Chapter 9 — My Cousin Used My House To Swindle 11,800,000 Yuan, But Didn't Know The House Was Cleared

“Come on, have a drink first.”

"If you're a family, talk slowly after eating something."

I don't touch the glass.

“You can eat rice.”

“But the words must be clearly stated first.”

Vuong Tu Lan put down the glass and looked at Tham Tu Hien. Tham Tu Hien bowed his head, his lips moving slightly.

“Nhuoc An... you're wrong.”

When he said that, Tham Tu Hien's hands twisted together under the table.

"I shouldn't have hidden the house book from you. I know I was wrong. But I really had no choice. There was a problem with my business and I needed a quick turnaround. At that time, I thought I would repay the loan immediately and it wouldn't affect you..."

“Do you think you will repay the loan?”

I interrupted him.

“You forged my identity, forged my signature, and defrauded me of borrowing 11,800,000 yuan.”

"I can't pay in three months' time."

“Debt collectors came to my door.”

“That's what you call 'doesn't affect me'?”

Tham Tu Hien fell silent. Vuong Tu Lan immediately intervened.

"Nhuoc An, Tu Hien already knows he's wrong. This time he's really confused, auntie doesn't defend him."

"But people haven't run away yet, and the money isn't completely spent. It's all invested in the project. If the project is successful..."

“Successful yet?”

Chu Man suddenly spoke up. Vuong Tu Lan glanced at her.

“The project is still in progress…”

“‘In progress’ means the money has been burned but the capital has not been recovered yet.”

Chu Man's voice was very calm. But every word is extremely precise. Vuong Tu Lan's face immediately became ugly.

“Why do outsiders interfere in our family matters?”

“I am a friend of Nhuoc An, and also work in the legal industry.”

Chu Man took out a piece of paper from his pocket, opened it and placed it on the table.

“Shen Tu Hien.”

"You used a fake power of attorney and a suspected fake ownership certificate to fraudulently borrow money, an amount of 11,800,000 yuan."

“I want some confirmation.”

“Who is Trieu Bang of Hang Thai Credit that introduced you?”

Trieu Bang. The moment this name appeared, Tham Tu Hien's face turned even whiter.

"What... what Trieu Bang? I don't know anyone named Trieu Bang."

“The person who received your loan application at Hang Thai Credit is Trieu Bang.”

Chu Man stared at him.

“The limit is 11,800,000 yuan, according to normal procedures, field inspection is required.”

“Bich Lan Dinh has been destroyed for a year, so how did that verification step pass?”

Tham Tu Hien picked up the glass of water and took a sip. Hands trembling visibly.

“That… that's their company's process, it has nothing to do with me…”

“Ten days ago you were still drinking at the clubhouse.”

I looked at him.

“Already spent 11,800,000 yuan in three months?”

“What do you invest in?”

“Invest… cryptocurrency…”

His voice became lower and lower. 11,800,000 yuan. Vuong Tu Lan slammed on the table.

“Okay okay!”

“What's the use of saying that anymore!”

“When it comes to money, the whole family thinks together!”

She turned to me.

"Nhuoc An, my aunt won't hide it from you anymore. I called you here today because I wanted to discuss a solution."

She reached into her pocket and pulled out a carefully folded piece of paper. Open it and push it in front of me. I bent down to look. It is a handwritten "agreement". Above it says:

"I, Tham Nhuoc An, voluntarily bear part of the responsibility for repaying Tham Tu Hien's loan at Hang Thai Credit, the amount of 3,000,000 yuan."

Below, leave the space for signature and signature blank date. After reading it, I didn't touch it.

“Nhuoc An.”

Vuong Tu Lan's voice softened.

“Three million is not much.”

"Think about it, how much compensation did you receive for the house in Bich Lan Dinh that year when it was cleared?"

“At least five or six million yuan, right?”

"Now that Tu Hien is in trouble, give him a helping hand. Auntie will be grateful to you for the rest of her life."

Three million yuan. She opened her mouth and spoke immediately. She did not know the exact amount of compensation I received. But she guessed about five or six million. If I say something incorrect, she will ask for the real number. If I'm right, she will feel that three million is just "a small half". No matter how you answer, it's a trap. I pushed the whole sheet of paper back.

“First, you have no obligation to repay the debt on behalf of Tham Tu Hien.”

"Second, your release compensation is your legal income, and has no legal relationship with Tham Tu Hien's loan scam."

“Third, this paper does not have any legal effect.”

I looked straight at her.

“I have already reported it to the police.”

The last four words just fell. The reactions of everyone at the table were different. The chopsticks in Tham Tu Hien's hand fell to the ground. Tham Quoc Luong unconsciously shrank back. As for the smile on Vuong Tu Lan's face... Disappeared completely. It was like someone had directly wiped it off her face.

“Have you called the police?”

“Damn, you called the police?!”

Tham Tu Hien suddenly stood up, the chair scraped hard against the floor, creating a deafening sound.

"Tham Nhuoc An, are you crazy?! That's your biological cousin!"

"What are you reporting?! You want to put me in jail, right?!"

“You are not my biological brother.”

"Aren't cousins related by blood?! Same grandfather, same bloodline! How dare you do something like that?"

"When you stole my documents, pretended to be me, and defrauded me of more than ten million yuan... you were quite decisive in your actions."

He choked. Vuong Tu Lan stood up. In just thirty short seconds, the expression on her face changed three times.
