Chapter 22 — Twenty Years of Reclaiming Justice

Mrs. Tham, Tieu Chinh Duc and Co Truong Phong were all stunned. Their eyes simultaneously turned to Co Bac. The boy who speaks the least. He is also the person that others cannot see through the most. Co Bac slowly walked next to me. Cold eyes swept over everyone. Finally stopped on Tieu Chinh Duc's body.

“Do you think you're the only one who knows how to leave?”

Tieu Chinh Duc's face turned pale.

“I... I don't understand what you're saying!”

"Not understand?"

The corner of Co Bac's lips slightly raised. He raised his hand. An officer in military uniform immediately brought over a stack of documents.

“Three years ago.”

“He through his media company, in collusion with marketing accounts, manipulated stock prices.”

“Two years ago.”

“He hired people to create fake news, forced a businessman into bankruptcy and then acquired his company at a cheap price.”

“A year ago.”

“He illegally transferred assets abroad through charity funds.”

“A month ago.”

"He secretly met seven times with the person in charge of the Luc Thi Group, planning to devour assets after Luc Khiem encountered trouble."

Every word spoken. Tieu Chinh Duc's face became even whiter. To the end. He could barely stand.

“No way…”

“These things…”

“How do you know?”

“Because you are so stupid.”

This time it was Luc Minh who spoke up. He took off his glasses. His eyes were sharp as knives.

“You think all the evidence has been destroyed.”

“But you forgot one thing.”

“There is no system in this world that leaves no trace.”

“There is no secret that will never be dug up.”

Tieu Chinh Duc looked at Luc Minh. A look of despair gradually appeared in his eyes. He finally understood. Young people in front of me. They are no longer the children of yesteryear. They have grown up. Each person is a force capable of shaking up an entire world. Which is the scariest. They are standing on the same side. They all stood behind the woman named On Thanh.

“I lost…”

Tieu Chinh Duc burst out laughing. Bitter laughter.

“Ha ha ha...”

“Old lady.”

He turned his head to look at Mrs. Tham.

“You win forever.”

“In the end, I lost to a woman.”

Mrs. Tham sat motionless. Don't say a word. Just for one day. She has aged a lot. Like an old tree whose life has been drained away. Tieu Chinh Duc looked at me again.

“On Qing.”

“I admit defeat.”

“But before I die…”

“I want to ask you a question.”

“Why didn't you take revenge twenty years ago?”

“Why didn't you come back until now?”

I looked at him. Answer calmly.

“Because twenty years ago.”

“I still have to raise my children.”

“I don't have time to hate you guys.”

“Hate cannot raise a child.”

“But love is possible.”

I turned my head to look at the four boys. His eyes became gentle.

“So the past twenty years.”

“What I do is not revenge.”

“It's about doing your best to raise your child to adulthood.”

“I want them to become kind people.”

“Become a competent person.”

“Become someone who doesn't need to bow their head no matter where they stand.”

“Now they do.”

“That's why I came back.”

“It's not because I'm stronger than you.”

“But because I have nothing to fear anymore.”

The whole street fell into silence. Tieu Chinh Duc was stunned. Co Truong Phong was also stunned. Even the old lady Tham also gently closed his eyes. Because they all understand. The thing that defeats them. Not a conspiracy. Not power. It's not money either. It's twenty years of a mother's perseverance. Old lady Tham slowly stood up. Her back was no longer as straight as before. She looked at Tham Chu. Hoarse voice:

“You hate me very much, don't you?”

Tham Chu was silent for a few seconds. Old lady Tham was a little stunned.

"Because I still remember the person who is worthy of my hatred."

“I never considered them relatives.”

Those words. It hurts more than any knife. Mrs. Tham staggered back a step. Tears finally fell. First time in twenty years. The woman who once conquered the entire business world. Just quietly looking at the spiritual relic of Tham Chan Hoa on the altar. Light incense smoke rose. I gently closed my eyes. I suddenly felt a sense of relief like never before. Twenty years. This debt. It's time to end it. Co Bac walked next to me. He looked at Co Truong Phong. There was no father-son affection in their eyes. Only coldness and scrutiny remained.

“Co Truong Phong.”

“Do you really think no one knows what you do?”

He spoke slowly.

“He took advantage of his position to smuggle weapons.”

“Cultivating mercenary organizations abroad.”

“You think everything is perfectly hidden?”

“You think the person standing behind you can protect you for the rest of your life?”

Co Truong Phong's face completely changed. Even more unsightly than dead people. That is his biggest secret. It is a trump card that helps him be strong enough to confront Mrs. Tham and Tieu Chinh Duc. He never thought. These things were investigated so clearly. But the one who holds it all. It's my biological son.

“You... how did you know?”

His voice trembled.

“I don't want others to know.”

“Except don't do it.”

Co Bac's voice was still calm.

“From the first time you sent someone to follow us.”

“I have already started investigating you.”

“All the people you installed next to me.”

“Every sentence they say.”

“Every single thing they do.”

“It's all under my supervision.”

“Including the fact that you will appear here today.”

“Including the fact that Tieu Chinh Duc intended to detonate a bomb in this house.”

“Everything.”

“It's all part of my plan.”

Co Bac's words made everyone present take a cold breath. The quietest young man. The person who seems to least exist. He also has a deep and terrifying mind. The real person holds the chess piece in his hand. It's you. Co Truong Phong was completely desperate. He understands. I lost. The biggest secret is kept by his own son. He no longer has any cards to turn the situation around. On the other side. Tieu Chinh Duc was also stunned. He looked at Tieu Nhien. The son he had never respected in his entire life.

“It's you…”

He pointed tremblingly. Finally awakened.

“That news was released by you!”

“Not Mrs. Tham!”

Tieu Nhien burst out laughing. A smile full of sarcasm.

“Just now realizing?”

“Isn't it a bit late?”

“My dear father.”
