In the end, they both exited at the same time as the heavens suddenly opened up, releasing a torrential downpour less than ten minutes later.

This residential area was large and featured a spacious parking garage. Therefore, many residents parked their cars there, including Xavier.

He wanted to drive the car right where Winnie was to keep her from getting drenched in the rain.

Unbeknownst to him, a flower pot came sailing from above as soon as he stepped outside to get his car.

She shrieked a warning when she noticed it almost landed on Xavier’s head.

He wasn’t carrying an umbrella, so he immediately took a step backward when he heard her, narrowly escaping an accident. The flower pot landed on the ground and shattered into pieces.

He craned his neck to look up but saw nothing.

Winnie walked to his side with a frown. “You could have been gravely injured if you hadn’t dodged it. Every household has a semi-enclosed balcony, and some are fully shuttered. How could a flower pot fall? Did you offend someone recently?”

Xavier glanced at the mess on the ground, and his brows furrowed. “That will be too many to count, but those who intend to harm me…”

He trailed off and instinctively surveyed all the floors of Winnie’s block, remembering that Jacinta also lived here. He continued, “I don’t recall them residing in Aqua Moana. This is truly baffling.”

“Let’s look for property management. The perpetrator must either be one of the residents or a visitor. It may be hard to figure out which resident it was, but visitors will leave a trail.”

“Okay.” He nodded. “Get in the car.”

They arrived at the property management office shortly, and the staff pulled up the security tapes upon hearing their explanation.

No visitor had brought a flower pot up the stairs in the last three days, let alone this morning. Only the janitors would clean the corridors once every two days.
