Gao Ning finished the tea in his cup, had the waiter refill it, and then waved them off.

"I believe Mr. Gao didn't come here today just to chat about this," Gu Wenheng said.
"No wonder you won the title of Champion Scholar. You can still remain so clear-headed at a time like this." If it were an ordinary person, they would have long since shown their joy, yet the man before him still wore a look of indifference.
"I won't keep you in suspense. The Xiao Family's daughter has confessed, but she claims she was instructed by you to poison Lord Niu."
