After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 308: Chapter 186 Playing Dumb

Chen Feng really couldn’t understand what Guo Mengyao was saying, but seeing her a bit angry, he wasn’t dumb enough to insist on asking for clarity.

It’s rare to play dumb, Chen Feng just smiled faintly at her.

Guo Mengyao was quite satisfied when she saw that Chen Feng stopped pretending to be innocent, which signified his absolute trust in her.

"Do you want to give a heads-up to Sister Li’s husband? He’s just being detained for investigation right now, so there’s still time to save him, right? Of course, if it becomes too difficult, we could just refuse to admit anything. Anyway, Xue Jun has already been caught, so he’s pretty much done for. Sister Li’s shares aren’t a big deal; at most, I’ll take a loss and buy them back according to the original buyback agreement as a little compensation for her."

Chen Feng was really confused after hearing Guo Mengyao’s words.

However, he also learned that both Xue Jun and Sister Li’s husband had been arrested. He wanted to ask for details, but seeing Guo Mengyao so convinced that these incidents were his doing, asking would only make her angry.

This is quite interesting.

On what basis did Guo Mengyao conclude that these two incidents were his doing?

Chen Feng immediately thought of his Lucky Attribute, which, from this perspective, made it seem like Xue Jun and Sister Li’s misfortunes might indeed have something to do with him.

"Do you know how long Xue Jun will likely be locked up this time?"

Chen Feng tentatively asked.

Guo Mengyao gave Chen Feng a charming sideways glance and smiled faintly, "Wouldn’t you know better than me? This time he intentionally hurt someone, and it resulted in serious injury, so he won’t escape several years in prison. The specific duration depends on the severity of the victim’s injuries—if it caused serious disability, it’ll be at least ten years."

Chen Feng was truly shocked upon hearing this.

With both Xue Jun and Sister Li’s husband in trouble, when these two incidents are put together, they seem incredibly bizarre.

It’s too coincidental! Just as both of them offended Guo Mengyao, conveniently he was thinking of helping her... and then, before he even took action, things were resolved so mysteriously.

It’s as if after his divorce, he became the favored child of fortune, with God taking care of everyone who opposed him or whom he wanted to deal with, automatically taking care of them.

Not to mention, this feeling is quite satisfying.

After recovering from the shock, Chen Feng jokingly said to Guo Mengyao, "If I said these things have nothing to do with me, would you believe it?"

Guo Mengyao gave him a sideways glance, "You’re really cautious; there’s only the two of us here, and you still refuse to admit it. Fine, I get it. Being cautious isn’t bad; I actually quite admire it. Hmm, I believe their troubles have nothing to do with you."

Chen Feng was speechless.

Guo Mengyao continued, "I think you can wrap things up now, make sure to leave no traces. Of course, even if I hadn’t said anything, you would’ve already taken care of it, right?"

At the end, Guo Mengyao looked at him with genuine concern on her face, as if fearing he might leave incriminating evidence and be caught.

Chen Feng was again speechless, but seeing her worried expression, he still said, "Don’t worry. I don’t know anything about the matters you’re talking about, nor have I been involved. Their troubles have nothing to do with me."

Guo Mengyao was momentarily stunned before showing a look of realization and a bright smile, "Right! You have nothing to do with these matters. They just had a string of bad luck together, and it’s their own fault they got into trouble."

After she said this, she leaned closer and lowered her voice, saying, "Although Sister Li messed up this time and went against me, honestly, I wasn’t that angry. I’ve known her for seven or eight years, and she helped me a lot back then. Not long ago, she even called to apologize and plead for mercy, saying that if her husband gets out safe, she’d transfer her company shares to me at the original price. So, why don’t you consider helping to get her husband out."

Chen Feng curiously asked, "What’s the original price?"

Guo Mengyao gave the answer, "Six million two hundred fifty thousand."

"Wow! She was originally asking for sixty-three million; that’s a tenfold difference. Does she really agree?" Chen Feng asked, somewhat surprised.

Guo Mengyao smiled and said, "Of course she’d agree. You have no idea how much she loves her husband; besides, she’s actually very wealthy. She’s a local native who received seven to eight houses worth at least seventy to eighty million from a relocation project a few years ago. Additionally, she’s not just a shareholder in my company; she holds shares in several other companies and receives millions in dividends every year."

Chen Feng sighed, "Truly a wealthy woman."

Guo Mengyao continued, "Thus, after realizing our power this time, she got genuinely scared and won’t dare challenge us anymore. Especially since you have a hold over her husband. That’s her Achilles’ heel. She’s not going to act recklessly. I must say, I really admire you for this. If you had directly targeted Sister Li herself, she might not have given in. But by going after her husband, she backed down immediately."

"It seems like she really cares about her husband," Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Of course. Her husband is five or six years younger than her, a brilliant graduate from Guang City University, tall, handsome, knowledgeable, and highly capable. He’s already a section chief in his thirties. Back when he was studying, Sister Li was the one who financially supported him and took care of him. Otherwise, such an exceptional man wouldn’t have married a woman like her."

Sister Li looked quite ordinary, with a flat face, a bulbous nose, and a height of at most 155 cm. Now, middle-aged with weight gain, her figure is even more out of shape.

"That’s Sister Li’s skill for you," Chen Feng remarked.

Thinking about her own failed marriage, and comparing with Sister Li, Guo Mengyao couldn’t help but sigh, "She certainly has skills and knows people well. Her husband is also grateful, marrying her after landing a job in the civil service. Over the years, they’ve had a good relationship, often traveling and shopping together.

A pair of children, a happy family. Definitely a winner in life. Of course, if her husband can’t overcome this hurdle, her picture-perfect family is bound to take a hit. Can you give me a word? Is there a chance her husband can get out?"

Seeing this, Chen Feng realized that denying further wouldn’t make Guo Mengyao believe him, plus, to be fair, it had something to do with him. Whether he was a jinx or just lucky, somehow these three people ended up unlucky due to his involvement.

"Are you really planning to buy back Sister Li’s shares at the original price?" Chen Feng asked.

After blinking, Guo Mengyao said, "Of course not. I’m not that unscrupulous. I wouldn’t take advantage of the situation that way. However, I also won’t be dumb enough to buy them back at the original sixty million-plus price. At most, I’ll use thirty million to buy back her shares.

Just in time, didn’t you say you wanted to invest thirty million? I can transfer her 25% shares to you. Of course, you can choose to deal directly with Sister Li. But I suggest you let me buy them back first and then transfer to you. What do you think?"
