"So what?" Qin Mei asked, staring intently at Gao Yang. Her gaze was firmer than ever before.
Gao Yang rubbed his face in frustration. "Qin Mei, your mission is to infiltrate the traffickers' inner circle and coordinate with us to rescue the hostages."
"Last night, I drugged them and made them sleep in until broad daylight," Qin Mei replied. "I slipped up and aroused Aunt Lan Hua's suspicion. But she only observed me. She didn't get rid of me."
"That just shows her conscience isn't completely dead yet," Gao Yang argued.
"If someone's conscience isn't completely dead, it proves they can still be saved. As long as she's given a chance, she'll step back from the brink, turn over a new leaf, and become a decent person again," Qin Mei said.
"She's a human trafficker. She broke the law, and she must face justice," Gao Yang insisted.
"She can atone for her crimes by cooperating, which could get her a lighter sentence," Qin Mei countered.
