Chapter 409

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Xiao's face changed instantly!

Her body swayed, and the cane in her hand also fell to the ground with a slap.

She thought she still had enough time to find someone to save her life, but she didn't expect the death warrant to be delivered to her front door so quickly!

Xiao Changgan and his son and daughter also turned pale upon hearing this!

"Mom? What's the situation? Is our house going to be sealed? Didn't we already give over a million?"

With the Xiao family's current economic conditions, if the villa was sealed, they wouldn't even have a place to live, and none of them had any skills, so their end would only be more miserable.

Not only did Xiao Changgan and the others have to go out to find work, but even Old Mrs. Xiao would probably have to find a place to wash dishes.

Otherwise, they simply wouldn't be able to survive.

Old Mrs. Xiao sat on the ground and acted shamelessly, "You are taking the lives of our family of four! I just repaid all the money, and you want to repossess my house!"

The person in charge said coldly, "We are acting according to the law. You owe money and don't repay it; creditors have the right to request the court to freeze and seal all your assets! Now I give you a piece of advice: if you can get money to pay off the debt, the villa and accounts will be unsealed. But if you cannot pay off the debt within the next three months, the creditors have the right to sue you. By then, you might be sued for fraud!"

Old Mrs. Xiao hugged the other party's leg crazily and blurted out, "You cannot seal my villa. I've lived here for nearly twenty years; this is my home!"

The other party didn't pay attention to her, directly saying to several staff members, "Carry her out first and let her calm down."

Several people hurriedly supported her and brought her out the door. Old Mrs. Xiao cried and shouted in collapse, "You cannot do this! You cannot do this!"

No one paid attention to her shouting.

Xiao Changgan and the others were also brought out by law enforcement officers.

At this time, Xiao Changgan felt despair in his heart.

He had already understood the situation. Now it was the court's mandatory enforcement. If they dared to block it, it would be public resistance to the law.

Who told their family to owe people money?

Now that people had applied to the court for mandatory enforcement, it was completely reasonable and legal.

Xiao Hailong collapsed at this time, crying, "Dad, what should we do? If the villa is sealed, where will our family live?"

Xiao Weiwei cried directly, "We are already miserable and poor enough. If the villa is gone too, then I might as well die."

Upon hearing this, the old lady scratched her hair and cursed, "Damn the bank, how can they do things to such an extent, not giving people a way to live at all!"

Xiao Changgan blurted out at this time, "Mom! Where exactly are those antiques of yours hidden?! If they are found, then everything will be finished!"

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Xiao felt dark before her eyes and almost fell down.

Xiao Changgan hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and only then did she recover, saying nervously, "Those antiques are all in a secret compartment under the floor of the basement. They shouldn't be able to find them..."

Xiao Changgan rubbed his temples and said, "If they are found, then everything will be finished."

Just as he was speaking, a young man in uniform came in from outside, holding a strange-looking device in his hand.

This device was a long pole with a circle at the front, looking very much like a mine detector used in movies.

Xiao Changgan asked in surprise, "Young man, is this a mine detector?"

The man smiled and said, "No, but the principle is about the same. It's a metal detector. If it encounters metal underground, it will give a prompt. Landmines are also made of metal, so this can also be used to clear mines, but the sensitivity is a bit worse."

Upon hearing that it was a metal detector, Xiao Changgan's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out, "It's one thing for you to seal other people's houses, but are you going to clear mines in other people's homes?"

The man said, "Based on our many years of sealing experience, usually as long as it's a villa, there are secret compartments in the basement, and some valuable things are hidden inside. So my task is to find them all and then seal them all according to the law!"

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Xiao collapsed on the ground.

Xiao Changgan's heart also skipped a beat. After the man finished speaking, he hurried into the villa. Xiao Changgan then hurriedly supported the old lady and questioned, "Mom, what's in that batch of antiques Dad left behind?"

Old Mrs. Xiao said nervously, "There are two vases, an ancient painting, and some other antiques..."

Xiao Changgan hurriedly asked again, "Are there any metal things?"

"Yes..." the old lady said in a panic, "There is a Ming Dynasty bronze lamp, a set of tinware, and two pieces of horseshoe gold..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Changgan slapped his thigh and said painfully, "Finished! Finished! Everything is finished! You hid all these things in the basement. They'll go down and use that thing to probe, and they'll find everything!"

After finishing, he pointed at the old lady angrily and reprimanded, "I said you were the most greedy old woman! I told you long ago to take the things out, take them out, and let me exchange them for some money, but you just wouldn't take them out! You were even willing to die rather than take them out! If you could really take them into your coffin, that would be fine, but now you can't take them with you even if you die, and everything has been sealed!"

Old Mrs. Xiao was scared to death, but she was still stubborn, "Impossible, they can't find them. I hid the things very secretly. Except for me, no one can find them!"

Just after finishing, the person in charge walked out from inside and came directly to the old lady, saying coldly, "Hello, we found a secret compartment in the basement of this house, and there is a batch of antique cultural relics and precious metals inside..."

Just after saying this, Old Mrs. Xiao, who had just been supported, collapsed on the ground again, her face full of despair.

The person in charge added, "Because this villa is under your name, we assume the things in the secret compartment also belong to you. Therefore, we are sealing this batch of cultural relics and precious metals according to the law. When the court auctions them in the future, these will all be publicly auctioned, and the proceeds from the auction will all be used to repay the debts you owe."

"If the total auction amount exceeds your total debt, then we will return the remaining funds to you after repaying the debt; if the total auction amount is less than your total debt, the creditors have the right to continue to sue you!"

After the man finished speaking, he took out a form and said to Old Mrs. Xiao, "If you have heard clearly what I just said, please sign on this!"

"I won't sign!" Old Mrs. Xiao roared hysterically, "You have no right to seal my antiques! Those are my coffin money!"

The person in charge said coldly, "I'm sorry, according to the law, these antiques have been sealed by us. Even if you don't sign, you can't change any established facts."

After finishing, he turned around and returned to the villa.

Old Mrs. Xiao felt dark before her eyes and immediately fainted...
