Hidden moth

Chapter 85: The young bird takes over the nest

The next day, Gao Xue'e finally went to work reluctantly. To save time, she decided to take the subway from a nearby departure station, which was much faster than taking a taxi...

For three consecutive nights, He Kao did not practice the art of invisibility. He just took time out to practice Eight-Section Brocade, telepathy, stealth... and cooking when Gao Xue'e went to work.

Once the floodgates were opened, the surge was unstoppable. Gao Xue'e still left work on time and rushed home as early as possible. Whenever she had time at home, she would transform into a snow-white octopus, dancing around He Kao.

Gao Xue'e even felt that she was being too demanding. At first, she thought that this was a way to stop thinking about the things she didn't want to recall, so she always wanted to make He Kao more crazy and pursue more exciting feelings with her.

In the end, she had forgotten all this. There was no other reason, she just wanted to do it this way.

He Kao was always so energetic. Gao Xue'e never felt tired at work every day. Her physical and mental condition was actually getting better and better. Her skin was rosy and she looked radiant.

The weekend soon arrived again. Due to the long holidays, there was only one day off this weekend, Sunday. He Kao drove Gao Xue'e back to the Bishu Renjia community.

The name of this community is quite appropriate, as it has a nice green environment and the grass and trees are still lush in mid-October, which makes He Kao think of the distant Kuanchun City, where the park is already bleak.

He Kao helped Gao Xue'e replace the door lock she had bought. It was the same model as the one he had replaced on his front door. Even with He Kao's own skills, he couldn't pick this lock.

Of course, he didn't need to pick the lock because he had the key ready. Besides, as Yin'e, he didn't even need a key.

The house was surprisingly clean, as He Kao had done last time. Even the sheets were smooth, but they were soon messed up again... In this environment, he seemed particularly excited, and her feelings were also particularly intense.

It was clear that Gao Xue'e had recovered quite well, and she no longer rejected the idea of returning to her own home. It was as if coming here with He Kao had given the house a new lease of life, making it feel safer.

When the lovemaking took a break, He Kao suggested, "You should come back and live here. It will be more convenient for you to commute to get off work, and you won't have to travel such a long time every day."

Not only her, He Kao also had to go to work tomorrow. Going back and forth like that every day would take two or three hours on the road. It wouldn't matter if it was a last-minute thing, but it was definitely inconvenient to do it all the time.

Gao Xue'e lowered her head and said nothing, just drawing circles on his chest with her fingers.

He Kao knew what she was thinking and said softly, "If we still lived in Pugang Town, we would spend all our time commuting to and from get off work, and we wouldn't have time to exercise.

Don't worry, after you move back, I will often come to teach you how to practice Ba Duan Jin. Once you've mastered it, I can practice with you."

Gao Xue'e finally nodded and said, "Yes, that way you really won't have time to practice... Have I delayed your practice... I mean every night."

Gao Xue'e knew that He Kao had been practicing martial arts every night. Although she didn't know that He Kao was already a second-level assassin of the Yin'e Sect, she had long believed that he also possessed unique skills.

He Kao explained with a smile, "I do sit and practice meditation every night, but I forgot to practice these past few days. But it doesn't matter, it won't delay anything..."

Gao Xue'e suddenly had an idea and said, "Why don't I move to Sesame Apartments too? It's closer to the company... It would be best if we could live on the same floor, or upstairs or downstairs would be fine... Are there any vacancies there?"

He Kao was stunned: "What about here? Why don't we live in the ready-made house?"

Gao Xue'e said in a delicate voice, "I've already developed a psychological trauma about this place, so I might as well rent it out and then rent the largest two-bedroom apartment in Sesame Apartment. With one in and one out, I can still make some money from the monthly rent!"

In fact, He Kao didn't care where Gao Xue'e lived, as she could get there just by walking. But it was not easy to tell Gao Xue'e about this, so he just let her do as she pleased.

Gao Xue'e suddenly thought of something: "Xiao Kao, don't forget you have a house in Guanliu Community. It's only five subway stops from the office, the scenery and environment are very nice, and I heard the property management is good too."

What you think will come true. Just at this moment, lawyer Yao Shaolan came with news.

He Kao hadn't had to work these past few days and hadn't thought about anything else. It was only then that he remembered that he had given Lawyer Yao a full power of attorney. Lawyer Yao had already made some progress and wanted him to come to the office.

