At half past one, the middle-aged man who had agreed to do a deal with Mr. Bai arrived on time, followed by his other three friends.

They were satisfied with the house. Boss Bai was in a hurry to sell it for money. The price had been agreed upon before, and the furniture in the house had not been moved. This group of people sincerely wanted to buy the house. They looked carefully up and down the stairs, and then got down to business.

"What? You don't have a property deed?"

Just as they were about to pay, the buyer asked him to produce the property certificate. After paying the money, they would go to the Housing Management Office together to complete the formalities. However, Bai Lao Da and Li Cuihua had never heard of any property certificate and could not produce it.

"Hey man, this apartment belongs to my brother. He is in the hospital now. He is seriously injured and in urgent need of money for his life-saving treatment. That's why he asked us to help him sell this apartment."

"He has the property certificate for this house. After you pay the money, I'll take you to the hospital to get the certificate from him, and then we'll go through the paperwork together."

At the critical moment, Boss Bai's brains were quick, and he quickly pulled Bai Jianren out as a shield. In order to prevent them from getting suspicious, he explained: "This house is not ours. We are just helping him sell it. He has to go through the subsequent procedures with you, and he has to sign and get the certificate."

The buyer thought so too and was about to speak when there was a knock on the door outside the yard.

"Who is this?"

Boss Bai and Li Cuihua's hearts skipped a beat, their faces changed drastically, and they panicked for a moment.

"Someone is coming, go open the door."

The buyer saw that their faces looked a little strange and they were still sitting there, so he immediately stood up and asked, "Are you hiding something from us?"

"No, no." Li Cuihua jumped up in panic.

She said no, but her expression betrayed her. The buyer's face changed immediately: "Are you kidding us? Are you playing tricks on us?"

"No, no, man, nothing of the kind."

Boss Bai was calmer than Li Cuihua and quickly lied to appease them: "To be honest, my brother got into trouble outside and was beaten up. This time, it might be someone looking for trouble again."

"So, your family has a lot of troubles. Then we don't want this house." The friend behind the buyer spoke.

"Yes, we just want to buy an apartment to live in and don't want to get involved in any mess." The other one also disagreed to buy it.

“Knock, knock… knock, knock…”

The police officer outside continued to knock on the door and called out to the inside: "Bai Jianlin, Li Cuihua, come out and open the door."

Boss Bai and the other man were familiar with the man's voice. He was the police officer who had contacted them yesterday to verify the situation. The two were panicked just now, but at this moment, they turned pale with fear because of their guilty conscience.

The buyer knew the names of these two people. When they saw that the visitor was looking for them and not his brother, they were still very scared. It was obvious that he had something to hide.

"Walk."

The four of them stood up and left together.

Boss Bai really wanted to call out to them, but the public security comrades were outside, so he didn't dare to speak. He now regretted setting the time at 1:30. He should have set it half an hour earlier.

The four big men came out together and saw that the person standing outside was wearing a police uniform. Their brows frowned almost at the same time.

The two public security comrades came here on orders. When they saw them, they asked in a formal manner: "Who are you? What are you doing at Bai Jianren's house? What is your relationship with him?"

"Comrade Public Security, we don't know Bai Jianren. The owner's brother and sister-in-law said they wanted to sell the house, so we came to look at it."

"Selling a house?"

The public security officer's face froze. Seeing that the Bai family had reached the door and dared not come out, he shouted, "Bai Jianlin, Li Cuihua, this house is registered under Bai Jianren's name. He did not authorize you to sell it. He is currently under investigation and supervision for a crime. Your act of secretly selling the house is illegal."

"What?"

The buyer was furious on the spot, pointing at the couple who were cowering at the door, afraid to come over: "You two actually tricked us, do you want to go to jail?"

"No, no, the second brother told us yesterday that he wanted to sell this house." Boss Bai quickly pushed everything onto Bai Jianren.

Li Cuihua had never done such a thing before. In fact, she was so scared that her legs were weak. But she thought that if she didn't explain the matter clearly and send the police away, their lives would be over.

So, he summoned all his wisdom and hurriedly explained, "Comrade Public Security, my second son can't speak right now. He wrote to us yesterday and told us so. He's in the hospital now, and we have to pay a huge amount of medical bills every day. The Qin family didn't come to renew the bills, and we can't afford the medical expenses anymore, so we had to sell this house."

"This apartment is currently under Bai Jianren's name, but he did something bad and harmed someone. The apartment has been confiscated. You have no right to deal with it."

The public security officer immediately thwarted their evil plans and told the buyer, "If you like this house and really want to buy it, go directly to the Housing Authority. The documents and proof of ownership have already been transferred to the Housing Authority. You can go directly to the staff to handle it, without going through these two people."

"Okay, okay, thank you both comrades."

The buyer had already guessed that the couple were ruthless and wanted to cheat him out of money. They took advantage of him and complained before leaving: "Comrades, these two people have bad intentions. I suspect his brother didn't ask him to sell the house at all. He sold it secretly and cheated him out of money."

"We will investigate." The public security comrade replied.

The four of them left, and the duck that had been in hand flew away. Mr. Bai was so angry that his stomach hurt. He was blaming the two policemen in his heart for ruining his plan, but he didn't dare to say a word.

As for the fact that they had secretly sold the house and it was illegal, they refused to admit it. The couple started throwing tantrums and crying like they would in the countryside. In the end, the police took their keys back and kicked them out.

Not only did his plan not work out, but he was also reported to the Public Security Bureau. Boss Bai was so angry that he lost his temper on the spot.

Li Cuihua had just started crying, making a scene, and then hanging herself. Dust rolled all over the floor, making her so dirty that she was unbearable to look at. She had no eyes, but she still leaned over and asked, "What should we do now?"

"How should I know what to do? You have a pig brain, can't you think for yourself?"

Boss Bai just couldn't find a vent for his anger, so she came up to him and he vented his anger on her.

"Bai Jianlin, why are you so angry at me? It wasn't me who called the police."

Li Cuihua was scolded by him and lost her temper, and started roaring at him.

The two men cursed at each other on the road and missed the bus back to Yang County this afternoon. They couldn't enter Bai Jianren's house and the hospital didn't allow visitors. They had no choice but to wander around the street with a lot of anger, planning to take the bus back tomorrow.
