"It's nine o'clock."
Hou Wen reminded.
Song Guanchao grabbed his watch and glanced at it, smiling, "Secretary Hou is getting older and needs more time to think. Let's extend the time, make it ten o'clock."
Ten o'clock arrived in a flash.
This time, without Hou Wen's reminder, Song Guanchao grabbed his watch, checked the time, and said earnestly, "Secretary Hou, we have one more hour."
"I am willing to give you one last chance."
"As long as you nod your head now and cooperate proactively, the money that will be transferred later will be counted on your account."
He put down his watch again, facing Hou Wen with the dial, "This time, I am giving you five minutes, the last five minutes, Secretary Hou. I hope you don't make a decision you'll regret."
Hou Wen held a smile and silently watched him.
The ticking of the second hand was especially clear in the quiet interrogation room.
Five minutes passed.
