Chapter 9 — You use Filial piety to tie me down, I use divorce to end it

But his eyes looked towards Chu Minh Le and Ms. Truong. In those eyes... Full of warnings and threats. I looked at him, suddenly feeling extremely disgusted. The fierce tiger doesn't even eat its cubs. Yet for his own benefit... He could even take advantage of his own bedridden biological mother.

“Chu Minh Khai.”

I say every word clearly.

“You are truly the meanest man I have ever met.”

I don't pay attention to them anymore. I walked up to the employee and politely bowed my head to apologize.

“Sorry for bothering everyone.”

After that, I turned around, under the surprised, angry and panicked eyes of the three of them, straightened my back and walked out of the Civil Affairs Department. The sunlight outside is a bit dazzling. I squinted my eyes a bit, raised my hand to call a taxi. This game... It's getting more and more interesting. Chu Minh Khai... Do you think that you can keep me? You are wrong. You're just handing it to me... The perfect reason to make yourself paralyzed. I'm not going home. Didn't go back to the hotel either. I told the driver to stop in front of a cafe in the city center. I need a quiet place to rearrange all my plans. The new trick that Chu Minh Khai came up with... Although it was clumsy, it was very effective.

“Pushing an elderly person down with your own hands” — this crime can be big or small.

To put it mildly, it was an accident. In serious terms, it means intentionally causing injury. No matter which direction, as long as Ms. Truong bites me to death without changing her words... I will definitely be dragged in. I'm the one who hired her. Even though I rented through an intermediary, the Chu family could still use it to cause trouble, dragging me into endless lawsuits and ethical criticism. At that time... The divorce will naturally be prolonged indefinitely. They calculated very well. They know I want to leave in peace. Want to solve it quickly. So they deliberately created the most embarrassing situation for me... The most troublesome... And the most time-consuming. I picked up my cup of coffee and took a sip. Iced Americano. But alert enough. I relived the whole drama at the Civil Affairs Bureau this morning. Chu Minh Le's fake aggression. Chu Minh Khai's tough exterior but guilty inside. Along with Ms. Truong's timely "confession". Where is the hole? At Ms. Truong. A normal caregiver, even if he really accidentally caused something, his first reaction would be fear and concealment. Instead of running to the Civil Affairs Department and kneeling down to confess in front of everyone. There was only one motive for her to do so. There is someone behind the direction. At the same time, give her a big enough price. So big that she was willing to risk the possibility of going to jail. Only money. Chu Minh Khai and Chu Minh Le certainly promised her a large amount of money. At the same time, he assured her that this was just a "family conflict" and would not actually report her to the police, much less let her go to jail. Ms. Truong's educational level is not high, her legal awareness is vague, and she is greedy... Very easily seduced. My fingers gently tapped the table. Once it's a transaction... Then there will definitely be evidence. Transfer history. I need to make Ms. Truong personally hand over the evidence to me. What to do? I need to make her understand that... The Chu family's promises are inherently unreliable. I need to make her know... From beginning to end she was just a pawn, can be thrown away at any time. I need to make her understand... The only person who can save her is me. I took out my phone and looked for a contact. Is my college classmate. Currently working as a lawyer at a very famous law office. The phone was connected, I told him everything, not missing any detail.

"...That's roughly it. I want you to help me analyze what that caregiver will eventually face?"

After my classmate listened, he was silent for a few seconds.

"Hua Tinh, if the Chu family doesn't pursue this matter and the police don't file a case, at most it'll just be civil compensation."

“But if they turn around and bite back, wanting to blackmail or drag you into the water, insisting that she intentionally caused injury, once the evidence is confirmed…”

“She will be sentenced to at least three years in prison or more.”

He paused for a moment then added:

“Furthermore, legally, the Chu family can completely take advantage of her and then turn around and send her to prison.”

“Until then…”

“If money is lost, people will also lose it.”

"I got it."

This is the answer I want to hear.
