Chapter 7 — I tore up a 1.8 billion contract, my boss went crazy right at the celebration party

This man is a true demon. What he wants is not submission. It's destruction. Destroy self-esteem. Destroy honor. Destroyed my entire life. Leave me alone and ruined. Completely empty-handed. I was shaking so much that I couldn't say a complete sentence. Tran Van Ly looked at my almost collapsed appearance. The corners of his lips curled up with satisfaction.

“Remember this carefully.”

“Ten o'clock tomorrow morning.”

“At the press conference scene.”

“I will wait for you.”

“Don't be late.”

He turned and left. Leaving me standing alone on the cold rooftop. The night wind blew. Cold to the heart. I don't know how I left the clubhouse. I don't know how I drove home. I opened the door. Throw yourself on the cold floor. Mind is empty. Despair is like a rising tide. Quickly engulfs all reason. What should I do? Looking for Mr. Ly's help? I can not. This is my personal story. I couldn't even pull Thinh Hoa into the water. Thien Vu Capital is too strong. So strong that Thinh Hoa cannot currently resist. I can't let General Ly know either. That I have such a fatal weakness. The position I just won will immediately shake. Report to the police? It's even more impossible. Tran Van Ly works in a terrifyingly discreet manner. Nominally. He is just a shareholder of the hospital. Every decision can be explained in four words:

“Business decisions.”

I don't have any proof. It's like being tied up by an invisible net. No matter how hard you struggle. Can't get out either. I trembled as I held the phone. Call Sacred Heart Hospital. I have to confirm Hua Duong's condition. The bell rang for a long time. Finally someone picked up the phone. Is my brother's primary physician. Doctor Truong.

“Hello, Doctor Truong.”

“I am Hua Tinh.”

“I want to ask about my brother's situation…”

I haven't finished speaking yet. The other end of the line was interrupted. The voice carried distance and impatience.

“Ah, Miss Hua.”

“Your brother's current condition is not very good.”

“The hospital just made an announcement.”

“Your family's treatment account has been recorded as undercharged.”

"If payment is not completed by twelve noon tomorrow."

“We can only follow the regulations.”

“Stop all treatment.”

“Including life support systems.”

My mind felt like it had been struck by lightning.

“No way!”

“Last week I just paid 500,000 yuan!”

“The account cannot run out of money that quickly!”

Doctor Truong sighed.

“This is a decision from the hospital side.”

“I also have no right to interfere.”

“One more thing…”

“Our department has just received notice.”

“Maintenance of the electrical system will be carried out tomorrow.”

“Your brother's intensive care unit may be…”

“Temporarily out of power.”

I jumped up from the floor. Whole body cold. They want to get out! They don't even want to wait until tomorrow noon!

“Doctor Truong!”

“Please help me!”

I almost burst into tears.

“My brother cannot lose his respiratory support machine!”

“It will die!”

The other end of the line was silent. There was a long, terrifying silence. A long time later. Doctor Truong lowered his voice. As if afraid of being heard by someone.

“Miss Hua…”

“There's something…”

“I think you should go to the hospital yourself immediately.”

“Miss Hua... sorry.”

“Actually I also... There is no other way.”

Doctor Truong hung up the phone. A long, cold sound rang out. I still hold the phone. Sit down on the floor. My whole body seemed to be drained of strength. Tran Van Ly. He calculated everything. Every move. Don't leave me any way out. He used the most cruel method. Forcing me to bow my head. Outside the window. The night was as black as ink. I didn't see any light. One side is self-esteem. It's a career. It's the future that I had to sacrifice countless years to have. On one side is Hua Duong. My only relative left in my life. How should I choose? Or rather... Do I still have a choice? I don't sleep. Sit on the floor until dawn. The next morning. I stood in front of the mirror. The woman in the mirror made me feel strange. Face pale. Lips no longer have any color left. His eyes were bloodshot from staying awake. After just one night. I feel like I've aged ten years. I quietly picked up the phone. Open contacts. The finger stopped on a name. A name that I once thought... I would never contact again for the rest of my life. I stared at the screen for a long time. Still calling. The phone only rings once. The other end of the line picked up the phone. A lazy female voice rang out. I tightened my grip on the phone. The voice was so dry that it was hard to hear.

“...Hua Tinh.”

The woman on the other side seemed to laugh.

“It's a distinguished guest.”

“The busiest person in the world finally remembers me?”

“Or have you finally thought it through?”

“Preparing to return and inherit your family's incredibly rich assets?”

I closed my eyes. Take a deep breath.
