Chen Yun's gaze fell on Zhao Qingyu, and he said, "It's time we settled our matter. The Civil Affairs Bureau is right across from the hotel. Let's go there and get our divorce certificate. Let's part amicably!"

Zhao Qingyu trembled.

Her parents and brother's expressions changed drastically, and they kept giving her winks, signaling that she should not agree to the divorce no matter what.

Because of this incident, the Zhao family discovered that Chen Yun was even richer than they had imagined.

More importantly, even his uncle's superiors treated Chen Yun with utmost respect, which shows that Chen Yun was not only wealthy but also wielded considerable power.

The Zhao family absolutely did not want to lose such a powerful and wealthy son-in-law!

In fact, Zhao Qingyu also didn't want a divorce.

But today, her family tampered with Chen Yun's tea, and Chen Yun found out, which made him very angry.

In addition, her uncle's threat to divide Chen Yun's family property has caused her image in Chen Yun's eyes to plummet to rock bottom.

The cooling-off period is over now, and if she still drags her feet and refuses to get a divorce...

Chen Yun didn't even need to use any tricks to deal with her; he could simply file for divorce, and the court would determine that the relationship had broken down and grant the divorce directly.

Rather than dragging it out until the end and getting a divorce anyway, it's better to part amicably, at least salvaging her image in Chen Yun's eyes.

At this point, all hope vanished.

Zhao Qingyu seemed oblivious to the frequent glances exchanged between her parents and younger brother. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said softly, "Okay, let's get the divorce certificate now."

Chen Yun said, "Then let's go!"

Zhao Qingyu nodded and left the private room with Chen Yun.

Shu Lingyue followed her out.

When Zhao Zhikang, Wang Fengping, and Zhao Xiaopeng saw that Zhao Qingyu had actually agreed to get a divorce certificate with Chen Yun, the whole family was so anxious that they were almost in tears.

He Liqiang only then learned about the relationship between the Zhao family and Chen Yun.

He shook his head, preparing to leave with his subordinates.

Zhao Zhichun, who was kneeling on the ground, weeping and regretting his actions, suddenly chased after his leader, kneeling and crawling, and grabbed He Liqiang's leg, crying, "Boss, please help me!"

"I come from a poor background, and it wasn't easy for me to get into a prestigious university. I've also worked hard to achieve this little bit of success today. I really don't want to just give up like this!"

He Liqiang kicked Zhao Zhichun away and cursed, "Zhao Zhichun, you know you come from a poor family and have worked hard to get where you are today, yet you still dare to bully others? Now that you've ended up like this, what do you have to say?"

Zhao Zhichun crawled over again and grabbed He Liqiang's foot.

It's like a gambler who's lost everything grabbing at their last coin, or a drowning person grasping at a straw.

They didn't care whether they could turn the tide and save their lives.

He pleaded repeatedly, "Boss, you're in a high position and have a lot of power, you must have a way. Please lend me a hand and save me! I will be forever grateful for your kindness..."

He Liqiang said coldly, "It's one thing for you to bully others by abusing your power, but you insist on causing trouble from above instead of from below!"

"Who dares to save you? Who can save you? That's Mr. Chen!"

Zhao Zhichun's eyes were filled with an unyielding sense of confusion.

Zhao Zhikang, Wang Fengping, and Zhao Xiaopeng also looked completely bewildered.

Everyone's wondering, just who is Chen Yun?

Why does Commissioner He act so respectfully?

Zhao Zhichun was unwilling and unconvinced. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Boss, is that kid Chen Yun really that powerful? With your status and position, if you want to protect me, do you think he would dare to refuse?"

He Liqiang's face darkened: "My status? What status do I have? I'm nothing in front of Mr. Che!"

Zhao Zhichun was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

Zhao Xiaopeng's family looked at each other in bewilderment.

He Liqiang glared at Zhao Zhichun and continued cursing, "You want me to save you? But you don't know, I'm already in dire straits myself, how can I save you?"

Zhao Zhichun was about to speak.

He Liqiang slowly said, "Let me tell you something else! A couple of days ago, my son also offended Mr. Chen and threatened to shut down Mr. Chen's hotel. Guess what happened? My son is still lying in the hospital now!"

Boom!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhichun was struck dumb, his whole body trembling. He blurted out, "What? Young Master He is in the hospital because he was beaten by Chen Yun?!"

Zhao Xiaopeng's family was dumbfounded; their mouths were so wide open from extreme shock that they could fit three salted duck eggs inside.

He Liqiang glanced coldly at Zhao Zhichun and sneered, "My son offended Mr. Chen and has to go to the hospital. You've only been dismissed from your post, which is extremely lucky. What else is there to say?"

Zhao Zhichun froze, finally realizing that he had offended a very important person he absolutely could not afford to offend today.

He deserved his fate!

He slowly released his grip on He Liqiang, no longer daring to beg He Liqiang to protect him.

He Liqiang can't even protect his own son, how could he possibly protect him?

For a moment, he felt utterly hopeless.

Looking at the disheartened and desperate Zhao Zhichun, and then at Zhao Zhikang's family, He Liqiang said irritably, "I really don't know what's wrong with you people? So many people want to get in touch with Mr. Chen but can't find a way!"

"You two are really something, not cherishing such a dragon among men as Mr. Chen, but actually letting your daughter divorce him?"

"I don't even want to talk to you anymore. You can spend the rest of your lives regretting it!"

After saying that, he left with his entourage.

Zhao Zhikang and the others were left bewildered in the private room!

Zhao Xiaopeng's eyes were filled with panic, and he stammered, "Mom and Dad, it's over. Chen Yun is much more powerful than we thought. He must be an incredibly wealthy and powerful figure. Our Zhao family could have risen to prominence through him, but we've squandered that opportunity with our own hands..."

Zhao Zhikang and Wang Fengping turned pale.

Even Zhao Zhichun's heart was bleeding. If Chen Yun were his cousin's husband, he would definitely benefit from Chen Yun's influence and have a smooth career!

But now, it's all gone, nothing at all.

After his expression changed several times, Zhao Zhikang finally realized what was happening: "Quick, quick, quick, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. We might still be able to catch up with them and stop them from getting a divorce. As long as we can delay the divorce, we still have a chance to salvage the situation!"

Upon hearing this, everyone realized the logic in the argument and rushed out of the private room, hurrying towards the Civil Affairs Bureau.

And at this moment!

At the Civil Affairs Bureau, Chen Yun and Zhao Qingyu were already going through divorce proceedings.

The two had already filed for divorce, and today marked the end of the cooling-off period.

So within minutes, they received their divorce certificates.

The two came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Shu Lingyue had been waiting for Chen Yun by the roadside for quite some time.

Is there anything else Zhao Qingyu wants to say to Chen Yun?

But she had barely opened her mouth, before she could even utter a word!

Chen Yun walked towards the car by the roadside without looking back, got in, and drove away.

Zhao Qingyu stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded as the car gradually disappeared from her sight until it vanished.

Does falling out of love mean you have to be so heartless?

She looked down at the divorce certificate in her hand and finally realized that she had completely lost Chen Yun.

Suddenly, she broke down emotionally, squatted on the ground, and sobbed uncontrollably.

Just then, Zhao Zhikang and his group hurriedly came out of the hotel and happened to see this scene.

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and their faces were filled with despair: It's over, they got their divorce certificates, it's all over.
