Chapter 72 Taking the Wen Family Property
Under Hong Kong law, child trafficking is a serious crime. Under mainland Chinese law, child trafficking is generally punishable by three to ten years in prison. However, in Hong Kong, whether it is buying or trafficking children, once the crime is established, the offender may be imprisoned for life. Not to mention being an accomplice, once you are involved in these things, you will never be able to get away with it.
The Wen couple didn't expect their daughter to be so bad at reading people's expressions and to say such things, so they quickly apologized.
"Sir, I'm truly sorry. I apologize to you and Ming'en on behalf of my daughter. Our relationship with the Chen family is that of landlord and tenant. There really isn't any other relationship. It's just that this child is young and doesn't understand what's going on, so please don't take it personally."
Father Wen quickly bowed his head and apologized, while Mother Wen on the side had already pinched her daughter hard, but she said.
"Sir, we really don't know what the Chen family did. Even though they've been renting our house for so many years, everyone on this street knows that Chen Ming'en was brought back from the mainland. They said his parents didn't want him anymore, so they brought him back out of kindness. The surrounding shops all know this, so we really thought the Chen family had good intentions and were sincere about Ming'en. We didn't know he was a human trafficker..."
This was a very interesting statement. While making excuses for Wen Runrun, he also dragged everyone into it. Qin Lang ignored the apologies of the two and looked at his son.
"Son, are you willing to accept a gentle apology?"
Chen Ming'en, who was being questioned, had a cold expression on his face. He looked at Wen Runrun, who was grinning with her teeth bared as she was being pulled by Wen's mother, and said in a cold voice.
"I don't want to, and I don't acknowledge the Chen family's kindness in raising me, because I started doing housework at the age of five after I came to their house."
Chen Ming'en didn't want to reveal his suffering, but looking at Wen Runrun in front of him, he told everything with an expressionless face.
"Ever since Chen Jiarui was born, I've had to take care of all the Chen family's housework, including cooking, washing clothes, and mopping the floor. I was less than eight years old at the time, and I also had to take care of the Chen family's silly sister. Later, when I grew up, I had to help out at the fruit shop. I had to do everything at home and in the shop. I don't think I've received any love from the Chen couple. If you, Wen Ruanruan, think this is the grace of raising you, then I think you should experience it."
Many people who opened shops here knew this and couldn't help but speak up.
"Yes, Ming'en has been sensible since he was young. He is treated like a farmhand by the Chen family!"
"Besides, the Chen family is such a scoundrel. Ming'en has such good grades, but they still don't let him go to school. If Ming'en's teacher hadn't come to our house, I guess Ming'en wouldn't even be able to go to school..."
"The Chen family treats their own son very well, but treats Ming'en like a child laborer. The Chen couple are very unrefined. They wash their own underwear for the child, and they even beat people!"
Everyone around spoke up for Chen Ming'en, and received a grateful look from Chen Ming'en. However, after hearing the voices, the Wen couple looked around at everyone with an extremely fierce look, which made others dare not say anything. After all, Chen Ming'en was gone, and they still had to stay here to live. It was enough to be able to say these good words for Chen Ming'en.
Wen Runrun was looked at with reproachful eyes by everyone, as if she was a person who couldn't tell right from wrong. Her cheeks turned red and she was filled with shame, which made her suffer.
At this time, the police also came out to add fuel to the fire.
"Student Chen Ming'en, don't worry. Our police have already reached a cooperation agreement with the mainland police. After our initial detailed investigation, the mainland human traffickers have been apprehended. They confessed that you were abducted from the hospital by traffickers and then sold to a couple surnamed Chen from Hong Kong. After checking your entry and exit documents, we confirmed that it was Chen Bin and his wife who paid the traffickers to bring you to Hong Kong. So we will arrest them. Don't worry about that. We will bring the criminals to justice."
The police also felt sorry for the child. He could have enjoyed a rich life in the mainland, but after being brought to Hong Kong, he had to live a miserable life. It was really miserable.
Chen Bin was already handcuffed. When he heard the police say that they would arrest him and his wife together, he immediately lost his composure and burst into tears.
"Comrade police officer, I really didn't buy or sell a child. I found this child in the mainland. I have my own child, so how could I buy one?"
Chen Bin cried like this, a grown man with tears on his face, looking like he had suffered a great injustice. Wen Runrun started talking again.
"Yes, Chen Ming'en, Uncle Chen already had a child at the time. If he didn't have good intentions, why would he bring you back? So this matter must have been investigated incorrectly. Uncle Chen must not be a bad person."
Ah, this...
The police had explained everything clearly, but Wen Runrun denied the police's investigation with just one word. The policemen looked very upset. They wanted to let the girl go, but the girl refused to give them face!
How can the police say such things if they haven't done a thorough investigation? Wearing a police uniform means you have to be responsible for your words!!!
Chen Ming'en looked at Wen Runrun, who looked like she was standing by Chen Bin to the end, and then he spoke again.
"Yes, they do have a daughter, but that daughter is a fool, soft and gentle. Do you know that I have been taking care of the Chen family's daughter all this time? Do you know what they threatened me with? They said that when I grow up, I must marry the Chen family's daughter. Only in this way can I truly become a member of the Chen family. So tell me, why did he bring me to Hong Kong when he had a daughter?"
The cruel truth was before her. Wen Runrun didn't want to admit it, but she had to guess that the Chen couple had found Chen Ming'en in order to find a support for their daughter.
