Back and forth

Han villa.

"I am on the lookout for the drug dealer like you asked. He has a history of drug abuse but he is a small-time offender. He was recently released from jail."

Shui frowned. "And he already got back to his own business?"

Yijun sighed. "Well that's how offenders are. Hardly anybody changes."

"But does it mean that Hou Lin will have to be in custody until he is found?"

"It's a little difficult to get his release to be honest. He is on parole and any illegal activity can cause serious repercussions. The parole could even get cancelled. But there is one thing about this parole officer."

"What?"

"I think he is not doing his job properly. It doesn't seem like he is putting any effort to find that dealer and get his confession, which is only wasting Hou Lin's time."

She blinked once. "...Are you implying that he is doing this on purpose?"
