Chapter 16 — Once I don't hold back, your whole family has to pay the price

She pointed straight at him and screamed.

"That's right! You're the one who seduced my sister-in-law and destroyed my brother's family!" Chu Dong stood next to him and shouted, his voice high and shrill.

The two of them thought that if they just rioted and blamed Luc Trach and me, they could pull Chu Minh out of this quagmire. Their stupidity and brazenness… are exposed without concealment. I looked at those two distorted faces, heard every dirty curse, the anger in my heart suddenly flared up like never before. I propped myself up and tried to sit up. Luc Trach immediately turned back to look at me, his eyes reassuring, as if to say "let me handle it". He did not argue another word. Just calmly take the phone, press the emergency bell next to the bed, then make a call.

"Captain Giang? I'm Luc Trach."

"At the hospital, there were two people causing trouble and attacking my client... yes, it was Chu Minh's mother and sister."

“Please send someone to handle it.”

His voice was very calm, but carried pressure that made it impossible for others to refuse. In less than five minutes, two uniformed police officers appeared at the door. The cursing immediately stopped, as if he was strangled mid-sentence. Mother-in-law and Chu Dong saw the police uniform and their faces turned pale.

"It's not us! It's that woman! She harmed my son!" She still tried to argue.

"Let's talk about something about the station."

The police voice was cold and decisive. Two people were controlled. Her mother-in-law fell on the floor screaming and crying, while Chu Dong was shaking like a leaf, unable to say a word. The whole hospital room... was chaos. In the midst of that scene, I slowly propped myself up against the headboard of the bed. I looked at them. Clearly see the panic and cruelty on their faces. Then I said.

"I'm not just suing Chu Minh for intentionally causing injury."

“I also sue you… for defamation and obstruction of justice.”

“What the Chu family owes me…”

“I will get it back little by little, both capital and interest.”

“See you… in court.”

As soon as the words ended—the whole room fell into dead silence. Mother-in-law stopped screaming. Chu Dong stopped shaking. They looked at me… like they saw something that didn't belong to this world. As if I was someone who had just crawled out of hell and came back to collect my debt. Those words… were like the final verdict, sealing the fate of the entire Chu family. Their desperate eyes as they were dragged away... are imprinted in my memory, but in my heart there is no longer any pity. Poor people... are often also hateful. Their outcome today... is the price they have to pay for what they sowed. The noise at the hospital spread very quickly. The Chu family... became the laughing stock of the whole neighborhood. One person was arrested for assault. Two people were taken away for causing trouble in a public place. An ending... "full of members" to the point of irony. In the days that followed, I rested in peace. Luc Trach hired the best caregiver, and Giang Dao brought me my favorite food almost every day. The small hospital room... became the warmest place. Completely opposite to the situation of the Chu family. Chu Minh was detained for intentionally causing injury. His life... from now on, there was an indelible stain. Mother-in-law and Chu Dong were detained for fifteen days for causing trouble. When they came back... they were as old as decades. There is no more money. Again facing huge compensation. They started selling off valuable things. Then… think about the house. But very quickly, they realized a desperate truth. The house documents... are in my name and Chu Minh's. The deposit is from my house. Without my signature… they couldn't touch a penny. The road was finally… blocked. They… really have no way out. So… they started a new round of harassment. Not daring to come to me anymore, they turned to... my parents. They stood downstairs, cried, told stories of suffering, and acted to the point of making people tired. Saying Chu Minh is the only son, the only hope, begged my parents to advise me to withdraw the lawsuit. But my parents… are not the type of people to be soft-hearted. They immediately called the police. Several times like that, their tears... were only replaced by the disdainful eyes of their neighbors and the cold warnings of the police. Unable to force it, they changed to another method. They came to Giang Dao and cried and repented as if they were real. I said before that they were wrong, that they were blind and didn't realize how good I was. They are ready to kneel down and apologize... just hope I give Chu Minh a way to live. But Giang Dao only said one sentence.

"Now I realize I was wrong? It's too late."

All roads are blocked. They just remembered... the last "salvage". Chu Dong's boyfriend. The person who gave her the bracelet... was actually stolen. Chu Dong cried and called for help. I hope he still has some feelings, helps her, and helps her brother. The other end of the line... was silent for a long time. Then just say one sentence.

“What happened between us… was just a game, do you really think?”

Then… hung up. Block all contact. Hope finally... also shattered. The "princess" who was once so pampered that she thought the whole world revolved around her... finally tasted the feeling of being slapped in the face by reality. She collapsed, destroying everything in the house. As for her mother-in-law... looking at her family being torn apart, looking at her spoiled daughter, she finally couldn't bear it... she fell ill. A family that was once stubborn and calculated every detail... in just half a month, collapsed into ruins. that's just the beginning.
