Lu Xiaodan followed Zhang Boqing to the detention center and saw Xu Yao looking utterly defeated.
Judging by his haggard appearance, it's clear that Director Liu must have used some special means to make him agree to a settlement so quickly.
Xu Yao was no longer the arrogant figure he once was; now he was like a dog with its tail between its legs. His parents also wore faces of resignation, forced to accept this reality.
Secretary Zhang was also a smart person. To witness Xu Yao's family apologize to Lu Xiaodan, he even called in friends from the county television station and news media.
After all, to clear County Magistrate Lin's name, such a big issue had to be documented on video.
Xu Yao hung his head as he approached Lu Xiaodan, but felt too ashamed to speak.
Seeing him like that, Director Liu leaned over and whispered, "Xu Yao, hurry up and apologize!"
