Chapter 12 — 30 Years of Stolen Identity

Copy of ID, copy of house certificate, power of attorney, purchase contract. To Phan clenched his fists, clearly tense. Mr. Trieu patted his shoulder.

“Don't worry, it'll be quick.”

The employee enters the real estate code into the system. The screen pops up with a red warning.

“This property has a complaint registered and the transaction is locked.”

The employee raised his head.

“This house is blocked and cannot be transferred.”

To Phan's face changed.

"No way! I... I agree!"

"The system shows that last Friday, owner To Nghenh registered a complaint. Within 15 days, unless she herself comes to cancel, transactions cannot be made."

Mr. Trieu frowned.

“To Phan, didn't you say you already took care of it?”

To Phan quickly:

"Maybe... maybe my sister forgot to cancel. I'll call right away!"

He took the phone and pretended to call. Mr. Trieu looked at its expression, his eyes gradually colder.

"To Phan, tell me the truth. Is this house really yours?"

“Of course it's mine!” It tries to stay calm. “It's just that my sister recently quarreled with me, intentionally causing trouble.”

“Then call her here.”

“My sister… is at work…”

“Go to work?” Mr. Trieu smiled faintly. “Thursday, 9 a.m., your sister is at work?”

He took the phone.

"Manager To Nghenh of Hoanh Dai Group, right? Let me look up the number and call."

“Mr. Trieu!” To Phan held his hand. “Don't call!”

It cannot speak. At that moment, the door of the trading center was pushed open. I walked in, along with police officer Ly of the economic investigation team, Tran Mac, and the victim's family. When To Phan saw me, his whole body stiffened. Mr. Trieu looked at me, then looked back at To Phan.

“This person is…?”

Police Officer Ly presented his branch card.

"Police. To Phan, you are suspected of falsifying state documents and impersonating someone else to defraud a loan. Please cooperate with the investigation."

To Phan's legs were weak and he almost fell. Mr. Trieu stood frozen.

“Comrade police officer… what is this?”

I walked up to the counter and picked up the "authorization form".

"The signature above is not mine. I reported this ID lost last year."

I gave the phone to the staff.

“This is my property claim registration certificate, and the certificate of identity loss report.”

The staff compares it again.

“It's definitely not the same person.”

Officer Ly looked at To Phan.

“To Phan, is there anything else you want to say?”

It stared at me, its eyes seemed to tear apart.

“To Nghenh… you plan on me…”

“I plan?” I smiled faintly. “You stole my ID, forged a power of attorney, and intended to sell my house, right?”

Mr. Trieu now regained his composure.

"To Phan! You lied to me?!"

“Mr. Trieu, listen to my explanation…”

“Explain what?!” He was so angry that his face turned red. "You said the house was yours! You said your annual salary was millions! You said you helped me get the project! It's all fake!"

He pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and threw it straight at To Phan's face.

"This is what you gave me yesterday! Proof of assets! It's also fake, right?!"

The paper fell to the ground. It's a fake bank deposit statement, showing a balance of 5,000,000 yuan. Tran Mac picked it up and took a look.

“This seal is also fake.”

Officer Ly raised his hand.

“To Phan, follow us to the station.”

Two policemen stepped up and handcuffed him. To Phan shouted.

"Let me go! I didn't commit a crime! That house was originally mine! My sister couldn't give birth, and if she died, the house would mine too!”

The entire trading hall was silent. The victim's family stepped in front of him.

“Your son beat my son into a vegetable, the hospital bill was more than 200,000 yuan. You can't pay a penny, and you still have the mind to sell your house and trick yourself into getting married?

To Phan turned away.

“That's not my child! It's To Nghenh's child!”

Officer Ly frowned.

“The results of the paternity test are out. Chu Tieu Bao is her biological child, not related to To Nghenh."

He gave a copy of the results to Mr. Trieu.

“You look clearly. This woman not only impersonated her sister to trick him, but also had a thirteen-year-old child. The ex-boyfriend is a gambler, currently detained for intentionally causing injury."

Mr. Trieu's hands trembled.

“To Phan… you…”

He suddenly rushed forward and snatched the necklace from its neck.

“I bought this for you! Give back!"

To Phan struggled. The necklace broke, the pearls scattered all over the floor. He snatched the bracelet from her hand again.

“This is mine too! That bag too! Everyone swiped my card!”

To Phan was pressed against the counter, his hands were handcuffed, and he cried without making a sound. Officer Ly pulled Mr. Trieu out.

“Mr. Trieu, property disputes should be resolved by law.”

"Law?" He had red eyes. “This woman cheated me of more than 300,000 yuan! I will sue! Sue him and put him in jail!”

Tran Mac stepped up.

“I am the legal director of Hoanh Dai Group. Regarding To Phan's impersonation as an employee of our company, falsifying his identity to commit fraud, we will also sue."

Mr. Trieu looked at me.

“Are you To Nghenh?”

“Your sister used your name to trick me, you know?”

"I know." I said. “That's why I'm here.”
