C21 – The Landlord Was Dumbfounded
However, in the next moment, the landlord was left speechless.
Su Ming, to everyone’s surprise, greeted and exchanged handshakes with one of the patrol officers.
They welcomed him with warmth.
It was these patrol officers who had accompanied Su Ming to the bank earlier in the day.
Upon descending the stairs, Su Ming encountered the two officers patrolling the vicinity.
This area was, after all, suburban, notorious for having a relatively elevated crime rate in the entire city.
Observing Su Ming, the two patrol officers exited their vehicle to greet him.
They had become somewhat familiar with each other.
But no sooner had they exchanged pleasantries, than the landlord’s laugh was heard, mocking him from aside.
“Mr. Su, is this the landlord you were referring to?”
Inquired one of the patrol officers.
“Indeed.”
Su Ming affirmed with a nod.
Could this three-million-dollar BMW possibly belong to Su Ming?
Impossible!
Su Ming had been her tenant for three full years.
She believed she knew all there was to know about him.
He hailed from a rural area with parents leading simple, agricultural lives.
Formerly, Su Ming held a regular position in a company before losing his job; now he was unemployed.
How could he possibly own such a luxury vehicle?
How could he be affluent?
“I appreciate your diligence.”
Su Ming smiled warmly at the officers.
“No issue. Maintaining societal harmony and securing public life and property is our responsibility.”
An officer suggested, “Mr. Su, please resume your activities. We’ll inform you post our inquiry here.”
“Understood.”
Su Ming assented, boarded his BMW, and left.
The officers escorted the landlord to the third floor and after examining the house’s interior, one remarked, “Appliances here barely worth a thousand, and you demand thirty thousand? You’re under suspicion of fraud. Await your court summons.”Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only
