I looked at Phuong Dung, without a trace of pity in my heart. She may hate her marriage. You can hate your difficult situation. But she can't stab other people over and over again. Especially Tieu Man. I placed the pawn receipt in the middle of the table. "Phuong Dung, is Old Tan the same person from the old pawn shop?" Her eyes avoided. Just that one dodge said a lot. Lam Tranh picked up his phone and started looking up information about that pawn shop. "This shop is still there." "The legal representative has changed once, but the old address remains the same." The police looked at him. "For now, don't contact us privately." "We will conduct verification according to the correct procedure." Phuong Dung suddenly panicked. "Don't go looking for him." Everyone looked at her. Only then did she realize she had made a mistake. The police asked: "Why wasn't it found?" Phuong Dung's lips trembled. "He's not easy to get involved with." "He'll say nonsense." Co Tue Cam sneered. "What nonsense?" "Told you to pawn someone else's gold bracelet?" "Or say you exchange a fake bracelet to return it?" Phuong Dung raised her head suddenly. "That's not a fake." "It's just a little lighter." Lam Tranh put the current bracelet back on the table. "A little lighter." a little.” “There is no engraving.” “The style of the keychain is also wrong.” “Do you call this a little lighter?” Phuong Dung's face became more and more unsightly. She suddenly rushed forward to grab the receipt. Security immediately stopped it. The police voice was serious. "Ms. Phuong, I request your cooperation." "The evidence has been photographed and kept on file at the scene." "If you continue to fight, it will only make the matter more serious." Phuong Dung finally collapsed on the chair. She covered her face, her shoulders trembling. "I just borrowed it for a little bit." "I had no intention of stealing." "At that time I really didn't have any money." "Mr. Tan said you could take it first, and then redeem it a few days later." "But then I didn't have enough money." I asked her: "So you bought a similar one and gave it back to me?" Phuong Dung did not deny it. Uncle slapped the table hard. "You're so confused!" "How could you do this?" Phuong Dung raised her head, her eyes full of resentment. "Now you're scolding me?" "That year I was kicked out by his family, dad made me go back there and be patient." "You said you didn't have money, dad told women who spend money not to spend too much." "The credit card debt collection phone call came to my office, have any of you ever thought about me?" yet?” My uncle was screamed at by her until his face turned blue. My aunt hugged her breasts and cried without a sound. The police interrupted her. "Your difficulties can be presented." "But this does not mean that you have the right to handle other people's property." "Now Old Tan's blackmail message also needs to be verified." Phuong Dung wiped her tears. "The original bracelet is still in his hand." As soon as this sentence ended, my mother's hand visibly shook. Co Tue Cam's eyes were also red. She didn't cry, just stared at Phuong Dung. "You know very well that it was my wedding gift for Duong Nhan." Phuong Dung bowed her head. "I know." "But Old Tan said that if he took it off, it would be smuggled out very quickly." "Then he said that the item had not been sold and was still in his hands." "Over the years, every once in a while he would come to me and ask for money." Lam Tranh asked: "Have you given it yet?" Phuong Dung nodded. "How many times have I given it?" "How many thousands each time." "I don't dare let everyone know." I looked at her. "So why did he suddenly look for you today?" Phuong Dung glanced at me. "Because I just texted him just now." "I asked him, do you still keep the old pawning papers?" My heart jumped. "What do you want to do?" Phuong Dung's lips moved. Are not

speak. Lam Tranh spoke for her. "You want to win before we find out, so he can destroy those documents." "Or ask him to make up a play for you." Phuong Dung's silence was an admission. At this moment, her phone lit up again. Old Qin sent another photo. In the photo, a gold bracelet sits on a black velvet background. The inside is engraved with two clear and dazzling words. Nhan Tranh. The next message immediately appeared. "At eleven o'clock tonight, bring 100,000 cash to the old place." "If not, I will expose both your past and your recent affairs." 14 Phuong Dung stared at that photo, her whole body seemed to have been drained of all its bones. I also stared at the bracelet. Seven years on, it's still there. The inscription remains. The small gold bead on the red string also remains. Just the blessings of that wedding day, hidden in dark transactions and suppressed for seven years. Co Tue Cam slowly sat down on the chair. She said nothing. Lam Tranh stepped forward and gently squeezed her shoulder. "Mom, there's still a chance to get the things back." Co Tue Cam nodded. But her eyes were always glued to the photo. "I don't have to regret gold."
