“l keep feeling that there is something wrong with that person today. Did she faint in front of you on purpose? Maybe she wants to extort money from us!” Xia He asked.

“It doesn’t look like it. I think she really fainted. Her eyes didn’t even flutter when the ambulance arrived,” Qiao Mei replied earnestly. Liang Jin definitely did not expect to run into Qiao Mei, but it was good that they bumped into each other. This way, it would cause Zhang Cheng and Liang Jin to have nightmares every night.

“Let’s rest early. I don’t want to think about those annoying things,” Xia He said.

Early the next morning, there was a loud pounding on the main door and it went on for a long time. If whoever did that used a bit more strength, the door might even be kicked open. The neighbors opened their doors and watched the commotion quietly. Although they were also very afraid, they could not resist the urge to watch the drama.

“What’s going on?” Xia He quickly went to Qiao Mei’s room and asked warily.

“I’m not sure. Let’s take a look first,” Qiao Mei said as she picked up the coat next to the bed and put it on.

“You can’t go! We don’t know how many people there are outside and the bodyguards are not here. If there’s a conflict, we won’t be able to fight back at all. Furthermore, we’re on the 10th floor! We’ll fall to our deaths if we jump down! Let’s contact the bodyguards and ask them to come over first,” Xia He said. Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

Xia Zhe had bought this house because it was located in an exclusive neighborhood and the main draw was the strict security checks. One had to bring a card to enter and exit the neighborhood. This was to ensure that the people entering and exiting the property were all residents.

“Then you should at least have a search warrant!” Xia He said.

When the police chief heard what Xia He said, he smiled mockingly. Since when did they need any search warrant to do anything? In Sky City, they could do whatever they wanted. No matter where they wanted to conduct a search, the people there had to cooperate fully. If anyone resisted, it would be

considered an assault on a police officer. That was a very serious offense.

There was an old gentleman standing behind the police chief. He was dressed up very nicely, but he did not look like a rich man. Instead, he looked more like the butler of a rich man.

The butler looked at Qiao Mei with a genial expression. Qiao Mei vaguely remembered that this person was the one standing next to Zhang Cheng during the auction. His name seemed to be Zhang Ping.

“You said you received a report. Can you show me the evidence?” Qiao Mei asked.

“The person who reported it sent the letter anonymously. We’re just following our normal procedure. You have no right to ask about our internal process,” the police chief said.

“Nonsense! There is no man in our house!” Xia He said agitatedly.

Qiao Mei hurriedly stopped Xia He from talking and stared intently at Zhang Ping. It seemed that she had underestimated her enemy this time. She had thought that the Zhang family would retreat in the face of difficulties and would come and invite her to Zhang Chengs villa to discuss the issue of the jewelry.
