Cui Shibin's slightly nervous and panicked demeanor made Zhou Zheng increasingly puzzled.
No matter how big the issue gets blown up, Zhou Zheng felt that Cui Shibin, as Consul General, shouldn't be this way.
He seemed terribly afraid of the situation escalating.
Shouldn't Song Guanchao be the one fearing the chaos?
Zhou Zheng couldn't understand and couldn't fathom it.
But none of this mattered.
Even if Cui Shibin didn't bring it up, he would find a way to suppress the heat.
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "Let me see you off."
Once they were gone, Zhou Zheng immediately contacted Minister Liu from the propaganda department, asking him to suppress the news.
Next, he called Liang Jianfeng.
"Director Liang, release Director Song."
Liang Jianfeng almost thought he misheard.
"Release?"
"Yes."
"Sorry, can't do that."
"What did you say?" Zhou Zheng looked puzzled.
Clearly, Song Guanchao and Liang Jianfeng were in cahoots, yet he refused when asked to release Song Guanchao?
