Upon hearing the young policeman's account, Captain Xu's face grew more somber.
The situation had developed beyond his expectations.
When they had initially sealed off the incident, they had done their utmost to minimize its spread.
Nevertheless, despite their efforts, various negative pieces of news had still quietly spread without their notice.
In their routine investigations, what they feared most was the current scenario.
If all the media reports had been true, it would have been another matter, but most of the time, those media outlets would create sensational headlines to grab attention just for traffic.
Those headlines could lead the public to make incorrect judgments.
Gradually, they would make the case even more troublesome, and the parties involved would face various losses.
Take Tong Lei, for example.
If she really had been involved in this incident, then she deserved to have contracts terminated and to be spat on by the guests.
