Chapter 26 — After Divorce, I Am a Real Angel

“It's a small wound, it's okay.” I shook my head, "To Quoc Hung..."

“Has been escorted back to the department.” Police Officer Tran continued, "He is suspected of being involved in many kidnappings and murders. This time he cannot escape. Furthermore, he has confessed some things that may be related to the Pho family."

My heart sank.

“What is it?”

Officer Tran looked around and lowered his voice: "He said, in order to monopolize the Pho, that year, Mr. Pho actually arranged to kill his son and daughter-in-law. But there is no evidence for this, it is just his one-sided statement. Furthermore, he also claimed that in the past years, Mr. Pho has always been secretly laundering money, dispersing assets, preparing to siphon off all of the Pho to smuggle abroad." I took a breath of cold air.

“No way…”

“Possible or not, we have to investigate to know.” Police Officer Tran said, "We have applied for a search warrant. Tomorrow morning we will go to Pho to investigate. To Nghien, you are the granddaughter of the Pho family. There are things that may require your cooperation."

I nodded.

“I will coordinate.”

"In addition..." Officer Tran hesitated, "Pho Kinh Nghien's wound, the doctor said it didn't hit a dangerous spot, a few stitches would be fine. But he probably needs to rest for a while. To Nghien, what's going on between you two..."

“We are divorced.” I said.

Officer Tran was stunned, then sighed.

"Okay. Then you treat the wound, come to the bureau tomorrow to take a statement."

Sending Police Tran and Tran Tinh away, I sat on the bench, looking at the emergency room door. Pho Kinh Nghien is still there. The man I loved for 3 years, hated for 3 years, the man who just saved me a knife. What mood should I use to face him? I do not know. * The wound on Pho Kinh Nghien's shoulder required 12 stitches and required hospitalization for a few days. I checked him into the hospital, then went to the pharmacy to get medicine. When he returned to the hospital room, he was awake, leaning back against the headboard, staring blankly out the window. Hearing footsteps, he turned around and saw me, his eyes moving slightly.

“Are you not home yet?”

I put the medicine on the bedside table, poured a glass of water and gave it to him.

“Drink your medicine.”

Pho Kinh Nghien took the glass of water but didn't drink it, just stared at me.

“To Nghien, let's talk.”

“What are you talking about?” I sat down on the chair next to the bed, "Talking about old man Pho, did he kill my parents? Or talking about the messy relationship between you and me?"

Pho Kinh Nghien pondered for a moment, then replied: "I will investigate clearly about my grandfather. If it is really him... I will give you an answer."

“And then what?” I asked, "The great cause is to destroy yourself and send your grandfather to prison? Pho Kinh Nghien, can you bear it? The Pho family raised you for more than 20 years, raised you to be an heir, gave you everything. Can you really be so cruel as to send him there?"

Pho Kinh Nghien's hand holding the cup tightened.

“I don't know.” His voice was hoarse, "But if it's true, he must pay the price. Kill for life, that's an obvious morality."

“So what about what To Quoc Hung said about your parents?” I looked into his eyes, "Do you believe it?"

Pho Kinh Nghien lowered his eyes, his eyelashes casting a shadow down his cheekbones.

"It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. What matters is the truth. I will investigate and find out exactly what happened that year. If it were you Grandfather... I will make him pay his debt in blood."

He said these words in a very calm tone, but I could still hear the trembling in it. It was the sound of faith collapsing. Having lived for more than 20 years, the person who always thought he was his closest friend suddenly turned into an enemy. I can understand that pain.

“Pho Kinh Nghien.” I said softly, “Have you ever thought, maybe To Quoc Hung is lying? Perhaps he is fueling a schism, so that we can kill each other?"
