Martial Arts: I Have Diligence Reward System

Chapter 28: Chapter 22: A Guest at Home

It had been a long time since there were guests at home. Su Yue led everyone to the living room, making tea and fetching things, busying around. The Director had come; the place was truly honored.

Yet, his right hand was crippled, and being left-handed was inconvenient.

Using the system in the future would require more thought.

Due to the unique structure of the house, one had to pass through a corridor to reach the living room.

Li Xingpei and the others voluntarily put on shoe covers and were amazed by the cleanliness and tidiness of Su Yue’s home.

It could be described as spotless.

Who would imagine this was a place where three men lived?

Especially Li Xingpei.

Women naturally love cleanliness, and Su Yue’s family left a good impression on her.

No wonder Prince Qing earned a great reputation in the Second Battlefield. His family, though living in poverty, still maintained such discipline, which was understandable.

As for Su Yue’s Qi Blood value, when Li Xingpei had some free time, she noticed something odd.

This kid was probably hiding something.

She couldn’t see exactly how much, but getting into the potential class shouldn’t be a problem.

The son of Prince Qing, if he couldn’t even get into a potential class, would truly be a joke.

Su Jianzhou came out pushing his wheelchair, surprised that even the Director had come.

Then everyone sat down and started chatting.

Uncle used to be a martial artist, and although he was now disabled, he could still chat with Li Xingpei and the others, while Su Yue felt a little awkward instead.

Second Battlefield, Seventh Battlefield.

Su Yue listened and was confused—it seemed like such matters were for martial artists to deal with.

...

Outside the door.

Su Jianjun, carrying his small backpack, was on his way home, his expression especially happy, just like forgetting the teacher assigned homework.

”Stop right there, don’t move!”

Trouble suddenly arrived from the heavens.

Su Jianjun hadn’t even opened the door when he saw a familiar group of people.

Yes.

It was them—who a few days ago forced the landlord to sell his house and left a muddy mess inside.

This group of people was really annoying.

”Hey, didn’t Old Wang notify you about moving out? From now on, I’m the landlord, I’ll give you a three-day grace period, nephew.”

Liang Youxin smirked without humor.

The last time he came, the little brat left a deep impression because he cried when he didn’t change shoes—a real oddball.

”The landlord has sold the house to my family; you’re not allowed in.”

Su Jianjun stood at the door with arms outstretched as if guarding his own world.

”Kid, don’t imitate adults boasting.”

Liang Youxin shook his head, intending to bypass Su Jianjun.

”Old Liang, what the kid says is true; the house has been sold to them.”

At this moment, the landlord arrived just in time to stop Liang Youxin.

”Sold to them?

”Does his family have the purchasing permit? Old Wang, even at this point, don’t play tricks with me.”

Liang Youxin crooked his mouth, sneering disdainfully.

...

”I’ll go check at the door.”

In the living room, the others were still chatting when they suddenly heard faint arguing from the door.

Su Yue turned to go out, while the others continued their conversation.

”If you can’t produce the purchasing permit, then leave promptly and don’t waste time.”

Liang Youxin was getting impatient.

Ding!

Divine Land Bank informs you of a large deposit of 900,000 yuan.

Suddenly, a notification sound appeared from the landlord’s phone.

”Landlord, you’re here. Did you bring the contract?

”I’ve already wired the house payment to your account; this is the purchasing permit. There are guests at home, so it’s inconvenient to come inside. Let’s sign the contract at the door.”

Su Yue opened the door while producing the housing permit card.

Su Yue had previously transferred rent to the landlord, so his account was saved on Su Yue’s phone.

After signing the contract, Su Yue and the landlord could process the transfer directly on their phones, conveniently and quickly.

”Old Liang, sorry, but 500,000 really wouldn’t do it, so I sold it to the tenant for 900,000.

”The remaining 700,000 I owe you, I’ll transfer it over after signing the contract.”

The landlord took out the contract from his briefcase, smiling calmly.

”Wow, I’m about to have my own place!”

Su Jianjun was so excited he wanted to scratch the walls.

