Director Huang was visibly embarrassed, having received a call from Cao Xiaolou earlier and prepared himself mentally, yet still felt uneasy in the face of Wu Qiangwei's questioning.
"Mayor Wu, this was done by the people below," Director Huang shifted responsibility to his subordinates.
This matter can be big or small, mainly dependent on the leadership's classification from above.
Wu Qiangwei asked, "Where is Yang Ling?"
"She's already been released."
"Released?" Wu Qiangwei snorted, looking at Cao Xiaolou: "Who gave you the power to arrest and release at will? County Magistrate Cao, do your Gaoshui County police not need evidence to make arrests?"
Cao Xiaolou bowed his head, showing humility: "I just learned about this matter myself, Mayor Wu, rest assured, such incidents will absolutely not happen again in the future."
