Chapter 15 — After Firing Me, My Husband Lost the 6 Billion Dollar Project!
Co Canh Tham's lips turned white, his throat was speechless. Uncle Trieu - the representative of the old shareholder - stood up suddenly: "Canh Tham, what exactly is this?" General Tran, another former shareholder, also stood up: "That's right, Canh Tham, please give us an explanation." Co Canh Tham opened his mouth, then turned to look at Lam Nhuoc Khe. Lam Nhuoc Khe's face had now turned from pale to gray. She jumped up, her voice cold: "To Van, these documents of yours were all collected illegally, without any legal value. I can completely sue you for violating privacy and stealing trade secrets..."
"General Lam," Ha Tinh sitting next to me began to speak, "I am the lawyer representing Ms. To, Ha Tinh. I need to remind you that the bank statements in these documents are collected through legal channels, the statement information provided by the bank is in the scope of public information. As for business registration information, it is even more public information that can be searched. There are no items that constitute an invasion of privacy."
Lam Nhuoc Khe glared at Ha Tinh, the coldness in her eyes became even more intense.
"On the contrary, sir," Ha Tinh gently pushed his glasses, "If these money transfers really exist, then according to Article 148 of the Company Law and Article 271 of the Criminal Law, this act has signs of constituting the crime of appropriating official property, the maximum sentence can be up to 15 years in prison."
The entire meeting room exploded. The old shareholders began to discuss heatedly, some banged on the table, some looked at each other incredulously. Co Canh Tham tried to control the situation: "Everyone be quiet..."
“Order what?” Uncle Trieu's voice was even louder than his, "Canh Tham, your father entrusted the company to you, are you managing it like this? More than 200 million yuan! Do you know what he would say if your father were still alive?"
This sentence pierced Co Canh Tham's heart. He stood there, his lips trembling, but not a single word came out. At this moment, Ms. Vuong stood up. She has worked at the company for twenty years and has rarely spoken at Board of Directors meetings. But today, she spoke up.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to add one point.”
All eyes turned to her.
"I am the Chief Financial Officer of the group, every penny coming out of the books must pass through my hands. In the past year, there were actually six large sums of money transferred in the name of 'Investment in brand promotion'. At that time, I raised my doubts, but they were all rejected by Mr. Co and Mr. Lam. They said it was a development strategy and told me to just follow it."
She turned to look at Co Canh Tham.
“Canh Tham, when your father was still alive, he once told me: 'You should keep an eye on him for me. If anyone dares to touch the company's money, you must be the first to stand up and stop it.' Today, I stand up here."
Co Canh Tham's face at this moment could no longer be described by the word "pale". His whole body was shaking. Lam Nhuoc Khe turned on her heel and intended to leave.
“President Lam,” Liu Jianping's voice was not loud but powerful, “The Board of Directors meeting has not ended yet, you are not allowed to leave.”
Lam Nhuoc Khe looked back at him, smiling faintly, but the smile was filled with hatred.
“What do you want to do? interrogate me? I'm not a criminal.”
“Whether or not you are a prisoner is not for us to decide.”
Liu Jianping looked at me and signaled me to continue. I pulled out a USB from the file folder at the back and plugged it into the meeting room's presentation device.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” I said loudly, “I have one last recording, please listen to it.”
I pressed the Play button. Lam Nhuoc Khe's voice came from the speaker, each sentence was clear without missing a word. *”He's just an idiot. Wait until he helps me disperse all the company's money, I will kick him immediately."* Co Canh Tham's body stiffened. He slowly turned his head, staring at Lam Nhuoc Khe. Lam Nhuoc Khe's face no longer had any expression. The recording continued. *"He's been fired. Even if it was discovered, it would be useless, it has no proof. Wait a few months, I will arrange an unexpected accident, so that he will forever shut his mouth."* As soon as this sentence ended, the entire meeting room became extremely quiet. Everyone's eyes were focused on Lam Nhuoc Khe. She stood there, motionless, like a frozen tree branch. Uncle Trieu was the first to react, banging on the table and standing up: "Call the police! Report to the police immediately!” The meeting room door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Two uniformed police officers walked in, followed by Tham Dao. Tham Dao wore a dark windbreaker and held a file bag in her hand. She glanced around the conference room, then walked next to me, bent down and whispered in my ear.
“The denunciation was filed half an hour ago. People from the Economic Crime Investigation Police team are coming soon.”
I nodded. The moment she saw the police, the fake calmness on Lam Nhuoc Khe's face completely shattered. She turned around to rush out the door, but was stopped by a police officer.
“Miss Lam Nhuoc Khe, I request your cooperation in the investigation.”
“What right do you have to block me? Do you guys have a search warrant? Is there an arrest warrant?”
