Chapter 19 — The Rain Stops, I Also Awake From Dreaming

“Every payment has documents.” "And you, you better think carefully about what you're hiding." When being taken away, Tham Hao turned his head to look at me. “Manh Duong, I will come back and beg you.” I don't answer. After he was taken out of the room, Tran Nha suddenly held the wall and sat down. She lowered her voice and said: "He also has a safe." Everyone looked over. Tran Nha's face was pale. “At the company.” “He said there was something inside that made you not dare to divorce.” 18 Tran Nha's words were like a nail in the ears of everyone in the hospital room. Father looked at lawyer Han. Lawyer Han picked up the phone. “Location of safe.” Tran Nha raised her hand to wipe her tears. “In his office there is a break room.” “There is a secret compartment behind the wardrobe.” “I went there once.” “He didn't show me, just said it was the last card.” Phuong Mai's face changed drastically. “You shut up!” Tran Nha raised her head. “What are you afraid of?” Phuong Mai's lips trembled non-stop. "That's Tham Hao's company's stuff, it has nothing to do with you guys." Lawyer Han asked: "Mrs. Phuong, do you know what's inside?" Phuong Mai immediately denied. "I do not know." “How should I know?” Her mouth said she didn't know, but her eyes subconsciously glanced at the door. Father told his assistant: "Contact the company, first don't let anyone near Tham Hao's office." The assistant nodded, quickly walked out to make a call. I leaned against the head of the bed, an indescribable cold feeling rising in my heart. Something that can make me not dare to divorce. What else can he use to threaten me? Image. Record. Fake debt. Or identification documents and blank pages with my signature? I thought I saw him clearly. But he is like a rotten well, the deeper you look, the more foul-smelling mud you see. Father noticed my insecurity, lowered his voice and said: "Don't be afraid." “Whatever it is, there is a way to handle it.” I nodded. “I'm not afraid.” But when he said that sentence, his throat was still tight. Tran Nha suddenly said: "There's one more thing." She looked at me and then at father. “Before, Tham Hao said something when he was drunk.” “He said Manh Duong is too clean, so clean that it makes people hate him.” “He said that if one day they divorced, she would not be able to continue working at the company.” My fingers tightened slightly. Father's eyes darkened. “Did he say what he would do?” Tran Nha shook her head. “Not specific.” “Just say there's something on her computer.” I suddenly looked at lawyer Han. “My computer bag is in the back of the car.” Lawyer Han immediately reacted. “The truck that crashed last night has been towed away.” “I will immediately request that the items in the car be secured.” Father said in a low voice: "Send someone to the traffic police parking lot." “Computers and portable hard drives must be taken back.” I remember that hard drive. Inside there is a copy of the house camera, as well as my company documents. If Tham Hao had intervened before, the consequences would not have been small. The nurse saw that my face was not right and reminded me: "You can't continue to worry now." I smiled bitterly. “I also want to not worry.” “But they didn't give me time to breathe.” Dad sat down next to the bed. “Give it to dad.” “You just need to remember one thing.” “Don't be soft on anyone anymore.” At this time, lawyer Han answered the phone and returned. “The things in the car are still there.” “But it's the parking lot staff
Half an hour ago, someone called, claiming to be the car owner's husband, asking to take the computer bag from the trunk." My heart beats strongly. Father stood up. “Have you taken it yet?” "Not yet." Lawyer Han said: "Because the car is related to the accident investigation, the request was denied." “But the call recording was saved.” I slowly exhaled. Tran Nha lowered her voice: "Maybe Tham Hao's subordinate." “Tieu Ngo next to him often does these things for him.” Father turned to his assistant. “Investigate that person thoroughly.” The assistant answered from the door. Finally, Phuong Mai couldn't sit still anymore. She turned around to leave. Police officers stopped it. “Mrs. Phuong, you are not allowed to leave for now.” Phuong Mai shouted: "I didn't break the law." “On what basis do you stop me?” Lawyer Han calmly said: "You were involved in prying open doors, transferring property, sending people to take relics and admitted verbally many times just now." “Whether it's illegal or not is not up to you to decide.” Phuong Mai's legs were weak, she held onto the wall. Finally, she stopped scolding me and looked at my father. “The in-laws.” “I was wrong.” “I was really wrong.” “He told them to let me go home. I will advise Tham Hao to divorce." Dad didn't even look at her. “You are no longer in a position to negotiate.” Phuong Mai looked at me again. “Manh Duong, mother begs you.” “As long as you nod, mother will never enter your door again.” I looked at her. “When you forced me to kneel last night, did you think you would beg me today?” Her face was gray, her lips moved but she couldn't say a word. Tran Nha grabbed the back of the chair and suddenly asked: "If there are my things in the safe, can I get them back?" Lawyer Han replied: "It's possible if things legally belong to you."
