In the blink of an eye, Pan Qiuxiang's face was completely covered, leaving only her eyes exposed.

Pan Qiuxiang's eyes were filled with an undisguised terror, yet she remained kneeling on the ground. After all, she was just a woman, and she couldn't stop trembling all over.

"Thank you, Master, thank you!" Pan Qiuxiang said, not daring to touch her own face.

This process lasted for more than ten minutes.

The insects on Pan Qiuxiang's face began to fall off as if they had died, slowly dropping into the foot basin.

"Pour out the footwash water, and then go to the bathroom to check your face," the middle-aged man said, drying his feet on Pan Qiuxiang, then reclining on the sofa to watch TV.

Pan Qiuxiang stood stunned, as if she had thought of something. She quickly picked up the footwash water and rushed into the bathroom.

"Ah...! How is this possible?"

Almost as soon as she entered the bathroom, Pan Qiuxiang screamed.

A moment later, Pan Qiuxiang ran back to the living room, knelt before the middle-aged man: "Thank you, Master, thank you for your gift."

Although Pan Qiuxiang still retained her charm, after all, she was getting older, and there were inevitably small wrinkles, especially at the corners of her eyes.

Under the effect of makeup, these wrinkles might be hard to see, but upon closer inspection, she couldn't possibly compare to a woman in her twenties.

But now, there was not a single wrinkle on Pan Qiuxiang's face. It was radiant, tender, and as soft as a baby's skin, giving an impression of being full of collagen.

"As long as you obediently listen, this is what you deserve." The middle-aged man smiled faintly.

Pan Qiuxiang lowered her head and responded with a soft hum, looking at the middle-aged man longingly, as if she wanted to merge herself into his body.

The middle-aged man naturally understood Pan Qiuxiang's intentions and waved his hand: "My brother-in-law is coming soon, and besides, I'm not in the mood today."

"Oh," Pan Qiuxiang responded with some disappointment.

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

The middle-aged man gestured for Pan Qiuxiang to open the door.

Pan Qiuxiang quickly responded and ran barefoot to open the door.

As soon as she opened the door, Pan Qiuxiang was stunned to see the person standing there: "It's you?"

Not only was Pan Qiuxiang surprised, but Xie Fang also found it rather odd.

"Aren't you the woman who went to the Phoenix Pavilion sales center yesterday?" Xie Fang looked Pan Qiuxiang up and down, his gaze filled with greed.

Although Pan Qiuxiang's skin had become delicate, her appearance hadn't changed. Especially in the thin clothes she was wearing, she had almost no resistance to men.

Xie Fang couldn't understand why this woman would be here.

Pan Qiuxiang hadn't expected to meet Xie Fang here either.

When competing for the Phoenix Pavilion villa with Ye Guichen yesterday, Pan Qiuxiang had seen Xie Fang and knew he was the manager of the Phoenix Pavilion sales center, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for my brother-in-law," Xie Fang replied.

"Your brother-in-law?" Pan Qiuxiang was shocked: "You are Mr. Zhu's brother-in-law?"

"Yes." Xie Fang became increasingly curious: "Why are you here?"

"Oh, please come in," Pan Qiuxiang didn't answer, quickly letting him into the villa.

Although filled with doubts, Xie Fang didn't ask more questions. After entering the villa, he immediately noticed the middle-aged man reclining on the sofa.

"Hey, brother-in-law," Xie Fang's face immediately broke into a smile.

Initially, Xie Fang was just a loafer, but since his sister married this man, Xie Fang's life had undergone a tremendous change.

Not only did Xie Fang become a contractor, but after completing several projects, he now found himself as the manager of Jinling Yongchang Real Estate, responsible for the sales of new developments.

The position was not only prestigious but also lucrative.

Over the past two years, Xie Fang had successfully indulged himself to the point of resembling a pig and enjoyed luxuries most ordinary people couldn't imagine.

Thus, his gratitude towards this man was genuinely heartfelt.

"You've arrived," the middle-aged man just nodded slightly, glancing at the adjacent sofa: "Have a seat."

Xie Fang, somewhat nervous, perched on the edge of the sofa.

Soon, Pan Qiuxiang came over with tea, knelt in front of the coffee table, and placed a cup of tea before Xie Fang: "Please have some tea."

Xie Fang's eyes nearly popped out.

In fact, Xie Fang's sister died not long after marrying his brother-in-law, allegedly due to sudden cardiac arrest.

His brother-in-law did not pursue the matter, and Xie Fang didn't ask much.

Over the years, Xie Fang knew his brother-in-law had women outside, probably quite a few, but he had never married again, which seemed decent enough to him.

But now, seeing Pan Qiuxiang kneeling like a servant was shocking.

Too tempting.

This maid-like scenario seemed like something only seen on TV.

Brother-in-law really knows how to play!

Inwardly, Xie Fang sighed, his gaze greedily sweeping over Pan Qiuxiang before quickly turning to the middle-aged man: "Brother-in-law, there was another death last night at the artificial lake in Phoenix Pavilion. About that…"

"What about it?" Before Xie Fang could finish, the middle-aged man already sat up, took a sip of tea, and looked at Xie Fang with a kind, yet meaningful smile: "Xiao Fang, it's been five or six years since we first met, right? Since your sister married me, your life has turned around completely. Five years ago, I asked you to bury that coffin in the deepest part of the lake, you might not have known my intention, but you did it without question. You made me satisfied, proving you're an obedient brother-in-law, which is why you've risen step by step over the years. The situation now is still the same as it was back then, do you understand?"

Xie Fang froze, then quickly nodded: "Understood, brother-in-law, I fully understand. Haha, I've already handled it, saying the person accidentally fell into the lake. But there's one thing I feel uneasy about telling you."

The middle-aged man nodded slightly: "Go ahead."

Xie Fang collected his thoughts, glanced sneakily at Pan Qiuxiang and swallowed greedily seeing her kneeling quietly beside, knowing his brother-in-law didn't mind her presence. He then said: "Brother-in-law, the new resident in Unit 1 at Phoenix Pavilion is named Ye Guichen. He seems to know about the coffin. Today he even hinted that he might make a big deal out of it. Also, the person who died last night didn't accidentally fall into the lake; Ye Guichen was there too. This matter seems a bit tricky."

The middle-aged man sneered: "What's tricky about it? Haha, Xiao Fang, you're not young anymore. It's just a resident, if you can get him to shut up with acceptable terms, that's best, if he insists on poking around, make him shut up forever. It's simple."
