Chapter 5 — Husband Went On Business Trip, Mother-in-law Locked Me Up To Steal The Dowry House

"No need to thank me."

"That's my job."

Lawyer Tan paused for a moment and then continued.

"Miss Tu, next you need to do a few things."

"First, ensure your own safety."

"Absolutely not going back to my husband's house again."

"You also shouldn't come to my private apartment."

"I guess very soon they will come."

"Second, preserve all evidence well."

"Recording."

"Screenshot of the message."

"Transfer history."

"Along with all records related to the police handling of the case."

"All of them will be our weapons if we have to go to court."

"From now on, don't meet Chu Minh Khai or anyone from the Chu family alone."

"If they call, you may not answer."

"If forced to answer."

"Just say one word."

"'Please work with my lawyer for everything.'"

"Leave the rest to me."

"I will be your strongest support."

I nodded vigorously. The corners of my eyes suddenly became hot. When I was most alone and helpless. The person who gave me the greatest strength was a female lawyer I had never met.

"Can you come to my office tomorrow morning at nine o'clock?"

"We will discuss directly and sign an authorization contract."

"I will then immediately launch the entire legal process."

"The first lawyer's letter will be sent as soon as tomorrow afternoon."

"One copy sent to Chu Minh Khai."

"A copy sent to Luu Ngoc Mai."

"I want them to understand that."

"The price to pay for bullying others."

"It's going to be a lot heavier than they imagine."

After hanging up. I stood in front of the ground-level glass door of the hotel. Outside are the bright lights of the city. It was as if a light had just been lit in my heart. Dispel all darkness and cold. Chu Minh Khai. Luu Ngoc Mai. Your pleasant days... are about to end. Because of this war. It's only just begun. 05. THE STORM Chu Minh Khai is about to go crazy. Until now, he had never been in such a dark situation like this. The plane just landed. His phone was blown up by a barrage of messages. In the corporate group. The message I sent with the recording received hundreds of responses. Although the administrator quickly disbanded the chat group. But people need to see. And even people who shouldn't see it. Have seen it all. Chu Minh Khai can almost imagine his colleagues talking behind his back. Discussing how cruel a mother he had. Talk about what a useless husband he is. This was immediately followed by a phone bombardment from relatives and friends. From aunts and uncles. To long-time acquaintances. Everyone was both surprised and blamed.

"Minh Khai, why did your mother do such a thing?"

"That's my wife! How can you force someone to that extent?"

"Is it a man to let his mother bully his wife like that?"

He kept explaining. Say this is just a misunderstanding. Saying that my mother was suddenly confused. Tell me that small things become big things. But no one believes it. Every sentence and every word in the recording is irrefutable evidence. It nailed both him and his mother to the pole of shame. He wants to call me. I want you to immediately stand up and correct me. Want me to apologize. But the phone call only rang coldly. Your subscriber is currently unreachable. He knows. I did blocked. WeChat messages sent. A red exclamation mark appears. The message was sent but the other party refused to receive it. He has had his friends removed. That realization caused an unreasonable anger to rise in Chu Minh Khai's heart. Where is she based? How dare you do that? He angrily rushed straight to the police station. The person he saw was an emaciated Liu Ngoc Mai, his eyes were red and swollen. Just saw my son. She immediately rushed to hug him and cried.

"Boy!"

"I'm finally home!"

"If you don't come back, I'm about to be killed by that bastard!"

"He called the police to arrest his mother!"

"It makes me lose face in front of the neighbors!"

Luu Ngoc Mai cried and cursed. From start to finish there was no regret at all. In his words there was only resentment towards me. Chu Minh Khai heard it until his mind was confused.

"Can you stop talking?"

"Is now the time to talk about those things?"

"Do you know that because of you, I'm about to lose my job?"

Luu Ngoc Mai's cries immediately choked.
