Chapter 12 — Breaker Reveals the Truth

“If you want to collect debt, follow the official path.” “If you kick in the door again, it's not a civil matter.” Outside fell silent for a moment. Someone lowered their voice and said a sentence. Then the sound of footsteps gradually faded away. The security guard still didn't open the door. It wasn't until the director of the management board brought someone over and confirmed that the hallway was empty that everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The director of the management board looked at Duong Nhan. “Miss Duong, I advise you to leave immediately tonight.” “We will increase patrols of this floor.” Duong Nhan nodded. “Sorry to bother you.” She hugged her papers and file bag tightly in her arms, as if hugging her last support. Before going out the door, she turned to look at this house one more time. In the living room are curtains that she chose herself. Outside the balcony is a small onion cluster planted by Trinh Trinh. On the wall there is still a photo of the family of three. Thieu Canh Xuyen in the smiling photo looks very dignified and kind. But looking back now, I just find it ridiculous and ironic. Duong Nhan went over and took down that photo. You don't break it. Just open the back of the photo frame, pull out the photo. Then tear it in half. Half are me and Trinh Trinh. Half are Thieu Canh Xuyen. She put half a photo of herself in her bag. Thieu Canh Xuyen's half was thrown straight into the trash. "Let's go." she said. That night, my room was packed with people. The only bed was given to Duong Nhan and Trinh Trinh. I spread out my mattress to sleep in the living room. The aunt did not feel secure, so she also stayed with us overnight. Phuong Boi Tran stood outside the door for a long time. In her hand she carried a bag of children's clothes. She wanted to go in, but didn't dare. Duong Nhan finally opened the door. “Mom, put your clothes down.” Phuong Boi Tran's eyes turned red as she put the bag inside. “Nhan Nhan, tomorrow I will go with you to meet the lawyer.” Duong Nhan looked at her. “Mom, I don't need you to make decisions for me.” Phuong Boi Tran's lips trembled. “I know.” "This time I'm just going with you, I won't advise you to hold back anymore." Duong Nhan did not say a word of forgiveness. But she let Phuong Boi Tran come into the house to drink a sip of water. That was the biggest concession I could give her. Early the next morning, we went to the lawyer's office first. After reviewing the documents, the lawyer's face became more and more serious. He said the issues of basement equipment, electricity theft, guarantee contracts, dispersal of common assets, adultery and debt must all be separated to synthesize evidence. Most importantly, Duong Nhan must prove that those guarantees and loans are not his true wishes. I handed over all audio recordings, videos, books, school childcare notices and signature comparisons to the lawyer. “These are very helpful,” the lawyer said. “Especially when the other party uses school papers to entice them to sign.” Duong Nhan sat on a chair, his back stretched very straight. “I want a divorce.” “I want custody of Trinh Trinh.” “And I also want to investigate all the money.” The lawyer nodded. "Maybe." “But Thieu Canh Xuyen will not easily agree.” Duong Nhan replied: "I know." “The more he doesn't want me to investigate, the more I have to investigate to the end.” Just stepping out of the lawyer's office, Duong Nhan received a strange call. She turned on the speakerphone. The caller was the long-haired woman last night. Her voice no longer had any arrogance, only panic remained. “Duong Nhan, I want to talk to you.” Duong Nhan asked: "What are you talking about?" The woman replied: "I was also deceived by Thieu Canh Xuyen." “He said he was divorced.” “He said the house was his.” “He said he gives her money every month, just out of respect for the child.” Duong Nhan listened silently. “And then what?” The woman cried and said: "I have already spent part of the money he gave me." “I can pay the rest.” “But don't sue me.” Duong Nhan did not immediately respond. I know you feel uncomfortable in your heart. But this time, she was not controlled by her emotions. She just said: "Please send the entire transfer history to my lawyer." “The story between you and him, also write it down clearly.” “As for whether or not you will sue, it's not because you lied about it

I can decide.” The woman jumped up. “But I still have a baby in my belly!” Duong Nhan closed his eyes. When she opened her eyes, her eyes were cold. “That's between you and him.” “My child was almost dragged into debt by him.” The other end of the line was silent. Duong Nhan hung up the phone. As soon as she put down the phone, the lawyer's assistant chased her out. “Miss Duong, I just received the news.” "Thieu Canh Xuyen's party has hired someone and is preparing to go to court this afternoon to ask for an order prohibiting you from taking the child out of the city." “The reason is that she was emotionally unstable and moved the child away on her own initiative.” Duong Nhan's hand tightened. Before I could speak, her phone rang again. This time, it was a message from Thieu Canh Xuyen. There's only one sentence. “You thought you won?” “Trinh Trinh, I will definitely take it back.” 13 I gave that message to the lawyer. The lawyer just glanced over, his face changed. “Don't answer too quickly.”
