Chapter 5 — Debt Note

Without waiting for me to explain, Van Phuong suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Dao Dao's hair, and pulled hard.

“This bitch!”

“You killed my mother and me!”

“Why did you say that?! Why did you tell her?!”

“Don't you want to live happily?!”

Dao Dao struggled, her clear eyes filled with terror:

“Not you!”

“Mom! Not me!”

"I didn't say it! Aaah! I really didn't say it!"

Seeing that the situation was out of control, everyone panicked and quickly separated the two people. At this moment, everyone understood one thing—Dao Dao was not mentally retarded. She's just pretending. After being separated, Dao Dao angrily sprayed a ball of saliva at me.

“Why are you slandering me?!”

“I never said anything to you!”

“You are intentionally dividing!”

I felt funny and coughed lightly:

“It's true that she never told me directly.”

“But she said it indirectly.”

After speaking, I approached, reached into her pocket, and pulled out a pair of jade earrings.

“This, is something she secretly stole from my house, right?”

I laughed, my finger gently turning the emerald stone on my earring. Then turned to explain to everyone:

“On the surface, this looks like just a normal piece of jewelry.”

“But inside, there is a hidden recording device.”

“I asked someone to make it specifically.”

Hearing me say that, Van Phuong tried to regulate his breathing, his eyes trembling:

“You… you have plans for me?”

“What are your plans?”

“You're thinking too much.”

“This thing, I originally made for my own use.”

My work is too stressful, sometimes my memory is not good, I easily forget many important things. So I prepared this equipment, just in case it's needed. I just didn't expect it to work in this situation.

“You stole my earrings, then gave them to Dao Dao.”

"Everything after that became clear from here."

After discovering my earrings were missing, I immediately turned on the locator. The signal appeared in a strange village. I continued to turn on the device, and the voice came out from the other end. It's Van Phuong's voice.

“I just calculated, the total amount I borrowed from Ngo Le Le is over one million yuan.”

"That much? We don't have the money to pay it back!"

Van Phuong was angry:

“Buying a car, buying a house, doesn't mean there's no place to spend money?”

“How can you call it a lot?!”

“I tell you, I don't want to continue living in this poor village anymore!”

Afterwards, Dao Dao hesitantly asked:

“Mom, but I live in this village, everyone in the village helps me.”

“If they suddenly move away, what if they find it strange?”

After that statement, there was a silence that lasted nearly a minute.

“This is it, I'll pretend to be dead.”

“After I was buried, you and your father kept leaving the village under the pretext of mourning.”

I cannot describe the feeling when listening to this recording. It was as if a sharp knife stabbed straight into my heart. After that, someone grabbed the handle of the knife tightly and dug deeper into the wound again. I didn't want to believe that the friend I trusted the most—would betray me like that. After she returned to my house, I asked her to write a loan note. After signing, I also asked her husband to be the guarantor. Van Phuong didn't want to, but to gain my trust, she still had to do it. Then, when I went on a business trip, she Start your plan. She knows I have too many things and my memory is not good. So she blatantly took a lot of my jewelry. Before leaving, he conveniently stole cash from the safe. After finishing everything, I immediately received a call from Truong Tu Dong. Of course, I transferred money to them, but in a situation where I knew she wasn't dead. I understand that to force them to admit their guilt, just recording is not enough. So I asked someone to investigate Van Phuong's whereabouts. Finally, in a lavishly decorated apartment, I found her cleaning the house. Her first reaction was to want to meet me to apologize. I refuse. After that, I brought the loan note to find Truong Tu Dong. Everyone has seen everything behind it. As for Dao Dao, he had a high fever, but it wasn't serious enough to affect his nerves. From that moment on, Van Phuong and Truong Tu Dong smelled an "opportunity". They discovered that this world always has special sympathy for the weak.

"Can you hear me saying that? Are you still human?"

Just like that, for many years, they have lived on the pity of those around them. When everything broke out, I could only sigh—as expected of a family, the essence is the same. The police also arrived, I quickly explained the situation clearly. The amount of stolen jewelry alone was up to 5 million yuan. Combined with the amount of money she borrowed from me, it was enough for her to go to jail for a long time. The people around me were also filled with anger and simultaneously testified for me. No matter how much Van Phuong begged, he was still taken away in the end. After everything ended, I heard that Truong Tu Dong and his daughter were kicked out of the house. Someone like him who has been lazy for half his life has no ability to survive on his own. In the end, he forced Dao Dao to go out to work to support himself. But a person like Dao Dao who has pretended to be naive for more than a decade does not have the skills or qualifications to find a job? As a result, two more beggars appeared on the street. I asked curiously:

“What happens after that?”

My friend laughed:

"I was kicked out. I don't know where to go."

After listening, I felt a bit emotional. But very quickly, I was able to let go. After this incident, I consider myself to have learned a valuable lesson. However, I still believe that good things will happen to good people. For those who are truly in difficulty, I am still ready to lend a helping hand. End
