Chapter 11 — Twenty Years of Reclaiming Justice

The sunlight outside was so bright that it hurt my eyes. I raised my head. Look at the deep blue sky above. Tham Chan Hoa. He's dead... But he still won't leave me alone. The debt he left behind. I'll take a turn with your good brothers. I took out my phone. Call Co Bac. My voice was cold as ice.

“Help mom investigate some people.”

“Luc Khiem.”

“Tieu Chinh Duc.”

“Co Truong Phong.”

“Investigate all of their financial transactions over the past twenty years.”

“Collaborative projects.”

“Business relationships.”

“And also each person's family situation.”

“I want the most detailed records.”

"Right away."

The other end of the line was silent for a few seconds. Co Bac clearly understood what those three names represented. Luc Minh's biological father. Famous real estate tycoon in the country. Tieu Chinh Duc. Tieu Nhien's biological father. The person behind a huge media empire. Co Truong Phong. Co Bac's biological father. Extremely mysterious identity. It is said that he has extensive connections in the military world. Plus Tham Chan Hoa. Tham Chu's father. The four of them were once called "The Four Young Masters of the Capital". A time of limitless glory. There are also four men who appeared at four different stages in my life. I am the biological father of four sons whom I love the most.

“Sure?”

Co Bac's voice was slightly lower. Many years. I have never allowed my children to investigate their biological father. I always tell them. Those people are dead. Their father is only one person.

"Of course."

My voice does not allow anyone to doubt.

“One more hour.”

“I want to see all the documents.”

I hung up. Then return to the hospital room. Nguyet Nguyet was sleeping. Giang Ha sat next to him. Quietly read books. Four boys stood in front of the window. They're all looking at me. The eyes are extremely complicated. They heard the phone call just now. Tham Chu was the first to speak.

“What do you want to do anyway?”

I stepped forward. Look at each child. The handsome faces bear the shadow of their father. But he is many times more resilient than their father. I only say two words. The space was immediately quiet. I continue.

“Shen Zhenhua failed in business.”

“Debt piles up.”

“Then jumped off the building and committed suicide.”

“Right after he died.”

"His three good brothers, Luc Khiem, Tieu Chinh Duc and Co Truong Phong, immediately denied all relations."

“They divided the last remaining assets of the Tham Thi group.”

“They forced my mother to sign a paper giving up all her inheritance rights.”

“They chased Mom and Tham Chu out of the Tham family villa like chasing a dog.”

I said very calmly. It's like telling someone else's story. But every sentence and every word is stained with blood.

“How many years?”

“I took the children to escape.”

“Change your name, change your last name.”

“Living in hiding.”

“I used to think.”

“Just as long as we don't show up anymore.”

“Then all resentments will gradually disappear.”

I smiled softly. A bitter smile.

“But mom was wrong.”

“There are debts.”

“Can't hide.”

“Luu Diem's story is a warning.”

“She can investigate Mom.”

“Can investigate Nguyet Nguyet.”

“Knowing our past.”

“There is definitely someone behind to help.”

“And that person.”

“Definitely among the other three.”

My eyes swept over Luc Minh in turn. Tieu Nhien.

“They don't just want to see Mom become a laughing stock.”

“They still want to destroy it everything I have.”

“They want to destroy Nguyet Nguyet.”

“I also want to destroy you.”

“Because of your existence.”

“It's a stain they can't erase.”

“It's proof that they betrayed their brothers.”

“Abandon the woman who gave birth to their children.”

The four boys simultaneously clenched their fists. Blue veins appear on the back of the hand. The anger in his eyes could almost burn anything. Luc Minh gently pushed his glasses frame. His eyes were cold as blades.

“What do you want to do, Mom?”

“We will.”

I look at them. Then burst out laughing.

“This time I don't need you guys.”

“This is a war between mom and them.”

“Your business.”

“It is to protect Nguyet Nguyet.”

“Protect Giang Ha.”

“And protect yourself.”

I took out the yellowed diary. Place on the table.

“Luc Minh.”

“Help mom pass this diary to someone.”

Luc Minh asked. I looked at the notebook. His eyes gradually became deeper.

“For Tham Zhenhua's mother.”

“Your biological grandmother.”

“Old lady Tham.”

Luc Minh was stunned. Mrs. Tham. He was once the mainstay of the Tham family. After Tham Chan Hoa passed away. The Tham family is in trouble. It was the old lady who used tough tricks to revive the whole family. A woman that even the business world must fear.

“Do you want to give her the diary?”

I nodded slightly. The corners of his lips curled up in a cold smile.

“I want her to see.”

“The son she is always proud of…”

“What did you do behind her back?”

“I want to let her know.”

“The debts that year.”

“Not everyone forgets.”

Recent years. Mrs. Tham hardly appears in public. Live in private. Don't ask about outside matters. But everyone knows. As long as she's alive. The Tham family will not collapse.

“Will you meet us?”

Luc Minh asked. I looked out the window. Distant eyes.

“I was also her pawn.”

The whole room was silent. I continued slowly.

“She tacitly allowed Tham Chan Hoa to have fun outside.”

“I also tacitly allowed those three men to insult me.”

“She thinks that.”

“Sacrifice me alone.”

“It can be exchanged for the stability of the Tham family.”

“Being able to keep my son's career.”
