Originally, they had spent all their life savings and even taken on a loan of 300,000 to buy this apartnt. But now, Qin Mu was telling them that they wouldn’t need to pay for the apartnt, as the "considerate" agent would handle the full paynt for them.
However, Uncle Yang suddenly lowered his head, a bitter smile on his face. "But our grandson needs to start school soon, and by the ti the court’s decision cos through, school will have already started..."
"You don’t need to worry about that." After listening, Qin Mu smiled and said, "We won’t go through the agency process. We can handle the transaction privately. Tomorrow is a workday, so we can just make a trip to the Real Estate Bureau."
Uncle Yang trembled. He suddenly looked up, staring at Qin Mu.
"Really... really?"
Qin Mu nodded earnestly. "Of course, it’s true, and the selling price will still be 750,000."
After hearing the couple’s situation, he too was deeply moved. Misfortune always targets those who are already suffering. They had just endured the grief of an elder outliving the younger. In their attempt to care for their grandson, they wanted to buy a house but encountered such a malicious agent. Not only was the price inflated, but they were also burdened with a predatory loan. Since he had encountered this situation, he would help however he could. After all, he had only intended to sell for 750,000 in the first place, but the agent was too greedy, jacking up the price to 1,000,000.
"Thank you, thank you so much..."
After Uncle Yang and his wife heard this, their eyes beca moist as they repeatedly expressed their gratitude.
Before this, they had always thought Lin Zhen was sincere and trustworthy. From Lin Zhen, they had heard that Qin Mu was difficult and unpleasant to deal with, so they hadn’t held much hope for this visit. But they hadn’t expected reality to be completely reversed. Lin Zhen appeared polite and sincere, but in reality, he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Qin Mu, although he was not very talkative, made them feel the warmth of humanity once again.
"Thank you, Mr. Qin. You are a good man."
At the entrance of the nursing ho, before leaving, Uncle Yang and his wife couldn’t help but look back at Qin Mu.
Qin Mu smiled. He escorted the elderly couple to a bus stop a few hundred ters away.
Shortly thereafter, he took the complaint himself and went directly to the court to submit it.
「That night.」
Inside the nursing ho, Qin Mu was walking and chatting with a group of elderly people when he suddenly received a text ssage. It showed that his bank account had been credited with exactly 750,000 yuan. The transfer was from Uncle Yang.
He transferred it so quickly? Looking at his bank balance, Qin Mu was also surprised. In the afternoon, they had agreed to transfer the money at the Real Estate Bureau before completing the ownership transfer the next day. He hadn’t expected them to trust him so much as to transfer the money that very evening. After all, most people would be wary after experiencing such a scam. Once bitten, twice shy. But Uncle Yang and his wife... they were still willing to believe in the goodwill of others. They were simple and honest, perhaps to a fault, which is exactly why they had fallen for Lin Zhen’s trap.
And agents like Lin Zhen... they are unfortunately all too common in the industry. These malicious agents, every single one of them, deserve to be locked up!
Qin Mu took a deep breath. Although his individual power was limited and he couldn’t solve industry-wide problems, at least he could ensure that Lin Zhen and the agency behind him faced the punishnt they deserved!
「The next day.」
At nine in the morning, Qin Mu, as agreed, hurried to the Real Estate Bureau. Uncle Yang and his wife seed to have arrived early and had been waiting for so ti.
The transfer process was also fairly simple. By paying the deed tax, land tax, and individual inco tax, the transfer could be completed smoothly. They queued for an hour. The processing took ten minutes. Soon, all procedures were completed, and within three working days, the Real Estate Bureau would change the property ownership to Uncle Yang and his wife.
"Mr. Qin, thank you, truly."
After finishing the process, Uncle Yang grabbed Qin Mu’s hand, the weight on his heart finally lifting. There were four days left before school started. Plenty of ti.
Qin Mu smiled and nodded. Before leaving, he advised, "I just received a notice from the court; the complaint has been accepted. Since the incidents are similar, they will be rged into one case and heard in court five days from now. I’ve already found a lawyer for you. Just rember to attend; otherwise, the two million could be gone."
As the parties involved, if they didn’t show up, it would be considered an on-the-spot withdrawal of the case, thereby forfeiting their claim and their rights.
Uncle Yang and his wife looked at each other. They quickly nodded. "By that ti, our grandson will have completed his school registration. We will definitely be there."
Actually, even now, they could hardly believe that they would receive two million in compensation after the lawsuit. However, Lin Zhen had maliciously raised the price of the 750,000 house to 1,000,000. His actions were simply too vile. They had to attend this lawsuit, no matter what!
「At the sa ti.」
Jin City, Anjia Headquarters.
Chairman’s office.
"Lawyer Qi, you must help ! Clearly, it was the other party who breached the contract first. So why am I being sued and even have to compensate them 1.6 million?" Lin Zhen stared anxiously at the lawyer before him, filled with indignation.
This Lawyer Qi was not actually from the company’s legal departnt. After the company’s entire legal team resigned en masse, Wu Zhenglin, driven to desperation, had paid a high price to hire him from outside.
"You have the nerve to complain after all the trouble you’ve caused!" Wu Zhenglin glared fiercely at Lin Zhen. Pointing to the next room, his face livid, he said, "If it weren’t for you, our company wouldn’t be under intense investigation by the Procuratorate!"
Just at nine o’clock this morning, at their company’s headquarters, more than ten people from the Procuratorate had arrived. They ford an investigative team, a significant presence. They were currently stationed in the company, requisitioning financial records, bills, contracts, and other docunts from the adjacent room for review. Although he had tried his best to conceal things, secrets always have a way of getting out. If soone truly wanted to investigate, there was nothing they couldn’t uncover. Being discovered was just a matter of ti.
"Mr. Wu, I really don’t know how this happened! I just bought low and sold high, like always. How could I have known I’d run into Qin Mu..." Lin Zhen whined, his face a mask of misery and grievance. "And to top it off, the other party is unbelievably arrogant! They signed the contract one mont and dragged to court the next, demanding 1.6 million in compensation right off the bat!"
"Ahem, I believe I roughly understand the situation now." Lawyer Qi, dressed in a suit and standing with an impeccable posture, coughed lightly, interrupting their "friendly conversation."
Wu Zhenglin and Lin Zhen’s gazes imdiately focused on Lawyer Qi, who was only in his thirties.
In Jin City, Lawyer Qi was extrely well-known, having handled hundreds of cases, both large and small. He had never lost a single one. Consequently, his fees were exorbitantly high. But for the company’s survival, Wu Zhenglin had gritted his teeth and hired him.
"Lawyer Qi, you’re the professional. Please show us the way forward. What should we do now?" Wu Zhenglin asked, his face full of expectation.
"Yes, Lawyer Qi, you have to save ! Surely I don’t actually have to pay them 1.6 million, do I?" Lin Zhen chid in.
Lawyer Qi nodded. Under their expectant gazes, he slowly began, "Rest assured. I, Mr. Qi, have weathered countless storms in the legal profession and have never known defeat. As for your case..."
