CHAPTER 122: CHAPTER 115 UP, MY HOUSE CRACKED OPEN_4

"At the moment, we’re trying to get a statement from the property management and the owner of unit 401, but he’s refusing to show up, and the property management is just giving us the runaround..."

"I’m homeless now, and I can’t do my livestream at night. I don’t even know where to stay..."

"When faced with this kind of thing, UP, can you teach me? I want to try and get all these people locked up!"

Having read this far, Qin Mu couldn’t help but frown. Even through the screen, he could feel Qing Lan’s fury.

A load-bearing wall had been smashed, and a huge crack had opened up in the entire building, causing considerable disruption to the residents’ lives. After all, houses are scarce commodities these days, and not many people own two properties.

Under these circumstances, the property management of Qing Lan’s residential community was once again shirking their duties, offering no effective solutions. They hadn’t even addressed the issue of rehousing the affected homeowners. The so-called ’compensation’ was even more insulting. No wonder Qing Lan was so angry.

After a moment’s thought, Qin Mu sent Qing Lan a message with his WeChat ID, telling her to add him.

「Meanwhile.」

Qing Lan lay on a soft bed in a temporary hotel in Zizhou, posting an announcement in her livestream channel. She told her viewers that she couldn’t stream that day because her house had cracked.

After many of her viewers learned about the situation, instead of showing concern or sympathy, they became unusually excited and sent their ’regards.’

"The host’s house cracked? Could it be because she’s so bad at gaming that her enemies retaliated?"

"Exactly how did it crack? Horizontally, vertically, or diagonally?"

"I seriously suspect Sister Lan is being suggestive, but I have no evidence."

"Sister Lan, do you have photos of the crack in your house? I won’t believe it without pictures!"

"..."

In the viewer group, many viewers were discussing the matter, but not a single one showed any concern for her.

Qing Lan immediately posted "???" in the group and then ignored those viewers.

Just then, she saw a reply from Qin Mu in her private messages.

UP replied to me?

She quickly sat up, visibly excited. After opening the private message, she saw Qin Mu’s reply and hastily added him as a friend on her phone.

Five minutes later, the friend request was approved.

She held her phone, her fingers flying skillfully across the on-screen keyboard, sending a self-introduction in an instant.

"Hi UP, I’m your loyal fan! I’ve watched every single one of your videos!"

However, in response to her introduction, Qin Mu simply replied indifferently, "Oh."

She was stunned for a moment but then went straight to the point and reiterated her problem.

The incident had been developing for a day. After the building cracked, the homeowners approached the property management center, but the center kept beating around the bush. They indirectly told them that property management had no obligation to arrange accommodations.

In their anger and sorrow, the homeowners of the entire building had no choice but to look for accommodation nearby, just like her.

Having a home so close, yet unable to return...

"UP, the owner of unit 401 still hasn’t responded. We’re preparing to call the police now. Is there anything we should pay attention to?" she typed with both hands, eagerly asking for advice, her attitude very sincere.

Just a few seconds later, Qin Mu replied, "Do you want to send the owner to jail, the property management to jail, or the construction team to jail?"

Looking at this response, Qing Lan’s eyes widened, and her breathing became rapid.

It was the familiar UP, the familiar style!

She quickly typed her response, "I want to send them all to jail!"

She had watched every one of Qin Mu’s videos and deeply felt that society indeed needed people who took things seriously. The reason for so much disorder was mainly that too many people didn’t take things seriously or confront the issues.

Take this incident of demolishing the load-bearing wall, for instance: the property management refused to take responsibility, pushing it onto the owner of unit 401. And the owner of unit 401, perhaps thinking it was no big deal, stubbornly refused to come forward.

After careful consideration, she couldn’t help but ask, "Property management is, at most, negligent. Can they be sent to jail for that?"

As for the construction team, she hadn’t thought that far ahead yet.

It wasn’t long before Qin Mu replied, "These people have all engaged in serious illegal and criminal activities. If you want to send them to jail, you can send them all.

"However, I suggest that if you want to send them all to jail, don’t rush to call the police yet.

"First, you need to gather complete evidence. Tomorrow, go to a professional housing appraisal institution and have them issue a house danger assessment report, which you’ll need for the lawsuit.

"Next, collect evidence of the property management’s inaction. It’s best to form a complete chain of evidence—for example, that you reported the issue, but the property management took no action. Let it simmer for a couple of days.

"Finally..."

In the hotel, Qing Lan looked at the comprehensive action plan Qin Mu had sent and couldn’t help but gulp. Although she didn’t quite understand it all, her instincts told her that the owner of unit 401, the property management, and the construction team were likely all heading for serious trouble.

「At the same time.」

Jin City. Qin Mu had just finished eating out and returned home.

He had sent Qing Lan a comprehensive plan. Thanks to his ’Photographic Memory’ skill, he was very knowledgeable about various laws. He even understood the Building Law, relevant to the construction field, thoroughly.

Situations like the demolition of a load-bearing wall undoubtedly constituted the criminal offense of endangering public safety by dangerous means. This was of the same nature as the high-altitude littering incidents he had encountered before. However, when Gao Feng threw the wine bottle, it hadn’t resulted in any consequences.
