"Let's sit down before we have our conversation." The Manager ignored his greetings and spoke in a cold voice.

Yuan sighed inwardly. He expected this would happen, and he didn't blame the Manager for being mad at him for the mess he'd caused.

Yuan led the Manager to another room shortly after.

However, when the others tried to enter the room with them, the Manager stopped them and said, "I only need to speak with him."

"..."

"Can you guys wait for me outside?" Yuan said to them with a bittersweet smile.

"G-Good luck…" Wang Ming said to him before leaving them alone.

Wang Ming then went to notify the other members of the Manager's arrival.

"She's really here, huh? Do you think she's going to evict us?"

"Who knows. Maybe Yuan will be able to persuade her somehow."

"Let's play a game and guess the result."

While the others played their guessing game, Yuan sat in front of the Manager with a nervous look on his face.

He didn't feel this nervous even when facing the Chu Family, but before this Manager, he was completely different.

"I will be asking you a few questions now. You will answer them with either 'did' or 'did not'. I don't want to hear anything else— not even your explanation. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

The Manager retrieved a long piece of paper and proceeded to ask, "Did you or did you not enter the Chu Family's territory without permission today?"
