Meanwhile, when Zheng Huai Peak saw Zhao Rui come out, he asked, "What did they ask about?"
Zhao Rui recounted what was said during the questioning, then asked in a low voice,
"That man—the one with so much white in his eyes you could scramble an egg on them—seems to have it in for me! His questions were harsh, and his attitude was awful! Who is he?"
"Him? Got it. I'll look into it for you."
Zheng Huai Peak nodded, then escorted Zhao Rui out of the office building.
Once they were in the car, Zheng Huai Peak started driving while making a phone call.
A moment later, he turned to Zhao Rui and said, "The man's surname is Liu. He's also from our Dongqi Province. A relative of his was killed in the train hijacking. I imagine that's why he's giving you a hard time."
"Is that guy nuts? He should be going after the criminals, not me."
"Don't worry. As long as the inspection team doesn't get orders from on high to dig deeper, it shouldn't be an issue."
