Chapter 39

Back in the car, Qin Ze leaned on the seat and let out a long sigh of relief.

In just three days, under Jiang Wan's management, the company had instantly entered the right track.

He took out his phone, found Shen Jingshu's number, and dialed it.

After the call connected, Shen Jingshu's voice sounded very surprised.

"Qin Ze?"

Because Qin Ze had never called her before.

"Mm, is Liu Bin at home now?"

"No! He went to the company!"

Hearing that Liu Bin wasn't there, Qin Ze went straight to the point.

"How is the evidence collection for Liu Bin going?"

Shen Jingshu whispered:

"It's almost all collected."

"Evidence of Liu Bin's job-related crimes, embezzlement of company property, and tax evasion."

"And evidence of his extramarital affairs, I've all obtained them."

"With this evidence, it's enough to ruin his reputation."

Shen Jingshu said here, her tone a bit hesitant:

"But I'm a bit afraid, you know what kind of person Liu Bin is, ruthless, if he knows I'm the one who reported him, he'll definitely retaliate against me..."

"And if he knows you still have contact with me, that's even worse for you."

Shen Jingshu's voice trembled a bit.

As for how Liu Bin treated her, she didn't care anymore!

But she was afraid of what Liu Bin might do to Qin Ze!

Qin Ze understood Shen Jingshu's concerns, which were nothing more than fear of Liu Bin's retaliation against her and him.

"Sister Shen, you don't have to worry about that, he already found people to take action against me today, but I found a bodyguard early."

"So you can't drag it out anymore on your side."

"You move out tonight, I have a place to stay here, I'll settle you in."

"Then you give me all the evidence you've collected, I'll find you a lawyer, and the rest of the matters will be handled by me negotiating with him."

"You don't have to worry about it, you just need to connect with the lawyer."

Shen Jingshu was stunned:

"What? He already found people to mess with you!"

Qin Ze sneered and said "Mm."

"So, I must fight back, it's not safe for you there, you must move out immediately."

Shen Jingshu was silent for a few seconds before saying:

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Qin Ze hung up the phone and tapped his fingers on the steering wheel.

He originally planned to let Shen Jingshu move out tonight, but thinking about it carefully, it was too rushed.

"Boss, where to now?" Ning Wei in the passenger seat asked.

"To receive my villa."

Qin Ze turned the steering wheel, and the car drove out of the parking lot.

Ning Wei was stunned for a moment:

"Villa?"

"Over at Jianglin Road, just got it, haven't been to see it yet."

Ning Wei nodded and didn't ask more.

A bodyguard's professional quality is not to ask about things they shouldn't.

Forty minutes later, the car drove into the Jianglin Road area.

This was a high-end villa area in Jiangcheng, with a quiet environment, wide roads, and villas of different designs on both sides, and dense green belts.

Qin Ze followed the navigation and drove to the entrance of the villa area.

The electric gate was closed, and there was a guard booth next to it, with two security guards sitting inside.

A security guard walked out and knocked on the car window.

Qin Ze lowered the window.

"Hello, sir, who are you looking for?" the security guard asked politely.

"I'm the new owner, surname Qin, just bought number 18, please contact your manager!"

The security guard was stunned for a moment and picked up the walkie-talkie:

"Manager Wang, there's a Mr. Qin who says he's the owner of number 18, he's at the gate now."

Soon, a voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Tell him to wait a moment, I'll be right there."

A few minutes later, a man in his forties wearing a suit walked over quickly.

He was all smiles and said from outside the car window:

"Are you Mr. Qin? I'm the property manager, Wang Jie."

Qin Ze nodded:

"Hello, Manager Wang."

"Mr. Qin, please wait a moment, I'll open the gate."

Wang Jie swiped his card to open the electric gate, and Qin Ze drove in.

Wang Jie trotted alongside the car, and when Qin Ze parked, he hurriedly stepped forward to open the driver's side door.

"Mr. Qin, welcome, welcome!"

Qin Ze got out of the car, and Ning Wei also got out of the passenger seat.

Wang Jie glanced at Ning Wei, didn't ask more, and continued:

"Mr. Qin, I received the previous owner's entrustment yesterday, saying that his house had been sold, I didn't expect you to come today."

"Just happened to have time, came to take a look," Qin Ze said.

"Only right, only right!" Wang Jie nodded repeatedly, "Then shall I take you to see the house?"

"Okay."

The three walked toward villa number 18.

On the way, Qin Ze observed the surrounding environment.

The villa area was large, with enough distance between each villa, and the privacy was very good.

The landscaping was very well done, the lawn was neatly trimmed, and the trees were lush.

You could hardly see anyone on the road, it was very quiet.

This was Qin Ze's first time in a villa area in his life.

"Mr. Qin, the security level of this villa area is the highest in Jiangcheng."

"Entry and exit require checking identity or facial recognition. Outside vehicles are not allowed in."

"24-hour security patrol, full surveillance coverage. Living here, safety is absolutely guaranteed."

