Chapter 12 — The Bride Strikes Back: Exposing the Liar

Immediately afterwards, Ly Thuy Lan was also taken out from a nearby car. It turned out she was still hiding and waiting for the results. When she saw her son being handcuffed, she went crazy and cursed.

“Let my son go!”

“It's this bastard who harmed us!”

She pointed straight at me, her face distorted like a devil. But no one cares anymore. She was quickly controlled and taken to a police car. The siren rang out, dragging away a whole dark period of life. The factory returned to silence. Uncle Vuong walked over and patted my shoulder.

“Du Du, great job.”

“The recording device on my body recorded the entire conversation.”

"Trieu Khai personally admitted to falsifying the guarantee contract, Bao Ca also admitted to illegal detention."

“The evidence is complete, none of them can escape.”

I nodded, feeling all kinds of mixed emotions in my heart, as if I had just escaped from a deep abyss and was standing in front of a huge void. Returning to the inner city, I went with Uncle Vuong and Chu Duyet to the police station. As an accuser and an important witness, I had to record a detailed statement. I recounted everything, from the empty envelope at the wedding to the moment that turned the game around today, step by step without missing any detail. The person who recorded the testimony was a very gentle policewoman. Her eyes looked at me with both pity and admiration.

“Miss To, you have suffered a lot of wrongs.”

“But she is very brave and also very alert.”

“Don't worry, the law will not ignore any bad guys.”

When I walked out of the station, it was late at night, the city lights sparkled in the darkness like stars falling to the ground. I raised my head to look at the moon, feeling like I had just passed a lifetime. The nightmare finally ended. The following days, everything went more smoothly than I thought. Based on clues from Bao Ca, the police tracked down a loan sharking and violent debt collection ring that had existed for many years. Trieu Quoc Cuong was rescued. Trieu Khai and Ly Thuy Lan were detained for fraud and falsifying documents. And Trieu Quoc Cuong, even though he is a victim, is still legally responsible for participating in gambling. Their whole family... finally "reunited" in a place no one wanted to go to. The blockade order on the house was lifted, Uncle Vuong helped me complete the legal procedures. Because most of the deposit was mine and there were all the documents, the house was ruled to belong to me, I only needed to return the original 32,000 yuan to them. The car I brought as dowry was also recovered. The 388,000 yuan they tricked me cannot be recovered for the time being because they no longer have any assets, but it will forever be a debt hanging over their heads. As long as they have income, it will be deducted to pay me. I sold that house, used the money to pay off the loan, and the remainder was enough for me to start over. Everything seemed to be closed. I think my life is finally back to normal. Until three days later, Uncle Vuong called me.

“Du Du, there's something I think you should know.”

“What's going on, uncle?”

“While investigating Bao Ca's cash flow, the police discovered a very strange account.”

“This account transferred him 500,000 yuan, right before my wedding.”

“And the owner of that account… is also named To.”

My heart sank. Uncle Vuong's voice slowed down with each word.

“To Thanh.”

“My cousin.”

That name is like a sharp knife into the heart. Why her?
