Chapter 14 — In Rebirth, I Choose to Save People Before Saving Myself

The morning of the eighth day. The convoy of the Provincial Health Department has arrived. Two black off-road vehicles slowly stopped in front of the barracks gate. The car door opens. A few people in uniform walked down first. The last person to get off the bus... was a middle-aged man about fifty years old. Body a bit fat. Wear a dark colored suit. He stood next to the car. Look around the barracks. His eyes glanced over each person. Finally... Stopped on top of me. I stood in front of the tent door. Quietly look at him. He also looked at me. Deep eyes. No one can guess the feelings inside. Han Vien Son walked next to me. Gently lower your voice.

"It's him."

"Deputy Director of the Provincial Health Department."

"Trieu Khai Minh."

Trieu Khai Minh. I remember that name deeply. Han Vien Son stepped up to shake hands.

"Hello Deputy Director Trieu."

"It's been hard for Commander-in-Chief Han."

Trieu Khai Minh smiled. His eyes turned to me again.

"This is doctor Tham Thanh Tu?"

"That's right."

Han Vien Son replied.

"Thanh Tu."

I slowly walked forward. Standing in front of Trieu Khai Minh.

"Hello Deputy Director Trieu."

I nodded slightly. He looked me up and down. Evaluate very carefully.

"Surely young people are talented."

He smiled.

"Directly named by the Provincial Department of Health."

"It's really not normal."

I didn't reply.

"Doctor Tham."

He asked slowly.

"I heard..."

"You and Dr. Lam Hieu used to be colleagues."

"How is your relationship?"

I looked straight at him. It's cold inside. He knows. He clearly knows the relationship between me and Lam Hieu. Know it all.

"Normal."

I calmly replied.

"Just colleagues."

"Really?"

Trieu Khai Minh smiled faintly.

"But I heard..."

"You two used to be as close as sisters."

"That was true before."

"But now..."

"Not anymore."

He nodded. Don't ask again. Han Vien Son spoke up.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Trieu Khai Minh followed him. When passing by me. He suddenly stopped.

"Doctor Tham."

He lowered his voice.

"Eight o'clock at night."

"Come to my tent."

"I have something..."

"I wanted to talk to you in private."

I looked at him. He nodded. Keep walking. I stood still. Look at that back. There was a stir in my heart. Want to meet me alone. What are you going to do in the end? Want to show your cards? Preparing to set a trap? I do not know. But I know. Perhaps it will be the most important night. Return to the tent. I started preparing. Fully charge the battery of the voice recorder. Put it in the inside pocket of your blouse. Adjust your phone. Place it in a position where you can just lift your hand to get it. All evidence. All notes. I rearrange it all at once. I sat on the field bed. Wait quietly. Wait until eight o'clock at night. Waiting for a direct confrontation with Trieu Khai Minh. Six o'clock in the afternoon. Lam Hieu entered the tent.

"Tham Thanh Tu."

"I heard..."

"Trieu Khai Minh wants to see you?"

"Careful."

She looked at me.

"He's not a good person."

"I know."

"This time he came..."

"Not just to see you."

"And to make a move on you."

I looked at her.

"How do you know?"

"Because..."

Lam Hieu smiled bitterly.

"Previous life..."

"He hurt me the same way."

"First..."

"Approach."

"Then..."

"Set a trap."

"Finally..."

"Makes me lose my reputation."

She stopped.

"Then I died."

My heart is cold. Previous life. He killed Lam Hieu. Also harmful die me. He continues to want to destroy me. It's us again?

"Tham Thanh Tu."

Lam Hieu looked straight at me.

"Tonight..."

"You must win."

"How to win?"

"Using the trap he prepared for you..."

"Turn it over."

"Use it..."

"To destroy him."

I looked at her.

"Do you have evidence?"

Lam Hieu nodded.

"Previous life..."

"I've been quietly collecting a lot."

"This life..."

"I bring everything with me."

She took out a USB from her pocket. Give it to me.

"In here..."

"It's all the evidence that he embezzled and took bribes."

"There is also evidence of collusion with the hospital."

"All the things he used to hurt people."

I received the USB. Hold tightly in the palm of your hand.

"Why..."

"Give it to me again?"

"Because..."

Lam Hieu smiled softly.

"I want to be on the same side as you."

"You win."

"I win too."

"And if you die..."

"I will die too."

I looked at her. It's extremely complicated inside. In the end... Who is Lam Hieu? Is it the enemy? Are you an ally? Does she really want to help me? Are there still other purposes? I do not know. But I know one thing. I must win. Synonymous with death.

"...Thank."

I said softly. Lam Hieu nodded. Turn around and leave. Go to the tent door. She suddenly stopped.

"Tham Thanh Tu."

"Previous life..."

"I'm sorry to you."

"This life..."

"I want to make up for it."

I don't answer. Quietly watched her leave. I sat on the field bed. The USB still fits in the palm of my hand. My heart is still a mess. But there's one thing... It's clearer than ever. I will use this USB... Fight a battle to turn the tide. Using the same trap Trieu Khai Minh set for me... To drag him down the cliff. I will make him understand. Tham Thanh Tu... Is not someone that anyone can bully.
