Acceptance

"After further investigation, we were led to Young Master Bai. Are you the one driving it?" The Chief didn't beat around the bush, asking him directly. 

"Uh…" Kenneth's jaw tightened, glancing at the solemn front of his father then scanned the same unfazed faces staring back at him. "Yes." Through his gritted teeth, he answered. 

He couldn't rat out Zoey because they might capture her. If that happened, Kenneth was uncertain what would happen. After all, he liked Zoey as a person. Even if she turned out to be a bad person, until Zoey showed him her true colors, Kenneth would see her as a 'friend'.

"I apologize if I troubled Chief Leng earlier." Kenneth made a deep bow, expressing his apologies that he shouldn't be doing. 

"Haha," However, unlike what Kenneth anticipated, which was his father's disappointed call, their waves of relaxed chuckles reach his ears.
