"You're full of shit. Just because they say I set it all up, does it mean it's true? What evidence do they have?" Chen Jiao immediately exploded, glaring at the cop who had just spoken.
Chen Jiao might have been involved in that kind of setup, but to say she was the mastermind behind it, I didn't buy it. Clearly, that bunch was trying to dump this mess on Chen Jiao to make her take the fall.
The cop beside me kept apologizing, without ever bringing up releasing us. I knew they were stonewalling, thinking back to what I'd said about all the involved parties needing to be caught, recalling the cop's panicked hopping about.
I figured those small-time bosses were likely already released by them, and now they had to detain Chen Jiao to cover their asses. I cut off their explanations, "Since you're all unwilling to release us, I won't waste my breath on you anymore, but make no mistake, you're not getting away with cuffing me today."
