Chapter 15 — One Card, Exposing the Whole Family

That reckless call didn't make me waver. I only did one thing right. Send the recording to the attorney. Enclose a line. 【The opponent shows signs of extremism, please pay attention to safety.】 Lawyer Truong replied immediately. 【Received, please pay attention to safety and avoid going alone.】 After my father and brother found out, the security system in the house was immediately raised to the highest level. Tu Lang even canceled the entire schedule for a week. Officially become my driver and bodyguard.
“You're overdoing it.”
I laughed as I sat next to him in the car. He didn't turn his head, his voice was cold.
“For crazy dogs, you must hold a stick.”
“But before he is beaten to death, if he dares to bite you, I will not let that happen.”
I was silent. I know you're really worried. Because a person with no way out… will do anything. The following days, everything was suddenly quiet. Public opinion gradually cooled down under the leadership of the PR team. Personal matters turned into legal topics, then into a social perspective on the "male phoenix". As for Ly Hao's family... Don't go online. Doesn't appear. Like it never existed. No one goes to the company or home to cause trouble anymore, but that very quietness is like an invisible layer of pressure, making people more suffocated than the storm. Friday afternoon, I finished my work, went down to the basement to prepare to go home, my brother's car was still parked in the familiar spot, like a safe anchor in the cold space. I had just stepped out of the elevator and before I could touch the car door, from behind the concrete column, a figure rushed out like crazy. He was so disheveled that he was unrecognizable, his hair matted, his beard scraggly, his eyes bloodshot like an animal cornered. In his hand... was a fruit knife that reflected the cold light.
“Nhuoc Nhien!”
He screamed and rushed straight towards me, as if he wanted to tear everything apart. I took a step back, but the distance was too close, the time was too short, all reactions became meaningless. Right at the moment the blade was about to touch me, a figure jumped out from the car as fast as lightning. It's Tu Lang. He never left the car. A precise kick to the wrist. The knife fell to the ground, making a harsh sound. Immediately followed by a neat shoulder swing. Ly Hao's body was thrown and hit the cement floor like a heavy sandbag. Before he could recover, my brother pinned him to the ground, his knees pressed against his back, his hands twisted backwards. The whole process… took less than three seconds. Ly Hao was pressed face down to the floor, unable to move, only screaming like a wild animal.
"Let go! Tu Lang! I'll kill you! I'll kill them all!"
"You guys ruined me! Ruined everything!"
My brother's eyes were cold and scary. He took the phone, dialed 110, and turned on speakerphone.
“Tu Thi Group parking lot, someone was attacking with a knife.”
"The subject has been controlled and is requested to be handled."
Hanging up the phone, he bent down to look at Ly Hao, his voice without any emotion.
“The one who destroyed you… was never us.”
“It's your own bottomless greed and stupidity.”
I stood there, my heart beating very fast, but not afraid. Because I know, this play... has come to an end. Ly Hao personally knocked the last nail into the coffin of his life. The police siren rang out, tearing through the quiet space of the basement. Cold number 8 handcuffs locked his wrists tightly. Two policemen pulled him to his feet. He no longer struggled. No more screaming. Only a living corpse remained, its eyes empty. As he passed me, he looked up. That look... so mixed it's hard to name. Resentment, unwillingness, regret... And the deepest... is despair. He knows, I'm done. Unsuccessful attack with a knife, combined with previous crimes. The law will not ignore it. My brother and I were invited to the station to give statements. Cameras in the basement recorded everything. From the moment he rushed out, until he was controlled. Clear, complete, indisputable. Lawyer Truong also arrived shortly after. He watched the video again, his eyes became serious.
