Chapter 17
Chapter 17 — Forced to return 80 tables, I overturned the divorce table and left them empty-handed
If I'm strong enough. Then my father... would not have suffered such a disaster. The emergency room door finally opened and the doctor walked out, his voice serious but not as tense as before.
“The patient was overexcited and overworked, leading to myocardial infarction.”
“Luckily we were brought there in time, the danger is now over.”
"But it is necessary to be hospitalized for monitoring. The patient absolutely must not be subjected to any further stimulation."
My hanging heart… finally lowered by half. My father was pushed out and transferred to a regular hospital room, still wearing an oxygen mask, his face was gray, and he was in a deep coma. My mother sat by the bed, holding his hand, silently shedding tears, no longer able to cry out loud. I stood there watching for a moment, then turned around, went out, took out my phone, and made a call.
“Help me make an appointment with Tan Lam.”
My voice was so cold that even I felt strange.
"Right now."
The other end of the line was silent for a second, it was the bodyguard Lam Trach Than sent to protect me.
“Miss To, President Lam told you not to meet her.”
“I said, I want to meet her.”
I emphasized every word, not allowing any room for negotiation.
“If she doesn't meet, just say it again.”
“I will stand in front of Lam Thi Group's gate and wait until she comes out.”
Half an hour later, the phone rang.
“Mrs. Qin agreed to meet you.”
“At Lam Thi's rooftop cafe.”
I hung up the phone, went back to the hospital room, and looked at my father one more long time. Dad... don't worry. I will not let you suffer needless frustration. This debt... I will reclaim every penny. I arrived at the Lam Thi Group building. The first time I stepped into this place, I clearly understood the gap between the two worlds. The towering building, the glass reflecting the sunlight, every detail exudes power and money, like a silent declaration of the Lam family's position. I walked through the splendid lobby, entered the private elevator, and went straight to the top floor. Tan Lam was waiting. She still maintained her noble appearance, wearing a sophisticated outfit, holding an expensive cup of coffee, as if she was enjoying a play. Seeing me, the corners of her lips curled up, the smile of a winner.
“Finally figured it out?”
“Come and beg me… or come and get 1,000,000 yuan?”
I didn't respond to that ridicule, I just pulled up a chair and sat down opposite her, my eyes were so calm that it made the atmosphere around me slacken.
“General Qin, please bid.”
She paused for a moment.
“What is the price?”
“My father's factory, if you want it, I'll sell it to you.”
I speak slowly, each word clearly. She burst out laughing, as if she had just heard the most ridiculous story.
“Is that tattered workshop of yours… worth my bid?”
“To Van, you think too highly of yourself.”
“I want it to go bankrupt, I want your whole family to go out.”
“What can you do to me?”
Her eyes were so cold that they could almost kill. I nodded slightly.
“Okay, I understand.”
I took out my phone and pressed open a recording. Her voice... rang out clearly in the quiet space.
“Is that tattered workshop of yours… worth my bid?”
“I want it to go bankrupt, I want your whole family to go out.”
Tan Lam's face immediately changed.
“You dare record?”
Her voice rose. I didn't answer, continued to open another file. A detailed report, recording all public cash flows "My Gia" company - a subsidiary of Lam Thi. Every transaction, every contract to transfer money abroad, every tax evasion figure... is so clear that it cannot be denied.
“My Gia is the company you supported, right?”
I looked straight into her eyes.
"The person in whose name the legal entity is named is your mother's nephew."
“For many years, you have used it to transfer money to your own pocket... not a lot, right?”
“President Qin, if I send this document to the tax authorities and inspectors…”
“What do you think will happen?”
Her face turned white in an instant. She jumped up and rushed towards me.
"Miss! Where did you get these things!"
Her voice began to tremble with fear. I leaned away and took my phone back.
“You don't need to know.”
I stood up and looked down at the woman who had just been so high and mighty, but now she looked panicked.
“I'll give you an hour.”
“Within an hour, all the repression of my father's factory had to stop.”
“And Lam Thi Group had to buy back that factory at three times the market price.”
“If not…”
I stopped for a moment, my voice was light but cold.
“This stuff will appear where it should appear.”
I bent down, close to her ear.
“The game… has just begun.”
“Let's… play slowly.”
