Chapter 674 Left and Right Arms
"It's okay, we'll talk once you have the evidence. I'm a lawyer, and I absolutely don't believe anything without evidence."

Wang Yang knew that if they continued talking like this, they would definitely not reach an agreement, and he had to find another way.

"Okay, then tell me, what are your conditions if you want a divorce?"

Xiao Zhao's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected Wang Yang to actually understand him.

“Actually, my conditions are very simple. As you know, most of the money in the family is earned by Xiaochun, but after the divorce, I can’t be left with nothing.”

"You can take it, take the portion you earned yourself."

Xiao Zhao shook his head: "That won't do. You know, although I'm a lawyer, I earn very little compared to her."

"To put it bluntly, you just want more money. The reason you couldn't reach an agreement before was because Xiaochun wasn't willing to give you the money, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhao burst into laughter again.

"No, not at all. Xiaochun and Qin Tongtong simply didn't understand my conditions for divorce. I can get a divorce, as long as I get enough money."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yang clenched his fists. He never expected Xiao Zhao to be so shameless, turning around and accusing him after cheating on him.

"So, you don't actually want custody of the child, right? This is just a bargaining chip for you."

Xiao Zhao didn't say anything, but just nodded, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Wang Yang felt sorry for Xiao Chun; she had sacrificed so much for the family, only to receive such a result.

He thought about it and decided that he couldn't let Xiaochun continue to be entangled with this person; it would be a good thing to get a divorce sooner rather than later.

"Then tell me, how much money do you want?"

"I want the three houses in my family home, plus one million in cash."

Wang Yang frowned: "Your family only has five houses in total, and you want three of them. I don't know how much cash you have, but you don't want custody of the child, and Xiaochun still has to raise the child. Do you think your conditions are reasonable?"

"If that's the case, then let's go straight to court!"

After a moment's thought, Xiao Zhao realized that his request was indeed a bit excessive. After all, Xiao Chun still had two children to raise, and if he took most of the property, her future would likely be very difficult.

“I originally thought that even if I took most of the money, Xiaochun would still be able to earn more.”

"Have you ever thought about how she'll have to raise two children alone after the divorce? Where will she find the time and energy? Do you have any conscience at all?!"

Wang Yang's roar drew the attention of everyone around him. Xiao Zhao, being a lawyer, was always concerned about his image and dreaded being recognized.

"Alright, alright, stop talking, I understand. Here's the deal: I'll take two houses, and she can have the remaining three. As for the money, it's still 100 million."

"How much is your house worth?"

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Zhao said, "Based on current prices, it's probably worth 200 million, considering the location isn't that great."

"Here's what I'll give you: 300 million."

As soon as Wang Yang said this, Xiao Zhao almost spilled his coffee all over the floor.

"What did you say? Give me 300 million? What do you mean?"

"Didn't you want two houses and 100 million? Now, I'll give you 300 million. Just tell Xiaochun you're leaving with nothing."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhao immediately became excited. Those two houses might not even sell for that price.

"Why? Why are you helping her? Xiaochun has never really liked you."

“But I hate you even more now. You should stay away from her as soon as possible. Let me tell you, if you don’t agree to my terms today, you won’t get those two houses.”

Xiao Zhao knew that dragging this out would be bad for both of them. He couldn't possibly change his habit of seeing other women, and one day, Xiao Chun and the others would find evidence of his infidelity.

Hiring a private investigator wouldn't cost much, and once they get the evidence, he'd be in a difficult position.

“You’re a lawyer, you should be able to figure out that if this drags on, getting evidence of your infidelity will be a piece of cake.”

Xiao Zhao nodded quickly: "I know. Wang Yang, did you really make that much money? I didn't believe it when I heard you bought a new villa, but it's true!"

"How much money I make has nothing to do with you. You can get a divorce if you agree to my terms. But you have to keep it a secret from Xiaochun."

If Xiaochun knew that she had given her so much money, she definitely wouldn't want a divorce, nor would she want to owe herself such a huge favor.

"Why are you willing to spend so much money to help her? Just because she's close to Qin Tongtong?"

"Let me put it simply: Qin Tongtong has been unhappy for a long time because of her. I just want to make my wife happy, it's that simple."