Gao Xue'e was just taking a rest at home, and she told He Kao to come back early as she planned to cook dinner herself.

When He Kao left the Bishu Renjia community, he felt relieved because Gao Xue'e had finally gotten out of the shadow of that incident and had basically recovered.

If it had been a few days ago, she wouldn't have dared go home. She remembered that He Kao had come with her on the night of October 5th, but in the end, He Kao went upstairs alone to get the things, while Gao Xue'e stayed in the car.

But today, Gao Xue'e not only returned home, but also agreed to stay home alone to rest, and even said she wanted to make dinner herself. It seems that empty words of comfort are far less effective than actual actions!

As for her saying that she wanted to rent out this apartment because she was still feeling uneasy, and then rent another apartment from Sesame Apartment, this was also normal. After all, anyone would feel a little uncomfortable. The fact that she could say it out loud meant that she was okay.

He Kao did not dissuade Gao Xue'e, he fully respected her wishes. In such a matter, Gao Xue'e was the only one who knew how she felt.

Yao Shaolan's office was surprisingly located right next to Guanliu Community, in an office building on the riverside. From the front door of this office building, it was only a few hundred meters to the southeast gate of Guanliu Community, without even having to cross the street.

It was only five subway stops from He Kao's company to here, and it took about fifteen minutes. He Kao drove his new car, and the traffic was a bit congested on the weekend, so it took him half an hour to get there.

Qiyuan is not near the sea, but the real estate market in recent years has hyped the concept of "river view properties", one of the purposes of which was to drive the development of new properties in the north bank of the river, away from the main urban area.

On the south bank of the river, close to the main urban area, the so-called river view properties are even more popular. The Guanliu community project developed 20 years ago is the most typical representative at the beginning of the century.

The housing prices in Qiyuan are not cheap. Although the real estate market has been sluggish in recent years, according to lawyer Yao Shaolan, He Kao's river-view apartment with four bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms in Guanliu Community is worth at least 6 million yuan on the second-hand market.

This refers to the actual transaction price, not the high price falsely marked by the agent.

When He Kao met with Lawyer Yao, the first thing he asked about was, of course, Old Qian's condition. Yao explained that although Qian was still unconscious, the elders of the clan hall were currently at the hospital, so she could find time to return to the office to handle some work.

He Kao breathed a sigh of relief. Qian Guran had been in a coma for over ten days, but he didn't seem overly concerned by Lawyer Yao, suggesting Qian's condition was relatively stable. Although He Kao felt more relaxed recently, he still had two major concerns. One was Qian Guran, a debt of gratitude; the other was Gu Yunteng, a source of resentment.

When it comes to business, Lawyer Yao explained which procedures she can handle now and which situations are more complicated.

The only thing he could do now was to transfer the title to the property. He Kao had already gotten all the necessary paperwork to retrieve the contents of his bank safe deposit box, so this time, he was already familiar with the process.

As long as the name change and transfer procedures are completed, He Kao will be the sole legal owner of the property... This is very important. When Lawyer Yao introduced it, he tapped the table with his fingers, just like a teacher tapping on the blackboard.

Even without the name change and transfer, He Kao, as Zhou Du's sole heir, still possessed this right. However, after completing the above formalities, many matters became more legitimate.

The second problem is that the house has been occupied by someone for twenty years.

Yao Shaolan's investigation results were consistent with Qian Guran's previous judgment. According to the registration date on the original real estate certificate, it was indeed the first batch of approvals that the developer obtained that year.

This group of people basically bought their houses in advance through internal channels. Some of them may have received them for free from the developers, such as relatives of certain bigwigs, etc. The meaning is self-evident.

For formal home buyers through public channels, even if they buy pre-sale houses in advance, the property certificate will not be issued so quickly, and it will take at least half a year.

Yao Shaolan did not assert out of thin air why Zhou Du had the house deed, she just introduced the facts of the investigation.

Zhou Du had probably never lived in that house. It was vacant for six months before it was occupied by the property management company. At the time, it was owned by the developer, Bada Group, and had been in use for ten years.

Ten years ago, this property management company was spun off from the Bada Group, and Guanliu Community changed its property management again. The current property management company has no connection with the original developer.

