Chapter 289: I want to ruin him

Back at the dormitory, Shen Ci hadn't even had time to take off her coat before Gu Lianxing grabbed her and pressed her into a chair at the table.

Gu Lianxing excitedly pulled out the printed preliminary investigation results and tossed them in front of Shen Ci: "My dear, take a look. Is there the information you wanted?"

Shen Ci gave her a look of helpless amusement and had no choice but to start flipping through them.

She really didn't know much about Ji Yongxiu. Even though she had been miserably sabotaged by him in her previous life, all she remembered was his name, his appearance, and his voice.

Ji Yongxiu, thirty-two years old, native of Hecheng City, graduate of the Nanyang Empire Institute of Technology, Master's student at Longcheng University.

Married, wife is a Longcheng local, and the two have a five-year-old daughter.

He is currently employed at the Li Group, serving as the General Manager of the External Affairs Department. He has six shell companies under his name, one of which is the very company he is currently using to negotiate with Shen Ci.

Registering so many shell companies, one doesn't even need to think to know it must be for handling matters for Li Wanchang—perhaps tax evasion, perhaps capital flight, or perhaps, like now, concealing his identity to swindle the trust of a business partner!

"The stuff at the front is just basic personal information; there's explosive stuff at the back!"

Seeing that Shen Ci didn't have much of a reaction to the earlier content, Gu Lianxing hurriedly helped her flip to the back and then tapped the content on the paper: "Look here, he has three girls he's keeping on the side. Those are just the ones found so far; if we dig deeper, there might be others!"

"How about it? This information is very valuable, right?"

Shen Ci looked at the content seriously. The information on the three girls had also been dug up. While the individuals might differ, there was one piece of information that was consistent.

All three were university students!

"A-Ci, did this guy offend you? If you want to mess with him, you could leak this to his wife. His wife would definitely demand a divorce," Gu Lianxing suggested.

Shen Ci looked at Lianxing and asked: "Have you checked his wife's information? What is her background?"

Lianxing nodded hurriedly, picked up the documents, and flipped through them quickly: "Here!"

Ji Yongxiu's wife is named Li Xiantao, a dance teacher. Although she is a local of Longcheng, her family has no background.

Seeing this, Shen Ci shook her head slightly. If the woman had a tough background, Lianxing's previous idea would at least have been enough to make Ji Yongxiu shed a layer of skin.

But since his wife was just an ordinary person, that method was far too simple and naive for Ji Yongxiu.

"It won't work?" Gu Lianxing asked, puzzled.

Shen Ci explained in a low voice: "It's not that it won't work, it's that it's not enough! For a man in the prime of his life with a flourishing career, a divorce isn't necessarily a punishment. Even if it were a punishment for him, it's far from enough. I want to ruin him!"

Her gloomy, firm tone sent a chill down Gu Lianxing's spine: "A-Ci, how did this guy offend you?"

Shen Ci let out a soft breath of stagnant air from her chest to regain her composure: "He owes me from his past life!"

Gu Lianxing probably couldn't have guessed that this answer, which seemed abstract to her, was actually the truth.

She didn't probe further into the reason, just asked with some concern: "Then are these documents useless? I thought that finding out he had an affair would definitely be able to help you."

"How could they be useless!" Shen Ci smiled at Lianxing: "This information is very useful, but we need to dig deeper. Let's dig deeper into these girls he's keeping."

"Dig into these girls?"

Shen Ci nodded, pointing out the information on the girls to Lianxing: "Three girls, two are sophomores, one is a junior, at three different universities in Longcheng. I want to know when the keeping relationship between them started."

Gu Lianxing's eyes lit up. Her brain rarely kept up with Shen Ci's train of thought, and she couldn't help but exclaim: "If the keeping relationship happened before they were in university, then these girls might very well have been minors!"

Shen Ci's gaze darkened, and she nodded: "As long as one of them was a minor, that's enough to get him into serious trouble!"

"I'm not at all surprised that such a sanctimonious hypocrite would do something so disgusting, but there's no such thing as a secret that doesn't leak. If he dares to juggle so many girls at once, there must be a time when he didn't wipe his tracks clean."

"Lianxing, have your friends investigate this carefully and thoroughly. Money is no object!"

Gu Lianxing raised an eyebrow and promised: "Don't worry. These people are all old hands with years of experience. Investigating this kind of thing is basic work. I'll definitely have them check it out for you thoroughly!"

Hearing this, Shen Ci smiled with relief: "Thank you. Once it's done, I'll thank you properly."

"Why are you being so formal with me? I think this is super exciting. Scum like this deserves to be taught a lesson!"

Shen Ci nodded, then turned to instruct her: "Let's not tell Pili for now. She streams for at least six to eight hours every day; it's really too exhausting."

Lianxing nodded: "I understand. However, her stream data has been pretty good these past two days. I heard an 'MCN agency' wants to sign her. After signing, the company will provide her with a professional team to cultivate her into that kind of professional talent streamer."

"Did she sign?"

"She said she wants to consider it. If an agency helps her push traffic and operate, maybe her popularity will be even better."

Shen Ci nodded silently. She wasn't entirely unfamiliar with the streaming industry. In her previous life, after her younger brother retired from his professional team, he relied on game streaming to make a living. He had signed with an agency back then, but after signing, the agency didn't provide him with any substantial help, while half of his streaming income had to go to the agency.

Some agencies just rely on painting big pictures to sign new streamers, and then go on to suck the streamers' blood to make money.

Although she couldn't generalize the entire industry's agencies based on her brother's experience, Shen Ci couldn't help but feel concerned. She planned to discuss this matter with Pili properly later once she finished streaming.

As it turned out...

"Signed?"

At 9:30 PM, Pili returned to the dormitory and heard Shen Ci ask her about signing with the agency. The response she gave was that she had already signed.

Pili nodded: "Yeah, signed."

Shen Ci was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to respond, or perhaps it was already too late to say anything.

Lianxing asked curiously: "Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to consider it? How did you sign so quickly?"

Pili explained: "I did want to consider it carefully, but the other party said that their company currently has a 'Million New Streamer' traffic push event, and the date is about to expire. If I wait until after this timing to sign, I'll miss this opportunity."

"Is this event real?" Shen Ci asked with a furrowed brow, fearing this was a tactic used by the agency to force Pili to sign quickly.
