Chapter 9 — Spring Fades In The Old Alley

Remembering when he forced Tong Chieu Ninh to ask Vuong Hai to exchange Sam Linh, when she turned her head, that white face was full of panic and confusion like a child. Remembering five years of marriage, Tong Chieu Ninh never lied to him. She is as pure as a blank sheet of paper. When happy, she would smile, arch her eyebrows and curl her eyes, then rush into his arms with a smile: "Thu Han, I'm home!" When she's not happy, she will pout and act coy to him, not even able to hide even a little bit of emotion. Even though he didn't want to admit it, to this day, he still couldn't accept Tong Chieu Ninh's death. As long as he still hears news related to her, it's as if she hasn't completely left him yet. Officer Ly stabilized his voice: "Vuong Hai said that the reason he kidnapped Sam Linh that day was because he recognized the wrong person." Luc Thu Han's heart suddenly contracted, his voice tensed. "Recognized the wrong person?" Officer Ly nodded: "Yes." "He waited in ambush for a long time, several times in a row he saw Sam Linh coming out of the house that belonged to the captain, so he mistakenly thought that Sam Linh was the captain's wife. Not as Sam Linh said, the wife of captain Tong Chieu Ninh colluded with Vuong Hai, intentionally ordering him around!" "And that's why he was able to catch Sam Linh going alone at night." late at night, it wasn't because Tong Chieu Ninh intentionally revealed Sam Linh's whereabouts, but according to his observations, every night Sam Linh secretly went to people's houses to play mahjong, so he had the opportunity to take advantage! As soon as these words were uttered, friends and relatives who came to visit in the temple immediately started talking. "Playing mahjong? That's a bad habit, participation in the team is strictly forbidden!" "That's right, if you get caught, you will be criticized Khuong Chi Vien sacrificed himself, Sam Linh is a family member, he can't get involved in this!" "Looking like that, if Sam Linh hadn't just acted haphazardly, Tong Chieu Ninh wouldn't have been dragged into this kidnapping and lost his life..." The people around took turns to be upset on behalf of Tong Chieu Ninh. But Luc Thu Han still stood still like a mountain, his expression calm without a single crack. But only he himself knows, every word is like a blunt knife cutting into his heart, making him feel so much pain that he doesn't want to live. He clenched his fist until his fingernails drew blood from his palm, then forcibly suppressed the pain. Sam Linh looked at the probing eyes of everyone present, a little panicked, wanting to pull Luc Thu Han's sleeve: "Brother Thu Han..." Luc Thu Han did not look at her, quietly avoiding her touch. "The ritual continued." Sam Linh's heart was in panic. She would rather have Luc Thu Han question her and reprimand her, but also doesn't want him to be like he is now, as if nothing had ever happened, so calm that people couldn't guess what he was thinking. After the funeral ended, Luc Thu Han returned home without saying a word. Sam Linh carefully followed behind him: "Mr. Thu Han... can you give me a chance to explain?" Closing the door, Luc Thu Han also took off his disguise. He seemed to have lost all his strength and fell down on the sofa, the bone-chilling coldness in his eyes could not be hidden no matter how much he tried. He looked at Sam Linh, his voice was hard. "You say it." Sam Linh reluctantly pulled out a smile. "Brother Thu Han, I didn't mean to..." "I know that playing mahjong is a bad habit, I don't dare let anyone know, I'm afraid it will implicate you, implicate Chieu Ninh, implicate Chi Vien's child! That's why I accidentally said something, pushing everything on Chieu Ninh. I also didn't expect there would be such serious consequences! But..." She changed her tone: "After all, this is a tragedy caused by Mr. Thu Han wanting to vent his anger on my behalf! It has nothing to do with me! Mr. Thu Han, don't blame yourself too much, who said Ms. Chieu Ninh was unlucky and encountered a stray dog?" Sam Linh said as he spoke

Observe Luc Thu Han's face. Seeing Luc Thu Han lower her eyes, not too angry, the tight rope in her heart slightly relaxed. Indeed. In Luc Thu Han's heart, her weight was still a little heavier. She always felt that a village woman like Tong Chieu Ninh was simply not worthy of team leader Luc Thu Han. She also believes that Luc Thu Han will not have any deep feelings for Tong Chieu Ninh. Thinking of this, the smile on her face became even stronger, boldly sitting next to Luc Thu Han, taking his arm. "Mr. Thu Han, don't be sad anymore. Ms. Chieu Ninh is dead and will have a good day." "Now I'm dead as a husband, you're dead as a wife, we've known each other since childhood, Dung Dung also likes you very much. Or maybe later... you'll be Dung Dung's father." OK?" Before he finished speaking, Luc Thu Han suddenly coldly interrupted. "Sam Linh, do you still need face?" Sam Linh froze: "Brother, what did you say?" Four eyes looked at each other, in Luc Thu Han's eyes there was no longer the gentleness before, replaced by a gloomy look that made people cold. He said each word, his voice filled with disgust. "I said, Sam Linh, you really have no shame." "Chieu Ninh died like that, how can you say that Chieu Ninh died and went to enjoy good days? Chi Vien was my best brother when he was alive, you were his wife, but you want me to take his place, to be Dung Dung's father?!"
