Chapter 25 Fraudulent Contract

Jiang Yitong also imagined Jiang Peng's past, but she didn't expect it to be so tragic.

His friend betrayed him, his wife passed away, and he moved away from home.

Everything is enough to destroy a person.

After chatting, the two slowly walked to Uncle Le's grocery store.

"Anyway, I'm still bothering you about Xiaohu these days."

"It's a small matter." Jiang Yitong smiled and then added: "We should be considered friends now."

"Yeah, of course." Jiang Peng nodded.

"Since we are friends, this little thing really doesn't mean anything."

"..." After hearing Jiang Yitong's words, Jiang Peng didn't know how to respond.

At this moment, Uncle Le's doubtful voice came to my ears.

"Uncle Le, what's wrong?"

Jiang Peng turned his head, took a few steps forward, and came to Uncle Le's side.

Uncle Le was wearing a pair of reading glasses, sitting on a small bench, frowning at several stapled A4 papers, and couldn't stop mumbling.

"Uncle Le, what's wrong?"

Hearing Jiang Peng's inquiry, Uncle Le took off his reading glasses, rubbed his brows, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Jiang, you came just in time. Xiao Chen suddenly came back in the afternoon and brought a contract, saying it was a house sales contract.

He said that someone was willing to pay a big price to buy my old house. He said it in a hurry in the afternoon. I didn't listen carefully and signed the contract in a daze. No, I'm thinking about it now."

After Jiang Peng heard this, he immediately felt something was wrong. How could such a big thing as selling a house be solved in one afternoon? It was Zhou Chen who brought the contract.

"Uncle Le, can you lend me the contract?"

Uncle Le nodded and handed the contract to Jiang Peng.

Jiang Peng took the contract and looked at it carefully.

A very common house sales contract is in both Chinese and Thai. Jiang Peng looked through the contract.

I found out that the other party offered a very high price, which was more than enough to buy Uncle Le's old house.

Although Jiang Peng felt something was wrong, he didn't have much contact with the contract. After looking at it for a while, he didn't see any clues.

Just on the last page buyers and sellers saw familiar names.

"AAA company?"

Jiang Peng frowned and read out the name.

"What?"

Jiang Yitong on the side heard the words 3A company and became interested. He walked to Jiang Peng, looked at the contract in his hand, and asked.

"Is this a contract from 3A Company?"

Jiang Peng nodded and asked Uncle Le.

"Uncle Le, when Zhou Chen gave you this contract to sign, did you say anything?"

Uncle Le recalled it for a while and replied.

"Xiao Chen said something like, 'This opportunity is rare, and the other party is willing to pay a big price.'

He also said that I had lived in the house for so many years and would have to change it sooner or later. Anyway, he kept urging me to sign the contract.

I haven’t seen Xiaochen for a long time. Seeing that he was anxious, I signed it without asking him carefully."

"Where are the Zhou Chen people?"

"Xiaochen left early with the other two contracts."

As soon as Uncle Le finished speaking, Jiang Yitong immediately spoke.

"Show me the contract."

Jiang Peng handed the contract to Jiang Yitong.

Jiang Yitong took the contract and looked at it.

After a while, he frowned and said, "There is something wrong with this contract."

"What's the problem?" Jiang Peng was a little surprised. There was something really wrong with this contract, and he didn't even notice it.

Jiang Yitong narrowed his eyes slightly and walked to Uncle Le's side.

"Uncle Le, hello!"

Although this was not the first time Uncle Le met Jiang Yitong, he still didn't know his name.

"Uncle Le, she is my friend, her name is Jiang Yitong, and she is a reporter." Seeing that Uncle Le was a little confused, Jiang Peng quickly explained.

Explain.

Uncle Le was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Is your surname also Jiang?"

Jiang Yitong smiled.

"I am the river of rivers."

Uncle Le scratched his head.

"Reporter Jiang, what a joke."

Jiang Yitong shook his head, indicating that it was okay.

"Uncle Le, I would like to ask, after signing this contract in triplicate, have you received the deposit?"

After hearing this, Uncle Le hesitated for a while, glanced at Jiang Peng and Jiang Yitong, then gritted his teeth and answered.

"I accepted it. In the afternoon, Xiaochen brought back a bank card with one-third of the total amount in it. It was said to be a deposit. As long as the contract is signed, the deposit can be collected. The remaining money will be paid when the house is handed over.

"

"This is bad." Jiang Yitong sighed, picked up the contract and continued. "Uncle Le, you may not believe it, but what I say next is the truth."

Looking at Jiang Yitong's face, Uncle Le also felt something was wrong.

"Reporter Jiang, don't worry, after signing this contract this afternoon, I also felt a little strange, but I don't have any knowledgeable friends around me, so I can only figure it out on my own."

"Uncle Le, you were deceived." Jiang Yitong's words were like a bomb.

"What?" Uncle Le was stunned.

"I have reported on some news about house sale and purchase disputes, and I have some knowledge about this aspect. This contract is a trap contract. I am sure that it was made by professionals. Most people will not be able to discover the trap dug by this contract.

Uncle Le, what you are signing is actually a house subscription, which is a contract before signing a formal house sales contract. The requirement here is that once this contract is signed, both parties shall not modify the terms of the house sales contract when they formally sign the contract.

At the same time, Zhou Chen is entrusted as your authorized agent.

In other words, once Uncle Le signs this contract, you give up your right to consultation and negotiation.

The house sales contract that appears in this contract is just an example and has no legal effect, and the amount above is just a demonstration.

The real transaction amount is the deposit you received.

After you receive the deposit and confirm that you have sold the house, the subsequent house sales contract is just a formality contract.

If you breach the contract, you must pay five times the liquidated damages as a penalty, which is clearly written in the contract."

What Jiang Yitong said was a bit complicated. Uncle Le was a little confused, but Jiang Peng probably understood it.

He took the contract back, scanned it again, and found that the substantial transaction amount was indeed in the example house sales contract.

However, the word "example" is very small. If you don't look carefully, you can't see the example sales contract included in the subscription form.

"Reporter Jiang, I don't quite understand what you're talking about..." Uncle Le was still a little confused, so Jiang Peng spoke.

"Uncle Le, let's put it this way, the transaction price of the house you saw is just a false amount. The contract you signed and the money you received means that you have sold the house. If you regret it, you need to pay five times.

liquidated damages."

"What?" After hearing this, Uncle Le's vision went dark and he almost fainted. Fortunately, Jiang Peng held him up.

"Here, how can the money given to me be enough? Didn't Xiaochen say that the money is one-third of the total amount? How could it be like this?" Uncle Le was helped to his seat by Jiang Peng, sweating all over his head.

Jiang Peng and Jiang Yitong looked at each other, and the same thought flashed through their minds, that is, Uncle Le's son, Zhou Chen, had a problem. Why did they include Zhou Chen in the contract to become Uncle Le's authorized agent?

"Uncle Le, please tell us what happened before Zhou Chen came back in the afternoon." Jiang Peng said with a solemn expression.

Uncle Le let out a long breath and told Jiang Peng and Jiang Yitong exactly what happened in the afternoon.

Jiang Peng and Jiang Yitong felt suspicious after hearing half of it. After listening patiently to Uncle Le's story, Jiang Yitong finally asked.

"Uncle Le, do you know where Zhou Chen works?"

Uncle Le shook his head.
