Tham Man's face immediately turned pale.

“You talk nonsense.”

I stood up.

“Whether or not I said something wrong, you know best in your heart.”

"For the money from Hang Vien Consulting Company, Tong Thua Trach can completely say that she actively helped him launder money."

“The people at the warehouse might as well blame it on you.”

“The recording pen is in your hand.”

“The lighter is also yours to hold.”

“Tham Man.”

“You are not his woman now.”

“It's his cannon fodder.”

Tham Man's lips trembled slightly. I won't force you to ask any more. But call Ha Tri Chu.

“Tham Man is in the riverside apartment.”

“Tong Thua Trach has escaped.”

"I got part of Nam Giang's files back, and the recording pen was also recovered."

Ha Tri Chu immediately responded:

“Don't open the recording pen.”

“Send it directly to the investigation agency to seal the evidence.”

"I know."

“One more thing.”

“Before running away, Tong Thua Ze said that Khau My Lan was the last person to see my mother.”

The other end of the line was silent for a moment.

“I will go to the police station immediately.”

I hung up the phone and looked at Tham Man.

“You heard it too.”

“I'm going to see Khau My Lan.”

“Before I go, you should think carefully.”

“Say it now…”

“Or wait until Song Thua Ze blames everything on you.”

Tham Man bit her lip. Panic finally appeared in his eyes. I turned around and left. I don't need her to open her mouth right now. When people are most scared, their mouths are often the stiffest. Wait until she realizes that Tong Thua Trach really abandoned her. It will all be revealed automatically. Two thirty in the morning. I went to the police station. Khau My Lan sat on a bench outside the testimony room. Hair is messy. His face was gray. A few hours ago, she was standing in the living room of Thinh Dinh Loan villa, pointing five fingers. Now I don't even dare to look straight at me. I stood in front of her.

“Tong Thua Trach has escaped.”

Khau My Lan immediately raised her head. I calmly replied:

“He left Tham Man in the apartment.”

“And I took the lost file with me and ran away.”

“Tham Man is pregnant.”

Khau My Lan's whole body stiffened. I looked at her reaction. There is an answer in my heart. Khau My Lan did not know about Tham Man's pregnancy. She just knew her son needed money. I even thought that Tong Thua Trach did all of this for Tong Nha Ky and the reputation of the Tong family. But in fact... He had prepared a way for himself to retreat a long time ago. Khau My Lan's lips trembled.

“No way.”

“Thua Trach will not do that.”

I looked at her coldly.

“You still don't understand until now?”

“He can sell the house my parents left behind.”

“You could push her away and be the one to break into the house.”

“You can use Tong Nha Ky's wedding as an excuse.”

“Then I can completely leave you here now.”

The blood on Khau My Lan's face gradually drained away. I pulled out a chair and sat down.

“I just asked one thing.”

“Before my mother had an accident, did you meet her?”

Khau My Lan immediately tightened her hem.

"Do not have."

I took out my phone. Play the video recording Tong Thua Trach's last words before fleeing. His voice rang out clearly. Want to know the truth? So go ask your mother-in-law. She was the last person to see my mother before her die. After listening, Khau My Lan's shoulders trembled. I stared at her.

“I give you a chance.”

“I'll let the investigator take notes.”

“If you don't say…”

“I will go find Tong Thua Trach.”

“Wait until he opens his mouth first.”

“Then you only have to bear the blame.”

Khau My Lan's eyes immediately turned red.

“I... I didn't know what would happen.”

My heart suddenly sank. Khau My Lan covered her face, her voice trembling.

“That day your mother came to look for me.”

“She said your father has a piece of evidence in his hand.”

“She asked me…”

“Did the Song family also receive money from Nam Giang?”

I mean every word:

“The Song family?”

Khau My Lan cried and nodded.

“Not Thua Trach.”

“It's his father.”

“Tong Kien Minh.”

My breathing suddenly stopped. Tong Kien Minh... Song Thua Ze's father. Many years ago, it was always said that he passed away due to illness. Since I married into the Song family, I have only seen him on photos. Khau My Lan raised her pale face.

“Before leaving, your mother slipped me a memory card.”

“She said if she and your father couldn't return—”

“Then tell me to give it back to you.”

I jumped up from the chair.

“Where is the memory card?”

Khau My Lan's lips trembled violently.

“I hid it.”

“Then Thua Trach knew about it.”

“Last night he forced me to reveal where I hid it.”

My eyes were cold and scary. Khau My Lan was about to open her mouth. Suddenly, at the end of the hallway, footsteps were heard. An investigator rushed over.

“Miss Duong.”

“We just received the news.”

“Tong Thua Trach has arrived at the cemetery.”

“He dug up your mother's grave.”
