They always know what I'm most concerned about. Lawyer Manh reminded me in a low voice. "There's no need to go anywhere." I was silent for a few seconds. Then took out his phone and gave it to the police. "If I go in, there must be medical staff there throughout the process." "No private meetings." Director Hac nodded. "This is natural." I changed into isolation clothes and followed the nurse into the buffer area. The lights in the operating room were blindingly white. Han Lap Xuyen lies on the operating table, his face pale. The sound of machinery rang out regularly. He wasn't as bad as I thought he would be. It's just that his eyes are half-closed. When he sees me, his pupils move a little. Director Hac stood next to him. "Mr. Han, hurry up and say something." Han Lap Xuyen's voice was very weak. "An Ninh." I stood one meter away from him. "Say it." His lips moved. "I regret it." "The family doesn't need it anymore." "Don't get divorced anymore." I didn't answer. The corners of his eyes gradually turned red. "I'm scared to death." "I'm really scared." If it was before, hearing this part would definitely soften my heart. But right now, I just want to know what he says next. Sure enough, after pausing for a few seconds, he continued to speak. "Go out and tell them." "Say it was a misunderstanding." "Tell me you spoke too much when you were angry." "Then I will coordinate the surgery." Director Hac's eyebrows immediately furrowed. I laughed softly. "You're already lying on the operating table, but you still want to force me to clean up the mess for you guys." Han Lap Xuyen's breathing became rapid. "I have no other choice." "Your parents will be investigated." "Something will happen to your younger brother." "Forgive them." I looked at him. "What about Tieu Du?" "Have you forgiven the boy yet?" His eyes avoided. "He's my son." "Brother." won't really hurt him." "Sending someone to secretly take pictures of him, tricking him into signing a declaration, going to school to block his way, aren't those all considered hurt?" He was silent. Director Hac reminded in a low voice. "Mr. Han, don't get emotional." Han Lap Xuyen suddenly stared at me again. "Trinh An Ninh, don't forget." "There's still something else in my hand." My heart sank. "What?" His voice was so low that it was almost inaudible. "The down payment my parents gave me that year may not be clean." I raised my eyes in surprise. "What do you mean?" In his eyes, there was finally something in his eyes. There was a familiar look of calculation. "Do you think I only prepared the loan note?" "I've already investigated the money your father sold that old house." "There's a sum of money in the middle, of unknown origin." "If I just send someone to report it, your parents won't be able to live in peace." I tightened my fingers. My father is no more. My mother's health is also not good. He dared to count on my parents. Just as I was about to open my mouth, Director Hac interrupted loudly. "Mr. Han, now is not the time to talk about these things!" Han Lap Xuyen closed his eyes. "An Ninh." "I withdraw my application."
sue." "I won't touch your mother." The atmosphere in the operating room seemed to freeze. I looked at the man who had been in bed with me for seven years. At this moment, I was finally completely certain. He was not talking loudly when he was critically ill. But he was bad. So bad that even in the moment of fighting for life, he was still calculating how to drag me into the mud. I turned and walked away. Han Lap Xuyen was behind me quickly. quickly shouted. "Trinh An Ninh!" "Aren't you afraid something will happen to your mother?" I stopped at the door, without turning around. "Your words, Director Hac heard it." "The nurse also heard it." "There is a record in the operating room." "Go ahead." He fell silent immediately. When I walked out of the operating room, my face was definitely very ugly. Lawyer Manh immediately came to pick me up. "What did he say?" I narrated Every word for him to hear. Lawyer Manh's face also darkened. "He is threatening your mother." "And he also mentioned your parents' down payment." "This proves that he may have another set of fake documents." I looked at Han Duc Hai at the end of the hallway. His eyes were gloomy, but I suddenly realized that Han Duc Hai's statement was not a temporary outburst next step. Sure enough, ten minutes later, my mother called. Her voice was trembling. "An Ninh, just now two people came to look for me." "They said that your father sold the house that year with signs of fraudulently exchanging compensation money." "They also said that if you don't withdraw the lawsuit, they will file a complaint." I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "Mom, don't be afraid." "Did they leave anything behind?" My mother replied: "Yes." put it in an envelope." "Inside is a photocopy." I asked her to take a photo and send it over. The moment the photo was delivered, my heart completely sank to the bottom. It was a set of denunciation documents. In the signature of the accuser, the name Han Duc Hai was written. As for the name of the accused, it was my father who had been dead for three years.19
