Song Cheng was certain the enemy was a high-ranking official from within the Security Bureau. Ever since Mei Shasha turned herself in, he had immediately received an order for her interrogation. He considered it improper and rejected the request. Then, a new order came down: members of the Night Owl Mansion were expendable, and Mei Shasha, an ordinary person involved in their affairs, was to be executed immediately as a warning to others.
Song Cheng was especially repulsed by such a hasty and unreasonable order and refused it on the spot. Although Mei Shasha had participated in the Night Owl Mansion's activities, her motive had been to collect evidence, and she had surrendered voluntarily. The order he received was a complete distortion of the facts.
