Chapter 11 — A Retreat Called Love

He is promiscuous, has accumulated debts from gambling, and dares to do anything for money. Working in the insurance industry for many years, understanding all processes and loopholes. In this whole incident, he is the one in control behind the scenes. Chu Nghi and Ly Tu Lan are nothing more than puppets in his hands. Such a cooperative relationship looks solid, but is actually extremely fragile. Once disaster strikes, the first thing to collapse is the alliance built on interests.

“Lawyer Truong, I need you to help me get an investigation order.”

I told my plan.

"Investigate all of that company's insurance records that year, along with Chu Khai's personal account statements. I'm sure there's a problem inside."

"In addition, I want to apply for an asset preservation order. Immediately freeze the house in Ly Tu Lan's name, along with all bank accounts of Chu Nghi and Chu Khai."

Lawyer Truong did not hesitate.

"I will go to work right away. But To Tinh, you must prepare yourself mentally. Once the criminal investigation is launched, everything will no longer be under control. Chu Nghi and the others may recklessly protest."

“I'll wait here.”

I hung up the phone, my eyes no longer had any heat. I had nothing left to lose. But they are different. And what they do will definitely pay the heaviest price. I sent Cao Chi Vien a message.

“Continue to follow them.”

“Especially Zhou Kai.”

“I need the contact list of his gambling friends, along with the entire recent debt situation.”

The message was sent not long ago. Cao Zhiyuan responded with an “OK” symbol. After arranging everything. I lay down on the hospital bed. An unprecedented feeling of fatigue immediately came. It's not that the body is tired. But the heart is exhausted. I can't imagine it. For the past three years, I have shared bed with the son of a murderer. Just thinking about it is enough to make me shiver. Even scared. If I don't break my leg this time. If I hadn't accidentally discovered their secret. If I continue to be an obedient, patient, loving and hard-working wife like before. So what will my outcome be? Will there be a day when... Because of a certain insurance sum... Will I also become a victim of an "unintended accident"? That thought sent chills down my spine. The days that followed. The court acted faster than I thought. Attorney Truong successfully obtained an asset preservation order. The house in Ly Tu Lan's name was sealed. The bank accounts of Chu Nghi and Chu Khai were also frozen. Until the news reached their ears. It was two days later. The first person to call was Chu Khai. Just picked up the phone. His voice was filled with anger and panic. There is no longer any fake sincerity like before.

“Are you crazy?”

“Based on what to block my account?”

“What the hell does my money have to do with you?”

I calmly replied:

"Whether it's related or not, the police will investigate clearly."

“Don't threaten me with the police!”

He almost roared.

“I tell you!”

“Cancel the blockade immediately!”

“If not, I'll make it impossible for you to leave the hospital, do you believe it?”

A blatant threat. Not at all hidden. But I just smiled slightly.

“Zhu Kai.”

"Thing It's not the bank account you should worry about right now.”

“It's the accident insurance policy I took out for my uncle two years ago.”

The space on the other end of the line suddenly fell silent. Scary quiet. I could even clearly hear his heavy breathing. Like an animal cornered. Nearly half a minute later. He barely managed to utter a sentence.

“You... know everything?”

I slowly replied:

“Things you shouldn't know.”

“Don't I already know that?”

“Think about it.”

“If I tell the whole story to the police.”

“How will you end up?”

His voice suddenly rose high. It's so loud that it feels like it's about to tear your eardrums.

“I warn you!”

“This is the matter of the Chu family!”

“An outsider like you better not interfere!”

“If you force me to the end.”

“I can do anything!”

I immediately responded.

“For example, create another traffic accident?”

Chu Khai was completely silent. Cannot refute. It cannot be denied. Can't explain either. I hit his weak point. He's scared.

“Zhu Kai.”

“I give you a chance.”

I slowly let go of the bait.

“Tell me everything.”

“The truth about the accident that year.”

“And the actual place where my five hundred thousand yuan disappeared.”

“If you cooperate.”

“I can consider helping you ask for leniency in court.”

“Dream!”

He immediately screamed.

“Do you want to extort something from me?”

“Don't even try!”

“I tell you!”

“We are all grasshoppers on the same string!”

“If I don't live in peace.”

“Don't you dare live in peace!”

He hung up the phone aggressively. A long beeping sound rang out in the hospital room. I looked at the black screen. The corners of the lips curled slightly. People are more aggressive. Often more guilty. This fish... is about to bite. That evening. The caller was Chu Nghi. Different from Chu Khai. He doesn't yell.
