Prepared for the worst? Cheng Qingchongâs hand that held the doorknob tightened. When Qin Yinan started speaking again, she held her breath to focus on her listening.
"...At worst, Iâll apply for bankruptcy... Thereâs always money to be earned. Itâs not so bad... Regarding the bank loan, Iâll figure it out... I still have the house and car, right?"
Apply for bankruptcy? The problem Qin Yinanâs company is facing is so big that he has to apply for bankruptcy? Just as the question entered her mind, Qin Yinan hung up.
Cheng Qingchong immediately pulled her thoughts back, closed the door, and rushed back to lie in bed.
The house was quiet for a long time before Cheng Qingchong heard Qin Yinanâs footsteps, coming not toward the bedroom but the study. As the door of the study opened and closed, the house became quiet once more.
Cheng Qingchong then pulled out her phone to call the number of one of her former colleagues. The colleague was probably asleep because the call was only answered after it was left to ring for a long time. "Hello?"
"Iâm so sorry to call you so late at night..."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Qingchong?" The colleague probably didnât glance at the ID before she picked the call up. When she recognized the voice, she uttered with surprise, "Whatâs wrong? Is it an emergency to be calling me so late at night?"
"Yes... I have a question to ask you about Qin Yinan..."
"Qin Yinan? Your husband?"
Her colleagues didnât know about her divorce and still saw Qin Yinan as her husband. Cheng Qingchong paused for a minute before confirming with a soft "hmm". Then, she cut straight to the chase. "Is there a problem facing his company?"
"Iâm not particularly clear about the details, but I heard from some people yesterday that thereâs some sort of problem with the investment of your husbandâs company..." The colleague paused before adding, "...How about this, Iâll call my contacts to get the finer details, and Iâll update you later, okay?"
"Okay."
"But itâs already quite late, so my contacts might not be available. Do you mind waiting until tomorrow 10 am?"
"Of course, I donât. Thank you for your help."
...
After she hung up, before Cheng Qingchong could even place her phone down, the return call from her colleague came.
"Qingchong, this is such a coincidence, I have a friend working at your husbandâs company that is still up. So, I asked him about it, do you know Zhou Wei? Heâs one of the investors for your husbandâs company. Your husbandâs company has already finished the product, and theyâre now waiting for his investment money to come in, but the man has suddenly disappeared. The company budget all depends upon this upcoming product line, so if the money still doesnât come by next Monday, Iâm afraid your husbandâs company will have to announce its bankruptcy. When he started the company, your husband probably asked for a loan from the bank, so the situation might be a bit more complicated than that..."
Cheng Qingchong then connected this to what she had overheard from Qin Yinanâs phone earlier, and she understood everything instantly. When Qin Yinan started the company, they werenât divorced yet, so she did know about the bank loan.
If the investment issue couldnât be solved, Qin Yinan would lose everything...
