Qin Ye pulled out the contents of the safe, only to discover that it was filled with documents.
They were all documents pertaining to Hyatt Corporation.
As the amount of documents dwindled, he noticed … a black box at the bottom.
When he opened it, he discovered that there was a broken cell phone inside.
It was an older model. Qin Ye skillfully unlocked it, only to discover that it was still fully charged. It appeared that he had recharged it frequently.
Without any security measures, he went straight into the file management system.
Inside … it was packed full of videos!
"What's this?" Arthis was puzzled.
Qin Ye glanced at the thumbnail icon, "Look at the date … this should be all of That Amorous Affair's videos from the time she first met Wang Zemin."
She actually has videos!
Why didn't she post them on the internet back then?
He clicked on it and continued watching.
The content of the video was very ordinary. It began with That Amorous Affair in person. Although he had seen it five years ago, Qin Ye had to admit that she was a very beautiful woman.
Twenty-five or twenty-six years old was the transition period between youth and maturity. She exuded the aura of two different kinds of women at the same time.
Her eyebrows were slender, her face shaped like an oval, and her eyes were large and lively. It was the kind of face that one would find on the internet, but never in real life.
The video was shot in a very secretive location. It was filmed in a fixed location, rather than following people around. Most of the time, people couldn't see the entire video, and could only hear the conversation.
It started off very warmly, probably with sweet nothings between the two of them.
It was probably when the two of them first met. She loved taking selfies - most beautiful women had this hobby.
Furthermore, the selfies were often taken of their luxurious lives.
"The things on this woman aren't cheap at all. Tsk tsk, CEO Wang is quite willing to spend." Qin Ye sighed.
There were more than twenty videos, and none of them were short. Qin Ye watched them patiently.
However, the more he watched, the more discordant the content became.
It wasn't that the scale was too large. Rather, it was that … there were more and more arguments.
"When are you going to marry me?!"
"For your sake, I'm not going to work, and I'm not going home!
Don't you love me?
Don't you have someone else? "
A man's voice sounded somewhat impatient, "You can't rush things like this.
Listen to me. There's a big age gap between us, and there's still a lot to consider.
You don't want to end up with a broken family, do you? "
Qin Ye took a look at the dates. These videos spanned a considerable period of time. They all began five or six years ago, and lasted for an entire year.
Their lives were like heated water that was slowly boiling.
As time passed, That Amorous Affair became more and more unbearable.
The two of them quarreled more and more.
"You lied to me … you lied to me!!
You deserve to die!
You're married, aren't you?
Your child is studying at Sea City Middle School!
Why did you lie to me! "
"Listen to me, I love you … I have my own difficulties, but you have to believe in my feelings … Look, how about this leather coat? I'll buy it for you in two days, okay?
I've never bought these for my wife. "
"Scram!!"
Crash … In the video, a delicate vase fell to the ground, and Wang Zemin bellowed angrily, "Can you calm down and listen to what I'm saying?
Can't you wait a little longer for me?
Time, I need time! "
"I won't listen!
Get lost!
I gave you everything … You lied to me for almost a year!
I'm going to sue you! "
The video shook violently, almost as though the two of them had been knocked to the ground in the midst of a physical altercation. Only their feet could be seen.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Zemin could be seen hugging That Amorous Affair tightly, "Don't be like this. It's been more than a year. If I'd lied to you, would I still be here right now?"
"We have feelings for each other. Listen to me and give me some time. I'll buy you anything you want.
Don't say things like that, alright? "
The video ended.
Just as Qin Ye thought that the video was over, the black screen lit up once more. That Amorous Affair's beautiful face was covered in tears, and her hair was disheveled as she spoke to the screen, "He's lying to me."
"That's how I feel.
His child is already in his teens, and he's just in his first year of junior high. How could he possibly get a divorce for me? "
This woman had changed.
She continued to maintain her relationship with Wang Zemin for the rest of the video. However, she began to ask for more.
Money, money, and money.
From their conversation, Qin Ye understood that Wang Zemin had given her 30,000 RMB every month, as well as a number of branded goods.
However, as she repeatedly threatened to sue him, Wang Zemin gave her more and more. 50,000 RMB, 70,000 RMB … Finally, it reached 200,000 RMB, which Wang Zemin could no longer bear.
Hyatt wasn't a big company. Wang Zemin was the richest man in Clear Creek County, but he wasn't filthy rich.
Bickering became the norm in the last few videos.
"What the hell do you want?!
I've already given you 200,000 RMB every month, and you're still complaining that it's not enough?!
We should've broken up a long time ago! "
"Haha … break up?
That's easy for you to say, Wang. I've been clinging to you for more than a year now, and you still dare to talk about breaking up?
Do you believe that we'll meet in court tomorrow?
Do you still want to be a human?
Let your wife and children see what kind of a good father they're talking about! "
"You … fine … this is the last time. 500,000 RMB. Don't ever come looking for me again!"
Bang!
The door slammed shut.
Boiling water. No matter how small the fire, it would eventually boil over.
After more than a year of waiting, the water between the two of them had finally boiled over.
It was the second last video.
