Wang Yating froze for a moment when she saw the credentials in Chen Miao's hand.
She took them from him.
Once she saw the crude credentials, which contained nothing but the words "Emergency Affairs Investigation Bureau" and a string of numbers, she scoffed.

The moment she hung up, Chen Miao spoke.
"Believe me now?"
