Inside the jail cell.
Zhou Qing sat on a straw-covered mat, looking up at the small window on the wall.
The window was covered with iron bars. Scattered light filtered through, casting a square on the straw mat that was as bright as snow.
Hearing a commotion outside, Zhou Qing instinctively turned his head and saw Shen Bai stepping into the jail cell.
"Lao Shen, how did you get in here? This has nothing to do with him! Chief Zheng, you haven't arrested him, have you?"
Since Chief Zheng had entered with Shen Bai, Zhou Qing immediately assumed that he had been arrested as well.
Chief Zheng gave a wry smile. "We wouldn't dare arrest Shopkeeper Shen. Zhou Qing, you two can catch up."
Zhou Qing was taken aback, not understanding what he meant.
Shen Bai walked closer and recounted what had happened in the courtyard.
