One house sold twice.

"Why should I show you the purchase contract?" the woman replied with displeasure. "Get out quickly, or I'll call the Police."

Seeing the woman's firm attitude and refusal to produce the purchase contract, the owner could no longer control his temper and roared, "Go ahead, call the Police! Do it! This is truly ridiculous! You're occupying my house, and you're still so self-righteous!"

Perhaps startled, the woman instinctively recoiled, scrutinizing the owner with an uncertain expression.

She then pulled out her phone and immediately dialed the Police, followed by another call to her husband, asking him to come back.

Lin Yuan and the others were a bit bewildered by the scene.

In their subconscious, they were certain that this woman had occupied the owner's house, which was why she refused to show the purchase contract earlier.

They had initially thought her threat to call the Police was just a scare tactic, so who would have expected her to actually call them?

Could it be that she called the Police to arrest them?

Impossible!

He couldn't understand it, completely couldn't understand it.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the elevator lobby was a bit strange, with the woman constantly scrutinizing Lin Yuan and the others, her guard clearly up.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, the elevator door slowly opened.

Stepping out were several Police Officers from the station.

Seeing the situation inside the room, they also looked surprised and asked with confusion, "Who called the Police, and what exactly is the situation?"

"I called the Police!" the woman quickly raised her hand and explained, "Police Comrade, these people inexplicably came to my house and said this house is theirs."

Hearing this, the owner immediately became displeased and quickly explained, "Police Comrade, this is the house I bought, and now her family has occupied it."

Seeing both of them arguing, the Police Officers were a bit confused.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

"You both say this house is yours? Right?"

"Yes!" both replied in unison.

"Huh?" The leading Police Officer was stunned for a moment. "Then can you provide evidence?"

"Of course!" Both replied in unison again.

Now this was something; not only the Police, but even the owner and the woman were confused.

They all looked at each other in shock, their eyes filled with disbelief.

The Police Officer, still surprised, asked in a deep voice, "Then please both present your evidence; I'll take a look."

"Okay!" Without another word, the woman took out her key, opened her front door, and prepared to go back inside to retrieve her evidence.

"This..." The owner's expression was slightly hesitant, and he chuckled awkwardly, "My property deed is at home; I'll have to go back and get it, which might take quite a bit of time, going back and forth."

"No problem!" The Police Officer waved his hand. "Go get it, we'll wait for you."

Hearing this, the owner looked at Lin Yuan and the others, then gritted his teeth and nodded heavily, "Okay, then you all wait for me here."

After speaking, he walked directly to the elevator to retrieve his property certificate.

A moment later, the woman came out, holding a document bag which she handed to the Police.

"Police Comrade, here is my evidence."

"Mm!" The Police Officer wasted no words, took the bag, and pulled out the documents inside to examine them carefully.

But as he read, Lin Yuan noticed his brows furrowing involuntarily.

The further he read, the deeper the frown became.

After finishing, he asked suspiciously, "This isn't a purchase contract, is it?"

The woman nodded calmly, "That's right, it was mortgaged to our family by the developer, and it has their official seal on it."

"Mortgaged? What does that mean?"

"Because the developer owed our family money, and he couldn't pay it back, he used the house as collateral for repayment. That's why the transfer contract was signed. Isn't this evidence enough?"

Hearing this explanation, Chen Lin was dumbfounded.

She had known this house was empty before, and it was introduced through an acquaintance.

She never expected this house to belong to someone else.

Then what was going on with the owner?

He couldn't possibly be deliberately playing a trick on her, could he?

Now, they could only wait for the owner to arrive before making the next decision.

Fortunately, twenty minutes later, the owner appeared at the elevator entrance, panting, holding a large book.

It read 'Real Estate Title Certificate' on it.

"Police Comrade, this is my property certificate, you can take a look."

"Okay!" The leading Police Officer took the property deed and carefully flipped through it, and just like before, the more he read, the tighter his brows furrowed.

After he finished reading, he turned to the Police Officer next to him and instructed, "Call and check if this property deed is real."

"Understood!"

The owner smiled confidently and said, "Go ahead and call. How could a property deed I personally processed be fake?"

As expected, after the Police Officer finished the call, he immediately nodded heavily, "The property deed is real; this house currently belongs to him!"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.

Especially the woman, her pupils suddenly constricted, and she shouted excitedly, "How is that possible!! The house clearly belongs to our family!"

The Police Officer took a deep breath and slowly explained, "Madam, we've checked, and it's indeed real. Please believe us."

The owner's face immediately lit up with joy, and he said indignantly, "Now can you make her family remove all their things?"

"This..." The Police Officer looked troubled and replied with a bitter smile, "Sir, in your situation, I suggest you file a lawsuit in court. We Police do not have the authority to handle this matter."

At this, the owner was completely dumbfounded and asked with a puzzled expression, "Why? The house has already been proven to be mine. Just deal with it directly."

