Chapter 305: Chapter 184: So Shameless! _2Just as she stepped onto the staircase, Guo Mengyao heard Li Kewei’s words, her body paused, suppressing the urge to turn back and yell angrily, and continued upstairs without turning her head. Li Kewei crossed his arms, watching triumphantly as Guo Mengyao disappeared at the top of the stairs. This was a rare opportunity, Xue Jun had promised him a commission of a million yuan, with an advance payment of three hundred thousand and seventy thousand more afterwards. Getting paid for one’s work, that’s only natural. If he hadn’t been unsure about acquiring enough assets and money before, he wouldn’t have waited until now to confront Guo Mengyao. Of course, most importantly, after several attempts and pretenses, Li Kewei finally confirmed that there was no way to win Guo Mengyao back, and that she had completely lost faith in him. It was impossible to easily get money from her to squander anymore. Given that, it was better to divorce and get a hefty "break-up fee" to live freely, or find someone younger and prettier. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but recall the hostess he met yesterday at a newly opened nightclub, quite innocent. She said she was a university student, working for the first time due to family poverty and her father’s severe illness, urgently needing money. Last night he accompanied this hostess for drinks and conversation, acting as a thoughtful older brother, and made a good impression on her. He thought if he tried a little harder tonight, coupled with a financial offensive, he should be able to succeed. Immediately feeling a burning excitement, Li Kewei drove to this newly opened nightclub, and once again booked the hostess under the stage name Mei. Mei was very warm to him, sang a few songs, and after a couple of bottles of foreign liquor, she snuggled up to him like a little bird, both a bit drunk, and they cheerfully sang a classic duet "Boatman’s Love." After singing the song, Mei admiringly poured him another drink, handing it to him. Li Kewei drank it in one gulp, filled with bravado, hugged Mei, laughed heartily, and then blacked out... When he woke up, he was already in a police station detention cell, his body aching all over with many bruises, totally clueless about what had happened. When the police informed him that he had been caught for drug use, drunk driving, endangering public safety, and intentional assault the previous night, he was bewildered, as he truly remembered nothing at all. Trying hard to recall, he found something was off, quickly inquired about the status of the hostess Mei, and insisted he hadn’t used drugs. If there was any, he was framed, and the one framing him was the nightclub hostess Mei, because before blanking out last night, she was the only one with him. His last memory was her giving him a drink, after drinking it, he remembered nothing more. Following his testimony, the police investigated, and the result was Mei resigned last night and left. According to the nightclub’s surveillance records, Mei left the private room with him at ten thirty last night, leaving first; about half an hour later, Li Kewei staggered out drunkenly, then drove away, dangerously, crashing into several cars, causing one person severely injured, three lightly injured, and he himself surprisingly unharmed. After the crash, Li Kewei got off the car and had a dispute with several people involved in the crash, leading to a fight, several people against him alone. Li Kewei broke free, ran back to his car, got a hammer to retaliate, causing two people seriously injured, one of whom had his skull crushed by him, barely saved this morning. After learning about the incident, Li Kewei was completely dumbfounded, his face pale, trembling all over... Guo Mengyao received Li Kewei’s distress call at noon, he cried miserably over the phone, completely broken down. Guo Mengyao was first shocked, then somewhat fearful, but also a bit secretly delighted. The fear wasn’t because Li Kewei was in trouble now, but because she suspected it was all orchestrated by Chen Feng behind the scenes. The delight, of course, was that she could finally divorce this scumbag openly without paying too high a price. Guo Mengyao calmly asked for the details of the situation over the phone, knowing he was conned by a hostess, feeling this shouldn’t be Chen Feng’s doing, softly relieved, yet vaguely disappointed. Once understanding the situation, Guo Mengyao said she would hire a lawyer to help him mitigate his sentence. Given his current situation, acquittal was impossible; at best, she would strive for leniency, reducing the jail time by one or two years. Through the company’s legal advisor, he found a somewhat reputable criminal lawyer locally, personally went to the law firm for discussion, signed an authorization for defense, and consulted about divorce matters. With Li Kewei involved in this incident, legally and emotionally, divorce was not permitted. To divorce, one must wait until after the case verdict. This left Guo Mengyao somewhat relieved, yet helpless. If possible, she truly wanted to divorce Li Kewei immediately, returning to single life. Whether or not this was due to Chen Feng, she wasn’t really sure. After leaving the law firm, she received a call from Sister Li. "Mengyao, I was wrong, I apologize to you, I shouldn’t have schemed with Xue Jun against you. But don’t drag family into it, I beg you to spare my husband Li." Sister Li pleaded tearfully. Guo Mengyao listened, utterly confused and asked in surprise, "Sister Li, what are you talking about? What happened to your husband? Spare for what?" "Mengyao, I know it’s my fault this time. I’m willing to transfer the shares I hold to you at the original price when I joined, as long as you spare my husband Li." Sister Li’s voice carried tears and a plea, genuinely frightened. Although she’s the top earner in her family, her husband has always been the pillar of the household. At least that’s how she sees it, if her husband ends up in jail, she truly feels the sky is falling. Listening to this, Guo Mengyao was puzzled, almost suspecting if Sister Li was playing a prank, but soon realized Sister Li wouldn’t joke about her husband like this. "Sister Li, I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about. Can you elaborate?" Guo Mengyao asked, confused. Sister Li, hearing this, was somewhat angry, she spoke loudly, "Guo Mengyao, we’ve known each other for years. If it weren’t for my connections and networks back then, would your company have gotten off the ground? Could you have developed peacefully around here all these years? Yes! I know this time I was out of line, crossing boundaries, but it’s all Xue Jun’s fault, I’m truly innocent. Go after him if you must, but why involve me and my husband?"
