She was just about to open the door when someone yanked her back with great force, tossing her aside. Mr. Su's figure swiftly passed by her, reaching the door ahead of her, and he cautiously opened it.
Standing outside was a policeman.
After showing their police IDs, the policemen wanted to check their identification cards.
They handed over their IDs and journalist cards.
"So, you're journalists!" The policeman returned their documents.
"Yes, we're discussing some article issues," Su Ronggui explained.
The policeman nodded, "Sorry to bother you!"
As the police turned to leave, Tu Hengsha peeked out from behind Su Ronggui to look through the open door. She saw the policemen escorting several disheveled men and women down the corridor, among whom was the woman in the Mei red dress she had encountered twice.
"It's you again! How many times have we caught you already? This hotel today, that motel tomorrow!" a policeman's voice rang out.
