WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“You violated my privacy and now expect praise for not destroying the evidence? How absurd.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Subverting the Honorific 'Laoshi' (Teacher)

In Chinese culture, teachers command unconditional moral deference. Explicitly appending the formal title 'Teacher Liu' to a scathing sarcastic question weaponizes deference to highlight the teacher's moral failure.