"How dare you barge into my company …" Wang Zemin's vicious-looking face could be seen clearly. Although the video was a little shaky, it was clear that That Amorous Affair was already paving the way for her own escape route.
Simply put, she had already guessed that this relationship would never bear fruit, and her attitude had shifted from offering to demanding.
She believed that she had given her youth, and this was what she deserved.
Whoosh … The latest Louis Vuitton handbag was placed on the office table, while the jewelry on her wrist was also from Cartier.
It was much more expensive than the simple accessories from before.
Her nails were also painted with pink nail polish, and she had maintained them beautifully.
That Amorous Affair must have brought the camera along with her. She couldn't see herself, and Qin Ye could only hear her saying, "A week ago, I made a post on Tianya."
It's here.
It was the time when the water began to bubble.
"I'd advise you to take a look at it."
Wang Zemin immediately switched on his computer. Seconds later, he shot to his feet and gritted his teeth, "You're fucking crazy!!"
"I called you, but you didn't pick up?
Change your phone number?
Blacklist me on WeChat?
Wang Zemin, you're really something!
Did you really think that I wouldn't be able to find you? "That Amorous Affair also stood up and bellowed at Qin Ye.
"Lower your voice!!"
Qin Ye could sense Wang Zemin's rage and fear even from the screen. He grabbed Wang Zemin's hand and hissed through gritted teeth, "What else do you want?!
Didn't I give you 500,000 RMB?!
What else do you want?! "
"The shares."
That Amorous Affair spoke bluntly, "Your company isn't that big anyway. Give me 15% of the shares.
Let's go our separate ways. "
Silence.
Qin Ye's heart was calm and placid. Truth be told, he hadn't expected things to turn out this way. He hadn't expected Wang Zemin's acting skills to be so superb, nor had he expected Wang Zemin to be so bold as to lie to an Emissary of Hell.
It was only because the stone had been placed here that he had revealed the password to the cabinet in a moment of panic.
Otherwise, perhaps nobody would ever have known about the existence of this cabinet.
That said, as an Emissary of Hell, Qin Ye had always viewed such matters as a storybook.
The same rice, the same people.
"What an exorbitant demand …" Qin Ye sighed, "She's basically looking for a long-term meal ticket for herself.
Wang Zemin has become her wage earner. She doesn't have to do anything at all, and yet she's able to receive dividends every year. This is the ultimate dream of all mistresses. "
"There's no way Wang Zemin would agree to this.
No wonder … no wonder he shed all pretense of cordiality in the end. "
"Bullshit!!"
Just as Qin Ye had expected, Wang Zemin sat back down and chuckled coldly, "We've been together for more than a year now. I've given you enough.
There's no room for discussion about the shares. "
After a brief moment of silence, That Amorous Affair responded placidly, "I'm pregnant with your child."
"Impossible!"
"Nothing's impossible."
A hand reached into the screen and picked up a cup of coffee, "Don't worry. For the sake of this child, I won't reveal this matter.
At the very least … the child still has some dignity. "
"Get lost." Wang Zemin barked coldly.
"You're ruthless, but I'm no pushover either. Just you wait and see." That Amorous Affair stood up and left.
Wang Zemin stared at her as though she were a dead person.
The final video.
Qin Ye couldn't see her face. All he could see was her hands typing furiously on the forum. Qin Ye glanced at the time. The video was uploaded a month later.
In other words, after the verdict was issued.
She was too naive.
The human heart was a difficult thing to judge.
If you can't withstand the test, then don't test it.
Wang Zemin had always had a fine line in his heart, which clearly defined what he could give, and what he couldn't.
But when he crossed this fine line, he finally chose to take the risk.
He had to pay a hefty price to put an end to everything.
Her repeated display of weakness had given That Amorous Affair the misconception that she had Wang Zemin in her grasp. Unfortunately, the leverage she had over Wang Zemin wasn't that solid.
In terms of status in society, the two of them were worlds apart.
"How could this be … how could this be?"
She typed furiously with both hands as she tried to explain something on the forum, "No … it's not like this!"
Her phone never stopped ringing. Wang Zemin was far more ruthless than she had expected. The verdict of the verdict had not only been posted on his Weibo, but it had also been posted to her hometown!
She picked up her phone. As soon as she did so, an enraged old man bellowed, "You … you'd better get your ass back here right now!!"
"Dad … listen to me …"
"You still have the cheek to say that?!
What have you done?
The verdict has been posted all over our neighbourhood!
You … you may be shameless, but we still have to!
Y-y-you … how could you do this?!
We're already in our fifties, so how are we supposed to raise our heads in public?!! "
Another sobbing female voice rang out, "My dear daughter, what have you done?
How could you … how could you destroy other people's families?!
You're going to be struck by lightning! "
"We've lived for decades, and all that's left of us is our faces!
You said that you were going to Eastsea to work, but … how did things turn out like this?!
My god!
Boohoohoo … "" Have you ever thought about us when you did these shameless things?! "
After hanging up the phone, That Amorous Affair's choked sobs finally turned into heart-wrenching wails.
Was it regret?
Regret that she should never have gotten to know this person?
Or regret that she shouldn't have been so hasty?
Or regret that she shouldn't have invested so much?
Nobody knew.
