Chapter 17: SS-Rank Shen Jingshu

After replying to Jiang Manman's message, Qin Ze finally remembered the real business.

He found the phone number for Shen Jingshu that Manager Chen had sent and copied it into the WeChat search bar.

Sure enough, a WeChat account popped up.

The profile picture was a very gentle, atmospheric image.

Qin Ze clicked to add her as a friend.

Less than a minute after the request was sent, the other party accepted.

Shen Jingshu:

"Who are you?"

Qin Ze didn't reply; he directly sent over the photos Manager Chen had provided.

In the photos, Liu Bin's arm was around Zhou Ying's waist; the two were standing very close, and there was a smile on Zhou Ying's face.

One photo was at the hotel entrance, the other in the parking lot.

This time, the other party remained silent for a full ten minutes.

Above the chat box, it kept flickering, showing that the other party was typing.

Qin Ze knew she was definitely weighing her options.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, she replied.

There wasn't a single word of excess.

Just an address and one sentence.

"City center, Blue Tone Cafe. See you in two hours."

Qin Ze checked the time; it was 8:30 PM, so two hours later would be 10:30 PM.

It was still early.

Qin Ze got up, took a shower in the bathroom, and changed his clothes.

At 10:10 PM, he went downstairs and drove toward the Blue Mountain Cafe.

The cafe was on a quiet street in the city center; the storefront wasn't large, but the decor was quite stylish.

Qin Ze pushed the door open and entered; a waiter greeted him:

"Good evening, sir. How many?"

"I have an appointment, surname Shen."

"Ms. Shen is in a private room on the second floor. Please, follow me."

The waiter led Qin Ze to the second floor and arrived at the door of a private room.

"It's right here."

Pushing the door open, a woman was sitting inside.

The moment Qin Ze saw her, he froze.

The woman was in her early thirties, wearing a beige knit suit; her figure was plump and full, with exquisite curves.

Her long hair was pinned back, revealing a fair neck and a delicate profile.

She was looking down at her phone, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes filled with anger and exhaustion.

But what shocked Qin Ze was the information box above her head.

【Shen Jingshu, Rating: SS】

【Occupation: Housewife, Emotion: Suppressed, Desperate】

【Wish: Wants to escape this broken marriage, wants to restart her life, wants to gain the ability to be financially independent】

【Dilemma: Gave up her career after marriage, has no source of income, afraid to divorce easily, filled with confusion about the future】

SS-rank!

Double S!

Qin Ze's heart gave a fierce thump.

This was the first SS-rank woman he had ever encountered.

But soon, he calmed down.

So what if she was SS-rank?

The woman was already married.

In an instant, all of Qin Ze's restlessness vanished.

Shen Jingshu looked up and saw Qin Ze; a flash of surprise crossed her eyes.

She clearly hadn't expected the person who sent her the photos to be so young, and such a handsome young man at that.

"Please, sit."

Shen Jingshu spoke; her voice was a bit hoarse, but pleasant to hear.

Qin Ze sat down opposite her.

"Ms. Shen, nice to meet you!"

Shen Jingshu nodded, then went straight to the point.

"Where did you get the photos you sent me?"

Qin Ze took out his phone, pulled up the photos, placed them on the table, and pushed them toward her.

"I took them today at the Fusheng Hotel."

"The woman in the photos is my ex-girlfriend."

Shen Jingshu lowered her head; in an instant, she understood what was going on.

After about a minute, Shen Jingshu finally looked up; her eyes were already red.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault for not keeping my husband in check, letting him provoke your girlfriend."

Qin Ze shook his head.

"You don't need to apologize; this has nothing to do with you."

"Besides, we've already broken up; who she chooses to be with is her freedom."

"I came to find you today not to hold anyone accountable, but to give you a friendly reminder so you know exactly what kind of person Liu Bin is!"

Shen Jingshu gave a bitter smile upon hearing this.

"Actually, I've always suspected he had someone else on the outside."

"He often comes home very late, smells of perfume, and never lets me look at his phone."

"But I never investigated it deeply."

Shen Jingshu looked up, her eyes filled with exhaustion:

"Because I have no job, no income, and rely entirely on him for support. Even knowing he's cheating, I don't have the courage to make a scene."

Qin Ze pulled two tissues from the table and handed them to her.

Shen Jingshu took them and wiped away her tears:

"I've made a fool of myself in front of you."