The people of the Qin family and the Wang family were even more angry at this time. Although they knew this from the investigation materials, they still felt extremely painful when they heard Chen Mingen say this in person.
Wen Runrun was unable to utter a word when she was questioned. The Wen couple were almost mad at their brainless daughter, so they hurriedly tried to save her face.
"Ming'en, we really don't know anything about you and the Chen family. The Chen couple acted very well to their daughter. We didn't know you were having a hard time. Besides, the neighbors have watched you grow up, and they haven't seen the Chen couple do anything to their daughter. How could we have thought too much, right? Don't worry, to prove my apology to you, I will have the Chen family move out immediately. I will definitely not let him continue to rent the house here."
Father Wen said this as if he was driving the Chen family away for Chen Mingen's sake. But it was obvious that if something happened and the Chen family went to jail, the house here would be empty.
He was just bullying the kid by relying on his age, so Qin Lang smiled at this moment, and looked even more handsome.
"I think Mr. Wen doesn't need to be so embarrassed. After all, Miss Wen likes the Chen couple so much that she wants to keep them. But it seems that there is no chance now. All the shops on Sheshui Street are mine, and I don't want the Chen family to stay here."
Qin Lang shook the information in his hand while speaking, which scared the Wen couple and they felt that his words were subtle.
After all, the houses on Sheshui Street all belong to the couple, and were inherited from their ancestors.
"What are you talking about! All the streets in Wading belong to me! Who are you to make decisions for my family?"
Wen Runrun was furious. No one listened to her. Her only hope was the street where her family lived. She thought that all the tenants had spoken up for Chen Mingen and not for her. It was absolutely despicable. She would ask her parents to raise the rent for them!!!
She was thinking so darkly in her heart, but Qin Lang said it at the same time.
"Comrade police officer, please help me look at this document. I bought all the properties on this Sheshui Street from Mr. Wen Congwen. Now I am the owner here."
The police knew who owned the flooded street, so they became even more curious. They took the information, opened it, and saw that it had really changed!
From the original owner Wen Congwen to the current Qin Lang.
Many of the onlookers were also a little surprised at this time, and then they heard the police officer say.
"Now all the properties on Sheshui Street belong to Mr. Qin Lang. Wen Congwen sold them to Mr. Qin Lang. The signature is here."
As soon as these words came out, everyone around was in an uproar, looking at Chen Mingen with different eyes. They were originally happy that Chen Mingen had found his family, but now they saw that Chen Mingen's father was so powerful that he directly bought an entire street from the Wen family. What a huge amount of money! Chen Mingen is a golden phoenix! He flew straight to the branch!
Ugh! Ugh! I was originally a phoenix, but I was harmed by the Chen family!
Now everyone looked at Chen Mingen's father Qin Lang excitedly. Even the Qin family and the Wang family were a little surprised, but everyone was used to what Qin Lang did.
“Impossible! Impossible!!!”
It took Wen's father and mother a long time to react. Without looking at the so-called information, they called their son directly. The call was connected quickly, and it was their son Wen Congwen on the line.
Although they wanted their daughter to get close to the powerful, the Wen couple's real estate was in the hands of their son.
"Son, you sold our entire street? Sold it to someone else?"
Father Wen's voice was trembling, but Wen Congwen on the other end spoke very casually.
"Yes, I sold it to a man named Qin Lang. Dad, do you still have money? I still owe the casino over 50 million. Hurry up and save me with the money..."
That’s right, Wen Congwen likes gambling and is now in Macau. After all, every heroine must have a terrible family, so that the hero can appear capable. Wen Congwen is Wen Runrun’s disappointing brother.
“It’s gone…it’s gone…it’s all gone…”
Father Wen was so shocked that he trembled all over, and then he suddenly fell backwards. Someone around him heard Wen Congwen's voice, so he spoke excitedly.
"Wen Congwen sold the entire Sheshui Street to Mr. Qin! He is Chen Mingen's biological father!!!"
"Really? Then Mr. Qin will be our landlord from now on?"
"Ming'en's father is so powerful..."
Many shop owners looked at Qin Lang excitedly, while Wen's father had already fallen to the ground. The two women of the Wen family were already at a loss, and Qin Lang looked at everyone present and said with a smile.
"Hello, everyone! I'm the current owner of all the properties on Sheshui Street. Today, I'm here to pick up my son, who's been away from home for seventeen years. To celebrate this great event, I'll waive rent for one year for all businesses here who have spoken on my son's behalf! Anyone who can provide evidence that the Chen couple went to the mainland to buy someone will receive a ten-year rent waiver!"
Oh my god! There is such a good thing!!!
Many of the shopkeepers who had just spoken up for Chen Ming'en smiled, and some who could not speak out because of the presence of the Wen family spoke up immediately.
"I have it! I have evidence that the Chen family bought the child!"
"I have it too! I have evidence of the Chen family assaulting people!"
"I have evidence here that the Chen family treats Ming'en as a long-term laborer!"
Everyone suddenly became lively. After all, sometimes interests plus emotions are the key to success. Qin Lang then looked at the police comrades with a smile.
"It seems that many enthusiastic citizens have provided evidence to the police. I hope that you can investigate this case thoroughly and make the Chen couple pay the price they deserve."
The policeman naturally nodded quickly, and Chen Mingen in the crowd secretly looked at Qin Lang and thought unconsciously.
Is this Dad? He's so awesome...
