Chapter 31

After today’s events, Lu Yike felt an inexplicable sense of dread regarding the investigation into Liang Song. This was not a case of her, as a public servant, shying away from organized crime. From the very beginning, she had been following Hou Liangping’s lead in the investigation. In truth, Liang Song showed no obvious traces of criminal activity; one could even say they had not secured a shred of evidence. The disappearance of Sun Da, which they suspected might be linked to Liang Song, was nothing more than a hunch held by Director Hou. They had already rushed in recklessly today, only to be met with total failure. Given the current state of affairs, she truly felt they should wait until they had concrete evidence before attempting to delve deeper into Liang Song. She gathered her breath, about to speak, but stopped when she caught sight of Hou Liangping’s eyes, which were sharp as blades. Lu Yike wisely shut her mouth. She knew that if she tried to dissuade him now, she would be walking straight into the line of fire. It was clear that the Director would not rest until he had dug something up on Liang Song. At this juncture, it was best not to invite trouble.
