After the commotion at the Huo residence, Xiang Wan was well aware that someone as vengeful as Huo Song would not simply let things rest. The purpose of causing the scene was to teach Huo Song a lesson, but the greatest support to truly regain the property was Yang Heng.

Casually giving the driver a 5 yuan tip, Xiang Wan walked into the building while the driver stared in astonishment at the money in his hand.

“Hello, may I ask what you need, miss?” The receptionist at the front desk noticed Xiang Wan right away.

“Hello, I’m here to look for my elder. This is his photo. Could you please help me inquire? Thank you.” She handed over the photo that Chen Ma had managed to find.

Having a photo would allow her to accurately find the person she was looking for without being treated as a troublemaker, avoiding the risk of being thrown out.

“You’re welcome, in the service of the people! Are you looking for Mr. Yang… Director Yang? Please wait, I’ll contact him for you right away.” The receptionist’s expression changed slightly as she glanced at Xiang Wan, then she carefully examined the photo in her hand to confirm she wasn’t mistaken. She wondered about Xiang Wan’s background – to know Chief Yang personally, but she didn’t stop and promptly dialed the number.

She knew that Uncle Yang was not simple, but she didn’t expect him to be a chief!

It seemed that her request was settled.

“Miss, please wait for a moment. Someone will come to escort you up shortly.” After hanging up the phone, the receptionist smiled even more brightly at Xiang Wan and asked her to be patient. “Please register first.”

Xiang Wan nodded slightly and took the pen from the receptionist’s hand.

It didn’t take long before Xiang Wan saw a man rushing down.

“Are you Miss Xiang? I am the assistant to the bureau chief. He is waiting for you in his office. Just follow me,” the man, who looked around 40 years old and had a square face, said hurriedly. He had a simple and honest appearance.

“Hello, I’m Xiang Wan. Please lead the way.” She replied politely.

She followed the man upstairs. The receptionist at the front desk stared blankly at her back, and her eyes instantly became starry.

Such a good-looking person, with such a powerful backup, and so gentle and polite, did not make people feel distant at all.

Xiang Wan did not know that she had left such a good impression on others. She followed the assistant into Yang Heng’s office.

“Miss Xiang, wait here for a while. The chief will be back soon.” The assistant left the room after saying that.

She sat on the sofa and waited, looking around the environment. The room had a distinctive style of an experienced official.

The room wasn’t cluttered; most of it consisted of files and records. There was a vintage desk lamp on the desk, and a lucky bamboo plant was placed beside it.

Not long after, Yang Heng hurriedly walked in.

“Wan’er, why are you here? Is there something you need from me?” The young lady had come to look for him. He thought that something had happened. Could it be that some blind people had ulterior motives? With this in mind, he quickly returned.

“Uncle Yang, don’t worry. There’s indeed something I need your help with.” Xiang Wan explained.

“I just found out that Grandpa has a house in Xiang Jiang not long ago, but it’s now occupied by someone else. I want to reclaim this property, but I don’t know what to do.” She looked at Yang Heng.

“This is outrageous! There are still people illegally occupying homes these days. They have no respect for us!” Yang Heng slammed the table angrily upon hearing this.

“Wait a moment. I’ll get someone to investigate now. Old Zhang! Old Zhang!” Yang Heng called out anxiously.

The assistant who brought her upstairs came in. “Chief!”

“My niece encountered an issue. Find out more and investigate this matter,” Yang Heng instructed the assistant.

“Miss Xiang, can you describe what you just said?” The assistant took out his notepad and looked at her.

Following his request, she repeated what she had said to Yang Heng without any changes.

After all, a person like Yang Heng could easily detect discrepancies in stories, especially when she was the victim herself.

“…Moreover, today I went to the Huo family’s residence. Because I was scared, I brought some people along to support me. Once inside, I revealed my identity.”

“They’ve lived in this house for so many years, so there must be some wear and tear. I told them about the compensation and rent, but not only did they refuse to return the property, Huo Song even threatened me, saying that he has influential connections in Xiang Jiang and would have me arrested. When I heard that, I was so scared that I came to trouble you.” Xiang Wan spoke with a hint of grievance.
