Chapter 5 — Selling the Shop for Two Million Yuan, I Made Them Go Bankrupt

09 Verdict The days pass little by little. The situation of Vuong Duc Phat's family is getting worse and worse. The class action lawsuit for poisoning left them in a mess. To collect the first compensation, they were forced to sell all valuable things in the house. Vuong Thien's designer handbags, jewelry, and even a new sports car bought less than a year ago. All were posted on used items sites and sold off at dirt cheap prices. But that, compared to the huge compensation, is still just a drop in the bucket. Their only hope is the old house my parents left behind. Nice location, market price is nearly 300 thousand yuan. Just sell it, at least you can hold out for a while. But just when they found a broker and prepared to sell... A court summons and a decision to freeze their assets directly crushed all hope. Because of my lawsuit, the house was frozen. Before the case ends, they have no right to handle it. That was the final push. The day the trial opened, I met Vuong Duc Phat and Vuong Thien again. The two of them were skinny and had empty eyes. There was no longer any trace of the smug look he had when robbing my shop the other day. In the courtroom, lawyer Truong clearly presented each point and each piece of evidence. The transfer contract was signed when I was under age, at an unusually low price. I sent them old transfer records. Each piece of evidence is like a heavy hammer blow. Lawyers on their side, faced with clear evidence, were almost unable to refute. We can only repeat empty words such as "family love", "keeping", "care costs". Vuong Duc Phat even lost control right in court. He pointed straight at me, screaming that I was ungrateful and intent on revenge. He told me how he "raised" me. Cursed me for eating porridge. The judge warned him many times, but he still did not stop. Finally, the defendant was pulled out of the defendant's position by judicial police. Looking at that appearance... There weren't any ripples in my heart. I just calmly looked at the judge. Waiting for a verdict… It's been ten years late. The results are not surprising. The court pronounced the verdict on the spot. Because the contract was signed when I was under age and had a transfer price much lower than the market, it was determined to be an unfair transaction. Contract is void. Vuong Duc Phat's family must move within 30 days and coordinate to transfer the name to me. The remaining amount is 28 thousand 7 thousand yuan. The court also accepted all requests. Force them to return the entire principal, along with bank loan interest from the time of appropriation until now. The moment the hammer hits. I saw Vuong Thien limp on the chair. As for Vuong Duc Phat's eyes... Completely extinguished. Only ashes remain. They're done. It's really done. Stepping out of the court gate, the sunlight was just beautiful. Lawyer Truong smiled: "Congratulations. Justice may come late, but it will never be absent." I shook my head, smiling slightly.

“This is not justice.”

I turned my head to look back at the courthouse behind me.

“It's just the beginning.”

“I want, never just a house… or a sum of money.”

“I want them to pay.”

“Pay the heaviest price for all they have done.”

My phone vibrated. I answered the phone. On the other end of the line was a man's voice, hastily trying to please:

“May I ask if this is Miss Tham Nguyet? Are not?"

“I am the head of the walking street management board, my family name is Ly.”

“It's like this... the restaurant 'Nguyet Ban Loan' is currently vacant."

“We wanted to ask you…”

“Would you be interested in… taking it back?”
