Chapter 162 Stalking~Stalking~

"Do you know about Kangrui Group?" Old Zhong asked.

Shen Qingzhou nodded. He knew the name all too well. The Nanshan Nursing Home where Grandma Song was staying was a property of the Kangrui Group.

Kangrui Group is an A-share listed company with a market value of tens of billions of yuan. Its main businesses include high-end villa health and wellness communities, private health clubs, and resort and cultural tourism projects.

When Shen Qingzhou was choosing a nursing home for his grandmother, he made a point of thoroughly researching this company. It was extremely powerful, especially in Huinan City, where it was undoubtedly a leading enterprise and a major taxpayer.

"Their boss is getting a divorce? I remember the boss of Kangrui Group is over fifty years old, right?"

"Boss Ma Weiguo is fifty-six this year, and boss's wife Xu Xiumei is fifty-four. They are not a couple who married later in life. Boss's wife accompanied her boss from scratch and went through thick and thin for more than 30 years. I never thought that things would end up like this." Old Zhong's tone was somewhat emotional.

He only sighed once before continuing, "The two are getting a divorce because of the division of property. Both sides are looking for faults in the other's case, trying to get a bigger share—"

The matter wasn't too complicated. Lao Zhong had taken on Ma Weiguo's job: to find solid evidence of Xu Xiumei's infidelity.

"So, did she cheat on her husband? She's fifty-four years old." Shen Qingzhou asked with some concern.

If Xu Xiumei really cheats on him, he will definitely get the remaining 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, and he might even be able to raise the price.

But if the other party doesn't have this at all, he'll probably only get the 250,000 yuan deposit, and then Lao Zhong will take away 20% of the regular cooperation commission, leaving him with only 200,000 yuan.

Twenty percent—that's the commission rate that Lao Zhong has always taken in his regular collaborations.

For example, the 30 million deal last time was an unconventional collaboration, and Lao Zhong could only get less than 10% of the profits.

This is why, of the 30 million, Lao Zhong only received a 3% commission, because he had to pay another 3% to the introducer, which was considered subcontracting.

Old Zhong initially took that job purely out of curiosity, never expecting it to end up causing him so much trouble.

It's just that Lao Zhong has a good personality. If it were an ordinary person, they probably would have complained in their heart even if they didn't say it.

After all, no one suffered any loss except him, who lost three million and ended up in a world where he was the only one who was injured.

Having decided to take the order, the two set off immediately after breakfast.

Old Zhong drove his car and parked it directly opposite an open-air café along the river.

Clearly, someone else was providing him with information.

"That's Xu Xiumei."

Old Zhong pointed to a woman outside the coffee shop.

Shen Qingzhou looked in the direction he pointed and saw a woman wearing thin-rimmed sunglasses and a black pencil skirt with a lapel sitting under a parasol, slowly stirring her coffee.

She is extremely well-preserved. Although she is over fifty years old, she looks like she is in her early forties. Her figure is in perfect shape, and apart from a few very faint lines on her face, there are almost no signs of aging. She has a refined temperament and sits there quietly, exuding composure and elegance.

"It's the one you like." Shen Qingzhou looked away and casually teased.

"Don't talk nonsense." Old Zhong glanced ahead and then said, "She's too old. No matter how well she takes care of herself, her skin will still sag with age."

Shen Qingzhou gave him a thumbs up, saying, "You've been eating at home for so long, you've really gotten the hang of it."

"Is she waiting for someone?"

Coming to the riverside for coffee so early in the morning, it's clear that it's not just for a drink; there must be something else going on.

"I don't know. I only have people watching her when she leaves the house. It's not to the point where we can monitor her every move around the clock." After saying that, Lao Zhong glanced sideways at Shen Qingzhou in the passenger seat.

He knew Shen Qingzhou had this ability; as long as he arranged for a few "people" to follow him 24 hours a day, what secret couldn't he uncover?

