Chapter 518: Wouldn't It Have Been Fine to Do This Sooner?

Liu Daneng didn't just say that casually; he was essentially telling you, "I want to buy materials now, but the Small Residential District Property Management won't let me deliver them inside."

"So it depends on you. Anyway, if you don't have this ability, I won't be able to use the materials once I buy them, and naturally, I won't be able to pay you on time."

Sure enough, the man on the other end said, "Getting materials into the Small Residential District, right? Did you not get a pass beforehand? Don't worry about that. If you buy materials from us, we can help you get the pass; it's no problem at all."

"Really?" Liu Daneng said, very worriedly, "I waited a long time to get a pass before, but they just wouldn't issue one. Do you really have a way?"

"Don't worry, I have a way. How much do you need? Send over a list. I've been doing this for so many years; it's really not a problem."

"Oh, that's fine then. Look, let's add each other on WeChat, and I'll send it to you there."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Daneng started sending the material list. He figured he would just send over the previous ones and pay when it was time to pay.

On the other side, Han Guoxing looked at the material list that had been sent over and immediately called someone to start preparing the stock, because the other party had already sent the deposit.

After clarifying the other party's room number, the owner's name, and so on, Han Guoxing dialed Manager Wang's number.

"Hey, brother-in-law, yes, another family bought materials today. Hmm, it seems to be the one you sent me before, that person surnamed Liu, called Liu Daneng. Anyway, I'm delivering the materials tomorrow, so you get a pass ready today."

On this end, Manager Wang listened to the voice on the phone and laughed, "That guy surnamed Liu bought them? He just wouldn't shed a tear until he saw the coffin. Let me tell you, this person has come to the Property Management to make a scene many times."

"And today he had someone from who knows where come to deliver goods, and they couldn't get them in for ages. So he finally caved in, huh."

"Alright, since he's bought them, we can definitely let them in. Tomorrow, right? I'll have them process it now."

For regulations like the pass that are specific to this Small Residential District, basically, how they are handled is just a matter of a single word.

In any case, the regulations definitely list a lot of requirements; this is specifically to obstruct people.

To put it bluntly, this thing itself is just a piece of paper...

One can only say that our Property Management is truly special now. Even though legislation is becoming increasingly strict, they are still complained about by who knows how many owners for being a "daddy" they paid to hire...

After hanging up the phone, Manager Wang didn't feel surprised. Liu Daneng wasn't the only one who had made a scene in this Small Residential District.

Haven't they all caved in eventually? The house is right there. Unless you have so many houses that you don't care, as an ordinary person, you definitely have to renovate after buying a house.

If they drag it out slowly, they can wear you out completely.

It's not about who is in the right or not; this has nothing to do with being in the right. It's basically that feeling of "I find it laughable when you talk about the law."

Time flew by to the next day, and Liu Daneng called the other party early.

"Hey brother, you said you'd deliver today, so did you get that pass?"

Han Guoxing on the phone said very casually, "Of course. What's a pass? I got it done yesterday."

"What? You're at the entrance of the Small Residential District? You want to see it? Why is it so troublesome? Wait, the delivery driver will let you see it when he goes over."

Han Guoxing was still a "particular person." He believed that since the other party was following the "rules," he should also be particular. It was just a pass; if they wanted to see it, they could see it.

With these words, Liu Daneng asked for leave from his Company again and went to guard the entrance of the Small Residential District.

Of course, a certain handsome guy followed along too; he was particularly interested in this matter now.

At the entrance of the Small Residential District, Zhou Yi and the other person waited for about twenty minutes before the truck delivering the materials arrived.

"General Manager Zhou, that's the truck. Let's go over!" Liu Daneng pointed and said.

"Alright, let's go see what this pass looks like."

The two of them arrived at the entrance and waited for the driver to show the pass to the security guard and drive in before walking up.

The driver said with some impatience, "Liu Daneng, right? Here, the pass you wanted. Take a look if you want. Is the door at home open? Is anyone there? I have to go over and unload the materials."

Liu Daneng took the pass, pulled out his phone to take a Photo, and said, "The renovation team is there. Just wait downstairs, and when you drive over and report the name, just unload."

The driver didn't pay attention to the other party's actions, took the pass back, and drove off while grumbling.

"General Manager Zhou, do you think this will work?" Liu Daneng sent the Photo of the pass to Zhou Yi.

"No problem. I'll have the Lawyer organize this evidence first, and then you go supervise the unloading of the materials. And aren't there group chats? You might as well start chatting with those neighbors. You don't need too many, just a few people will do."

