Looking at the elderly man opposite him and his graying hair, Luo Yu froze for a moment.
Guilt welled up within him.
He blamed himself for what he had done before.
"Rest assured, sir!"
"I'll stay right here in this Interrogation Room."
"I absolutely won't cause our Ink Pavilion any trouble!"
His expression was solemn, his words firm.
As though what he was doing now was something deeply meaningful.
"Good boy, good boy."
"You've been put through a lot."
Looking at Luo Yu, Yuan Qingshan's eyes even grew a little moist. He wiped them with his sleeve before slowly walking out of the Interrogation Room, thoughtfully closing the door for Luo Yu and putting three locks on it from outside.
The instant he turned to leave, his expression returned to normal.
"Keep an eye on him for the next while!"
"Turn on the Interrogation Room's energy-isolation equipment for him, too."
"Check his daily meals carefully to prevent poisoning."
"If he suddenly starts convulsing, foaming at the mouth, or showing any other injuries, don't send him to the hospital."
"Call me straight over. I've studied medicine. I'll treat him myself!"
"Don't make some rookie mistake like calling in a doctor who turns out to be the enemy."
Yuan Qingshan spoke to the Dark Pavilion member beside him as he walked.
Watching Yuan Qingshan's back, the Dark Pavilion member said quietly, "Our superiors already gave us those instructions."
"Before the Pavilion Master left, he left instructions saying..."
"If there's nothing going on, please stop coming to our Dark Pavilion all the time. It's rather inappropriate."
"The Education Department handles education, not fugitives."
Yuan Qingshan stiffened, his expression turning slightly unnatural for a moment.
He coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness.
"I'm helping take some of the burden off your Dark Pavilion, understand?"
