The Issue of Stance
His new colleague, Deng Di, stammered, "Call the police? There's no need, right? Doctor Li, wouldn't that be making a mountain out of a molehill?"
He thought it was merely a minor conflict between colleagues, nowhere near serious enough to warrant calling the police. He had also underestimated how great a reaction Li Bai would have.
