Chapter 250: Special Mission: The Trial Of Justice And Its Generous Rewards!
Ex-husband wins 10 million?
This news was like a bombshell to Yuan Mengqi!
It instantly made her head buzz.
After being stunned for about ten seconds.
Yuan Mengqi finally came back to her senses and met Jiang Tao’s gaze again.
“Jiang Tao, this joke isn’t funny at all.”
Yuan Mengqi pretended to be very relaxed on the surface.
She felt that Jiang Tao must be joking with her.
As everyone knows.
Lottery tickets have a “three-prevention mechanism.”
Not even a reborn or transmigrated person could win the first prize.
Her ex-husband, Liu Gang, was just an ordinary person in Ping County.
How could he win 10 million?
This is preposterous!
“I’m not joking with you, after-tax 8 million has already been transferred to his account.”
“And, that was before you got divorced.”
Jiang Tao flicked the ash from his cigarette, his tone very certain.
“After-tax 8 million? We… before we divorced?”
Seeing Jiang Tao’s serious expression, not like he was joking, Yuan Mengqi’s expression also became solemn.
Jiang Tao asked knowingly, “Yes, how did you divide your assets when you divorced? Didn’t he tell you about this?”
“No… no…”
Yuan Mengqi’s breathing became heavy.
Due to her younger brother’s car accident and her mother’s serious illness, her family had faced continuous misfortunes.
When Yuan Mengqi’s family needed help the most, her ex-husband Liu Gang not only provided no assistance.
But instead chose to betray her and divorce Yuan Mengqi.
Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly in different directions.
Yuan Mengqi was heartbroken by Liu Gang’s actions, but seeing him clearly for who he was was not a loss.
If it weren’t for the recent family issues, who knows how many more years she would have spent with that heartless, unrighteous man!
Divorcing him earlier was a good thing for her!
Therefore, during the divorce, Yuan Mengqi and Liu Gang did not argue; both were very calm.
They calmly sat down to discuss the division of property and calmly received their marriage certificate.
They had been husband and wife, and it was a peaceful parting, with neither gaining nor losing.
As a result…
Now someone said her ex-husband won 10 million before their divorce, but didn’t tell her!
Although this bonus was won by Liu Gang buying lottery tickets himself, legally it was considered marital property.
According to Chinese marriage law, Yuan Mengqi had the right to a 50% share!
Jiang Tao asked from the side:
“Class Monitor Yuan, what are your thoughts? At least 4 million of the 8 million Liu Gang received belongs to you.”
“I…”
Yuan Mengqi looked at Jiang Tao with a bewildered and helpless expression.
To be honest, the information Jiang Tao brought had a huge psychological impact on her.
For a moment, she didn’t know how to answer or what to do.
“When your family needed help the most, he chose to divorce you.”
“When he won 8 million, he chose to hoard it all.”
“Yuan Mengqi, Yuan Mengqi, your ex-husband’s actions are too unethical. You’re not going to just let it go, are you?”
“That’s your 4 million. If you fight for it, the law will be on your side.”
“Or, to put it another way, Liu Gang illegally embezzled your 4 million.”
Jiang Tao’s words successfully touched Yuan Mengqi; the more she listened, the more indignant she became!
“Jiang Tao, what should I do now?”
Yuan Mengqi looked at Jiang Tao, her eyes filled with helplessness and confusion.
In matters involving millions of yuan, women tend to seek help from men.
“Here’s my advice, Class Monitor Yuan. Let’s try the gentle approach first. If that doesn’t work, we’ll go for the tough approach.”
When Jiang Tao refreshed this piece of intelligence, he was already considering how to help his old classmate secure her legal rights as much as possible.
“What gentle approach? What tough approach?”
Yuan Mengqi looked at Jiang Tao, completely bewildered.
“The gentle approach is to call him now and tell him you know about the 8 million.”
“If he doesn’t want to go to court, he should quickly return your share.”
Hearing Jiang Tao’s words, Yuan Mengqi’s eyes lit up. Her mind had been in a mess, and she hadn’t thought of such a simple solution.
“What if he doesn’t agree?”
Yuan Mengqi looked at Jiang Tao with some worry.
Based on her understanding of her ex-husband, making that guy spit out 4 million of the 8 million he had swallowed would be harder than killing her.
“If he doesn’t agree, then it’s the tough approach. We’ll meet in court. Class Monitor Yuan, don’t worry, I’ll help you find people and connections. You’ll definitely win.”
Although Jiang Tao wouldn’t gain any personal benefit from this matter, he was still willing to help his old classmate and her family out of their predicament.
