A man spoke as he pulled a red certificate from his briefcase, the words "Property Ownership Certificate" embossed in gold on the cover glaringly obvious. Lao Lu snatched the property certificate, trembling as he opened it. There, in clear print, was the information about his daughter's house, and in the section for property owner, the name "Chen Rong" was unmistakably written.
Lao Lu stared in disbelief, his eyes wide and his lips quivering. After a long pause, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "This... how is this possible? This is my daughter's house!"
Chen Rong was startled by his sudden outburst and instinctively took a step back. She explained, "Mr. Lu, are you... are you mistaken? I have already transferred ownership of this house; all the procedures are legal. Look..."
Lao Lu pushed the property certificate away angrily and shouted, "Impossible! My daughter is perfectly fine; how could her house be sold to you! You need to explain this to me!"
Chen Rong was frightened by his demeanor but still tried to remain patient. "Mr. Lu, please calm down. This house was sold to me by someone named Zhang Chen. He claimed to be the legal owner of this property, and all the paperwork is complete. I verified it..."
"Zhang Chen?" Lao Lu paused for a moment, his expression turning even more grim. "You said Zhang Chen sold you the house?"
Chen Rong nodded cautiously and said, "Yes... yes, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Lao Lu did not respond. He staggered back into the house, grabbed his phone, and tremblingly dialed Zhang Chen's number.
"Beep... beep... beep..." The cold mechanical voice on the other end of the line rang out, but no one answered.
Lao Lu stubbornly redialed again and again, but the result was always the same.
He slumped onto the sofa, a deep sense of helplessness washing over him.
The five characters on the cover that read "Real Estate Ownership Certificate" seemed to mock his ignorance and powerlessness. His lips trembled as he pointed at the unfamiliar name on the certificate and asked with difficulty, "What... what is going on? How could my daughter's house... what happened?" Hearing the commotion, his wife walked out of the room and immediately asked with concern upon seeing Lao Lu's expression.
Lao Lu weakly shook his head, threw his phone aside, and muttered to himself, "Zhang Chen... Zhang Chen..."
Seeing this, his wife quickly poured a glass of water.
Chen Rong was startled by Lao Lu's angry tone and nervously explained, "Mr. Lu, please don't get agitated. I bought this house through a legitimate agency, and all the paperwork is complete. If you don't believe me, you can..."
"Shut up!" Lao Lu slammed his hand on the coffee table, causing the tea in the cup to shake violently and splash out a few drops.
Mother Lu gently patted his back and comforted him softly, "Lao Lu, don't rush. Take your time and tell me what happened."
Lao Lu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and recounted what had just occurred to his wife.
"What?!" His wife's face turned pale as she listened. "Are you saying that Jiajia's house was sold by Zhang Chen? How... how is that possible? Jiajia..."
"My daughter passed away three years ago. The house has been empty for three years; how could it possibly be sold to you?" Lao Lu said. At this point, his wife suddenly seemed to remember something. She jumped up and rushed into their daughter's room, rummaging through everything.
"What... what are you looking for?" Lao Lu asked in confusion.
His wife's voice was hoarse, her bloodshot eyes fixed on Chen Rong as if she were trying to see through him.
Chen Rong felt even more helpless. He pulled out his phone and searched for the purchase contract, saying in a panic, "Mr. Lu, I... I really don't know. This is the contract the agency gave me; look..."
"The contract! Jiajia told me before that she bought an insurance policy with you as the beneficiary. I remember she put the contract in her room; let me go find it!" His wife said anxiously while continuing to search.
Finally, in a corner of a drawer, the wife found the forgotten insurance policy.
Lao Lu took the contract, opened it, and his face instantly turned pale.
In the beneficiary section, the name "Zhang Chen" was prominently written!
