"Then, he would arrange for me to immigrate to a country that could never extradite me," Lin Yifeng said. "He would also give me twenty million, solving my family's problems and allowing me to live peacefully abroad for the rest of my life."
"Twenty million..." I frowned. "Duan Wei is quite generous."
"Yeah," Lin Yifeng sighed. "That's what I thought at first. I've never been particularly successful or capable; I just wanted to fight for my dad, my mom, and my sister. After all..."
He gave a bitter smile. "In society, no one respects me."
I remained silent.
"Bingxin," Lin Yifeng looked up at me, "I'm telling the truth. You have to believe me."
"Okay." I nodded.
"Bingxin..." A glimmer of hope shone in Lin Yifeng's eyes. "Will you... will you report this?"
"Report it?"
"Yes," Lin Yifeng said. "Duan Wei... he wants to kill you."
"But..." I furrowed my brow. "I don't have any evidence."
"This..."
"Even if I report it, there's no way to convict him," I sighed. "In the end, it's just your word against his."
"Bingxin..."
"But don't worry," I said. "I won't let him succeed."
"Bingxin," Lin Yifeng asked, "why does Duan Wei want you dead?"
"Why..." I pondered for a moment. "Maybe it's because I won't have children with him?"
"That could be it," Lin Yifeng said. "You women don’t understand; we men know that getting promoted, making money, and losing a wife are the three great fortunes of middle-aged men."
"Heh." I scoffed. "He's such a scumbag."
"Yeah," Lin Yifeng said. "Bingxin, what do you plan to do?"
"Just wait for my news," I replied. "Don't tell him anything about what I've said today."
"Okay."
I stood up and left the café, taking a taxi to Duan Wei's company.
Duan Wei wasn't at the office.
I went into his office under the pretense of having forgotten something.
Before this, I had never paid attention to the small details in Duan Wei's office.
For example, the fresh Phalaenopsis orchids on his desk.
For example, the hand-painted mouse pad next to the computer.
For example, the worn toy car under the desk.
For example, the children's cream in the bookshelf.
...
"Professor Xu," the secretary asked me, "do you need anything else?"
"Nothing more," I replied. "Manager Yuan is usually busy with work; I'm grateful for your help."
"Of course," the secretary smiled. "By the way, Professor Xu, Manager Jian sometimes brings her child over."
"Manager Jian?"
"Yes," the secretary said. "Jian Yi, our company's Overseas Market Director."
"Is she married?"
"No."
"What about the child..."
"Manager Jian had a child out of wedlock," the secretary explained. "She just underwent in vitro fertilization last year, and the baby was born this year."
"I see," I said thoughtfully. "Does she often bring the child to the office?"
"Not really," the secretary replied. "It's only recently that she's brought her child a few times."
"Recently?"
"Yes."
"When was that?"
"About...," the secretary pondered, "when Manager Yuan was on a business trip abroad."
"I understand now."
I walked out of the company, a cold smile creeping onto my face.
So that's how it is.
No wonder Duan Wei said he would be on a business trip abroad for half a month this time.
Turns out he took his wife and child on vacation.
"Yan Bingxin!" Lin Yifeng sent me dozens of messages, "When are you going to report this?"
"Don't ignore me."
"Yan Bingxin," Lin Yifeng almost pleaded, "I'm begging you, don't involve me in this."
"I'll pay you back all the money," Lin Yifeng said. "Please stop investigating me."
"Just leave me alone."
"Get lost," I replied. "You should turn yourself in."
"You..."
I ignored him and headed to the Jewelry Store, where I sold a bracelet for eight million.
I transferred that eight million to the private investigator.
Two days later, the private investigator sent me an email.
I opened the email to find a video and some photos.
In the video, a family of three celebrated a birthday in a restaurant—father, mother, and baby, with candlelight, cake, and champagne.
The photos captured their passionate moments on a cruise.
The male lead was Duan Wei.
The female lead was Xu Han.
The child was their illegitimate son.
"How romantic," I said as I picked up my phone and called the private investigator. "This evidence should be enough, right?"
"Enough."
"Good," I replied. "I'll wait for your good news."
"Sure thing."
I hung up and chose an appropriate time to expose the information publicly.
Overseas, it was three in the morning.
Duan Wei and Xu Han should be deep in their dreams.
They would probably be very "surprised" to receive this news, right?
I took out another phone, logged into the online stock exchange, and sold all my shares.
Then, I logged into Weibo and posted a message: "Divorced, broken up. Duan Wei, wish you happiness."
