Chapter 5 — Two Million Yuan Ends Eight Years of Marriage

I hung up, then sent a text message to the lawyer. 【Chu Van Bac has been laid off by the company, has no assets left to enforce the judgment, his credit record is considered to have collapsed.】 The lawyer responded very quickly. 【This is very beneficial for gaining custody of the child.】 【You did very well.】 Looking at the words "very good", my eyes were a little teary. No one knows how much I had to sacrifice to get to this step. Eight years of youth. All innocence. Cut off all retreats with your own hands. Turn yourself into a cold and cruel woman. The phone lights up again. I picked up the phone. On the other end of the phone, Chu Van Bac's voice was hoarse, tired, but filled with resentment.

“Kha Tinh.”

He called me by my full name.

“I won.”

“You lost your job, your family was devastated, you were burdened with debt, everyone treated you like a disease.”

“Your sister turned against you, and your parents were sent to the hospital by you.”

“I have nothing left.”

In that voice, there was no regret, only endless hatred.

“Are you satisfied?”

“Are you really angry?”

I don't answer. I just asked calmly.

“The divorce agreement, have you signed it yet?”

He was silent. I clearly heard heavy breathing, like the growl of a cornered animal.

“Kha Tinh, you are truly cruel.”

he said.

“Don't you even need your child anymore?”

“Chu Niem is my child.”

My voice turned cold.

“Child custody rights must belong to me.”

“I'm dreaming!”

He seemed to be touched at a weak point and immediately screamed.

"You want to steal my child? I tell you, there is no way!"

“Kha Tinh, don't force me!”

“I have nothing left, I dare to do anything!”

"If you don't return the money and don't come back and admit your mistake, I guarantee you will never see Chu Niem again in your whole life!"

That's a threat. Naked, cruel, aimed straight at my weakest point. My heart suddenly sank. The thing I was most worried about still happened in the end. Chu Van Bac, who was cornered, was using his own son as the last card. I took a deep breath, forcing myself to calm down.

“Chu Van Bo.”

My voice is colder than his.

"Don't you dare touch a strand of Chu Niem's hair."

“I will tell you what is called hell.”

Monday morning, the sky was heavily overcast. I stayed up all night. Chu Van Bac's threat was like a thorn deep in the heart. My son. My final limit. I absolutely will not let anything happen to my child. Today is the day Chu Niem leaves boarding school and goes home. I must pick up my child. But I know, Chu Van Bac will definitely be waiting at the school gate. It will be a head-to-head match. I can't show up on my own. I called my brother.

“You, I need your help.”

I quickly explained the situation. On the other end of the line, my brother cursed directly.

"Bastard! Is he still human?"

“Even my own son poses a threat!”

“Don't worry, I'll call someone over right away!”

"Today, even if we have to break his legs, we still have to get him back!"

“Don't take risks.”

I stopped.

"Now he's like a crazy person, being stubborn only puts me in danger."

“We have to be smarter.”

I looked at the prepared documents, my eyes gradually sharpened.

"I'll come to you, I'll give you the things."

“By the way, help me contact someone.”

An hour later, his younger brother brought two tall friends to the hotel. I gave you the authorization and a copy of your identity card people.

"This is a full power of attorney, legally you can pick up Chu Niem on my behalf."

“I called the principal and sent the file in advance, they will coordinate.”

After that, I handed over another set of documents. It is an application for a personal protection order. Inside clearly recorded all of Chu Van Bac's harassing and threatening behavior towards me and my family. Including him coming to my parents' house to cause trouble, coming to my sister's workplace to cause trouble, and yesterday's threatening phone call. I recorded it.

“This is your lawyer, call him when he gets there.”

“He will be with the police, waiting nearby.”

“If Chu Van Bac dares to do anything excessive, the police will intervene immediately.”

My brother looked at me, his eyes both sad and respectful.

“I… I'm all ready.”

“I didn't expect you to be so good.”

I smiled faintly. It's not that I'm good at it. It's just this marriage that forced me to become the person I am now. Four o'clock in the afternoon, in front of the kindergarten gate. I sat in a taxi five hundred meters away, binoculars in hand, my eyes fixed on the gate. My heart felt like it was hanging in my throat. Sure enough, Chu Van Bac arrived. He was haggard, gloomy, with sunken eyes and stubble. Like a wolf stalking its prey in the dark. He didn't come closer, just stood across the street, leaning against a tree, his eyes locked on the school gate. Very quickly, my younger brother and two friends arrived. They went straight to the kindergarten gate. Chu Van Bac immediately noticed, his whole body tensed up, his eyes flashed fiercely, then he quickly rushed forward to block my brother.

“What are you doing here?”

He growled.

"Where is my wife? Why don't you dare come?"

My brother looked at him, his expression as calm as anything.

“My sister told me to come pick up Niem Niem.”

Chu Van Bac laughed coldly and pushed hard on my sister's chest.

"Where is he? Tell him to drag himself out to see me!"

“Who the hell are you to pick up my child?”

His actions immediately attracted the attention of school security. My brother didn't get angry, he just spoke very calmly.

“Chu Van Bac, I warn you, don't move your hand.”

"I have my sister's power of attorney, legally I have the right to pick up the boy."

“If you continue to cause trouble, I will report you to the police.”

“Report to the police?”

Chu Van Bac laughed as if he heard something ridiculous.

"Today I'll say it frankly, besides Kha Tinh, no one can take my child away!"

He said as he was about to rush forward. At that moment, a police car quietly stopped on the side of the road. Two policemen walked down, along with my lawyer. The lawyer approached, holding out a stack of papers.

“You are Chu Van Bac, right?”

“I am the lawyer representing Kha Tinh.”

“Due to your repeated harassment and threats against my client and her family, we have filed for a personal protection order.”

"While waiting for the court's verdict, I ask you to keep a safe distance from your client and her family."

Chu Van Bac looked at the lawyer, then looked at the policeman standing next to him, his whole body seemed frozen. Maybe he never thought I would prepare to this extent. He wanted to cause chaos, wanted to be unruly, but in front of the police, he couldn't do anything. At that moment, my brother smoothly entered the school. A few minutes later, his younger brother took Chu Niem out. Chu Niem saw Chu Van Bac and called out in a young voice. Chu Van Bac's body trembled slightly. His eyes were fixed on his son, mixed with unwillingness, anger, and... despair. He wanted to rush. But light The police's stern eyes held him in place. He could only stand there, watching my brother carry Chu Niem into the car. The car started and slowly passed in front of him. At that moment, through binoculars, I clearly saw his face. All aggression and arrogance disappeared. Only complete collapse remains. He lost. Lose until there's nothing left to lose. In the taxi, my tears finally flowed.
