Divorced at fifty, I embarked on my path to success.

When Mei Yusheng heard Xie Mingqi address Qin Chu, she glanced at her sideways. Where did this "President Qin" come from? Who knows if he's a notorious thief?

Qin Chu entered the room, his sharp eyes quickly scanning the room before settling on Mei Yusheng. He gave a slight nod as a greeting.

"Where is the safe?" He cut straight to the point, without beating around the bush.

Mei Yusheng hurriedly led him to the study, and glanced at Qin Chu in the process.

It has to be admitted that he is really handsome. He looks elegant and capable in a suit and agile and dashing in sportswear. He has his own unique temperament and is equally outstanding.

From the moment he walked in, Xie Mingqi's eyes were glued to him, and she had long forgotten about finding evidence.

Seeing that he didn't carry much, Mei Yusheng couldn't help but wonder if he had guessed the password. She couldn't resist following him to see.

Qin Chu examined the safe for two seconds and said in a deep voice, "An old-fashioned safe, not difficult to open. Give me three minutes."

Mei Yusheng stared at him in astonishment. Three minutes?

A fleeting look of guilt crossed Qin Chu's deep eyes. He glanced at her sideways and asked in an unfriendly tone, "Do you want to learn from me?"

Mei Yusheng subconsciously took a step back: "No, no, I..."

She tactfully pulled Xie Mingqi outside the door. Xie Mingqi pouted and muttered under her breath, "Afraid someone will learn his trick? Tch, pretending to be profound. Let's see what he says if we can't open it later."

Less than three minutes later, Qin Chu was heard saying from inside, "Alright, come in."

Mei Yusheng rushed in, the safe door was wide open, and Qin Chu stood casually to the side with his hands in his pockets.

She didn't have time to say anything else and started searching for something useful.

Besides several property ownership certificates, there were also more than a dozen gold bars stacked inside. Mei Yusheng's eyes were fixed on a thick ledger, an old-fashioned ledger bound in thread.

She pulled it out, flipped through a few pages, and her eyes widened in surprise.

It contains a clear and organized record of a person, a time, an event, the amount of the bribe, witnesses, and so on.

It's much clearer and more comprehensive than that leather-bound notebook.

"Wow, so many gold bars! Yusheng, take them all quickly, don't leave a single one behind!" Xie Mingqi said, clutching the gold bars in her hand and holding them to her chest, while giving Qin Chu a wary look.

Qin Chu rolled his eyes and walked out without saying a word.

Mei Yusheng felt a mix of emotions; she had finally obtained evidence that could keep Yue Jiangting in check!

The divorce was about to be arranged, but she felt no joy at all.

She wasn't interested in anything else; she just stood up, clutching the ledger, and closed the safe again.

"Rain Sound," Xie Mingqi said, glancing outside while holding the gold bar, "Do you think we should share one with Qin Chu?"

Mei Yusheng snapped out of her daze and looked at the things in her arms with a complicated expression.

Back in the living room, Mei Yusheng found that Qin Chu had already left. She received a text message on her phone: "I'm leaving. Contact me if you need anything. I wish you a smooth divorce!"

Mei Yusheng hesitated for a moment, then sent him a message: "Thank you."

"He seems so kind-hearted. He actually left without asking for money, helping out for free. Are there still living Lei Fengs in this world?" Xie Mingqi hugged the gold bars tightly and refused to let go. "Could it be that he took a few beforehand? Otherwise, why would he leave in such a hurry, like he had a guilty conscience?"

“Don’t make baseless malicious assumptions about others,” Mei Yusheng felt uncomfortable when she heard Xie Mingqi say such things about Qin Chu. “He could have just asked us for it openly and honestly. Since he didn’t ask, it means he really doesn’t want any compensation.”

"Mmm!" Xie Mingqi nodded vigorously. "Yusheng, what do you think we should do with these gold bars?"

Mei Yu glanced at the golden-yellow thing, unable to think of a place to put it.

