The Xia family was a family of soldiers and politicians after all. It was not a small matter to be accused of hiding restricted items. If the team did not manage to dig up anything and the Xia family asked about who had slandered them, Section Chief Chu would not be able to bear the consequences.
Their digging had already revealed a portion of the thick roots of the cherry tree. They all dug carefully and slowly, afraid that they would break any of the roots.
The Xia family members stared at them intently. If they damaged even one of the roots, no one would be allowed to leave today!
