Chapter 12 — Twenty Years of Reclaiming Justice

I laughed faintly.

“But in the end.”

“She can't keep anything.”

“The only son is dead.”

"The family fortune was almost completely torn apart."

“She hates those three people.”

“More than me.”

I looked at the diary on the table.

“This diary.”

“It was the gift I sent her.”

“An invitation to revenge.”

“I want to tell her.”

“The chess piece that she abandoned for twenty years.”

“It's back.”

“I will lead the army myself.”

“Play them a big game.”

Luc Minh took the diary and left. When this piece is placed down. The chessboard of the entire capital will begin to move. Mrs. Tham. The woman has been killing in the marketplace all her life. After losing his only son. All her hopes were placed on the elder. But that year. I took Tham Chu and left the Tham family's house decisively. Cut off all her hopes. She hates me. Also resent me. But she understands better than anyone. Who is the real cause of everything? I put the opportunity for revenge back in front of you. She has no reason to refuse. An hour later. Co Bac's phone call came.

“Documents have been emailed.”

His voice sounded a bit tired and suppressed. How painful is it to investigate one's own biological father?

“It's been hard for you.”

“It's okay, Mom.”

He was silent for a few seconds. In the end, I still couldn't stand it.

“Co Truong Phong…”

“He's been looking for us all these years.”

I paused a bit.

“He used almost every connection he had.”

“Search everywhere.”

“Almost turned the whole country upside down.”

“It's just that mom hid it too well.”

I was quiet. Find us? Or want to completely kill weeds? When you can't see the entire game clearly. I won't trust anyone.

“Whenever you need it.”

“I'll find out for myself.”

I hung up. Open your email inbox. An encrypted file is sitting in the mailbox. I opened it. Tieu Chinh Duc. Co Truong Phong. The past twenty years. All information about those three people appeared before my eyes. Business empire. Social relations. Relatives. Even secret transactions cannot be brought to light. Co Bac's abilities are beyond my imagination. This dossier is terrifyingly detailed. I turned each page. Like a hunter calmly assessing his prey. Then my eyes stopped at a photo. That's Luc Khiem's family photo. He hugged an elegant woman. Next to him is a young man with outstanding temperament. Same age as Luc Minh. His name is... I frowned. I think I've heard this name somewhere. A memory flashed in my head. Nguyet Nguyet. She mentioned it before. In class there is a very excellent transfer student. Just moved in and ranked second in the entire grade. Ranked only behind Giang Ha. That person... It's Luc Vien. My heart suddenly sank. Is it a coincidence? Or is it an arrangement? I immediately called Tieu Nhien.

“Tieu Nhien.”

“Help my mother investigate a student in class 12A1 at Duc Tai school.”

“My name is Luc Vien.”

“I want all the information about him.”

Tieu Nhien's work efficiency is scary fast. Ten minutes later. He called back.

“I can look it up.”

“Luc Vien is Luc Khiem's only son.”

“Just transferred from a top international school in the capital to Duc Tai a month ago.”

“Why move?”

“The document states that he wants to experience life in normal high school.”

I laughed coldly. Experience life? Who can that reason fool? A person born at the top of the pyramid. Going on the smoothest road. Suddenly running to a small city just to "experience"?

“Have you ever been in contact with Nguyet Nguyet?”

The other end of the line was silent for a few seconds. When Tieu Nhien spoke again. The voice became heavy.

“Luc Vien used to pursue Nguyet Nguyet.”

“But it was rejected.”

I tightened my grip on the phone.

“Time?”

“Just a few days before Trieu Khai started spreading rumors.”

My mind felt like it had been hit by a bolt of lightning. All the pieces are separate. In that moment. Suddenly put together into a complete picture. Luc Vien pursued Nguyet Nguyet. Rejected. Right after that. Trieu Khai started spreading rumors. Liu Diem coordinated the suppression. Trieu Ve Dong stood behind and supported him. Everything... Is it really just a coincidence? Or from start to finish. Was Nguyet Nguyet targeted by an invisible hand? Trieu Khai began to frantically spread rumors. But Trieu Ve Dong was able to sit firmly in the position of class leader for so many years. Behind it is certainly indispensable for the support of people like Luc Khiem. This is absolutely not a normal school bullying case. It's a carefully planned plot. Luc Khiem stands behind the curtain. Father and son Trieu Ve Dong were the ones who carried it out. The target... It's my daughter. But his motive. So obvious. He wants to destroy Nguyet Nguyet. Use her to force me into submission. Force me to bring Luc Minh back to his side. A cruel move to pull firewood from the bottom of the pot. Luc Khiem is truly cruel. My whole body trembled with anger. I used to think. They just want to see me become a laughing stock. But I didn't expect it. They dared to attack my daughter again. Nguyet Nguyet is my final limit. Anyone who touches the baby. Everyone has to pay the price.
