"Alas!" Peng Sen put on a melancholy look and let out a long sigh. "At first, the building materials they sent were all of good quality, so I renewed the contract. Who could have known that the materials they sent later were all defective? I hadn't paid attention to this matter, but that brat Meng Qingyan investigated it. Several of my capable assistants have all been detained by him, and I don't even know if they are dead or alive right now! Moreover, I found out that the brat is currently looking into your affairs. You may not know, but I certainly know the kind of ruthless methods Meng Qingyan uses! With Xiaoyi protecting me, I'll probably be fine most of the time, but it's hard to say for you and your wife!" Peng Sen intentionally mixed half-truths with falsehoods, solely to make Luo Ming believe him.
The truth was that the contract he signed was indeed for inferior building materials, and the price difference had all gone straight into his own pocket—though he had given a small portion of it to Luo Ming as a reward for the introduction.
Meanwhile, Meng Qingyan had indeed been searching for Luo Ming, but for some reason, Meng Qingyan's side had suddenly gone silent, which was what gave Peng Sen this opportunity.
