Chapter 11 — When I Left My Grandfather's House, I Only Took My Daughter With Me

“Which direction is she going?”

“Drive what?”

“What is the license plate number?”

I held the teacher's hand tightly. His voice was distorted because of panic. The teacher was also startled by my threat. Hastily trying to remember. Can only say car model. As for the license plate... I don't remember it completely. My hands were shaking. Immediately call the police. Immediately call Tham Du Minh. Attorney Tham's voice immediately became serious.

"Calm."

“Send me all the information you know immediately.”

“I will think of a way right away.”

“Please contact Co Dinh Tham.”

Co Dinh Tham. I trembled and dialed the number I knew by heart. I will never call again. The bell rang for a long time. Just when I thought no one would answer the phone. The other end of the wire finally connects.

“Diep Thanh Uyen?”

Co Dinh Tham's voice rang out. The surrounding is very noisy. Looks like he's outside.

“Co Dinh Tham!”

“Did you ask Lam Vy Vy to take Noan Noan away?”

“Give me back Noan Noan!”

I screamed at the phone. All the calm I tried to maintain... It collapsed in that moment. The other end of the line was silent for two seconds. Co Dinh Tham's voice was full of annoyance. Again a bit skeptical.

“Lam Vy Vy took Diep Noan Noan away?”

“Don't talk nonsense.”

“Vy Vy she…”

He hasn't finished speaking yet. A gentle female voice interrupted. Vaguely transmitted.

“Dinh Tham.”

"What's up?"

“Is it Thanh Uyen?”

“Are Tu Hien and the kids making trouble again?”

“I'll be right over.”

“Where are you?”

“Who are you with?”

I shouted loudly.

“I'm at the company.”

“Staying with Vy Vy…”

Co Dinh Tham responded reflexively. Then immediately stopped. The voice became cold.

“Diep Thanh Uyen.”

“What are you mad about?”

“Don't play these tricks.”

“I don't have time to play with you…”

“Co Dinh Tham!”

I interrupted him. His voice was sharp with anger and fear.

“Noan Noan was picked up from kindergarten in the name of 'biological aunt'!”

“If it wasn't Lam Vy Vy…”

“That's my mother!”

“If Noan Noan has any destiny…”

“I will risk my life for your entire family!”

I immediately hung up. Tears welled up. Not because of weakness. But out of anger. And helpless. I reported to the police. Wait for the police to come take statements. Check the blurry camera footage in front of the kindergarten gate. They are all as long as if they were placed in a pan of hot oil. Tham Du Minh also quickly ran over. He uses his connections. Coordinate with the police. Expand search scope. It's getting dark. I sat on a cold chair in the police station. Both hands clasped the phone tightly. His eyes stared at the door. Mind is empty. Only the image of Noan Noan's fear remained. Huddle into a ball. Co Dinh Tham did not call back. Neither does Lam Vy Vy. It's like it's completely disappeared from the world. Didn't they really do it? But besides them... Who else will cause harm to Noan Noan? Just when I was almost about to be overwhelmed by despair. The phone suddenly rang. It's a strange phone number. Local. I quickly picked up the phone. My hands were shaking so much that I almost couldn't hold the phone. The other end of the line. Immediately, Noan Noan's voice rang out. Bring the cry. But still clear enough.

“Noan Noan!”

I jumped up. Tears immediately welled up.

“Noan Noan!”

“Where are you?”

“Are you okay?”

“Who is with you?”

“Mom… I'm okay…”

“A very angry woman took her child to a house big."

“She scolded me…”

“Still pinching me…”

“An uncle is coming.”

“He argued with her.”

“Then take me out…”

Noan Noan sobbed as she spoke. The words are still jumbled.

“Which uncle?”

“Noan Noan.”

“Can you give him the phone?”

My heart felt like it wanted to jump out of my chest. There were a few rustling sounds on the other end of the line. Right after that. A low male voice. Bring some fatigue. Slowly lifted up.

“Hello Ms. Diep.”

“I'm Tran Mac.”

“Mr. Co Dinh Tham's personal assistant.”

Co Dinh Tham's assistant?

“Where is Noan Noan?”

“How is the baby?”

“Who took her away?”

I kept asking questions.

“Miss Diep, rest assured.”

“Now little Noan Noan is very safe.”

“In my car.”

“It's the old lady.”

“She was suddenly confused.”

“Let someone pick her up.”

“I want to use this method to force you to give in.”

In Tran Mac's voice. There was a hint of helplessness. The same shyness is difficult to recognize.

“After knowing about it.”

“General Manager Co is very angry.”

“Now I have returned to the old house to talk to the old lady.”

“He told me to immediately bring little Noan Noan back to you.”

“About twenty minutes.”

“We're going to your apartment complex.”

Chu Bich Hoa! Indeed she is!

“Did she hurt Noan Noan?”
