On the day of the divorce, I became Qin Shao's darling.

"Hello, Attorney Qin."

On the other end, Qin Jiamo's voice was low: "Are you free at noon today? The police have sent word that Su Yunfan wants to see you, saying he wants to renegotiate the divorce."

Lin Xiwei immediately understood. "Does he intend to agree to leave with nothing in exchange for avoiding administrative detention?"

Because when Su Daqiang and his daughter went to the hospital to make a scene yesterday, this is what Qin Jiamo said to them in the end—if they wanted to be exempted from administrative penalties, then they had to agree to leave with nothing.

Although Su Linlin was indignant at the time, shouting that it was absolutely impossible.

But there's no guarantee they won't change their minds once they get back.

After all, spending fifteen days in a detention center is not something most people can endure.

Moreover, Su Yunfan has a company to manage, and his sudden disappearance for fifteen days could cause considerable losses.

Most importantly—it's a matter of a man's dignity and face.

If you go in and spend half a month in jail, all your relatives, friends, and business partners will definitely know when you come out.

Once the company dies, how will he survive? How will he do business and negotiate deals?

After weighing the options, Su Yunfan definitely felt that "as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn" was the better approach.

"I'm not sure if that's the reason, we'll find out when we go over there," Qin Jiamo replied.

"Okay, I'm free at noon."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiwei didn't have time to think about Feng Zheqian anymore and quickly returned to her workstation to get back to work.

In fact, Lin Xiwei had guessed the reason why Su Yunfan wanted to see her.

Indeed, this bastard has come to his senses and is willing to "leave with nothing" in exchange for personal freedom.

the reason is simple.

According to laws and regulations, after the police make a decision on administrative detention, they will generally send the person to the detention center within 24 hours.

Once someone is detained, it becomes difficult to cancel or change the administrative penalty decision.

In order to win the divorce case, Su Yunfan spent a lot of money to hire a very famous divorce lawyer from another city.

When the lawyer learned that Su Yunfan had been taken to the police station by the plaintiff's lawyer for domestic violence and that the police had left irrefutable evidence, he became furious and gave Su Yunfan a severe dressing-down.

This kind of extremely basic mistake is tantamount to handing a knife to the other party.

The lawyer felt that even if they went to court, the chances of winning were not high.

It would be better to exchange "leaving with nothing" for fifteen days of personal freedom, at least preserving one's personal image and company reputation—a lesser of two evils.

Su Yunfan himself panicked.

He never expected that his impulsive act would have such serious consequences.

If he loses the lawsuit and leaves with nothing, and the company's reputation is damaged because of him, its future development will also be affected. That would truly be a double loss.

After weighing the options, he decided to talk to Lin Xiwei again.

He'd rather leave with nothing than maintain his personal freedom and preserve the company's reputation.

At noon, Lin Xiwei left in a hurry as soon as it was time to get off work and rushed to the police station.

On the way, she made a phone call to Junjun.

The little guy, without a nanny to take care of him, could only "stay" in Mrs. Qin's ward, eating and drinking well, quite content and at ease.

Knowing Lin Xiwei was worried, Mr. Qin said on the phone, "Don't worry, the child is well-behaved, we're taking good care of him. You just focus on your own things."

Lin Xiwei was extremely grateful to the two elders.

When she arrived at the police station, Qin Jiamo was already there, waiting at the entrance.

Seeing her approach, Qin Jiamo glanced at her indifferently and frowned: "Why does your face look even worse than yesterday?"

"Yes, the doctor said that subcutaneous bleeding is like this, and it will gradually subside in a couple of days."

Lin Xiwei felt embarrassed when she saw him, thinking about her embarrassing moments and his description of her "two-faced" appearance.

She subconsciously lowered her head, brushed the hair behind her ear to cover her injured face.

"Why cover up? You should show it off openly so that we can negotiate." Qin Jiamo said casually when he saw her actions.

"..." Lin Xiwei was taken aback, and muttered as she caught up with him, "I'm afraid my two-faced appearance will give Attorney Qin nightmares at night."

Qin Jiamo laughed, "You're quite vengeful."

"You talk as if you're so generous..." Lin Xiwei continued to mutter.

After the two entered the office, the police officer in charge of mediation, Su Yunfan, the lawyer Su Yunfan had hired at great expense, Su Daqiang and Su Linlin, and Zhong Yurou were all waiting.

Seeing Qin Jiamo and Lin Xiwei walk in, Su Yunfan's expression changed, and his gaze lingered on her face, seemingly surprised that her injuries were so serious.

When Su Yunfan's lawyer saw Qin Jiamo, he smiled and stood up: "Senior Brother Qin, it's been a long time."

Upon hearing this, both Su Yunfan and Lin Xiwei were taken aback.

But Lin Xiwei quickly realized that it was perfectly normal for someone of Qin Jiamo's status to encounter her fellow disciples in the industry.

