Chapter 681 The Divorce Agreement Has Taken Effect
"I appreciate your care. I'll inform Muchen about your kindness after he returns so that he can thank you personally. By that time…" Before Ziyue could finish her sentence, Yuchuan hung up abruptly.
Ziyue put down her phone expressionlessly. She rubbed her temples to regain her composure before calling Chuan.
Chuan picked up the call immediately. "Hi, Mrs. Qin. How can I help you?" Ziyue could hear the background noise from Chuan's end.
"Grandpa called me just now and asked me to bring Zixi back to Country J. I don't intend to go back, but you should be more cautious if he's planning something. Do tell me if he has any suspicious behavior."
"Old Mr. Qin?" Chuan sounded strange.
"Mm-hmm. Is there anything wrong?" Ziyue asked.
Chuan remained quiet for a second before saying, "Alright. I have some matters to attend to, so I'll hang up first." With that, he quickly ended the call.
Ziyue was surprised but didn't bother with it.
Back in LK Tower's meeting room in Country J, Chuan switched off the shredder after hanging up the call. Then, he gave instructions to his subordinates and left in a hurry.
There was no meeting ongoing in the meeting room at that time. Instead, there were a few shredders with a huge pile of documents. Besides, a few of LK Group's senior executives, whom Muchen trusted the most, were also in the meeting room.
Chuan returned to Muchen's office and found a hidden compartment behind the desk. He took out a stack of files from the compartment – at the bottom-most was a divorce agreement with both parties' signatures, indicating that it was an effective document.
Chuan was shocked when he saw the signatures. Previously, when Muchen asked Chuan to transfer his assets secretly, he thought it was just a precautionary measure because they had been guarding against Yuchuan. So, he didn't think it was strange back then.
During that time, Muchen frequently met up with his lawyer and was absent from the office, but Chuan did not ask him about it. Little did he know Muchen was arranging for this matter…
Mr. Qin must have expected this day to come! Holding the divorce agreement, Chuan regained his composure and called Yichen.
This was such a crucial matter that Muchen didn't even inform Chuan. Chuan knew he would only entrust it to the lawyer he trusted the most.
Although he wasn't aware when Yichen came to Country J, he knew Yichen must have handled this matter.
The moment Yichen answered the call, Chuan asked directly, "Yichen, when did Boss ask you to prepare the divorce agreement?"
There were a few seconds of silence before Yichen hummed, "So, you discovered it." He paused briefly before continuing, "It was before the presidential reaction. Did Old Mr. Qin approach Mrs. Qin?"
Chuan reluctantly hummed in response and was sulky that Muchen had not told him about such an important matter.
"I see. Quickly settle the matters in Country J and come back as soon as possible. It's dangerous there." Yichen said aloofly.
Chuan didn't respond but hung up the call.
Yichen lit up a cigarette and summoned his assistant. "Let's head to LK Group's branch."
…
Ziyue came back from a meeting to see the suit-clad Yichen who wore a solemn and cautious look.
When Yichen saw Ziyue, he walked up to greet her. "Hi, Mrs. Qin."
"What brings you here? What's the matter?" Ziyue was puzzled by Yichen's sudden appearance, knowing he wouldn't approach her without an important agenda.
"It's regarding you and Mr. Qin."
"What is it?" Ziyue reckoned it must be a serious matter for Muchen's private lawyer to meet her. Moreover, Muchen was still missing. At that thought, she had a bad hunch.
She took a step back as her eyes flickered. "If there's anything, I'll wait for him to come back and tell me personally. I'm very busy now and have no time for this."
Then, she strode quickly toward her office as if she could ignore Yichen the faster she walked, and dismiss his intention, despite not knowing what his intention was.
Yichen and his assistant politely kept a small distance behind Ziyue and followed her into her office.
"I said I don't have time to talk to you today!" Ziyue flared up when she realized Yichen had followed her into her office.
It had been more than a month since Muchen had gone missing. Yet, his private lawyer came to see Ziyue at that moment. Ziyue couldn't help imagining the worst scenario, but she believed Muchen would return.
"Mrs. Qin, this is Mr. Qin's intention. Before the presidential election, he secretly asked me to handle some affairs in Country J."
Yichen was not affected by Ziyue's rage. He calmly took out the documents from the folder and placed them in front of Ziyue.
"Here are the divorce agreement and property settlement agreement, which have already taken effect. I came to you today to complete some handover procedures."
Ziyue knew all who worked for Muchen were elites – Yichen was an experienced and professional lawyer.
However, she couldn't understand a single word at that moment. Frowning in confusion, she asked, "What divorce agreement?"
"A divorce agreement between you and Mr. Qin with your personal signature." Yichen pushed the documents forward to Ziyue.
A divorce agreement was not strange to Ziyue – during the early stage of their marriage, Muchen intimidated her with a divorce agreement when she threw a tantrum and wanted a divorce.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I've never signed a divorce agreement, and it's impossible for me to sign one!" Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"This is indeed your personal signature." Yichen replied patiently as if he had expected Ziyue's response.
Ziyue grabbed the divorce agreement and threw it into Yichen's face. "Cut the crap!"
Yichen crouched down calmly to pick up the document. Then, he walked back to Ziyue in a professional manner. "Ms. Su, this divorce agreement has taken effect a month ago. From the legal perspective, you and Mr. Qin are no longer husband and wife. As for property settlement, Mr. Qin has all funds, properties, and shares given to you, and you've signed the documents…"
Ziyue was no longer listening as Yichen continued. She opened the documents and saw her signatures on them. However, she never knew when she signed them…
