Chapter 115: Chapter 81: How did I die in my previous life?_4

Plus, this sort of thing, where there's no injury involved, at most it's just a scuffle.

This capturing technique is really effective, it doesn't cause injury and it can restrain the other person.

"Who the hell are you? Let go of my son! I'm telling you, if anything happens to my son, you and I are far from done!" the woman yelled.

Old Tang deftly pulled out his credentials, "I've already told you, I am Yu Jianshe's representative lawyer. Here's my ID."

The woman looked at the credentials, then at her son being pinned down by Old Tang, and her previously charged face suddenly froze.

"Ahem, wrong again. Old Yu, why didn't you remind me!"

He took out the correct lawyer's badge from his pocket, "Now that's right."

The woman stopped talking, and her son dared not say a word; the whole scene suddenly quieted down.

Tang Fangjing let go of the woman's son and looked around, "Now, can you listen to what I have to say?"

The woman and her son didn't dare to say a peep; Old Tang nodded in satisfaction.

"Look, you and his family have both been tricked by that sub-letter, right? His family is also a victim. If you force your way here to evict, it will only cause conflict between your two families, understand?"

The woman didn't say anything, but her son was the first to speak up, "But we can't find that sub-letter. What are we supposed to do? You speak so nicely, but what about the money? Who's going to pay us?"

Even though Old Tang had taken control of the situation, he didn't rush to talk about legal principles or the differences between property rights and debt rights, nor did he talk about the differences between a commission agency contract and a leasing contract.

He simply said, "If you can't find him, that's just you who can't find him. It doesn't mean others can't find him, right? Besides, you probably didn't even look for him, did I get that right?"

The son fell silent, and the woman questioned, "Then tell us, who can find him?"

"They can!"

As several people followed the direction Old Tang was pointing, they saw two police officers hastily climbing up the stairs; there was no elevator to this fifth floor, so it was quite a climb.

The two police officers below gasped for air as they climbed the stairs; they had rushed over without stopping after receiving the emergency call. These kinds of forceful evictions by landlords often led to major conflicts.

If not stopped in time, the heated parties might do something drastic; put bluntly, someone could even end up getting killed.

To their surprise, upon arrival, they found everyone staring at them, and although the place was a mess, there seemed to be no signs of arguing or fighting.

"What's the situation here?" Officer Liu asked, puzzled.

Old Tang didn't say anything, and the son suddenly became anxious, "Didn't you say they could find them? They're about to leave!"

"They can indeed find them, but right now we have no evidence. With just this little issue, going to the police would clearly be a civil dispute. Let's go inside, and I'll find out the specifics."

Everyone moved into the room, while Old Yu also brought in the bedding and such.

The old lady noticed but pretended not to.

"Alright, auntie, now you need to tell me, you must have agreed on a price with that company to rent out your property, right?"

"Of course, there was a price. I had agreed with them on a monthly rent of two thousand, twenty-four thousand for a year."

Old Tang immediately turned to Yu Jianshe, "Old Yu, how much did you pay to that company?"

Old Yu was already confused, "That company said the annual rent was twenty thousand. We rented this place because the rent was cheap!"

The old lady was also stunned. What... what's going on?

"You see, you two never properly communicated before. Otherwise, you would've discovered the issue once you did. Logically, if they're subletting, the cost should be higher than twenty-four thousand, right? After all, they need to make a profit, don't they?"

"Yes!" The old lady suddenly got excited. "Normally, this apartment wouldn't even rent for two thousand. The usual monthly rent is about two thousand one to two thousand two hundred. They said the commission would be compensated by the difference!"

Old Tang nodded, "So, you all see now, don't you? They didn't rent it out at a normal price; instead, they offered it for even less. What does that tell us?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Alas, without Old Song here, there's not even someone to set up the punchlines.

"It means that when they collected the rent, they had no intention of ever paying this auntie. Got it? Legally, this is known as fraud with the intention to withhold property unlawfully!"

After this explanation, everyone suddenly had a realization. The son asked curiously, "Then why didn't you tell the police just now? Wouldn't they understand if you had explained it like that?"

Old Tang said helplessly, "I've told you, filing a police report has never been just about the legal issues, not to mention you didn't even produce a contract, it was all just talk."

"If that company did this, it's likely not just you who's been deceived. Find all the people who've been tricked, gather all evidence, and bring out everything you know about that company. Then, with everyone together, go report to the police, that way you will see results, understand?"

Did you think going to the police and reciting a few legal provisions would work?

What a joke, a simple denial of the crime is enough for them to dismiss you.

However, when many victims come forward with all the evidence to the police, that's a completely different story.

"Alright, Old Yu, let's deal with the sublandlord situation like this for now. I need to ask you about that incident at what's it called, the garden? I saw the property owners were asserting their rights, and it looks like it involves a company. What's going on there?"
