Chapter 8
Chapter 8 — I Don't Cancel the Marriage, I Cut My Losses
I walked to the middle of the living room.
"I came to pay... all three houses."
The audit team took out a safe from Tang Hoai Tu's office. The safe just opened. Inside are several old agreements. A copy of the Tang family's guardianship money management agreement. A copy of the Thanh Dong Project Guarantee Letter from the Vice Group. A copy of the Power of Attorney to inventory the Chu family's assets. Those three documents... were signed less than a month apart. After Giang Nghien finished reading, his face immediately sank.
"President Tang."
"The cash flow chains of the three houses are indeed on the same system."
I received the documents. Tang Huai Tu's expression finally changed.
"It's just normal business cooperation."
I looked straight at him.
"After something happened to my mother..."
"He is in charge of managing the guardianship money."
"The Pho family is in charge of using this marriage to tie up Qin's resources."
"The Chu family is in charge of handling the lost property in my mother's name."
I put three files on the table.
"The Tang family took the money."
"The Pho family took the guarantee."
"The Chu family took the relics."
I raised my head.
"Share..."
"It's so obvious."
Tang Hoai Tu's lips trembled slightly.
"It's all between adults."
"It has nothing to do with the child."
I ask again:
"My mother's property..."
"Isn't it related to me?"
Tang Hoai Tu could not answer. Old lady Tang walked out with a cane. Her eyes were red.
"Tri Van..."
"We are one family."
I looked at her. Her voice trembled.
"That year, when I was just picked up at the Tang family..."
"I really love you."
I played an old recording. Thirteen years ago. In the study of the Tang family. Old lady Tang's voice rang out.
"It's okay to pick her up."
"But absolutely do not let it come into contact with people from Tan's side."
"The guardianship money should be transferred to the Tang family's account first."
"Wait until it grows up..."
"Then find a way to marry her off."
The recording stops. Old lady Tang's whole body staggered. I put my phone away.
"Your compassion..."
"I got it."
Having finished speaking, I turned around and walked out. At that moment, Tang Hoai Tu suddenly called me back.
"Don't you... don't want to know the truth about your mother's accident?"
I stopped walking. A distorted smile appeared on Tang Hoai Tu's face.
"I thought Tan Van Ninh just had a normal accident?"
I turned my head to look at him. Tang Huai Tu stared at me.
"If you continue to pressure the Tang family..."
"I guarantee..."
"I will never try to find out the truth in my whole life."
I was silent for two seconds. Then burst out laughing.
"Mr. Tang."
"You think I'm coming back today..."
"Just to collect debt?"
I gave the phone to Giang Nghien. He clicked open a recording. The voice of my mother, Tan Van Ninh, slowly rang out.
"Tang Hoai Tu."
"Fu Cheng Yue."
"Zhou Kai Liang."
"You touch my investment fund, I can still investigate."
"But if you dare to touch Tri Van..."
The recording... Suddenly stopped. Tang Hoai Tu's face completely changed. I looked straight at him.
"This is the recording..."
"Recorded the night before my mother had an accident."
"I got it."
My mother's recording was only one minute and twenty-seven seconds long. Mother questioned Tang Huai Tu, Fu Chengyue and Zhou Kailiang. Why do they arbitrarily transfer profits from investment funds? In background recording The sound of rushing footsteps appeared. Along with a man's low voice.
"Don't let her come to Qin's Board meeting tomorrow."
Right after that... There was the sound of glass breaking. The recording ends. Tang Hoai Tu stood in the middle of the living room. Face stiff. I looked at him.
"That statement..."
"Whose is it?"
Tang Hoai Tu's lips moved slightly.
"I do not know."
"I heard your voice in the recording."
"I just came to advise your mother."
"What do you advise her about?"
Tang Hoai Tu suddenly spoke loudly:
"Advise her not to do things to the point where there is no way back!"
As soon as he finished speaking... The whole living room fell silent. I nodded slightly.
"So you knew my mother was planning to come to the Board meeting."
Tang Hoai Tu immediately realized he had said something wrong and quickly closed his mouth. Giang Nghien lowered his voice and said:
"President Tang, the records of that year's accident have been found. The driver changed his name after the incident and is currently in a sanatorium under the name of the Chu family."
I looked at Tang Hoai Tu.
"What a coincidence, huh?"
His jaw clenched. I won't waste any more time with him. I led the audit team out of the Tang family's house. That afternoon. Tan Thi's legal department, the media and the notary were also present in front of the sanatorium. People from the Chu family arrived ten minutes early. They are preparing to transfer an old man to the hospital. The old man sat in a wheelchair. The right hand is missing two fingers. The hair has turned white. Giang Nghien said softly:
"He was the driver that year."
"Real name is Trieu Khanh."
"Now change the name to Chu Binh."