The urgent matter right now is to get the Public Security Bureau to initiate a Case Filing and investigation. As long as the people are taken away, everything else will be easy to handle.

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it—keep this in mind. When you don't see any hope, don't expect many people to be willing to follow you.

But once things are certain, there will definitely be no shortage of people who come to add flowers to the brocade.

So there is no need to worry about any omissions. Once the Public Security Bureau investigates and finds that the situation of this case is very serious, rest assured, they will want to dig deeper into this case even more than you do...

Zhou Yi turned around and sent the evidence to Lawyer Fang, while Liu Daneng started chatting with the neighbors in the group one by one.

He opened his contacts to look, and soon found a neighbor.

This was someone he had met when buying the house, and they were in the same unit as his family.

"Hey, Hanwen, it's me, Liu Daneng, from the twelfth floor. Yes, we met when we were buying the house. There's something I want to talk about; is it convenient for you now?"

In the room, Zhang Hanwen, who was supervising the renovation workers, was a bit surprised. Although they had met before, they had only spoken a few words and just acknowledged each other as neighbors.

They didn't have any interaction with each other, so he didn't expect a sudden phone call.

"Brother Liu, okay, wait a moment. The renovation noise here is a bit loud."

Walking into the hallway, Zhang Hanwen then asked, "Brother, what's the matter that you're calling me, and making it so formal?"

"Sigh, this matter is quite troublesome. My family is planning to renovate recently, and when I bought materials, the Property Management wouldn't let them be delivered inside..."

Liu Daneng explained the situation he encountered, leaving Zhang Hanwen stunned.

"Brother, you... this means you want us all to bring out evidence and call the police, right? This... but my renovation is already taking shape. Offending the Property Management at this time..."

Liu Daneng laughed, "Hanwen, listen to me first. Not to mention that the materials bought from that place are much more expensive than those on the market, let's just talk about other things. Your family also paid the Decoration Deposit, right? I only found out after asking the Lawyer that the Property Management isn't allowed to collect this money; there are specific laws!"

What? Zhang Hanwen was stunned: "Brother, are you sure you didn't ask wrong? Basically, every Small Residential District collects this money now. As long as you renovate, you have to pay."

"I'm definitely sure I didn't ask wrong. It's just that you don't need to pay. So think about it, that's not a small amount of money either. If you're willing, let's meet up."

"I'll just say one thing: with a Property Management like this, brother, tell me, even if we move in later, will we have a good life? We have to face them all the time in the future."

This is a big problem. Whether a Property Management is good or bad, you can basically tell as soon as you've had contact with them once.

A trashy Property Management means a mess after you move in.

Zhang Hanwen thought carefully for a long time and finally said, "Brother, are you sure you don't need me to come forward, just provide the evidence?"

No one wants to be the first bird to be shot.

"That goes without saying. None of you need to come forward; just give all the materials to me. Someone is doing this job anyway."

In fact, a certain handsome guy had already made the arrangements, so even Liu Daneng didn't need to come forward.

This neighbor is alright; he actually has such a sense of responsibility!

Everyone can understand the logic. It goes without saying that this Property Management is trash, and now that someone is willing to come out and take it seriously, everyone certainly has no issues with that.

After settling with one, Liu Daneng added, "Hanwen, you can also contact other neighbors to see if anyone else is willing. They can all come to me; they don't need to come forward themselves!"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Daneng started contacting another neighbor.

Many people are currently renovating, and evidence such as the cost of purchasing materials is right at hand, making it very easy to collect.

After collecting evidence for about five people, Liu Daneng stopped and sent the evidence to Zhou Yi.

At this point, according to Zhou Yi's words, the matter had nothing to do with him; he would obediently go to work and obediently wait for the renovation.

Everyone is a reasonable person. I do indeed intend to call the police to have you Treading the Sewing Machine, but as for my renovation and material purchases, I will handle them as they should be handled.

It was just that, according to Liu Daneng's meaning, how could everything be left to President Zhou? So after discussing it, he followed along.

Zhou Yi did not refuse; as the victim coming to report the crime in person, there was no problem with that.

All necessary evidence was present, and Lawyer Fang was currently organizing and securing it.

To prove the crime of Forced Transaction, one must first prove the existence of the act of forced transaction, which was the first piece of evidence Liu Daneng collected.

The Property Management indeed engaged in the act of coercing owners to purchase materials from cooperative material suppliers.

If you don't buy, you aren't allowed in; this is definitely an act of forced transaction, no doubt about it.

On the other hand, there are the Serious Circumstances; this goes without saying, as there are already six people involved, so there is no issue at all.

