Chapter 24 — After Divorce, I Am a Real Angel

use. Who would've waited for one, it's been 20 years." He put out his cigarette, reached into his pocket and pulled out a dagger, fiddling with it in his hand.

“Unfortunately, the time was not yet ripe for my brother to go to prison. Pho Chan Hoa also started to put away the net, I had to run away. But before he escapes—” He looked at me, his eyes like a venomous snake, “I have to deal with you first. As long as you are alive, Fu Zhenhua still has weaknesses. Only when you die will he panic and I will have a chance to turn the tables."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly pounced and the knife stabbed straight into my chest. I was prepared in advance, leaned forward to avoid it, grabbed the ashtray on the table and threw it straight at him. To Quoc Hung tilted his head to avoid it, the ashtray hit the wall and broke into pieces. His eyes sharpened and he pounced again. I turned around to run, but he grabbed my hair and yanked me back. My scalp hurt, I staggered and fell down, my forehead hit the corner of the table, my eyes went black. To Quoc Hung pressed on me, holding the dagger high.

“Don't blame me, big niece. If you blame me, blame your life for not being good and being reincarnated in the wrong place."

The knife stabbed down. I closed my eyes tightly. But the expected pain did not come. A "thump" sounded, accompanied by To Quoc Hung's pitiful scream. I opened my eyes and saw Pho Kinh Nghien appearing at the door, holding a baseball bat in his hand, hitting To Quoc Hung's back. The knife flew to the ground, and he curled up in pain.

“To Nghien!” Pho Kinh Nghien rushed over, pulled me up from the ground, checked me all over, "Are you okay? Where are you injured?

My forehead was bleeding, my eyes were still a bit dizzy, but I still tried to stand still.

“I'm fine…”

“Are you crazy?” Pho Kinh Nghien turned his head and kicked To Quoc Hung with a cruel look, "Who gave you the guts to touch her?"

To Quoc Hung lay flat on the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood, but still smirked: "Pho Kinh Nghien... Who do you think you are? Does the Pho family's hunting dog also consider itself its owner? I tell you, you are just a dog raised by Pho Chan Hoa..." Pho Kinh Nghien's eyes darkened, he squatted down, grabbed To Quoc Hung's collar, and said each word: "It doesn't matter who I am. The important thing is, if you dare touch her, I will make your life worse than death."

“Huh…” To Quoc Hung spat out blood, “Isn't living better than dying? Pho Kinh Nghien, do you know how your biological parents died? It's Pho Zhenhua! Because of the Deputy, he killed your parents! You've been selling your life for me for so many years, don't you think it's funny?"

Pho Kinh Nghien's hand stiffened. I looked at him and saw that his face was pale and his lips were trembling.

“What did you say?”

"I said, your parents were killed by Pho Zhenhua." To Quoc Hung chuckled, "That year, the Deputy Thi had an infighting, your father was my strongest competitor. The old man, in order to clear the road, created that car accident. You lived a long life, did not die, and was taken home by the old man to raise and mold you into a grandchild. But why is he nice to you? If not because of guilt then why! Because he killed your whole family!”

Pho Kinh Nghien let go of his hand, took a step back, and staggered against the wall.

“No way…” He muttered, “Grandpa wouldn't…”

“No?” To Quoc Hung crawled up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Pho Kinh Nghien, think carefully, does Pho Chan Hoa really treat you like a nephew? He forced you to marry To Nghien, forced you to learn this and that, forced you to follow his plan, has he ever respected your wishes at all? In his eyes, you are just a tool, used to stabilize Pho, used to control To Nghien!”

Pho Kinh Nghien bowed his head, his shoulders trembling. I looked at him, my mind was full of chaos. Turns out, we are all chess pieces.
