"Please, we need only one time to go inside and meet Yong. It's very important," Jia pleaded at the entrance. "We have a very important case to work on."
The female guard-come-attendant sneered. "Yeah it's always an important case for you cops. That's how you always fool us and get us into trouble."
"No, Yong won't be in trouble-"
"Word is that you saw her in some gathering which she is not supposed to be at so you are already labeling her as a criminal."
"That's not true. We only need Yong to answer some questions, that's all."
She smiled. "That's what they had said years ago when Nuwa didn't come back."
"Nuwa?"
"One of ours who never returned after servicing some rich client. The police had found her but said they needed her for some important interrogation. I wonder if Nuwa didn't return from her client's place or the bureau you apparently uphold your justice at," she sneered. "So pardon us if we don't trust you."
