Yun Liu had calmed down on the way to the police station. When the police came to question her, Yun Liu said she didn't know anything and sobbed piteously—the very image of a sweet damsel in distress.
The police officers were frustrated while the Yun family's lawyers stood in a row outside, fully alert. The police had brought Yun Liu in just for routine questioning, and the higher-ups received a call asking them to make an exception and let her off. Therefore, not long after, they let Yun Liu go after she signed her statement.
The lawyers quickly surrounded Yun Liu protectively, and Yun Zhang had rushed over to pick her up. Many reporters had gathered at the entrance of the police station and swarmed Yun Liu's group as soon as they saw them. Yun Zhang removed his coat and draped it over Yun Liu, shielding her behind him as the reporters fired questions at them.
