Chapter 7 — Husband Went On Business Trip, Mother-in-law Locked Me Up To Steal The Dowry House

06. LAWYER'S LETTER Nine o'clock the next morning. I showed up on time at lawyer Tan's law office. It is a law firm located in a Grade A office building in the heart of the city. The space is designed simply but luxuriously. Everywhere exudes professionalism. Lawyer Tan in real life is even sharper than his voice on the phone. The business suit is neatly cut and tailored. Sharp eyes. Strong temperament.

"Miss Tu, please sit down."

She personally poured me a glass of warm water. Don't beat around the bush socially. Get straight to the point.

"This is the authorization contract we have prepared."

"Let's see first."

"If there are no problems, you can sign."

I received the file. Carefully read each term. All content is clear. My rights. Responsibilities of lawyers. Everything is recorded in great detail. I hold the pen. Sign your name on the last page. I write those two words today more strongly than ever. It's like officially saying goodbye to the weak person of the past. Lawyer Tan withdrew the contract.

"From this moment on."

"I am officially your lawyer."

"All your legal matters will be handled by me."

She opened the computer. Displays a prepared text.

"Here are two lawyer letters that I stayed up all night to draft for you."

"One copy is sent to my husband, Chu Minh Khai."

"The main content is the official announcement that she has decided to sue for divorce."

"At the same time, ask him to know that before the court makes a final decision, any harassment, intimidation or intentional destruction of common property will be subject to legal liability."

"And the second version."

"It's for my mother-in-law, Luu Ngoc Mai."

The corner of lawyer Tan's lips curled slightly. But that smile was cold and scary.

"This lawyer's letter will be much stricter."

"We officially informed her that her behavior showed signs of violating the law regarding the illegal detention of people."

"We reserve all rights to request handling in accordance with the law."

"At the same time, request her to immediately stop all acts of slander, harassment and insulting her."

"Apologies must be sent in writing."

"If not."

"We will continue to carry out the necessary legal procedures and at the same time request compensation for mental damages."

I listened quietly. An unprecedented feeling of euphoria arose in my heart. Those words are exactly what I want to say. But I don't know how to express it. Attorney Tan used the most professional and powerful way to speak on my behalf.

"These two copies of the lawyer's letter will be sent by courier service today."

"If there are no surprises, they will receive it tomorrow."

"Since that time too."

"The war whistle will officially sound."

Lawyer Tan looked at me. His eyes were full of encouragement and support.

"From now on, there is a very high possibility that they will lose control."

"I can use all kinds of ways to contact you."

"Maybe you will cry and suffer."

"Can also threaten or intimidate."

"There's only one thing you need to do."

"Remember what I said yesterday."

"No see."

"No answer."

"No response."

"Leave everything to me."

"I will handle it."

I nodded seriously. Now I completely trust lawyer Tan. After leave the law office. I feel much more relieved. The rock that had weighed heavily on my heart for three years was finally lifted to a corner. The sunlight shines down. Warm and comfortable. I took out my phone. In just a few seconds. Dozens of missed calls. More than a hundred WeChat messages and phone messages immediately appeared. Most of them come from Chu Minh Khai. The rest are relatives of the Chu family. I didn't bother reading the content. Just calmly drag each phone number to the block list. I opened a social media account that I haven't used in a long time. Post a new article. The post has only one photo. That's the sign in front of the lawyer's office. Below is a brief status line:

"Professional work, leave it to a professional."

Don't mention anyone's name. Don't call anyone by name. But anyone who sees it will understand its meaning. Get everything done. I put the phone away. Take a taxi to the bank. I transferred all the savings in my account to a new card that I just opened. Then go to the network operator's transaction point. Perform procedures to block old phone numbers. Change to a completely new number. I want to cut off all ties with the past. Thoroughly clearly define the boundary with the Chu family.
