Chapter 18 — Staying at Thanh Ba Host

When I heard it, chills ran down my spine. It turned out that that bracelet was not Phuong Dung's spontaneous intention alone. Lam Tranh's hand was pressed on the edge of the table, his knuckles were slightly white. Co Tue Cam also looked at her uncle, her cold eyes without a trace of warmth. "You two, one of you used my daughter-in-law's wedding gold bracelet to spin capital." "One of you dragged my niece out as cannon fodder today." "Truly a family member." Uncle was so embarrassed that he became angry. "You stop spitting blood." "Do you believe everything he says?" The police raised their hands to stop. "Everyone calm down." "Don't mix threats." "Let's talk about something at the station." Lam Tranh lowered his head and glanced at the watch. "There are two more hours until eleven o'clock." "Old Tan demands money, demands people, and also wants to use this paper to pressure my mother and Duong Nhan." "In his hand, not only does he have the bracelet, but he may also keep the original." The police said sternly: "We will arrange it." "But you are not allowed to meet on your own." I nodded. "We will coordinate." Phuong Dung suddenly smiled. "Cooperate?" "Do you think Lao Qin is easy to deal with?" "He can keep the bracelet for seven years, just waiting for an opportunity like today." She looked at me, her eyes full of resentment. "Duong Nhan, I insist on doing everything to the point of being exhausted." "Now it's good, no one wants to be clean anymore." I was not angered by her at all. "If it's clean or not, you'll find out if you check it out." "You want to pull everything." Even everyone in the water couldn't cover up the fact that she threw dirty water on Tieu Man's head." Phuong Dung's face stiffened. From behind the bedroom door came a very soft sound. I immediately turned around. Tieu Man did not come out. Co Tue Cam stepped forward and gently closed the door tightly. When she turned back, the bottom of her eyes were filled with coldness. "Tonight, no one is allowed to mention the child anymore." "Whoever keeps bringing up his story to make excuses, I will be the first to report to the police to prosecute." Uncle gritted his teeth, but did not dare to yell any more. The police asked Phuong Dung to go to the station to give a statement first. At the same time, he also asked his uncle and aunt to come along. My aunt's legs were weak and she couldn't walk steadily. My mother stepped forward to help her. My aunt held my mother's hand tightly, crying and saying: "I really don't know about thirty thousand." My mother looked at her with pale eyes. "Sister, do you know or not? Wait until the investigation is over before you tell me." This sentence made my aunt's cries choke. It was the first time I heard my mother use that tone to talk to my aunt. Don't be soft-hearted, don't give in, don't make excuses for anyone. Before being taken into the elevator, Phuong Dung suddenly looked back at me. "Don't think that getting the bracelet back will be the end of the matter." "Old Qin also has a recording in his hand." "If he really confesses my father, your mother's signature from the past will also be unearthed." I looked at her. "Let's dig up the dirt then." "Find out until the end, who owes who, who harmed whom, make it clear once." The elevator door closed. The living room finally fell silent. But this silence is more pressing than the sound of arguing. Lam Tranh walked to the bedroom door and softly coaxed Tieu Man. My mother sat in the dining chair, still clutching that old cloth bag. Co Tue Cam picked up the bracelet that had been swapped, then gently put it down again. "Fake is still fake." "No matter how many years I wear it, I can't be honest." As soon as her sentence ended, my mother's old phone lit up again. Old Qin sent a new voice message. "Don't even bother calling the police." "I'm standing downstairs in your apartment building looking here." "If Duong Nhan doesn't come down here, tonight I will reveal the child's story first." 17 Lam Tranh immediately walked to the window. Older brother

Don't pull the curtain open, just look down through the gap. The street lights in the apartment complex are very bright. The shadows of the trees fell on the parking lot, a few cars were parked in the dark area, it was not clear whether there were people inside or not. My mother's hands were shaking violently. "How does he know Tieu Man?" I looked at the old phone. "It was Phuong Dung who told him." "This afternoon she contacted Lao Tan." Lam Tranh passed the recording to the police. The police quickly called back, telling us to stay in the house, not to go downstairs, nor to respond to provocative content. The management board also increased the arrangement of security guards at the building's door. Lam Tranh locked the main door in the house again. Co Tue Cam went into the room to play with Tieu Man. Tieu Man didn't dare to sleep anymore, holding a stuffed rabbit and sitting on the head of the bed, his eyes were red. I went in, squatted down in front of her. "There are policemen outside taking care of it." "My parents are both here." "Grandma is also here." Tieu Man asked softly: "Are bad people coming to find me?" My heart felt like it was being stabbed. "No way." "I guarantee it." Co Tue Cam hugged her. "No one can come into this house to bully you." When I left, Lam Tranh contacted his lawyer friend. He spoke very briefly, clearly detailing every detail.
