Chapter 13 — President Lu, We Are Just Trade Negotiators

“What else did Uncle Lam say?”
"He said... a long time ago, the old man from the To family left an old man from the Luc family. He asked if you knew the content of that letter."
To Niem Duong put down the watering can.
"Know."
“You know?” Ha Nhac's voice carried surprise.
“When my father wrote that letter, I was standing right next to him.” To Niem Duong wiped his hands. "After he finished writing, he sighed and said: *'I hope that kid can use it'*. At that time, I asked him what he wrote. He said..."
She stopped for a moment.
“He said, *'I'm teaching a blind man how to open his eyes'* .”
* Eleven o'clock noon. To Niem Duong sat in his office, in front of him was the latest intelligence information compiled by Ha Nhac. Liu Shaokun's story is more complicated than she expected. Behind the "Vien Duong Association" is not only the underground capital line of Southeast Asia, but also involved an organization that she originally did not want to touch too soon - the secondary branch of the Thinh family. People from her maternal side. To Niem Duong's mother is Thinh Van Thuong, who comes from the eldest branch of the Thinh family overseas. 28 years ago, she married To Hac Nien, gave birth to To Niem Duong, then three years later she passed away due to illness. But the Thinh family is not a unified block. The conflict between the primary branch and the secondary branch has existed for a long time. When To Hac Nien was still alive, he used his wealth and tricks to suppress conflicts between the two sides. When he passed away, the second branch began to emerge. And during the three years that To Niem Duong married into the Luc family, the subordinate branch thought she had retreated from the core power circle, so they took the opportunity to gnaw away a lot of assets abroad. Vien Duong Hoi is a chess piece of the secondary branch. Liu Shao Kun fled there, meaning that Luc Thi's insider was not simply a commercial spy - but a secondary branch of the Thinh family that borrowed Luc Thi's cover to launder money and disperse assets. To Niem Duong picked up the pen on the table and drew a simple relationship diagram on a white piece of paper. *Luc Thi -> Luu Thieu Khon -> Vien Duong Hoi -> Thinh family's second branch.* She drew a circle under the name "Thinh family's second branch", inside the circle write a name. Thinh Hoai Vien. Her biological uncle. Her mother's younger brother. At the same time, he was also the person who sought to gain custody of To Niem Duong after her mother, Thinh Van Thuong, passed away. When To Hac Nien was still alive, Thinh Hoai Vien did not dare to take action. As soon as To Hac Nien lay down, Thinh Hoai Vien spent five years plotting and plotting to swallow all of Niem Duong Capital's overseas assets. One of the reasons why To Niem Duong froze Quyen Niem Duong three years ago, marrying into the Luc family to become an invisible shadow - was to wait for Thinh Hoai Vien to reveal an opening. Now, an opening has appeared. Liu Shao Kun is that clue. She picked up the phone and made a call.
“Uncle Lam.”
“Mistress.”
“Where is Thinh Hoai Vien recently?”
The other side of the phone was silent for a few seconds.
"Three days ago he was still in Singapore. But yesterday's flight history shows that he has returned home."
“Where to?”
“…Back to Hai Thanh.”
Hai Thanh. It's the city she lives in. To Niem Duong held the phone tightly, his eyes focused on the horizon outside the window.
“Does he know about you?”
"That's probably it. At your press conference yesterday, it's hard not to know."
To Niem Duong said yes.
“Let's hurry then.”
"Miss, you have to be careful. Human Thinh Hoai Vien..."
“I know.” To Niem Duong replied. "He won't come directly to you. He'll find someone he can use to test your limits."
“Who do you think he will find?”
To Niem Duong did not answer immediately. She glanced at the relationship chart on the table. *Luc clan -> Luu Thieu Khon -> Vien Duong Hoi -> Second branch of the Thinh family -> Thinh Hoai Vien.*
