Chapter 174 - 169: Mom on the Offensive
Madam Kong closed the front door, checked to make sure no one was around, and then continued speaking into the phone to her son, "Lizhi, since you’re going to hand over your inheritance to my dear grandson anyway, why don’t you transfer all your money to Liu Yan? That woman Ye Qiu doesn’t even know you have someone on the side. Later, you can just say the company is running at a loss and is bankrupt, can’t you?"
Although Madam Kong had lived in the countryside for a long time and wasn’t very worldly, she watched a lot of TV. Isn’t that how things are always done on the screen?
After hearing his mother’s words, Kong Lizhi was somewhat tempted. Although his daughter was his own flesh and blood, in the end, she wasn’t as good as having a son. Moreover, Ye Qiu had been quarreling with him these past few years and he had long grown tired of it. Liu Yan’s gentleness and thoughtfulness captured his heart more, and besides, his son was almost four years old. He couldn’t let him keep the name of an illegitimate child at school, right?
His mother was right. Ye Qiu had no idea he had another family outside. If he transferred the assets to Liu Yan in advance and cooked the books, she probably would have no suspicions. Perhaps he could even use the company’s loss as an excuse to borrow more money. By then, not only would Ye Qiu not get a share of the assets, but she might also have to help him repay the debts.
After all, his father-in-law had a little money. Who asked him to look down on him in the first place!
No sooner said than done, Kong Lizhi promptly contacted Liu Yan and set up a logistics company under her name. He gradually transferred all the underlying business and assets to it, and then, under the guise of company cash flow turnover, mortgaged their properties to a lending company for a loan of thirty million. He then concocted a loss-making scheme and transferred the thirty million to Liu Yan. After arranging everything, Kong Lizhi finally called Ye Qiu.
What he didn’t know was that all his actions over the past few days were completely within Ye Qiu’s grasp. His preparations were hasty and insufficient, and his activities were all under the surveillance of a detective agency, which had collected abundant evidence.
When Lawyer Zhao saw this evidence, he was very confident. He told Ye Qiu that he was ninety percent sure that Kong Lizhi would leave the marriage with nothing. If Kong Lizhi hadn’t fabricated loans, he might have received some assets, but due to his greed and wanting Ye Qiu to bear the debt, he was doomed to lose, given the premise of transferring all his assets.
