Among these over three hundred packages, only a small portion were genuinely local specialties. The majority were either legal books, handcuffs, batons, or lawyer's wigs. The most outrageous item was a piece of underwear. After looking through these "local specialties," Qin Mu's expression darkened. He quickly took out his cellphone, snapped a photo, and sent it to Qing Lan with a question.

Not long after, Qing Lan immediately replied, "I swear, the underwear wasn't from me! What I sent was a complete set of legal books! Here's the thing, these property owners felt that Zizhou's local specialties were limited, and sending the same things would seem too perfunctory and insincere. So, they decided to send law-related novelty items..."

After reading Qing Lan's explanation, Qin Mu found it both amusing and frustrating. He actually wished these property owners *had* been a bit more perfunctory. The items they sent almost made him want to turn around and sue them for intimidation. Handcuffs and batons could definitely constitute criminal intimidation.

After understanding the whole situation, Qin Mu, along with Old Zhang and the others, finished unwrapping all the packages and distributed the items. The few genuine local specialties went to Old Zhang and the others. The legal books went to Wang Dachui. As for the handcuffs and similar items, no one at the nursing home wanted them, so he had no choice but to keep them himself.

「In the following days.」

Qin Mu's life returned to its peaceful routine. The nursing home was also full of joy and laughter. Aside from work, he would find time to study the system's trigger and reward mechanisms. Currently, the system's trigger mechanism for various events remained random. For instance, Qing Lan's recent load-bearing wall removal incident had not passively triggered the system. As for the rewards, they were also randomly generated after completing new event tasks. Luck didn't seem to significantly influence them.

Meanwhile, he currently had a 500-point luck bonus. Every day after work, he would go to a lottery shop near the nursing home and buy a lottery ticket to try his luck. But what confused him was that despite purchasing lottery tickets so many times, he simply hadn't won a single prize.

Should I go to the lottery shop and ask what's going on? As he was about to leave work, Qin Mu couldn't help but mutter to himself. This situation is really strange. My luck... it couldn't all be used up on guaranteeing my videos go viral and I win every lawsuit, could it?

"Xiao Qin, I... there's something I'd like to ask your advice on."

Just as he was about to leave work, Zhang Qingyuan suddenly approached him, his face etched with worry and his brow deeply furrowed.

Qin Mu paused for a moment, then nodded. "Go ahead."

After distributing the local specialties, he had noticed something was off about Old Zhang. He'd stopped playing his favorite game of Chinese chess, wasn't joining mahjong games anymore, and often hid in a corner, sighing to himself. Initially, Qin Mu had thought Old Zhang was just homesick, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

"It's like this," Zhang Qingyuan began, sighing again. "My son bought an apartment in a residential complex in Jin City five years ago, but... it's been illegally occupied by someone ever since."

"Illegally occupied?" Qin Mu frowned, not quite understanding.

"We bought it off-plan. After taking possession, we left it vacant for a while. When we were finally ready to renovate, we discovered a middle-aged couple had occupied it. They've been living there for three years now."

As he spoke about this, Zhang Qingyuan's face was etched with frustration and helplessness. "We've reasoned with them, tried to evict them, but they just refuse to leave. This year, my son didn't want to continue this struggle any longer and decided to sell the apartment. But this couple keeps actively preventing potential buyers from viewing it, refusing entry to anyone, so now we can't even sell it..."

After listening to the whole story, Qin Mu's eyes widened in disbelief. Unbelievable. For something so outrageous to actually happen... Squatters taking over the rightful owner's home! And they've been living there for three years! What baffles me is, how did this middle-aged couple get utilities like water and electricity for three years without Old Zhang's family's permission? Surely the property management wouldn't aid and abet them by turning on the utilities, right?

"It actually was the property management who turned them on for them. My son went to ask. The property management said they had no choice; the middle-aged couple would cry, throw tantrums, and even threaten to kill themselves. If they didn't turn on the utilities, the couple would just camp out at the property management office and cause a huge fuss..." Zhang Qingyuan gave a wry smile, sighing again as he spoke.

Qin Mu's mouth twitched. He said with exasperation, "Then sue them! Take them straight to court! What's the point of reasoning with people like that?"

Their blatant occupation of someone else's property and refusal to return it is an extremely egregious act. The court would definitely accept such a case.

"We did sue," Zhang Qingyuan said, shaking his head. "We sued them two years ago. We even won the case. The court ordered them to compensate for property damage, emotional distress, and lost wages, and also mandated their eviction."

At this point, his expression turned somber again. "But they just carried on as usual, haven't paid a cent, and are still living in the apartment. Bailiffs from the enforcement division of the court even went to carry out a forced eviction, but they wouldn't even open the door. The bailiffs didn't dare to force entry by breaking the lock, so the matter has been dragged out until now..."

After hearing this, Qin Mu fell silent. From Old Zhang's description, this squatting middle-aged couple is clearly acting with impunity. They're even defying a court order!
