Jack immediately angrily retorted “If we withdraw the people now, it will be a complete loss for us!”
The Chief asked rhetorically “Have we not thoroughly searched? How much longer do you want to search? Even if I give you a month’s time to tear down this building, you will not be able to find the people!”
Jack blurted out, “Director, you let the special operations team search again. I think she definitely can’t escape, maybe she’s hiding somewhere in the Joules Group!”
The Chief said angrily “Li, I know you are close to retirement and you’ve encountered such a case. In your heart, you must not be convinced, but I tell you, now that this matter has been in front of the media and public, it has sparked a huge discontent, now the internet is full of curses on police. The mayor has made countless calls accusing us!”
Jack said “That’s why we have to catch Xion and find a way to force her to give the cause of the Dragon Temple’s involvement in this matter!”
The Chief scolded “You’re out of your mind, right? Whether or not those people were killed by the Dragon Temple I’ll tell you one thing, now the people of the United States and even the world are applauding the death of these people. They all regard the killers behind the scenes as heroes. Even the mayor asked us to stop the investigation, you still want to disobey the mayor’s orders?”
Jack was suddenly dumbfounded by the question. He was silent for a moment and asked, “Director, it’s okay to call off the search now, but what about after that? Will this matter never be investigated?”