Yuan Mengqi’s mother’s medical treatment had cost hundreds of thousands, and the family now owed hundreds of thousands in external debt.
Without this 4 million, Yuan Mengqi’s future life would surely not be easy.
With this 4 million, all problems would be solved.
Swish!
Suddenly, a vibrant blue system interface appeared, displaying a new task prompt.
【Ding! Congratulations, you have triggered a special mission 『Justice’s Judgment』!】
【Task Name】: Justice’s Judgment!
【Task Content】: Help Yuan Mengqi reclaim her rightful property.
【Task Reward】: Recovered assets equivalent to the amount, Physique +5, Charm Value +5, Storage Compartment +3!
“Justice’s Judgment? Help Yuan Mengqi reclaim her property?”
Seeing the recently refreshed task, Jiang Tao couldn’t help but feel joy.
This was exactly what he was doing right now.
Originally, he had been planning to do a good deed and help his old classmate out of goodwill.
He never expected to trigger a special mission!
And the rewards…
“These rewards are quite generous!”
After seeing the rewards listed in the task reward section, Jiang Tao almost burst out laughing!
Recovered assets equivalent to the amount?
In other words, however much he helped Yuan Mengqi recover, he would get the same amount?
After-tax 8 million, he could recover at least 4 million!
Moreover, since Liu Gang intentionally concealed the assets, legally, this was illegal embezzlement.
In court rulings, the court would generally favor the deceived party, meaning Yuan Mengqi would be awarded more!
If this went to court, Jiang Tao estimated Yuan Mengqi would receive at least 4.5 million!
This meant if Jiang Tao helped Yuan Mengqi recover 4.5 million, he would also get 4.5 million!
4.5 million!
Even for the current Jiang Tao, this was a considerable fortune!
Among the task rewards, the physique and charm value bonuses were standard, not particularly outstanding.
But the final Storage Compartment +3 was also a huge surprise for Jiang Tao!
He had spent 1.1 million to unlock just two storage compartments, and unlocking the third would cost 10 million!
Spending 10 million to unlock one storage compartment was something Jiang Tao, whose assets were still in the tens of millions, was reluctant to do.
With that money, he might as well upgrade the system.
An extra system refresh per day would be better than this, right?
Of course, spending 10 million to upgrade the system for an extra piece of intelligence per day was also something Jiang Tao was hesitant about.
System upgrades only increased the quantity of intelligence, not the quality.
When luck was bad, it was possible to refresh four pieces of garbage intelligence.
So, for the current Jiang Tao, three pieces of intelligence per day was enough for now.
He wasn’t as demanding about the quantity of intelligence at the moment.
Only when he earned a “small fortune” would he consider spending 10 million to upgrade the system and increase the intelligence quantity.
After completing the 【Justice’s Judgment】 mission this time, directly receiving 3 storage compartments that Jiang Tao desperately needed was more valuable to him than 4.5 million in cash!
So…
Jiang Tao didn’t mind stirring up trouble for Yuan Mengqi’s ex-husband, Liu Gang!
“Class Monitor Yuan, if you ask me, let’s not waste time with that scumbag ex-husband of yours. Let’s go straight for the tough approach!”
“You know, I have a pretty good relationship with Sister Bai, and I have some connections in our Ping County.”
Seeing Yuan Mengqi’s conflicted expression, Jiang Tao directly offered his opinion.
Regardless of whether he was considering Yuan Mengqi’s perspective or his own interests, he had to strive for as much benefit for Yuan Mengqi as possible!
The more she gained, the more he gained; it was a win-win situation!
“Then… alright, I’ll entrust this matter to you, Jiang Tao. After it’s done, I’ll thank you properly.”
Looking at her old classmate who was standing up for her and wholeheartedly fighting for her interests, Yuan Mengqi was deeply moved, her eyes reddening slightly.
“How will you thank me?”
Jiang Tao smiled and raised an eyebrow at Yuan Mengqi, acting nonchalant and playful.
“Since I’m divorced, how about offering myself in return?”
After Yuan Mengqi finished speaking, she covered her mouth and laughed.
As she laughed, she suddenly felt a pang of sadness, thinking to herself that it would be great if Jiang Tao was also divorced right now.
If that were the case, she would definitely pursue him without hesitation.
“Haha, Class Monitor Yuan, no one thanks people like you. Aren’t you trying to get revenge on me?”
Jiang Tao didn’t take Yuan Mengqi’s words seriously and teased her with a smile.
“What, am I not good enough for you?”
Yuan Mengqi puffed out her chest defiantly, with an expression that asked, “What am I lacking?”
