Chapter 10 — I'm an Orphan, So Where Did My Mother Come From?

Having finished speaking, I hung up the phone. Then transfer the recording file directly to Khau Hao. Very quickly, he replied. Only two words. Ten o'clock in the morning. I went to the bank to renew my financial certificate. After comparing my identification documents, the teller helped me reprint the documents. She looked at me a few times. Finally, he quietly asked:

“Are you the girl who called the police yesterday?”

I raised my head. She was a bit shy.

“My cousin also applied to study abroad in Khai Do.”

“In parent groups, this is being spread everywhere.”

I frowned.

“Spread what?”

She gave me the phone. In a group of parents studying abroad, someone posted a video that had been edited. In the video. There was only the scene of Tuong Hong Mai crying and accusing me of taking retirement money to study abroad. Below are a series of cursing comments.

“Youth today are really scary.”

“Even an orphan cannot be so unscrupulous.”

“You have money to study abroad but you don't have money to support your mother?”

I looked at the video for a few seconds. It did not include the part where I showed the certificate that my parents died in the line of duty. There is no video call from Aunt Quy to confirm. There is no scene where the police appear. Only the scene of an old woman crying pitifully remains. I immediately sent the link to Khau Hao. Then use your real account to post a message to the group.

“I am Hua Tri Nam.”

“The video that is being spread is content that has been intentionally edited.”

"Tuong Hong Mai is not my relative, and is currently being investigated for impersonating relatives, falsifying documents, and showing signs of extortion."

“Chu Man Man is suspected of leaking customer information.”

"My parents, Hua Huong Vinh and Lam Van Tinh, both died while on duty."

“Request the administrator to immediately delete the infringing video and preserve the poster's information.”

“If not, I will take the necessary legal procedures.”

The group was silent. Twenty seconds. Then the video disappeared. The poster has withdrawn. The administrator immediately sent a private message to me to apologize. I do not accept. But no more scolding. I just saved all the screenshots. Afternoon. Khai Do Du Hoc Headquarters called me. The caller introduced himself as the company's legal compliance manager.

“We have established a specialized investigation team.”

“Chu Man Man has been fired.”

I ask again:

“Can dismissal replace criminal liability?”

The other end of the line immediately replied:

“Of course not.”

“We will fully cooperate with the investigation agency.”

“In addition, the company is willing to compensate you 100,000 yuan.”

I calmly said:

“Send written compensation plan.”

“No communication over the phone.”

The other party immediately agreed. After hanging up. I also save my call history to my profile folder. The school sent a response letter. The content is very short. They confirmed that they had received all explanatory documents. At the same time, wish me a smooth trip. Look at that email. The tight rope in my heart finally loosened a little. It's just a little looser. Because the case is not over yet. It won't be that easy to ignore. On the day of departure, I arrived at the airport four hours early. Aunt Quy insisted on going to see him off. Standing outside the check-in area, my aunt stuffed a transparent document bag into my hand.

“It's a copy.”

“Dad's papers Your mother, I prepared another set for you."

I take it.

“Thank you, Aunt Quy.”

She looked at me, the corners of her eyes were slightly red.

“Once you get over there, don't be afraid to ask others for help.”

“Don't turn off your phone.”

“If there is any news from Chu Man Man, I will let you know.”

I nodded. While checking in my luggage, my phone suddenly rang. It's the police calling.

“Hua Tri Nam.”

“Chu Man Man has been detained in criminal detention.”

"Tuong Hong Mai, due to his age and health condition, is currently on bail awaiting trial."

“In addition, we have contacted two previous victims. They also officially reported the incident.”

“After you leave the country, remember to keep in touch. Subsequent procedures can be authorized by a lawyer."

“Thank you, comrade.”