Wang Jie introduced while walking.

A few minutes later, the three stopped in front of a white villa.

Three stories, European style, the exterior wall was made of off-white stone, looking elegant and atmospheric.

The villa had front and back yards, the front yard was a lawn and flower bed, and the back yard had a blue swimming pool.

"It's here." Wang Jie took out the key, "Mr. Qin, please."

He opened the main door and made a gesture of invitation.

Qin Ze walked in.

The first impression was that it was big.

The living room ceiling was at least six meters high, a huge crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was the beautiful scenery of the backyard.

The decoration was simple and modern, with black, white, and gray as the main color tones, paired with solid wood furniture, looking both stylish and warm.

"Mr. Qin, all the furniture in this house is new," Wang Jie introduced from behind.

"The previous owner immigrated abroad, and before leaving, they renovated it again, all the furniture and appliances are new, and have never been used once."

Qin Ze nodded and walked around to look.

The first floor had a living room, dining room, open kitchen, as well as a guest room and bathroom.

The staircase was spiral, covered with thick carpet.

Qin Ze walked to the second floor.

The second floor had three bedrooms, all with independent bathrooms. The master bedroom was very large, with a walk-in closet and balcony.

The third floor was a study, gym, and media room.

Qin Ze walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the swimming pool in the backyard.

The pool wasn't big, but it was exquisite, with lounge chairs and a parasol placed next to it.

"Manager Wang, what's the market situation for villas nearby now?" Qin Ze suddenly asked.

Wang Jie was stunned for a moment, then reacted:

"Is Mr. Qin thinking of buying another one?"

"Just asking."

Wang Jie rubbed his hands:

"To be honest, housing prices have indeed fallen."

"Our villa area, the location is good, but it's a bit far from the city center, and transportation isn't very convenient."

"Except for the super-rich, houses aren't selling now. Many owners want to sell, but they've been listed for half a year and can't sell."

Qin Ze nodded:

"What about the price?"

"Depends on the size."

"Like this one of yours, over four hundred square meters, the current market price is about fifteen thousand to twenty thousand per square meter."

He paused and added:

"Of course, smaller detached houses are cheaper, about three hundred square meters, can be taken for ten thousand per square meter."

"Bigger ones, five or six hundred square meters, that would be fifty or sixty thousand per square meter."

Qin Ze had a rough idea.

This villa of his, calculated at twenty thousand per square meter, is worth over eight million.

This system's cashback is really generous.

"If Mr. Qin wants to invest in real estate, now is a good time," Wang Jie continued, "Housing prices have fallen to the bottom, they can't fall much further."

"Wait for the economy to warm up in two years, housing prices will definitely rise."

Qin Ze smiled:

"We'll see."

Whether housing prices have hit the bottom, even experts can't say clearly, can you say clearly?

Qin Ze walked to the sofa and sat down, saying to Wang Jie:

"Manager Wang, did you bring the keys and the property deed?"

"Brought them, brought them!" Wang Jie hurriedly took a document bag out of his briefcase.

"This is the property deed, this is the key, this is the access card, this is the property manual..."

He took out the items one by one and placed them on the coffee table.

Qin Ze picked up the property deed and opened it to look.

Property owner: Qin Ze.

Area: 428.6 square meters.

Address: 18 Jianglin Road.

No problem.

He picked up the key again and weighed it:

"Alright, have all the procedures been handled?"

"Handled!" Wang Jie said, "The previous owner entrusted us to handle it entirely, it has already been transferred to your name."

"Mr. Qin, from now on you are the owner of number 18. If you have any needs, contact me at any time."

Qin Ze nodded:

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Only right, only right!" Wang Jie stood up, "Then Mr. Qin, I won't disturb you. Take your time looking around, call me if you need anything."

"Okay."

After Wang Jie left, the villa became quiet.

Ning Wei stood in the center of the living room, appearing a bit reserved.

"Sit." Qin Ze pointed to the sofa.

Ning Wei hesitated and sat on the single sofa next to it, but only sat on half of it.

Qin Ze glanced at her:

"Relax, you might have to come here often in the future."

"Boss, are you planning to live here in the future?" Ning Wei asked.

"Not for now," Qin Ze shook his head, "Let a friend live here first."

He paused:

"I have to handle company matters recently, living in a hotel is more convenient, this place is too far from the city center, running back and forth is a waste of time."

Ning Wei nodded and didn't ask more.

Qin Ze leaned on the sofa, closing his eyes to rest.

But his mind was thinking fast.

The villa was ready, Shen Jingshu's place to stay was solved.

Next, was Liu Bin's matter.

He opened his eyes, took out his phone, and opened the browser.

Search: Best law firm in Jiangcheng.

A bunch of results popped up.

He flipped through a few pages, his gaze stopping on one name.

Shengding Law Firm.

Very famous in Jiangcheng, specializing in economic cases and criminal cases.

Qin Ze clicked in and looked at the profile.

Then he found the contact number and dialed it.