“Hahaha, you are good enough, you are good enough. Class Monitor Yuan is graceful and elegant, I am a rough man, a mortal, not worthy of Class Monitor Yuan.”
Thinking of the generous rewards from 【Justice’s Judgment】, at this moment, Jiang Tao’s mood was incredibly bright and cheerful!
After the two old classmates chatted idly for a few sentences, Jiang Tao directly called Bai Yulan.
On the phone, Jiang Tao explained Yuan Mengqi’s divorce, her family’s current situation,
and the matter of the 8 million to Bai Yulan in full detail.
Bai Yulan was also a very compassionate and justice-minded person.
After listening to Jiang Tao, she immediately expressed that she would definitely help and continue to pay attention to the matter.
The phone call lasted for over an hour before hanging up.
“Alright, Class Monitor Yuan, Sister Bai has spoken, so this matter is basically settled. Just wait to receive the money.”
After hanging up the phone with Bai Yulan, Jiang Tao looked at Yuan Mengqi, genuinely happy for his old classmate.
With this 4 million plus, not only could the family’s debts be paid off.
Yuan Mengqi’s family’s financial crisis would also be greatly alleviated.
“Oh no…”
“If Class Monitor Yuan’s family no longer lacks money, how can I lure away her younger brother?”
Suddenly, Jiang Tao thought of another issue and couldn’t help but frown.
“What’s wrong, Jiang Tao? Is something the matter?”
Yuan Mengqi saw Jiang Tao frowning and thought there was trouble with her own situation, so she quickly asked with concern.
“Oh, no, everything is going smoothly. I’m thinking about something else.”
Jiang Tao snapped back to attention, looked at Yuan Mengqi, and explained with a smile.
Yuan Mengqi asked curiously, “Something else? What are you thinking about?”
Jiang Tao asked, “Aren’t you curious why I asked your younger brother to meet?”
“I am a bit curious. What are you going to talk about with Mengjie?”
Yuan Mengqi looked at Jiang Tao with curiosity. To be honest, she was too curious and found it hard to hold back.
Jiang Tao said frankly with a smile, “I plan to open a hot pot restaurant in the Capital City and want to recruit your younger brother to my restaurant.”
“Recruit my younger brother to your restaurant?”
Yuan Mengqi was indeed a bit surprised to hear Jiang Tao’s words.
She knew that her younger brother had planned to resign from Qiao Shaguo and start his own business a long time ago.
But he hadn’t found a suitable opportunity.
This time, because of the car accident and her mother’s serious illness.
The family’s savings were depleted, and they incurred hundreds of thousands in external debt.
In such a disastrous situation.
A stable income would be more prudent.
Investment and entrepreneurship were not suitable for Yuan Mengjie at the moment.
He also lacked the courage to go all out.
Therefore, he was still a chef at Qiao Shaguo.
Besides taking care of his mother, he still had to go to the restaurant to work every day.
After all, the surgical and medical expenses for his mother had been raised.
But post-recovery would also require a lot of money.
His job at Qiao Shaguo was his only source of income.
“Yes, after returning to the Capital this time, I also plan to open a hot pot restaurant, similar to Qiao Shaguo, focusing on hot pot.”
“If the business is good, I will open a second, third, and fourth branch.”
“In the future, I will open my hot pot restaurants in all 16 districts of the Capital City.”
“Each district will have at least about 5 branches.”
Talking about the hot pot restaurant, Jiang Tao began to elaborate on his plan to Yuan Mengqi.
Although the first store was still in its infancy.
Jiang Tao had absolute confidence in the hot pot restaurant he was about to open.
With the backing of 【Delicious Clay Pot】, making money would be as easy as drinking water for him!
Furthermore, the profits of the hot pot restaurant could be doubled using 【Monopoly Dice】.
This undoubtedly added another layer of insurance to Jiang Tao’s entrepreneurship.
Even with a thin profit margin and high sales strategy.
Doubling it through 【Monopoly Dice】 could yield huge additional revenue.
Of course, Jiang Tao wouldn’t adopt such a conventional strategy of thin profit and high sales.
The powerful attributes of 【Delicious Clay Pot】 also supported him in pursuing a high-end route.
The Qiao Shaguo restaurant they ate at for lunch today had a consumption level that was too low.
People could eat their fill for just over ten yuan per person, focusing on good quality and low prices.
In the prime real estate of the Capital City, following the route of this hot pot restaurant in Ping County would not only fail to make money but would likely result in losses!
Jiang Tao was adapting to local conditions!
Watching Jiang Tao passionately describe his business plan, Yuan Mengqi couldn’t help but stare in a daze.
Men look so handsome when they are serious!
