After the divorce, the aloof CEO begged me not to withdraw my investment.

Ye Feng turned his head away in disgust and looked at Kong Xiaoyue.

Kong Xiaoyue's face was pale, she bit her lower lip, and her hands were nervously twisted together.

I blame myself for being greedy for cheap deals back then.

The standard rental price in this area is around 5,000, but she rented a place for 3,600 because she was greedy for a cheaper price. Now it seems she really made a mistake.

"Pay up now! Otherwise, I'll sue you in court!" Ye Feng said sternly.

The second son's wife cried even louder: "No money! We have no money! This is robbery!"

"No money? Then just wait for the court summons." Ye Feng gave them no room for negotiation.

He turned to Xu San and said, "Throw them out and close the door."

Xu San nodded and pushed everyone out.

The door slammed shut with a bang.

The world suddenly became quiet.

Ye Feng finally had a chance to take a good look at Kong Xiaoyue.

She has an oval face and delicate features; although she is dressed simply, her elegant temperament is undeniable.

"Hello, my name is Ye Feng." Ye Feng extended his hand.

Kong Xiaoyue quickly wiped her hands and somewhat awkwardly grasped Ye Feng's hand: "Hello, Mr. Ye, my name is Kong Xiaoyue, thank you for helping me out of that predicament."

"You're welcome." Ye Feng withdrew his hand, then introduced Xu San beside him, "This is Xu San."

Kong Xiaoyue then noticed Xu San, who had been standing silently behind Ye Feng.

She felt that Xu San looked somewhat familiar.

Yes, she seemed to have seen him at the company's security department that afternoon.

"Are you... from the company's security department?" Kong Xiaoyue asked uncertainly.

Xu San nodded: "Yes, Miss Kong, I work in the security department."

Kong Xiaoyue didn't say anything more, but looked at Ye Feng with concern: "Mr. Ye, do you think they will come looking for trouble with me again in the future?"

She paused, then added, "Moreover, this house... seems to have some issues with its ownership. An elderly person passed away there before, so I feel a bit uncomfortable living here."

Ye Feng decisively said, "Let's move, let's move now."

Ye Feng had barely finished speaking when his phone rang.

It was Liu Qingyi calling.

"Hello, Qingyi, what's wrong?" Ye Feng answered the phone.

"It's already 6:30, why aren't you back yet?" Liu Qingyi asked worriedly.

"Something came up, I'll be back later."

Ye Feng gave a brief explanation and then hung up the phone.

Seeing this, Kong Xiaoyue asked cautiously, "Mr. Ye, is your wife... angry?"

Before Ye Feng could answer, she said dejectedly, "What am I supposed to do now? Is the compensation you mentioned... really true?"

Just as Ye Feng was about to explain, a knock suddenly sounded on the door.

It was the two brothers, the second oldest, who didn't bring their wives this time.

“We…we are willing to reconcile,” the second son said, head bowed.

The eldest brother behind the second brother quickly said, "We'll refund your prepaid rent and deposit, and give you an extra five thousand in compensation. What do you think?"

Ye Feng shook his head: "No, each of you will pay five thousand as compensation for emotional distress."

The two brothers hesitated for a moment, but ultimately agreed.

Kong Xiaoyue got back all her rent deposit, plus 10,000 yuan in compensation.

She felt like she was dreaming.

After the two brothers slunk away, Ye Feng turned around and instructed Xu San, "Xu San, help Miss Kong move."

Xu San nodded and replied, "Okay, boss."

He then began helping Kong Xiaoyue pack her simple luggage.

Kong Xiaoyue watched Xu San pack the food quickly and was momentarily at a loss.

She hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question that had been bothering her: "Mr. Ye, the contract for this house... clearly has problems, so why did the agency still rent it to me?"

It's all about performance and money, of course.

This girl is incredibly naive.

However, Ye Feng didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked, "Miss Kong, did you use a legitimate real estate agency when you rented the apartment?"

Kong Xiaoyue was speechless for a moment and stammered, unable to answer.

She was looking for a cheap apartment and didn't carefully consider whether the agency was legitimate.

Looking at Kong Xiaoyue's embarrassed expression, Ye Feng already knew the answer in his heart.

"I suspect that the agent probably knew about the property dispute and deliberately rented it to you to make a profit."

Kong Xiaoyue only realized this belatedly.

She mustered her courage and asked, "Mr. Ye, could you... help me find a safe place to live? I really don't know what to do."

This is a good opportunity to get closer.

Ye Feng readily agreed.

"Of course, I'll help you find a safer place to stay later."

After hearing this, Kong Xiaoyue looked at him gratefully, then at Xu San who was busy, and felt much more at ease.

Ye Feng naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to get closer to them, so he suggested, "By the way, let's go check out that agency we met before. If they really cheated you, we'll ask them to compensate you for your losses."

He turned and walked towards the door, with Xu San and Kong Xiaoyue following closely behind.

Ye Feng followed Kong Xiaoyue and Xu San to the real estate agency.

As it happened, Manager Wu, who had received Kong Xiaoyue, was in the store.

When Manager Wu saw Kong Xiaoyue, his expression changed slightly, and he instinctively tried to back away.

"Manager Wu!" Kong Xiaoyue raised her voice and called out to him.

Manager Wu paused, then awkwardly turned around. "Ms. Kong, is there...is there something you need?"

"This Mr. Ye wants to see you," Kong Xiaoyue said, pointing to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng stepped forward, staring sharply at him. "Manager Wu, you should know very well what kind of behavior it is to rent out a house with property disputes, right?"

Manager Wu felt a moment of panic, but he forced himself to remain calm. "Mr. Ye, what do you mean by that? I don't quite understand."

Ye Feng sneered, "Don't understand? Then let me make it clearer. You knew that the house had a property dispute, yet you deliberately rented it to Miss Kong to profit from it. That already constitutes fraud."

The other staff members in the real estate agency all stopped what they were doing and looked over here.

Xu San took out his phone at the opportune moment and pretended to make a call, "Hey, Lao Zhang, bring a few people over here. Yes, right here... someone is not cooperating with the work."

He deliberately raised his voice so that the intermediary could hear him clearly.

Manager Wu's face turned even uglier.

He secretly glanced at Ye Feng and Xu San, and his heart began to waver.

Ye Feng's aura was too powerful; he didn't look like an ordinary person.

Xu San's phone call made him even more wary.

Manager Wu said tremblingly, "Mr. Ye, this matter was indeed handled improperly by us. How about this, we refund the agency fee and then find Ms. Kong a suitable new apartment?"

Ye Feng turned to look at Kong Xiaoyue, "How much agency fee did you pay?"

"Five thousand," Kong Xiaoyue answered softly.

Ye Feng turned his gaze back, his tone icy, "Refund one, compensate three."

Manager Wu's face turned pale. "This... the company won't compensate for this. It'll have to come out of my own pocket..."

He looked dejected. "Mr. Ye, I'm really short on funds right now. Could you... waive the agency fee and provide Ms. Kong with a good apartment as compensation for the five thousand yuan?"
