Chapter 5 — 30 Years of Stolen Identity
Deputy General Truong nodded:
"Yes. Cameras cover the entire area, the image is very clear."
“That's good.” Tran Mac turned to me. “Manager To, how do you plan to handle it?”
I glanced at the clock.
“They're probably still down there.”
“You want to get down?”
"Correct." I said. “Say it clearly in front of everyone.”
Deputy General Truong hesitated a bit:
“Wouldn't that make more noise?”
“There's enough noise already.” I'm calm. “If we don't solve it, they will still come tomorrow.”
Tran Mac nodded:
"I'll go with you. General Manager Vuong, please call the security captain to bring someone down to maintain order."
We took the elevator down. The lobby had gathered more than twenty people. To Phan stood in the middle, holding up his phone to livestream.
"Everyone, look! This is my sister's workplace! She works at a foreign company, has a yearly salary of millions of yuan, and refuses to pay for her biological child's medical bills!"
Chu Loi stood next to him and added:
"This kind of woman must be exposed! Fired!"
Several reporters raised their cameras. I stepped forward. To Phan saw me, his eyes lit up, he immediately pointed the camera at me.
"Sister! You finally came down! Do you know that Tieu Bao is still in the hospital, waiting for surgery?"
I looked at it.
"To Phan, last night you beat someone at the hospital, why didn't you think about Tieu Bao needing money for surgery?"
It froze. Comments on the livestream exploded.
“Hit who?”
“Is that what he hit someone yesterday?”
“Is there a plot twist?”
To Phan panicked:
"Don't talk nonsense! I was home last night!"
"At home?" I turned to Chu Loi. “Chu Loi, where were you last night?”
He avoids:
“I… I'm home too.”
“Are you two together?”
"No! We broke up!"
“So how do you know To Phan is home?”
Chu Loi was speechless. I turned to the reporter.
"I'm To Nghenh. Regarding this matter, I have three points to clarify."
The cameras all turned towards me.
"First, it is true that under my name there is a thirteen-year-old boy, named Zhou Xiaobao. But that is not my child. Three years ago I had a total hysterectomy. I have complete medical records proving that I cannot have children."
I took a copy of the medical record from my bag and gave it to the nearest reporter.
"Second, that child is my sister To Phan's child, born thirteen years ago. At that time she was unexpectedly pregnant, in order not to affect the marriage, she stole my ID, forged my signature, and hung the child under my name. This is the police receipt."
I gave the receipt.
"Third, the person last night who beat someone in the hospital was not me, but To Phan. He impersonated me, wore my clothes, carried the bag I gave him, and slapped the victim's parents in the hallway. This is an image extracted from the camera."
I enlarged the photo on my phone. To Phan's face appeared clearly. Comments exploded.
“Oh my god, it's exactly the same!”
“Are you pretending to be my sister?”
“Is the baby yours?”
To Phan's face turned pale and he quickly tried to turn off the livestream. Tran Mac took a step forward.
"Miss To Phan, Mr. Chu Loi, your behavior shows signs of defamation and disrupting business operations. Security, please invite you to the meeting room."
Four guards stepped forward. To Phan shouted:
"What are you doing! I came to demand justice!"
Chu Loi tried to run away but was detained. I looked at him.
"Chu Loi, you just said that To Phan is your ex-girlfriend. So how do you explain the fact that last week, To Phan used my name to borrow 800,000 yuan, but the money was transferred to your account?"
Chu Loi rolled his eyes eye.
“What…what did you say?”
"800,000 yuan. Reason for importing clothes." I moved closer. "Where is your store? Can I see your business license?"
He couldn't say a word. To Phan suddenly rushed forward, trying to snatch my phone.
"To Nghenh! You want to force me to death, right?!"
Security stopped it. I looked straight into its bloodshot eyes.
“To Phan, you forced me first.”
The meeting room was temporarily turned into an interrogation room. Tran Mac sat in the chair, I sat next to him, Vuong Le and Deputy General Truong were on the opposite side. Opposite are To Phan and Chu Loi, behind them are two guards standing.
“Miss To Phan.” Tran Mac opened his mouth. “Do you admit that you beat someone in the hospital last night?”
To Phan gritted his teeth:
"Don't admit it! It's not me!"
“So who is the person in the camera?”
"I don't know! It could be someone wearing makeup like me!"
“Doing the same makeup as you, wearing your clothes, carrying your bag?”
To Phan fell silent. Tran Mac turned to Chu Loi.
"Mr. Chu Loi, do you admit that you colluded with To Phan and impersonated Ms. To Nghenh to defraud a bank loan?"
Chu Loi panicked:
"I don't have it! That money was borrowed by To Phan himself! I don't know anything!"
To Phan immediately turned around and glared at him:
