Yao Shaolan laughed, "You're not just taking issue with me personally, but with the entire legal field."
He Kao: "Don't get me wrong, I was mainly referring to the United States earlier, not the Eastern Country. I'm not necessarily targeting the legal and judicial circles, it's just a perspective that can apply to all similar situations or principles."
Yao Shaolan: "Let's stick to the facts. The situation is quite simple, Eldest Young Master Gu is unwilling. What he already has in his hands, you think you can just take it back? That's his mindset."
He Kao: "With Gu Ziyuan's wealth, he shouldn't be short of such a property, right? Even if Bada Group goes bankrupt, it doesn't affect his personal assets."
Yao Shaolan: "You've never encountered hooligans before, simply because you've never been to such places or experienced such things."
He Kao: "Lawyer Yao, you didn't specifically ask me to meet today just to discuss these things, did you?"
Yao Shaolan: "I want to ask first, what is your psychological bottom line regarding this matter?"
He Kao: "My principles? First of all, it must be legal. Don't look at how much I've criticized just now, but I still want to be a law-abiding citizen.
Secondly, I just want to get back what is mine. I can forgo pursuing the years of usage fees from the other party. That's a messy account, but I also won't pay them fees.
No matter what kind of renovation or property fees, I won't voluntarily pay."
If it were another client, Yao Shaolan might stop here. What follows would be the client's own decision, whether to negotiate or sue, or sue and then choose an out-of-court settlement or wait for the final judgment.
Yao Shaolan took a deep breath, exhaled again, and said, "If you choose to sue the other party, I won't accept the commission, let alone become your attorney.
After all, Gu Ziyuan is Gu Yunteng's son. Gu Yunteng is still my uncle in the Qi Observation Sect. If it gets into the eyes of the Magic Sect members, they'll think something's wrong with the Qi Observation Sect, and insist on taking it to court?"
This sounded like a refusal; she declined to be He Kao's attorney because of her connection to Gu Yunteng.
He Kao, however, picked up on the subtext and asked further, "You can't be my plaintiff attorney, so you don't suggest I sue them; what kind of commission can you accept then?"
Yao Shaolan truly didn't want to say it directly, so she asked back, "What do you think?"
He Kao tentatively suggested, "Could it be as the defendant's attorney?"
Yao Shaolan nodded, "If the other party chooses to sue you proactively, I was originally your attorney, and out of professional ethics, I should help you respond to the lawsuit."
He Kao was slightly puzzled, "The house is in their hands, why would they sue me?"
Yao Shaolan couldn't help but tap her fingers on the table, "Precisely because the house is in their hands, you end up being so passive. If the house is already in your hands, then you're the legal property owner and you would have full control.
By then, if they want to ask you for fees, they'd need to provide a legal reason, and reasonable numbers... If you don't want to pay, let them go ahead and sue you!"
"Isn't the issue circling back then? How can the house get into my hands?" He Kao suddenly realized, shifted his tone, and leaned forward, "Lawyer Yao, what do I need to do?"
Yao Shaolan pinned her hand on her forehead and finally laid it out clearly, "Very simply, just need a locksmith company and a moving company... and then change the lock."
So that's it! Yao Shaolan was not just a lawyer but also a disciple of the Qi Observation Sect. What she learned there wasn't just technique, but also quite a bit of Jianghu know-how, and with so many years of practicing law, she's seen countless bad tricks.
Since this is a bad trick, she usually wouldn't want to mention it, except today because she was sitting across from He Kao.
He Kao: "I understand what you mean, I'll give it a try."
Yao Shaolan shook her head, "No no no, you personally cannot appear, you don't need to appear at all in the entire process.
There are two young girls living there. Be careful not to be plant framed by someone on purpose, saying you harassed them or such. If that's the case, with the current atmosphere, you'd probably be in trouble.
Give me the original house deed, signed ID copies designated for use, and supplementary full authorization of power. I'll have a lady from the firm handle it, she's also a Guest of Fate."
Yao Shaolan's plan was like this: first, complete the house deed change procedures, then take the house deed with He Kao's name to property management to get the access card for the district and building.
In other words, when the time comes, He Kao and his representative can freely enter and exit the district but cannot enter his apartment.
At this point, you need to find a locksmith company to open the door when those two girls aren't around. The moving company comes in, takes all movable belongings away, and changes the lock on site.
The moving process has a lawyer present, with detailed records of the entire process. From entering the place, everything including the packaging and transport is recorded and saved for response inspections.
For humanitarian reasons and to avoid legal disputes, the items moved out cannot be left on the street. The agent will rent another place to store the items.
He Kao is really kind-hearted. He suggests renting an apartment in the E-Times District; it's also a new project developed by Bada Group. If there are many items, one apartment is not enough, then rent two.
That's the area where He Kao works, also knows the situation, the cheapest one-bedroom apartment rent is two thousand a month, cheaper than Sesame Apartment by five hundred, and it's bigger!
E-Times Apartment has just started operating with various discounts. Currently, the shortest lease term is one month. If renting two, He Kao would pay the four thousand for her.
As for after a month... That won't be He Kao's concern anymore.
This task should be done when those two girls are not at home. If they haven't left, wait till they go out. If it doesn't work, create opportunities for them to leave. In any case, before they return, move everything and change the lock.
And be sure to notify the original residents, those two girls, telling them where their belongings were moved, giving them the apartment keys, and letting them unseal the E-Times Apartment themselves...
The reason not to let He Kao show up is to prevent unexpected situations, like if the other party calls the police or there are disputes between the parties.
Even though the lock's changed and the door's closed, the house is He Kao's. But Yao Shaolan also fears that if a dispute or argument arises on site, He Kao could be taken away by the police.
This scenario is not impossible. If Gu Ziyuan uses other tactics, He Kao might end up at a disadvantage, so leave everything for the firm to handle.
How to describe this plan... Oh, might as well not say it!
He Kao asked, "If we do it this way, can you find a suitable locksmith and moving company? A locksmith company might not be a problem, but a moving company seeing that scene... may not want to do it."
Yao Shaolan: "You don't have to worry about it. Since I said it, I have suitable locksmith and moving companies."
The locksmith company is headed by Ren Lexiong, who was once a disciple of Xiaowu's master, Ye Hui, but despite learning the Micro-Entry Skill for years with Ye Hui, he never entered and later started a company in his hometown, Qi Yuan City.
The moving company is headed by Qian Dali, who also has ties to the Qi Observation Sect, nominally with the same master as Yao Shaolan. However, he never entered the Microcosm when he studied Qi Observation Skill. Today, he's also in Qi Yuan with his company.
These two are also Guests of Fate, and Yao Shaolan has collaborated with them before and has a good relationship with them. Helping with this is business care for them, of course, no problem.
Moreover, as long as they have the house deed and full power of attorney from the owner, neither the locksmith nor the moving company has to bear any responsibility. These matters, Yao Shaolan can handle without explaining in detail to He Kao.
He Kao was somewhat puzzled, "Lawyer Yao, although I'm not a legal professional, I understand that doing it like this carries significant risks and isn't within the usual commission service scope of the firm, right?
Actually, there's no need to push this hard; these things, I could think of ways myself..."
Yao Shaolan interrupted him, "Your unsuitability for direct involvement was something I've just articulated."
He Kao: "But why are you willing... to help me like this?"
Yao Shaolan looked into his eyes and said, "Let's not even mention Qian Guran, just considering my side, that bottle of Peiyuan Pill's goodwill alone far exceeds this favor I'm doing for you."
He Kao then realized that the Peiyuan Pill he gifted to Old Qian was actually given to Yao Shaolan, making it perfectly suitable for her as a Tier Two Sorcerer.
