Chen Lie stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his posture ramrod straight. He exuded an oppressive, domineering aura that was difficult to describe in words. He was unsmiling and extremely stern.
Su Xiyang didn't overthink it and recounted the entire incident to Chen Lie in full detail. Mid-explanation, she unthinkingly handed him the video evidence Shen Fanyun had recorded earlier.
"Alright. I have the gist of it now," Chen Lie nodded, his expression as serious and composed as ever. He then tucked the video evidence into his pocket and turned to remind his subordinate, "Omit the part about the evidence being submitted."
Su Xiyang was no fool. Chen Lie's action immediately aroused her suspicion. "Why," she asked, "are you ignoring the evidence?"
"Hmph?" Chen Lie, displeased, frowned and scrutinized Su Xiyang. "Are you questioning my professionalism? Judging by your tone, it sounds like you need me to explain myself to you?"
