"Wang Jingzhong, just because you outrank me doesn't mean you can issue orders to me at will. I'm telling you, I refuse to execute this order!"
Tang Wenrou scoffed at Wang Jingzhong's so-called command.
Tang Wenrou's personality was such that she would not react well to coercion. Had Wang Jingzhong approached her with calm and rational commands, she might have seriously considered and executed them. However, Wang Jingzhong's impetuous bellowing only served to provoke her strong defiant streak.
Although the Wang Family of Yanjing was indeed a powerful clan, the Tang Family of Anxi was no pushover either. Tang Wenrou was not intimidated by Wang Jingzhong. She thought that at worst, defying Wang Jingzhong would result in criticism from her superiors post-event and would not lead to her dismissal from the police force.
"Officer Tang, I apologize for my impulsiveness... The fact is, this is an order from our superiors!"
