    When I became Wang Ke, the silent gossipmonger in the dark, I didn't say much, just quietly watched the drama unfold. Scene 1: When Zhang Ying was giving a report, Yan Ba ​​(Zhou Wuyang) asked for crucial information. Zhang Ying silently looked at Ci Ma (Jiang Tao). Jiang Tao saw Zhou Wuyang signaling that she shouldn't give any hints. Zhang Ying admitted her mistake and slipped up. We quickly pleaded for her, and Zhang Ying got a lecture. Scene 2: A murderer was thirsty and asked to use the restroom. Zhang Ying, due to her gender, couldn't follow and monitor him, and the murderer escaped. Jiang Tao angrily reprimanded Zhou Wuyang, and afterwards apologized profusely. Zhou Wuyang noticed the problem and volunteered to go undercover. Scene 3: During a rural investigation of an unmarried pregnant woman, the two shared a room, disliking each other—so funny! :-D Countless similar scenes—I've had enough gossip! Beneath each case, the unreliable Zhang Ying boldly attempted to cover for the victims. Without the team leader and deputy team leader, progress was really difficult. The atmosphere in the office was extremely dull when Team Leader Zhou wasn't there. When the team leader returned, the sky cleared.
