Chapter 17 — Chess Game Grandfather's Will

Will fall into the abyss with no way out. I know very well. With their greed and stupidity. What will they choose? Vuong Kien Quan and Khuong Man looked at each other. In the eyes of the opponent. There is no awakening. Only unwillingness. And crazy. Vuong Kien Quan trembled and pointed at the settlement agreement. Hoarse voice. But full of stubbornness.

“We…”

“Reconciliation is not accepted.”

Khuong Man immediately nodded. As if afraid of being a second too late.

“We do not accept!”

“We still have a chance!”

“There is definitely a chance!”

Lawyer Ton looked at them. His eyes seemed to be looking at three people who had been sentenced to death.

“Do you choose option B?”

Vuong Kien Quan gritted his teeth. Use all your remaining strength. Say every word.

“We…”

That moment. I gently closed my eyes. An image of my grandfather sitting by the window appeared in my mind. He once told me:

“In this world.”

“The hardest thing to change is not fate.”

“It's human greed.”

I finally understand. He never wanted to challenge them. He just wanted to give them one last chance. To prove it yourself. That they really don't deserve it. The moment Vuong Kien Quan shouted those three words. The air in the whole room seemed to freeze.

“We... choose B!”

Volume is not loud. But it brings with it the final madness of a gambler who has lost everything on the gambling table. Khuong Man was still kneeling on the ground crying bitterly. This moment. The crying suddenly stopped. She raised her head. There was no more begging in his eyes. Only resentment remains. The kind of resentment of someone who is cornered. She put her hands on the table. Staggered and stood up.

“We choose B!”

She repeated it again.

“We don't believe it!”

“I don't believe dad is so unloving!”

“This company belongs to our family!”

“On what basis would it be entrusted to an outsider like you?”

“We still have a year left!”

“We can definitely win!”

Didn't know she was cheering herself on. Or is he launching his final challenge to me? The veteran directors behind me all looked incredulous. Perhaps in their entire lives they have never met this kind of person who is both stupid and greedy. The most beautiful way back. Most presentable. Already placed in front of you. But they pushed it out themselves. Then choose the path that leads straight into the abyss. Lawyer Ton did not show any surprise. He just calmly looked at them. It's like looking at two patients who have been diagnosed with no cure. But I still believe that some worship can help me recover from my illness. He nodded slightly.

“If you have chosen so.”

“We respect that decision.”

He took another file from the briefcase. The cover clearly states: Confirmation of Additional Terms of Matching Agreement

“Mr. Wang Hao.”

“Please sign here.”

He pushed the file and pen towards Vuong Hao. Vuong Hao was still sitting on the ground. The whole person trembled. Looking at the stack of papers in front of him was like looking at a death sentence.

“I didn't sign…”

He cried and shook his head.

“Dad... mom..."

“I don't want to sign…”

“I'm so scared…”

“Shut up!”

Vuong Kien Quan shouted loudly. He yanked his son up from the ground. Press down on the chair.

"Refuse!"

“Afraid of what?”

“Dad is still here!”

He grabbed the pen. Stuffed into Vuong Hao's hand. Then held his son's hand. Press each stroke. Every stroke one. Sign at the bottom of the document. It's not a signature anymore. Which is more like a selling mark. Use your own future. Use the whole family's destiny. To bet. Lawyer Ton took back the file. Check carefully. Then put it in your bag.

"Alright."

He stood up.

“From this moment on.”

“Additional terms of the matchmaking agreement officially come into effect.”

“The loss of 51,300,000 yuan will be counted as Wang Hao's personal debt.”

“At the same time, it is included in the cost of fulfilling the betting obligation.”

“One year later.”

“On this day next year.”

“The advisory council will conduct a final audit.”

“If it fails…”

He looked at Vuong Kien Quan whose face was as gray as ash.

“You all know the consequences.”

He turned to me. Gently nodded.

“Advisor Khuong.”

“My work is temporarily complete.”

“The rest.”

“Give it to her.”

“It's been hard.”

I calmly replied. Lawyer Ton led the whole team out of the office. There was only me left in the room. Board members. And my aunt's family. These people are now like eggplants knocked down by frost. I slowly stood up. Step in front of them.

“If you guys are that confident.”

I look at each person. The tone is leisurely.

“Then I wish you luck.”

“Power of the President.”

“For the time being, I will still return it to you.”

“Continue to be my strategic advisor.”

“I will keep my eyes open.”

“Look at you guys.”

“Look at you guys creating miracles.”

“Or look at you people being crushed to pieces.”