Xiao Zhao snorted coldly. Is this the fun of being rich? Once he gets that 3 million, he'll definitely invest it wisely, using it as seed money to make even more money.

"Okay, I agree, but we need to sign an agreement."

"Of course the agreement must be signed!"

Xiao Zhao frowned again: "But what if Xiao Chun suspects it? Given her personality, I'm afraid she won't believe it."

“How about this, you take a house worth 100 million and I'll give you another 200 million. That way, Xiaochun won't suspect anything.”

"However, you'd better avoid meeting her during this time, or you might let something slip. Just sign the agreement."

After signing the agreement, Wang Yang left. He had finally resolved a major concern, but that 200 million yuan hadn't been given away for nothing.

He planned to make Xiao Zhao return the principal and interest in full.

After resolving this matter, Wang Yang planned to deal with the crisis at Qin Tongtong's company. He sent people to investigate and discovered that Qin Tongtong's company was indeed being sold at a low price.

He went directly to the coffee shop downstairs from Qin Tongtong's company and arranged to meet Qin Yuan.

"Hello Mr. Qin, this is Wang Yang. I'm interested in acquiring your company. Would you be interested?"

Wang Yang did not hand over his business card, after all, he was not someone in this circle.

"Hello, Mr. Wang, but I don't think I've heard of you before."

"Well, I'm not an industry insider, but I'm currently quite interested in this industry, and I just happened to hear that you're selling your company, so I'd like to learn more about it."

These past few days, President Qin has been extremely busy. Many people are using the guise of acquiring the company to actually try and drive down the price. Even at its worst, his company is worth 500 million, but some people are maliciously trying to reduce the price to 300 million. If he weren't really short of money, he would never be willing to sell the company, especially since its sales volume is quite considerable.

"So, how much are you planning to bid?"

Wang Yang pondered for a moment. He had already done his research, and now the company's price had been reduced to 200 million.

“I’m offering 400 million. And rest assured, after the acquisition, the company will remain the same, it will not be merged into other departments or companies, and everything will continue to operate as before.”

Upon hearing the price of 400 million, President Qin's eyes widened. In the past few days, he hadn't heard any offers exceeding 300 million.

"Mr. Lin, are you sure? To be honest, I'm not afraid to tell you that my company's prices have been maliciously suppressed these past few days. The prices they've been offering are basically between 200 million and 300 million."

Wang Yang was surprised that the person in front of him was so honest. Anyone else would have agreed to the price immediately.

“Mr. Qin, it seems you’re a straightforward person. I’ll be frank: I have high hopes for your company, and I won’t merge it into a department like other companies do. I think 400 million is well worth it.”

President Qin nodded vigorously: "I didn't expect someone outside the industry to understand the value of my company. You should know my company's annual revenue. Buying it will definitely not be a loss."

"Of course, that's what I've been looking for. I have no reason to acquire a company that would make me lose money."

At this point, President Qin was still puzzled. Wang Yang could have negotiated a lower price, so why did he offer 400 million?
“Mr. Lin, are you really going to offer 400 million? That’s no small sum. Actually, I’ve already been considering it. If someone offers 300 million, I’m planning to sell.”

“Mr. Qin, that’s because I see the potential in this company. I know you urgently need money, which is why you’re in a hurry to sell the company. Right now, the employees are in a state of panic. If I take over, I can guarantee that everything will return to normal.”

Mr. Qin nodded vigorously again: "Mr. Lin, you're truly my savior! Okay, I agree. So when shall we sign the contract?"

"Now you can!"

After signing the contract, Wang Yang went home. He didn't understand company management, but this was only temporary. Previously, General Manager Qin had recommended the company's general manager, Wan Qiang, to him.

He planned to meet only with Wan Qiang, and he would never show up at the company under normal circumstances, since he didn't want Qin Tongtong to know about this.

When they got home, Qin Tongtong and Xiaochun were already back, and Wang Lan was in the kitchen making chicken soup.

"Mom, didn't I already tell you to find a suitable nanny and bring her back? You won't have to work so hard all the time."

“Your mother has done these jobs all her life, and I can’t stand being idle. If you really make me idle every day, I really can’t get used to that kind of life.”

