Chapter 23 — From a 16 Million Yuan Villa to a Secret Buried for Ten Years

The cold wind whipped across my face like a knife cutting into my skin. But I don't cry. Tears are saved for later. For now, I only have one thing to do. Make them all pay.

“Back up all documents.”

“Hand over to the investigation party.”

“Also make another copy for me.”

Ha Tri Chu replied:

“It's being done.”

“Also, Han Chi Thanh's car was found.”

“What was the result?”

“That car is not in his name.”

“The owner is a security consulting company.”

I squinted my eyes slightly.

“Who is the controlling shareholder?”

Ha Tri Chu read out a name.

“Thinh Vien Group.”

My eyes moved slightly. I know this corporation. It's a long-standing local business. Starting a business from real estate, then expanding into logistics, construction and finance. Ten years ago, the largest investor of the Nam Giang project was a subsidiary of Thinh Vien. If Han Chi Thanh was just a chess piece. So in Thinh Vien Group, there is definitely someone sitting behind controlling the chess board. I spoke up:

“Investigate the list of board members of the Nam Giang project that year.”

Ha Tri Chu replied:

“I already looked it up.”

“There is someone you must have heard of.”

“Current Chairman of Thinh Vien Group, Trinh Khai Son.”

My eyes immediately cooled down. Trinh Khai Son. Of course I know this name. On the day of my father's funeral, he appeared. He stood in front of the shrine, held my hand and said his condolences. He said my father was a good man. I just regret my unfortunate fate. At that time, I just thought it was an acquaintance of my father's business circle. Now think again. That face full of regret that year made me more nauseous than the blade of a knife. Captain Vuong came over.

“Miss Tang, Song Thua Trach is about to be escorted away.”

“He asked to see you.”

I looked not far away. Tong Thua Trach was handcuffed. His face was still covered in dirt. There was more than just aggression in his eyes now. But there was also panic that couldn't be hidden. I stepped forward. Tong Thua Trach looked at me, his voice hoarse.

“Duong Vy, let's talk.”

I coldly replied:

“What qualifications do you have to talk to me?”

Tong Thua Trach quickly said:

“I know where Han Chi Thanh is.”

I looked at him.

"Condition."

Tong Thua Trach swallowed hard.

“Dismiss my mother's lawsuit.”

“Nha Ky too, she doesn't know anything.”

I almost burst out laughing.

“After coming to this point, you still think you can bargain with me?”

Tong Thua Trach's face became unsightly.

“Then I won't say.”

I nodded. Having finished speaking, I turned around and left. Tong Thua Trach immediately panicked.

“Duong Vy!”

“Don't you want to arrest Han Chi Thanh?”

I stopped walking. But don't turn back.

“I will confess.”

“Because Han Chi Thanh ran away.”

“And you are the one most easily pushed to bear the blame.”

“When you think clearly, tell your lawyer to contact Ha Tri Chu.”

Tong Thua Trach's face immediately turned pale. I had just walked a few steps when my phone vibrated. It's a text message from an unknown number. The content is only one photo. In the photo, Han Chi Thanh is standing in front of a heavy wooden door. Above the door hangs a sign. Thinh Vien Head Office. Below the photo is a text. If you want to get your father's original copy, come alone tonight at eight o'clock. I stared at the picture photos for a long time. Not out of fear. But because everything is so coincidental. Han Chi Thanh had just escaped from the old land of Nam Giang. Right after that, this strange phone number sent his location to me. This is not provocation. It was like someone intentionally led me to Thinh Vien Headquarters. I passed the photo to Ha Tri Chu. Very quickly, his phone called.

“I know this is a trap.”

Ha Tri Chu's voice lowered.

“You know it's a trap but you still go?”

I looked towards the car escorting Tong Thua Trach.

“There is bait in the trap.”

“Han Chi Thanh will not easily bring out my father's original documents.”

“Unless the person behind him wants to confirm with his own eyes how many things I actually have in my hand.”

Ha Tri Chu was silent for a moment.

“Trinh Khai Son.”

I replied softly:

“He can't sit still anymore.”

Once the data in the memory card is restored successfully. The old case will no longer be just a suspicion. Han Chi Thanh can hide. Tong Kien Minh is dead. Tong Thua Trach can push responsibility to others if there is a chance. But if the recordings and transfer transactions all point directly to Thinh Vien group. Then Trinh Khai Son was forced to act. He will not allow that fire to burn before him. So he threw Han Chi Thanh out. Just wanted to check on me. Just wanted to scare me. Ha Tri Chu says:

“Absolutely do not go alone tonight.”

“I won't go alone.”

“But I have to make them believe I'm alone.”

Ha Tri Chu immediately understood.

“You want to set a trap in reverse.”

I looked at the wild grass moving in the wind in the distance.

“I don't like being led around by others.”

“They made an appointment for me at eight o'clock at night.”
