Chapter 17 — Husband Gifted 8 Million Yuan Villa to Thanh Mai, I Recovered All Assets

16Phuong Mai had just uttered the words "Dau Dau is missing", the whole atmosphere was like being thrown hard into the lake by a stone. Everyone's faces changed simultaneously. Ha Tranh was the first person to rush forward and snatch the phone from Phuong Mai's hand.

"Who said that?"

On the other end of the line was Ha Giai Giai, his voice trembling.

"The school said Dau Dau was picked up by someone else."

"The person who picked her up brought a power of attorney, saying it was arranged by Khuong Thu Y."

My mind instantly went blank. But just a second later, I forced myself to calm down.

"Who picked her up?"

Ha Giai Giai hesitantly replied:

"A woman."

"Wear a mask."

"She said she was on lawyer Qin's side."

Tan Tri Vien's face immediately darkened.

"All my people are here."

I turned to look at Ha Tranh.

"Truly family."

"Forged signatures, impersonated identities, now you even dare to touch a child."

Ha Tranh's face turned pale.

"Not you."

"Thu Y, this is really not what you did."

I didn't pay attention to him. Immediately call the homeroom teacher. As soon as the phone was connected, the teacher's voice was filled with panic.

"Miss Khuong, I'm sorry."

"This afternoon, a woman claiming to be an assistant from the law office came to pick up Dau Dau."

"She brought her power of attorney and said lawyer Tan was waiting downstairs."

I gently closed my eyes.

"I made it very clear before."

"Other than myself and the people I registered in writing, no one is allowed to pick her up."

The teacher choked.

"The person on duty today is the new teacher."

"She didn't know about it before."

Tan Tri Vien directly picked up the phone.

"It is recommended that the school immediately seal all surveillance cameras."

"Inform security to keep the guest registration book."

"Absolutely do not let any unrelated person come into contact with those documents."

I bowed my head and opened the phone. The location on Dau Dau's watch is still there. The final stop was at a children's art center about three kilometers from the school. My heart suddenly tightened. That is where Lam Niem So used to organize activities in the past. She once posted photos in the family group, saying that she really liked children, and in the future she wanted to open an art room for children. I showed the location to Tan Tri Vien. Ha Tranh also saw it. His face immediately became unsightly.

"Lam Niem So?"

No one answered him. The answer is too clear. As soon as the car rolled away, Ha Tranh immediately chased after it. I don't stop. There are things... He should see it with his own eyes. All the way, Dau Dau's phone still couldn't connect. But the positioning signal on the watch is still moving. From the back door of the art center... Slowly move to the office building next door. I stared at the red dot on the screen. His palms were cold and sweaty. Tan Tri Vien said softly:

"The positioning is still there, proving that the baby is still safe."

I didn't reply. How can I not be afraid? I'm afraid Dau Dau will cry. I'm afraid she'll be scared. I'm afraid you'll think... Mom won't come to save you in time. When the car stopped in front of the office building, it was already dark. Surveillance cameras in the lobby showed that there was indeed a woman wearing a mask appearing. She led Dau Dau's hand. The girl bowed her head, holding her school bag in her lap. Above The woman's wrist wears a thin silver bracelet. I stared at that bracelet. His eyes gradually turned cold. It's Lam Niem So. Ha Tranh also saw it. His voice trembled.

"Is she crazy?"

I turned to look at him.

"Not crazy."

"It's because you guys have pampered her for too long, letting her think that anything in this world can be stolen."

The security guard quickly looked up the guest registration book. Registrant's name... Not Lam Niem So. Khuong Thu Y. Even the signature is exactly like my handwriting. Tan Tri Vien photographed the whole thing. The voice was so cold that it no longer had any temperature.

"Another fake signature."

The elevator screen displayed... Stop at the sixteenth floor. It is a shared office area. Just as we were about to go upstairs, my phone suddenly rang. I pressed listen. Lam Niem So's voice rang out from the other end of the line, as soft as a smile.

"Miss Thu Y."

"You came so quickly."

I tightened my grip on the phone.

"Where is Dau Dau?"

She sighed softly.

"Don't be so cruel."

"She's at my place, she's fine."

I slowly asked each word:

"What do you want?"

Lam Niem So's voice lowered.

"Sign a settlement agreement."

"Withdraw all requests for asset recovery."

"Admitting the divorce agreement is invalid."

"At the same time..."

"Renegotiate the right to raise Dau Dau."

I laughed coldly.

"Are you planning on using her to threaten me?"

Lam Niem So was silent for a moment. Right after that... From the other end of the line came Dau Dau's very small voice.

"I'm okay."

"Auntie Niem So said... as long as I sign, you'll be able to go home."
