As soon as John's voice faded, a stern voice came through the phone again.
"Joking? Do you think I'm calling you just to make a joke? You know exactly what you did!"
From the tone of the speaker from the empire, John could tell that he was serious, not joking.
Indeed, with his status and position, how could he possibly call just to make such a joke?
John gritted his teeth and said, "I think you may have misunderstood something, I just invited Professor Qiao to help out..."
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by a cold huff from the other end of the phone, "Is that so? That's a revelation to me."
"This kind of 'invitation' is certainly new to me!"
With each word from the other party, John's expression grew increasingly grim, and his voice sank, "It's just Professor Qiao, do you really need to make such a fuss over her?"