Crack!

A group of people stood frozen, with Liang Youxin clenching his fists hard.

How could such a coincidence happen?

The purchasing permit—this family was related to criminals, so how could they have a purchasing permit?

Moreover, 900,000 in cash wasn’t something ordinary people could easily produce.

”Wait, Old Wang, you can’t back out last minute; we agreed earlier. How about this, if you feel short-changed, I can add another 100,000.

”Besides, this tenant’s situation is special—the source of their purchasing permit, is it legitimate? Is the money stolen property? Do you know all these clearly?

”Don’t get yourself into big trouble over petty gains.”

Liang Youxin walked up to the landlord, threatening him in a sinister tone.

”No worries, I trust them.

”Even if you add another million, I’d still sell to them.”

The landlord frowned.

”Old Wang, believe me, if you dare to sign a contract with them today, you’ll find it difficult to make a move in the future.

”I’ll connect you to Director Liang of the Investigation and Arrest Bureau. He seems interested in your contract fraud case; if you end up being arrested overnight by the Bureau, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Liang Youxin took out his phone and dialed a number.

The landlord’s face turned pale, and he trembled with anger.

Indeed, Liang Youxin was intimidating him, but he hadn’t broken any Divine Land laws.

The Investigation and Arrest Bureau had the authority to investigate him.

But the landlord was in a dire situation; even if he sold the house, he needed to quickly handle his goods.

If arrested and investigated by the Bureau at this moment, even if released innocent eventually, time is money, and he would be ruined.

The Bureau had life-or-death authority within legal bounds.

Ring!

Ring!

The call was on speaker, and the atmosphere was eerily silent. The landlord could even hear his heartbeat.

”Hello!”

The call connected, and Director Liang’s powerful voice came through.

”Director Liang, hello, I’m Liang Youxin. Old Wang wants to have a word with you.”

Liang Youxin handed the phone to the landlord—a direct threat.

However.

At that moment, a burly figure emerged from the room and directly took Liang Youxin’s phone.

”Old Wang, the Investigation and Arrest Bureau doesn’t wish to meddle in your trivial matters. You better...

”I’m Wang Nanguo. I give you five minutes to come over and investigate this matter thoroughly. I, Wang Nanguo, haven’t even left Cengyan City yet, and someone’s already daring to strong-arm a sale?”

Wang Nanguo was practically seething with rage.

How embarrassing.

Today, even the Director was present, and yet such trouble involving the Investigation and Arrest Bureau cropped up.

This kind of businessman’s tactics, Wang Nanguo usually didn’t bother to manage.

Strictly speaking, Director Liang didn’t have much to blame legally; at most, it would be a warning.

The landlord must be being blackmailed over something, also due to his own foolishness.

But with the Director here, he had to handle the matter properly.

Li Xingpei inside shook her head.

The business world is like a battlefield, always full of filth, and it’s impossible to cure it completely.

”Director...”

Liang Youxin was scared numb, gulped hard, and was devastated.

Who would have thought, the Director of the Investigation and Arrest Bureau, would be in such a remote location?

It’s over!

Totally finished.

”If there’s any grievance, explain it to Director Liang later; I’ll be overseeing his handling of the case.”

Wang Nanguo told the landlord.

A few minutes later, a car from the Investigation and Arrest Bureau rushed over.

Director Liang got out of the car, his clothes drenched in sweat.

It was unreal how Liang Youxin ended up hitting the bullet with his foot.

Actually, Director Liang himself wasn’t wrong either; whether to arrest or not was determined by Divine Land’s laws, and everything he did complied with the legal framework.

The problem was that this idiot Liang Youxin insisted on calling in front of the Director.

Now, to prove his innocence, he had to arrest Liang Youxin.

Director Liang lamented his bad luck.

Wang Nanguo didn’t care anymore. Everyone knew he would go to Hongyuan City as Deputy Director the next day; today was his last day in office.

But trouble never comes alone, and Wang Nanguo had accompanied the Director in visiting the people.

With Wang Nanguo present, so was the Director.
