Chapter 22 — Global Livestream, Her Dress Shows My Name

In the correct order. First, the Investigation Council released its investigation report. The core content of the report includes three points. An independent testing unit confirmed that in the lining of Ha Mat's competition gown, there exists a display dye of plant origin that was personally researched. This formula does not appear in any publicly available database. After comparing Ha Tinh's five-year work record with the timeline of Ha Mat's public works. The Council determined the core design elements of the two collections "Son Hai Van" and "Phuong Minh Son Hai". They all appeared in Ha Tinh's original works before. Thirteen award-winning design projects under the name Chu Minh Vien. There are nine projects with copyright disputes over the core design. Five former students submitted written statements. The report has just been read. Chu Minh Vien's lawyer immediately stood up.

“Dear Investigation Council.”

“We object to many of the conclusions in this report.”

"The first."

“The so-called exclusive dye on the suit could have been applied later by Ha Tinh for revenge purposes.”

"On the contrary, this proves that she intentionally sabotaged the submitted work."

“The design timeline reconciliation method is seriously flawed.”

“Two designers studying under the same teacher.”

“Having similar ideas is completely normal.”

“Anonymous statements have no legal value.”

He stopped. Then took out a stack of documents from the briefcase.

"Final."

“We would like to submit a psychological evaluation issued by a legitimate medical facility.”

“Prove that Ms. Ha Tinh suffers from severe depression.”

“Any allegations made in a state of mental instability have no reference value.”

He forwarded the report to the Council. Ha Thieu Dinh received it. Turn over a page. Then look at me. I stood up.

“Dear Council.”

“I would like to submit more evidence.”

Ha Thieu Dinh nodded. I took out the stack of pre-printed papers from the folder. Place on the table. Also said:

“The depression diagnosis that the other side just submitted is fake.”

“The entire forgery process is documented in these emails.”

The whole hall immediately fell silent. I continue.

“This is an email exchange between professor Chu Minh Vien and my ex-husband, Luc Ngan.”

“Forty-seven emails in total.”

“Lasted for five months.”

“The content includes the process of falsifying the plagiarism assessment report.”

“Falsifying psychological medical records.”

“And orchestrated the entire previous hearing.”

When I say the number forty-seven. Chu Minh Vien's face immediately changed. He turned to look at Luc Ngan. Luc Ngan's face was as white as paper. I picked up the printout. Read each sentence.

“Seventeenth email.”

“Luc Ngan writes.”

‘Teacher, the appraisal draft is complete.’

‘Also, I contacted a psychologist.’

‘Reports can be exported at any time.’

“Chu Minh Vien's response message is.”

'Don't rush to use the report.'

‘Just keep it.’

'Who knows if she doesn't cooperate in the future.'

Every word. I read clearly. Not a single word was left out. The air in the hall was so heavy it was suffocating. Chu Minh Vien's lawyer was about to stand up and interrupt.

“These email photos are of unknown origin.”

“Authenticity is needed verify.”

Ha Thieu Dinh tapped lightly on the table.

“Let her finish.”

I continue.

“Email thirty-one.”

“Recipients include Ha Mat.”

“The content is to discuss how to coordinate during the hearing.”

“Chu Minh Vien is responsible for preparing evidence.”

“Luc Ngan is responsible for stabilizing my emotions so that I can accept my guilty plea.”

“Ha Mat is responsible…”

I stopped for a beat.

“Cry and forgive.”

I turned my head to look towards Ha Mat. She sat in the audience row. Hands clasped tightly together. Finger joints turn white.

“Do you remember your answer in that email?”

She didn't reply. I continued calmly.

'Don't worry, teacher.'

'Leave the crying part to me.'

A deep breath rang out in the hall. Several reporters in the back row almost went crazy taking notes. Chu Minh Vien suddenly stood up. The chair behind me slid hard and hit the wall.

“These emails were obtained illegally!”

“She doesn't have access to my mailbox!”

“This is an invasion of privacy!”

Ha Thieu Dinh still remained calm.

“Professor Chu.”

“The way evidence is collected will be considered by law.”

“But if the content in the email is real.”

“The severity is much greater.”

He stopped. Then say more.

“The authenticity of these emails can be fully verified using server logs.”

“If you think this is a fake document.”

“I ask you to sign a document now allowing us to check the original data.”

Chu Minh Vien opened his mouth. But couldn't say anything. Because he didn't dare. Because in the server. There are more things saved than these forty-seven emails. He slowly sat down. One hand rests on the table top. Fingertips tremble slightly. Not an ordinary fear. It's the trembling when a dam is built for thirty years. The first cracks begin to appear. Ha Thieu Dinh places a stack of emails next to the test report. Flip through a few pages. Then looked at Ha Mat.

“Miss Ha Mat.”

“Is there anything you want to explain about the content of these emails?”

Ha Mat slowly stood up. Lips trembling. But no sound came out. Luc Ngan sat next to her and gently pulled her sleeve. Whisper something. Ha Mat immediately pushed his hand away. Then raise your head. Hoarse voice.

“I have nothing to say.”

Ha Thieu Dinh nodded. His eyes glanced over each person in the hall. Finally stopping on Chu Minh Vien's pale face.

“Then let's move on to the next part of the hearing.”
