He Lu knew that He Wenjie must have purposely withheld information out of dissatisfaction with Department Chief Zhào. In her heart, she had always hoped that He Wenjie would return to the country after completing his undercover mission. Someone with He Wenjie's foreign undercover experience would very likely be assigned to the counter-terrorism department upon his return. Therefore, she did not want him to remain at such a stalemate with Department Chief Zhào, so she said, "Department Chief Zhào, I know He Wenjie. He wouldn't be acting like this if you didn't have prejudices against him. I know this is your standard procedure, but shouldn't you show a little warmth toward your own comrades?"
Department Chief Zhào knew that although He Lu's words carried a reproach, she was also offering him a graceful way out. So he said placatingly, "It was our oversight. I apologize on behalf of my team members, but this matter~~~~"
"How about this? Let me go talk to him. He will talk for my sake, but~~~~"
