"Manager Qiao, we're here. Where are the troublemakers?" His gaze sharpened, and he saw several people dressed in ordinary security uniforms, holding pagers in their hands. "What's this?"
Manager Qiao cast a puzzled look at the security guards and then at President Xie across from him—his heart sank.
Could it be that President Xie wasn't just inspecting the property and happened to hear his call, then came over?
Who was he here for?
A thought sprang into Manager Qiao's mind, his pupils contracted, and cold sweat soaked his back instantaneously.
"President Xie, then you are..."
Xie Hai snorted coldly, his gaze fell on the woman next to him, and he nodded his chin. "My sister-in-law."
Silence.
The surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of waves hitting the rocks remained.
Manager Qiao felt like lightning had struck on a clear day; his vision darkened, and his body wobbled, nearly losing his balance.
President Xie's sister-in-law?
