Izzy stepped out of the car, immediately greeted by the sight of halted construction. The once–bany site was unnerving quiet. Heavy machinery stood still, stacks of materials were untouched, and workers lingered in small groups, speaking in

hushed tones.

Serena walked beside her, tapping on her tablet. “The inspectors are at the main structure,” she said, “It is already late but they’ve just already started reviewing the site conditions”

Izzy adjusted her blazer and headed toward the inspection team. Frederik, of course, followed, his steps unhurried as he surveyed the construction site like a spectator at an event.

As they approached, a man in a navy blue safety vest turned to greet them. He was middle–aged, with sharp features and an air of authority. His ID badge read Samuel Wong – Lead Inspector.

Samuel glanced between them before settling his gaze on Izzy. “Miss Rossi,” he said, offering a firm handshake.

Izzy shook his hand. “Mr. Wong, I assume you’re the one overseeing this inspection?”

Samuel nodded. “Correct. We received a formal request for a safety audit due to reported concerns”

Izzy folded her arms. “And what exactly are these concerns?”

Samuel pulled out a clipboard, flipping through his notes. “Structural stability, equipment maintenance, and labor safety compliance. Several complaints were filed, which triggered this review. He glanced at her. “Standard procedure when multiple concerns arise at once”

Izzy’s jaw tightened. “And who filed these complaints?”

Samuel hesitated before responding. “The labor union and two anonymous sources.”

Izzy exhaled slowly, keeping her expression neutral. Anonymous sources. Of course.

“Miss Rossi,” Samuel continued, “I understand that this is frustrating, but we need full cooperation. If we find any major violations, this project could face long–term delays.”

Izzy nodded. “I understand.”

Frederik let out a low whistle as he surveyed the stalled work. “Quite the situation you’ve got here, Izzy.”

She shot him a glance. “Why are you still here?”

Frederik smirked. “Well, I decided to see Mr. Lin. It has been so long since we’ve seen each other.”

Serena visibly tensed at the mention of the name. Izzy noticed but didn’t comment. Instead, she turned back to Samuel.