Qin Jiamo shook hands with the man, then casually raised her eyelids. "Zhang Ye, how come you're getting more and more pathetic? You even take on cases involving this kind of scum?"

Attorney Zhang smiled and said, "Brother Qin, we're not as famous as you, with cases piling up all over us. We have to work hard to make a living."

Su Yunfan stared, surprised and angry: "Attorney Zhang, why didn't you say before that you and he were alumni?"

Attorney Zhang said, "What's so strange about running into alumni in our circle? Besides, if I didn't know your plaintiff's lawyer was Senior Brother Qin, I wouldn't have taken the case either. If I weren't looking to learn from you, I wouldn't bother with such a despicable lawsuit."

Seeing Lin Xiwei injured like this, Attorney Zhang couldn't help but feel contempt for Su Yunfan.

—How can you be so cruel to your wife?!

No wonder Senior Brother Qin looked down on him for taking on such a trivial case.

Su Yunfan was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Su Linlin stood up for her brother, saying, "You two have known each other for a long time, isn't that deception? You would never seriously fight for us in court! You might even have been bribed by him."

Attorney Zhang said, "If you don't trust me, you can terminate the contract."

Su Yunfan knew that it was impossible to terminate the contract now, as doing so would put him at a greater disadvantage.

"Linlin." Su Yunfan called to his sister, signaling her not to cause trouble, then looked at the police, "Let's begin."

Seeing Su Yunfan looking like a stray dog, Lin Xiwei finally felt some relief from the frustration that had been building up in her heart for so long.

The police officer sat up, looked at the parties involved on both sides, and briefly explained the theme of today's "gathering together".

"Since Mr. Su is willing to admit his mistake and offer sincere compensation, we have brought both sides together to sit down and discuss the case again. Now you can speak freely and make sure you say what you think and what you need to say."

After the police officer finished speaking, he specifically looked at Su Yunfan and reminded him, "Mr. Su, you'd better seize this opportunity. If this negotiation fails, we'll have to send you to the detention center immediately."

"Okay." Su Yunfan was annoyed, but he still nodded obediently.

"Okay, let's begin."

Lin Xiwei sat quietly, her eyes fixed on the table, not even bothering to look at the person opposite her.

Several pages of documents were placed in front of Qin Jiamo. Han Rui, who was sitting next to him, turned on his computer and also turned on his voice recorder.

Everyone was waiting for Su Yunfan to speak.

But Su Yunfan seemed lost in thought and remained silent.

Zhong Yurou, who was a seat away from him, was also like a quail, keeping quiet and not saying a word, and had lost her arrogance and swagger from a while ago.

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Zhangye had no choice but to turn around and look at him.

"Mr. Su, don't you want to settle? First, offer a verbal apology in person, then make compensation measures and see if the other party is willing to forgive."

Attorney Zhang reminded him, and Su Yunfan sat up, looking at Lin Xiwei. After some deliberation, he said, "Weiwei, about yesterday... I'm sorry. I acted impulsively and regretted it afterwards. I shouldn't have hit you. I was wrong. Please forgive me."

Hearing this, Lin Xiwei felt a sense of relief, but not quite enough.

Qin Jiamo looked at her, tilting his chin slightly towards her, as if to say—make a statement.

Lin Xiwei took a breath, looked across at the other side, and instead of responding to Su Yunfan's apology, asked Zhong Yurou, "What about you? Have you thought about your apology yet?"

Zhong Yurou was taken aback, then looked up. "Me?"

"Otherwise what? You were one of the people who attacked me yesterday, weren't you?"

Zhong Yurou's face turned ugly. "Lin Xiwei, you've already won. Is it necessary to be so petty?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiwei immediately stood up: "Attorney Qin, let's go. Their apology wasn't sincere enough."

"Wait!" Su Yunfan immediately called out to her, turning around to glare at Zhong Yurou. "Apologize quickly, do you want me to come in?"

Chung Yu-jou retorted, "This was originally just a mediation for you, why should I apologize?"

"Just apologize!" Su Yunfan said urgently.

At this moment, Zhang Ye spoke up: "What exactly do you see in this woman? I have a feeling she's deliberately trying to get you in?"

Su Linlin suddenly exploded, turning to yell at Zhong Yurou: "Just apologize when I tell you to! What are you dawdling about? If you hadn't run back from abroad and clung to my brother, would he be in this situation today? He had a happy family and a successful career, and you've ruined it all! You're a vixen, a jinx, a piece of trash, you know that?!"

Zhong Yurou had never been insulted like this before, and her expression immediately changed: "Su Linlin, watch your mouth!"

"Alright! What's all the noise about? Do you still want mediation?" The policeman slammed his hand on the table and shouted sternly, "If you don't want mediation, then disperse. My colleagues are waiting outside. We're taking you to the detention center immediately."

