A knock on the door made Shayla look up to meet eyes with a man who looked at her with very determined yet confused eyes.

But his expression was neutral. 

Shayla: yes?

???: You're the detective working for the Lee Taeyong case?

Shayla nodded, unsure of what the male wanted. 

He entered before looking around cautiously. He sat in front of her desk before looking at her nameplate.

???: You understand Chinese?

Shayla: I do. Who are you?

???: Dong Sicheng. And you have to help me.

Shayla: Help you with?

Sicheng: Getting Taeyong out of jail.

Shayla laughed in humour.

Shayla: I can't do that sir. He was proven guilty. 

She said switching back to Korean.

Sicheng: He is being framed.

Her eyebrow raised, in question.

Shayla: Do you have proof?

Sicheng: I...

Shayla: I am sorry sir but i will have to ask you to leave. 

Sicheng: He didn't do it. Whatever you are accusing him of, he didn't do it. 

Shayla: Like i said. I can not do anything without any proof. If you can get me some proof, i will listen to your statement. But without a solid one, i can not be of any help.

She said pursing her lips. Sicheng's shoulders slumped in disappointment.

Sicheng: Are you really convinced that he did it?

Shayla: Sir-

She sighed, finding him annoying at this point. So she opened a video on her laptop and showed it to him. It was the CCTV footage of the accident.

She watched how the expression on his face contorted to confusion.

Shayla: There we go. 

She pulled the laptop closer to her once the video was over.

Shayla: Are you convinced now. Who are you to him any way? Friend?

Sicheng looked at her but left her question unanswered as he stood up. She thought he wouldn't tell her but right as he was leaving he turned to her.

Sicheng: Taeyong is a gang leader. But our gang does not deal with violence. So there is no reason for Taeyong to intentionally kill them. You are wrong. And you will be proved so. 

With that, he left her office. But a shudder ran through Shayla's back. 

Shayla: In a gang without violence? Tsk... as if i will believe that. 

She looked down at her laptop, ready to write the closing paper for the case, just as her door opened again with a knock.

Renjun: Shayla, who was that man that left your room so angrily?

Shayla: A member from Taeyong's gang.

Renjun: He told you he is a member?

Shayla could sense the curiousness in the younger's voice as he sat down at his desk in the side of the room.

Shayla: Well not really. But he did say "our gang". Which i think gives it away.

Renjun just hummed.

Renjun: So... are you closing the case then?

She didn't have an answer to that now that for some reason, Shayla had a sense of suspicion. What if she went wrong somewhere?
