Chapter 24 — After the Fire Ends, I Return
Tham Duat's face turned cold every inch: "Who are you talking about?" Mrs. Lam closed her mouth. I looked at her: "You don't say, do you want to wait for the Lam family to be dragged into the water by the Luc family, or do you want to let your daughter bear the blame alone?" Mrs. Lam gritted her teeth: "My daughter will not bear the burden alone."
“Then say it.”
She looked up at Tham Duat: "Go ask your Second Uncle." Tham Duat turned on his heel and walked away immediately. I followed. Khuong Van mumbled and cursed: "The front door is so dirty, my Duong Ky kitchen is still cleaner." * The Tham family's ancient house is brightly lit. Uncle Hai and Aunt Hai sat in the living room, looking like they had been waiting for a long time. As soon as she saw us, Aunt Hai took a pre-emptive strike: "Ah Duat, in the middle of the night you took Hua Duong and ran around like this, where is the face of the Tham family?" Tham Duat stared at Second Uncle: "How much do you know about my brother's story that year?" Uncle Two's expression did not change: "What nonsense did you hear someone say?"
“Lady Lam said, there is someone in the Tham family who wants your brother dead.”
Miss Hai slammed the table and stood up: "Do you believe the words of a criminal in your family? Ah Duat, because of this woman, even your uncle is suspicious?" I looked at Aunt Hai: "Aunt Hai, Tham Duat just asked a question, what are you in a hurry for?" She glared: "It's not your turn to speak here." Grandma Tham came down from upstairs: "She is the wife of the Tham family, she has something to say." Aunt Hai's arrogance deflated. Uncle Two looked at Grandma Tham: "Mom, do you also doubt me?" Grandma Tham sat down: "I had my doubts three years ago." Second Uncle's expression finally changed: "Mom." Grandma Tham looked at him: "After Tham Van died, the first thing you did was not find out the truth, but forced A Duat to hand over what his brother was keeping. Do you think I'm old and confused?" Uncle Hai was silent. Tham Duat asked: "What transaction did you make with the Luc family?" Uncle Hai suddenly laughed: "Trading? I just want to get back what belongs to me. Why is Tham Van the heir as soon as he is born? I am a buffalo and horse for the Tham family, it only takes one sentence to decide where I will live?" Grandmother Tham's voice was cold: "So you helped the Luc family harm him?"
“I don't want to hurt it!”
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Hai quickly covered her mouth. Uncle Hai also realized that everything had been revealed. Tham Duat walked forward step by step: "What did you do?" Uncle Hai gritted his teeth: "I only revealed the news that Tham Van was going to Van Lan Hall to the Luc family. I didn't know they would set it on fire." Tham Duat grabbed his collar tightly: "You don't know? You know the Luc family wants to stop him." Uncle Two's eyes were streaked red: "I thought they were just taking away evidence. I didn't expect so many people to die." I asked: “What is evidence?” Uncle Hai looked at me: "You still don't know?" Tham Duat let go. Uncle Hai smiled sarcastically: "Ah Duat, you've been married to her for so long without telling her? That year, Tham Van investigated not the Luc family, but the Hua family." I was stunned. Khuong Van was also stunned: "Hua family? Duong Duong's family?" Uncle Two stared at me: "The Duong Ky restaurant that your father left behind is not just a small restaurant. Tham Van looked up an old list, on which a group of people were impersonated. Your father, Hua Kien Quoc, is one of them." Fingers I'm cold. Tham Duat glared at Uncle Hai: "Shut your mouth." Uncle Hai laughed even louder: "What, are you afraid she'll know you approached her just because of that list?" I turned to Tham Duat: "Is he telling the truth?" Tham Duat did not answer immediately. This silence is like a basin of ice water being poured directly on you. I pulled my hand out of his palm.
“Tham Duat, how many more things are you hiding from me?”
He lowered his voice: "I'll tell you."
“Speak now.”