"Not at all," Qin Ze said. "I understand."

Shen Jingshu took a deep breath, her gaze gradually becoming firm:

"But this time is different."

She pointed at the photos:

"Divorce." Shen Jingshu said firmly. "This time, I must get a divorce."

Qin Ze nodded:

"It's time to leave. But you can't let a man like that get off easy."

Shen Jingshu was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"Divorce isn't that easy."

Qin Ze reminded her.

"Your husband Liu Bin managed to become a Deputy Supervisor at his company; he's definitely not the type to let go easily, and property division is also an issue."

"If you want a divorce, I suggest you don't alert the enemy yet; start by quietly collecting evidence."

"Evidence?"

Qin Ze nodded.

"Yes."

"Evidence of his cheating, evidence of him transferring assets—in short, collect everything that can ruin his reputation and ensure he doesn't gain any advantage in the divorce lawsuit."

Qin Ze had come over today originally just to test the waters with Liu Bin's wife!

He hadn't expected this Shen Jingshu to have already made up her mind to divorce!

Then everything would be easy to handle.

Shen Jingshu's eyes brightened:

"You mean..."

"Make him leave with nothing, otherwise, you're the one who will suffer," Qin Ze said bluntly.

Shen Jingshu was stunned.

But she quickly understood Qin Ze's meaning.

"Oh, that really is the truth. If you hadn't reminded me, I might have just foolishly asked for a divorce directly."

"Liu Bin is probably dying for me to divorce him without taking a single cent!"

Qin Ze looked calm.

"If you really can't swallow this, collect more of his dirty laundry! It would be best to ruin Liu Bin's reputation, or even get him fired!"

Shen Jingshu nodded, remained silent for a while, and then suddenly asked:

"Mr. Qin, do you have time right now?"

Qin Ze raised an eyebrow:

"What's wrong?"

Shen Jingshu bit her lip, seemingly hesitant, but she said it anyway:

"Liu Bin definitely won't be coming home tonight."

"Actually, I knew before that Liu Bin would sometimes take women home while I was out."

"So a few days ago, I bought some pinhole cameras, always wanting to install them at home, but I never found the right opportunity."

"I didn't dare ask outsiders for help, fearing the news would leak."

She looked up at Qin Ze:

"So I want to ask for your help. Since Liu Bin isn't home tonight, we can go and install the cameras."

Qin Ze looked at the haggard Shen Jingshu in front of him and nodded in agreement.

"Fine, I'll help you."

Walking out of the cafe, Qin Ze took Shen Jingshu to his car.

After getting in, Shen Jingshu sat in the passenger seat and gave him the address.

But once in the car, Shen Jingshu's brows were tightly locked.

When she got in, she saw that Qin Ze was driving a luxury car!

She couldn't help but wonder how Qin Ze, being so young, could drive such a nice car!

However, she only kept the doubt in her heart and didn't ask.

Qin Ze started the car and drove according to the navigation.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the residential community.

Shen Jingshu swiped her access card, and Qin Ze drove in.

The community environment was very nice, with good landscaping, all high-rise residential buildings.

Qin Ze parked the car and followed Shen Jingshu upstairs.

Liu Bin's home was on the eighteenth floor, a standard large flat.

The elevator went straight to the eighteenth floor, and Shen Jingshu unlocked the door with her fingerprint.

The door opened, and Qin Ze walked in.

The house was indeed very large; the living room was spacious and bright, with a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the night view of Jiangcheng.

The decor was European-style, and the furniture was all name-brand, looking like it cost a lot of money.

"Make yourself at home," Shen Jingshu said to Qin Ze. "I'll go pour you some tea."

"By the way, this black box on the coffee table is the probe surveillance."

Shen Jingshu soon returned with a cup of tea:

"Qin Ze, you have some tea first; I'll go change my clothes. It's too hot today, and I'm all sweaty."

As she said this, her face turned a bit red.

Qin Ze nodded:

"Alright."

Shen Jingshu went into the bedroom.

Qin Ze picked up the teacup and took a sip, his gaze falling on the box containing the surveillance equipment on the coffee table.

He opened the box, which contained several micro-cameras, along with the matching power supply and memory cards.

The craftsmanship was exquisite; one look and you knew it wasn't cheap.

Qin Ze picked up a camera to examine it, and he roughly had an idea of where to install them. ===== CHAPTER 18 =====