That's why he was a little puzzled that Shen Qingzhou had come to investigate this matter personally.

Shen Qingzhou ignored him and turned to Lin Yunong and Xiao Qiu in the back seat, instructing them, "Go and see who she wants to see and what she said."

"OK."

Lin Yunong responded and pulled Xiao Qiu out of the car.

"That's right."

A relaxed expression instantly appeared on Lao Zhong's face.

"What a load of rubbish," Shen Qingzhou said irritably. "What Ma Weiguo wants is substantial evidence of infidelity, not just what we say."

"Oh right." Old Zhong suddenly realized.

"Are you suffering from Alzheimer's, or is it because you've had too many women, causing you to lose too much protein and your brain matter to leak out with them?"

"Get the hell out of here—uh—"

Before Lao Zhong could finish his cursing, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Shen Qingzhou followed his gaze, and the two of them craned their necks to stare at the woman walking past the car.

She was a stunningly beautiful woman with a cool and aloof demeanor, wearing black stockings and a bodycon skirt, passing by their car with a file folder in her hand.

After they passed by, the two rolled down the car window and stared at the swaying hips of the person as they walked.

Only after they had walked a distance did the two of them turn their gaze away.

"To see such beautiful women by the river so early in the morning, I'm sure I'll have good luck all day," Old Zhong remarked.

If it weren't for the fact that "Little Fairy's" boxing skills are too powerful, he would have been whistling loudly.

"Don't you only like married women? That girl was clearly a virgin, look at her eyes and eyebrows—"

"Nonsense," Old Zhong immediately retorted. "I just find young girls too fussy. I like any beautiful girl."

After saying that, the two looked at each other and chuckled, clearly birds of a feather flock together.

Just then, the two saw the beautiful woman walk straight toward Xu Xiumei, who was drinking coffee.

Old Zhong's face immediately showed surprise: "Could it be that Xu Xiumei's affair is with a woman? Rich people really know how to have fun and eat well."

"Don't talk nonsense, that should be Xu Xiumei's lawyer."

"How did you know?" Old Zhong asked, looking unconvinced.

"When you passed by just now, were you only staring at her chest and didn't you notice that the file folder had the name Merrill Lynch Law Firm written on it?"

"Hehe, I see. I'm getting old, and my eyesight isn't very good anymore," Old Zhong chuckled.

Shen Qingzhou ignored him and turned her gaze back towards the coffee shop.

The female lawyer had already sat down opposite Xu Xiumei, and Lin Yunong also sat down next to her. Xiao Qiu craned her neck and stared longingly at the small pastries on the table, looking like she wanted to try them.

But these weren't the most important things. The most important thing was Xu Xiumei. Shen Qingzhou felt that she looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before, but in his memory, he didn't seem to have seen her before.

Seeing Shen Qingzhou staring straight ahead, Old Zhong immediately grinned slyly and teased, "You like that female lawyer so much? If you like her, go after her! If you can't, use some tricks. I know you have plenty of tricks up your sleeve." The old man's smile was particularly sly.

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm serious about every woman I've ever been with. I've never used any underhanded tactics," Shen Qingzhou said, withdrawing his gaze.

"How is that despicable? When a man pursues a woman, sending flowers, bags, and gifts, isn't that a tactic? Why is anything outside your usual methods considered despicable? I have to criticize you. Different paths lead to the same goal. As long as the method works and achieves the objective, who cares what method you use?"

Shen Qingzhou didn't want to listen to his nonsense at all.

If you actually listen to Lao Zhong's twisted logic, his world will instantly turn into a world of hentai.

Do you have detailed information about Xu Xiumei?

Upon hearing this, Old Zhong's eyes widened at first, then a smile slowly spread across his face: "So you've been watching her the whole time?"

"I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

Thinking of Jiang Xinyue from the firm, Lao Zhong instantly felt as if he had found a kindred spirit.
