Chapter 4 — 12 Million Yuan Compensation And 30 Years Confidentiality

The office is very spacious. One side of the wall is completely ground-level glass doors. From here you can see a panoramic view of the bustling city below. A man wearing a high-end tailored suit is standing in front of the glass door. Turn your back to us. He never looked back. But the voice rang out.

“Manager Liu, who gave you permission to bring outsiders here?”

Manager Luu's legs were shaking.

“Deputy... Deputy General Cao..."

“This is Ms. Hua An, daughter of Mr. Hua Kien Quan.”

“She...she has something to ask you.”

Cao Phuc Lam slowly turned around. He was about fifty years old. Hair is neatly combed. Behind the gold-rimmed glasses are sharp and calculating eyes. When you see me. He did not show any surprise. As if everything was under control. He nodded slightly as a greeting. Then point towards the sofa set opposite. That look is extremely arrogant. As if I wasn't the victim who was coming to demand compensation of tens of millions of yuan. It's just an employee coming to report to work. I don't sit. Which went straight to his desk. Place the old fountain pen on the shiny table top. The sound is very quiet. But it made the whole room tense. Cao Phuc Lam's eyes stopped on the pen. His pupils constricted ever so slightly. Cracks finally appeared on the calm face.

“This pen…”

“My father's relics.”

I calmly replied.

“He's been using it for thirty years.”

“Since you two were apprentices at Hong Tinh Mechanical Factory.”

Cao Phuc Lam's eyes became deep. He took off his glasses. Slowly clean each lens.

“Your father is a man who cherishes his old love very much.”

"That's right."

I looked straight at him.

“He also always remembers a lot of old things.”

“For example, he often told me that Uncle Cao was a capable person.”

“Grateful to those who helped me.”

“Never forget your roots.”

"He also said, that year if it weren't for my father, perhaps Uncle Cao would have..."

I haven't finished my sentence yet. But Cao Phuc Lam understood. His expression immediately darkened.

“What do children know?”

"It's an adult's business, don't mess around with it."

The voice began to carry a warning.

“Originally, I didn't want to find out.”

I looked straight into his eyes. Don't avoid it at all.

“But you shouldn't touch my parents' money.”

“That's the money they exchange their lives for.”

“He found someone pretending to be a relative to receive money.”

“Forged signature.”

“Employee bribery.”

“Deputy General Cao…”

“Is that how you repay the favor from the past?”

Cao Phuc Lam slowly put his glasses back on. The eyes behind the glass were now completely cold. The eyes behind the glass immediately turned cold.

“I don't understand what you're talking about.”

“Any errors in the compensation settlement process are the responsibility of subordinates.”

“The company will investigate, handle and give you a satisfactory explanation.”

“But if you want to pour all that dirty water on me, that's too naive.”

He denied it outright. At the same time, he tried to use his aura to suppress me. Next to him, Manager Liu was so stressed that he could barely breathe. I smiled.

“It seems my father is also a foresighted person.”

“He often said, as a person, you must always leave yourself a way out.”

“That's why he always kept the old newspaper about the house fire Hong Tinh Mechanical Factory that year.”

“He said, the truth is in that newspaper.”

“He also said, if one day he is no more, someone will bully me…”

“Then give that newspaper to the police.”

Cao Phuc Lam's body suddenly stiffened. The movement of cleaning the glass in his hand stopped. The air in the office seemed to be drained in the blink of an eye. The fire. Those three words were like three sharp blades, piercing straight into the layer of calm he was trying to build. He stared at me. There was no longer any contempt or warning in his eyes. It's surprising. He gritted his teeth and could only get out one word. But in the end, he regained his composure. Or rather, the coldness is more terrifying than before. He leaned back in his chair. Laughed softly.

“Little girl, your imagination is so rich.”

“Are you threatening me?”

“I'm just telling the truth.”

I calmly replied.

“That newspaper is now at my house.”

“Deputy General Cao, guess what…”

“If I hand it over to the police, will you still be able to sit firmly in this position?”

He said nothing. Just quietly looked at me. A long time later. He reached out and pressed the button on the desk. A voice as cold as ice rang out through the intercom.

“Please ask this young lady out.”

Two tall guards quickly rushed in. One person stands on the left. One person stands on the right. Hold my arms tightly. I don't protest. When being dragged out of the office. I turned my head to look at Cao Phuc Lam.

“Cao Phuc Lam.”

“My dad even said something.”

“Those who are in debt will have to pay the price sooner or later.”

“Your peaceful days are about to end.”

The moment the door closes. Cao Phuc Lam's face was completely distorted with anger.
