Chapter 17 — When I Left My Grandfather's House, I Only Took My Daughter With Me

“Just might get the attention of the authorities.”

“Let me help you in the back temporarily.”

"Of course."

“Co Dinh Tham is not a fool.”

“Late or early.”

“He will also suspect you.”

“But at least.”

“We can buy some more time.”

"I got it."

I was silent for a few seconds. Then ask again.

“So the investigation team came to Co Thi today…”

“It has nothing to do with this.”

Tham Du Minh lowered his voice.

“It's another case.”

“The Co Thi's capital rotation in the new land bidding project.”

“There was already a problem.”

“I've been tracked by my opponents before.”

“Whistleblowing file.”

“It was sent a few days ago.”

“The clues you provided.”

“Probably only bothers some people.”

“Speed up the pace of action.”

“Brings a new direction of investigation.”

That's it. Co Thi was already standing on the brink.

My "rock".

Maybe just clever. Fall right onto the ice. Preparing to crack.

“What about my divorce?”

“That's exactly what I wanted to say.”

Tham Du Minh's voice became more serious.

“For now.”

"Suspicions have arisen related to Co Dinh Tham's other issues."

"So the division of assets after divorce."

“Same with your custody dispute.”

“Progress will most likely be affected.”

"Even."

“It is likely that you will be asked to merge.”

“Or postpone.”

“That's not necessarily a bad thing.”

“If Co Dinh Tham's other issues are verified to be true.”

“Then the nature of his fault during the marriage.”

“It would be much more serious.”

“It would be more beneficial for you to regain your legal rights.”

“But at the same time…”

“The risks will also be greater.”

“If Co Dinh Tham finds it difficult to escape.”

“It is very likely that he will use more extreme methods.”

“Find a breakthrough on your part.”

“Destroy evidence.”

“Distract everyone.”

I tightened my grip on the phone.

“Lawyer Tham.”

“Do you have any suggestions?”

"The first."

“In the near future.”

“You and Noan Noan should try to keep your whereabouts a secret.”

“Restrict going out.”

“Pay attention to safety.”

“I asked a trusted friend.”

“Keep an eye out for the area near where you live.”

“All documents related to Co Dinh Tham.”

“Or the Co Group.”

“Even what you remember.”

“Everything must be carefully arranged and preserved.”

“But absolutely don't reveal it to anyone easily.”

“It's also the most important thing…”

He stopped. It seemed like he was considering how to express himself.

“Previously, you mentioned a few things related to Lam Vy Vy.”

“Apart from her relationship with Co Dinh Tham.”

“And the status of the three children.”

“Is there anything else?”

“Any unusual details.”

“Everything can be valuable.”

My heart tightened slightly. I try to remember.

“She works very carefully.”

“There are almost no loopholes left at the Co family.”

“It seems she is especially interested in Co Dinh Tham's schedule.”

“Especially private meetings.”

“Once.”

“I accidentally heard her calling.”

“Very urgent voice.”

“It seems like you're asking…”

‘Have you got your things yet?’

‘We must ensure that no negligence occurs.’

“I kept thinking.”

“That is an important document of Co Dinh Tham.”

“She has a very strange habit.”

“Always keep your bills safe.”

“Even shopping vouchers seem to have no value.”

“Get in one old box with lock.”

“That box looks over.”

“It doesn't look like a valuable container.”

“But she kept it very carefully.”

“At that time I didn't think much.”

“I just thought she was frugal.”

“Or have a hobby of collecting.”

The other end of the line was silent for a few seconds. There was only the sound of Tham Du Minh's fingertips gently tapping on the table.

“The locked box…”

He repeated softly. Then continue talking.

“This information is very helpful.”

“For now, you just stay motionless.”

“Take good care of yourself.”

“And Noan Noan.”

“Everything outside.”

“Just let me handle it.”

“No matter who is looking for you.”

“Tell you something.”

“Don't meet in private either.”

“Don't agree to anything.”

“Please contact me immediately.”

"I get it."

“Thank you, lawyer Tham.”

After hanging up. A long time later. I still can't calm down. Tham Du Minh's last question about Lam Vy Vy. Made the doubts in my heart even worse. On Lam Vy Vy's body. Still hiding another secret? Related to Co Dinh Tham. Even the troubles that Co Thi Group is facing? In the Co family's villa. I'm afraid it's become a mess. Different from the angry scene I imagined. In the office. Again the atmosphere was quiet. Heavy to the point of suffocation. Co Dinh Tham stood in front of the large ground-level window.
