"Stay calm, the sky hasn't fallen yet!"
Wu Jie gestured for Zheng to sit down and handed him a cigarette.
Zheng chuckled, just about to light it when he suddenly noticed Tang Xiao nearby...
"Hey, why are you crying? The case is serious, sure, but you're innocent!"
Taking a puff of the cigarette, Zheng offered some heartfelt advice:
"It's nothing. At worst, you'll be detained for a few days. Once the evidence is revealed and the truth comes out, you'll be free again. All those rumors and slanders will naturally collapse on their own!"
Zheng saw Tang Xiao's reddened eyes and traces of tears, assuming it was because of the case.
But in reality...
No matter how intense the case gets, it wouldn't scare Tang Xiao.
She'd weathered gunfire and storms—why be afraid of a minor ruckus like this?
