Chapter 173 - 168: Mom on the Offensive
After arriving in C city, Ye Qiu did not go home but found a private detective agency through a classmate.
"Madam, this is the fee schedule of our detective agency, If you only need evidence of your husband’s infidelity, thirty thousand will be sufficient, but if you also need evidence of your husband’s asset transfer, you need to add at least another fifty thousand."
Ye Qiu nodded in understanding and directly transferred fifty thousand to the person-in-charge, saying to him: "The price is fine, but if you can get the evidence within a month, I can add another twenty thousand."
The person-in-charge’s eyes lit up, as this was a big order. He assured Ye Qiu: "No problem, please wait for our good news."
After leaving the detective agency, Ye Qiu went to the largest law firm in C city, intending to file for divorce against Kong Lizhi. Once Kong Lizhi received the divorce papers, he would definitely transfer his assets, which was exactly why Ye Qiu sought out detectives.
The laws of Hua Country do not impose substantial constraints on infidelity; even if the couple divorces, it does not greatly affect the division of assets.
However, Hua Country is very strict about asset transfer. Once Ye Qiu gets evidence of Kong Lizhi transferring assets, in the divorce lawsuit, he could at most retain only a small portion of the marital property. Furthermore, given that he kept a mistress and had an illegitimate child, a good lawyer could even strip him of everything he owns.
Ye Qiu agreed to pay the law firm one-tenth of her final share of the assets. After marrying Ye Qiu, Kong Lizhi started a warehousing and logistics company, which has now grown tremendously, with an estimated market value of around twenty million. In C city, they also have an apartment worth about five million and a school-district house worth eight million, not to mention the company’s profits over the years. If Kong Lizhi is forced to leave with nothing, then the law firm would earn a fee of at least three to four million.
Even in the tier-one city of C city, the remuneration Ye Qiu offered was not low. The law firm immediately dispatched their most experienced Lawyer Zhao, who expressed great confidence in the case after learning that the initial capital for the company was provided by Ye Fu and that Ye Qiu had also hired a detective agency.
