Luc Thua Binh wants to say don't change. But Ha Minh Vien only asked him one question. "Do you dare to guarantee that in the future your family will not use the key to enter the house again?" Luc Thua Binh was silent. He can't guarantee it. Because even the first time he couldn't hold on. After installing the new lock, Tham Ngoc Cam put two new keys in her bag. She again, in front of everyone, asked Luc Thua Binh to hand over the old key. Luc Thua Binh put his key on the table. Tham Ngoc Cam asked. "Is there anything else?" Luc Thua Binh's throat choked. "It's over." Ha Minh Vien's face darkened. "Luc Thua Binh." "You'd better think carefully before speaking." Luc Thua Binh's fingers gradually tightened. A few seconds later, he pulled out a small printed receipt from his wallet. "Your father's place, there's still an old key." The whole house was quiet for a moment. The angry expression on Luc Duc Hai's face stiffened. Tham Ngoc Cam looked at that small receipt, her voice cold and emotionless. "You gave her house key to someone else without Ha Ninh's consent?" Luc Thua Binh's lips turned pale. "I thought she was a family member." Tham Ngoc Cam's eyes became even colder. "Before today, each of you thought so." "That's why you consider her house to be the common living room of your Luc family." Luc Duc Hai was so angry. laughed. "How about I take a key to my son's house?" Ha Minh Vien said. "You keep this sentence and tell the police." Luc Duc Hai finally shut up. By early evening, the building manager sent the preliminary entry and exit records. Tham Ngoc Cam opened the file and looked at it. During the past half a year, when Ha Ninh worked the night shift, the number of times Luc Duc Hai's access card was recorded was up to a dozen times. Three of those times, Luc Thua Binh was not home. Luc Thua Binh stared at those times, his face gradually becoming gray. Tham Ngoc Cam continued to scroll down. One of those times was the afternoon of the fifteenth day of last month. In the image extracted from the camera, Luc Duc Hai and a strange middle-aged woman entered the elevator. The woman was also carrying a red cloth bag in her hand. Ha Minh Vien zoomed in on the image and frowned. "Who is this person?" Luc Thua Binh glanced at him, his whole body stunned. That's Luc Duc Hai's distant relative. He was also the person that the Luc family previously wanted to introduce to his cousin. But on that day, Ha Ninh's family lost a new unopened blanket and two boxes of premium tea. At that time, Luc Thua Binh also said that perhaps Ha Ninh put it away and forgot it. Tham Ngoc Cam raised her eyes to look at him. "Now, do you still think she forgot?" Luc Thua Binh's throat seemed to be blocked by something. The building manager sent another elevator video. In the video, when Luc Duc Hai left, the red cloth bag clearly swelled a lot. The packaging exposed outside the cloth bag is the packaging corner of the new silk blanket that Ha Ninh bought for her parents. Tham Ngoc Cam held the phone tightly, her knuckles turning white. Luc Duc Hai's face finally changed color. Just as he was about to jump up and grab the phone, Ha Minh Vien took a step back. "Don't touch it." "This part must also be submitted to the police." Luc Duc Hai's chest heaved. "It's just a blanket, do you have to do that?" Tham Ngoc Cam looked at him. "It's not a blanket." "It's because you guys have never considered Ha Ninh the owner of this house." As soon as he finished speaking, Luc Thua Binh's phone rang. It's the police station calling. He picked up the phone and only heard a few sentences, his face suddenly turned pale. The police on the other end of the line said. “The ring is missing, there are clues

already." 11 When Luc Thua Binh ran to the police station, it was already dark. Luc Xuan Mai sat on a bench in the hallway, his eyes crying until he was swollen. Vuong Chi Cuong lowered his head, his hand clutching a disposable paper cup, the rim of the cup was almost crushed. Luc Duc Hai and Truong My Quyen also arrived. Tham Ngoc Cam and Ha Minh Vien followed. The police officer placed a record on the table. "The ring was taken to a store. bought another small business, and was forced to change the price." Luc Thua Binh's mind was ringing. "Who gave it away?" The police looked at Vuong Chi Cuong. Vuong Chi Cuong gritted his teeth. "I'm not selling." "I just asked people to set the price." The police said. "The camera in the store filmed very clearly." "You gave the ring to the store owner, the other person gave you the cash." The blood on Vuong Chi Cuong's face completely disappeared. Luc Xuan Mai immediately cried. "He just It's just a moment of confusion." "Lately, our family is tight on money, so he was forced to the limit." Tham Ngoc Cam looked at her. "So because you guys are tight on money, you came to steal my daughter's things?" Luc Xuan Mai rolled her eyes and glared at her. "Don't speak so harshly." "We're all relatives, so what's the point of borrowing a little?" Ha Minh Vien asked coldly. "If you borrow the ring, then decide when to use it." pay?” Luc Xuan Mai was speechless.
