There's a new breakthrough in the case, but it's still not something that can be solved quickly. Moreover, his role in it is just a minor one; he mostly stands by and observes, learning from the experience of the old hands.
Fortunately, he already knows who the perpetrator is. The rest depends on how far the police can investigate. If they hit a bottleneck again, he has a way to give them a little nudge without much trouble.
So he decided to take a little break for himself, to relax a bit. As for who approved his break, of course, it was himself!
Nowadays, his role is quite special. Although he's a cybersecurity consultant for the police, he's not actually under their management. He's not like Li Zijun, an official employee; he's merely a consultant, an outsider hired by the government. Whenever there's an issue within the government, it's always the outside hires like him.
