Faced with being stripped of her military citizenship and sent back to Diem Le's locality, Vu Bong was as calm as an unrelated person. And her adopted brother Le Ai (Meritorious Artist Xuan Bac) because of his one-sided love for Diem Le, so he stood up to admit that he was the father of the child of Diem Le's pregnancy.
