Chapter 7 — The Day I Take It All Back

My father's eyes were completely cold.

“I said it right here today.”

“Not only those nine shophouses…”

“And all the money the Tran family took from my daughter all these years…”

“I will make you release it twice as much.”

“Get out.”

“Before I call security.”

My father's aura completely overwhelmed Tran Chinh Duc. His lips trembled, but he couldn't say a word. Vuong Lan still wanted to cause trouble, but as soon as my father glanced at her, she was so scared that she fell silent. In the end, the two of them were "invited" out by my father's secretary, looking extremely miserable. The office became quiet again. My father returned to his seat and picked up the phone.

"Hello, lawyer Truong? I'm Tu Ve Quoc."

“Plans changed a bit.”

“There is no need to negotiate with them anymore.”

“Directly follow criminal procedures.”

“I want him to go to jail.”

Dad's decision surprised me a bit.

“Do you really want to put him in jail?”

“What if not?”

My father put down the phone and looked at me, without a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

“Are you keeping it around to keep making me nauseous?”

“Nem Niem.”

“There are several types of people…”

“If we don't knock him down to the eighteenth level of hell…”

“For the rest of his life, he doesn't know what pain is.”

“At first, I thought I would just let him carry that debt…”

“It's enough to pay the price for your greed all your life.”

“But now I've changed my mind.”

My father's voice was cold and hard.

“Today they dared to come to my company.”

“Standing right in front of dad and insulting me.”

“Then this is no longer greed.”

“But that's stupid.”

“Dealing with this kind of person…”

“Can't leave any retreat.”

I got it. My father is using his way to get justice for me. He wanted the entire Tran family to know clearly... What would be the outcome of bullying Tu Ve Quoc's daughter. Lawyer Truong's working speed is extremely fast. That afternoon, the lawyer's letter and the audit report were sent to Tran Hao at the fastest speed. Almost at the same time... The court's asset preservation order also officially took effect. All bank cards and securities accounts in Tran Hao's name were frozen. I didn't need to think about it... The Tran family's phone was definitely blowing up at this moment. Sure enough, in the evening, I received a phone call from lawyer Truong.

“Miss Tu, Tran Hao has contacted me.”

“No, to be more precise…”

“It's all three family members taking turns calling.”

“There is crying, there is cursing, there is also begging.”

Lawyer Truong's voice was still extremely calm.

“He wants to meet you once.”

“If there is something very important, you must say it directly.”

“No see.”

I refused straight away.

“He mentioned something.”

Lawyer Truong continued.

“He said he had an item in his hand…”

“It could make you lose your reputation.”

I paused for a second. Body failure and fame? Between me and Tran Hao, besides that failed marriage... Is there anything else?

“Did he say what it was?”

“On purpose, I just kept it a secret, I guess I wanted to scare you.”

“This is their last struggle.”

Lawyer Truong calmly analyzed.

“In my opinion, we still shouldn't meet.”

"Unnecessary."

“Let's just follow the legal process.”

I was silent for a few seconds. Then changed his mind again.

“Lawyer Truong.”

“Help me arrange a time and place.”

“Because I want to see try…”

“It's at the end of the line, what else can a dog do?”

I'm also really curious. In the end, what makes Tran Hao feel... It could become the card that turns his situation around. The meeting location was arranged at lawyer Truong's office. The time was three o'clock the next afternoon. When I arrived, three members of the Tran family were already waiting. It's only been a day since we last saw each other... But it was like their spirit was drained from them. Tran Chinh Duc's back is clearly hunched, his hair has turned a lot of gray. Vuong Lan's eyes were red and swollen, her whole body looked like a resentful woman. The most miserable person is Tran Hao. He was still wearing yesterday's clothes, wrinkled to the point of being hard to see. Jagged whiskers, eyes full of blood and unconcealed panic. As soon as he saw me enter, his body immediately trembled reflexively. I don't sit down. Just stand opposite them, get straight to the point.

“What is your card?”

Tran Hao did not answer immediately. He glanced at lawyer Truong next to him, then looked back at me, his throat rising and falling continuously.

“Everyone must agree first…”

“If I just show that, everyone will withdraw the lawsuit!”

“We don't need the shophouse anymore…”

“Not even a penny!”

“We also returned the extra money we took!”

“Just please everyone… don't sue me…”

His voice was hoarse, almost pleading.

“You have no right to dictate conditions.”
