Chapter 10 — You use Filial piety to tie me down, I use divorce to end it

After hanging up the phone, I looked at Ms. Truong's number in the contact list and quietly thought. If she called directly, she definitely wouldn't dare listen. Or it is possible that he is being monitored by the Chu family. I need a safer way. Thinking for a moment, I used an unfamiliar phone number to send her a text message. The content is very simple. 【Sister Truong, I'm Hua Tinh. I know how much money they gave you. But have you ever thought that after the job is done, they will silence you?】 【The crime of intentionally causing injury is at least three years in prison. Do you think it's worth it for that little money?】 【They promised not to report to the police, do you believe it? What kind of person is Chu Minh Le, you know better than me.】 【Now the only person who can help you is only me.】 【If you want to save yourself, tonight at ten o'clock, come to the small flower garden behind the hospital to meet me.】 【Go alone.】 After sending the message, I erased the entire history. The bait has been dropped. Just see if this fish takes the bait or not. I have an extremely strong premonition. She will definitely come. Because the desire to survive... Is a human instinct. But what I gave her... Is the only way to live. At 9:50 p.m., I went to the small flower garden behind the hospital first. This place is very deserted. There was only one dim streetlight. I chose to stand in a dark corner, waiting quietly. The night wind was very cold, rustling the leaves. But my heart felt strangely calm. At exactly ten o'clock, a small thin figure stealthily appeared at the entrance to the garden. It's Ms. Truong. She wore an old, baggy coat, covered her face with a hat and mask, revealing only her scared eyes. She kept looking around like a panicked rabbit. I came out from the darkness.

“Miss Truong.”

She was startled by my voice and almost screamed. Seeing that it was me, she calmed down a bit, but her body was still shaking.

“Miss…Miss Hua…”

I looked at her.

“I won't hurt you.”

She didn't say anything, just looked at me with panicked eyes.

“The message I sent, did you read it?”

She hesitated for a few seconds then nodded.

“You… can you really help me?”

The voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

“That remains to be seen…”

“Do I think you're worth helping or not?”

I took a step forward, my eyes locked on her.

“Tell me, who told you to do that?”

Ms. Truong's lips trembled, her eyes avoided, not daring to look at me.

“No… no one…”

“Miss Truong.”

My voice turned cold.

“My patience has limits.”

"You feel like cooperating with me, taking the money and leaving, starting a new and better life..."

"Or would it be better for the Chu family to take advantage of you and then throw you in prison so that you will be ruined?"

“Have you received enough money they promised you?”

“Or have we only given a part in advance, and the rest must wait for everything to be successful?”

“Have you ever thought…”

"Wait until you are no longer useful, how will they treat you?"

"They will run to the police station, crying and saying that she is a cruel caregiver, intentionally harming their poor mother."

“Then ask the court to punish her harshly and force her to pay a large amount of compensation!”

“Until then…”

“I can't get even a penny.”

“But I still have to bear a lifelong debt that I can't pay back and spend several years in prison!”

Every sentence I say is like a stab The heavy hammer hit her psychologically. Ms. Truong's face became whiter and whiter. The body trembled like a leaf in the wind.

“How much money did Chu Minh Khai give you?”

“Ten thousand yuan?”

“Or twenty thousand yuan?”

I looked straight into her eyes and slowly said a number.

“I'll pay you double.”

Ms. Truong's pupils immediately contracted.

“Just tell me the truth.”

“And hand over all evidence of your transactions with them to me.”

“The money, I will transfer it to you immediately.”

“Besides, I guarantee…”

“You will not have to bear any legal risks.”

"It's taking my money, leaving far away from here, starting a new life..."

“Or continue to believe in the Chu family's bad checks and bet your future…”

“You choose yourself.”

Having finished speaking, I stopped looking at her and turned around to look into the deep darkness in the garden. Her psychological defense has completely collapsed. Behind me was a long silence. A suppressed cry rang out softly.

“It's… it's Mr. Chu and his sister…”

Finally, Ms. Truong opened her mouth.
