Chapter 8 — After the Divorce, Please Get Out of My House

It's a video call. On the other side of the screen is a middle-aged man wearing a police uniform, his face is stern and cold. The police number on his chest was clearly visible.

"Your actions constitute the crime of illegal home invasion and disturbing the peace."

“We have determined your identity information.”

“Right now, immediately stop the illegal act!”

The police voice came through the speakerphone. But it carried a pressure that sent chills down people's spines. The smile on the bald man's face immediately stiffened. He wouldn't have thought in his dreams... I would "welcome" him this way. The two accomplices behind him also stood frozen. At that moment, police sirens rang out in the distance. Closer and closer. It's becoming more and more clear.

“The police… the police are really here!”

A hoodlum's voice trembled. The bald man's face turned white. He glared at me fiercely then turned around and tried to run away.

"Stand still! Don't move!"

Several uniformed police rushed up the stairs, black riot gear pointed straight at them. Two apartment security guards also took the opportunity to rush forward and pin the other three men down. From the moment I opened the door… The outcome of this drama was predetermined. I hung up the video call. When I contacted lawyer Vuong earlier, he gave me the WeChat of a friend who works in the police station. After I asked for help, the police officer told me to use a video call to psychologically intimidate the debt collectors and buy time for the police to arrive. Obviously… This is extremely effective. Police quickly controlled the scene and handcuffed all three people. And I, as the person reporting the crime, had to go to the station to take a statement. I changed my coat and locked the door carefully. When I went downstairs, I saw many neighbors standing in front of the lobby watching the excitement. The eyes they looked at me were no longer the same as before, waiting for gossip. But with a little more caution and sympathy. The police car turned on its lights and sirens and left. This is not over yet. I took out my phone and opened the residents group. While everyone was still talking about the horrifying scene just now... I released the second batch of evidence. These are photos of Tran Hao's transfer history. Every payment goes from my account to his account. There are several thousand yuan. There are tens of thousands of yuan. The total exceeded 600,000 yuan. I attach a short paragraph:

“Thank you for everyone's attention and the apartment management board.”

“The three people who just came to cause trouble were because of my ex-husband's personal gambling debt, Mr. Tran Hao.”

“In the past two years, I have paid debts on his behalf many times with a total amount exceeding 600,000 yuan.”

"I'm sorry that my personal matter has affected and frightened everyone."

“From today onwards, all of his actions no longer have anything to do with me.”

If the previous loan note only made the neighbors see Truong Lan's face clearly... Then this time... I directly peeled off the last layer of Tran Hao's skin. I want everyone to see clearly. That whole family... What kind of people are they? The light in the police station was cold and white. Looking up, everyone's face was pale without any color left. I finished my testimony and walked out. The bald head, named Luu Tam, was handcuffed with two accomplices on a bench in the hallway. Fit Seeing me, his eyes immediately turned red.

“Bitch!”

He screamed at me.

"Don't you dare play with me! Just wait! This isn't over yet!"

The police next to him immediately shouted loudly:

“Sit still!”

I walked in front of him, looking down from above.

“I repeat one last time.”

“Tran Hao and I are divorced.”

“I won't pay a penny of his debt.”

“Don't dream!”

Liu Tam gritted his teeth.

"Father owes his son, husband owes his wife! That's the rule!"

“Are you telling me the rules?”

I laughed.

“Then I tell you the law.”

“According to Article 1064 of the Civil Code, debts in the name of one spouse that exceed the family's daily needs during the marriage will not be considered joint debts.”

“Gambling debt is exactly that type.”

"If you guys are not convinced, you can sue Tran Hao."

“Or find his guardian…”

“That means Mrs. Truong Lan.”

I deliberately emphasize the three words "guardian". Liu Tam was stunned. Obviously he didn't expect a woman like me to understand the law so well. Even the policeman standing next to me looked at me with somewhat surprised eyes.

“Don't… don't scare me!”

Luu Tam was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

"Whether I'm scaring you or not, just find a lawyer and ask him to find out."

Having finished speaking, I turned around and left. I'm not interested in wasting words on this type of person. My goal has been achieved. Let them understand that I won't get any money from them. Guide the fire to where it should burn. It's Tran Hao and Truong Lan. As soon as I stepped out of the police station gate, my phone rang. It was the call I had anticipated. Tran Hao's uncle.
