"Got him," Wei Jinna glanced at the young man before her and said casually. "But you came too late. He just got away."
She was not surprised that these Aines People had come here. If they did not even have that much "instinct," then they were not qualified to be standing here.
"Got away?" The young man's eyes widened abruptly. He raised a hand, seemingly unable to control his emotions for a moment. "How could you let him get away?! Don't you know he's the assassin who tried to kill the President?! You just let such an important criminal suspect escape?"
His voice grew increasingly restrained as he stepped forward. His final sentence was practically a growl.
Wei Jinna merely glanced at him, raised a hand, and opened the documents she held, revealing photographs of the explosion that had just occurred on the top floor. She pointed overhead. "There. Right on the roof. One shot, and it blew up like that. Under those circumstances, do you think you could have kept Pa Xiu under control?"
"That's no excu—" The young man looked at the photographs, furious beyond measure. Then he looked up and met Wei Jinna's calm gaze, as well as the row of young agents standing behind her. He took a slight breath. "Director Wei Jinna, do you know which way he went?"
"I don't." Wei Jinna shook her head. "Maybe you can search nearby. We're short-handed right now, so we probably can't spare anyone to look for Pa Xiu for the time being."
She truly did not know. After all, she had left the lava field first and had no idea which direction He Ao had gone afterward.
The young man stared at Wei Jinna's face, seemingly trying to determine whether she was telling the truth.
