Chapter 13 — Great Lady Fake Weakness

I once asked him: "Aren't you afraid of me?" He looked up from the pile of documents: "Why are you afraid?" I said, “My reputation is not very good.” Bui Do replied: "My reputation is not good." I thought, that's right. Outside, it is rumored that Bui Do is cold-blooded and heartless, his six relatives do not accept it. As for the Bui Do I knew, he would save dinner for me, would help me block Mrs. Bui's probing comments, and would calmly order the housekeeper to change into new clothes after I accidentally broke something. He doesn't like to say pleasant words, but he is very trustworthy in his work. I suddenly felt that this marriage didn't seem that bad. Until something happened to the Minh family.

Chapter 6: Eldest Miss Goes Home That evening, That Scar suddenly came to Bui's house looking for me. Normally, no matter how much he had contacts, he knew that now that I was playing the role of the young lady of the Bui family, it would not be easy for him to come to my door. Looking at his expression, I knew something was wrong.

“What happened?”

That Scar lowered his voice: "Port Nam is in chaos. The old man is being held back." My face immediately turned cold: "Who did it?"

“New Nghia Duong.”

I frowned. Tan Nghia Duong is a new force that has emerged in the last year or two, specializing in taking on missions in the underworld. Before, they did not dare to touch the Minh family, but now they dare to touch my father, proving that there is someone behind them. That Scar said: "They spread the news and forced the young lady to return to Port Nam alone. If not, tomorrow morning we will take the old man to the sea." Bui Do stood right behind me, listening very clearly. He asked: "Have you reported to the police?" That Scar looked at him with a complicated expression: "General Bui, it's too late to report this kind of thing to the police." Without hesitation, I turned around to change clothes. Bui Do pulled my hand back: "I'll go with you." I said: “No need.” He looked at me: "Minh Yeu." I stopped walking. It's very rare for him to call me both my first and last name so seriously.

“You are not alone now.”

My chest felt like it was hit by something. I was silent for a few seconds and said: "Very dangerous." Bui Do replied: "I know."

“South Port is not the Bui family's area.”

“That's your territory.”

I looked at him and suddenly smiled. That's right. That's my area. I took off the gentle long dress that Mrs. Bui prepared and changed into my most familiar pair of black pants and short boots. Taking off the pearl bracelet, revealing the old scar on the wrist bone. Bui Do looked at me, his eyes blinking for a moment. I asked: “Isn't it beautiful?” “Beautiful,” he said. This time he didn't poke the wheel anymore. I'm in a very good mood. We sailed that night to South Harbor. As the car drove into the old neighborhood, the lights on both sides of the road turned on one after another. The news spread very quickly. The eldest lady of the Minh family has returned. South Harbor has never been a gentle place. Here there is the busiest night market, also the darkest alleys; There are people wearing suits discussing business, there are also crazy dogs hiding in the dark waiting for an opportunity. My father used to fight from here when he was young. Later, he bleached and gradually brought the Ming family's fortune into the light, but many people still could not forget the past. They are afraid of you. And also hate him. Tan Nghia Duong locked my father in a warehouse at the old wharf. Outside the warehouse, more than ten cars were parked, and in front of the door were dozens of guys juniors stand guard. Bui Do glanced: "How do you plan to get in?" I said: “Walk in.” That Scar gave me an iron tube. I looked at the tube, I hadn't used it for a long time and felt a bit nostalgic. Bui Do looked at me, then looked at the iron tube: "Have you always used this before?"

“Forehand.”

“Is it legal?”

“Depends on the situation.”

He was silent for a moment: "Isn't it a bit late for me to ask this question now?"
