Chapter 12 — The Day I Stopped Fasting, They Lost Everything

After hearing those words, no anger appeared on Giang Than's face, he just smiled slightly, cold to the bone.

"Very good." He gently said two words, his tone was terrifyingly calm.

Immediately, the image of the transfer and the agreement on the screen disappeared, replaced by a pitch black screen. The lights in the hall also "clicked" and went out, the whole space was plunged into darkness and dead silence. Huge fear rose in the hearts of the three Liu Ngoc Mai people, they began to scream in panic in the darkness.

“Jiang Chen, what are you doing, what are you planning to do to us?”

But in that endless void, only Giang Than's last words echoed endlessly in their ears.

“Opportunity only comes once, you made the wrong choice.”

The darkness lasted for a full hour, but for Luu Ngoc Mai's family, it felt like a century. Fear is like an invisible hand strangling their necks, making every breath become heavy. They screamed, cursed, and banged on the door frantically, but there was no response. The whole hall was like a giant steel coffin, swallowing all their sounds. When the light turned back on, all three people fell to the ground, their spirits almost completely collapsed. The large door opened, and a group of people wearing black suits and sunglasses walked in with a cold aura. Leading the way was Giang Than's chief lawyer, a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with a gentle appearance but terrifyingly sharp eyes. He stood before them, looking down as if at those who had been condemned.

“You three, have you done enough acting?”

Luu Ngoc Mai seemed to have caught a lifeline and immediately rushed to hug his leg.

“I want to see my son, quickly take me to see Jiang Chen.”

The lawyer coldly pushed her away, took out three documents from the briefcase and threw them down in front of them.

“General Giang told me to convey the message, from now on, we will meet at the courthouse.”

The first sheet is a summons, the plaintiff is Giang Than, the defendants are Luu Ngoc Mai, Chu Hao and Chu Le. The reason for the lawsuit is slander, disturbing the peace and claiming compensation for mental damage, the compensation amount is one hundred million yuan. The second sheet is an application for asset freeze, all assets in their name have been frozen. Even though they are currently almost empty-handed, that means that any money they earn in the future will be used to pay off debt. They will have to carry this huge debt for the rest of their lives. The third sheet is like a social death sentence, it is an industry-wide death order signed by dozens of large corporations. The subjects are Chu Hao and Chu Le. Any company that signs will never hire these two people. The person who initiated that order was Giang Than, he used his entire network and resources to erase them from society. Don't give them any chance to get up. Luu Ngoc Mai trembled as she looked at the three pieces of paper in front of her, finally understanding everything. Giang Than wasn't joking with her, he was a demon coming out of hell to collect debts. She refused one million yuan of heaven and personally chose for herself and her children a one-way ticket to hell.

“No… no…” she screamed like a cornered wild animal.

Chu Hao and Chu Le were also completely dazed, looking at the death order with desperate eyes. Their lives are yet to come Just started, it was finished. They were dragged out by security guards like lifeless corpses and thrown straight onto the street in front of the company gate. The waiting reporters rushed forward like sharks smelling blood. Flashlights flashed continuously, questions fell continuously like knives.

"Mrs. Liu, is Mr. Jiang suing you for compensation of one hundred million yuan?"

“Mr. Chu, do you have anything to say about being banned from the entire industry?”

“Miss Chu Le, will you never find a job again?”

Each question was like a knife piercing deep into their hearts, causing them to panic and run away in humiliation. That day, the one hundred million yuan lawsuit once again exploded across the internet. Giang Than's cold iron tactics and the greedy stupidity of Liu Ngoc Mai's family create a clear contrast. No one feels sorry for them anymore. They become a joke to the whole society, a joke that they themselves create. Returning to the dark, damp room, this family finally completely collapsed. All the resentment that had accumulated for so long exploded in a moment.

“It's all because of you, because of an unreasonable old thing like you.” Chu Hao screamed, swung his fist and hit Luu Ngoc Mai straight in the face.

“If it weren't for your greed, we would have pawned a million.”

“What now, I have nothing left, I still have to bear a ton of debt, my whole life has been destroyed by you.”

Chu Le also went crazy, rushing to pull Luu Ngoc Mai's hair, fighting and screaming in despair.

“Give me back my future, give me back my job, I hate you, I hate you.”

Liu Ngoc Mai was beaten by her own son and daughter until she rolled on the ground, her hair disheveled, looking like a devil.
