Chapter 19 — The Day You Pulled Your Lover On Stage, I Recovered All My Investment
Co Trach saw that person. His face was extremely unsightly.
“Did General Manh send you here?”
The other person said nothing. Lam Man suddenly spoke up.
“It was you who contacted General Manh.”
Co Trach was angry.
"I do not have."
Lam Man took out her phone.
“Last night I texted General Manh.”
“Say that Thanh Hoa is empty tonight.”
“The documents are all in the East warehouse.”
Co Trach rushed forward.
“Are you following me?”
“You used my phone to send too many things before.”
“The account is not logged out yet.”
Co Man clapped his hands.
"Excellent."
The reporters were frantically taking photos. Before being taken by the police to take a statement. Co Trach turned his head to look at me one last time. There was no more love in those eyes. No more hatred. Only struggle and resentment remain.
“Khuong Le.”
“You will regret it sooner or later.”
I smiled.
“Get in line.”
“There are enough regrets already.”
After Co Trach was investigated. Trieu Tue Lan comes to Thanh Hoa building every day to cause trouble. First day of crying. Day two of cursing. On the third day, they also brought along the Co family's relatives to pull the banner. On the banner was written a line of blinding red letters: Ex-wife forced ex-husband to death, heaven and earth will not tolerate it. Co Man stood by the window upstairs. Looked down and laughed angrily.
“She really has no shame.”
Chu Du asked:
“Do we need security to disperse them?”
I shook my head. Lam Man looked downstairs, her face not very pleasant.
“She will make more and more of it.”
I calmly replied:
“Let her do it.”
At noon, Trieu Tue Lan sat right in front of the building and started telling stories. She told me how hard Co Trach had been since childhood. Said his father passed away early. She said she had a hard time raising her children alone. It is said that Co Trach is what he is today entirely thanks to the blessings of his ancestors. The crowd of people watching gradually increased. There was an aunt who felt compassion.
“After all, you can't force people to the point of going to the police station, right?”
Trieu Tue Lan immediately grabbed her hand.
“That's right!”
“My son just made a mistake that any man can make.”
“And yet Khuong Le wants to ruin his whole life.”
Co Man was so angry that he wanted to rush down. I stopped her.
“It's not time yet.”
Three o'clock in the afternoon. A car stopped in front of the door. From the car stepped down a woman dressed simply, holding a boy in her hand. As soon as she saw that woman, Trieu Tue Lan's face immediately changed. The woman walked straight in front of her.
“Trieu Tue Lan.”
“Do you remember me?”
Trieu Tue Lan took a step back.
“What are you doing here?”
The woman took out an old photo.
“Your son, when he was in college, drove a car and injured my husband.”
“That day she knelt in the hospital and begged us not to call the police.”
“She said she would definitely compensate.”
“Then you moved house.”
“Change phone number.”
“Disappear forever.”
“Now you dare to say that you are raising your children alone?”
“So my husband has been bedridden for the past ten years, who will take care of him?”
The whole crowd immediately fell silent. Trieu Tue Lan shouted:
“You lie!”
The woman threw a stack of medical records on the ground.
“That year, her son drove a car belonging to Co's relatives.”
“So that he doesn't have a criminal record, you guys gave me 30,000 yuan and forced him to sign a settlement.”
“30,000 yuan?”
“My husband's medical expenses are not enough for a year.”
The boy standing next to him tightened his mother's skirt. I walked out of the building. As soon as Trieu Tue Lan saw me, it was like seeing a life-saving straw.
“Khuong Le!”
“You were the one who came looking for them, right?”
“You intentionally hurt me!”
"Not me."
The woman turned to look at me.
“I came on my own.”
“I saw her go online and cry about her suffering.”
“I can't stand it anymore.”
Co Man lowered his voice:
“It's true that you do it yourself.”
At this time, reporters also arrived. Even if Trieu Tue Lan wanted to avoid it, he couldn't avoid it anymore. Woman looking straight into the camera.
"This is not the first time Co Trach has used tears to avoid responsibility."
“Ten years ago he caused an accident.”
“Trieu Tue Lan said he was still young and couldn't ruin his future.”
“Ten years later, he ruined other people's companies, ruined his wife's reputation.”
“It's still the same set of reasons.”
The aunt just immediately let go of Trieu Tue Lan's hand.
“If this is true, it's very unethical.”
Trieu Tue Lan sat down on the ground, her lips trembling.
“My son didn't mean it.”
The woman coldly replied:
“But she never said a word of apology.”
At that moment, the boy suddenly spoke:
“My dad can't walk anymore.”
One sentence was like a nail driven straight into Trieu Tue Lan's body. I walked in front of the woman.
“If you need legal assistance, Thanh Hoa can help you contact a lawyer.”
The woman looked at me, tears falling.
“I don't need your money.”
“I just want them to admit it.”
I nodded.
“They will have to admit it.”
Trieu Tue Lan suddenly stood up and rushed straight towards me.
“It's all because of you!”
“If it weren't for you, no one would bring back these old stories!”
Lam Man rushed from the side to block in front of me. Trieu Tue Lan's nails scratched her neck. Lam Man was in so much pain that she took a deep breath but still did not back down.
