Ten minutes later, Officer Xiao Yang ran up to Yan Ren with a telephone in hand.
"Captain Yan, it's the Director's call."
Yan Ren took the phone and entered a sealed room, where he heard the Director's genial voice.
"Yan Ren, why is there a lawyer filing a complaint against you? They even called me directly with their complaint."
He quickly explained, "Director, about that, it's the lawyer..."
The Director's voice interrupted him, "Enough, I'll pretend I never received this complaint. You are about to be promoted. At this critical time, it's better not to have any complaints against you."
"Lawyer Shen stated that Nan Qingqing has fully cooperated with the investigation, so let her and Lawyer Shen leave."
Yan Ren glanced out the window at Shen Lu, who sat leisurely in a distant chair, and wanted to resist further.
"Director, we can't let her go; if we do, we may never be able to apprehend her again."
