Chapter 21 — I Return From The Deep

“The important thing is that before she left, she sent her brother a message.”

“What news?”

“'Jiang Tu Hanh, it's all because of your sister's pressure. I can't live anymore, I want to die with her'.”

The blood in my body is half cold.

【Chapter 9】 Luc Tham grabbed my wrist.

“Don't panic. It's unlikely she really came here. It could just be a trick to threaten your brother.”

“What if it's not?”

He was silent for a second. Then take the car key out of your pocket.

“Go. You can't stay here tonight.”

Five minutes later, we left the apartment. Get in the car. Luc Tham started the engine and called with one hand.

"Old Liu, help me find someone, Tong Uyen Nghi, who just escaped from Lam Hai General Hospital this afternoon. Extract the surrounding cameras. Yes, she's acting inconveniently, she must definitely call a taxi or have someone pick her up."

Hang up the phone. The car drove towards his company.

“Come to me first. There are cameras and magnetic doors. It's safe.”

I sat in the co-pilot's seat, my nails digging deep into my palms. Brain is spinning. This person Song Uyen Nghi——does she really dare to find me? She jumped from the building once. A person who has jumped from a building is someone who is truly not afraid of death. Those who are not afraid of death are the scariest.

“What are you thinking?” Luc Tham asked.

“Does she know the address where I live?”

“The apartment address… not sure. But if she asks her brother——”

Giang Tu Hanh knows. He used to come. My hand held tighter.

“Do you think your brother will tell her?”

"Not proactively speaking. But Tong Uyen Nghi lacks the means to pry the mouth of the person next to him. She has planned for so many years, the Jiang family driver, assistant, no one has ever been bribed by her."

Luc Tham nodded and said nothing more. Accelerate. Go to the office building where your company rents. Not a work area, but a mezzanine on a high floor. Where you live.

“Come in.”

Open the door. One living room, one bedroom, simple design, besides books, there is nothing superfluous. He locked the door and checked the window again.

"You sleep in the room tonight. I sleep on the sofa."

I stood at the entrance, watching him struggle. Suddenly felt ridiculous. Four years ago, people slandered me and sent him to prison. Four years later, he was chased by that person again. This life will never escape this calamity.

“Don't think anymore.” He seemed to see through my thoughts, "Sit down. Drink water. Wait for news."

I sat down on the sofa. Receive a glass of warm water from his hand. The fingertips that touched the rim of the glass were still shaking. He didn't say any words of comfort. Just sit down next to me. Shoulder to shoulder. Warmth passes through. I just feel less cold. Waited for two hours. 11:30 p.m. His phone finally rang.

"Found it? Where?"

After listening for a few seconds, his face changed. “Sure?” Hanging up the phone, he looked at me.

“She went to your apartment.”

My heart sank. “Now?”

“Half an hour ago. My people checked the cameras around there——a black taxi dropped her off at the apartment lobby. She walked in on crutches.”

“What happens after that?”

“The door is locked. Can't get in. Stay in front of the door for about ten minutes.”

“And then what?” I asked.

His eyes darkened. “Then your brother appeared.” I'm speechless.

"Giang Tu Hanh also came to your house. He probably received a message from Tong Uyen Nghi and immediately followed her. according to. The two of them encountered each other in front of the house."

“What did they say?”

“The camera has no sound. But in the picture, it can be seen—Tong Uyen Nghi is crying and pulling her brother's sleeve. Her brother kept pushing her away. The two of them struggled for about 5 minutes."

“So what?”

“Then your brother made a phone call——probably to the police. Fifteen minutes later the police arrived. Take Tong Uyen Nghi away.”

I breathed a long sigh of relief.
