Zhu Fanfan looked at Luo Ren defiantly: "Uncle, do you know Luo Ren, the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau in Lin City? He detained my people and won't let me see them."

A voice came from the other end: "Fanfan, although your uncle is in the same system as them, we're not familiar with each other. Wait for me a moment, I'll find you someone you know well."

After the phone call ended, Luo Renyi said sternly, "You don't need to worry about it. Even if the bureau chief comes, the rules still can't be violated. I'd rather lose my job than make an exception."

Zhu Fanfan looked at Luan Zhian beside her, then at Luo Ren. Luo Ren was not afraid at all: "You can call me to complain all you want. I'm upright and honest. If I were afraid, I wouldn't be a cadre trained by the people. If you threaten me with Luan Zhian's safety, I'd rather die with you than be threatened by you."

Zhu Fanfan saw that Luo Ren was indeed as determined as he said, and his expression showed that he was an open and honest person. However, she trusted her intuition even more. She felt that Luo Ren must have done something wrong, and the aura around him did not give her the feeling of pure righteousness.

However, she couldn't directly offend her people who were under his control, so she said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I won't use my own people as scapegoats. I just want to see how he can sleep so much."

Luo Ren: ...Don't you feel guilty saying that yourself?

After waiting for a while, someone knocked on the door. Luo Ren said irritably, "Come in."

The door opened, and a kind-looking old man entered. Upon seeing him, Luo Ren quickly stood up and asked, "Director, what brings you here? Is there something you need?"

The director said gently, “An old friend just called me and said that his niece works in the military and her subordinates have been detained. You are not allowing them to meet. I came to see what’s going on. This must be Fanfan. I’ve heard so much about you. My name is Changsun Mao. You can just call me Uncle Mao. Qishan and I are old comrades-in-arms.”

Zhu Fanfan stood up and said sweetly, "Uncle Maozi, just call me Fanfan."

Changsun Mao chuckled and said, "Isn't this a coincidence? The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple. You want to see your subordinates? That's easy, I'll take you there."

Knowing that she was a child of the Zhu family and there wouldn't be any problems with her identity, and since it was just a meeting and not a matter of taking her away, he still had to give her face.

Luo Ren said firmly, "Director, this is against regulations, I object."

Changsun Mao was a little displeased, but still said in a good-natured manner, "Luo Ren, you're just too rigid. We're all public servants, we're family. Why bother with rules and regulations among our own people? Fanfan, don't take it to heart. But what Luo Ren said is true, rules are meant to be followed. Why don't you tell Uncle Mao what message you want to pass on, and I'll relay it to you, okay?"

The deputy director is stubborn and inflexible. He must be severely punished for breaking the law and violating regulations, but there are many minor things in his work that, even if they are discovered, will only result in a few words of reprimand, which is harmless. If he is lenient, he can even get a good result and make others owe him a favor. No matter how you teach this deputy director, he just won't get it.

Zhu Fanfan replied with a smile, "No, I have doubts about the Public Security Bureau's security awareness. They caught a spy yesterday, released him last night, and even pinned the crime on my people. Uncle Maozi, it makes me hard to believe your communication skills."

Luo Ren said, "We took immediate action after the person escaped. The net of justice is vast and its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it. I will not let any criminal escape, and I will do everything in my power to bring the person to justice."

Zhu Fanfan retorted: "The problem is that you released the person."

Luo Ren said again, "The spies are cunning and have escaped. We are taking measures to apprehend them and bring them to justice."

Zhu Fanfan retorted sarcastically, "Is your policy simply to arrest whoever catches the spy?"

Luo Ren retorted angrily, "You're just being unreasonable. We despise spies and secret agents. You can say we're incompetent, but you can't insult us like this."

Seeing that the two were about to argue, Changsun Mao stepped in to smooth things over: "Alright, we're all on the same side, let's not fight amongst ourselves. Calm down. Rules are rules. But it's normal for you to have doubts because of our mistake, Fanfan. Here's what we'll do: we'll let you see your subordinates, but Luo Ren and I will come along. Is that alright?"

He had just heard about this in the morning and thought it was a case of the police neglecting their duties at night. If the other side had caught a spy, it would be normal to question him, but being interrogated was a bit much. This matter could not be taken lightly.

Zhu Fanfan only needs to see the person and confirm that they are safe; there's no need to take them away. This place is far too dangerous.

Luo Ren was in the wrong, and even the bureau chief gave him a warning look, indicating that he wasn't on Luo Ren's side, so he had no choice but to agree.

When they arrived at the interrogation room, the interrogation had already begun. Zhu Fanfan even listened at the door for a while. When she went in, a group of people were taking turns questioning Tong Ze about whether he was an accomplice. They were very agitated and didn't hear the door open at all.

Zhu Fanfan sneered, "Is this what you call security? You think I didn't participate in the interrogation? In psychology, this is called induced confession."

Luo Ren explained, "This is standard procedure."

Zhu Fanfan didn't respond: "Is the next step to torture and forced confessions, preparing to make you scapegoats?"

Unexpectedly, Tong said, "Class monitor, they just want to force a confession out of me. If I hadn't shown my pass, they would have already started beating me up. They even threatened me to confess."

The interrogator hurriedly explained, "We didn't. We were just conducting a routine questioning. Our tone was a bit harsh, but there was absolutely no torture involved."

Tong Ze said, "They asked me to explain in detail how I let the spy go yesterday. I said I didn't, and they said that my dishonesty was obstructing official business and that I would never be able to get out of here. No one can do anything about it. They are the local bullies here. Even if we are outsiders, we have to be careful here."

Zhu Fanfan: ...You passed!

The two police officers hurriedly explained, "We didn't say that, we were just asking him, and he's lying."

Changsun Mao smiled kindly at Zhu Fanfan without saying a word, his understanding was obvious, and his smile towards Zhu Fanfan became meaningful.

Zhu Fanfan looked at Changsun Mao: "Do you think this kind of interrogation is meaningful? My people can easily make you feel guilty with just a few words. You should take more psychology classes. Your mental fortitude is lacking."

Changsun Mao: ...Why don't you say that your people are too cunning? With that wronged look that makes him want to bang his head against the wall to prove his innocence, anyone who sees it would think that he has been wronged. Isn't it shameful for a grown man to act like a drama queen?

Luo Ren said righteously, "Director, I trust my comrades. They would not do anything to coerce or bribe."

Changsun Mao didn't want to waste time talking to a fool, so he said directly to Zhu Fanfan, "You've seen the person, so you can rest assured now, right? I guarantee he won't be interrogated later. Once you bring back the spy to prove his innocence, he can go back."

Zhu Fanfan snorted: "I discovered the spy, and I reminded Xia Wenfei so we could all catch him together. We caught him, but he escaped from the police station. Then you want me to catch him again to prove his innocence? Don't you find that ridiculous? And Ning Jingyun, I still want to see her."

Luo Ren wanted to say something more, but Changsun Mao stopped him: "This was our oversight, but they are important witnesses and need to cooperate with the investigation. According to regulations, they have to stay here for observation."

Zhu Fanfan said, "I need to see my female subordinate. You should know that girls might feel a little uncomfortable in this place."
