In the evening, two off-road vehicles stopped in front of the police station not far from the town committee.
Director Wu, alighting from a car, strode into the station.
"Where is my son, Wu Duowen? Release my son immediately!"
Director Wu grabbed a policeman by the hand, his voice laden with urgency.
"So you are Wu Duowen's family member, right? He's suspected of seeking trouble and causing disturbance, he's still in detention."
The policeman glanced at Director Wu and spoke indifferently.
"Nonsense. When did he ever cause trouble and disturbance? He led a team here to Lotus Town to inspect sanitary conditions on an official mission. You arrest him just like that—is there no law anymore? I warn you, I am Wu Duowen, Director of the County Health Bureau. I order you to release him immediately, or bear the consequences."
