My dad's words made me stop in my tracks. Before I even asked him anything, he had already laid out all the threats he was telling me.

“If the company goes bankrupt, not only will your grandfather’s years of hard work be destroyed, but our family will also have debts, and your mother will have to share the burden with me. Even if she wants a divorce, she will have to get my consent.”

He had been dragging his feet on getting a divorce in order to maintain his public image, and now he's using this to threaten me.

"Then tell me, what would it take for you to divorce my mother?" I couldn't help but ask, my remaining fatherly affection for him was almost completely worn away.

“There is absolutely no way I will divorce your mother at this time, unless she is willing to give me a sum of money to help me through the company’s difficulties.” My father’s eyes were filled with greed and madness.

The lawyer chimed in, saying that my mother also had a share in the company, and that any losses would be shared equally.

Although I also hope that the two of them can divorce as soon as possible, I still need to ask my mother's opinion on this matter. "I will tell my mother about this, and if she agrees, of course there is no problem."

Watching him swagger away with his lawyer, my anger flared even more.

Su Jiayi looked at me with some worry and asked cautiously, "Your dad suddenly agreed to a divorce, but he's asking for money right away. Judging from his attitude today, he seems very eager about this. What if he makes an exorbitant demand?"

"I want my mom to divorce him, but I don't plan to give him any money." I have nothing to hide from Su Jiayi. In fact, I have to thank Xu Hongye. If he hadn't told me that my dad had borrowed money from loan sharks, I might have been kept in the dark.

Since he has already gone astray, all I need to do is stall for time. When he is forced into a corner, he will have no choice but to lower his demands in order to get the money.

The more important thing now is that the Fu family has already acquired the land in the east of the city. Before long, the news of the actual development of the eastern part of the city will spread quickly. At that time, the most important thing will be how Uncle Ge gets rid of the troubles he has been dealing with.

After discussing it with Ge Zeyu, the best approach was to strike first. As soon as the approval was granted, we would spread the word immediately, before Changxin had a chance to ship the goods.

In this way, even if people in the business world want to cause trouble, they won't be able to find anyone. And anyone with a brain would understand that this is all a scheme by the Fu family.

I suddenly realized something important and quickly reminded them, "And most importantly, if we want everyone to know that the Fu family fooled everyone, the best way is to find evidence."

The land in the west of the city originally belonged to the Fu family. In order not to arouse suspicion, they used various means to hide their identities and sell the land.

Therefore, as long as it can be proven that these places are all under the Fu family's name, it can unite all the businessmen in the business circle to boycott the Fu family.

"Leave this to me," Xu Qing quickly said. "I know people from all walks of life. Although my strength isn't on the mainland, it's relatively easy for me to find a few people to help me."

After discussing the matter, Xu Qing turned to Ge Zeyu and said, "I've already taken care of the thing you asked me to do. To be honest, I originally thought we would have to suffer a loss this time regarding the land in the east of the city, but I didn't expect you to pull the rug out from under us."

Hearing their conversation, I was filled with doubt and couldn't help but ask what was going on.

Xu Qing spread his hands, indicating to me, "I'm going to investigate the evidence. Let him explain this to you personally!"

As soon as he left, I could no longer contain my curiosity and went to Ge Zeyu's side to ask him what he had done to that piece of land in Chengde.

After all, with the Fu family and Chang Xin joining forces, although the two of them can't be said to have absolute power, they can hold down half the country. Now that the land is in their hands, I really can't think of any way to turn the situation around.

Ge Zeyu turned his head and glanced at me, then looked at the empty cup in front of him and said seriously, "I'm a little thirsty too, having not had any water for so long."

She couldn't help but laugh, poured him some water herself, squatted down in front of him, and said in an annoyed tone, "Young Master Ge, I've brought you water, now you can finally talk, right?"

A company wanted to find a piece of land to build an auction house. In order to make their auction house establishment go more smoothly, I acted as a go-between for them, asking them to set aside 0.1% of their profits each year for a public welfare project.

The Fu family not only cares about their reputation but also wants to gain a good name. This auction building is not only for profit but also for public welfare. Once the Fu family builds an auction building around this land, do you think they can still build a commercial district?

If they want to continue with their original plan, they cannot use forceful means; they can only negotiate properly, which will cause the Fu family some trouble for a while.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. I finally felt much better. I had been pressured by Fu Xinyi, and at the crucial moment, I failed. Then Ge Zeyu handed me a hot potato.

Even if they can't dissuade the Fu family from expanding their business empire, they can still make them bleed money. "What about that piece of land at the auction house?"

When I asked him tentatively, Ge Zeyu didn't hide anything and told me that he had already bought all the land in the surrounding area.

His words surprised me. The Fu family wanted to buy land, but they were afraid of alerting the enemy, so they had been doing it secretly. Moreover, the reason why the Fu family wanted to buy land in the east of the city was because they knew that the new approval would be issued soon. When did Ge Zeyu start thinking about this?

Ge Zeyu stared intently at me. "Ever since I heard your guess last time, I've started buying land."

His words made my heart skip a beat, and an indescribable feeling spread through me. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, I subconsciously blurted out, "You trust me that much? I'm just guessing. What if I'm wrong?"

Buying land is definitely not a small amount of money. Even though he and Xu Qing jointly opened a company, others don't know that he also has a share in the company, and they won't give him any convenience because of Uncle Ge.

This money must have been hard-earned, yet he invested it so easily.

Ge Zeyu was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses, clenched his fist and coughed lightly, "If I don't believe you, who will I believe?"

"Moreover, judging from the current situation, I will not lose money no matter what if I buy these lands; it's just a matter of time before development begins."

"You..." I had only uttered one word when Su Jiayi knocked on the door and came in. "Miss Jiang, someone just delivered an invitation to you."

I took the invitation, opened it, and saw the signature on it. I couldn't help but turn to look at Ge Zeyu in surprise.
