"No need!" Sheng Ning took a deep breath, trying to make her tone sound a bit more polite. "Minister Hai, I'm really sorry about my sister's matter. Is there no room for negotiation?"
Hai Yunfeng was taken aback for a moment. The image of Sheng An pulling him out of the school gate flashed in his mind. "If I say I did nothing, would you believe me?"
"I believe you!" Sheng Ning nodded without hesitation. "I absolutely trust your integrity, Minister Hai." This was known throughout the district, but what she wanted was not Hai Yunfeng doing nothing.
Inaction, in fact, is also a form of action.
"That's enough!"
"Minister Hai, my sister is still so young, she's innocent. If it weren't for Han Xiaoqiu actively seeking her out, such a thing wouldn't have occurred."
"I know!" Hai Yunfeng nodded. "But Han Xiaoqiu is dead, and that's a fact no one can change."
"You can! Minister Hai, you are an upright elder and a leader worthy of everyone's respect. I'm begging you, can you?"