It was still Lawyer Fang's old habit: all evidence was organized with extreme clarity. Even if someone who didn't understand the law came, they could understand it by comparing the evidence to the legal articles.

Everything was ready.

On November 15th, Zhou Yi looked at his legal calendar: today is suitable for reporting a crime, imprisonment!

Not bad, it's a good day. Old Master Zhou is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see those people go in on a bad day. There's no help for it; he is just this kind.

Sending people in must be done on a good day.

He packed up all the relevant evidence into a large handbag, went downstairs to drive, first picked up Liu Daneng, and then headed straight for the Police Station.

This Police Station was called the Kangjie Police Station, and he had never had any contact with it before.

But that doesn't matter; the first time is strange, the second time is familiar. Only by making contact can one become familiar.

Soon, he parked the car outside the Police Station, and Zhou Yi carried the large bag and walked inside in a swaggering manner.

Liu Daneng was completely bewildered. He had long heard that President Zhou was well-connected at many Police Stations, but he hadn't expected him to be this arrogant!

This is a Police Station, after all. An Old Honest Man like him wouldn't come here a few times in his life, and he felt a bit scared just walking in.

Yet, President Zhou managed to walk with the feeling of "coming home."

"Young man, what are you here for?"

The single sentence made Liu Daneng jump, and he hurriedly took a look.

It turned out that before they even entered the door, they had been stopped by an elderly police officer.

"Me? I'm here to report a crime!" Zhou Yi signaled to Liu Daneng not to be afraid, then said.

The old policeman looked at Zhou Yi's appearance, then at the bag in the other's hand, and suddenly said, "You are that Zhou Yi, right?"

"You know me? That's not right, I haven't met you before!"

The old policeman chuckled and said, "In our Jingzhou Political and Legal System now, there probably aren't many who don't know you. But why did you run over here? Why didn't you go to Zhonglou or Guangming Road?"

As he spoke, the old policeman pushed open the door of the Police Station and let Zhou Yi in.

At this moment, let alone Liu Daneng, the two people following behind who also seemed to be there to report crimes were all stunned.

Who is this person? There is actually a policeman saying that not many people in the Jingzhou Political and Legal System don't know him!

Could it be that he came out from inside...

Only Liu Daneng continued to sigh with emotion: President Zhou is President Zhou, no words needed!

Once inside, the old policeman sat down next to a young man on duty. Zhou Yi could even tell that the young man seemed to be feeling nervous...

"Sit here. Come on, tell me, what crime are you reporting this time?" the old policeman asked with an interested look.

This is the difference in how Zhou Yi reports crimes.

Bringing a pile of evidence to report a crime is a great thing for the Public Security Bureau.

It's not that everyone is encouraged to do this; naturally, there is no such provision in the law.

It's just that we are talking about the reality of the situation. There are only so many grassroots case handlers, and it's impossible to cover everything; they must prioritize major and important cases.

Zhou Yi placed the large bag on the table, and the table shook from the impact.

"The situation is like this: this Employee of my Company, his Small Residential District Property Management is currently engaging in forced buying and selling. They won't let materials bought from other places in."

"Only materials bought from people they cooperate with are allowed in."

"Look, comrade, this is the evidence. Before, when buying materials himself, it dragged on for more than ten days without getting a pass. Later, after buying the other party's materials, it was processed in less than a day."

"And these, these are all evidence of other people buying materials. Here is the price difference; buying materials from that Property Management's cooperative material supplier is at least twenty or thirty percent more expensive than the market price..."

The old policeman took the thick stack of evidence and began to read, nodding involuntarily. This evidence was beautifully prepared!

Whether a piece of evidence is well-prepared depends on whether it points directly to the core.

Evidence that has passed through Lawyer Fang's hands is as beautiful as poetry.

After finishing it, the old policeman said, "Alright, at least from what I've seen here, there's no problem. We will report this to the branch bureau for Case Filing right now!"

The situation involved here should be very serious. The old policeman was experienced and saw it at a glance, because there was an Investigation Report among the evidence.

It said that there are over 3,600 households in the Small Residential District, and currently over 1,000 are undergoing renovation, so one can imagine the situation...

This is truly getting a pillow just when you're sleepy!

Brother units have shown their faces so much this year; it's time for their Kangjie Police Station to show its face too. Such a serious act of forced transaction, which might even involve other matters, must be dug into deeply!

One update today, red packets have been sent out, I will make up for it tomorrow; by the way, let me ask everyone, I see many people like the calendar in the book, if many of you like it, I will see if I can make some... I'll compile them myself.

Thanks to Xiaoyan, another newcomer, Feimaowuyu, Wenchidage, and whesiley, thank you for the tips, thank you.
