Chapter 15 — After I Escaped the Trap of 4.8 Million Yuan

Those eyes were extremely complicated. There was a concussion. There is confusion. There is despair. Deliverance? He opened his mouth. A sound came from his throat like that of a dying wild animal. Then eyes rolled back. The whole person fell straight from the chair to the ground.

“Jianjun!”

Aunt screamed mournfully. The whole courtroom immediately became chaotic. The trial was adjourned. My uncle was taken to the emergency room. The diagnosis was acute cerebral hemorrhage. Must have surgery immediately. She knelt down in front of the emergency room door. Mouth keeps repeating the same sentence over and over again.

“The letter is not like that… it is not like that…”

I stood at the end of the hallway. Coldly looking at everything. Tran Vu walked next to me.

“Is he… okay?”

“I can't die.” I replied.

"Even if you really die... you still have to do it yourself."

Tran Vu gently patted my shoulder.

“Don't think too much.”

“We will definitely win this lawsuit.”

“That letter is the best evidence.”

I shook my head.

“This is not over yet.”

“Don't you find it very strange?”

“What's strange?”

“That letter.” I said.

“I recognize my uncle's handwriting.”

“The letter was indeed written by you.”

"But when did you write it? Who did you write it for? And how did it fall into my uncle's hands?"

“Why is my uncle so sure that the contents of the letter will benefit him?”

“Unless… what he saw was not this letter in the first place.” Tran Vu continued my words.

His expression also became serious.

“What do you mean… someone swapped letters?”

“Or more accurately…” I said slowly. “Someone gave him a ‘fake’ letter in the first place.”

“Make him believe he holds the trump card.”

“Then, at the most important moment… it changed back to the real letter.”

“Let him stand in court by himself, right in front of everyone… he is ruined.”

How cruel a plan is that? Not just wanting to kill people. But I also want to crush the opponent's soul.

“Who is it?” Tran Vu asked.

My mind immediately flashed the image of the mysterious woman who had called me. And the person behind it all. Everything... It's all the situation he laid out. From Chu Hao's loan. When it comes to my uncle being the guarantor. From the fake donation agreement. Until that mixed real and fake letter. Everything hooked up perfectly. Every step is carefully calculated. Ultimately what is his purpose? Just for money? If it was just for money, from the moment he defrauded the bank loan, he could have disappeared. There's no need to make up more stories like that. He is taking revenge. Take revenge on each person in the Chu family. Even me. We are all just pieces in his chessboard. Being controlled at will by him in the palm of his hand.

“Tran Vu.” I took a deep breath.

“Help me investigate someone.”

“I don't know his name.”

“I just know… there's a possibility he was involved in my uncle's death.”

Tran Vu paused.

“Didn't your uncle die in an accident?”

“I thought so too before.”

“But now… I'm not sure anymore.”

A person can hate my uncle that deeply. Understand his handwriting clearly. I still have the entire situation of my house in the palm of my hand. Besides the closest person next to my father... I can't think of anyone else.

“Jing Jing, this could be a lot deeper than we think.”

"I know."

“Are you sure you still want to continue the investigation?”

“Maybe stopping now… is the choice safest for you.”

I looked at the woman sitting in front of the emergency room door, her eyes blank as if she had lost her soul. I remember Chu Hao in the video being beaten miserably. Remembering my uncle collapsing in court. They are hateful. But it's also pitiful. No matter what... They should not be treated as toys by others to be manipulated at will.

“Investigation.” I said emphatically.

“I want to know the truth.”

"Even though behind the truth is an abyss ten thousand feet deep."

Right at that moment. My phone rang. Is some completely foreign foreign country. I hesitated for a few seconds then picked up the phone. On the other end of the line was someone I never expected in my wildest dreams. His voice was filled with panic and urgency. It sounded like he was running away for his life.

“Sister… save me…”

“What happened?” My heart immediately tightened.

“He… he wants to kill me!”

“Who is he?” I immediately inquired.

There was suddenly a loud noise on the other end of the line. Like something was kicked open. Then came Chu Hao's pitiful scream. Along with a bunch of foreign language that I couldn't understand. Then right after that. The call was cut off.
