The next morning.
During the office hours, Zhang Xiaoya arrived at the Criminal Police Brigade.
The officer who led her in walked a bit quickly and brought her straight to Director You, who was tidying up his army cot.
Zhang Xiaoya showed a surprised expression: "Director You, why... did you stay here overnight?"
"It was too late, and I didn't want to fuss about going back and forth. Besides, my wife and kids were already asleep; going back and forth would disturb them." Director You smiled genuinely.
Zhang Xiaoya became even more embarrassed: "This... this is really... I had no idea that you came here personally and stayed up so late, ah—on behalf of my brother, I thank you."
"No need to thank me, this is what we should do." Director You smiled and waved his hand, then continued to tidy up the army cot.
