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

"Investigate! Find out who owns that license plate number, find out who helped Mei Yusheng!" Yue Jiangting put down his phone with a gloomy face.

In the president's office of Yue's Company, Yue Guangzhi noticed his father's unusual expression and asked with surprise and worry, "Mom, did you really find someone to help? Who is it?"

“I never knew your mother had this ability! Humph!” Yue Jiangting slammed his fist heavily on the table, and the muscles on his face twitched nervously. “Someone saw her get into a black Cullinan.”

"Hey, Cullinan, huh? It's a limited edition from last year. How can your mom, at her age, still manage to hook up with a rich guy?"

Yue Jiangting's eyes were dark and narrowed into slits, his brows furrowed in a knot.

"Huh? How is that possible?" Yue Guangzhi's eyes widened dramatically. "Which rich guy is blind enough to fall for my mom? If he's not out of his mind, why would he ignore so many young girls who are eager to date him and fall for a menopausal old woman?"

Realizing that she had been a bit harsh in saying that about her mother, she glanced at her father's face with a grin and asked, puzzled, "Dad, that's impossible. What are you worried about?"

He almost blurted out, "If Mom had that kind of charm, would Dad still cheat on you?"

His childhood reverence for his father kept him from acting recklessly.

"You brainless idiot, all you can think about is relationships between men and women. Can't you think of anything else?" Yue Jiangting rolled his eyes at him with exasperation.

Yue Guangzhi's expression calmed down a bit. He scratched his head in confusion, then his eyes suddenly lit up: "Really?"

"You figured it out?" A hint of relief flashed in Yue Jiangting's eyes. Luckily, his son wasn't completely stupid.

"Someone is getting close to Mom to find out our strengths and weaknesses so they can find something to use against us?" Yue Guangzhi's expression turned serious. "They must be our adversaries!"

“You’re only half right,” Yue Jiangting glanced at him with a complicated expression. “He’s already seized the opportunity!”

"What?" Yue Guangzhi thought for a moment and then realized, "He took advantage of the opportunity to help my mother get a divorce to obtain our account books!"

The last sentence was filled with boundless terror.

"What do we do? Dad, Mom has really messed us up this time!"

"Your mother is a brainless idiot, thinking she's so clever, and she's being used and still grateful to those who took advantage of her!" Yue Jiangting seemed to be infected by Yue Guangzhi's fear, pacing back and forth in the room, his disordered steps revealing his unease. "If she knew that she single-handedly bankrupted us and plunged you and Xuanxuan into poverty, she'd have nowhere to cry! Idiot!"

"Maybe my mother hasn't given the account book to that person yet?" Yue Guangzhi said with a hint of hope, but his tone was very unconvincing.

"The most urgent task is to find out who our opponent is as soon as possible!" Yue Jiangting sat down in his chair, his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly. "It's either one of those two companies. As long as it's not them, we have nothing to fear."

"The Han family and the Chu family?" Yue Guangzhi looked somewhat confused. "But I don't remember either of those families owning a limited edition Cullinan."

Yue Jiangting's eyes flashed: "That's right! Logically speaking, those two families aren't rich enough to buy such luxurious cars. Even we wouldn't be able to afford something like that. Even if they were rich, they wouldn't be so ostentatious!"

The more he thought about it, the more relaxed he became. He couldn't help but pat his son's shoulder and say, "Young people are quick-witted. I almost got dragged into a ditch just now."

A weight lifted from Yue Guangzhi's heart, and he smiled with relief: "I knew it! How could Mom really hurt us? She was just angry for a moment. She'll come home once she calms down."

“No!” Yue Jiangting waved his hand. “This matter is not simple. Given your mother’s relationship with Xie Mingqi, it’s impossible for her to know someone who can drive a limited edition Cullinan. Perhaps there are such people among Lao Chen’s students, but they wouldn’t be closely related to Lao Chen. Otherwise, he wouldn’t need me to invest in him.”

"Who exactly is it?" Yue Guangzhi asked, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Don't worry about it, we'll find out soon, and then we'll figure out a solution." Yue Jiangting sighed, his eyes showing annoyance. "When you get home tonight, you and Yingying can talk to your mother again. Now, we start arguing as soon as we talk, and she's like she's on fire."

"Okay, I'll let Yingying go over. My mom doesn't seem to like me much these days." Yue Guangzhi's eyes flickered guiltily, then, as if remembering something, he leaned closer, "Dad, do you think Mom might actually do it this time?"

A flash of anger crossed Yue Jiangting's eyes, and he flatly denied it: "Impossible! Don't you know what your mother is like? This family is her everything. Where else can she go if she leaves home? She's already so old, what's with this talk of defying fate? Heh, it's not that I look down on her, but she didn't even manage to defy fate when she was young, so what makes her think she can now? She'll be lucky if she doesn't starve herself to death!"

“But I see that Mom’s attitude is quite firm. I’ve never seen Mom angry for so long, persisting for so long, and she even stole our most private account book.” Yue Guangzhi squinted and observed his father’s expression. “I always feel that Mom is not as useless as she seems.”

“That was my oversight!” Yue Jiangting unconsciously raised his voice. “She just got lucky. Maybe she only saw the gold bars and took the ledger along the way, without even knowing its purpose.”

So when he first questioned Mei Yusheng, he deliberately ignored the ledger, wanting her to mistakenly believe that the ledger was unimportant.

But she actually used the ledger to blackmail him!

This means someone noticed and gave her some pointers.

From last night until now, Yue Jiangting has been thinking about who he would ask for help if Mei Yusheng wanted a divorce.

The first person he thought of was Mei Zichen, but he had met Mei Zichen today and tried to probe him indirectly, but Mei Zichen seemed to know nothing about it.

If Mei Yusheng didn't even tell her younger brother, does that mean she was just venting her emotions and scaring him, with the aim of gaining more leverage when negotiating with him later?

Of course, given his usual habits, he would still keep a close watch on Mei Yusheng to prevent anything from happening that was beyond his control.

The preliminary investigation results were beyond his expectations.

Xie Mingqi gave him the phone number of Jiayu Law Firm. He had investigated and found that the lawyer surnamed Qin drove a Bentley, not a Cullinan.

A jumble of thoughts and ideas made his head spin: "Xiao Zhi, tell me, how did your mom get the safe's combination?"

Yue Guangzhi was taken aback and quickly clarified, "I never told her that! My mom is really amazing; she's changed my perception of her a lot lately."

"Could it be that she didn't know the password, but used another method?" Yue Jiangting squinted in thought.

“Logically speaking, it couldn’t be a professional safe opener. Not only would it cost money, but it would also require various signatures. They wouldn’t just open it like a locksmith, where all you need is an ID card,” Yue Guangzhi said. “To open it quickly and discreetly, it has to be a password!”

"No, we need to go back and check the community's surveillance footage." Yue Jiangting couldn't sit still any longer, grabbed his phone, and hurriedly left the office.

Yue Guangzhi followed closely behind with a solemn expression.
