WHOOSH—
The moment Qian Yu finished speaking, Li Hongqi, Captain Jiang, the bearded officer, and several other nearby cops who had been eavesdropping all whipped their heads around in unison, their gazes zeroing in on her.
A dozen gazes filled with shock, doubt, and scrutiny instantly doubled the pressure on Qian Yu.
"Hey, you. What did you just say?" the bearded officer asked, his eyes wide.
"Qian Yu! Don't talk nonsense if you don't know what you're talking about!"
Beside Qian Yu, a slightly older, capable-looking female officer's expression tightened. She quickly hissed, cutting her off.
Then, putting on an apologetic smile, the policewoman looked toward Li Hongqi and Captain Jiang and explained, "Captain Li, Captain Jiang, my apologies. She has only been with our branch for a short time—just half a year. She isn't familiar with certain things. Young people are eager to prove themselves and can misspeak. I hope you two can forgive her."