The thought of going in made Su Yunfan's hands tremble with fear. He quickly pleaded with Zhong Yurou, "Xiaorou, just apologize. What good will it do you if I go in?"

After watching the drama unfold for a while, Lin Xiwei casually remarked, "Only if you go in will she be able to find someone else. Do you think she'll stay with you if you lose everything?"

Zhong Yurou's eyes looked guilty; Lin Xiwei had clearly guessed right.

Facing the pressure from the gazes of the people around her, she pursed her lips and finally reluctantly said, "I'm sorry."

Lin Xiwei sat down again: "That's too perfunctory."

"Lin Xiwei, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have hit you yesterday. I was wrong." Zhong Yurou suppressed her displeasure and spoke again.

Lin Xiwei was slightly satisfied, then turned her gaze back to Su Yunfan: "I accept the apology, what's next?"

Su Yunfan gritted his teeth, his handcuffed hands clenched tightly together.

He was truly unwilling to leave with nothing; those assets were the result of his hard work and accumulation over several years.

Now we have to hand everything over to others.

But no matter how reluctant he was, he had no other choice now.

"I agree to the divorce, and the terms will be as you said. Except for my car and company, everything else is yours." Su Yunfan said these words almost like a walking corpse, his heart bleeding.

That large penthouse alone cost ten or twenty million.

Before Lin Xiwei could speak, Qin Jiamo said, "The company is the most valuable asset, yet it all belongs to you—is that what you call leaving with nothing?"

Su Yunfan raised his eyes: "What do you mean? You're even going to take over my company?"

Lin Xiwei said, "I don't want your company, but Attorney Qin has already found out its market value. I'll leave you with enough capital to continue operating; half of its market value will be fine."

Qin Jiamo continued, "It's about fifty million."

Su Linlin's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but speak up again: "Lin Xiwei, you've gone too far! Giving you all the family's assets isn't enough, you even want half of the company!"

Qin Jiamo: "If you are unwilling to pay, you can choose to split the equity, but this will be very detrimental to the company's future listing - think it through."

Su Yunfan didn't speak, but turned to look at Attorney Zhang.

Attorney Zhang glanced at Qin Jiamo, then leaned closer to Su Yunfan and whispered, "What he said is true. In your situation, even if it goes to court, the judge will award the plaintiff a portion of the shares. A simple buyout will solve the problem once and for all."

Su Daqiang slammed his fist on the table: "Where did you get this half-baked lawyer from? I think he's a fraud! Whose side are you on anyway?!"

Attorney Zhang sighed, "Sir, your son's situation is a mess that no one can salvage. Do you even know how many taboos he's broken?"

After Zhangye took over the case, he conducted an investigation.

Initial reports indicate that Su Yunfan has not only committed adultery and is suspected of abandonment, but has also transferred marital assets, his company has tax evasion issues, and now he is committing domestic violence…

With so many charges against him, Qin Jiamo could crush him to pieces.

Su Yunfan raised his hand and pressed his father down, making him sit down.

Then, he looked up at the other side and said, "I don't have that much money right now."

Qin Jiamo: "We can pay in installments, with a certain percentage paid each year until the full amount is paid. We can agree on these details in the agreement."

Su Yunfan gritted his teeth.

"Also, we have some evidence of the marital property you transferred overseas. If you agree to leave with nothing, you will need to get that portion of the property back," Qin Jiamo added.

What? Su Yunfan was surprised again.

He thought that the transfer of assets was done discreetly and that Qin Jiamo wouldn't be able to find out.

He had thought that if he could hide those tens of millions, leaving with nothing wouldn't be a big deal, but who knew—

Su Yunfan suddenly regretted it. He looked at Attorney Zhang and said, "Besides leaving with nothing, what other way do you have for me to escape this administrative penalty?"

Before Attorney Zhang could speak, the police officer said, "Don't even dream about it. Without Ms. Lin issuing a letter of understanding, you can't escape your fate."

Another police officer continued, "You need to obtain Ms. Lin's forgiveness. Once she agrees to a settlement and signs the document, and then you pay a certain amount of bail as required, you can be exempted from punishment. Moreover, this 'exemption' does not mean that the punishment is completely canceled; it only means that you don't have to go to the detention center now. You have the opportunity for administrative review, which is equivalent to a postponement of execution—you can only be exempted from detention after the administrative review is approved."

Su Yunfan listened intently, growing more and more desperate with each word.

Lin Xiwei looked at his reaction and smiled disdainfully: "So you suddenly agreed to leave with nothing because you thought I didn't know about the huge amount of assets you transferred overseas..."

Su Yunfan looked at Lin Xiwei with a bitter face, realizing that a hard approach wouldn't work, so he had to try a softer one.

"Weiwei, we were husband and wife, are you really going to destroy me? This failed marriage was definitely more my fault, but don't you bear any responsibility at all?"
