Go all out

  "As for the property, I'll discuss it with you." Lin Qiang cut to the chase and directly asked Luo Yangsheng, who nodded dejectedly beside him. He turned to look at the lawyer, "My client has been hurt even more deeply and can't speak up. Lawyer, please stop playing these meaningless word games."

  "...The lawyer's face twitched again, and he asked Luoyang Sheng, "Mr. Luo, can I understand that you have entrusted this matter to this gentleman?"

  Luoyang Sheng looked at Lin Qiang and let out a long sigh: "Hmmm, when it comes to money, he's the most reassuring."

  "Alright, I'll get straight to the point too." The lawyer looked at Lin Qiang and pushed another document forward. "This is the marital property information. There's an apartment in the city center of Jijing and a villa in the suburbs, plus savings, national debt, financial management, insurance, etc., with a total value of around 500,000 yuan. Based on both parties' income, age, and social status, these properties are usually awarded to the wife. After all, the husband is at the peak of his career and can earn it back in the future."

  Lin Qiang glanced at Luo Yangsheng's expression, nodded and said: "Considering the feelings of a couple for over ten years, I will not reserve these properties selflessly. If you like them, take them all away. However, your valuation of the real estate is problematic. The value of those two houses alone should exceed tens of millions."

  "We'll get to those details later," the lawyer said, turning his attention back to the matter at hand. "But compared to the couple's total assets, these are just a drop in the bucket. Under my client's assistance, Mr. Luo successfully started his business and holds shares of WeChat as a partner. After it goes public, these original shares will inevitably skyrocket, and the dividends will be immeasurable. According to the marriage law, this part should belong to the jointly owned property after marriage and should be divided equally."

  Boom!

  "Stop!" Lin Qiang slapped his palm on the table, pointing at Fang Wan, "Your meaning is that because Fang Yun and my client have been separated for many years, they assisted the company in going public?"

  "Hmm... are you done making a scene? The lawyer raised his glasses, "The court is a place of reason, not a place for emotional appeals. Regardless of where my client lived at the time, they were still husband and wife, and these shares were jointly owned marital property. Let me remind you, divorce and stock division is an extremely complex and professional matter, not something you can handle."

  "The law is complicated, but the math isn't that hard." Lin Qiang asked directly, "So you two mean to say, just take away half of my client's shares?"

  The lawyer nodded: "According to the relevant laws, this matter still needs to be consulted with other shareholders of Weixin Company. If the shareholders are not willing to transfer their shares, we can accept a settlement by converting the shares into funds and dividing them directly. However, this requires waiting until Weixin Company is officially listed on the stock market and the share value is fully evaluated before proceeding with the division."

  The lawyer cleared his throat and said slowly, "Considering the complexity of the divorce lawsuit and the social reputation of both parties, we have decided to take a step back. If we agree on a mediated divorce, we will only ask for 40% of Mr. Luo's shares. However, if this goes to court, it is very likely that the assets will be split in half. Please think carefully, Mr. Luo."

  "40%...?" Luoyang silently raised his head, narrowing his eyes at Fangwen, "You're really kind, leaving some for me."

  "After all, no one wants to end up in court, so think it over carefully." Fang Wen didn't look at Luo Yangsheng and stood up ready to leave. "I'll give you a week to consider, by then the company will be listed too, and when I file a lawsuit, you won't be able to back out either."

  "Haha, lawsuit time is really tight."

  The lawyer also stood up, tidied up the materials and pushed them all to Luo Yangsheng's face: "Our concession is still very large. What market value does 10% of the shares have? Mr. Luo, please consider it carefully."

  "Got it." Luo Yangsheng weakly waved his hand.

  After the two left, Luo Yangsheng slowly leaned back in his chair, his eyes sour: "In the end, it's still come to this."

  "Sorry, it's also related to my impulsiveness." Lin Qiang couldn't bear to look at him and apologized, "If divorce is unavoidable, you'd better find a professional lawyer to handle it. As for the details of stock division, I really don't understand them very well."

  "Alright." Luo Yangsheng waved his arm, and said with a bitter smile, "40% is 40%, give it to her. For the sake of our marriage, I will persuade the other shareholders on the board to buy out this portion of shares and exchange them directly for cash to give to her."

  Although Lin Qiang wanted Luo Yangsheng to buy bank products to avoid property division, if the division of shares was Luo Yangsheng's own decision, Lin Qiang would not say another word and mind his own business.

  However, Luo Yangsheng is now completely in the dark. His decision to divide his shares was entirely out of guilt towards his wife and guilt towards their marriage, using this method to make up for it.

  But this guilt is entirely unfounded!

  The woman's infidelity was the root cause of the marriage heading towards its demise, and Luo Yangsheng had already done his best to salvage it. Lin Qiang couldn't bear to see a woman who had been living the "American Dream" leave the country with her lover, nor could he tolerate Luo Yangsheng giving away the fruits of his lifelong labor to someone who hadn't worked for them.

  Of course, he also cannot tolerate the pigeon flying away from his hands.

  "Lo Zong, after you separated, did you know where Fang Wen lived?" Lin Qiang asked firmly.

