Chapter 15 — Being Slagged by My Husband for Salty Soup, I Made My Husband's Whole Family Pay

I stood behind, quietly watching the recording from before and after seven o'clock at night unfold. Exactly seven o'clock and six minutes. A woman wearing a baseball cap entered the lobby. She was wearing a light-colored coat, and her figure was almost identical to mine. He bowed his head the whole way, holding a document bag in his hand. Seven hours and eight minutes. She stopped in front of the self-service machine. Then he took out a citizen ID card from his pocket. When the image is enlarged, the photo on the ID card is blurred but the outlines can still be recognized. Those are my documents. My mother's breathing became slightly heavier. My father said nothing. He just stared at the screen, as if he wanted to pull the woman straight out of the video. During the operation, she never raised her head. After printing the document, she took the file and turned to leave. Just in time to get to the door. A black car stopped on the side of the road. The car window is lowered halfway. She put the file into the car. Attorney Tham immediately requested to rewind that exact frame. The image is further enlarged. The license plate number can only be dialed in the last four digits. But just one look... I realized. That is the car Han Duc Hai often drives. My father laughed coldly.

"Just now you said you didn't know anything."

The staff on duty continued to open the outside camera. The woman stepped into the passenger seat. Right before the car left, she took off her hat and smoothed her hair. Half of the face is exposed. I stared at that face, my eyebrows slowly tightening. Not Lam Van. Nor is it Ma Phuong Cam. Han Xiao Dong. Han Tranh's cousin. During the wedding, she always walked next to Ma Phuong Cam to receive congratulatory money from guests. She is a little shorter than me. But wearing thick-soled shoes makes your figure almost no different. Suddenly I remembered something. Right on the wedding day... Han Hieu Dong once dragged me to take many photos. She even picked up my citizen ID card to look at it, smiled and said she wanted to learn how to take a photo of my ID card because she thought my photo was beautiful. I just think this cousin is clever. Unexpectedly... Every time I proactively approach, I carry a purpose. The police immediately backed up all camera footage as evidence. Attorney Tham immediately sent the license plate information and time of appearance to the real estate registration department. Ten twenty-six. There are only four minutes left until the time the other man just mentioned. Call after call continued to be made. Finally, the lending unit can also connect with the person in charge of risk control. Lawyer Tham immediately sent them the police receipt of the case, all fake documents and important images cut from the camera recording my impersonation to look up the records. I stood in the hallway, quietly listening to his calm but powerful words.

"If, while knowing clearly that the file is in dispute, your side still continues to disburse funds..."

"For any losses that arise thereafter, your unit will bear the corresponding legal responsibility."

The other end of the line was silent for a long time. Exactly ten twenty-nine. They finally spoke up.

"The disbursement process will be temporarily frozen."

My mother gently closed her eyes. Dad put his hand on my shoulder.

"Stopped it."

I still don't breathe a sigh of relief. Because I know... Stopping the flow of money is only the first step. People that's still there. Those fake documents are still there. And that fake property abandonment declaration... Still on file. Right at that moment. The policeman's phone rings. After listening to the call, he turned to look at us.

"Han Xiao Dong found."

"She is sitting in the car under the Han family's apartment complex."

"Other than her in the car..."

"There's also Han Duc Hai."

I was just about to speak up. The policeman's next words made the atmosphere thicken once again.

"In their car..."

"We detected a handheld printer."

"And a stack of blank power of attorney papers."

When we returned to the Han family's apartment building. The police car's lights continued to flash. Han Duc Hai's black car is still parked right next to the door. The car door was open. Han Hieu Dong sat in the passenger seat, tears streaming down his face. Han Duc Hai stood next to the car, constantly explaining that he was just taking his niece home. But the handheld printer, ink cartridges and document bag in the back seat... Tore up his entire excuse. The police took out each item one by one. One more item is placed down at a time. Han Duc Hai's face turned a little grayer. Han Hieu Dong cried and looked at me.

"Sister-in-law..."

"I really didn't mean it."

I stood in front of her.

"Don't call me sister-in-law."

Han Xiao Dong's tears flowed more intensely.

"I really don't know what they're planning to do."

"Uncle Hai just asked me to help supplement a set of documents."

"Uncle said that you and Mr. Tranh are family."

"Uncle also said that sooner or later you would have to sign, so do it in advance to avoid the hassle."

I looked at her.

"So you took my ID."

"Impersonate me to look up records."

"Do you think that will help ease your troubles?"

Han Hieu Dong bowed his head. Don't dare look at me anymore. Han Duc Hai interrupted in a deep voice.

"Khuong Hoa."

"Don't scare children."

I turned to look at him.
