The threat, which was not concealed at all, caused the four elders to shake with fear. They felt immense regret, as they were being blackmailed by Xiao Sui after all!
With their previous shady sexual behavior being used as leverage against them, they felt regretful, but could not even say a word in protest! If they had told the truth in time, everyone could have rushed over to fix the hole together.
But, if they had done that, their secret exploits in little building in the balcony would have been exposed after a thorough investigation. Then, their names and reputations would have all been drug through the mud by Xiao Sui!
So, they had chosen to hide the truth for now, hoping never to be exposed. With this hope in mind, the four elders decided unanimously to remain silent.
