Doing many unjust things will surely lead to self-destruction. This is a crime he deserves. 9After Lam Tri Ngon was arrested, his parents had to go to the company every day to coordinate with the police to investigate. Because I still had wounds on my face, plus Lam Thien's matter at school hadn't been resolved yet, so I stayed home to rest. That afternoon, it was raining heavily outside. After I finished showering, as soon as I stepped out of the bathroom, my whole body immediately stiffened. Lam Tri Ngon was sitting on the sofa, holding a bloody dagger in his hand. "Good girl, are you surprised?" My heart rate immediately jumped into my throat. Wasn't he caught by the police? Why here! Instinctively, I backed away, intending to run into the bedroom to get the phone to call the police. He saw through my intentions, took a few steps forward and pinned me down on the sofa. "Running what?" His breathing was rapid, carrying a strong smell of alcohol. "Because the evidence is insufficient, the police can only release me to await investigation." "The two old men locked all my cards, and the security guards also kicked me out of the company." "If you don't give me a way to live, then everyone will die!" He pointed his nose. I quickly took heart medicine for him to take. The cold feeling made my whole body tremble. "Lam Tri Ngon, calm down. Killing someone must pay for your life!" He sneered. "Who said I want to kill you?" He threw down the knife and started tearing my nightgown. I desperately struggled, using both my hands and feet to kick and beat him. "You're crazy! Let me go!" He held my hands tightly, his eyes bloodshot. "Actually, I've already thought it through." "That year your family adopted me, wasn't it because they wanted me to be your adopted husband since childhood?" "The two old men have always been wary of me, refusing to hand over the company to me." "If only today you and I can make it come true, I will become a son-in-law of the Hua family, who can still kick me out?" Hearing those extremely disgusting words, my stomach churned. "You're dreaming! Even if I die, I won't let you touch me!" He slapped me in the face. "This is not your turn to decide!" "Since you were a child, you have always been on top. Today I will let you taste the feeling of falling into the mud!" He roughly tore off my collar, his face filled with disgust. stop approaching. I know that if I fight hard, I am absolutely no match for him. Fear and despair forced me to force myself to calm down. I stopped struggling. Tears slid down the corners of my eyes, I pretended to accept my fate. "Dude, don't do that, it hurts me." Lam Tri Ngon's movements stopped. He raised his head to look at my tearful face and laughed complacently. "Wouldn't it have been better to be obedient like this from early on?" "Du Ninh, as long as you obediently listen, I will treat you well in the future." "Once we get married, the Hua family property will still be ours." He relaxed his vigilance, and the strength in his hands also decreased a bit. This is the moment! I felt the knife he had just thrown next to the sofa. Without any hesitation, I grabbed the handle of the knife and stabbed him hard in the shoulder. "Ah!" Lam Tri Ngon screamed in anger, hugged his shoulder and rolled away from me. Fresh blood immediately stained his white shirt red. I rolled and crawled down from the sofa, picked up the flower vase on the tea table and hit him on the head again. Lam Tri Ngon was hit so much that his head was bleeding and he fell to the ground. I didn't dare stop at all, running barefoot towards the main door. Just as I unlocked the door, I ran straight into a warm embrace. "Du Ninh!" It's my father. My mother walked behind, saw my clothes were in disarray and quickly cried loudly. "My daughter! Are you okay?" I hugged my father tightly, pointing to Lam Tri Ngon who was still moaning in the living room. "Dad, he's trying to force me." My father shouted.

immediately took off his coat and wrapped it around me. Two policemen followed behind his parents and quickly rushed inside, pinning Lam Tri Ngon to the ground. "Lie still! Don't move!" 10 Lam Tri Ngon's head was full of blood but still screaming frantically. "Hua Du Ninh, you bitch! How dare you play tricks on me!" "I'm your brother! How dare you stab me with a knife!" The police directly handcuffed him and pulled him up from the ground. "Is it your brother?" No, go back to the station and talk!” It turned out that while checking the books at the company, his parents discovered that Lam Tri Ngon had secretly embezzled a sum of money to gamble. The amount of money was so large, the police immediately approved the arrest warrant. My parents were worried about my safety so they specially brought the police home to take a look. They didn't expect to see this scene. Looking at Lam Tri Ngon being escorted away, my tense nerves finally broke, and my whole body went limp in my mother's arms. A few months later, the court's verdict was announced. Lam Tri Ngon committed the crime of appropriating property at work, the crime of embezzlement of capital and the crime of rape, many crimes were punished at the same time. The judge sentenced him right in court, sentencing him to fifteen years in prison and forcing him to repay all economic damages to the Hua family. On the day of sentencing, I also came. Lam Tri Ngon looked at me, only fear and despair remained in his eyes.
