In the ensuing silence, Jia Yi watched Lanaia and Fu Qian leave.
Faced with Fu Qian's blatant personal threats, the regional director backed down once again.
Though he was baffled by the academy mentor's appalling conduct, he clearly wasn't willing to bet his life on it.
The killer's body was here, and he had the academy's backing. Once the identity was confirmed, all he had to do was think carefully about how to write up his report. It wouldn't be hard to smooth things over.
