Chapter 11 — I stayed at the funeral home to study investment with the owner

I took a deep breath.

“So what if she continues to investigate?”

General Manager Truong suddenly interrupted, his voice a bit hesitant.

“Um… Tieu Ha, there's something I haven't told you yet.”

“What?”

“In my phone… there are some chats.”

General Manager Truong coughed.

“Chat with a woman.”

The whole frozen room fell silent. Then Mr. Vuong's voice rang out, carrying the "I knew it right away" look.

“Old Truong… aren't you?”

“Stop talking so much!”

General Manager Truong's voice immediately panicked.

“Tieu Ha, tell my wife, tell her to open my phone and check the WeChat group called 'Work Group'.”

“There are only two people in that group.”

“What happens after that?”

“Then she won't have the heart to sue you anymore.”

I stood up. Staring at freezer compartment number 3. General Manager Truong's compartment.

“General Manager Truong.”

“You mean you want me to tell your wife that… you're having an affair?”

“It's not adultery!”

He immediately argued back.

“It's a spiritual exchange!”

Mr. Vuong next to him laughed so much that the freezer vibrated. Chu Duc Hai sighed:

“Old Truong, you were exactly like this when you were alive.”

Aunt Tran was next to her and scolded her:

“Indecent old man!”

I leaned my back against the wall, looking up at the ceiling. He wanted to use the affair to divert his wife's attention. And made me the messenger. How much did I owe these dead people in my previous life?

“I didn't say.”

"I won't help you spread the word like that. You can solve it yourself."

“If I die, how will I solve it?!”

"That's your problem. I won't do it."

I turned around and walked out of the freezer room, closing the door. Behind him, General Manager Truong's desperate screams and Mr. Vuong's crazy laughter were immediately heard. I rubbed my temples. This matter can only be handled by oneself. To Nha didn't give me too much time. Three days later, her attorney sent a lawyer's letter. Extremely professional wording. Roughly speaking: If Ha Vien cannot reasonably explain the unusual coincidence between her stock transactions and Truong Minh's, she will sue on suspicion of violating trade secrets and illegally collecting personal information. I held the lawyer's letter and sat in the motel room, reading it over and over three times. Then seriously analyze everything Chu Duc Hai said. What he said was not wrong. Coincidence does not constitute evidence. 002731 is the public stock code. Anyone can buy. To win this lawsuit, To Nha must prove that I used illegal tricks to obtain Truong Minh's transaction data. But she couldn't prove it. Because my source of information does not come from the computer. Not from the phone. Nor does it come from any electronic device. Which came from a freezer. This chain of information... legally does not exist. After I calmed down, I did one thing— Go find a lawyer. Not a big lawyer. It's just lawyer Luu sitting at the legal consultation counter in front of the residential area gate. 100 yuan for half an hour. I recounted the whole situation— Of course, the part about “hearing the dead talk” was omitted. After Lawyer Luu listened, he pushed up his glasses.

“She has no evidence.”

"Stock trading is your personal account, legal buying and selling. Same When there are thousands of people buying the same stock code, you can't sue you just because you and her husband bought the same stock code."

“Unless she can prove you have an inside source.”

“She can't prove it.”

“Then it's okay.”

He nodded.

“Please send me a response letter. Toughen your attitude a bit, clearly stating that you retain the right to counter-claim."

This 100 yuan is really worth it. I asked lawyer Luu to help me write a response letter. The core content has only three ideas. First, Ha Vien's stock transactions are completely legal, there is no information theft. Second, To Nha sent a lawyer's letter when there was no evidence and signs of violating another person's honor, Ha Vien retained the right to counter-claim. Third, request the opposing side to withdraw the false accusations within seven working days. After sending the letter, I waited three days.
