"I have a few words to say."
Huo Shiqian asked directly, "I want to know, who reported us?"
Police: ".... This, to protect the whistleblower, we can't just disclose their information."
After a cold laugh, Huo Shiqian said, "Protect the whistleblower?"
"Very well." Huo Shiqian, with an exceptionally cold expression, slowly drew out his military officer ID, and flipping it open, showed it to the interrogating officer.
Then, word by word, he said, "What crime should be attributed to making a false report against an active-duty military officer?"
The police comrade caught sight of the words on Huo Shiqian's military officer ID, his head swelling in an instant.
