Tang Li didn't just retrieve that string of apartment keys from the detention center office.
Even though Ethan had taken precautions by specifying "apartment keys" on the power of attorney, it couldn't prevent Tang Li from getting his cellphone.
The procedure to collect the stored confiscated items was handled by a female police officer.
Ethan was locked up for solicitation, and being a foreigner, the police officer remembered him. Seeing Tang Li wearing a mask, she couldn't help but take a second glance at this family member.
For men caught soliciting, it's often their other half who suffer the most.
Therefore, when the officer learned that Tang Li was there to receive the confiscated items of the foreign national, she immediately opened the drawer and took out the sealed bag containing the cellphone, apartment keys, and a lighter.
