Chapter 4 — Thirty Million Yuan and One Slander

When I got home, it was midnight. As soon as the door opened, Chu Minh Vu was like an animal cornered, pacing restlessly in the living room. As soon as he saw me, he immediately rushed forward.

"Tinh Tinh, you're finally home! Why didn't I answer your phone call?"

"How's it going? The inspection team..."

His words stopped. My cold gaze choked him. Maybe he's never seen me like that. There is no anger. There is no grief. Just a dead cold. Like looking at a completely unfamiliar stranger.

“Chu Minh Vu.”

I spoke up, my voice calm and without any ripples.

“Let's get a divorce.”

He froze, seemingly not understanding what I just said.

“What…what did you say?”

“I said, let's get a divorce.”

I repeat. Then walked past him and went to the tea table in the living room. I took out paper and pen from my bag. Start writing. Divorce agreement form. Only then did Chu Minh Vu really react. His face was pale. He rushed forward and snatched the pen from my hand.

“I'm not getting a divorce!”

"Tinh Tinh, what's wrong with you? Did the inspection team tell you something?"

“Listen to my explanation, that 500,000 yuan, I really…”

I interrupted him. Raise your head and look straight into his eyes.

“Chu Minh Vu, at this point, do you still want to continue acting?”

“You already knew that document was fake, right?”

“You knew it was a trap aimed at me, right?”

“Not only did you not remind me, you also received 500,000 yuan, becoming the final nail that sealed me into that trap.”

“You even advised me to plead guilty, telling me to take responsibility.”

Every word I said was like a knife stabbing straight into his heart. Chu Minh Vu's face turned from pale to gray. Lips trembled, but couldn't say a word.

“Why… why…”

He finally managed to stammer a few words. His eyes were filled with fear and confusion.

“How do you know…”

"If you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it."

I looked at him coldly.

“I don't just know these things.”

“I even know who ordered you.”

“It's Vuong Kien Quoc, right?”

“My cousin – Chu Hoanh – shook hands with him.”

"One person wants a project, one person wants to get rid of me - a thorn in the side."

“So the two sides are compatible with each other.”

“Hence this perfect slander.”

Chu Minh Vu's whole body trembled violently. His eyes looked at me like he saw a ghost. His knees were weak. He knelt to the ground.

"Tinh Tinh! You're wrong! You're really wrong!"

He hugged my leg, sobbing.

"It's all because of Vuong Kien Quoc! He forced you!"

“He said that if you don't cooperate, Chu Hoanh's company will go bankrupt, and he also brought up the story of us receiving envelopes before!”

"I... I was just confused for a moment! I was so scared!"

"Tinh Tinh, please forgive me this time! We are husband and wife! I can't lose you!"

I bent down to look at the man crying at my feet. The husband I loved for five years. Right now I just feel extremely disgusted.

"Couple?"

I kicked him out. The voice was full of contempt.

“When I was in the ICU, I didn't know whether I lived or died…”

“What are you doing?”

"You're holding the dirty money your cousin gave you, calculating how you guys will divide the 30 million yuan of construction money after my collapse!"

“Chu Minh Vu, you are not human.”

He fell to the ground. Face as gray as ash. Can't even say a single word. I know, all my guesses... are correct. I don't look at him anymore. Turned into the bedroom and pulled out a suitcase. I don't want to stay another second.

“Jing Jing! Don't go!”

Chu Minh Vu crawled up and blocked the door.

“I can't go! I'm gone, what will you do?

“Vuong Kien Quoc will not forgive you!”

On his face was a look of despair mixed with madness.

“I tell you, don't think you've turned it over!”

“On Vuong Kien Quoc, there are still people backing you! I can't fight him!”

“If you dare to make a big deal out of it, he will make you die miserably!”

I stopped walking. Turn your head to look at him. I took out my phone from my pocket. Click to stop recording. Then, right in front of him, click send. Recipient: Ly Kien Quan. Chu Minh Vu looked at my movements. His whole body seemed to have turned to stone. The madness on his face immediately froze. Only extreme fear remained.

“You… you recorded it?”
