Chapter 2 — From a 16 Million Yuan Villa to a Secret Buried for Ten Years

I slowly pressed the save video button. Then open the phone book. I called a number I hadn't heard from in a long time. On the other end of the line, a man's voice rang out.

“Duong Vy?”

I looked at the master bedroom door that had just been pushed open on the surveillance screen.

“Lawyer Ha.”

“I want to report the incident.”

“And also want to prepare for divorce proceedings.”

Lawyer Ha Tri Chu did not ask anything more.

“Send the surveillance cameras to me first.”

"Door unlock history, red book photos, documents proving pre-marital assets, send them all here."

I bowed my head to work. Each document file is sent in turn. The lights in the airport lounge are very bright. My face was reflected on the phone screen, calm and cold. Very quickly, Ha Tri Chu answered.

"The villa is in her name, the time of ownership was before marriage, the origin of inheritance is also very clear."

"They arbitrarily invaded private homes, brought people to appraise prices, and rummaged through personal belongings."

“Qualified to report to the police.”

“I want them to go to the station.”

Ha Tri Chu replied:

“Don't talk to Tong Thua Trach for now.”

“Just let the other person talk more and do more.”

“The more complete the evidence, the more neatly it will be handled later.”

I quietly replied: I used to think that in marriage there are things that can be slowly negotiated. Money is negotiable. Housing is negotiable. Even boundaries are negotiable. But people don't want to negotiate. People just wanted to take advantage of my absence to take the things my parents left me to disassemble, evaluate, package, and then give them to Tong Nha Ky as a dowry. In the surveillance screen, Khau My Lan entered the dressing room. She opened the wardrobe and took out one of my coats.

“This is beautiful, Nha Ky will definitely wear it.”

The man standing next to him reminded:

“Auntie, we are only in charge of real estate valuation, personal items are not within the scope of assessment.”

Khau My Lan glared at him.

"I know."

“I'm just watching.”

The mouth speaks and looks. But her hand had already taken down the hanger. Then he picked up a bag again.

“This brand is very expensive, isn't it?”

The other man did not answer. Khau My Lan put the bag back in its original position and muttered in a low voice:

“You really know how to enjoy.”

"You've been married into our family for three years, and you still haven't given birth."

“The money won't come out either.”

"Knowing that, I wouldn't have let my son marry her."

Hearing this, I sent Tong Thua Trach a message. Your mother is at my villa. This time, he answered very quickly. Tong Thua Trach: Mom just came over to take a look, don't overdo it. I looked at that line, my eyes without any waves. I texted back: Who gave her the key? The other side was silent for a while. Then answer. Tong Thua Trach: The spare key is still at home. Maybe your mother picked it up by mistake. I laughed. Got it wrong? He took the wrong key and brought four people to appraise the villa. He took the wrong key and ransacked my bedroom and dressing room. He took the wrong key and prepared to sell the house to pay for his sister's wedding. I will not answer further. I took a screenshot of those two messages and sent them to Ha Tri Chu. Very quickly, he replied with one word. In the surveillance camera, Khau My Lan received a call again. This time she turned on speakerphone. Tong Nha Ky's voice rang out clearly.

“Mom, tell me They do it quickly. My husband's family is urging me to see the dowry list."

Khau My Lan laughed so much that she couldn't close her mouth.

“What's the hurry?”

"When your sister-in-law comes home, everything will come true."

“He is a child without a father or mother, who else can he mess with?”

My fingertips stopped. No father or mother. Those four words are like a dull knife. Slowly scratch the old wound. The year my parents met, I was only twenty-one years old. I alone took care of the funeral. I take care of this house alone. I returned from school alone to the company, taking care of the small business my father left behind. Tong Thua Trach appeared at that exact moment. He said he was heartbroken for me. He said he would always be by my side from now on. He said... I won't be lonely anymore. Only later did I understand. There are people who say they want to be with you, not because they want to be your support. It's about waiting until you're tired, letting down your guard, and then reaching out to take away what belongs to you. The phone vibrated again. Captain Ma sent the location. Miss Tang, we'll be there in ten minutes. I replied: Don't go into the house yet, block all the exits first. Captain Ma: Understood. I continued to monitor the surveillance cameras. The valuation man started taking pictures. Living room. Terrace. Every corner of the villa is recorded. Khau My Lan stood next to him and continuously directed.

“Is this garden also included in the area?”

“Does underground parking count?”

“Can the money to renovate the interior be added?”

The appraiser replied:

“If sold urgently, the market price could range from 15,000,000 yuan to 17,000,000 yuan.”

Khau My Lan's eyes immediately lit up.

“Then let's calculate 16,000,000 yuan.”

“It's just beautiful to sell.”

“The deposit to buy a wedding house for Nha Ky is 3,000,000 yuan.”

“Buying a car costs 1,000,000 yuan.”

“The wedding banquet and bride price cost 1,000,000 yuan.”

“The remaining money is for Thua Trach to do business.”

The valuation man asked:

“Does the owner of the house agree to sell?”

Khau My Lan's face immediately darkened.

“My son agrees.”

“He has taken my son, is there anything else that is not my son's?”

“Besides, on weekdays he just acts noble.”

“Don't you just want us to bow our heads and beg for it?”

“This time, just do it first and then consider.”

“What can it do to us?”

I saved this entire recording. At that moment, Ha Tri Chu's phone rang again.

“I heard it all.”

“You can call the police now.”

“Preparing now.”

“One more thing.”

“Help me prepare a divorce petition.”

Ha Tri Chu was silent for half a second.

“Division of assets?”

"Whoever owns property before marriage keeps it."

“Joint accounts after marriage must be clearly checked.”

"The money Song Thua Trach has taken from me over the past three years, list each item."

“If there is an act of transferring assets, pursue it to the end.”
