Xu Jialin's face was covered in bruises, and her eyes were bloodshot, but they were mostly superficial wounds.
After a brief introduction by Zhang Bin, Song Guanchao asked directly, "Why withdraw the case?"
Xu Jialin hemmed and hawed, while Zhang Bin's gaze flitted about evasively.
"This group is suspected of serious crimes; I hope you can answer honestly. If you hide anything, I will have no choice but to take you back to the station," Song Guanchao said sternly.
Hearing this, the young couple became frightened.
Zhang Bin said, "Manager Wang told us to settle."
"Manager Wang said the group gave us a sum of money to drop the charges."
"How much?"
"Twenty thousand yuan."
"Did you receive it?"
"We did."
"Okay, thank you."
Song Guanchao left.
Back at the KTV, Captain Hu had already retrieved the surveillance footage.
Song Guanchao briefly explained the situation to him. Captain Hu nodded slightly and turned to the lobby manager, "Are you Manager Wang?"
"Yes, that's me."
