Chapter 7 — He Forced Me to Raise Bach Nguyet Quang's Children, I Returned Him a Leave of Separation

That's right, why did he believe it? Because it's Co Thanh An. It is the white moonlight that he longs for day and night. So everything she said, he believed.

“You doubt her?”

“I'm not suspicious.”

I stood up and walked in front of the giant Luong Chau map.

“I'm telling you a truth.”

"Co Thanh An is a detective from the enemy country. She approached you and lured you into betrayal, all of which was planned in advance."

“No way!”

He almost instinctively objected.

“Thanh Xu, she…”

“What is she?”

I turned my head to look at him, my eyes cold as ice.

"Is she gentle and kind? Or simply innocent?"

“Tham Dinh Chu, wake up.”

"A woman can make the most elite deputy marshal in the North voluntarily leave his position during a war. Do you think she will be simple?"

My words were like a heavy, fierce blow to his heart. All the beliefs he had built up over the years completely collapsed in this moment. He always thought that he was just crazy about love and made an unforgivable mistake. Only now did he realize that from beginning to end, he was just a fool being toyed with by others. Because of an enemy detective, he killed his own commander, carrying the crime on his back for three years.

“Go investigate.”

"Go find out Co Thanh An's true identity, go find out that person who forged military orders. Drag him out."

He looked at me, his eyes filled with pain and struggle.

“What happens after that?”

“What happens after we get him out?”

"Then kill him, use his blood to sacrifice my father's heroic spirit at nine springs."

“What about us?”

He took a step closer, almost looking at me with pleading eyes.

“Jiang Xu, can we… still go back?”

Come back? I looked at his bloodshot red eyes and his haggard face. Suddenly I feel like everything is meaningless.

“Shen Dinh Chu.”

I said softly.

"From the moment you held that child in front of me and forced me to raise it, there was no going back between us forever."

His whole body swayed slightly, like a camel that finally couldn't bear the straw pressing down on it. Outside the door, Tieu Canh Diem's figure appeared. He came over and naturally took my hand.

"Xu Nhi, it's cold, let's go inside."

He didn't even look at Tham Dinh Chu, as if the other person was just an unimportant stranger. I nodded, let him hold my hand, and just like that walked past Tham Dinh Chu. At that moment, I heard a suppressed choking sound behind me, like the painful scream of a cornered animal. Half a month later, the truth was completely revealed. The person who forged military orders was Chu Dong. He is the general that my father trusted the most, the man that for more than ten years I have called him "Uncle Chu". It was he and Co Thanh An who colluded inside and out, single-handedly planning the great defeat three years ago. When Tham Dinh Chu's soldiers rushed into the palace to arrest people, Chu Dong did not resist. He just looked at me calmly and asked one question:

“When did Eldest Miss begin to doubt me?”

“From the moment my uncle knelt down to welcome me into the city.”

“Former ministry Under my father, everyone is a man of iron and bone fighting."

“No matter how excited you are, it will not be easy to kneel.”

“Uncle's attitude is too low.”

“So low that it seems like it's hiding guilt.”

He laughed miserably.

“So that's it. I still think that I have done it completely without any loopholes.”

“Why do we have to do that?”

He suddenly became agitated.

“Because Giang Vien is biased! I have followed him through life and death for twenty years, yet he wants to pass on his military power to a woman like you! Based on what?

“This Liangzhou army was built by me and him alone, so half of it must belong to me!”
