According to regulations, within fifteen days after a ruling is issued, if one does not comply with the decision, they can apply for a retrial or continue to appeal. But this middle-aged couple had no intention of either. It was clear they considered themselves above everyone else; none could sway them. Even enforcement court officials were denied entry.

In reality, situations where the enforcement court cannot execute its rulings are not uncommon. Take, for example, "nail households" during evictions. If someone simply refused to move out, no one dared to forcibly remove them, because if a life were lost in the process, no one could bear the responsibility. As time passed, these issues just dragged on. Those who occupied property not belonging to them, like cuckoos taking over other birds' nests, did so fearlessly and disregarded the law. Meanwhile, those whose property was occupied not only suffered the loss of an apartment but also endured severe distress. Now, Old Zhang's son couldn't even sell his apartment.

After Zhang Qingyuan finished explaining the circumstances, he sighed deeply once more. He looked at Qin Mu, pleading, "Xiao Qin, do you have any options? We're really out of options. We've sued, we've talked, and we don't dare use brute force. They are just too shameless..."

In this society, people who are shameless are truly invincible. Especially the more honest ones, who are more susceptible to being bullied. This type of rogue behavior is even avoided by property management. It's said that in the neighborhood, since they occupied the apartment, they haven't paid a dime in property fees for three years. The property management doesn't even dare to cut off their water or electricity.

Qin Mu took a deep breath. Just as he was about to comfort Zhang Qingyuan, he heard the long-missed voice of the system in his mind.

"DING! A new incident has occurred around the host, triggering a new mission branch."

"Currently, the host has three task options:

One, remain uninvolved and declare inability to assist.

Two, actively seek a solution to help Zhang Tao sell the apartment.

Three, uphold fairness and justice, and deliver a stark warning to such shameless defaulters."

"DING! Each task has a different level of difficulty. Based on this level and the degree of completion, the host can receive random rewards after settlement."

After hearing the message about the system task being triggered, Qin Mu did not hesitate at all. He decisively chose the third option.

The first and second options weren't even in his consideration. The system's third option was always the most difficult, and the rewards were the richest. It was also what he most wanted to do.

"Xiao Qin?"

Seeing Qin Mu lost in thought, Zhang Qingyuan couldn't help but tug at his sleeve. Qin Mu snapped back to reality.

He smiled slightly. "Old Zhang, don't worry too much. Perhaps they have some hardship we don't know about; maybe they have nowhere else to live."

Zhang Qingyuan frowned and said discontentedly, "What are you talking about? Having nowhere to live doesn't justify occupying someone else's apartment."

Qin Mu calmly continued, "That's why I think if we help them solve their accommodation problem, they should become much more cooperative."

Zhang Qingyuan was stunned again. He couldn't understand the meaning behind Qin Mu's words. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you saying... to rent them an apartment?"

They had never considered this solution before; it was indeed infuriating. To have one's apartment occupied by someone else, and then to have to help them rent another place!

Qin Mu rolled his eyes. He scoffed, "There's a place with very cheap housing—in fact, they wouldn't even need to rent. It has good property management and security, no need for furniture, and it's very suitable for them."

For such people... he could think of no other way to 'educate' them. They had occupied an apartment someone else bought for a full three years. When the owner wanted to sell it, they blatantly hindered the sale. Their shameless behavior was absolutely disgusting.

"Don't keep me in suspense! What do you mean exactly?" Zhang Qingyuan, failing to understand for a moment, grew anxious.

Qin Mu, however, said, "You can call your son now. Tell him to prepare to go to court and file a lawsuit."

Zhang Qingyuan was stunned again. Then he shook his head with a bitter smile. "Filing a lawsuit is useless. We've sued before, and they completely ignored the court's ruling..."

Actually, after witnessing Qin Mu's impressive track record, he had also thought of suing again. But remembering the outcome of the lawsuit two years ago, he couldn't help but feel disheartened. So what if we win the lawsuit? That couple paid no heed to the court or the enforcement court. When people from the enforcement court arrived at the scene, they couldn't even get in the door.

"Your previous lawsuit was based on the wrong charge. Try a different one, and it will surely work," Qin Mu said with a smile. "The previous time Old Zhang's son sued, it was merely over property occupation—a civil dispute. For such cases, the court's enforcement power was very limited. The enforcement court also didn't dare to act forcefully, fearing adverse social repercussions. But a criminal case is different! As long as the charge stands, this middle-aged couple will have no option but to move! There's a much more spacious place waiting for them!"

"Really?" Trusting Qin Mu, Zhang Qingyuan was both skeptical and hopeful. He dialed his son, Zhang Tao, and relayed the news.

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Tao's first reaction upon hearing the news was disbelief. "Dad, are you getting muddled in your old age? We've already sued before. That couple has no shame; so what if we win? We'll still have to pay the court and lawyer fees..."

Zhang Qingyuan, however, steeled his face. Summoning his fatherly authority, he scoffed, "Just prepare as I told you. Do you have a better idea?"

With that statement, Zhang Tao was momentarily stunned but ultimately agreed to proceed.
