Chapter 10 — After My Mother-in-law Bought Me a 3 Million Yuan Death Insurance Package

He cleared his throat, looked around and finally stopped his eyes on me.

"Tu Lan... this... we really don't know. Thuy Hoa hid it from everyone."

I looked at him.

“When she went around the village spreading the news that you were sick, I knew.”

“When she brought people to the door of the homestay to cause trouble, I also knew.”

“When she made the whole village isolate you, I still knew.”

“So why didn't you say you didn't know then?”

Old Chu's face turned red. Lips moved a few times but could not refute. Aunt Truong squatted on the ground to pick up the broken pieces, from beginning to end not daring to look up at me. At the next table, a young wife muttered in a low voice:

"This Tu Lan is really terrible. After holding on for so long without saying a word, it turns out she was secretly preparing for a big blow from behind."

Liu Tieu Yen glared at that table.

“Now you know how to say people are terrible?”

“Why didn't you say that a few days ago at the market?”

“Who said Tu Lan was a comet that day?”

The young wife immediately shrank her neck and fell silent. I won't stay in that yard any longer. What needs to be said... The notice of the case has already said it all for me. I turned around and left. Liu Tieu Yen trotted after. Walking to the beginning of the alley, footsteps were heard behind. It's Aunt Truong. She followed a few steps, stood there rubbing her hands, her face both awkward and embarrassed.

"Tu Lan... about the other day at the market... I... I didn't mean to not sell you tofu. It's because Thuy Hoa said..."

I interrupted her.

“Aunt Truong.”

“I don't owe you tofu.”

“What you owe me… was a fair sentence at the time.”

"I can't pay for that."

“And I don't need it anymore.”

The smile on Aunt Truong's face stiffened. Tieu Yen and I took the electric car back to the homestay. After entering the yard and closing the gate, Luu Tieu Yen finally exploded.

“It's so refreshing!”

"Do you see Vuong Thuy Hoa's face? It's as pale as a ghost!"

"And Tran Dai Quan's cowardly appearance! After only running three steps, he was pinned to the ground! Hahaha!"

She laughed and slapped her thighs, spinning around in the yard. I sat down under the grape arbor. Finally, I can really breathe a sigh of relief. From the time I received that phone call until today... Eighteen days. Every day is like walking on a steel wire.

"Tu Lan, when did you start preparing? You really hid it from me!"

I looked at her.

“When I received the confirmation call from the insurance company last night, I understood.”

“Someone like Vuong Thuy Hoa cannot just stop talking.”

"If she dares to falsify documents, there is definitely a bigger conspiracy."

“The next day I immediately went to the insurance company's counter.”

“The staff there said I could do the dispute procedure, but I know that way is too slow.”

“On the spot, I asked for the phone number of the risk control department.”

“And then what?”

“The third day, Trieu Loi came.”

"He investigated for two days and discovered that the application for compensation review had already been submitted."

“From that moment on, I always cooperated with him to collect evidence.”

Liu Tieu Yen's eyes widened.

“So the time you were bullied by her… rumors were spread, the whole village avoided you like a god, and people were brought to ask for guardianship for you…”

“Is it all pretend?”

“It's not fake.”

“Every story is true.”

“She really wants to hurt me.”

“I'm really holding back.”

“The only difference is… I know What game is she playing?

“And she doesn't know… I'm fighting too.”

Tieu Yen sat down, held my hand tightly and squeezed it several times.

“Tham Tu Lan, you are really scary.”

“Normally, I stay quiet and don't say anything, but it turns out my heart is more alert than anything else.”

I didn't reply. It's not like I'm awake. It's being forced to wake up. If it wasn't for the confirmation call from the insurance company that day that accidentally saved my life... Perhaps until now I still don't know that there is a knife hanging above my head. In the afternoon, Trieu Loi called.

“Miss Tham, all four of you have been arrested.”

“Vuong Thuy Hoa and Tran Dai Quan are in criminal detention.”

"Tran Nhi Ho, on the way to be escorted, revealed the entire process of falsifying the diagnosis certificate."

“As for Chu Kien Quoc, he took the initiative to go to the station to surrender.”

“Has Chu Kien Quoc surrendered?”

“He came on his own.”

"It is said that after seeing the police car leaving the village, that afternoon he personally went to the district police station and submitted a written statement covering four pages."

I don't feel anything special. Chu Kien Quoc was originally a cowardly person. Just look at the day I asked a question and turned around to run away to know. He was just being used by others. But being taken advantage of... doesn't mean being innocent.

“There's one more thing you might want to know.”

“What?”

"During interrogation, Tran Dai Quan revealed one more thing."

“Three weeks ago, Vuong Thuy Hoa told Tran Nhi Ho to go to the dog farm in the next village to buy a Thanh wolf dog.”

“Raised in captivity in the mountains, in an abandoned shack.”
