Shen Manwen couldn't help but frown. Even though she had mentally prepared herself, hearing the news firsthand still made her terribly upset.
"Secretary Huang, are we just going to let those people distort the truth and slander others at will?"
"Manwen, do you have any evidence?"
"I don't have evidence yet, Secretary Huang. Could you give me three more days? I'm not willing to give up just yet. If I haven't found any evidence after three days, I will return to the province with you."
Huang Xiangtao gave Shen Manwen a displeased look.
"Nonsense! Manwen, do you think our provincial discipline inspection commission handles cases like child's play? Do you think you can delay as long as you want? To stay in Ji County for such a trivial matter for three more days? How would Secretary Tian view me? Might he think I am incompetent in handling affairs?"
"This..."
Shen Manwen fell silent; she certainly shouldn't, out of her own minor wilfulness, cause Secretary Huang to be criticized.
