Sun Youde's face bore a triumphant cold smile.
He waved his hand.
"Search it for me!"
The remaining four staff members rushed in at once, blocking the courtyard gate.
The dirt on their feet left striking footprints on the floor tiles, pristine enough to reflect one's image.
One of them even seemed to do it deliberately, grinding his heel forcefully on it.
The harsh sound of friction made one's teeth ache.
"What are you doing!"
Gu Lan's eyes were red from crying, spreading her arms to block them.
"This is our home; you can't do as you please!"
Sun Youde stepped forward, impatiently waving his hand.
He pushed Gu Lan aside with one shove.
"Get out of the way!"
"This is a routine check by the investigation team; anyone who dares to obstruct is interfering with official duties!"
Outside, Liu Meiqin, munching on sunflower seeds, shouted gleefully:
"Did you hear that? Don't be ignorant!"
"Search! Search thoroughly! Find whatever they're hiding!"
