Chapter 8 — After My Roommate Robbed My Dad
He was calm as if he was just solving an extremely trivial matter. Lam Dao immediately grabbed a few bags, pulled Trieu Le Hoa and Lam Vy and ran out. They had to go to the nearest consignment store to exchange all their vanity for cash. I looked at the struggling backs of the three of them, feeling strangely calm. From this moment on, the things they were most proud of will be crushed by their own hands. An hour later, my phone vibrated. It's a balance notification message from the bank.
“Your xxxx account at xx:xx day x month x received a transfer of 100,000 yuan.”
The first repayment… finally arrived. That amount of money was exchanged for the Hermes Birkin that Lam Vy liked the most and a Cartier bracelet she once cherished like a treasure. I wonder if she was so heartbroken that she cried when she sold them? Lawyer Tan stood up and nodded slightly at me.
“Miss Hua, the first step is going very smoothly.”
“This is the signed return agreement, please keep it carefully.”
“My team will continue to monitor the next payments.”
“If there are any problems, please contact us at any time.”
His voice was still steady and professional as before. After seeing lawyer Tan leave, I sat alone in the large, empty living room. Afternoon light passed through the glass window, covering the ground with a cold, pale yellow light. I looked at the text message informing me of money being deposited into my account, but I didn't feel as happy as I imagined. Because I know very well… this is just the beginning of a long battle. At that moment, the phone vibrated again. It's an MMS message from an unknown number. In the photo is Lam Vy. She was standing on the rooftop of a high-rise building, the wind blowing her messy hair, her bloodshot eyes staring at the camera. Those eyes were filled with madness and resentment. Below the photo is a text.
“Hua Giai, you ruined everything for me.”
“If you force me anymore, I will jump down from here.”
“I want to turn you into a murderer.”
“I want you to live in a nightmare all your life.”
Looking at the photo and that threatening text message, my first reaction was not fear... but amusement. Use suicide to threaten me? Lam Vy, Lam Vy, you are still the same as four years ago. Naive... but also extremely stupid. Do you really think I'm still Hua Giai and just need a few tears from you to soften my heart? I didn't answer her. Which directly forwarded that photo to the two of you. The first person is Trieu Le Hoa. The second person is lawyer Tan. The message sent to Trieu Le Hoa had only four words:
“Take good care of your daughter.”
The email sent to lawyer Tan was even more concise.
"Lawyer Tan, the other party shows signs of using suicide as a threat to avoid responsibility for repaying the debt. Please evaluate the legal impact of this behavior on the debt collection process in the future, and provide professional suggestions."
After finishing everything, I turned off the phone and went upstairs to take a nap. I guess Trieu Le Hoa must have gone crazy at this point. And Lam Vy... is probably still standing on the rooftop facing the wind, waiting for me to call in panic and beg her not to do anything foolish. Unfortunately, I disappointed her again. I slept straight until four o'clock in the afternoon. When awake Woke up, the sunlight outside the window was both beautiful and gentle. Turning on the phone, dozens of missed calls filled the screen, all from Trieu Le Hoa and Lam Dao. Wechat is also spammed with long voice clips. From cursing... To panic... Then finally it turned into begging.
"Hua Giai! You damn thing! If anything happens to my daughter, I won't forgive you even if I become a ghost!"
"Auntie! I beg you! Answer the phone quickly! My sister is really about to jump!"
"Hua Giai, consider me begging you... please call my sister! Now she doesn't listen to anyone, just waiting for one sentence from you!"
I'm too lazy to listen to it all. Headache-inducing noise. So he directly blacked both of them. Then, I saw the email that lawyer Tan sent half an hour ago. The content is extremely concise, professional and effective.
"Hello. Regarding Ms. Lam Vy's use of suicide as a threat, our side gives the following opinion:
