Chapter 18 — The House She Left Behind

I pressed listen. Luong Van Bach's voice came. “The jade of peace is very useful.” I didn't scold him. I'm afraid that if I open my mouth, I will be led by anger. He seemed very satisfied with my silence. “Duong Duong, don't think I'm too ugly.” “I didn't hurt your mother.” "Now she can sit, have water to drink, and has much more dignity than Tuong Thua Trach did at that time." I watched the street lights recede quickly outside the window. “What do you want?” “Very simple.” “You go to the second floor of Chinh Phuong Graphics.” “Record a confirmation video.” "She admitted that she voluntarily transferred half of the compensation benefits for renovating the old area to Tuong Thua Trach company to pay employee salaries and debt to suppliers." “Your mother's part was also confirmed by herself.” I heard police officer Khuong next to me write the address on the paper. “You said the stolen money sounds like a good deed.” Luong Van Bach sighed softly. “You young people always like to divide things into black and white.” “It is true that Tuong Thua Ze owes salary.” “Staff waiting for money to save lives is real.” "Your family will receive compensation to renovate the old area, which is also true." “I just let the money flow to where it is needed more.” I asked coldly. “So the two million yuan at Dinh Hanh Consulting is also a more needed place?” Luong Van Bach burst out laughing. “Workers also have to eat.” “Duong Duong, don't pretend like you don't care about money at all.” “If you really only care about fairness, you should now agree to save the thirty-seven employees first.” I didn't respond immediately. Because I know this is what he does best. He pushed the victim to stand facing the victim. Making each person think that they are saving the life of someone more pitiful. And he himself always stands in the middle, taking out the biggest part. I said. “I want to hear what mom has to say.” The other end was silent for a moment. Then came Ha Ngoc Tran's voice. “Duong Duong, don't come.” Her voice was shaky but very clear. “Mom, it's okay.” “Don't sign.” The bridge of my nose stings. Luong Van Bach quickly took his phone back. “A deep love between mother and child is a good thing.” “But my patience is not much.” “Half an hour.” "If you don't come, I will send the statement of Ha Ngoc Tran's card, her video and Ha Ngoc Mai's explanation to the staff group and owner group." “At that time, everyone knew that the Duong family took money to save their lives and then regretted it.” The call ended. The car was completely silent. Police Officer Khuong said. “He is forcing you to admit it publicly.” “As long as you record a video, it will be very troublesome to deal with later.” I looked at the black phone screen. “So we can't let him follow his own rhythm.” La Khai suddenly called. “I went to Chinh Phuong Graphics.” “The lights on the second floor are on, but the rolling door is half open.” “I saw Ha Tam's car.” Officer Khuong immediately asked. “Have you seen Ha Ngoc Tran?” La Khai lowered his voice. "Are not." “But I saw Luong Van Bach.” “He was standing by the second floor window.” “There are a few people next door.” "Wait." La Khai's voice suddenly changed. “What he held in his hand was not a file.” “It's a live streaming stand.” The next second, my phone showed a group message. It is a temporary group of owners in the project to renovate the old area. Someone sent a live stream link. Written title. The owner voluntarily gave up compensation at the scene, giving priority to saving thirty-seven employees demanding wages. 19 When I clicked on the live stream link, the image lit up. The lens is directed at a long table on the second floor of Chinh Phuong Graphics. On the table is a confirmation of compensation for renovation of the old area, a list of employees demanding salaries and a few copies of transfer statements. Ha Ngoc Tran sat at the table, her face pale. Her wrists were not tied, but two people standing on either side blocked her way. When she saw the camera, her first reaction was not to avoid it. She raised her head, her voice trembled but she tried to speak clearly. “I never took that money.” “I also never agreed to transfer my daughter's compensation money to anyone.” Very quickly, many people flooded into the live broadcast room. Someone shared in the group of owners renovating the old area. There are also people

I shared in the employee group of Tuong Thua Trach company. Comments run very quickly. Someone scolded Tuong Thua Ze for being unethical because he owed his salary. Someone scolded our family for not being able to save us. Some people also asked whether this was a drama or not. Luong Van Bach did not show his face. His voice came from outside the camera. “Auntie Ha, you can't just say half of it.” “The account in her name once received 1.7 million yuan.” "She herself also said that she agreed to let Tuong Thua Ze use the revolving house." Ha Ngoc Tran's fingers tightened. She looked out of the frame. “That card is not for me to use.” “That video has been cut.” Luong Van Bach smiled slightly. “Anything can be said to be cut.” “But staff salaries are real.” “Supplier debt is also real.” “You Tang family received so much relief money, taking half of it to save people, isn't that too much?”
