Chapter 5 — The Secret in the Basement B2

Updated 10/08/2026 5 min read

The man named Luong turned to look at the rear of my car. The white van was still parked there. The front of the car is completely concave. Driver Cao stood holding his arm in the rain, his face gloomy. The two guys holding the crowbar just now had been hiding their murder weapons. As for Thieu Chan Hai... He calmly put the umbrella back together. He even leisurely smoothed his sleeve cuffs. The crazy chase just now has never happened before. Only now do I understand. He dared to blatantly act right in front of the company's door... Not because of great courage. He had prepared a retreat in advance. The man named Luong knocked on the glass door again.

"Get off the bus."

Khuong San suddenly grabbed my shoulder tightly.

"Don't come down."

Her voice was hoarse.

"They'll take us back."

Of course I know. But the front of the car crashed into the fence. The engine sound also became unusual. Ahead is them. Behind is a van. We are locked in this iron shell. I lowered my head to look at the phone. Manh Ky An is still holding the phone. I deliberately spoke loudly.

"I can get out of the car."

"But first, I want to say something in front of the police cameras."

The corner of the man named Luong's eye twitched slightly.

"You have no right to make demands."

I calmly replied:

"Then you guys just keep smashing the car."

"How many people are looking around?"

"I also want to see... how you guys will write the report."

At this time, there were many cars stopped on the side of the road. Many people raised their phones to film. No matter how heavy the rain... It can't stop curious people. The man surnamed Luong turned his head to look at Thieu Chan Hai. Thieu Chan Hai's face was still very calm. But the hand holding the umbrella handle was covered in blue veins. A few seconds later... The man surnamed Luong nodded. I immediately stuffed the piece of paper behind the phone case. Then send the recording file to Manh Ky An again. I opened the car door. Rainwater immediately drenched half of my body. As soon as I set foot on the ground... My knees were weak and I almost collapsed. At the moment of impact, the left leg hit hard under the steering wheel. Even now, I'm still numb from the pain. Khuong San also got out of the car. As soon as she stood firm... Mieu Tue rushed forward, raised his hand and grabbed her bag.

"The company documents are in there!"

Khuong San shouted and quickly retreated back. I immediately grabbed Mieu Tue's wrist.

"How long are you going to act?"

Mieu Tue's eyes were full of ferocity.

"Nguyen Nam Tu."

"It's all because of you."

"If you hadn't brought old Ma home last night..."

"He didn't have a chance to talk nonsense."

I looked straight at her.

"So..."

"Uncle Ma was really killed by you guys."

Mieu Tue's face immediately turned pale. She quickly closed her mouth. It's too late. A person standing nearby whispered softly:

"Is someone dead?"

The other person immediately raised the phone and turned it higher. Finally, Thieu Chan Hai also stepped forward.

"Miao Tue."

He only called once. Mieu Tue looked like she had just been slapped. Immediately retreat behind him. I looked at the video camera on the traffic policeman's chest.

"I want to report."

"In basement B2 of my company, someone died."

"At the same time, there are more than ten employees being illegally detained."

The man named Luong immediately interrupted.

"If you don't have evidence, don't speak indiscriminately."

I pulled out the piece of paper from the back of the phone case. The piece of paper was damaged by rainwater soaking wet. The edges of the paper have curled up.

"This is what the dead man personally delivered to me last night."

Thieu Chan Hai's eyes immediately turned cold. Driver Cao also took a step forward. The man named Luong reached out to grab it. I immediately backed away.

"Can't give it to you."

"I will directly hand it over to the criminal police."

The Luong man's face darkened.

"You are hindering the investigation process."

I raised my phone.

"I even have the recording."

That one sentence... Like a rock thrown straight into a calm lake. The expression on Thieu Chan Hai's face finally cracked. He stared at me, his voice low and scary.

"What did you record?"

"Everything you just said about the piece of paper."

I calmly replied.

"Even the call last night, when Uncle Ma told me not to come."

"And what Mieu Tue just said..."

'If it lasts any longer, they'll all wake up.'

In the middle of the rain. Mieu Tue staggered and took a step back. She pointed straight at me, her voice completely lost.

"You... you're talking nonsense!"

I didn't reply. Just press the play button. From the phone came Uncle Ma's hoarse voice.

"Don't come..."

Just two words. The surroundings immediately fell into silence. Right after that... It was Thieu Chan Hai's voice on the call just now.

"That piece of paper... is with you, right?"

Thieu Chan Hai's face turned pale. The man named Luong immediately put his hand on my phone. I raised my head and looked straight at him.

"What are you afraid of?"

A flash of anger flashed in the man's eyes with the surname Luong. Just as he was about to grab the phone... A black SUV suddenly braked on the side of the road. The car door opened. Manh Ky An took an umbrella and rushed down. Behind him were two people. One person carries a specialized camera. The other person holds a business card in his hand. In the middle of the rain, Manh Ky An called out loudly: I was just about to respond... Then suddenly a loud explosion rang out from the basement of the building. It sounded like something extremely heavy had just knocked the iron gate off. Right after that... In the distance, screams suddenly rang out. I immediately turned my head to look back.
