I have a hotel-style apartment in the suburbs that I use as a studio.

He placed his phone and briefcase on the coffee table in the living room, and I pointed to the camera in the room in front of him.

"Mr. Feng, let me show you last year's winning proposal for Delight Food, it's internal information, so please don't bring your phone in." I said.

He followed me into the office.

Once the door was closed, I asked, "Mr. Feng, are you being threatened or monitored?"

He took a deep breath, wiped his face with his hand, and said, "Pretty much, I ran into some trouble, but everything will be fine once I get divorced."

"Can't you call the police?"

"I can't call the police. I made a mistake when I was young..."

He started talking about thirteen years ago when he followed a big brother to work, but on the third day of joining, the big brother died in an accident.

The person in charge didn't want to call the police, so he took out 200,000 yuan to settle the matter.

Feng Qihang originally disagreed, but was eventually persuaded by a few coworkers to secretly take the compensation money.

Although later, his conscience got to him, and he returned the full 200,000 yuan with interest to the big brother's family, the matter didn't end there.

Two months ago, he ran into the big brother's wife, Zhang Fengxia, in Honghai.

Zhang Fengxia and the big brother originally had two daughters, but they both died young.

After the big brother died, Zhang Fengxia was kicked out by her in-laws.

A rural woman, having suffered a lot and ended up here, it was only right for Feng Qihang to offer financial and other support.

He said, "Fengxia is a good woman. I wronged her and made her not trust me now. Besides, without the compensation money from my big brother, I wouldn't have what I have today. I must take good care of her!"

Sacrificing his own family and children to take care of someone else?

And that woman even went so far as to monitor Feng Qihang?

I felt that things weren't as simple as he made them out to be, but I couldn't grasp the truth for the moment.

"But your wife and children, do they have to endure the pain of separation just because you want to repay a favor?"

His eyes flickered, and he gestured for me to lower my voice:

"Lawyer Gao, I liked Fengxia when I was young. When I saw her this time, I couldn't resist being with her... So I must marry her, or I'll go to jail, and the company, Wenyu, and the kids will all be done for!"

"Even if you need a divorce, you don't need to find someone to insult your wife!"

His facial muscles twitched, and after a while, he said softly, "She said that man was sent by us?"

I nodded, seeing that he didn't seem as crazy as Jin Wenyu had said, I secretly sighed in relief.

"Forget it, the divorce is inevitable. I don't want to wrong Fengxia anymore. As for Wenyu, she indeed hasn't been faithful to the family. Let her agree to the divorce as soon as possible. I bought a house in her hometown; she can have that and never come to Honghai again."

"With two kids here, how could she possibly leave alone?"

Feng Qihang pointed outside the door, smiling a bit eerily: "It's precisely because of the two kids that she will agree."

I looked at him, thinking of the amount of the compensation money, feeling like I was aiding and abetting a villain.
