I think Shen Wei does try to be impartial - I don't think he ever tries to be unsympathetic, but at least impartial in terms of not going easier on people he likes
Yes, 100% agreed on that -- but that's in his duties. Zhang Ruonan hasn't committed any crimes, and if she had, she wouldn't be under his jurisdiction. She's already suffered terribly. And she's someone he has a personal/professional relationship with, feels responsible for, and likes (and, as you say, he sees a lot of his own story in hers). Even if he'd save a complete stranger under the same circumstances, I can't see how all that background wouldn't factor in to his willingness to risk using his powers under the SID's nose. Idk...
