Meanwhile, at the Yanshui Road police station near the residential area, officer Xiao Liu looked up casually and was instantly stunned. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
"Master, Master, look!"
The older officer by his side also looked up and was shocked. A large group of people was marching in; what was this all about?
"You go notify the leadership and call others over. I'll go up and ask what's going on!"
No sooner had the older officer spoken than he prepared to step forward, but the group stopped after walking into the courtyard.
Then, one of them, carrying a huge handbag, walked in, while the others waited outside.
What was this situation?
The veteran officer, serving as a policeman for many years, had never encountered such a thing.
However, he saw the man with the handbag walk in, a smile on his face: "Comrade, hello, eh, we've met before, right next door in that residential area. My name is Tang..."
In his previous life, he had dealt with government departments many times, such as in situations with many people, where it's best to elect a representative, as leaders couldn't possibly listen to everyone all at once.
Others didn't want to be that representative, so Old Tang didn't mind.
Xiao Liu was young with a good memory and quickly said, "Oh right, you are Lawyer Tang, what's the situation here with you guys?"
Hearing this, Old Tang set down his handbag, pulling out documents while saying, "We are here to file a report today. It involves quite a few people, and everyone wants to know what's happening, so they've followed along..."
Having outlined the general situation, the older officer relaxed.
"These are their identity cards and the related evidence."
As the older officer began to look through the materials, he started to feel the same as Old Ge initially did.
Are you sure you're just here to file a report?
Evidence combined with legal basis, this is already a complete chain of evidence!
Moreover, the amounts defrauded from each individual family were not that high, but summed together, the total was frightening.
After browsing the materials for a while, Xiao Liu spoke up, "But was it necessary for so many people to come?"
Hearing this, Old Tang replied with a gentle smile, "Well... it's mainly because we had owners and tenants report to the police before. Maybe... ah, maybe because the amounts were insufficient, the case wasn't accepted here..."
The older officer waved his hand and said, "All right, I'll report this up now. It should be able to be filed."
"All right, all right, then I'll have them go back. I'll wait here for the result," Old Tang still smiled gently, as if he hadn't quite grasped the other's words.
Anyway, Old Ge would receive feedback soon after filing his report.
After notifying the people outside, most of them left, with just a few still waiting.
Not too long afterward, maybe just over an hour, a station leader came out.
"You must be Lawyer Tang, sorry for the wait. I was tied up with something just now, but after reviewing the case, we've decided to file it. Xiao Liu, give the materials to Lawyer Tang."
With the criminal filing notification in hand, Old Tang left the police station and, seeing the few remaining people outside, announced cheerfully, "It's all set. Now we just wait for the police investigation. With such a large sum involved in the fraud, those sublandlords are in for trouble."
Regardless, after the case was filed, the police were more capable of tracking down people than ordinary citizens, and even if the money was already spent, getting the perpetrators sent to prison was still comforting.
Time quickly moved to the next day. Old Tang arrived at the law firm as usual. While staring face to face with the security guard, his phone rang.
"Old Yu, oh, you're going to protest today? Alright, I'm on my way!"
The reason for getting involved in the protest was mainly to communicate with other homeowners, hoping to get more to join the lawsuit, which would be best.
Having packed the previously prepared materials into his handbag, Old Tang went downstairs, hopped on his electric scooter, and headed straight for Kaixuan Street!
But as soon as he parked his scooter, he heard bursts of arguing nearby.
Hurrying over, he saw a clear division at the entrance of Yide Company: homeowners were gathered outside, clustered in small groups, while a line of security guards stood at the company's entrance.
Glancing aside, Old Tang saw that Yu Jianshe had already arrived and approached him to ask, "Why are there so many security guards today?"
Yu Jianshe turned and, upon seeing Lawyer Tang, said with a bitter smile, "Today is actually a light day. Lawyer Tang, you should have seen it before; they had more security guards than us protesting homeowners at one point."
Old Tang reflected on his words. A company couldn't possibly have that many security guards, but they'd rather hire guards than invest money into unfinished buildings.
It was very likely that the shortfall on the latter was just too great...
On hearing the name Lawyer Tang, the people around Old Yu all turned their attention, with one person speaking up, "Old Yu, is this the Lawyer Tang you mentioned before?"
"Yes, that's Lawyer Tang, he's here today to understand our situation," responded Yu Jianshe.
The homeowners began to share, one after another, pleased that a lawyer took the initiative to understand their plight. exclusive-to-MvLeMpYr
Old Tang gestured towards the inside and asked, "Who's arguing inside there?"
One of the homeowners detailed, "That lady is one of us protesting. Her situation's really bad. It seems like the bank has sued her for defaulting, and now the court's ruled she's in breach of contract. She's got to pay back the loan and litigation fees; it's a lot of money, and she's about to break down."
"That man called Wang is the company's vice president. I heard he used to be a thug, and he's got a really bad temper."
"I'm warning you, if you keep screaming, we'll call the police, and what does you being sued by the bank for money have to do with us?"
"What now? Did we force you to buy the house?" President Wang shouted, and despite his advancing age, he still looked ferocious.
