Chapter 16
Chapter 16 — 12 Million Yuan Compensation And 30 Years Confidentiality
After hanging up the phone. A long time later I still couldn't calm down. Cao Phuc Lam's actions were too unusual. He hates me to the core. How could you leave me an apartment worth 30,000,000 yuan? This is definitely a problem. The next morning. I went to Giang Son Nhat Pham apartment complex according to the address provided by manager Luu. This is the most luxurious residential area in the city. Security is surprisingly strict. After presenting all documents. I was just allowed in. Cao Phuc Lam's apartment is located on the 38th floor. It is the highest floor of the building. An elevator. Only serves one apartment. When the elevator door opens. In front of me is a thick carpeted hallway. Extend straight to the large door at the end of the hallway. Manager Luu was already waiting. Next to him was a lawyer wearing a neat suit.
“You're here.”
Manager Liu immediately bowed. Give me a set of keys.
“Here is the key to the apartment.”
The lawyer also stepped up. Hand me a file.
“This is the will written by Mr. Cao Phuc Lam himself.”
“We have assessed.”
“Completely legally enforceable.”
“According to the will.”
“This apartment is now fully owned by you.”
I received the keys and documents. My heart is still full of vigilance. I'm not in a hurry to open the door. But read the will carefully first. The content is very short. Just a few lines.
"I, Cao Phuc Lam, voluntarily leave apartment number 3801, building A, Giang Son Nhat Pham area in my name to Hua An, daughter of Hua Kien Quan, after my death."
“Use this to pay back what I owe him.”
It is Cao Phuc Lam's signature. Same bright red fingerprint. Does he really feel remorse? I looked at the closed door in front of me. It always feels like there's a huge secret behind it. Or some danger. I see I'm still motionless. Manager Luu spoke up cautiously.
“Or... let us come in with you?”
"No need."
I shook my head.
“You two just wait outside.”
Whatever is behind the door. I also have to face it myself. This is the final ending between me and Cao Phuc Lam. I took a deep breath. Insert the key into the ignition. The door opened. A stream of cold air mixed with the smell of perfume and dust poured out. I pushed the door. The scene inside made me a bit stunned. The apartment is decorated extremely lavishly. But also extremely empty. Large living room. There is only a sofa set and a tea table. Besides that, there's nothing more. The entire space exudes a cold feeling. Not a bit human. Exactly like Cao Phuc Lam. I slowly walked through each room. Check each place. Working room. Dressing room. Everything is empty. In addition to basic furniture. There are no signs of life. This place doesn't look like a house. It's like a luxury model apartment. Or a carefully choreographed stage. I entered the office. Inside there is only one giant bookshelf taking up the entire wall. And a black desk placed opposite the ground-level glass door. My eyes were immediately attracted to an item on the table. It was a black velvet box. Lying quietly right in the middle of the table. I stepped forward. Inside is not jewelry. Nor are they documents. It's a fountain pen. A Hero pen is exactly like the one used by my father and uncle Truong Vi. This is it third pen. Cao Phuc Lam's pen. I picked it up. The pen body is cold. Unusually heavy. Instinctively. I unscrewed the pen body. There is no ink cartridge inside. There was also no piece of paper. There was just a very small metal object. It's a silver key with a strange shape. What is this key used to open? I looked around the room. Finally, my eyes stopped at the giant bookshelf. Look at the outside. It's completely normal. But when I tap on it. Again, an area on the right edge was detected emitting a hollow sound. I immediately examined it more closely. After a few minutes of searching. Finally discovered it on the side of the bookshelf. An extremely discreet keyhole. And its shape. Fits perfectly with the silver key in hand. My heart started beating fast. I put the key in the lock. Then rotate slightly. A sound rang out. Right after that. The right side of the bookshelf slowly opened inward. Revealing the back... A secret room that no one has ever seen. A giant safe hidden inside the wall appeared before our eyes.
