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 so quickly!

Hearing this, Ye Changqian and his son and daughter also turned pale!

"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 would Ye Changqian and the others have to go out and find work, but even Old Mrs. Xiao would probably have to find a place to wash dishes.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to survive at all.

Old Mrs. Xiao sat on the ground and threw a tantrum, "You are taking the lives of our family of four! I just repaid all the money, and you are going to take my house!"

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

Ye Changqian and the others were also brought out by law enforcement officers.

At this moment, Ye Changqian felt despair in his heart.

He had already understood the situation. Now it was the court's mandatory enforcement. If he dared to obstruct it, it would be openly resisting the law.

Who told his family to owe people money?

Now that people have applied to the court for mandatory enforcement, it is also completely reasonable and legal.

Ye Hailong collapsed at this time, "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, then I might as well die."

Hearing this, the old lady scratched her hair and cursed, "Damn bank, how can they do things to such an extent? They don't give people a way to live at all!"

Ye Changqian blurted out at this time, "Mom! Where exactly are those antiques of yours hidden?! If they are found, it will be all over!"

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

Ye Changqian hurriedly stepped forward to support her. Only then did she catch her breath and say nervously, "Those antiques are all in a secret compartment under the basement floor. They shouldn't be able to find them..."

Ye Changqian rubbed his temples and said, "If they are found, then everything will be over."

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

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

Ye Changqian asked in surprise, "Young man, is this a mine detector?"

The man smiled and said, "No, but the principle is similar. They are all metal detectors. If they encounter metal underground, they will issue 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, Ye Changqian's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out, "It's one thing for you to seal other people's houses, but do you have to clear mines in other people's homes?"

The man said, "Based on our many years of experience in sealing houses, generally 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 to the ground instantly.

Ye Changqian's heart also skipped a beat. After the man finished speaking, he hurriedly entered the villa. Only then did Ye Changqian hurriedly support the old lady and ask, "Mom, what's in Dad's batch of antiques?"

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

Ye Changqian 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 pewter ware, and two pieces of horseshoe gold..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Changqian slapped his thigh and said painfully, "It's over! It's over! It's all over! You hid these things in the basement. They'll go down and use that thing to probe, and everything will be probed out!"

After saying this, he pointed at the old lady angrily and scolded, "You old woman are the most greedy! I told you long ago to take the things out, take them out, take them out so I could exchange them for some money, but you just wouldn't take them out! You wouldn't take them out even if you died! 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 they've all been sealed!"

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

Just after she finished speaking, 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 as he said this, Old Mrs. Xiao, who had just been supported, collapsed to the ground again, her face full of despair.

The person in charge added, "Because this villa is under your name, we assume that the things in the secret compartment also belong to you. Therefore, we are legally sealing this batch of cultural relics and precious metals. 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, then 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 saying this, he turned around and returned to the villa.

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