Li Cai hadn't expected that Lin Yi would define the issue right from the start.
Everything he had wanted to say was choked back; after all, wage arrears were indeed illegal.
"Brother, when such an incident occurs, it naturally deserves serious handling, but we are all police officers, and when we encounter such matters, we should still aim for mediation, without the need to escalate the issue unduly."
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows, looking at Li Cai.
"Weren't you the one who had mediated once before? Now it's still the same mess. How do you intend to mediate further?"
The expressions of the two from the Nong'an Branch were not very natural.
Li Cai sized up Lin Yi with an unpleasant look on his face.
"This happened in our Nong'an jurisdiction; we can handle it ourselves without wasting your police resources."
"So you're playing word games with me too," said Lin Yi.
