The next day, someone from the city came to notify Lin Qiong to release Lin Sihao, but Lin Qiong used the excuse that the investigation wasn't clear yet, so he had to sort it out before releasing anyone. He didn't outright refuse or fail to show the courtesy due to the other party.
Lin Qiong didn't have many schemes; in her nature, when facing a profligate Young Master like Lin Sihao who didn't regard others' lives seriously, she had to punish him severely. However, Li Yifei taught her that she couldn't be so direct, as there were too many intricacies in the official scene, and being too rigid could lead to breakage. She had to learn to be more tactful.
Besides, delaying now meant forcing the Lin family to actually step in, not just sending someone random to get Lin Sihao out. Moreover, Lin Sihao had become a threat to Yifei's family, so he had to sort this kid out to avoid future troubles.