In response, the Police Officer could only helplessly continue to explain.

No matter how angry the owner was, it was useless.

Now, not only him, but the woman was also very angry. She also didn't understand why the house had become someone else's.

She even revealed an even more shocking fact.

This house had already been renovated, and their family had already moved in, which was why they had also sealed off the entrance, making it a one-apartment-per-floor unit.

Hearing such a result, the owner was so furious his lungs were about to explode.

But facing a woman, he couldn't possibly resort to violence, could he?

The netizens in the live stream were also stunned by this matter.

— [Isn't this a typical case of 'one house, two sales'? I just want to know if this is really not illegal? Why was it only discovered now? Where is the developer? Where did he go?]

— [It's not legal, but it's not a crime. It can't even be considered fraud. Isn't that ridiculous? You work hard your whole life to earn money to buy a house, and it ends up belonging to someone else, but he doesn't commit a crime! In this day and age, even with a property deed in hand, the house might not necessarily be yours.]

— [This is troublesome now. Both sides have a point, and both have spent money. The house has also been renovated. Whose is it ultimately? If even having a property deed doesn't guarantee protection, then who would dare to buy a house in the future?]

— [Actually, this is simple. Just take the property deed to the bank for a mortgage loan, then deliberately don't repay it. You'll see, the bank has a million ways to repossess the house.]

Fortunately, the woman's husband returned quickly. He was a middle-aged man, and from his attire, he had a distinguished demeanor, clearly a company executive.

Upon his arrival, the man immediately understood the situation. When he learned that the owner had come with a property deed demanding the house, his face turned very grim.

However, not only did he not voluntarily return the house, but he also impatiently tried to drive everyone away.

"This is my home; I paid for it. If you want the house, go find the developer. If you want to sue, I'm ready anytime!"

After speaking, he directly closed the door, no longer paying attention to anyone.

This left Lin Yuan and the others dumbfounded. No matter how much the owner knocked and shouted at the door, there was no response.

The Police also expressed helplessness; this was not within their jurisdiction and exceeded their authority.

The situation had escalated to this point, surprising everyone.

It seemed that only by finding the developer could this be resolved.

But the problem was, where would they find the developer?

Even if they wanted to sue, first you'd have to know who to sue, right?

How much time would this back and forth take? Was his business just going to stop?

Moreover, neither the developer nor the family next door were people the owner could afford to offend.

Anyone who could make the developer owe them money, their social status must be quite high.

Even if he went to court with the property deed, he might not necessarily win.

After all, in this society, money and power are king.

Thinking of this, Chen Lin suddenly looked at Lin Yuan, a hint of cunning in her eyes.

She quietly leaned closer to Lin Yuan and teased, "Lin Yuan... aren't you a big internet celebrity? Help expose this! I believe in the power of the masses."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan's expression froze, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He couldn't even access the internet himself, so how could he expose it?

But he didn't think much of it, while the expressions of the Police Officers opposite him instantly changed drastically.

They all stared intently at Lin Yuan, their eyes filled with shock.

The leading Police Officer even exclaimed directly, "What did you just call him? Lin Yuan? Are you Lin Yuan?"

Lin Yuan nodded, puzzled, "Huh~~ What's wrong?"

Hiss~~

The three Police Officers immediately gasped.

One must know that the name Lin Yuan was practically known to everyone in the West Sea City police force!

Although many of them had never seen what Lin Yuan looked like, the rumors about him in the past few days had worn their ears out.

Especially the police station where Director Yang worked, because of Lin Yuan, they had risen steadily, making their colleagues incredibly envious.

Now, the legendary figure actually appeared before their eyes? Combined with Chen Lin calling him a 'big internet celebrity,' who else could it be but him?

Thinking of this, their faces couldn't help but become extremely excited.

Was this a stroke of luck, an opportunity knocking at their door?

Within their police station, a saying had long circulated: Lin Yuan was a walking merit.

As long as he was there, there would surely be a major case!

And now, wasn't it fulfilling that saying, encountering a situation?

But then they remembered their earlier evasion, saying this matter wasn't within their jurisdiction, and their expressions suddenly changed, cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads.

This is insane!!

If they just walked away today, and it got exposed online later, wouldn't they be drowned in public criticism?

To disregard an opportunity right in front of them and act foolishly was truly something else.

To make amends, the leading Police Officer acted uncharacteristically, walking up with a smile and extending his hand to greet him, patting his chest and assuring him, "So it's Lin Yuan! Don't worry, we will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Ah, uh..." Lin Yuan shook his hand blankly, utterly bewildered.

The owner next to him was also confused. What was going on?

Hadn't they just said this matter wasn't within their jurisdiction?

Why did they suddenly want to investigate it thoroughly?

And who exactly was Lin Yuan? He seemed to have heard that name somewhere before.
