The person who came in was Section Chief Chu’s superior, Wei Huai.
As soon as Wei Huai entered, Section Chief Chu went up to him. However, Wei Huai acted as if he did not see Section Chief Chu and walked straight to Xia Mao.
“You must be Comrade Xia Mao,” Wei Huai said with a smile.
Xia Mao nodded and did not say anything. Wei Huai did not mind that Xia Mao did not exchange pleasantries with him. After all, no one would be in a good mood after someone caused their house to be in such a state.
“I’ll take him away now. Your family is one of the pillars of the country and can’t be holding on to any restricted items. This is all a misunderstanding.” After saying that, Wei Huai waved his hand and prepared to leave with his staff.
Xia Mao shouted, “Wait!”

“Who are you?” Xia Mao asked Wei Huai.
“I forgot to introduce myself to you. I’m Wei Huai, his superior,” Wei Huai said.
“You have to finish what you started. You can’t give up halfway, right? Your subordinates brought people to search my son’s house and said that there were restricted items inside. Did you find anything?” Xia Mao asked.
Wei Huai glanced at Section Chief Chu, who immediately understood and stepped forward to say, “There are still many rooms that we haven’t searched. We still can’t say that there is nothing here.”
He had already taken a look at the furniture in the house, but just because there was nothing suspicious about the furnishings did not mean that there was nothing buried under the floor tiles.
“That’s fine. We have plenty of time. Section Chief Chu, hurry up and search. You have to give our Xia family a conclusion today,” Xia Mao said as he pointed at the rooms.
“Xia Wen, go and open the main door. Let the neighbors passing by take a look and bear witness for us,” Xia Mao said to Xia Wen with his hands behind his back.
Xia Wen ran to open the main door. Many passersby stood at the door and watched. The Cao family’s house had collapsed last night and the Xia family’s house was being searched today. They definitely did not want to miss such a thing and had come to take a look.
“Everyone, come in and take a look!” Xia Wen said.
Many of the people outside knew the Xia family. They had all come to take a closer look and Zhou Sheng also rushed over early in the morning.
“Xiao Zhe, how’s Mei Mei?” Zhou Sheng hobbled in with his walking stick.
When Xia Zhe saw that, he hurriedly went forward to render assistance and said, “Grandpa Zhou, why are you here? Qiao Mei is fine, she’s in the room.”
Zhou Sheng was relieved to hear that Qiao Mei was fine. Since Xia Zhe was still here and looking well, he must be fine too. Zhou Sheng slowly walked up to Xia Mao.

Xia Mao lowered his head and said gently, “Uncle Zhou, it’s fine. They have two experts here. Even if they’re digging for something, there’s also no need to dig up every inch of the ground.”
Zhou Sheng snorted. “Hmph, experts? Yet the groundwater has been dug out and the entire courtyard is flooded.”
“Grandpa Zhou, if you’re worried, I’ll ask a few more experts to come over. They’re all teachers from my school,” Xia Wen said.
Zhou Sheng smiled and nodded. “Yes, yes, yes. Xiao Wen is an expert as well. The people you find would definitely be right for the job.”
Not long after, seven to eight experts arrived outside the door. Xia Wen had already sent them a message earlier, asking them to come by. This was to prevent the inspection team from spouting nonsense that people could not understand.
In the past, people did not pay much attention to education and they all looked down on teachers. Even if they had children, they would let the children come out to work at an early age. Even though there were prominent families who saw the value in education, they were still in the minority.
If those two experts from the inspection team really went around spouting nonsense to the neighbors, the Xia family would not be able to clear their name even if they wanted to.
“Let the experts work together! These are all professors from the university. You can all go and investigate, but hurry up! You have to give our family an explanation today. Don’t let others think that our family is doing anything wrong,” Xia Mao said to Wei Huai.
Today, they must reach a conclusion in order to settle the matter and convince everyone. Otherwise, there would definitely be other people who would use this as an excuse to cause trouble in the future. Firstly, it was to prevent the people in front of them, as well as outside, from eyeing the Xia family. Secondly, it was to stop certain Xia family members behind him from eyeing anything in this courtyard.
