These actions were rather malicious. Once they occurred, the court would likely accept the case, and the victim would have the right to demand civil compensation. And these actions mostly went beyond re words, involving insults to a person’s dignity and physical well-being. Typical verbal disputes didn’t escalate to such a severe level of maliciousness.
"Then that’s settled. I’ll pass this good news on to everyone."
With Qin Mu’s backing, Qing Lan was very happy. She then opened the rights protection group and shared techniques with everyone on how to curse people without committing a cri.
For instance, previously in the hoowners’ group, soone had threatened to beat up the owner of apartnt 401, but it was just a verbal altercation. It didn’t even count as preparation for the cri of intimidation. As long as no action was taken, even saying you wanted to kill soone was harmless.
After receiving "professional guidance," people no longer held back and, whenever idle, would target the owner of apartnt 401 in the hoowners’ group, urging her to provide a solution quickly. However, after being berated, the owner of apartnt 401 went silent again and vanished.
「The next day.」
In the morning, Qing Lan went to Yuefu Jiangnan District. She received a professional assessnt report issued by a housing safety evaluation agency. In the report, a comprehensive assessnt was conducted on Building 7. The entire building was rated as Grade D.
"Based on our assessnt, this building is no longer suitable for habitation. It’s confird to be a condemned building, and it could collapse at any mont. It’s best not to enter it and to evacuate nearby residents," one of the employees from the assessnt agency cautioned explicitly when handing over the report.
Qing Lan looked at the "Grade D" written on the assessnt report and gritted her teeth in anger!
The building’s condition had deteriorated to the point of being condemned. But the property managent, up to this point, had taken no action whatsoever—not even evacuating people or setting up a restricted zone. Residents from other buildings within the residential complex still occasionally passed under Building 7, which was extrely dangerous.
She took a deep breath and posted the housing safety assessnt report in the rights protection group. It imdiately sparked outrage and anger among other hoowners.
"What the heck is the property managent doing? Why didn’t they evaluate it imdiately after the incident, and instead make us hoowners do the evaluation ourselves?"
"If we hadn’t done the assessnt, who would have known that the building has beco this dangerous?"
"These property managers usually treat the residential complex and the building as their private property, but now that sothing has happened, they couldn’t care less!"
"It could collapse at any ti, and there’s not even a warning line..."
In the rights protection group, everyone was denouncing the owner of apartnt 401 and the property managent.
Finally, Qing Lan said, "We have the assessnt report now. We can call the police!"
By this ti, they had all the necessary evidence. The inaction of the property managent was also confird. But before calling the police, Qing Lan specifically took photos near Building 7, collecting a series of evidence docunting the property managent’s inaction.
「Half an hour later.」
At the Yuefu Jiangnan District property managent center.
Zhang Jiayi looked bewildered as he faced the police officers before him, gulping involuntarily.
"Hello, you are the property manager, right? Currently responsible for the property managent of Yuefu Jiangnan District?" one of the leading police officers asked in a stern voice.
Zhang Jiayi blankly nodded his head. A flicker of shock passed through his eyes.
He hadn’t expected... that this group of hoowners would actually call the police!
"One of the buildings in your residential complex has beco condemned. Are you aware of this?" the police officer continued.
Zhang Jiayi hesitated for a mont, unable to resist retorting, "How has it beco condemned? It just has so cracks, a minor issue. People can still live in it..."
A building with "minor problems" is vastly different from a condemned building. If a building is deed condemned, it must be reported to the relevant authorities, safety asures must be implented, and it should be prepared for demolition to eliminate safety hazards. And in their upscale residential complex... if a condemned building were to appear, the reputation of their property managent and the developers would likely be ruined.
"Habitable?"
Behind the police officer, Qing Lan scoffed coldly. She then threw out an assessnt report.
"I’ve already had it assessed by a professional institution. The building’s safety rating has been downgraded to Grade D; it’s completely uninhabitable!"
Zhang Jiayi’s face suddenly turned pale after reading the assessnt report. Having dealt with property matters, he knew exactly what a Grade D rating implied.
That ant... it had to be demolished! And this matter was about to blow up completely.
Thinking about this, he couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Alright, you have the contact information for the owner of unit 401, right?" the police officer said straightforwardly. "The assessnt report shows that there has been a significant change in the load-bearing structure of the building, with the root cause identified on the fourth floor. We have conducted an onsite inspection, and the load-bearing wall of unit 401 has indeed been removed."
"Give the owner of 401 a call and ask her to co to the property managent center imdiately to assist with the investigation."
Zhang Jiayi swallowed hard. But he didn’t dare disobey the police officer’s request. He reluctantly made a call to the owner of apartnt 401, who was also his cousin, Ouyang Qian.
BEEP.
After a brief ringing tone, the call connected, and an impatient, sharp female voice ca through.
"Why are you calling again? I apologized yesterday. What more do these hoowners want?"
"The construction team should be repairing the load-bearing wall in 401 today. It should be fine after today."
"These hoowners are unreasonable, cursing in the group; they are verbally abusing . I don’t want to deal with them anymore..."
Before Zhang Jiayi could speak, Ouyang Qian rattled off a litany of complaints, her voice filled with dissatisfaction and grievance.
Zhang Jiayi swallowed hard again. Just as he was about to speak, the police officer took his phone and said into it, "Hello, this is the Zizhou Police Station. You are currently suspected in a case of endangering public safety by dangerous ans. Please co to the property managent center imdiately to assist our investigation."
On the other end of the line, the complaining voice abruptly stopped, its owner seemingly taken aback. But a few seconds later, she still tried to argue, "Even if you’re the police, you have to be reasonable! I just did so simple renovations. The building cracked—who can prove it was because I demolished the load-bearing wall?"
"Moreover, I have already instructed the construction team to repair the load-bearing wall on site today. If there’s an issue with the building, you should go after the developers, not ."
"I am currently out and don’t have ti to co back." Towards the end, she simply stated she couldn’t co to the location.
The police officer’s expression darkened. "The construction team you ntioned has been detained by us on suspicion of causing a major construction safety accident. We are summoning you now. Please cooperate!"
Earlier, when they went to apartnt 401, they happened to encounter the construction team working, attempting to rebuild the load-bearing wall. However, with the housing safety assessnt report in hand, the building had already been confird as condemned. It was irreparable and could only be demolished and rebuilt. Furthermore, due to the cri Qing Lan reported, after verification, they imdiately detained several key personnel from the construction team. They were now being held in a police car outside the residential complex.
"I’m warning you again: evading a police summons carries criminal liability. If you continue to refuse cooperation, we will have to compel your appearance!"
When Ouyang Qian fell silent on the phone, the officer continued his stern warning.
Generally speaking, police summonses are divided into administrative summons and criminal summons. For an administrative summons, if one fails to appear without a justified reason, the police have the right to enforce their appearance. And for a criminal summons... if one fails to appear without a valid reason, they can be directly subjected to a compulsory summons to appear.