Of course, the house was not handed over to the new property management company, but remained in the hands of the original developer and was occupied by Gu Ziyuan, Gu Yunteng's son and a well-known young entrepreneur in Qiyuan City.

Gu Ziyuan originally used it as a private place for meeting and relaxing, and even renovated it. Now it has become his residence, which he visits several times a month. Two girls live there.

The girls are all relatively young, and I heard they are distant relatives, so they can barely be considered cousins.

My cousin is 23 years old now. I don't know how she met Gu Ziyuan when she was in school three years ago. My cousin is 19 years old now. She ran away from her hometown to Qiyuan a year ago. It was my cousin who introduced her to Gu Ziyuan.

Young Master Gu is a kind-hearted person. He often attends various charity events and his donations to charity are often reported.

Perhaps because he saw how young these two girls were and how hard it was for them to come to Qiyuan, a strange city, and work hard, he felt sympathy for them and offered them riverside apartments in Guanliu Community for free. I heard he even arranged leisurely jobs for them...

As for their relationship with Gu Ziyuan, Yao Shaolan didn't care, and He Kao didn't want to bother either. This kind of thing was perfectly normal for someone like Gu Ziyuan, and there were plenty of other situations where he could do things even better than this.

These circumstances were not difficult to investigate, and Yao Shaolan didn't even need to show up in person. After clarifying the situation, Yao Shaolan sent someone through the law firm to negotiate with the two girls and demand that they vacate the house.

Of course the two girls were unwilling to do so. They didn't know Zhou Du, so who the hell was He Kao? Besides, this matter had nothing to do with them. If they wanted to find someone, they should go find Young Master Gu.

In principle, it seems unnecessary to do this with property rights, and the people in the firm are not unfamiliar with the legal provisions, but in reality...

The firm sent someone to negotiate with Gu Ziyuan yesterday, but unsurprisingly, Gu Ziyuan didn't show up. A staff member from the Bada Group's legal department stepped in to negotiate with the firm.

Since he is a staff member of the Ministry of Legal Affairs, he certainly understands the law. He did not deny the legality of the property title, but questioned its authenticity and said that further investigation and confirmation were needed.

For example, he questioned the authenticity of the house purchase transaction because He Kao was unable to provide the original house purchase invoice.

The firm said that how to conduct the investigation was their business and He Kao had no obligation to cooperate. It would be enough for him to produce the original property certificate, unless the other party had the ability to disprove it.

The purchase invoice is only a prerequisite for applying for a real estate certificate, while the property title is the only proof of legal ownership.

But the Bada Legal Department still has a series of back-up plans. Its staff also stated that even if the authenticity of the documents is not a problem, there are still flaws in the procedures.

First, after Zhou Du received the title deed, he never came to complete the check-in procedures, and the property management company has no record of the handover. The owner's failure to formally take possession of the property is negligence on his part, and the developer still holds the responsibility for the property's safekeeping. Responsibility is power.

This statement is an attempt to avoid the issue of occupying the property over the years.

In turn, the other party also demanded from He Kao the house storage fees, community property fees and decoration costs over the years. A rough calculation, including the interest on the occupied funds, etc., was as high as more than one million!
The request was so high, and his attitude was clearly expressed in three words - no room for us.

This is the simplest case, but it also involves many complex issues that cannot be explained in a few words. According to the normal channels, He Kao can choose to negotiate. If the negotiation fails, he will have no choice but to sue.

The other party is asking for an exorbitant price, and we are willing to pay back the money. If we can't reach an agreement, we will go to court.

The matter wasn't over yet; the other party mentioned another matter. Zhou Du actually owed a developer under the Bada Group a huge sum of money, totaling two million.

The Guanliu property had been listed for just under two million yuan that year, barely enough to cover Zhou Du's debt. As Zhou Du's heir, He Kao inherited his estate and his debts.

By this calculation, not only will He Kao not be able to get the house back, but it seems that he will have to pay a large sum of money to the other party?
After hearing these, especially the last one, He Kao almost laughed out loud.

There has to be a limit to nonsense. My father Zhou Du was engaged in project construction and decoration. I have only heard of construction parties being owed project fees, material fees, and wages by developers, but I have never heard of any construction parties owing money to developers in return!

He Kao originally didn't care much about this house, but now he had to take it back.
