Guan Zhengyang was displeased, feeling that Shen Jingye was merely making excuses: "Dark Star Bureau personnel attending an academic exchange during work hours? Do you think such a thing is reasonable? Do you think this is the outcome we want?"
Shen Jingye's tone intensified: "Li Qi attended the academic exchange with the proper leave procedures in place. He has the right to acquire knowledge during his leave. I find this entirely reasonable. If you find it unreasonable, please tell me what he should have done during his leave to be reasonable?"
Furthermore, if you feel that our investigation results aren't what you want, kindly inform me of the desired results, and we'll investigate according to your guidance. Would that be appropriate?"
Guan Zhengyang was silent for quite a while, unable to utter a single word. People often praised him as young and promising, learned, and eloquent.
