Chapter 9 — The Day I Take It All Back

“Miss Tu, sorry.”

“I'm at a loss.”

“The logic of this scum…”

“It has truly exceeded the limits of my professional awareness.”

I shook my head, saying it was okay. I picked up the stack of test papers in my hand. Tear each sheet into shreds. Right in front of them, I threw it all in the trash.

“Tran Hao, listen clearly.”

"The first."

“Who you have children with is your own business.”

“I don't care at all.”

“I even have to thank you…”

“For making me see clearly…”

“What kind of trash have I lived with these past three years.”

“You think you can threaten me with this thing?”

“I thought I would be jealous…”

"Because I'm not willing..."

“Which compromises with you?”

“You are wrong.”

“You and that woman…”

“In my eyes, it's no different from this pile of trash.”

I picked up my bag, preparing to leave.

“I'll let you know.”

“Starting now…”

“My conditions have changed.”

I walked to the door, stopped, turned to look at them.

“I don't just want you to leave empty-handed…”

“Not only do I want you to release all the illegal money…”

“But I still want you to go to jail.”

“Even…”

“I still want you and that woman outside…”

"The body is ruined and the name is ruined."

Having finished speaking, I pulled the door open and walked out without looking back. Behind him, Vuong Lan's crazy curse sounded. Tran Chinh Duc's angry scream. But those sounds... No longer made a ripple in my heart. When I got back to the car, I called my dad's secretary.

“Please help me investigate someone.”

“I want all her information.”

“The more detail the better.”

“Yes, Miss Tu.”

Half an hour later. A detailed personal profile has been sent to my email. Lam Lam, twenty-six years old. Comes from a normal family. Graduated from a third-rate university. A year ago, I joined a company managed by Tran Hao as an administrative assistant. The file also includes a few photos. One photo is her daily life photo. Pure face, smiling with two dimples. The other photo... It's a photo of her with a middle-aged man. That man hugged her waist in a very intimate position. The owner of a construction materials company in the west of the city, his family name is Liu, is famous for his lust. The background is in front of a hotel. I looked at the photo, the corners of my lips slowly curled up. Tran Hao thought he had found true love. Find a pure girl who can give birth to your heir. But he doesn't know... I'm just a fish in someone else's pond. Maybe it's not even qualified to be a spare tire. A big drama… It's about to begin. I sent Lam Lam's entire profile to several local tabloid sites that are most interested in hunting for drama. The email subject is:

"Horrifying! The general manager of a famous chain store is being played with in the palm of his hand by a 'pure' female subordinate. Is he about to become a father or is he cheating?"

In the email content, I only attached two things. One is Lam Lam's pregnancy test form. Names and important information, I did not hide them. Second is her intimate photo with General Manager Liu. I do not add any subjective comments. I am simply stating the truth. Just leave it to netizens to imagine and ferment themselves. Having finished everything, I called lawyer Truong.

“Lawyer Truong.”

“Criminal prosecution documents can be filed.”

“Also, help me send Tran Hao a divorce agreement."

“I don't need anything.”

“As long as he leaves empty-handed.”

"I get it."

Lawyer Truong's voice carried a very faint smile.

“This trick of yours is called pulling firewood from the bottom of the pot…”

“Then cut off the way back.”

“He likes to play, right?”

“I played with him to the end.”

In the internet age… No secret lasts long. Besides, this is a city that is neither big nor small. The next morning, the anonymous email I sent… began to spread like crazy on local forums and chat groups. Each article's title is more sensational than the last.

“Exposing the city's most miserable cuckolded general manager and his 'treasure' girlfriend.”

“The epic history of a third-rate mining girl: whose baby is she in the womb?”

Initially it was just a small-scale discussion. But very quickly someone dug up Tran Hao's identity. Address of nine shophouses. Even Tran Dinh's school. Public opinion completely exploded. The tenants of the nine shophouses immediately stopped sitting still. Initially, tenants chose to sign contracts there because they believed in the stability and reputation of the store chain. Now the general manager is involved in this kind of scandal... Their business is immediately affected. In just one night, the company receptionist's phone almost blew up.
