Chapter 4 — From a 16 Million Yuan Villa to a Secret Buried for Ten Years

Updated 10/08/2026 5 min read

In the past three years, he's been so good at acting. He never publicly asked for the villa. He only sighs frequently at night. Say the company lacks capital. Say you're old. Say your sister is getting married. Say I clearly have the ability to help but always keep my distance like an outsider. He once asked me:

"Duong Vy, we are husband and wife, can you please stop guarding me like you guard against a thief?"

Now, the answer is right on the tea table. It's not that I'm being overly cautious. But they already wanted to break the lock and get in. I spoke up:

“Captain Ma, take a clear photo of that file.”

He nodded.

“It's been taken.”

Khau My Lan's eyes were red with impatience.

“What did you take?”

“Who let you take the picture?”

“Duong Vy, immediately tell them to get out!”

I calmly said:

“Mom, you just said that this house will eventually belong to your son.”

“Now in front of the camera, say it again.”

Khau My Lan gritted her teeth.

“I didn't say.”

I opened the recording. Immediately, her own voice rang out from the living room speakers.

"I'm his mother-in-law, won't this house be my son's in the future?"

The whole living room fell silent. The four men looked at each other. No one dared to open their lips. Khau My Lan's face immediately turned pale. Her lips trembled.

“I... I was just talking nonsense.”

I continued to play another recording.

“If you sell this house, your dowry will definitely be enough.”

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

This time, even Captain Ma's expression darkened. Khau My Lan's back stiffened. Finally she was really panicked.

“Duong Vy, I didn't mean that.”

“Don't make a big deal out of things at home.”

"Your parents are no longer there, I just want to think about your future."

I looked at her through the screen.

“Don't mention my parents.”

Khau My Lan paused. My voice is not loud. But every word is sharp and cold.

“You don't deserve it.”

That sentence just ended. Khau My Lan felt like someone had slapped her in the face in the crowd. Her face turned from white to red.

“Are you talking to your elders like that?”

“My son married you because he found you pitiful!”

“Don't think that having a house is terrible!”

I'm not sad or arguing. I just ask:

“Captain Ma, how long will it take for the people from the police station to arrive?”

Captain Ma looked out the door.

“On my way.”

Khau My Lan was completely confused.

“Did you really call the police?”

“I am your mother-in-law!”

“Do you dare call the police to arrest me?”

I calmly replied:

“I am reporting for illegal home invasion, arbitrarily breaking into personal property and showing signs of property appropriation.”

“And who are you…”

“Go to the police station and continue talking.”

Khau My Lan's legs were soft. She had to hold on to the shoe cabinet to steady herself. Right at that moment. My phone suddenly rang. Three words appeared on the screen. Tong Thua Trach. I received the call and turned on speakerphone. Tong Thua Trach's voice rang out, carrying suppressed anger.

“Duong Vy, are you crazy?”

“That's my mother!”

“You asked security to block her again?”

I asked directly:

“You signed the valuation trust certificate?”

The other end of the line was silent for a moment.

“I told them to leave first.”

I calmly said:

“Answer me.”

Tong Thua Trach's voice lowered.

“I just want to find out the market price school.”

I laughed.

“If you want to find out the market price, take the opportunity to take someone to my house while I'm on a business trip?”

Tong Thua Trach lost patience:

“We are husband and wife!”

“Isn't what's mine also mine?”

“What's the problem with your mother coming to take a look?”

“Moreover, Nha Ky is about to get married. I'm your sister-in-law, isn't it the right thing to do to help a little?"

In the living room, Khau My Lan seemed to have grabbed a lifeline and immediately shouted:

“Thua Trach, tell him quickly!”

“He wants to take mom to the police station!”

Tong Thua Trach's voice became even tougher.

“Duong Vy, withdraw immediately.”

“Don't do things to the point where there's no way back.”

I looked at the file on the coffee table through the surveillance screen.

“Tong Thua Trach.”

“The moment I gave her the key…”

“You yourself have cut off all escape routes.”

The other end of the line fell silent again. Khau My Lan suddenly raised her head. Only then did she remember the most important thing. I slowly asked:

“That spare key... you gave it to her, right?”

Tong Thua Trach did not answer. But that silence... Was the clearest answer. Right at that moment. Outside the villa, police sirens sounded. From far to near. Khau My Lan's face immediately turned pale. She hugged the phone tightly, continuously backing away. The man in charge of valuation suddenly spoke up:

“Miss Tang, we were contacted by Mr. Tong.”

"The key is also Mr. Tong said that his family members agreed to use it."

“We have all the text messages saved.”

Tong Thua Trach immediately roared into the phone:

“Shut up!”

Looking at that scene on the screen, my eyes completely turned cold. By this moment, the last bit of affection left in that three-year marriage had completely disappeared. The very next second. The police car stopped in front of the villa gate. The car door opens. Two policemen got down. Captain Ma immediately stepped forward.

“Comrades, the owner has reported the incident.”

“The scene, witnesses and evidence are all preserved intact.”

The two policemen nodded. Then step straight into the villa.