Wang Yang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. His mother used to say that when she had money, she would live the life of a rich lady, hiring 10 maids to serve her every day and never cooking again. But now that she actually had the means, she was still the same as before.

"Wang Yang, just leave her alone. If she has too much free time, she'll get sick from it. By the way, how's the clinic today?"

Wang Yang was stunned for a moment. He hadn't gone to the clinic at all today; he was busy dealing with Xiao Chun's matter.

“I went to the clinic for a quick check-up today and came out. I went to see Xiao Zhao and we've reached an agreement. He's willing to divorce you, and the divorce agreement has been signed.”

"Also, this is a contract; he only needs one house."

Upon hearing this, Xiaochun, who was wearing a face mask, immediately tore it off and took the contract to examine it carefully.

"How is that possible? How could he give up so easily!"

"What about child custody?"

Wang Yang smiled and said, "I've also helped you win custody. Both children are yours, and he has nothing to do with them."

Qin Tongtong also came over, and the two of them looked through the contract together. They found that Xiao Zhao had indeed signed it and stamped it.

"Wang Yang, how did you manage to do that? We discussed it with him for a long time before, but he refused. We didn't know what he was up to. How come he agreed as soon as you mentioned it?"

Wang Yang smiled helplessly upon hearing this. He and Xiao Zhao had spent almost half a day in the coffee shop before reaching an agreement, which was nothing like the easy thing they made it sound.

"That's because you didn't get to the point." Wang Yang was worried that Xiao Chun and the others wouldn't believe the agreement, so he made up a lie beforehand and even discussed it with Xiao Zhao.

"How did you manage to do that? You didn't secretly give him some benefits, did you?" Sure enough, Xiao Chun was smart enough to guess right away that Xiao Zhao wouldn't make such a big concession for no reason.

"Don't worry, I did get some evidence, but it's fake." Upon hearing this, both of them looked up at him.

"Actually, this is what happened. I asked around and found out that Xiao Zhao has been spending a lot of time with his first love lately, so I suspected something was going on between them. I had someone secretly follow them and take some photos, and hey, they actually caught them going to a bar together."...

Upon hearing this, Xiaochun suddenly screamed.

"Wasn't he having an ambiguous relationship with that female colleague at his company before? How come he's now involved with his first love!"

"Do you think someone like him only has one woman? He definitely has others outside. That's all I know so far."

Xiaochun suddenly lost her spirit and collapsed on the sofa. She never imagined that Xiao Zhao had been having so many women behind her back all these years.

“I filmed them going to the hotel, but I didn’t film what they did, so it can’t be used as evidence. He’s a lawyer, very cautious, and he always kept his distance from his first girlfriend in places with surveillance cameras.”

"Then one day, I photographed them going to a bar together, and that gave me a solution. They're bound to get drunk at the bar, and when they're drunk, they don't know anything. I used that to my advantage and had someone create a fake piece of evidence."

Hearing him say that, the two suddenly realized what he meant, and at that moment Wang Lan also came over.

What does "fabricated false evidence" mean?

"It's a composite photo of the two of them kissing or hugging, in a very intimate way. He was drunk and didn't remember it, so he thought it was real."

Wang Lan exclaimed in sudden realization, "Oh! I didn't know you could do that. Technology is really advanced these days. But won't this be discovered?"

"You definitely can't tell with the naked eye; the person I found is incredibly skilled."

Hearing this, Xiaochun was furious.

"Then why did you agree to give him a house? Why shouldn't he leave with nothing?"

"Xiaochun, don't rush him. If he doesn't get anything, he'll definitely cause trouble everywhere, even to your parents or in court. What will we do then? This evidence isn't even real to begin with."

Hearing Wang Yang say this, Xiao Chun lost her enthusiasm again. She knew that Wang Yang had considered everything very carefully and that this evidence could not be shown to others.

"Wang Yang, thank you so much. I never expected such a good result. Actually, I had prepared for the worst, that we might each have one child."

Xiaochun didn't sleep a wink last night, and her eyes were swollen when she woke up this morning. She kept thinking that if she could only choose one child, she wouldn't know which one to take with her.

Moreover, she knew that Xiao Zhao had another woman outside and would definitely find a stepmother for the child soon, and that stepmother would definitely treat the child badly.
