Chapter 26 — Mother-in-law Tests Daughter-in-law's Heart
"Mom has been invited by the police to give a statement." "Mom's blood pressure is very high right now." "Are you satisfied?" Tran Nghien's eyes were cold: "Ninh Uyen just showed signs of threatening miscarriage." The other end of the line was silent. Tran Nguyet's breathing was disordered. "How could..." Tran Nghien interrupted her. "You guys have said enough of these sentences." "Starting from now on, anyone in the house who contacts Ninh Uyen, or comes to the hospital to cause trouble, I will leave it to the lawyer to handle." Tran Nguyet's voice trembled: "Tran Nghien, do you really not need this family anymore?" Tran Nghien looked at the emergency exit door at the end of the hallway. There was still the sound of Ton Que Phan's crying there just now. He said very quietly: "I've been married for a long time." "It's just that you guys always refuse to admit it." He hung up. The next second, the phone received a strange text message. The content is only one photo. In the photo is the gate of the apartment complex where Ninh Uyen and Tran Nghien live. Below the photo is a line of text: *If you don't let us see him, we will go to his house and wait.* 18 Tran Nghien stared at that photo, his eyes gradually darkening. The photo was not taken very far. The nameplate of the apartment gate, the security booth, and the dwarf cinnamon tree along the road are all clearly visible. The photographer was obviously standing across the street. He immediately forwarded the photo to the lawyer and the head of the building's management board. At the same time, immediately call the apartment security booth. "I am Tran Nghien, owner of the apartment on the 3rd floor, unit 2." "Starting now, anyone claiming to be my mother, my sister, or the people they bring with them, are absolutely not allowed to enter my house." "If there are people gathering and loitering in the lobby, please call the police for help." The security guard realized the seriousness of the incident and quickly accepted. "Mr. Tran, please stay still." "We will go on patrol immediately." Tran Nghien hung up the phone and called the locksmith again. "Can the lock be changed today?" The other end asked for the address and identification documents. After he finished speaking, he added another sentence: "The faster the better." In the hospital room, Ninh Uyen slept very lightly. The medicine made her mentally drowsy, but her eyebrows were still tightly furrowed. Ninh Uyen's mother sat on the edge of the bed, gently holding her hand. Tran Nghien did not come in to bother. He stood at the end of the hallway, handling each task one by one. Police reception record. Warning letter from lawyer. No-contact order. Building access control system. Back up security cameras in the home. After completing each task, the guilt in his heart became heavier. If he had done these things a little earlier, would Ninh Uyen still be here? At four o'clock in the afternoon, the police called. During the testimony, Ton Que Phan insisted that the dumplings were eaten by Ninh Uyen herself. She admitted to adding chives, but justified it as just "cooking habit". She did not admit that she intentionally hid it. Not even admitting that it was an intentional act of exploration. After listening, Tran Nghien sneered. "I recorded the call." The police said over the phone: "She insisted that it was something she said in anger." "In addition, she claimed that your wife knew from the beginning that there were chives inside, but still deliberately ate it all, to slander her." Tran Nghien's hand holding the phone suddenly tightened. "Did she really say that?" "Yes." "Because So, your wife's testimony will be very important later." Tran Nghien looked into the hospital room. Ninh Uyen's face was pale, she was receiving fluids, and even turning over needed help. He closed his eyes. "Waiting for her health to allow, we will cooperate." After hanging up the phone, Tran Nghien stood blankly in the hallway for a long time. It's not that he didn't know that Ton Que Phan would take the blame.
