After some hesitation, he revealed, "It is a type of rare metal . "
"Metal?" Xinghe said with mild surprise .
She studied the black casket in her hands and realized it did look metallic; it definitely wasn't a common metal .
This was because the thing was incredibly light, so much so that Xinghe thought the thing was hollow, an observation that was proven wrong after analysis .
She didn't ponder the possibility of it being a rare metal .
"What kind of metal?" Xinghe followed up .
"You wouldn't know even if I tell you, and as to why I want it, that doesn't concern you either . That's all I can say, I don't know any more than that . "
"How did you know I had this in my possession?" Xinghe pressed .
AdvertisementYe Shen smirked . "That is none of your business either . The only thing you need to know is it is useless to you but incredibly useful to me . "
"Didn't you just say it is of little value to you?" Xinghe chuckled . "Ye Shen, if you don't give me more than that, then perhaps our deal will be over . "
Ye Shen thought about it and started to laugh like he didn't care for her threat at all .
"Xia Meng, even if you don't give it to me, I will find other ways to get it eventually . But don't think you can trap me with your words and get me to reveal more . That is impossible! So you can save the trouble of trying to do so . "
Then, he stood up to straighten his suit . "Looks like you want to stay married to me, I can see why, I am a great catch after all . But I'm telling you, after I walk out this door, I will go to the precinct and make a police report and media statement to reveal to the world how you have cheated on me with Xi Mubai . Let's see whether the Xi family will still cover your back after that . "
After a series of cackles, the emboldened Ye Shen turned to leave .
"Ye Shen, aren't you afraid the Xi family will come after you?" Xinghe said slowly .
Ye Shen turned to laugh at her . "In fact, I'm afraid they wouldn't because I still need something I can use against the two of you! Xia Meng, I have nothing now, do you know what that means?"
Xinghe stared at him mildly, without saying a word .
Ye Shen revealed in a dramatic drawl, "It means I have nothing to lose but everything to gain . "
"…"
"If the two of you want to come for me, then I welcome it, let's see who has more to lose!"
"You truly are one hell of a scoundrel," Xinghe observed softly .
Living up to his scoundrel name, Ye Shen replied, "I'm glad you finally realized that . So you want to me give the thing or not?"
"Naturally I will, because I cannot stand you anymore!"
Ye Shen thought this meant Xinghe couldn't stand being his wife anymore, while Xinghe truly meant she couldn't stand breathing the same air as him anymore .
Ye Shen smiled triumphantly . "See, how hard was that? You should have done that earlier and saved the both of us some time and trouble . "
"Give me your account number, I'll do the transfer now," Xinghe ordered directly . She was tired of this conversation already .
Ye Shen's heart jumped excitedly and revealed his bank information to her .
Xinghe picked up the laptop on the table, pressed a few buttons and said, "Done . "
Ye Shen pulled out his phone to check his account and it was true, his bank showed a recent pay-in of three hundred million RMB!
Ye Shen was ecstatic . He couldn't help but starting to laugh . "Xia Meng, I knew there was a benefit to marrying you so many years ago!"
Xinghe suddenly tossed him the black casket . "Sign the papers--"
"Don't worry, I will sign them now!" Ye Shen happily signed his name on the divorce papers with both the money and the casket in his hands .
This was perhaps the single greatest trade he had ever made in his life .
Little did he know, he was signing his death warrant…
