Chapter 12 — The Secret in the Basement B2

Updated 10/08/2026 4 min read

This is definitely not a temporary idea. A trap that has been buried for three years. The commander ordered all of us to return to the ground. The entire B2 basement is officially blocked. Uncle Ma was urgently transferred to the hospital. Tieu Cat and other employees were also taken to give testimony one by one. I thought I would immediately be escorted. However... After the Luong family escaped... The commander's attitude towards me changed. He didn't handcuff me. Don't separate me and Khuong San. He just said:

"Nguyen Nam Tu."

"During this time you need to cooperate with the investigation."

"Don't leave."

I nodded.

"I just have one request."

"I want to know..."

"Is the technician in my house awake yet?"

The commander looked at his phone.

"Was taken to the hospital."

"The situation is still unstable."

"If he wakes up..."

"Please notify me first."

He did not agree. Just say you will follow the correct procedure. Manh Ky An pulled me outside the blockade wire. The rain still continued to fall. The front gate of the company was filled with people. Someone took a video. There were people standing and whispering. The company chat group... It was complete chaos. Mieu Tue's phone has been sealed. However... A new message appeared in the group. Sender... It's my account.

"Nguyen Nam Tu has admitted to transferring the company's assets. It is recommended that those involved do not contact or give interviews from outside."

I stared at the screen. The fingers gradually stiffen. My phone is still in my hand. That message was sent from my company account. Manh Ky An also saw it.

"Your account..."

"Still under remote control."

I took a deep breath.

"Isn't that computer disconnected?"

Khuong San's face turned pale.

"The company system also has an administration application on the phone."

"If someone gets your dynamic authentication code..."

"Can still log in."

Suddenly... I remembered something. Last night before taking a shower... I left my employee card and authentication code generator on the cabinet at the entrance. This morning I was in such a hurry... I forgot to bring it. My door was opened by someone else. The technician lay unconscious in the living room. That means... They're not just slandering me. But it also took away all of my identity authentication tools. I immediately reported it to the commander. He immediately contacted the examination team at the scene of my house. A few minutes later... The answer arrived. My employee card. Device generates authentication code. Backup computer. All have disappeared. Manh Ky An cursed softly.

"They..."

"There are still accomplices who haven't shown their faces yet."

At that moment... Khuong San's face suddenly became extremely strange. She stared at the company chat group. Lips trembling.

"Nam Tu..."

I turned. Khuong San quietly gave me the phone. In the group... Someone just posted an old photo. The photo looks like it was taken from an archive. In the photo... It's an office building that was burned black. In front of the building stood a few people. There is Thieu Chan Hai. There is Mieu Tue. There is also driver Cao. At the outer edge... Is a man wearing a guard uniform. Looks a lot younger. Back straight. Solid body. I still recognized it at first sight. That's... Below the photo... There's a line of text.

"The night of the fire three years ago... he was also present."

The photo was just sent to the group in less than ten seconds... It was immediately revoked. But Manh Ky An was able to take a screenshot. I stared at the man in the photo. The palm of the hand gradually becomes numb. I didn't discover everything by accident. Right from three years ago... I was caught up in this incident. Khuong San asked in a trembling voice:

"Who sent the picture?"

I opened the group member list. The person who posted the photo... is an old account that has long since retired. Gray representative photo. The name is very common. The system displays... That account has just come online. Manh Ky An lowered his voice.

"An account that has retired can still join the company group..."

"Proves that the admin rights in the back have been edited."

I turned to ask Khuong San.

"Who is this person?"

Khuong San zoomed in on the account name and looked at it for a long time.

"I don't remember."

"Probably an employee who quit three years ago."

She opened the company's old personnel directory again. A few minutes later... His face became even whiter.

"Found it."

"This account previously belonged to case management."

"The name is... Han Lap Thanh."

I've never heard that name. But Manh Ky An suddenly raised his head.

"He didn't have to quit his job."

I looked at him.

"You know this person?"

"I'm not familiar."

"But once read an old article."

Manh Ky An said slowly.

"During the fire three years ago..."

"The most seriously injured..."

"It's file management."

"The article said he inhaled too much smoke."

"Took to the emergency room..."

"Then disappeared."
