"We received a report from the public that Mr. He Hanlong is involved in fraud. Please come with us." Two law enforcement officers grabbed Mr. He's arms on either side and showed him their identification.
"How...how could this be! I didn't do that! If you don't believe me...you can ask Mr. Xu!" Mr. He turned to Xu An in a panic, as if grasping at a straw, his eyes filled with pleading: "Mr. Xu, please say something for me, I'm not a liar, not a fraudster!"
Xu An's lips curled slightly into a standard smile. He slowly raised his right hand to his chest, waved gently to Mr. He, and silently uttered, "Goodbye, Mr. He Hanlong!"
"It was you!" Mr. He stared at Xu An's actions, his eyes bloodshot and his snow-white eyeballs filled with rage. "You bastard, you reported me! You bastard, you went back on your word! I'm not doing business with you anymore! Let me go! He's making a false accusation! This is all a frame-up! I'm not a fraudster!"
Mr. He's increasingly loud voice drew the attention of everyone inside and outside the Haishi Real Estate Center. The two law enforcement officers remained unmoved and resolutely shoved the struggling Mr. He into the law enforcement vehicle. They turned to Xu An and said, "Mr. Xu, please come with us to make a record and register."
Xu An nodded without hesitation, calmly stepped into the law enforcement vehicle, and smiled again at Mr. He, who was glaring at him.
This time, it was a universally recognized friendly and kind smile that showed eight teeth.
The law enforcement hall was quite lively today, especially when two law enforcement officers escorted Mr. He into the hall, a large crowd immediately surged forward.
"He Hanlong, you filthy bastard who gave birth to a child without an anus! We're brothers, brothers! You actually lied to your own brother, you're a real piece of trash! I should have let you starve to death back then! I should have let you starve to death!"
"He Hanlong, you *****, I'll ***** you *****! You son of a bitch, ********!"
"......"
The group that surrounded him consisted of six victims from three properties. But it wasn't just these six families; their relatives were also present, attacking Mr. He with the most vicious, offensive, and vulgar language.
Mr. He, who was not particularly assertive to begin with, trembled violently at the sight of this situation, and his body went limp. He only managed to avoid turning into a pile of mud on the ground thanks to the support of two law enforcement officers.
"This is law enforcement. Please control your emotions and follow the procedures to submit relevant evidence and make your statements!"
The two law enforcement officers, whose path was blocked, shouted at the crowd in desperation, but their shouts did not calm the crowd's anger; instead, they became even more agitated.
"I have evidence! I have a signed receipt for the deposit! I have a contract! I even have audio recording evidence!"
"Me too! Me too!"
"......"
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the screen of one of the voice recorders suddenly lit up, and Mr. He's voice entered everyone's ears.
"...Yes, yes, yes, I'll definitely reserve this house for you. I've already taken the deposit, how could I lie! The sofa, TV cabinet, and even the refrigerator—all the big items inside—will be yours for free... Oh dear, young man, how can you be so distrustful? I, He Hanlong, keep my word. This house, 1203 in Azure Ocean Garden, will absolutely be sold to your aunt, Ms. Ji Qiaomei..."
As Mr. He's voice came through the recorder, the scene became even more chaotic.
Two family members broke through the law enforcement officers' cordon and began tearing at He Hanlong's body with their bare hands. Completely unable to resist, Mr. He's round, full face was immediately covered in four bloody welts...
With the assistance of a law enforcement officer, Xu An entered the room to give a statement. At the end of the statement, Xu An asked, "I just completed a transaction with Mr. He and registered it at the Haishi Real Estate Center. Could you please tell me about this transaction...?"
"It's hard to say, but as long as it doesn't involve fraud, it shouldn't be a big problem." After giving Xu An an ambiguous answer, the law enforcement officer escorted Xu An out of the law enforcement building.
Outside the building, Lin Xuyang, Uncle Dongliang, and Uncle Dongliang's two brothers were waiting at the door. The moment they saw Xu An come out, they immediately came up to him and asked in unison, "How did it go?"
"The target is in custody, the rest shouldn't be a problem." Xu An returned the three men's victorious smiles.
If Mr. He hadn't been so greedy, wanting to buy up three shops at once and constantly lowering the price, Xu An wouldn't have become suspicious, wouldn't have asked Uncle Dongliang to investigate him, wouldn't have discovered his monstrous lie, and wouldn't have been able to so easily acquire a shop worth over 1.7 million for only 1.3 million...
Xu An glanced back at Mr. He, who was being helped into the interrogation room by two law enforcement officers like a rag doll, and mouthed the words "thank you" to him one last time.
