I was somewhat startled. "Can we go now? Weren't we just not allowed to leave?"
The police officer who had just stopped us spoke smoothly, "It was an order from above, we don't know the specifics, but this matter is certainly a misunderstanding, ma'am. We hope you can put in a good word for us."
He accompanied Sister Su and me all the way to the police station's entrance.
Sister Su took a deep breath and asked me, "Do you think they really let us go just now?"
I paused, thought for a moment, and hesitated a bit, "It must've been Gu Tingshen. Sister Su, what do you think about me being with Gu Tingshen?"
Over the years, Sister Su had taught me many things, so when it came to making decisions, I subconsciously sought her advice.
I was trapped between a rock and a hard place, and I had no choice but to seek Gu Tingshen's protection at the moment.
