Chapter 7 — The Day You Abandoned My Mother and My Child in the Middle of the Airport

“Last time…”

“It's the tenth day of the seventh month.”

“It was two days before you two arrived in Sanya.”

July tenth. Two days before arriving in Sanya. She went to see a divorce lawyer. Yet after that... She still took her daughter with him to Sanya. Still living all five days like a normal family. She cooked breakfast for him. Take a walk with him by the beach. Even on the way to the airport. Also help me adjust the collar of my shirt. How did she do that? Ly Minh Trach suddenly found Tham Niem extremely strange. She is no longer the gentle, patient, and forgiving wife she once was. It's a woman... So calm it's scary. It was a look he had never seen before.

“Further investigation.”

His voice was hoarse.

“Investigate everything about her.”

“Arrange for me to meet that lawyer.”

“General Manager Ly.”

“The lawyer refused to meet.”

“Speaking of which, it is related to customer privacy.”

“Then think of a way.”

Ly Minh Trach hung up the phone. Throw the phone hard on the sofa. He stood up. Go up to Niem Niem's room on the second floor. Pink wall. Toys are piled high on the floor. On the small bed, there is still the stuffed rabbit that Niem Niem loves the most. He picked up the rabbit. Bring it closer and smell it. The familiar scent of milk still lingered on her body. He remembered the day Niem Niem had a fever. Tham Niem sent him a photo. Only answer one question correctly.

“You decide for yourself.”

He squeezed the stuffed rabbit in his hand. His eyes suddenly turned red. He didn't let his tears fall. I am Ly Minh Trach. CEO of a real estate corporation. Assets over hundreds of millions. Calling the rain and calling the wind in the marketplace. Just a woman. You cannot be overthrown. He put the rabbit down. Pick up the phone. Make another call.

“Help me find someone.”

“Tham Niem.”

“Thirty-four years old.”

“Bringing a three-year-old girl.”

“Search nationwide.”

"Hotel."

"Flight."

“High-speed train.”

“All records.”

“I want it all.”

He stood in front of the window. Quietly looking at the dark night outside. The lights in the city are bright. Like a giant eye. Coldly staring at him. What he didn't know was. Under the same night sky. Tham Niem is sitting on the balcony of the new house. Hold Niem Niem in your heart. Quietly review all the evidence saved on your phone. Documents for opening hotel rooms. Transfer statement. To Man's pregnancy check-up card. Audio recording of Aunt Vuong's testimony. She is waiting. An opportunity. And that opportunity. It's almost here. Another nine days passed. Ly Minh Trach has completed eighteen days. There is no news about Tham Niem. During those eighteen days. He mobilized all possible relationships. Private detective. Acquaintances in the police agency. They even asked people with connections in the gangster world to inquire. Tham Niem is like a drop of water mixed into the ocean. Doesn't leave any traces. Her ID card has never been used. Bank cards also do not generate transactions. The phone number is always turned off. High speed train. Couldn't find any records. Even Niem Niem's vaccination book and birth certificate. Never appeared at any medical facility. A woman. Bring a three year old child. How can it disappear without a trace? She had prepared in advance. Old Chu, Ly Minh Trach's private detective. Sitting opposite him. He placed a thick set of investigation reports on the coffee table. Ly Minh Trach picked it up. Turn each page. His face became more serious. During the past half year. Tham Niem opened three bank accounts. The total balance exceeded twelve million yuan. Six million yuan is the design fee paid by Dinh Thinh Real Estate Group. The remaining six million yuan. Comes from a real estate mortgage loan. Mortgaged assets. It is the investment apartment that the two bought after getting married. On the certificate of ownership. Only write Tham Niem's name.

“When was the certificate for that house made?”

Ly Minh Trach's voice was tense. Old Chu flipped through the documents.

“Three years ago.”

“At that time, my wife said she wanted to buy a house for her mother to retire in.”

“I signed the consent form.”
