He Kao finally decided to accept Yao Shaolan's help and entrusted the firm with full authority to handle the matter. As the saying goes, relationships are reciprocal, there's give and take.

Unexpectedly, high-end legal confrontations are so plain and unadorned, not the verbal battles or citing of authorities in court, but locksmithing and moving behind the scenes.

Before taking his leave, He Kao remembered another thing and asked, "Lawyer Yao, can I ask for another favor to investigate a company? I have a relative who borrowed high-interest loans from that company, flipping from the initial eight thousand to now one hundred fifty thousand."

Yao Shaolan handed over a piece of paper and a pen: "Which company?"

He Kao wrote down a company's name, pushed it over, and said, "Xinda Internet Finance Co., Ltd."

Yao Shaolan glanced at it and frowned: "What a coincidence, I know about this company, the hidden owner is Gu Ziyuan."

What a small world, running into Gu Ziyuan again here, He Kao wondered: "Isn't Bada Group in real estate, why is Gu Ziyuan involved in this kind of shady business?"

Yao Shaolan curled her lips slightly and said blandly, "A few years back, this wasn't considered shady, but rather internet financial innovation. A few years ago when the real estate industry slumped, the pace of making money slowed, the cash flow started tightening, it's quite normal for someone to attempt a transformation..."

According to Lawyer Yao Shaolan, Gu Ziyuan didn't just set up one online lending company, but registered a batch of them, many of which have already been canceled.

In short, register a batch, cancel a batch, guide clients to refinance in layers, achieving rolling development. On the surface, you can't find any relation to Gu Ziyuan.

How did Yao Shaolan know this? A student who used to be in university had the same experience as He Shan, but she wasn't as foolish as He Shan, noticing something amiss, she told her parents.

The parents didn't go directly to the online lending company but entrusted a lawyer to negotiate, so they found Yao Shaolan. After the investigation, Yao Shaolan got some insight into this company's background and directly contacted her uncle, Gu Yunteng.

For Gu Yunteng, it was a trivial matter, he simply answered that he knew. Presumably, he just gave a word, and Gu Ziyuan wrote off the debt, the problem was smoothly resolved.

At the time, Qian Guran hadn't come to Qi Yuan yet, no conflicts between Yao Shaolan and her Uncle Gu Yunteng had arisen. Being fellow sorcerers of the Qi Observation Sect, it was no trouble for Gu Yunteng to just give a shout-out.

He Kao asked, "How was it resolved in the end?"

Yao Shaolan: "That girl borrowed less than ten thousand from them, paid nearly twenty thousand in accumulated interest, the principal still owed them over ten thousand. The resolution at the time was to let the past debts be, no need to repay further, the parents were quite satisfied..."

Yao Shaolan contacted Gu Yunteng, a word of greeting only solved the problem of the trustee, Gu Ziyuan's internet financial platform is still operating, many encounter the same issue, like He Shan.

In fact, the signed loan materials of He Shan have been taken back by Huang Xiaopang, all electronic records that could be found have been deleted. In theory, He Shan doesn't need to worry about these anymore, but He Kao always feels a bit uneasy about that online lending company.

At this moment, hearing that the hidden owner is again Gu Ziyuan, a blockage formed in his heart, followed by a surge of anger.

These matters have nothing to do with Hidden Moth's identity, he is just an ordinary citizen, him and his family, including many strangers, their fates always manipulated by people like Gu Ziyuan invisibly.

He Kao was merely inquiring about the company's situation, not commissioning Yao Shaolan to do anything. Moreover, it was impossible for Yao Shaolan to handle it as she did last time.

After that materials issue, immediately Qian Guran suffered an unforeseen accident and fell into a coma, the tension between her and Gu Yunteng was only a hair away from breaking into open conflict.

Given Yao Shaolan's relationship with Qian Guran, she had no choice but to stand against Gu Yunteng. Including the matter of He Kao's house, she couldn't contact Gu Yunteng either.

Speaking thus, she looked up and asked, "He Kao, even if I don't help you this time, do you think, once Qian Guran wakes up, that Gu Yunteng will let him off in the future?"

He Kao was silent for a while, some matters only he understood inside. That night, his call for help was to Old Qian, who understood the hint, immediately sending Huang Xiaopang.

The kidnappers achieved their purpose, fishing out Hidden Moth through He Kao's call for help, however, the result was unexpected. The kidnappers and their accomplices involved were no more, only one accomplice, Gu Yunteng, remained.

Gu Yunteng keeps this very secret, not wanting anyone to know about his involvement.

But the situation that night, showed that Old Qian knew not only what happened but also Hidden Moth's identity at the time, likely guessing Gu Yunteng's relation to the kidnappers as well… but what could Old Qian say?

He certainly didn't wish to expose Huang Xiaopang's identity, nor make clear what happened that night, for doing so would also expose He Kao and Gao Xue'e, and he didn't have solid evidence to point at Gu Yunteng.

Qian Guran's continued coma is likely due to this reason, and from Gu Yunteng's perspective, probably not wishing him to wake up either.

Qian Guran's accident brought the Magic Sect's Hall of Sect Rules into the picture, granting him temporary safety, but the Sect Law Hall Elders couldn't act as his bodyguards indefinitely.

If they can't bring down Gu Yunteng this time, they can't expect him to spare Qian Guran in the future after he passes this hurdle, which is why Yao Shaolan is so worried.
