An hour later, Director Liu called back.
"Master Hou, I found it! The relocation records from back then show that this house was indeed allocated to you! Your daughter-in-law claimed she was paying the additional area fee on your behalf and had the property certificate issued in your son's name!"
"It states that you agreed to this, and your signature is on file as proof."
I nearly fainted upon hearing this.
"I never agreed to anything! That signature isn't mine; I had no idea about this at all."
"This... this does raise suspicions of fraud!"
"Now that your son wants to sell the house, the situation is even more serious!"
"What should we do?"
"I'll report it to the police immediately! They are supposed to transfer ownership this afternoon, right? We'll catch them in the act!"
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Manager Wang arrived with the buyers.
My spouse and I hid in the stairwell, watching them go upstairs.
Director Liu had already contacted the police station, and the officers were on their way.
At three o'clock, just as Hou Zuo Qing and the buyers were about to sign the contract, the police arrived.
"Officers, what brings you here?" Hou Zuo Qing asked nervously.
"Hou Zuo Qing, someone reported you for suspected fraud. Please cooperate with our investigation."
"Fraud? What have I defrauded?"
"Do you have the right to sell this house?"
"Of course! The property certificate is in my name!"
"But the relocation records show that this house was allocated to your father, Hou Deyuan. Were you aware of that?"
Hou Zuo Qing's face turned pale instantly.
Wang Li whispered beside him, "What should we do, dear?"
"Don't say anything!" Hou Zuo Qing hissed at her.
The police continued, "You two deceived the elderly under the pretense of paying an additional area fee to obtain his relocation certificate, then had the property certificate issued in your own names. This is already suspected fraud. Now that you're trying to sell the house, the situation is even more serious."
"I... I didn't commit fraud! This house is mine!" Hou Zuo Qing continued to argue.
"Whether it's yours or not, the court will decide. Now please cooperate with the investigation."
At that moment, I stepped out of the stairwell.
When Hou Zuo Qing saw me, a flicker of panic crossed his eyes. "Dad... you..."
"How dare you still call me Dad?" I looked at my own son, my heart aching. "You forced us to live in the stairwell, and now you want to sell my house. How can you still call me Dad?"
"Dad, let me explain..."
"Explain what?" I pointed at him, my voice trembling. "You deceived me out of my relocation certificate back then, and now you want to sell the house. What are you planning?"
More and more neighbors gathered around, whispering among themselves.
"Is this the son who drove his parents out of their home?"
"He wants to sell the house too? That's outrageous!"
"A son like this is simply inhumane!"
Hearing the neighbors' comments, Hou Zuo Qing's face turned bright red.
"Don't talk nonsense! Legally, this house is mine!"
"Legally yours, but what about your conscience?" a neighbor shouted.
"Exactly! You forced your own parents to live in a stairwell and still have the nerve to argue here!"
The police intervened, saying, "Everyone disperse. We will handle this according to the law."
Then they turned to Hou Zuo Qing and said, "You need to come with us."
Watching my son being taken away, I suddenly felt a mix of emotions.
Was I happy? Yes. Finally, someone was standing up for me.
Was I sad? Even more so. After all, he was the son I raised with my own hands.
But I knew that at this point, there was no turning back.
