Chapter 8 — Forgotten Thien Kim and Crown Prince Gia Hao Mon

Thoi Tung's face showed pain, his voice suddenly became hoarse.

“Why? Since when?”

"What about you? Haven't you... always been looking towards me?"

That's right. I always look towards him. So I saw him let Aunt Lam come to his house to discuss the marriage between him and his sister. Seeing him meticulously choose to buy necklaces and bracelets for her, and for my birthday, he just conveniently gave me a promotional item. I also saw that in the moment of life and death, he instinctively chose his sister. After meeting her for the first time, he never cared about me again.

“Cui Tung, it's obvious you've changed your mind, but you've never told me clearly.”

"You both like your sister and enjoy me revolving around you. You're just like them, bullying me, but Tham Mac..."

I stopped for a moment.

“Tham Mac never compares me to anyone, he will always choose me, only me.”

“So I never bet in anger, nor was I forced.”

In the past, I rarely spoke. Feeling really frustrated, Thoi Tung asked, I grumbled a few words. Perhaps I have never heard me say so many words in one breath. Cui Tung looked at me blankly, as if he had just regained awareness of me. I didn't want to waste anymore saliva on him, so I walked towards the door.

“Cui Tung, don't you believe my sister will harm me?”

“Look, the door can't open anymore.”

The door was locked from the outside. Can't open anymore. Cui Tung rushed forward like someone who had just woken up from a dream, confirming that he really couldn't open it. Finally, believe me in two parts.

“Why, you…”

A pounding sound of footsteps interrupted him. Making his face instantly turn white. Immediately afterwards, a deafening "Bang" rang out, and the door was violently kicked open.

“Why!”

The voice was panicked, carrying extreme fear. It was Tham Mac who wasn't supposed to come today.

I have never seen such a panicked Tham Mac. In normal times, a person's face would not change even if Thai Son collapsed right before his eyes. At this time, his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and the bottom of his eyes were streaked with purple rays. He grabbed my shoulders, assessing me from top to bottom. And I was a layer away and felt his hands shaking. That slight trembling force made my heart suddenly flutter.

“Tam Mac, I'm okay.”

I arched my eyebrows, comforting him. He breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he feel reassured, his face darkened, he turned around and kicked Thoi Tung in the ribs. Thoi Tung was kicked down and tried to stand up, but Tham Mac stepped on his chest. A slight "crack" sounded, as if something had broken. Thoi Tung's face instantly turned white as paper. As for Tham Mac, he had no intention of moving.

“Cai Tung, your gut is really big.”

His voice was not too fierce, very gentle. But his expression was cold that I had never seen before. I didn't feel scared at all. On the contrary, extremely reassuring.

“Tam Mac.”

I softly called him back, "That's enough." Tham Mac used a little more force, his voice extremely warm and resentful.

“But I don't think it's enough.”

But if you step on it any more, Thoi Tuong will die.

“Or, lock him up in the next room first.”

Having been with you for three months, I have learned to think like you. I know, Today I have two paths. One way is to leave immediately, as if nothing happened. The other way is to stay, wait for my sister to bring someone, wait to see what she wants to do. As for me... From the beginning I chose the second option. It's probably a good idea. In just a split second, Tham Mac immediately understood my decision. He always trusted me, and never asked why. Throwing Thoi Tung into the next room, he turned around and closed the door, waiting with me. No need to wait too long. In the hallway, footsteps and talking were soon heard.

“Madam Shen, my sister is resting in this room.”

As soon as the door opened, Giang Tinh Di said the line she had prepared for a long time.

“What are you two doing…”

The high-pitched voice fell silent. She clearly saw the situation in the room. Because she was so surprised, she exclaimed: "Tham Mac, why you?" Tham Mac raised his eyes and looked at her coldly.

“Why can't it be me?”

He looked again at the group of aunt An and Mrs. Thoi that she deliberately led there.

“Mom, someone took medicine from Tai Tai.”

Aunt An's actions were even more decisive. Without thinking, I immediately called the bodyguard. Coldly ordered: "Hold her tight first."

The sister didn't even have the chance to speak up and was grabbed by several bodyguards. The bodyguards are very experienced. As soon as he tied himself up, he immediately went to extract the camera. From the camera, they looked into the trash where she secretly threw things away and pulled out a small bottle.

“I heard that Mr. Giang studied law in college, so he called and invited him to come here.”

“Today I have to see, can he see clearly in this case, or is he in the dark?”

Auntie An is angry. Immediately someone called his brother. Someone also reported it to the police. The police arrived first. When his brother arrived, the police had just initially verified the remaining solution in the bottle.

"This is 'obedient water', a type of anesthetic/stimulant, the main ingredient is gamma-hydroxybutyrate, or GHB, a powerful central nervous system depressant, a drug strictly controlled by the State."

The brother looked at his handcuffed sister, then looked back at me. Very quickly we were able to piece together the source of the story. It's just that he doesn't believe it.

“Because, is there some misunderstanding? She, she is my older sister…”

I hid behind Tham Mac.