"Let's go to the bank and rent a safe deposit box right away to store it," Xie Mingqi suggested. "I'll keep the key for you, so that Yue Jiangting and his son don't steal it."

Mei Yusheng nodded in agreement: "Please save it for me. I want to give this evidence to Attorney Qin first."

“Okay, let’s split up!” Xie Mingqi readily agreed. “I’ll take you to the law firm first, and after you deposit the gold bars, I’ll come back to pick you up.”

Mei Yu entered Jiayu Law Firm with a nervous heart. Qin Zhan received a call from Qin Chu, put aside other matters, and waited for her.

Seeing the evidence, he was pleasantly surprised: "That's great. First, take a picture of what's inside with your phone and show it to your husband. Next, are you going to take legal action directly, or are you planning to settle it privately?"

Mei Yusheng was in a state of turmoil. During the process of collecting evidence, she was a little impatient, but when she actually got the evidence and the divorce became a reality and within reach, she hesitated and felt uneasy.

"Let's settle this privately first." She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "If that doesn't work, then we'll go through legal proceedings."

She doesn't want her son to be involved in this matter if she can get appropriate compensation.

She couldn't live with Yue Jiangting anymore, but she didn't want to affect her son and daughter-in-law's lives.

Qin Zhan understood her feelings and nodded: "Okay, but I suggest you don't go home to live, just in case."

Mei Yusheng looked up in surprise, a look of shock flashing in her eyes: "You mean..."

“I’m worried that Yue Jiangting might do something desperate. After all, this material involves too many high-level secrets, and it could easily bring you to your death.” Qin Zhan frowned, his expression grave. “It would be better to have evidence like tax evasion.”

Mei Yusheng only then realized the seriousness of the situation and couldn't help but feel a little scared: "But, I have nowhere to stay."

"Where's your best friend's house? You can stay there for a few days, right?"

Mei Yusheng didn't want to implicate Xie Mingqi. She had already helped her a lot these past few days, and she would feel very guilty if Yue Jiangting took his anger out on Xie Mingqi because of this.

What should I do if I'm in a difficult situation?

Mei Yusheng couldn't think of any other place to stay when suddenly a bright idea flashed in her mind, "That villa! Yes, I can stay in the villa for the time being."

Qin Zhan shook his head with a serious expression: "No, that was given to you by your husband. He'll probably keep a separate set of keys. It's not safe."

"Then, shall I stay in a hotel for the time being?" Mei Yusheng said uncertainly.

She used to devote herself entirely to her family and rarely made friends. She seemed to have a home and relatives, but once she reached the point of divorce, she found that she had no one by her side.

She had just thought of her younger brother, Mei Zichen, but she was worried that it would implicate them. Besides, even if Zichen would protect her, there was also Chen Yue, and she wasn't confident.

"How about this, you wait a moment." Qin Zhan turned and went to the lounge next door.

Mei Yusheng lowered her head and pondered. If all else failed, she would go back to her hometown, Meixian, where her parents still lived in two old houses and there were some distant relatives who might be able to help her.

"Aunt Mei, I just told my second uncle that you should go hide at his place for a while." Qin Zhan walked out with a smile on his lips.

"No, there's no need for that!" Mei Yusheng refused without even thinking. She had only met Qin Chu twice and exchanged no more than five sentences with him. How could she possibly stay at a strange man's house?

Besides, although the man was handsome, his skill in unlocking and opening safes made people think badly. How could they possibly be walking into the lion's den?

She stole a glance at Qin Zhan. Would a lawyer team up with a criminal?

My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly shook off that terrible thought.

"Don't worry, don't have any concerns. Right now, my second uncle's place is the safest." Qin Zhan looked at Mei Yusheng meaningfully. "You really don't know my second uncle? His name is Qin Chu!"

Mei Yusheng frowned in thought, then suddenly a thought flashed through her mind: "Qin Chu! Could it be him?"
