The policewoman recounted the whole incident.
She also mentioned how when Lu Jincheng was called into the interrogation room, his face showed an unmistakable and sincere concern upon hearing Ji Yao's reaction.
She went on to say that afterwards, Lu Jincheng didn't shield his mother and, upon solving the case, his first thought was to see Ji Yao, all because he didn't want to leave her with a worse impression of him.
The policewoman told all of this to Ji Yao.
Though Ji Yao still appeared expressionless, her heart had begun to ache in waves.
It turned out that everything was a misunderstanding.
The hatred gradually dissipated, transforming into guilt.
Unaware, two crystal-clear tears fell from the corners of Ji Yao's eyes, and the policewoman, thinking Ji Yao was crying from sadness, quickly handed her a tissue.
Ji Yao, somewhat bewildered, wiped at the corners of her eyes, only then realizing she had been crying.
"Thank you."