  "This... I've asked her for a long time, but she never said." Luo Yangsheng shook his head and sighed, "To be honest with you, this is our third meeting after separation. The first time was to propose divorce, the second time was to discuss divorce, and this time is to see a lawyer. At this rate, I'm afraid the fourth time will be in court."

  "Director Luo, same old saying. This is your family matter, I shouldn't say more, but we have to consider all possibilities, maybe things aren't as Fang Wei said." Lin forced a smile and persuaded, "If Fang Wei was actually... seeing someone else, the nature of the thing would be completely different."

  "Ah... Manager Lin, don't try to persuade me anymore. This matter is my problem." Luo Yangsheng smiled bitterly and patted his thigh, "Busy with work, forgot about family; gained wealth, lost loved ones, it's all my fault. Wenwen has been with me for so many years, her youth is gone, using half of my assets to compensate her is also deserved. I still believe in her character, after all, we've been through thick and thin together for so long, and we've survived those tough days abroad..."

  Lin Qiang felt a surge of anger, but how could this cunning Luo Yangsheng not have the slightest suspicion about his wife? Maybe it was because he had been too convincing in his American Dream performance, or maybe it was due to his confidence and the decade-long relationship with Fang Wei. Lin Qiang wanted to scold him, to tell him, to reveal the affair that Qian Yan had discovered, but he couldn't bring himself to say anything, for if he did, Luo Yangsheng would surely think he was a bank employee who would stop at nothing to make a sale, even if it meant slandering his wife.

  Ding ding ding......

  Lin Qiang's phone rang, he quietly opened the message, and couldn't help but smile.

  That's right, he is a bank employee who will stop at nothing. But like Luo Yangsheng's principle, Lin Qiang respects people and fears facts.

  "Director Luo, honorable madam, it's not as pure as you think." Lin Qiang furrowed his brow and gazed at Luo Yangsheng, "From a professional ethics perspective, my task should end here. But as a man, I must continue."

  He swung his arm and held out his mobile phone in front of Luo Yangsheng's face.

  "Look at the woman in this man's arms."

  Luoyang Sheng stared at the screen, his body slowly leaning forward, his pupils gradually enlarging.

  His mouth opened involuntarily.

  For a whole minute, Luo Yang didn't utter a single word.

  "This is... when did it happen..." Luo Yang's body went limp, and he slumped into the chair, his eyes unfocused. "You... you knew all along? Why didn't you tell me?"

  "No, I just found out too," Lin Qiang said firmly. "Actually, I was prepared for tonight's meeting because this matter is too important. I had a colleague follow Fang Wan earlier and I apologize in advance."

  After hanging up, Lin Qiang picked up his phone again, narrowing his eyes and saying in a low voice: "But just as I was about to give up, I didn't expect Fang Wen to be so bold, getting into this man's car shortly after leaving, hugging and embracing. As a man, I have to tell you this."

  "40%...... 40%......" Luo Yangsheng slowly raised his right hand, and his loose palm clenched into a fist again, trembling this time not with despair, but with anger. "She... deceived me."

  "Yes, the following words will add fuel to the fire, but I still have to say them." Lin Qiang said indignantly, "That 40% of shares may very likely become Fang Wei and that man's capital for immigration. To be even more evil, we have reason to speculate that all this is the doing of the man in the car, it was he who orchestrated this share split."

  Luoyang sighed and pondered for a long time, then suddenly looked up at the sky and let out a long whistle.

  Hahaha!!!

  "I gave her sincerity, but she returned with lies!"

  "Thirteen years of marriage is not worth a single share!"

  Luo Yang's palms pressed on the table, he suddenly stood up: "Hungry, Manager Lin, do you want to eat braised food?"

  "This... braised dish is extremely good."

  "Hahaha! Lin, I've seen what you mean by 'considering all possibilities'. Investigate and I'll pay for the private detective's fee."

  As he spoke, his eyebrows moved and he regained his usual spirit.

  "I'm a kind person, but that doesn't mean I'm weak and can be bullied by anyone." Luo Yangsheng clenched his fists and showed a stern expression, "In that case, we can also make our move now."

  "Of course."

  "Either don't do it or do it thoroughly." Luo Yangsheng showed his ruthlessness, "Manager Lin, do you still remember what you said to me?"

  "Which sentence."

  "You said before that I can rely on your professionalism to make sure my ex-wife doesn't get a single penny of the property." Luo Yangsheng spread his arms and smiled, "This time, I want to take the initiative to file for divorce, and I want you to guarantee that she won't even get a cent."

  “…………”

  "Is it difficult?"

  "Not even one cent... won't be given to her?"

  "Yes."

  "...... General Luo, killed 10,000 enemies, lost 8,000 himself."

  "It's come to this, even if it means losing 10,000. " Luo Yangsheng patted Lin Qiang and said resolutely, "I want her to know that the price of betrayal is to make the man behind her get a useless, resentful old woman."

  Lin Qiang was speechless.

  Lu Yong's life was elegant and extraordinary, with a strong sense of acceptance and tolerance.

  Turn your face around, and in an instant you're completely disowning your own family.

  "By the way," Luo Yangsheng suddenly asked, "Were you a debater in school?"

  "Three Debates."

  "Haha, I'm also a debater. It's troublesome to debate with foreigners in English. Let's take a walk and eat some braised dishes while chatting."
