The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

Chapter 1628 - 1631: The Mysterious Workplace

Upon hearing Qin Yao's words, Xu Hao was momentarily at a loss for words, "Xiao Yao, I've noticed you're becoming more and more violent these days!"

"Tch! I'm learning this from you. I've increasingly realized that talking to many people is useless, as they only think they are right. So, at times, violence is the best solution," Qin Yao coquettishly replied.

"But sometimes using violence recklessly makes things more complicated."

Xu Hao tapped her on the head, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile, "I get it. This is where Kavendi wants to disgust me. It's not lethal, but certainly disgusting. He must have hidden these documents first, then instructed them to verbally attack me from behind. But they do need to be paid. We're being scolded but still have to pay them. Obviously, this is quite unpleasant."

"This... this is just disgusting. Intentionally hiding some people's documents, though these people used to get their pay directly from the headquarters in America, they are in Modu now, and both emotionally and logically, we need to pay them back," Qin Yao said, extremely frustrated.

"Business is like a battlefield with too many intrigues, but first, I need to check what exactly these people are doing, and why they're so special that they require direct payment from the Tio Group's American headquarters," Xu Hao said, somewhat puzzled.

There were too many suspicious points here, and Xu Hao was very sure these people were absolutely not to be exposed back then.

The Moon Goddess Successor suddenly said, "What they're doing must be shady. Do you think Kavendi, when leaving, wouldn't destroy all the evidence?"

"You have a point, but perhaps we can still get something out of these people. Even if we can't find evidence of their wrongdoing with the Tio Group, we might still gain some insight."

Xu Hao made a quick decision, immediately having the people outside brought into the conference room.

Xu Hao looked down at them and said calmly, "Tell me, where did you work previously?"

No one among the crowd below opened their mouths, as if they were all under a gag order.

"I know you don't want to speak, but don't forget, I can use force to make you talk. If it comes to that, I don't know if you can withstand it. I believe you know my abilities. With you ordinary people, I don't need to exert much effort," Xu Hao continued.

When they heard what Xu Hao said, quite a few of them suddenly felt scared.

Someone immediately said, "Chairman Xu, of course, we know of your reputation and the things you've done. We're also very scared of you, but we honestly know nothing about our own affairs. The places where we went to work, we were taken there by others, and never knew where we were going!"

"You have no impression at all?" Xu Hao continued to ask.

"Truly no impression at all. Our salaries were regularly deposited into our cards each month, but we were provided with food and lodging, so we didn't spend much money. The only downside was we couldn't leave," another person added.

"I see, the places you worked at were completely closed off, so you couldn't interact with people outside."

Xu Hao pondered a bit and asked, "Then, what work were you doing there?"

"No idea, we were just lying there all the time, and except for eating and playing, we remember nothing else," someone said.

Xu Hao was observing each person closely. If anyone lied, Xu Hao could spot it immediately, but no one was lying.

Everything they said was true!

"Then, let me ask one last question. You came to me for your wages, but why did you start by insulting me?" Xu Hao asked coldly.

"That was because... because someone told us that only by doing so could we get our money!" a relatively young person hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Someone told you that? Who was it?"

Xu Hao's gaze swept over everyone, but he was somewhat disappointed to find that this person was definitely not among them.

Sure enough, the person they mentioned wasn't among these people.

The Moon Goddess Successor said dismissively, "Although Kavendi isn't very smart, he wouldn't be so foolish as to reveal these things to you. Since he dared to let these people come and annoy you, he must have eliminated all possible factors."

Xu Hao snorted coldly, "That may not be certain. Since something was done, there must be evidence left behind. I don't believe he can erase all traces. Pay these people what they're owed, and have someone keep a close eye on them to see what they might do afterward. I have a hunch these people are connected to a significant secret!"

"Tch! I don't believe it at all. Kavendi isn't that dumb. If these people were connected to a significant secret, he wouldn't have let them out," the Moon Goddess Successor said disdainfully.
