Perhaps Berman has already made arrangements with them, asking them to drag things out!
Back then, I heard that Berman was highly favored in the race for the city's mayorship, and could likely become the next Mayor of Haru City.
Facing someone who might become the future mayor, how could the heads of those two departments not be "obedient"!
However, under the "separation of powers" system, the municipal government has independent oversight departments, so they can't all be swayed by Mr. Berman's influence.
"Didn't you file a complaint with the relevant oversight department?" Bai Xiaosheng asked.
"Yes, we lodged a complaint today." Grace said, somewhat dejected, "But the Pharmaceutical Administration and the City Safety Department presented evidence against us and silenced the oversight department directly."
"What adverse evidence?" Bai Xiaosheng inquired in surprise.
