Chapter 14 — From a 16 Million Yuan Villa to a Secret Buried for Ten Years

Ha Tri Chu replied:

“I will have someone check.”

He paused for a few seconds then continued:

“One more thing.”

“Your parents' accident that year.”

“I propose to apply to reopen the investigation file.”

I was silent for two seconds.

“Can it be turned over?”

“It's only possible that new clues appear.”

“Tong Thua Trach's recording.”

“The old warehouse break-in.”

“The file was stolen.”

“It can all be connected into a chain.”

I looked at the empty metal cabinet in front of me.

“Then reopen.”

“Even though ten years have passed…”

“I still want to know who did it in the end.”

Ha Tri Chu's voice calmed down.

“Don't come home tonight.”

“Tong Thua Ze is most likely completely out of control right now.”

I raised my head and looked into the distance. City lights stretch out into the night.

“I will not return to Thinh Dinh Loan villa.”

Ha Tri Chu asked:

“So where are you going?”

I looked at the old warehouse in front of me. Where my father started his career. The place was just tried to burn down. Then slowly replied:

“I want to go somewhere.”

“But Song Thua Ze thought I would never remember.”

“My dad's old office.”

“The answer I've been looking for for ten years is there.”

I was just about to get in the car when my phone screen lit up. Tham Man sent a photo. In the photo, Tong Thua Trach is sitting on the sofa with a bandage on his temple. His face was gloomy. Next to it is a yellow paper file bag. The bag clearly states: Nam Giang Construction Materials Area Phase 1. Immediately after that, a new message appeared. Miss Tang, if you want to get this back, don't bring anyone with you. I looked at the screen, the corners of my lips curled up slightly. Then answer in two words: Ms. Tran standing next to her immediately panicked.

“General Manager Duong!”

I raised my hand to stop him.

“Share the real-time location of this phone with lawyer Ha and Uncle Luu.”

“In addition, prepare a form to withdraw the denunciation.”

Ms. Tran was stunned.

“Are you really going to withdraw your application?”

My eyes turned cold.

“Of course not.”

“I just showed them a piece of bait.”

I took a spare phone, turned on the recording function and automatically synchronized data.

“They want to see me as a soft persimmon.”

“Then let them bite the hook.”

Riverfront apartment not far from the company. During the whole trip, I didn't say another word. The city at dawn was strangely quiet. The car's headlights pierced the cold fog, sharp as a blade. I bowed my head and looked at the old photo of my parents on my phone. In the photo, dad stands in front of the old warehouse. Mom hugged a stack of contracts and smiled gently. I was very young then. Always think that they will be with you forever. Later, an accident crushed everything. Tong Thua Trach once hugged me and said:

“In the future, I will protect you on their behalf.”

Now think again. That statement is so dirty it's ridiculous. The car stopped under an apartment building along the river. I told Captain Vuong to stay outside.

“If I don't send a text message in ten minutes, everyone come right away.”

Captain Vuong frowned.

“Ten minutes is too long.”

“Five minutes.”

I nodded. I walked into the lobby alone. The elevator goes straight to the twenty-third floor. When the elevator door opened, the door at the end of the hallway was ajar. Inside, Tham Man's voice rang out.

“She's here.”

I pushed the door and walked in. Room Guests only turned on a few lights. Dim light. Tong Thua Trach sat on the sofa. Tham Man stood behind him. On the tea table, in addition to the Nam Giang file, there was also an old tape recorder. Tong Thua Trach raised his head and looked at me. The smile at the corner of his lips was cold and scary.

“Duong Vy.”

“What my father left behind before he died…”

“Do you dare listen?”

I didn't immediately look at the recording pen. But first look at Tong Thua Trach. The wound on his temple was not deep. But the bandage was wrapped very ostentatiously. It's like it was intentional for me to see. Tham Man wore a light-colored nightgown. The hair is loosely tied back. Her hand was placed on the back of the sofa, her fingertips very close to Tong Thua Trach. That position is not like your partner's. Which resembles the female owner. My eyes glanced over her lower abdomen. Tham Man instinctively took a half step back. I smiled softly.

“Pregnant?”

Tham Man's face immediately changed. Tong Thua Trach frowned.

“Don't bring unrelated matters into it.”

I calmly replied:

“Relevant.”

“Adultery during marriage.”

“Dispersal of assets.”

“Start your own company.”

“Everything is related.”

Tham Man smiled coldly.

“Miss Tang, there must be evidence when talking.”

I put the phone on the tea table.

“The thing I don't lack the most is evidence.”

“Hang Vien Consulting Company, two years received a total of 12,000,000 yuan.”

“Hotel room rental history, bank transfer statements, apartment residence registration documents.”

“Which one do you want to see? I'll read it to you right now.”

Cracks immediately appeared on the calm expression on Tham Man's face. Tong Thua Trach grabbed the file bag.

“Don't you want this?”

“Let your people withdraw.”

“Tell the lawyer to stop the prosecution.”

“Get your mother out of the police station.”

“As for divorce, I agree.”

“But you have to share half of the company and the money.”

I looked at him. His eyes were devoid of any emotion.

“Based on what?”

Tong Thua Trach patted the file bag.

“Based on this.”

“Haven't you always wanted to know the real reason why your father died?”

“Here is the answer you want.”

I slowly sat down.

“So tell me.”

Tong Thua Trach stared at me.

“Sign first.”

Tham Man took out a stack of documents and pushed them in front of me.
