Chapter 6 — Trust is not for others to take advantage of

Updated 10/08/2026 5 min read

I stood behind the fire door. Fingertips cold to the point of numbness. They took over my house. Change my locks. Using the results of my renovation to brag about online. He also intended to use a photo of my ID card to fake a power of attorney. Trick tenants into signing a year-long lease. Then sell my assets. I heard Co Man laugh.

"Today I posted Tieu Hong Thu, many people complimented me on my good fortune. Her taste in home renovation is also good. I can also create an interior sharing account in the future."

Trieu Khai Thanh smiled and replied:

"Let's have a nice wedding first. If she makes a fuss, we'll post it online, telling her to ruin the wedding and bully the newlyweds. Netizens like this style the most these days."

Co Man's mother continued:

"That's right. Tell all relatives to share. Girls have very thin skin, if you threaten them a few times, they will immediately shrink."

I turned off the recording. That moment... The last bit of thought I had of wanting to reason was completely burned out. If they like my wedding room so much... Then I'll give them another place. The bed is hard enough. The windows are iron enough. Food and accommodation included. I returned to the hotel. The first thing I did was back up the recording. One copy in the phone. One copy on the computer. One copy on the cloud drive. After listening to the recording, Hua Lam immediately said:

"Tham Tri Nghi, don't go upstairs alone. Now send a written notice immediately."

I created a group on WeChat. The group name is: Dispute over authorization to hold the key to apartment 2801. In the group there are me, Trieu Khai Thanh, Ha Minh, customer care account of Hang Thanh Real Estate headquarters and manager Dieu of the building management board. As soon as he joined the group, Trieu Khai Thanh immediately sent a message.

"Miss Tham, what are you planning to do this time?"

I didn't pay attention to him. I sent a text message.

"I am Tham Tri Nghi, the legal owner of apartment 2801, Van Lan Phu area. Hang Thanh Real Estate is only allowed to open the door within a limited scope according to the key-keeping authorization agreement, for the purpose of taking photos, cleaning and showing guests the house. Trieu Khai Thanh and his relatives arbitrarily entered the house, organized a wedding, arbitrarily changed the locks and used property in the house without permission, this is a serious violation of the contract and violation of legal rights. mine."

The second paragraph I wrote is even clearer.

"I once again officially announce: Trieu Khai Thanh and all unrelated people must leave the apartment before 6:00 p.m. today. Do not take away, sell, rent, mortgage or destroy any property in the house. In the office cabinet, there are currently laser projectors, imported speakers, invoices for designer lights, jewelry, contracts to buy household electrical appliances... All have invoices, serial numbers, purchase history and camera data. If you arbitrarily open the cabinet, move or sell property, I will immediately report to the police."

Trieu Khai Thanh responded very quickly.

"Stop scaring people. Who wants to touch your tattered things?"

Right after that, Co Man sent a friend request. The notes have only one sentence.

"Please don't ruin my wedding."

I do not accept. In the group, Ha Minh texted:

"Miss Tham, we understand your excitement. However, we hope you will not use too serious words when the incident has not yet been fully verified. The company is investigating. Extremely coordinate to resolve."

I replied:

"I have finished collecting evidence. If you still haven't moved out by 6:00 p.m., I will file a criminal report and file a civil lawsuit."

Hang Thanh Real Estate's customer care account is still as silent as death. I opened the image from the secret camera. On the screen of the camera in the smoke detector in the office, the cabinet door is still closed. 5:12 p.m. The office door was pushed open. Trieu Khai Thanh walked in. Co Man followed behind. She changed into her wedding dress and wore a red wool dress. In his hand, Trieu Khai Thanh holds a screwdriver. Co Man asked in a low voice:

"She already sent a message in the group, are you still planning to pick the lock?"

Trieu Khai Thanh replied:

"The more she says she has a serial number, the more it proves that the item is worth money. Don't take everything, just take a few that are new."

Co Man asked:

"Do you have the jade bracelet?"

Trieu Khai Thanh paused.

"How do you know there is a jade necklace?"

Co Man rolled her eyes.

"Last night I saw her open the closet, there was a velvet box inside."

Trieu Khai Thanh squatted in front of the cabinet. He inserted the screwdriver into the lock. Can't pry. Second time. The cabinet door made a noise. Come the third time. The lock burst open. Looking at that scene on the screen... My heartbeat became even slower. The clearer the better. Trieu Khai Thanh pulled out the cabinet door. Co Man was the first to take the velvet box. Inside is a jade bracelet my mother left behind. She held it up under the light and asked:

"How much is this worth?"

Trieu Khai Thanh replied:

"It's just old stuff, just take it away first."

Then he grabbed the projector box again. Two speakers. A box containing accessories of the designer light set. Along with the robot vacuum cleaner, still in its original box, that I keep in the bottom shelf of the cabinet. Co Man took out her phone to take a photo.

"Let me post it on the platform to see how much money I get."

Trieu Khai Thanh said:

"Don't use the main account."

Co Man replied:

"I know, I use a secondary account."

5:40 p.m. The camera in the lobby recorded the scene of them putting all their belongings into two red wedding suitcases. 6:05 p.m. A strange man entered the house. He was wearing a black life jacket and holding a contract bag in his hand. Trieu Khai Thanh shook hands with him right in the living room. The distance is a bit far. But the camera in the electrical cabinet still records quite clearly.
