After he spoke, Mr. Zhao regretted his words, realizing he had just called himself a donkey. He quickly stepped forward and said,
""Look at this, now that you've used us, your attitude changes instantly. But I'm puzzled. I came here with Zhou Xiaozhou. How did you know Zhou Xiaozhou would cooperate with you? It looked as if you had rehearsed it, leaving me completely dumbfounded.""
Xu Dayuan laughed and gave Zhou Ning a nudge on the shoulder.
""He's got a sharp mind. This kind of cooperation comes naturally to him; no need to plan ahead. But it's normal for you not to understand, because you're dumb!""
Inside the interrogation room, Xu Dayuan patted Tao Zhenshan on the shoulder.
Carrying his thermos, Tao Zhenshan stood up and walked out, his face showing frustration and anger. As he turned into the next room and saw Zhou Ning and the others standing there, his face cleared of its gloom.
Drawing closer, he set down the thermos and looked at the group up and down.
