At thirty, I started my comeback from the intelligence system.

She admired Chen Geng's suddenly pale and shocked face, and slowly added:

"Look, it looks like someone's coming. You can shout! If someone sees me disheveled and crying... that will only confirm your crime! No matter how cunning you are, you'll still have to drink my foot-washing water today!"

Chen Geng stared at her in disbelief, his voice trembling: "You...you planned this all along? The apology was a pretense, the blackmail was real?"

"So what if I am?" Su Qingqing said confidently, her smile venomous. "Chen Geng, I gave you a chance. Cooperate obediently, sell the house, give me one million, and we'll be even. Otherwise... you can expect to be ruined and go to jail! I've checked Xiao Lanshu's records; you have no chance of overturning this case! Now, give me a straight answer!"

Chen Geng's face drained of color, his body trembled slightly, and his voice was hoarse with a hint of despair. He even reached out to grab Su Qingqing's arm, but she dodged away in disgust.

"Qingqing, are you... are you really going to be this cruel? For the sake of our three years of marriage, and the saying 'a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness,' please reconsider... I really can't come up with that much money all at once... Selling the house would be the death of me!"

"Husband and wife? Gratitude?" Su Qingqing laughed shrilly as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world. Her laughter echoed in the underground parking garage, sounding particularly jarring.

"Chen Geng, from the moment you signed the divorce papers yesterday and took my 200,000 yuan, all that's left between us is debt! Marital affection? What's that worth?"

"I wasted three of my most precious years on you, and all I got in return was a good-for-nothing like you and a mountain of debt! Asking you for a million in compensation for my lost youth is already giving you face because you were somewhat obedient in the past! Don't push your luck!"

Just then, "knock knock knock," the car window was knocked on.

Wei Songqi stood awkwardly outside the car, holding the folder. Seeing Chen Geng's deathly pale face and Su Qingqing's contorted expression inside, he was visibly startled: "Geng...Brother Geng? The documents you wanted...sign...sign them..."

Su Qingqing was also startled, not expecting the people from that side to actually come. But then, she steeled her resolve, a ruthless glint in her eyes—the plan was disrupted, but perhaps that was for the best! Having a third person witnessing the "conflict" would actually make it more credible!

Before Chen Geng could react, she shoved the car door open, nearly hitting Wei Songqi, then pointed at Chen Geng inside the car, her voice suddenly rising, trembling with tears and anger: "Help! Indecent assault! Chen Geng, what are you doing! Let go! If you don't let go, I'll call for help!"

As she shouted, she forcefully tugged at the neckline of her dress, disheveling her hair, instantly transforming from an aggressive blackmailer into a panicked victim of her ex-husband's attempted assault.

Wei Songqi was completely stunned. He recognized Su Qingqing, whose clothes were slightly disheveled and who was crying, and then looked at Chen Geng in the car, whose face was pale and who seemed to still be in shock. He was at a loss for words: "This... Sister-in-law, Brother Geng, what... what happened?"

Su Qingqing rushed to Wei Songqi's side, grabbing his arm, tears streaming down her face. "Xiao Wei, you've come just in time! Quick, call security! Call the police! Chen Geng... he's not reconciled after his divorce, so he tricked me into going to the garage and tried to force himself on me! When I refused, he threatened me! It's terrifying!"

Wei Songqi instinctively felt something was wrong. He knew Chen Geng's character well, and from a distance just now, it seemed that Su Qingqing was excitedly saying something, while Chen Geng seemed to be the passive one.

However, he was not good with words and did not know how to explain himself.

Just then, Chen Geng, who was inside the car, slowly pushed open the door and got out.

His face had lost its previous pallor and panic, replaced by a cold, deep-seated calm. He looked at Su Qingqing with no emotion in his eyes, as if he were looking at a clown.

"Su Qingqing," Chen Geng said, his voice not loud, but clearly drowning out Su Qingqing's sobs, "I gave you a chance."

Su Qingqing's crying stopped abruptly, startled by his sudden change in attitude and tone, but she quickly became even more furious: "You... what do you mean? What chance? Xiao Wei, look, he's threatening me!"

"Call the police, Xiao Wei." Chen Geng stopped looking at her and turned to Wei Songqi, who was already dumbfounded. His tone returned to its usual calmness. "Just say that someone is extorting money and trying to frame you, and the evidence is conclusive."

"Huh? Oh! Okay, okay!" Wei Songqi seemed to wake up from a dream. Although he hadn't fully grasped the situation, Chen Geng's instructions and his trust in Chen Geng prevailed, and he quickly took out his phone.

"Call the police?" Su Qingqing was a little confused. "Chen Geng! Are you out of your mind? You think you'll be fine just because you turn yourself in? What you should be doing right now is begging me to have mercy and let you off the hook, isn't that right?"

Chen Geng stood in front of Wei Songqi, coldly looking at her: "Too late. Weren't you determined to send me to jail? Fine, I'll see who actually sits in that jail!"

Soon after, the sound of police sirens grew louder as they approached, and security guards rushed over.

The scene was chaotic, with Su Qingqing's crying and cursing mixed together.

The police arrived quickly and prepared to take the three people back to the station for further questioning. Just as they reached the entrance of the company building, they ran into a group of people coming out of the elevator.

Leading the group was a middle-aged woman in a dark blue suit, exuding elegance and competence, yet her brows betrayed weariness and melancholy—Liang Dan, the vice president of the real estate company. Behind her followed an assistant whose expression was equally grim.

Liang Dan was in the middle of a meeting with a client when she received a notice of suspension from the group's board of directors. Feeling deeply humiliated, she left in a hurry.

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw the police leading Su Qingqing, whose hair was disheveled and whose makeup was ruined from crying, as well as Chen Geng, who followed closely behind with a calm expression, and Wei Songqi, who looked somewhat nervous.

Her brows furrowed immediately. Su Qingqing was someone she had brought today, albeit just as a pretext, but how could she have caused trouble so quickly, even involving the police?

"What's going on?" Liang Dan stopped and glanced at the police officer in charge and Chen Geng before finally fixing her gaze on Su Qingqing, her tone carrying her usual authority.

Like someone grasping at a straw, Su Qingqing cried, "President Liang, this is my ex-husband... We're divorced, but he's still harassing me. Today he arranged to meet me in the garage, and when he couldn't extort me... he even tried to rape me... You have to help me!"

Chen Geng stepped forward and bowed slightly to Liang Dan. His voice was soft but clear: "President Liang, I'm sorry to have bothered you with a small personal dispute."

"I am Chen Geng from the planning department of GG Company. Su Qingqing is my ex-wife. We had a dispute over property during our divorce, and she became emotional and made a false police report. We will go back with the police officers and explain the situation."
