"Are you the landlord?"
The police officer gave Granny Cao a strange look, then looked at Wu Changfeng.
Grandma Cao said matter-of-factly, "Yes, I am the landlady!"
"Then who is he?" the police officer asked, pointing at Wu Changfeng.
Grandma Cao snorted: "Him? He was the landlord before. I'm the landlord now."
The police officer was a little confused.
He turned to Wu Changfeng and said, "What does this mean? You sold this compound, and now you're denying the deal?"
Wu Changfeng was both amused and exasperated, but before he could say anything...
Grandma Cao said, "Officer, you're confused! This compound didn't originally belong to him; it was entrusted to his family by the head of the Hu family."
"The head of the Hu family has long since fled to America to enjoy a life of luxury."
The officer asked, "Is that so?"
Wu Changfeng nodded: "That's true."
What are you doing... The property deed clearly has your name, Wu Changfeng, on it!
The police officer was confused by the twists and turns involved.
However, he felt that Wu Changfeng might not want to reveal his true worth.
He had heard that since the reforms, some people had used shady methods to embezzle a lot of property.
This led to a sharp increase in his net worth.
However, they remain very low-key in public.
The police officer believes that Wu Changfeng may be in this situation.
But this has nothing to do with him. Economic crimes are not within his jurisdiction, so someone else will deal with Wu Changfeng.
So the officer asked, "You yourselves, prove who the landlord really is!"
Wu Changfeng said, "I don't need to prove that these tenants were all hired by my family."
"Then prove it!" the police officer asked Mrs. Cao.
“Proof is proof!” said Mrs. Cao. “I called the head of the Hu family in America, and we had a very friendly discussion.”
"The head of the Hu family believed that Wu Changfeng was not suitable to manage the compound, so he asked me to take over. Wu Changfeng was thus removed from office, it was that simple."
The officer asked, "What evidence do you have? Just empty words won't do."
“I have the faxed authorization letter for safekeeping.”
The officer spread his hands: "Let me see it."
"I'm afraid you won't understand."
Whether I can understand it or not is my business.
Grandma Cao took out a piece of paper and handed it to the police officer, saying, "This is the authorization letter. It's written in black and white, very clearly, there's no need to argue."
The officer looked at it over and over for a while.
I must say, this authorization letter is very formal.
The wording was precise, granting the management rights of the compound to Cao's mother-in-law.
Although he had never seen such a document before.
But it seems fine.
It's logically consistent!
The officer turned to look at Wu Changfeng, patted the papers, and said, "What do you have to say? Did you make a false report?"
“Their documents clearly state that the management rights have been given to Granny Cao, so it’s none of your business here!”
Mrs. Cao was beaming with pride.
I knew you bunch of bumpkins couldn't tell it was fake.
With my low IQ, I'd weigh two more times than you on the scale!
What can you use to fight me?
Do you still want to offend me?
With you around, Wu Changfeng's family suffers!
You pretty boy, you're up to no good. I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!
Wu Changfeng took the document and said with a smile, "Officer, did you hear what Granny Cao said? It was faxed over by the Americans."
“Yes,” the officer said.
Then, Wu Changfeng pointed to the red stamp and handprint on it and said, "Is society developing too fast and I can't keep up with the times?"
"I've never heard of a fax being 'colored'!"
The officer's eyes widened suddenly, and he snatched the paper back to examine it.
Red stamps, red handprints...
Oh my god!
In a moment of carelessness, I completely forgot that faxes are only available in black and white!
This red stamp and handprint, are you kidding me?
It's obviously fake!
The police officer angrily questioned Mrs. Cao: "How do you explain this?!"
Grandma Cao was also dumbfounded.
All she knew about was the existence of fax machines.
But they had no idea that the thing was only black and white.
Doesn't this give us away?
The other tenants stared wide-eyed:
"Holy crap! This authorization letter is fake?"
"Hiss~~ I didn't even notice."
"Really? The fax machine only comes in black and white?"
"Linxi Coal Mine also has a fax machine. Now that you mention it, I've never seen a color one; they're all black and white."
"This old woman, Cao, is incredibly audacious! She dares to fabricate such a thing."
"That's not the point! If it's fake, what about the rent we've been paying her?"
"Holy crap! We've made a terrible mistake in choosing this person! We've been swindled by Granny Cao! Is there any chance we can get this money back?"
"Given Grandma Cao's personality, it's probably impossible to get the money back!"
"Don't panic, there are police officers here. We can file a report together!"
The scene was filled with chatter and noise.
No one expected that Granny Cao only had a minor conflict with Wu Changfeng's family.
They actually pulled off such a serious scam.
They've completely lost their minds!
Knowing she was in the wrong, Granny Cao still had a sudden inspiration: "Yes, it was the head of the Hu family who returned to the country and personally stamped and fingerprinted it for me!"
Cao's mother-in-law became assertive again.
Is that a valid reason?
What else can anyone say?
Can't they come in person?
Anyway, the head of the Hu family is far away in the United States. Can you go and question him in person?
Wu Changfeng snorted: "You'd better think it over. Everyone who enters the country is recorded. We can find out whether someone has come or not with just a check!"
