Mr. Song Lan was taken away by a black-clad agent from the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau.
The black sedan drove on the highway, neither side uttering a word along the way.
The agents were surprised by Mr. Song Lan's silence throughout the journey. To put him at ease and ensure his cooperation, they had prepared many arguments to counter the numerous questions Mr. Song Lan might pose. However, Mr. Song Lan was so compliant that they didn't know what to say for a moment.
This operation was very important for the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau. The relationship between Lu Xiang and Mr. Song Lan was no secret, so by "inviting" the latter to visit the Bureau's facility in District Seventeen, the Review Meeting would have much stronger leverage on the negotiating table.
Lu Xiang was aware of their tactics, so to ensure Mr. Song Lan could be safely questioned, she would have to agree to some demands she would have otherwise refused.
