“It’s at least 700 meters long, but I’m not sure if I can get the assets back. After all, so many years have passed and 1 1 m not sure who has taken over the ownership by now,” Gao Lin said regretfully.

“If you want to get the assets back, it’s important to have the relevant documents. Do you have the title deeds for the properties and the land?” Qiao Mei asked.

“Yes, I have everything!” Gao Lin said.

Gao Lin hurried back to his room and brought out the documents. There was a thick stack of both land and property title deeds. Qiao Mei took a look at a few pages and felt a little disappointed. These documents were too dated and were not valid anymore.

However, they were not totally useless.

When Xu Lan and Xia Wen heard that Qiao Mei was leaving the capital, they came over to Qiao Mei’s house. The two of them had something to discuss with her.

“What are you looking at?” Xia Wen asked.

“Eldest Brother, you have come at the right time. There’s one more thing that I might need to trouble you with. The Gao family used to own assets on a street in Hu City, but many years have passed and the documents are an old version that might not be valid anymore. Can you help us find out who has ownership of the assets now?” Qiao Mei said as she handed the documents in her hand to Xia Wen.

Xia Wen looked through the documents carefully and said, “These are indeed invalid, but it’s nothing too difficult to deal with. However, it might cost a lot of money to take back the assets.”

“That’s alright! At the end of the day, I still have foreign currency! Money is not a problem,” Gao Lin said.

“Alright, I’ll go and check on this as soon as possible. I think I’ll be able to get the information by the time Old Master Gao arrives in Hu City,” Xia Wen said.

Gao Lin was already aware of the Xia family’s clout by now. He had thought that the Xia family was already influential enough in the capital, but he did not expect them to be able to get things done in other cities too. Despite that, the Xia family members always behaved very appropriately, so he felt at ease with them.

“This time round, I’m going to Hu City and Shen City with my granduncle. I also want to take a look at how the Gao family used to live,” Qiao Mei said.

“Mei Mei, are you going to bring the children along this time?” Xu Lan asked tentatively.

“Yes, I want to bring them along. I’ll probably be gone for about a month this time. It’s quite a long time, so I want to bring them to Shen City with me,” Qiao Mei said.

“It’s going to be a tedious journey and you also have a lot of things to do. It will be very tiring for you to take care of the three children as well. Perhaps you can leave the children with me this time. Is that alright with you?” Xu Lan asked.

Qiao Mei was a little hesitant. She had never been away from her children for so long. Even when she was in Country M, she was never away for more than half a month.

Xia Wen said tactfully, “Grandfather’s comrades have all returned to the capital recently. Xia Fan and Xia Xing are almost five years old now. Grandfather wants to bring the children to meet his old comrades.”

Qiao Mei immediately understood why the two of them were here. The Xia family was intending to start nurturing their descendants for the future. They were going to introduce these three children to the familys acquaintances so that everyone would remember the children’s faces. This was a wonderful thing for the children.

“Sure, then I’ll have to trouble Mother and Grandfather,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

There was a limit to what she could give the children. There were many things that one could learn from Xia Jun. Even Qiao Mei wanted to learn from Xia Jun, so she had no issue with letting the children spend time with him.

Xu Lan and Xia Wen were both appreciative of the fact that Qiao Mei was so sensible and understanding. After Xia Wen gave her a brief update, they packed up the children’s things and left with the children. This time, Qiao Mei could go on a business trip without any worries.

Qiao Mei and Gao Lin took a flight to Hu City first. As soon as they landed, they rushed to the area where the old house was located. Gao Lin walked through the area based on his memories and finally managed to find the correct alley.

“This area used to be very prosperous. These were all built by our Gao family,” Gao Lin said proudly.

“All these?” Qiao Mei asked as she pointed at the surrounding shops.

“In the past, yes. These current shops are already different from the original ones,” Gao Lin said regretfully.

In the past, the shops in this area included the supply and marketing cooperative, grocery stores as well as many newspaper offices. Now, there were all kinds of restaurants, hairdressing salons and boutiques.

“Then where is our house located?” Qiao Mei asked.

Gao Lin led Qiao Mei into the alley slowly. This place looked different from how it was decades ago. When they arrived at a bungalow, Gao Lin’s eyes reddened. Qiao Mei immediately knew that the bungalow in front of her was Gao Lin’s old home and also the place where Gao Tao grew up..
