"Oh, there's no need to be so polite! I've been retired for many years now!" the old lady said, pinching a cigarette in one hand and taking a sizzling drag.
So, who exactly was this old lady? And why did both Su Xuan and Cen Haonan treat her with such respect, even calling her Chief Zhong?
The story goes back to the moment Cen Haonan arrived. Su Xuan had pulled him inside, and the first person Cen Haonan saw was the old lady. He recognized her instantly! It was Zhong Huilan, the former head of the City Police Department! She had been retired for five or six years, but back in her prime, Cen Haonan had his fair share of dealings with her.
