Updated 10/08/2026 4 min read

Day eleven. Lam Hieu was able to get out of bed. I helped her. Slowly walk around the barracks.

"How do you feel?"

I asked softly.

"Much better."

She smiled.

"Thank you..."

"Saved me."

"You also saved me."

I smiled slightly. Lam Hieu looked at me. The two of us looked at each other. Then we laughed together. The first smile... No longer taking precautions.

"Tham Thanh Tu."

She spoke softly.

"Let's talk a bit."

"What are you talking about?"

"Talk about our enemies."

"Tell me..."

"What must be done to defeat him?"

I nodded slightly. The two of them found a quiet corner in the barracks. Quietly sit down. Lam Hieu was the first to speak.

"Trieu Khai Minh..."

"Just a chess piece."

"Really big fish..."

"It's the Director of the Provincial Health Department."

"Zhu Jianguo."

I was stunned.

"Zhu Jianguo?"

Lam Hieu nodded.

"Previous life."

"It is he who is behind the controls of Trieu Khai Minh."

"Using Trieu Khai Minh to harm us."

"This life..."

"He hasn't given up yet."

"Why..."

"He must harm us?"

"Because..."

"We know his secret."

Lam Hieu said slowly.

"Previous life."

"We're both just pawns."

"Knowing too much."

"So..."

"Must die."

I was speechless.

"What secret?"

"Fraud in the medical field."

Lam Hieu clenched his hands.

"He took advantage of his power."

"Collusion with hospitals."

"Appropriation of health insurance money."

"Previous life."

"We found out."

"So..."

"Gagged."

I finally understand. Everything. It all comes from a secret. A secret... That Chu Kien Quoc is determined not to let anyone know.

"This life..."

"Does he keep doing that?"

Lam Hieu nodded.

"Even..."

"The scale is even bigger."

"Trieu Khai Minh..."

"Just his white gloves."

I nodded slightly.

"What should we do?"

"Collect evidence."

Lam Hieu replied.

"Just like the previous life."

"Collect all the evidence."

She stopped.

"Then denounce him?"

Lam Hieu shook his head.

"Cannot denounce."

"Because..."

"It's useless to denounce."

"Above him..."

"There's still someone backing you up."

"So what to do?"

"Using his own tricks."

Lam Hieu looked at me.

"To deal with him."

"He likes to set traps."

"We'll prepare a trap for him."

"A trap..."

"Make him walk in himself."

I looked at her.

"What trap?"

"A trap..."

"Make him lose his reputation."

"Never have a chance to raise my head again."

I was speechless. There was a stir in my heart. In the end... what kind of person is Lam Hieu? Does she know that much? Just like me. So thirsty for revenge?

"Lin Hieu."

I looked at her.

"Previous life..."

"How did you end up dying?"

Lam Hieu was silent for a long time. She smiled bitterly.

"He killed him."

"He set a trap."

"Falsely accusing me of embezzlement."

"Receive bribes."

"I'm fired."

"License revoked."

"Finally..."

"Suffering from depression."

"Jumped off a building and committed suicide."

I looked at her. Heart heavy. We are really similar. All were harmed. They were all kicked out of the hospital. They all died in despair. The person behind. It's always the same person.

"This life."

I slowly reached out my hand.

"We will make him pay."

Lam Hieu looked my hand. Gently nodded.

"Together."

"From now on."

"Together."

The two hands clasped each other tightly. That moment. Between us. No longer the enemy. For the same goal. Because of the same hatred. The real war. Just getting started. Twelfth day. We officially begin the layout. Lam Hieu was in charge of collecting evidence about Zhou Kien Quoc. Han Vien Son is in charge of contacting people who can still be trusted in the province. Responsible for developing the entire action plan. Each person has their own mission. Everyone gave their all. Everyone understands. If this time fails. It will truly end. There will be no third rebirth. Three people sit together. Continue to discuss.

"Zhu Kien Quoc is very careful."

Lam Hieu said.

"He won't take the bait easily."

"We need a big enough bait."

Han Vien Son's voice was deep.

"What bait?"

The two of them looked towards me at the same time.

"It's you."

Lam Hieu replied.

"You are the person directly named by the Provincial Health Department."

"Chu Kien Quoc..."

"Very interested in you."

"If you take the initiative to join the army."

"It's very possible..."

"He will accept."

"To join the army?"

I frowned.

"What do you mean?"

"Pretend to betray us."

Lam Hieu said calmly.

"Pretending to be on Zhou Jianguo's side."

"Win his trust."

"Collect all the evidence."

I quietly looked at her. In our hearts... A plan was gradually forming that was even more daring than we had imagined.

"What are you here for?"

The woman looked at me. Cold eyes.

"I'm coming..."

"On behalf of Chu Kien Quoc, he threatened her."

I calmly replied.

"He wants you to keep your mouth shut."

"You know too much."

The woman suddenly burst out laughing. A bitter smile.

"Finally..."

"He still comes."

She raised her head to look at me.

"I will not be silent."

"It's been so many years."

"I'm tired too."

I looked at her. Gently lower your voice.

"I'm not from Zhou Jianguo."

She was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

"I came to save you."

I took out the tape recorder from my pocket. Place on the table.

"From now on."

"Our conversation..."

"Will become evidence."

The woman looked at the recorder. Then look at me.

"I'm Tham Thanh Tu."

"One person..."

"I was also harmed by Chu Kien Quoc."

Her eyes immediately changed.
