Chapter 3 — 12 Million Yuan Compensation And 30 Years Confidentiality

But he still asked the staff to reopen the electronic file of the authorization letter. Then continue to zoom in. The ink of the signature is a very special dark blue color. Exactly the same color as the ink in my father's fountain pen. But that's not the important point. The important thing is the last stroke of that scrawled "Hua Kien Quan" signature. There is an extremely small engraving. So small that it is almost undetectable to the naked eye. That's one word. One word was intentionally hidden. Manager Luu kept his eyes glued to the screen. His mouth opened wider and wider. That word is not "Promise". Not “Ant”. Nor is it "Quan". That hidden word "Cao" is like a sharp needle. Straight into manager Liu's last line of psychological defense. The sweat on his forehead immediately fell drop by drop. He stared at the words on the screen. Then looked at me again. The fear in his eyes was no longer pretended. It's a true fear of a force at a higher level. He muttered. Lips trembling constantly.

“Could it be... Deputy General Cao?”

Right at that moment. The conference room door was pushed open. The policeman who led the team from before walked in. In his hand he held a document that had just been printed.

“Miss Hua, we have investigated.”

“Hua Cam is indeed distantly related to her father, Hua Kien Quan.”

"But that relationship is many generations old, and according to the law, it is absolutely not considered a direct or close relative."

“The copy of household registration book she provided is fake.”

Having said this, he put the file down on the table.

“But there's something more interesting.”

His eyes turned to Hua Cam and Chu Hao who were sitting on the ground.

“The mother and daughter recently had a lot of transfer transactions with a person named Cao Phuc Lam.”

“Gao Phuc Lam, male, fifty-two years old.”

The police officer paused for a moment then looked towards Manager Liu who was sweating coldly.

“Deputy general manager of East China region of Ping An Insurance Company.”

The whole room fell into silence. The air seemed to freeze. On the face of the compensation officer surnamed Vuong, there was only despair. He knew how terrifying a vortex he had been drawn into. Hua Cam and Chu Hao also turned pale. Their biggest support was overthrown on the spot. Manager Liu's body began to tremble uncontrollably. Only now did he understand. This is no longer a simple insurance fraud with internal and external collusion. It was a conspiracy orchestrated by one of the company's senior leaders. He had no way to stand aside anymore. Because he is just a chess piece. A piece can be sacrificed at any time. I broke the silence.

“Manager Liu.”

“Up to now, do you still think this was just a misunderstanding?”

Manager Luu woke up as if someone had just slapped him hard. He looked at me, his eyes filled with all kinds of complex emotions. And also... relief. He knows very well. Once he got on this boat, there was no way out. The only way to live is to hold on to me.

“It's not a misunderstanding!”

He almost screamed.

“This is not a misunderstanding!”

“This is a scandal!”

“It's corruption and rot from the company's leadership!”

Like a drowning person who grabbed a piece of wood to save his life, he immediately expressed his stance to the police.

“Comrade police, I'm ready willing to cooperate with the investigation!”

“Cao Phuc Lam relies on his position as deputy general manager, single-handedly covering the sky in the company!”

“This compensation case is definitely because he took advantage of his power to force it through!”

He washed the responsibility away from himself. Turn yourself into an innocent victim of deception and oppression. Very smart. But I'm not interested in watching him continue. I stood up. Adjust your clothes.

“Comrade police, please continue the investigation.”

“Manager Liu, take me to see Cao Phuc Lam.”

Manager Liu was stunned. Even the police were a bit surprised.

“Miss Hua, do you want to see him?”

"That's right."

“But... this could be dangerous.”

"I'm OK."

I looked at him.

“I just want to ask him a few questions.”

“About some old things related to my father.”

I picked up the old fountain pen on the table. Tighten in the palm of your hand. A cold feeling came from the pen. It's like giving me strength. What happened between dad and Cao Phuc Lam? You will find the answer yourself. Manager Luu looked at my determined eyes. He knew he couldn't refuse. After a moment of hesitation, he gritted his teeth.

“I'll take you away!”

He decided to take a gamble. Instead of waiting for Cao Phuc Lam to return to pay later. If only you could follow me right now. At least there is still a glimmer of hope. We left the meeting room. Leave behind a mess. And the three scammers are waiting for the judgment of the law. The elevator slowly went up. The number on the electronic board jumps from the 17th floor to the 36th floor. The 36th floor is the working area of the senior management. Large and cold. Cao Phuc Lam's office is located in the innermost position. There is a sign in front of the door. The two words "Deputy General" are in metallic yellow. Extremely dazzling. Manager Luu stopped in front of the door. Take a deep breath. My hand was on the doorknob but I didn't dare turn it. I'm not waiting for him. He directly raised his hand and pushed hard on the heavy solid wooden door.
