Chapter 2 — I Awakened the Embryo After Twenty-Six Years

The whole hall was silent. So quiet that you can hear a pin drop. All eyes turned to me at once. Pity. There were also looks that were looking forward to watching a fun show. Luc Ba Dinh trembled so much that his whole body trembled. He pointed at Vi Nguyet, his lips trembled for a long time but could not utter a single sentence. That was the daughter he cherished for twenty-six years. Because he wanted to nourish it during pregnancy, the group president, who had never stepped into the kitchen for several days, stewed bird's nest with his own hands every day. He killed the baby himself. Just because of that so-called "clean soul". I put down the glass of champagne. The bottom of the glass touched the crystal table, emitting a clear sound. The sound is not loud. But the whole auditorium heard it. I gently smoothed the wrinkles on my cheongsam and slowly walked onto the stage. Vi Nguyet watched me approach and instinctively dodged behind Te Tu Hang. But very soon, it straightened its back, showing the appearance of a martyr preparing to sacrifice for the cause.

“Even if you beat me to death, I won't change my decision!”

“Money is dirty, but I won't let it get dirty anymore!”

I walked in front of it. Looking at the face, it looks like seven parts of me when I was young. I don't slap it. Just reached out and pulled the microphone out of his hand. My hands are very steady. Even stronger than when signing trillion-dollar contracts. I turned around, facing hundreds of powerful figures in the business world below. My voice echoed throughout the hall through the high-end sound system. There was not a single trace of trembling.

“Let everyone laugh today.”

"Young people... are easily brainwashed by toxic chicken soup online, and then give birth to some unrealistic delusions."

I stopped for a moment, my eyes glanced over Te Tu Hang's stiff face.

“For example… the illusion that you are an adult capable of deciding everything.”

I raised the microphone.

“I, Tham Lan Quan, the shareholder holding eighty-five percent of the absolute shares of Tham Thi Group…”

“Now officially announce two things.”

"First, strip Luc Vi Nguyet of all positions in Tham Thi Group, revoke all supplementary cards and the right to use real estate in her name."

"Second, Tham Thi Group has never established the so-called 'Tu Hang Light Fund'. Mr. Qi Tu Hang is currently suspected of taking advantage of his position to embezzle public funds. Tomorrow morning, my team of lawyers will officially report to the economic investigation agency."

Vi Nguyet's eyes immediately opened wide.

"Mom! Are you crazy?! How can you treat Tu Hang like that!"

Qi Tu Hang also panicked, cold sweat covered his forehead.

“President Tham, you are slandering me!”

I don't pay attention to them. I conveniently took a glass of wine from the waiter's tray next to me.

“Today is like my birthday party.”

“As for retreating to the back line…”

“Temporarily indefinitely.”

“Everyone just eat and drink happily.”

Having finished speaking, I tilted my head back to drink the glass of wine. The wine was cold. Drifting down the throat, it was like swallowing a sharp, cold blade. I put down my glass, turned around and walked off the stage. Holding Luc Ba Dinh's stiff arm.

“Let's go home.”

The Maybach glided on the overpass in the middle of the night. There were no lights on in the car. There was only light from the street lamps outside the window, intermittently horizontal scan. Spitting on Luc Ba Dinh's tear-stained face. He did not cry out loud. Tears just kept falling. Falling on expensive trousers.

“Lan Quan…”

His voice was hoarse as if sandpaper had been rubbed over it.

“Our grandchild… is no more.”

“Vi Nguyet… how could he take action?”

I leaned against the leather chair. Close your eyes. My hands are shaking. When standing on stage, I don't tremble. Just starting to shake now. I squeezed my hand under my thigh, trying to force it to stand still.

“Crying is useless.”

I replied coldly. Opening my eyes, I took out my phone to call financial director Trieu Dinh.

“Trieu Dinh.”

“President Tham, it's me.”

His voice was extremely serious. Apparently he had just witnessed the whole drama at the party.

“Starting from this moment, lock all accounts of Luc Vi Nguyet and Te Tu Hang.”

"Not just the supplementary card. Including all the income from the family trust in their name, all of it was frozen under the pretext of 'triggering the egregious conduct clause'."

“Without my signature, they don't expect to get a penny from the Tham family.”

“Understood, I will handle it immediately.”

After hanging up, I called the legal affairs director of Canh Minh Department.

“Canh Minh.”

“President Tham.”

“Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, I want to see the entire cash flow records of the so-called 'Tu Hang Light Fund'.”

“Check all false invoices.”

“Check the transferred funds.”

My voice was so cold it was like broken ice.

“I want to put him in jail.”

“At least ten years of sitting on a sewing machine.”

So Canh Minh took a deep breath. But he has followed me for nearly twenty years and understands my tricks too well.

"Yes, Chairman Tham. Actually, the legal department had already discovered some irregularities before, just to show off to the eldest lady..."

“Now there's no need to respect anyone anymore.”

I coldly interrupted.

“Investigate it to the end for me.”

After arranging everything, the car fell into silence again. Luc Ba Dinh dried his tears. He turned his head to look at me.

“Lan Quan... do you really want to force Vi Nguyet to death?”

“It crushed our hope first.”

I looked at the endless night outside the window.

“It criticized the money of dirty capitalists…”

“Then I will make it happen.”

“Let him be a clean poor person as he wishes.”

The car slowly entered the mountain villa area. The large gate slowly opened. The villa is brightly lit, but the air is as cold as an ice cellar. I pushed the car door open and got out. The night wind was very strong, blowing my hair. But I never stopped walking.
