Chapter 7 — Rain Stops, Heaven Clears

Inside, the screams of Tran Hao and Luu Van were immediately heard. Along with To Nhu's fake crying. I never stopped walking. Get in Tieu Truong's car. Leave the scene. On the go. Lawyer Vuong called.

“General Manager To.”

“Caught red-handed both people and evidence.”

“In the warehouse, besides the three of them, there are also five suitcases of cash that we have prepared.”

“Tran Hao and Luu Van are suspected of kidnapping, extortion and staging a fake crime scene.”

“To Nhu is an accomplice.”

"Besides."

"The police also discovered on Luu Van's phone all the conversations between her and Tran Hao discussing this plan."

“Full evidence.”

“They cannot deny it.”

There was still no emotion on my face.

“It's been hard.”

“This is just the beginning.”

Lawyer Vuong continued to speak.

“General Manager To.”

“The investigation of the books you gave me has also yielded results.”

“In the past two years.”

“Luu Van and Tran Hao took advantage of an overseas front company.”

“Silently transferred nearly 30,000,000 yuan from the trust fund left by your father.”

“That is their real goal.”

“To Nhu's kidnapping... was just a front.”

“They want to use this incident to distract your attention.”

“At the same time, completely ruining her reputation before public opinion.”

“Thereby paving the way for the plan to appropriate all assets.”

My hand holding the phone slowly tightened. Turns out what they were aiming for. Not just half an asset. Everything belongs to me. Everything my parents left behind.

“Lawyer Vuong.”

My voice was cold as ice.

“I want them…”

“How much to swallow.”

“You have to release as much as you can.”

“And live the rest of my life... in prison.”

“As you wish, General Manager To.”

It's morning. I stayed up all night. But my mind was surprisingly alert. All three were criminally detained by the police on charges of kidnapping, extortion and fraud. Lawyer Vuong's team also stayed up all night to apply for asset preservation measures to the court. All accounts in the names of three people were blocked. The amount of 30,000,000 yuan transferred abroad was also traced and frozen by the International Criminal Police. The dream of getting rich that they cherished for half their lives... Vanished into thin air. After just one night. Public opinion also completely changed direction. I'm still a cold-blooded businesswoman who left her husband for her career. I became the perfect victim, harmed by my husband, sister, and stepmother. Major news sites simultaneously posted headlines that were even more sensational than each other.

"The great family was shocked! The husband colluded with his wife's brother to set a trap, plotting to harm his wife in order to appropriate a fortune of more than a hundred million yuan!"

"Cruel heart! Stepmother instigated her biological daughter, embezzled her husband's company, and secretly transferred the huge inheritance left by her father!"

Tran Hao's photo. All are covered with a dense layer of blurring. Everyone knows it's them. Three people were completely paralyzed. Became the laughing stock of the whole city. Tieu Truong put the latest newspaper on my desk.

“General Manager To.”

“It's over.”

His voice was filled with relief. I looked out the window. The sunlight was so bright it was blinding. I replied softly.

“It's not over yet.”

There are debts... I have to reclaim them myself. ________________________________________ Detention camp. I met Tran Hao. It's only been one night. He looked like he had aged ten years. Hair is messy. Deep sunken eye sockets. Jagged whiskers. No longer has the demeanor of the "talented young businessman" of yesteryear. Just saw me. His eyes immediately lit up with hope.

“Love Love!”

“I'm here!”

He rushed to the glass window to visit, his voice hoarse.

“You know I won't ignore you!”

“Love Love!”

“You are wrong!”

“You really know it's wrong!”

“It's all because of that bitch Luu Van!”

“She forced you!”

“And To Nhu!”

“She took the initiative to seduce you!”

“It was only because of temporary confusion that I made a mistake!”

“Can you forgive me?”

“Let's start from the beginning!”

“We remarried!”

He cried. Every sentence and every word seems to come from the bottom of my heart. If I hadn't witnessed his shameless face before. Even I will believe it. I just looked at him quietly. Don't say a word. Just calmly watch him act. He can't act anymore. The expression on his face went from pleading... to guilty... Finally turning into shyness and anger.

“What do you mean anyway?”

He slammed on the table.

“Are you determined to put me to death?”

“One day as husband and wife, a hundred days of gratitude!”

“Are you really that cruel?”
