Chapter 10 — A Retreat Called Love

After hanging up the phone, I felt like a soldier about to go to war who was finally given a weapon. The road ahead is still full of dangers. But at least I'm no longer empty-handed. The next two days passed unusually peacefully. Chu Nghi and Ly Tu Lan seem to have disappeared from this city. No phone. No messages. Without any disturbance. Every day Lam Man came to the hospital with me, brought food and told the police about the situation. The police have officially filed a case with theft. But Chu Nghi and Ly Tu Lan's phones were both turned off, and their rented house was empty. The case temporarily fell into a deadlock.

“They hide like rats.”

Lam Man said angrily.

"Once I catch them, I'll definitely skin them!"

I patted her hand gently, signaling not to get excited.

“They won't be able to hide for long.”

I know they are waiting. Wait for me to run out of patience. Waiting for me to have no money left to pay hospital fees and then being urged by the hospital. Wait until I have no way back and proactively contact them. At that time, they will use the assets and documents they took from me as bargaining chips, forcing me to sign a divorce petition and leave empty-handed. They miscalculated one thing. To Tinh, I have never been one to sit still and wait for death. On the morning of the third day, news from Cao Zhiyuan finally arrived. He sent me an address and some photos. The address is an old residential area in the suburbs. In the photo are Chu Nghi and Chu Khai. Two people were walking out of a mahjong room in a residential area. They were holding each other's shoulders, their faces were cheerful, they looked very happy. Another photo is of my mother-in-law, Ly Tu Lan. She was never sick. Not even "about to die". She was wearing colorful clothes and was dancing in the square with a group of old ladies in the residential park, in extremely good spirits. Cao Chi Vien also attached a message.

"They didn't run far. They are currently staying in the house Chu Khai rented."

“These past few days, Chu Nghi has always been with Chu Khai, often going in and out of card rooms and underground casinos.”

In addition, about your father-in-law's accident, I have investigated a few interesting things.” Looking here, my heart started beating fast.

"Records that year showed that the surveillance camera at the scene was broken and could not record the car causing the accident."

“The only witness was an old man who picked up scraps and bottles. He said he saw a black car, but couldn't remember the license plate number."

“However, I found the insurance company's compensation records.”

“One month before the accident, Mr. Zhou Jianguo bought an accident insurance package worth one million five hundred thousand yuan.”

“Who do you think is the person in charge of completing procedures for this insurance contract?”

My breathing seemed to stop. Cao Chi Vien's last message appeared.

“Zhu Kai.”

Boom. I felt like my whole world was blown to pieces by a bolt of lightning. It turns out that's it. So that's it! All the seemingly unrelated clues, at this moment, are connected together! A seemingly unexpected accident. A huge insurance sum. A family suddenly became rich. A relative is an insurance agent. A broken camera. One witness spoke vaguely. This is not an accident! This is a murder to Insurance fraud is planned in advance! As for my husband Chu Nghi and my mother-in-law Ly Tu Lan, they are not just the ones who know, they are the masterminds! They used the lives of their relatives to exchange for one million five hundred thousand yuan, in exchange for that house! Then he used the same trick to steal five hundred thousand yuan from me! This family, in their bones, does not bleed, but a mixture of greed and cruelty. I held the phone, so angry that my whole body trembled, my stomach churned violently, and waves of nausea came. I finally understood why my mother-in-law used the story of "father-in-law's death" to lure me. Because that is their biggest secret, also their most fatal weakness. She thought that secret could become a card to threaten me. But she did not expect that that secret would become the ticket that would take them to hell. I took a deep breath and called lawyer Truong.

“Lawyer Truong, our previous litigation strategy must change.”

“I don't just want a divorce, I don't just want my money back.”

“I want them to go to jail.”

Lawyer Truong's voice on the other end of the line immediately became serious.

"To Tinh, are you sure? Killing people for insurance profit is not a small thing. Do you have real evidence?"

“Not yet.”

I looked at the documents Cao Chi Vien sent, my eyes cold.

“But he certainly will.”

“Zhu Kai.”

I understand Chu Nghi and Ly Tu Lan very well. They are selfish and greedy, but deep down they are very cowardly. Things like killing people for insurance profit, they have greed, but absolutely do not have enough courage to plan and execute it themselves. Chu Khai is different.
