Chapter 4 — Brilliant Youth Ahead

"Currently, Pho Hao is insisting that out of love and hatred, she intentionally falsely framed him. He believes that this is just a drama caused by a husband and wife conflict, not worth destroying the future of a good police officer." I of course understood the hidden meaning in those words: "You mean... you intend to release him?" Captain Trieu avoided my eyes: "He will be severely disciplined." I nodded, quietly took out a USB from my pocket, placed it on the table. "Captain, I have one more piece of evidence." "These are some of Pho Hao's phone call recordings over the past half a year that I have saved." "Pho Hao is very careful, never discussing a case over the phone, but he has a habit - liking to turn work troubles into achievements to show off to his lovers." Captain Trieu plugged the USB into the computer. On the screen, an audio file is opened. When the play button was pressed, Pho Hao's voice rang out clearly in the interrogation room. The first paragraph is Pho Hao's tired sigh: "This case is really difficult, they are so good at counter-reconnaissance, all the leads have been cut off." Immediately following the second paragraph, his voice became as gentle as honey: "Don't worry, honey, we won't be able to track your father down, I'll take care of it." Then comes the third paragraph: "The next step is to thoroughly investigate the warehouses in the Eastern city area, I'm tired." And the fourth paragraph, again, is a flirtatious style: "Don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on the warehouses over there and won't let them do anything wrong." Captain Trieu's face turned from pale to pale. He raised his head and looked at me in surprise. These recordings, of course, were cut and assembled by me. I cleverly connected the part where Pho Hao complains about work with the part where he comforts Hua Dao. Individual sentences are fine, but when put together, they become irrefutable evidence that Pho Hao revealed investigation information to the suspect's family. "This... this is..." - Captain Trieu's voice trembled. I calmly replied: "Pho Hao thought he was smart, it's true he didn't talk directly about the case, but he used the police investigation secret as a pillow to talk to his lover." "Captain, you still think this is just a lie." is it a matter of ethical behavior?” 4Captain Trieu stared at the screen, cold sweat began to break out on his forehead. He understood very clearly that, if this recording was authenticated, Pho Hao's police career would end here, and the only thing waiting for him was legal punishment. At that moment, my phone rang. I pressed listen and turned on the speaker. On the other end of the line was a deep male voice, old but still full of majesty - the voice of Pho Hao's father, a veteran party member who was always proud of his son: "Tham Nguyet, I'm Pho Hao's father..." "I've heard about Pho Hao's story. I hope you don't cause trouble anymore. Between husband and wife, is there anything we can't sit down and talk to properly? Why do we need to take each other to the police station?" "Now you should immediately go see the captain." Trieu and made it clear that it was all just a misunderstanding, that you misunderstood." "If not, then don't blame our Pho family for not recognizing you as a daughter-in-law anymore!" His voice was full of orders, imposition and contempt. I just felt cold inside, calmly replied: "Uncle, don't you know... Pho Hao married me just for my family's fortune?" There was immediate silence on the other end of the line, I could clearly hear his indignant gasps. "It's clear that he had an affair and leaked the secret first, but to my ears, it's your fault for not being reasonable? I don't need the title of daughter-in-law of the Pho family anymore. From now on, please don't call me."

one more time.” I was just about to hang up when I suddenly heard Ms. Luu Phoi's throat-piercing scream ringing through the phone: "Mr. Pho! What's wrong with you? Anyone?! Help!" Pho Hao's father had a brain hemorrhage and was taken to the emergency ICU. When this news was transferred to the detention center, Pho Hao almost went crazy. According to captain Trieu, he screamed in the cell, banged his head against the wall, cried and shouted that I had harmed his entire family. As for me, at that time I just silently packed up his clothes and shoes, carefully putting them in a box and preparing to send them back to the Pho family. Not long after, Mrs. Liu Luo She called in. She screamed into the phone: “Tam Nguyet! You comet! That cruel woman harmed everyone's family! If anything happens to my son, I won't forgive you as a ghost!" I didn't hang up, nor did I respond. I just listened silently. When she was so hoarse and couldn't curse anymore, I calmly said: "Pho Hao brought it on himself. So was his father." "A father who doesn't know how to raise his children raises a man who takes advantage of marriage and humanity for money.
