Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 573 Keeping a Canary in Captivity (52)

Gao Shenghan walked out of Yan's father's study, went straight upstairs, and leaned against the railing of the fifth-floor rooftop to light a cigarette.

The smoke drifted in the air, clearing his muddled mind somewhat.

He rarely had the chance to calm down and reflect on the path he had walked over the past ten years.

From the moment he met Yan Zhen, he pursued her, got married, had a child, and was then tricked by Yu Yanfei into stepping into the abyss of gambling, accumulating debts of over a billion yuan with interest.

Every minute he stands here, the loan sharks are charging exorbitant interest rates.

Unless he can raise billions to pay off all the debts at once, he will only be driven to his death by debt after the divorce, given his own abilities.

He turned a bad hand into a winning one with his own skills, but because of his deep-seated vanity, he ruined what should have been a wonderful life.

One step wrong, step by step wrong.

Gao Shenghan can't help but laugh whenever he thinks about how he schemed against his wife by sending an unknown actor to her bed, only for that actor to become the final straw that led to their divorce.

After finishing his cigarette, Gao Shenghan flicked the cigarette butt downstairs.

Looking down at the dozens of meters drop below, he felt an urge to jump and end it all.

As long as he jumps, the secret that has troubled him for years, like a tumor constantly pressing on his brain nerves, making him tremble with fear and live in constant anxiety whenever he thinks about it, will be taken to his coffin with him.

To hell with all that gambling debts, those videos, and that damned Yu Yanfei!

But he was unwilling to do so.

He's already climbed to this position, why should he hand over his marriage and family, which he's painstakingly built up over a decade, to someone else?

Just thinking about how I'd only get a few hundred million in assets after the divorce, how I'd have to live a life of financial hardship with my son, and how I might even be driven to despair by gambling debts...

Xiao Yun will soon replace him and become Yan Zhen's new husband and the new son-in-law of the Yan family.

All the luxury cars, mansions, and resources that Yan Zhen currently enjoys will belong to Xiao Yun. Furthermore, Yan Zhen, who is not yet forty, might even have another child with Xiao Yun…

He was insanely jealous whenever he thought about these things.

Do not!

No one can take his things away from him!

If someone tries to take it by force, he would rather destroy it all than let the other person have it.

Once this thought took root in his mind, Gao Shenghan found it hard to control himself.

Several thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

Drunk driving, car accidents, drugging, poisoning, arson...

If Gao Xinyu can kill his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and wife quietly, he will inherit half of the Yan family's property as the heir.

Or if he were to be even more ruthless and eliminate Yan Heng, who was away, wouldn't the Yan family's assets of hundreds of billions be entirely theirs?

With this thought in mind, Gao Shenghan trembled as he lit another cigarette.

After spending more than an hour on the rooftop and smoking more than ten cigarettes, Gao Shenghan had a general plan in mind.

It's often said that if one spouse gets into trouble, the other is the prime suspect.

If he wanted to kill the entire Yan family without arousing suspicion, he had no choice but to get involved himself and risk his life.

But he couldn't do this by himself; he needed to find a helper.

After finishing the last cigarette he had, Gao Shenghan threw the cigarette butt out with the sole of his shoe, then turned and went downstairs.

Back in his room, he opened the safe, took out all the dozens of gold bars inside, put them in a black bag, and then left with the bag.

Before leaving, Gao Shenghan called Yu Yanfei and arranged to meet at their usual club.

When Gao Shenghan arrived at the club and entered the private room, Yu Yanfei was drinking with two young and beautiful women.

Upon seeing Gao Shenghan enter, Yu Yanfei greeted him, "You're here, have a seat."

Gao Shenghan walked over and threw the bag at Yu Yanfei's feet.

With a clang, the heavy gold bar inside made a crisp sound.

Yu Yanfei was slightly taken aback. He released his arm from the woman, unzipped the black bag, and was almost blinded by the gold bars inside.

But soon, Yu Yanfei counted the quantity and said, "Based on the current gold price, these are worth at most 25 million, we're still 5 million short."

Gao Shenghan picked up a cigarette from the table, took one out and put it in his mouth. The young woman next to him immediately picked up a lighter and came over to light it for him.

After taking two deep drags on his cigarette, Gao Shenghan leaned back in his chair and said, "That's all for now."

Yu Yanfei's expression darkened slightly: "Brother Gao, what do you mean? We agreed on thirty million..."

“I didn’t get any money. These are the gold bars from the family that I temporarily used to make up the difference.” Gao Shenghan interrupted him. “Yan Zhen asked me for a divorce and said he wouldn’t give me any more money. This money may be the last thing I get from the Yan family.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Yanfei's expression turned serious: "What's going on? Why are you suddenly asking for a divorce?"

Before Gao Shenghan could answer, Yu Yanfei quickly asked, "Has the Yan family discovered your debt?"

Gao Shenghan didn't reply, but instead glanced at the two women.

Yu Yanfei immediately waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

Once only the two of them were left in the private room, Gao Shenghan spat and cursed, "Isn't it all because of your damn bad idea that I drugged her and sent a man to her bed, framing her for cheating? That way, even if she saw that video later, I wouldn't be in such a passive position... Now she's with that man and she's going to dump me."

Yu Yanfei was stunned: "This...it got better after a good night's sleep?"

If I had known it was so easy to seduce a rich heiress, I would have slept with her myself after drugging her.

Gao Shenghan saw through Yu Yanfei's thoughts and kicked him angrily: "What the hell are you thinking!"

Yu Yanfei finally stopped thinking. He knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare to say a word after being dumped: "How much money will you get in the divorce settlement?"

If Gao Shenghan is really kicked out of the Yan family, given his financial situation, he simply won't be able to repay that huge high-interest loan.

They can only hope to get more breakup money.

Otherwise, if Gao Shenghan were to go bankrupt, Yu Yanfei, as the guarantor for the usurious loan, would also be in trouble.

Gao Shenghan's face was very ugly. He finished the cigarette before saying, "I've calculated it, it's less than six hundred million."

The Yan family has assets worth hundreds of billions, but the financial power is in the hands of Yan's father.

Since the family did not separate, Yan Zhen, as the daughter, only had assets worth a little over a billion yuan under her name.

If it weren't for that bull terrier that suddenly appeared tonight, perhaps when I filed for divorce, I could have taken advantage of the Yan family elders' guilt towards me to ask for more fund shares and real estate, and even try to get a settlement of over a billion yuan.

But that damn bull terrier ruined everything.

"What can 600 million do?!" Yu Yanfei exclaimed. "It's not even a fraction of what's needed."

“I know, that’s why I don’t plan to get a divorce.” Gao Shenghan’s eyes flashed with a cold light. “The Yan family insists on kicking me out, so I have no choice but to send them away first.”
