Chapter 11 — The Empty Rescuer and the Female President Hide a Will

The phone number “Ba” belonged to a person who died ten years ago.

Vy picked up the phone and didn't listen. Spontaneous voice message: "Don't give the files to you two. The safe is not the last place."

I asked Vy if she recognized the voice. She shook her head, but her hands were clenched white.

Tuan found a box containing steel samples under the warehouse floor. Each bar has a code, date of entry and engineer Le Minh Quan's signature. If we take it to the inspection room, we can prove that the batch of steel was changed.

Before we could leave the warehouse, the fire truck appeared. A fire broke out in the east, smoke covering the entire camera. Someone set it on fire to erase traces.

I ran in to get the sample box. Vy pulled my hand.

“You don't have to save everything.”

“I save what can still be saved.”

The ceiling fell. I crawled across the gap, covered the box with my coat, and threw it out. Vy and Nam pulled me out of the warehouse right before the door collapsed.

After the fire, Quoc Thanh appeared with a lawyer, saying Thien Ha was not involved because the warehouse had been rented to Thanh Tin. Vy smiled coldly.

"The contract was signed by uncle. The Thien Ha seal is still on it."

Thanh did not answer.

Steel sample inspection confirms the quality is only half of the profile. The trust had reasons to suspend the project.

That night, I came home to find my mother packing.

“Where are you going, Mom?”

“Someone threatened to say I was an illegitimate child to ruin my life.”

“Are you afraid of them?”

“I'm afraid you saved the wrong person again.”

She took out an old letter from her father, saying he once asked her to sign a paper not accepting inheritance. He was afraid that if the truth came out, Quoc Thanh would use me as a hostage.

I asked why she kept the letter.

"Because I want you to know you weren't abandoned. You were just hidden for too long."

I hugged her. Vy stood outside the door, not entering.

“Come in,” I said.

Vy looked at my mother for the first time. The two women were silent, as if they were watching a part of their lives being torn away from them.

Vy's phone vibrated again. Number "Ba" sent a photo of a house by the river, the door was locked with a steel wire. In the photo is Quan.

He is alive, but in detention.
