Chapter 15 — Father Wants to Divide His Estate, But the Whole Group Is in My Name
I raised my head to look at her.
"Prepare what?"
Tan Tu pursed his lips.
"What if Chu Uyen transfers assets?"
"Or she mortgaged the house..."
"No way."
"Because this morning..."
"Lam Tham has applied for asset preservation measures."
"By noon..."
"The court has already approved it."
Tan Tu was stunned.
"When did you arrange this?"
"I texted Lam Tham."
Tan Tu looked at me, opened his mouth and then closed it again. Repeat several times. Finally, one sentence came out:
"President Tham..."
"Could it be that you have planned every step in advance?"
I thought for a moment then gently shook my head.
"Not every step I plan ahead."
"I know what they will think."
Tham Quoc Luong will hesitate, will hesitate, will hold on to hope for a miracle. Chu Uyen will not be willing, will resist, will find every way to keep her interests. Tham Hao Vu will beg, will pressure, and will use his love to tie me down. All of that... It's all in the forecast. The only thing I need to do... Is stay one step ahead of them. Always being one step faster than them is enough. Day three. It's also the last day of the deadline. Nine o'clock in the morning. As soon as he arrived at the company, Tan Tu grabbed his phone and rushed straight into the office. That was the first time I saw three expressions appear on her face at the same time. Unbelievable.
"President Tham!"
"What is up?"
"Chu Uyen signed it!"
I stopped.
"What did she sign?"
"House title transfer file."
"This morning, at seven o'clock, she went to the notary office to sign her name."
"Lam Tham just sent a confirmation message."
I leaned back in my chair, quietly digesting the news. Seven o'clock in the morning. As soon as it was dawn. She went to sign.
"Who can convince her?"
Tan Tu bowed his head and looked at the message again.
"According to Lam Tham..."
"It's Mr. Tham."
"Last night he came to see Chu Uyen, the two of them talked all night."
"This morning..."
"She agreed."
Tham Quoc Luong. Turns out there was no movement all day yesterday... It was because I went to do this. Finally... He made a choice. Between going to jail and losing Chu Uyen... He chose not to go to jail. Between dignity and freedom... He chose freedom. This was the first right decision in his entire life. Being forced to choose. But at least... He chose.
"When will the name transfer procedure be completed?"
"Lam Tham said the fastest is this afternoon."
"As soon as the name is transferred, notify the legal department..."
"Withdraw the denunciation and send it to the Economic Police Team."
Tan Tu nodded. Then hesitate a bit.
"President Tham..."
"Really pulled it all out?"
"Full withdrawal."
She looked at me puzzled.
"But you said before..."
"Once the process has started, it can't be reversed, right?"
I took a sip of water.
"Because..."
"I tricked him."
Tan Tu stood still. I calmly explained:
"The documents have indeed been submitted."
"But the Economic Police Team has not yet officially filed a case."
"At this stage..."
"If you want to take it back, all it takes is one sentence."
The corner of Tan Tu's mouth twitched.
"So that means..."
"From the beginning..."
"That's all..."
"A negotiation tactic."
I put down the glass of water.
"I need him to be truly afraid."
"Not the type..."
'Girl is angry, just pay attention next time.'
"But it's kind of..."
'If you don't act, you will go to jail.'
"Only if the fear is great enough..."
"Only a person like Tham Quoc Luong agrees give in."
Tan Tu stood still and looked at me. A long time later... She took a deep breath.
"President Tham."
"From today..."
"I officially declare..."
"I will never play cards with you again in my entire life."
I laughed.
"Originally..."
"You've never won either."
Four o'clock in the afternoon. Lam Tham confirmed that the name transfer procedure has been completed. Four and a half o'clock. The withdrawal of the denunciation file by the Economic Police Team was also completed. Lam Tham sent all electronic copies of the documents to my email. I watched every part. Then close the computer. Then call mom.
"It's done."
