Chapter 2036 - 671: Su Yu and Ouyang_2
They’ve blocked doors, splashed water, grabbed loudspeakers, and today, it’s finally their turn to be afraid.
Truly satisfying.
Immediately, another male lawyer stepped forward.
"I am the senior partner of QJ Law Firm, Dai Xi. I will be specifically responsible for handling the purchase contract dispute of the ’Harmony Residence’ project."
He first nodded politely at Zhao Manlin and Zhou Yan opposite, his tone polite yet undeniable:
"President Zhao, Lawyer Zhou, after our review at the Rong City Real Estate Registration Center.
Your company already mortgaged the involved land to [Western Trust] before signing the purchase contract with our client Miss Cheng Qiuyu, without fulfilling the statutory notification obligation.
According to Article 406 of the Civil Code and Article 9 of the Supreme Court’s judicial interpretation of commodity housing sales, this constitutes deliberate concealment of the mortgage facts.
We have the right to: terminate the contract, return the paid purchase price with interest, and receive compensation of no more than double the paid purchase price."
Hearing this compensation plan, both Li Meihua and Cheng Qiuyu were shocked.
Li Meihua sucked in a breath, her hand trembling, almost dropping the pen.
She had paid a full 2 million for the purchase.
In other words, if according to what Lawyer Dai said, they could not only get back the full purchase price but also an additional compensation of nearly 2 million?!
million!
Thinking of that enormous number, Li Meihua trembled slightly with excitement.
Zhao Manlin across had her lips shut tight, saying nothing.
The legal consultant Zhou Yan beside her was sweating, his Adam’s apple rolling.
Actually, in domestic stalled building projects, the situation of "land/project under construction mortgage" is common.
This has long been an "unwritten rule" in the industry to accelerate capital turnover.
The purchase contract would never clearly state that "the land of this project has been mortgaged."
But in reality, few buyers would truly use this to sue and demand enormous punitive compensation.
The primary reason is that ordinary owners can’t afford to sue.
High legal fees, lengthy process, difficulty in providing evidence, hopeless execution.
It requires enormous time and effort to dispute, with the end result still uncertain.
But [QJ] is different.
They are the top "red circle firm" in the country, with the strongest litigation attorney team and evidence collection network.
They lack neither time nor resources.
They can even take this [Xuyuan Real Estate] case as a "model case" to fight.
Causing other owners to pounce in.
Collective lawsuits, media exposure, government interviews...
The self-rescuing Xuyuan Real Estate simply cannot bear it.
Zhao Manlin took a deep breath, her voice dry: "Director Luo, Lawyer Dai, I think... there’s no need to go that far, we... we are willing to settle."
She glanced at Li Meihua, who was equally stunned by the scene, and then turned her gaze to the sexy and beautiful Cheng Qiuyu.
Bowing solemnly, "Miss Cheng, Ms. Li, I represent [Xuyuan Real Estate], and I sincerely apologize for the previous oversight in our company’s work, and for all the distress and harm it has caused you two. Regarding compensation, regarding a refund, we can all sit down and discuss it properly."
After speaking, she raised her head, looking at Cheng Qiuyu with a pleading gaze.
Cheng Qiuyu did not answer directly but instead looked inquiringly towards the strong-presence great lawyer beside her.
Luo Bin’s eyes flashed with a trace of appreciation, and he said slowly, "President Zhao, to protect the legal rights of both parties and avoid unnecessary ambiguity and disputes in subsequent legal proceedings. Please have your legal representative or authorized decision-maker directly engage with our team."
Zhao Manlin licked her dry lips, knowing there was no room for maneuver, she could only nod with difficulty: "I understand, Director Luo."
"Then... please."
Luo Bin made a "please" gesture, his tone calm, yet carrying an undeniable sense of expulsion.
As his words fell, the two black-suit security guards at the door immediately stepped forward half a step, clearing a path to the door from both sides.
Scanning them with cold eyes.
Zhao Manlin and her two companions dared not linger, and they quickly bowed their heads and left the ward.
The ward finally returned to silence.
"Oh! Director Luo! Mr. Luo!" Li Meihua could no longer hold back, excitedly grabbing Luo Bin’s hand, "Thank... thank you so much! You are truly a great benefactor to our family!"
She was so excited that she rambled on with a lot of grateful words.
Then she couldn’t help but carefully ask: "That... will they really pay? That... what Lawyer Dai said... double compensation, almost 4 million... can it really be recovered?"
Although she was filled with awe for the imposing great lawyer in front of her, at this moment, the nearly 2 million of her hard-earned money was her most pressing concern.
Luo Bin’s face revealed a reassuring smile, "Rest assured, there is absolutely no problem. Now, to better grasp the initiative, please recount the entire detailed process from purchasing the house to safeguarding rights and suffering injury, without omitting any details."
Thereupon, two lawyers immediately stepped forward, one opened a professional voice recorder, and the other took out a notebook, ready to start making the most comprehensive record.
Li Meihua, rejuvenated, began to pour out all her grievances over the past half year.
