Chapter 9 — That Night of Fire

Can you calm down? The aunt taking care of the patient in the next bed suddenly stood up: "Are you human?" Your daughter-in-law's leg is still broken!” Chu's mother turned to him: "What does it have to do with you?" I pressed the recording button: "Mrs. Chu, do you know that your son locked the door and locked me in?" She laughed coldly: "What if you lock the door? Isn't it because you often make fun of yourself? He's afraid you'll run out and lose face." "Do you know I'm cheating on you?" Her eyes avoided a bit: "Who knows if your virginity can be kept?" The thread of reason in my heart was severed. I grabbed the plastic bag containing the small socks on the nightstand and threw it straight at her face: "This is what I bought for your grandson. Take it home and ask him if he can keep it or not!" Chu's mother was thrown back a step, and the evidence bag fell to the ground. She bent down to clearly see what was inside, her lips moving. But the next second, she straightened her back again: "Who hired you and insisted on jumping off the building? The fire was not lit by Chu Nghien." A voice came from outside the door: "But the door was locked by him." Tan Chieu led the police in. Chu's mother's face changed: "What are you doing here?" The police officer held up his industry card: "Someone accused you of spreading information related to other people's privacy and false information. Please come with us to coordinate the investigation." Chu's mother immediately pointed at me: "It's her, it's her who harmed me!" I calmly looked at her: "It's not that I harmed you, it's because of your cheap mouth." When being taken away, Chu's mother was still screaming Chu Nghien's name in the hallway. But Chu Nghien did not come. He went to Hua Nhuy's house. Tan Chieu showed me a screenshot of the surveillance camera. Chu Nghien stood downstairs at Hua Nhuy's house, holding a stack of printed chat history in her hand. Ten minutes later, Hua Nhuy came downstairs, tears still on her face. Camera has no sound. But Tan Chieu asked someone to extract a camera with audio from a nearby store. In the recording, Chu Nghien's voice was suppressed very low: "Why did you use a virtual account to post those words?" Hua Nhuy sobbed: "I just feel resentful, they all scolded you, I want to help you." "The secretly recorded video was because I asked someone to cut it?" "It wasn't me, it was my aunt who sent it, I just forwarded it to my friends." "Why did you celebrate your birthday early?" Hua Nhuy was silent for a long time. Chu Nghien asked: "Say it." She suddenly hissed: "Because I'm afraid you will return to her! I've liked you for so many years, why do you want to live properly with her when she just had a relationship? She's just good at pretending to be gentle!” When the recording came here, there was a harsh slapping sound. Chu Nghien beat her. After listening, I didn't feel happy at all. Just feel nauseous. Tan Chieu said: "This recording has a legal origin and can be used as supporting evidence to prove that she has subjective malice." I nodded: "Keep it." That night Chu Nghien went to the hospital again. He stood outside the hospital room door, not daring to go in. There was blood on his hands, as if he had just broken something. "Te Hoa, you know what Hua Nhuy did." I looked at the medical record in my hand: "Yes." "You broke it off with her." "It has nothing to do with me." His throat was tight: "I will also tell my mother to publicly apologize." "No need, I will sue her." Chu Nghien clung to the door frame, his voice trembling violently: “Can I take a look at you?” I raised my head. The bottom of his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body seemed to be drained of strength. I took a look, then lowered my head again: "After looking, you can go." He stood there for a long time. Finally, he put down a bank card

the ground in front of the door.
