Despite their unspoken agreement, things were a bit awkward.
"You could have just told me directly," Shen Xin said.
'We're colleagues on the same team, after all.'
'It's as if there's no trust between us.'
Ding Yuwei nodded, looking a little embarrassed.
Shen Xin didn't dwell on it and asked her what she wanted to do.
Ding Yuwei thought for a moment, then said, "You interned at a local precinct. You probably know these kinds of people better than I do. I'll follow your lead."
Shen Xin nodded and led Ding Yuwei upstairs.
He hesitated for a moment before adding, "I know you feel sorry for Liu Yuting and think her mom's a monster who doesn't deserve to be a mother."
"But no matter what a scumbag Shi Yanhua is, she's still her mother. As outsiders, we can offer sympathy and help..."
"...but you need to know how to protect yourself first. You have to have a line you won't cross."
'Don't go running back here just to threaten Wang Genping.'
