Chapter 6 — I'm an Orphan, So Where Did My Mother Come From?

Chu Man Man bowed her head. Couldn't say a word. On the contrary, Tuong Hong Mai started to really panic. From the beginning until now she has been sitting huddled in the corner of the room. At this moment, her hands clasped the bag strap so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Thieu Minh Vien continues to open the branch's camera system. Previously, Chu Man Man confirmed that the camera was broken. But in the company's cloud storage account, the entire video remained intact. Not missing a second. Recorded on July 26, after ten o'clock at night. Chu Man Man sat in front of the computer at the reception desk. She kept opening my client file. Then print out a whole stack of paper. Next, she used her phone to take pictures of each page. A few minutes later. Tuong Hong Mai entered through the back door. The two of them went into the photocopying room. In the video, Tuong Hong Mai holds my documents to read. Chu Man Man stood next to her, pointing and explaining something. Although there is no sound. But every move is clearly visible. The next video is at noon the next day. Zhou Man Man led Tuong Hong Mai into an empty meeting room again. There is a piece of paper on the table. Tuong Hong Mai bowed her head to practice signing. Chu Man Man stood next to observe. Continue scrolling down. Everyone saw Chu Man Man open the photo editing software. Then drag in my graduation photo. Step by step, combine Tuong Hong Mai into the photo. There are no missing steps. The more Thieu Minh Vien watched, the darker his face became. Finally he slammed down on the table.

“Chu Man Man!”

“Are you crazy?”

Chu Man Man jumped up.

“General Manager Thieu, please listen to my explanation!”

“I just want to help them reconcile!”

“Aunt Tuong said that Hua Tri Nam is really her daughter, I just…”

I coldly interrupted.

“Putting together my graduation photo and stuffing her in is also called reconciliation?”

Chu Man Man immediately choked. Khau Hao pushed the laptop towards the police.

“Comrades, please immediately seal and secure all video evidence according to regulations.”

The police nodded.

“Mr. Thieu, please coordinate to back up the original video.”

Thieu Minh Vien responded almost immediately.

"Sure."

“We will coordinate fully.”

At this time, Chu Man Man's body began to tremble. Tuong Hong Mai suddenly hugged her chest.

“I... I'm not well...”

The police looked at her.

“If needed, we can call an ambulance.”

“But testimony must still continue.”

This time Tuong Hong Mai could no longer cry. She quietly turned her head to look at Chu Man Man. Those eyes were full of resentment. As if blaming her for pulling me into the water. I see it very clearly. And also understand very well. Their defensive wall has begun to show the first cracks. Won't be able to hold on much longer. In the second round of testimony, the first person who couldn't stand it was Tuong Hong Mai. At first she still pretended to be sick. But when the police placed the photos taken from surveillance cameras in front of her, she immediately couldn't act anymore.

“She said she was Hua Tri Nam's mother.”

“So why in the video, the first time you saw her profile was in the photocopy room of the study abroad center?”

“Why do you have to practice signing her signature?”

“Why do you have to combine graduation photos?”

Tuong Hong Mai's lips trembled.

“I just helped others with one thing…”

The police continued asking: Tuong Hong Mai unconsciously raised her head to look at Chu Man Man. Immediately, Chu Man Man exclaimed: That call just rang out. The whole room suddenly fell silent for a second. I raised my eyes and looked over. It turns out that's it. Tuong Hong Mai is Chu Man Man's mother-in-law. I almost burst out laughing. A strange old woman suddenly appeared and accepted me as her daughter. Behind turned out to be her daughter-in-law. Tuong Hong Mai also realized that he had just revealed a loophole. Her face immediately turned white. The police officer turned to look at Chu Man Man.

“What did you call her just now?”

Chu Man Man still tried to resist.

“Normally I also call my customers' parents mom.”

Khau Hao sat next to him and calmly spoke:

“This relationship is not difficult to verify.”

“Household registration, marriage registration, call history...”

“If you want to investigate, you can investigate.”

This time Chu Man Man was completely silent. Chiang Hong Mai finally collapsed.
