"I asked at the time, but Teacher Wei said if I didn't want to do it, I could just leave. After all, there were plenty of people waiting outside to be his assistant. I couldn't afford to lose this job!"
Yuan Zheng rubbed his hands in frustration. In fact, she was just a recent college graduate, new to the workforce without any connections. If she offended her superiors right at the start of her career, the days ahead would likely be tough.
Captain Liu didn't want to press him further. He nodded and said, "If everything you've said is true, I will try to handle your case with leniency."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zheng looked up hopefully and said, "Really? If I can provide some other information, can you release me immediately?"
Captain Liu furrowed his brow in thought.
What Yuan Zheng did didn't quite amount to a crime.
So he agreed, "Alright, as long as the information you provide is useful to our investigation, I will consider it."
