Chapter 6 — After My Roommate Robbed My Dad

Two bodyguards wearing black vests immediately stepped forward, each holding one of Lam Dao's hands.

“What are you doing?!”

“Let me go!”

Lam Dao struggled frantically.

“You dare to hit someone in broad daylight?!”

Trieu Le Hoa also immediately stopped crying and jumped up from the floor.

“You dare?!”

“I tell you, if anything happens to my son, I will risk my life for you!”

The scene was momentarily chaotic. At that moment— Lawyer Tan coughed softly. The sound is not loud. But it was as if there was magic power, causing the whole room to immediately fall silent. He slowly stood up, walked in front of Trieu Le Hoa and gently pushed his golden glasses on the bridge of his nose.

“Mrs. Zhao Lihua, right?”

His voice was gentle. But it carries a sense of oppression that makes people dare not protest. Trieu Le Hoa was stunned by that momentum and unconsciously nodded.

“I am the Hua family's legal advisor.”

Lawyer Tan opened his briefcase and took out a few sheets of paper.

"First, about what you said your daughter - Lam Vy - has 'been by' Mr. Hua Chan Bang for four years."

He put a piece of paper in front of her.

“This is Mr. Hua's recent four-year medical examination report.”

“With the entire immigration history.”

“I can take the responsibility of telling you that…”

“During the past four years, in addition to normal contact with my biological daughter, Ms. Hua Giai…”

"Mr. Hua has never had any illicit relationships with young women."

“The words you just said…”

“Constituted serious defamation.”

“We reserve the right to pursue legal liability.”

Trieu Le Hoa's face immediately turned pale. Lawyer Tan took out the second document.

“Next…”

“About your daughter — Lam Vy — receiving funding in the name of a ‘poor student’.”

“This is Mr. Hua's entire four-year transfer history.”

“The total amount is one million seven hundred eighty-three thousand six hundred yuan.”

He stopped, raised his head and looked at Trieu Le Hoa.

“According to our investigation…”

"Although Ms. Lam Vy's family is not rich, her parents are still well-off and both have the ability to work."

"Mr. Lam Dao next to her has also grown up."

"This is completely inconsistent with the situation that Ms. Lam Vy once described to Mr. Hua..."

“That she was an orphan and had no one to rely on.”

“Within the law…”

“This behavior is called fraud.”

Trieu Le Hoa looked like she had just heard a joke.

“Don't you dare scare me!”

“My daughter only received sponsorship, how could she become a scam?!”

Lawyer Tan smiled slightly. Then take out your phone and press the play button. Immediately— In the living room, Trieu Le Hoa's sour voice from yesterday was clearly heard.

"...My daughter is young and beautiful, has been with him for many years, how about spending some of his money? That's what she deserves! It's the cost of her youth!..."

“...If you dare to touch my daughter, I will go to school and cause trouble with the company!...”

The recording ends. The whole living room fell into dead silence. Trieu Le Hoa's expression went from aggressive... to stunned... Then turned to panic. The blood on her face drained away at a speed visible to the naked eye. She couldn't believe— I actually recorded it.

“According to current criminal law…”

Lawyer Tan slowly spoke.

“Defrauding an amount exceeding five hundred thousand yuan…”

“It will be classified as 'extremely serious'.”

“Sentence legal…”

“Ten years or more in prison.”

His voice was calm and chilling. It was like the sound of a verdict coming from hell.

“In other words…”

“If we file criminal proceedings…”

“Lam Vy will face at least ten years in prison.”

“And you — Trieu Le Hoa.”

“With Mr. Lam Dao…”

“As someone who knows and at the same time benefits from this money…”

“There is also the possibility of being identified as an accomplice.”

“Sitting…in jail?”

Trieu Le Hoa's legs were soft, her whole body fell directly to the floor. Not acting. But really threatened to collapse. Lam Dao next to him also looked dumbfounded, his lips trembled, he couldn't say a word. Street people like them can be mean, can cause chaos, can bully the weak. But what they fear most... is the word "jail". In their perception, it is the most terrifying punishment in the world. Lawyer Tan looked down at the mother and daughter from above, as if looking at two tiny ants. He placed part of the document and a pen on the tea table in front of Trieu Le Hoa.

“This is a repayment agreement.”

"It clearly states that Lam Vy must repay the entire one hundred seventy-eight thousand principal amount within three years."

"The same interest calculated according to the bank interest rate for the same period."

“Must pay first.”

“Ten thousand yuan.”

"We can temporarily not prosecute Lam Vy for criminal liability."

“If you don't sign…”

The corner of lawyer Tan's lips curled into a cold smile.

“My colleagues are currently waiting in front of the prosecutor's gate.”

“You have an hour to think.”

Trieu Le Hoa stared at the agreement. It's like looking at a hot potato burning your hands. Her trembling hand reached out... But she didn't dare to hold it. One hour. That's the ultimatum. It is also the final sentencing session for them. I sat on the sofa, raised the glass of cooled milk and took a small sip. Quietly look at the fear, greed and despair intertwining on the faces of the mother and daughter. I won the first round.
