Chapter 1009: A Huge Profit from a Show of Power (2)
The woman heard this and cast a suspicious glance at Mo Yan, asking in an unpleasant tone, "Who are you really? Without giving your names, I won’t go calling for anyone."
Mo Yan frowned deeply, saying impatiently, "Just go if I tell you to, why all the nonsense?"

This time, she hadn’t informed Zhao Dafu in advance of her visit; she wanted to see for herself the true state of the estate.
