Longman couldn't take the time to reprimand his subordinates and hastily turned around, covering the firefighter's mouth, preventing him from continuing.
"Nothing happened, there was no incident."
Longman was truly frightened, hastily taking the IOU from the firefighter's hand.
Sure enough, it was the IOU from the Jones Family, though one corner was burnt, its content was still clearly visible, even the fingerprint from Old Madam Jones was still on it.
Hisss!
Seeing this IOU, Longman couldn't help but draw a breath of cold air.
"Mr. Longman, is this our Jones Family's..." Sherry began to speak but stopped when she saw Longman stuffing something into his mouth while his back was turned to her.
In a while, Longman turned around, his mouth bulging as if he had stuffed two eggs in it.
"No worries, no, they got it wrong..." Longman mumbled, still chewing.
This...
Observing Longman's behavior, Sherry, couldn't help but feel concerned for him.
