Chapter 17 — Twenty Years of Reclaiming Justice

I refused Co Truong Phong. Seeing the surprise and pain flash in his eyes, my heart did not waver. Start over from scratch? Twenty years of trauma. You cannot use the word "compensate" to erase it. I turned around and left the abandoned factory. Never looked back. Behind the back. Co Truong Phong's silhouette under the sunset was stretched for a long time. Lonely and pitiful. He won't do anything to me. Because he is different from the other two. He still felt guilty in his heart. But guilt. It's the best weapon I can use. When returning to the hospital. The four sons are all waiting. Seeing me safe and sound. Everyone simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

“Mom, how are you?”

Tham Chu was the first to speak.

“Luc Khiem is dead.”

I calmly announced. The entire hospital room immediately fell silent. Everyone looked at me in surprise.

“Did you kill him?”

Luc Minh's voice trembled slightly. I shook my head.

"Not."

“It's Co Truong Phong.”

I recounted everything that happened in the factory. Including the earth-shattering plot of old lady Tham. The four boys' faces all became extremely heavy. No one expected it. Behind it all lurks such a dark and disgusting past.

“That old bitch!”

Tham Chu punched the wall hard.

“She can even figure it out for her own son!”

His eyes were filled with hatred. For the grandmother who never gave me any warmth. He doesn't have a single trace of affection.

“So what do we do now?”

Tieu Nhien frowned.

“Old lady Tham.”

“Tieu Chinh Duc.”

“Co Truong Phong.”

“None of them are easy people to deal with.”

“Right now we are like being sandwiched between three forces.”

“Just one wrong step.”

"It's broken bones and broken flesh."

His analysis is very sober. Also very practical. I looked at the four boys. The greatest pride of my life. I shook my head.

“We are not caught in the middle.”

“We are the fourth force.”

“A force capable of changing the entire game.”

My eyes stopped on Luc Minh.

“Luc Minh.”

“I'll go see someone immediately.”

“Your father's own child.”

Luc Minh paused. In the document Co Bac gave me. Write very clearly. Outside Luc Vien. Luc Khiem also has a stepson who is only one year younger than Luc Minh. For many years, he was raised abroad. Living in luxury. Now Luc Khiem is dead. The Luc Thi Snake Group lost its head. And Luc Vien was caught up in a school bullying case. Reputation has fallen to rock bottom. At this time. The appearance of Tran Vu. It is the chess piece that can shake up the entire Luc Thi Group.

“What I mean is…”

Luc Minh quickly understood.

“Luc Thi cannot fall into Luc Vien's hands.”

"We can't let Tieu Chinh Duc or Co Truong Phong take the opportunity to take over."

“That corporation must be in the hands of our people.”

I looked at my son. Steady eyes.

“Tran Vu is our person.”

“I'll go find him.”

“Tell him your identity.”

“Tell him how Luc Khiem died.”

“Tell him that he is now the only legal heir to the Luc Thi Group.”

“I told him.”

“I can help him sit on that chair.”

“But on one condition.”

“He must listen to me.”

“The Luc Group will no longer belong to the Luc family.”

“But it must belong to them Hi beauty."

Luc Minh looked at me. Eyes full of shock. You didn't expect it. My goal is so big. I don't just want revenge. I want to take back everything they took away. Both capital and interest.

“I understand.”

Luc Minh pushed up his glasses. His eyes became sharp.

“Leave this matter to me.”

He turned around and left. You will definitely do it. Because inside you. Flowing with the same unyielding blood as mine. I looked at Tieu Nhien.

“Tieu Nhien.”

“I also have a duty.”

“Mom just say it.”

“What is the thing Tieu Chinh Duc values most?”

“His media empire.”

“And his reputation.”

Tieu Nhien replied without thinking. I nodded.

“Then hit those two things.”

“Find me all the scandals he has been hiding for the past twenty years.”

“From a lover.”

"Stepchild."

“To the underground transaction.”

“Not missing anything.”

“I want him to personally watch the empire he built collapse little by little.”

Tieu Nhien's eyes lit up. The corners of his lips curled into a cold smile.

“I like this kind of war.”

“No more than three days.”

“I will make Tieu Chinh Duc's name appear in every newspaper.”

"In the documents Co Bac investigated, there are all the scandals of Tieu Chinh Duc over the past twenty years."

"From suppressing opponents, manipulating public opinion, to not hesitating to fabricate fake information because of the competition for news, causing countless families to lose their homes."

“Let's rearrange everything.”

“Then find the most suitable time.”

“Bringing it all to light.”

“I want that man who lives by public opinion to also experience the feeling of being swallowed by public opinion.”

“I want his media empire to collapse overnight.”

Tieu Nhien's eyes immediately lit up.

“Mom, I'm the best at this.”

The corners of his lips curled up into an excited smile.

“I guarantee he will never have a chance to raise his head again.”

Finally, I looked at Tham Chu and Co Bac.

“You two have the most important mission.”

“Protect Mong Nguyet and Giang Ha well.”

“Old lady Tham and Tieu Chinh Duc are both cruel-hearted people.”

“They know I'm back.”

“We will definitely use every trick to deal with us.”

“Mong Nguyet is the weakness that is most easily exploited.”

“Absolutely do not let her suffer any more harm.”

“Understood?”

“Understood!”

Tham Chu and Co Bac replied in unison. The two people's eyes were as steady as steel. I looked at the four boys standing in front of me. They are the result of twenty years of patience, endurance and trade-offs. These are the four sharpest swords that I spent half my life honing. It's time for those swords to leave their sheaths. The dirty game of chess was started by old lady Tham. It will also be finished by my own hand. And this time. I am no longer a pawn being manipulated by others. I will be the leader. Is the one who decides win or lose. As a writer, all the debts that have lingered over the past twenty years have ended.
