"I called you to release the man, but you pretended not to hear me, forcing me to come all the way to the Yunshan City Police Department myself!" Hu Tianhua's tone was accusatory from the moment he opened his mouth. "If you actually become the Chief, wouldn't your ego get too big for your boots?"
After all, he was Liu Tiannan's direct superior, so there was no need for courtesy.
Liu Tiannan's heart went cold.
The truth was, his first instinct upon receiving the call had been to release the man. However, releasing Zhao Dabao meant defying the formidable Chen Zheng. That was why he had kept Zhao Dabao locked up tight for the past two days, stalling for as long as he could. Beside him, Chen Jiasong wore a deeply troubled expression; he knew exactly how much pressure Deputy Chief Liu was under.
"What is it?" Hu Tianhua's expression instantly darkened. "Deputy Chief Liu, I've come here in person, and you're still not going to do anything? This man is getting out of line."
