Chapter 13 — After the Fire Ends, I Return

Lam Vi's expression froze. Luc Canh Xuyen also looked at her: "Didn't you say it was canceled?" Lam Vi panicked: "I just don't want to waste it. The money has been spent, the guests have arrived. I plan to wait for Duong Duong to return and return the place to her." Khuong Van doubled over with a smile: "The cake has been cut, the flower wall has been photographed, so I returned it to the bride. You are really generous." Luc Canh Xuyen stared at Lam Vi. This was the first time in front of me that he used suspicious eyes to look at her. Lam Vi immediately hugged her chest: "Canh Xuyen, I'm a bit uncomfortable." Luc Canh Xuyen naturally reflexively reached out to support her. That bit of doubt immediately disappeared.

“I'll take you to the hospital first.”

Before leaving, he looked at me: "Hua Duong, I will give you an explanation about today's matter. But don't think that with Tham Duat you can step on the Luc family." I replied: “I wait for your explanation.” Luc Canh Xuyen helped Lam Vi step out of Duong Ky. The patrons in the shop were still scolding. My mother walked over and rubbed my face: "Duong Duong, are you in pain?" This statement almost made me cry. Khuong Van quickly hugged my mother: "Auntie, he's not in pain. He's very powerful now. Just scolded Luc Canh Xuyen like a dog falling into water." My mother looked at Tham Duat: "Brother Tham, thank you today." Tham Duat bowed slightly: "Mom, just call me Tham Duat." My mother was stunned. Khuong Van was also stunned. Tham Duat glanced at me: "We have received the evidence." My mother's lips moved for half a day, and in the end she just said: "Then stay for lunch this afternoon." Tham Duat nodded: "Yes." * I watched Duong Ky start the fire again, and the sound of the shovel stirring food in the kitchen rang out again. The phone suddenly vibrated. Some strange device sent a photo. In the photo is a security camera photo of the fire scene three years ago. The back of me rushing into the kitchen to save Luc Canh Xuyen was extremely clear. Below is just one sentence: *"Want to know who deleted the complete video? Tonight at eight o'clock, Van Lan lobby."* At eight o'clock in the evening, I went to Van Lan lobby. Tham Duat wanted to go with me but I refused.

“This is an old debt between me and Luc Canh Xuyen.”

He put the car key in my hand: "If you don't come out in half an hour, I'll come in." Khuong Van immediately raised her hand: "I'll come in too, I'll bring the bricks." I glared at her. She changed her words: "I bring justice." Van Lan Hall still retains remnants from Lam Vi's birthday party. The silver flower wall had not been removed, ribbons were scattered on the table, and the large screen in the middle of the stage was still on Lam Vi's image. Luc Canh Xuyen stood under the stands, his back looking very tired. Hearing footsteps, he turned around.

"Hua Duong, I'm really here."

I glanced at the empty banquet hall: "You sent the photo?"

“No.”

“So who is it?”

Luc Canh Xuyen did not answer, just asked: "Let me know first, what is it like between you and Tham Duat?" I turned on my heel to leave. He quickly stopped: "Okay, I won't ask anymore."

“Where is the camera tape?”

Luc Canh Xuyen took out an old USB from his pocket.

“In here is a video from that year.”

I held out my hand to receive it. But he held tight and did not give.

“Hua Duong, let's talk.”

“There's nothing to say.”

“Yes.”

He looked at me: "That fire, Vi Vi always said that she discovered I was trapped and called for help. I believed it." for three years. Today someone sent that photo to me, and I found out that you also rushed in.” I corrected him: "It's not 'also rush in'. It was I who pushed you out.” Luc Canh Xuyen's face became blank in the blink of an eye.

“Why did you never say anything?”

“I said it before.”

He frowned: "When?"
