Chapter 15 — Light Cannot Be Stolen

"What you signed..."

"It's a loan note."

"Not a love letter."

In the meeting room... Someone couldn't help but laugh. Co Canh Xuyen's face turned pale. Right at that moment. My mother suddenly spoke up.

"Even though Canh Xuyen once borrowed money."

"You shouldn't be so cruel."

"You're about to become husband and wife."

"Who would calculate to this extent?"

I looked at my mother.

"You and him..."

"Still not married."

"Isn't it almost?"

"Sooner or later, we will be one family."

I calmly replied.

"There will be no more weddings."

My mother immediately panicked.

"Can you cancel it if you say cancel it?"

"Wedding invitations have been distributed."

"The relatives know everything."

"Where are you going to let me hide my face?"

I looked straight at her.

"When mom left Co Canh Xuyen alone..."

"Switch your oxygen tank to helium..."

"Have you ever thought..."

"Where will my network be located?"

My mother choked. Eyes continuously avoided. Co Canh Xuyen immediately seized the opportunity.

"Tham Van."

"Don't move on to other things."

"The story on the mountain..."

"I already apologized."

Lawyer Trinh took out a small audio recorder.

"Regarding the incident on the mountain."

"We also brought evidence."

Co Canh Xuyen's face immediately turned pale.

"Tham Van."

"I really want to keep this private..."

"Come here?"

I looked at him.

"The person who pulled my mother onto the livestream..."

"The person who posted fake loan documents online..."

"It's also you."

"It's you..."

"Forcing me to come today."

Lawyer Trinh pressed the play button. The sound of wind on the snowy mountains sounded first. Right after that... It was Co Canh Xuyen's laughter.

"The sound of ducks!"

"I'm dying of laughter!"

Duong Niem's laughter was even clearer.

"Miss Van talks like a cartoon."

"Really funny."

It's my voice.

"Oxygen tank..."

"Give me... the spare oxygen tank... to me..."

Co Canh Xuyen's voice rang out clearly.

"Weak Niem Niem."

"I gave all the spare oxygen tanks to her."

"You're so strong."

"Just bear with it a little and it will pass."

In the meeting room. Chu Khai silently bowed his head. Editor-in-Chief Manh's face... Black as ink. The recording continues.

"This medicine..."

"Let Niem Niem take it with you too."

"Can still stand."

"Still got the phone."

"Why are you so weak?"

"Do you think you're a national treasure photographer?"

"I can't stand even a little bit of suffering."

It's Duong Niem's voice.

"I know you don't like me."

"But the principal said..."

"I'm a longtime mountain climbing photographer."

"This high..."

"Definitely no problem."

The recording ends. The entire meeting room... Silence as a sheet. Hua Lam looked at Co Canh Xuyen.

"Another misunderstanding?"

Co Canh Xuyen is still stubborn.

"This recording..."

"Mutilated."

Lawyer Trinh calmly replied.

"Full recording..."

"We have submitted it to the competent authority."

Co Canh Xuyen's hands rested on the table. His knuckles turned white from squeezing too tightly. Right at that moment. Duong Niem suddenly stood up.

"Headmaster..."

"Didn't you say..."

"Miss Van has agreed?"

Co Canh Xuyen lowered his voice.

"Sit down."

But this time... Duong Niem was really scared. She stared at Co Canh Xuyen.

"Didn't you say..."

"Just regular helium."

"Nothing will happen?"

Co Canh Xuyen's eyes... suddenly turned cold. That sentence... More fatal than the recording. Editor-in-Chief Manh Lap immediately looked at Duong Niem.

"So that means..."

"You know it's helium?"

Duong Niem quickly covered his mouth. Take a step back. Co Canh Xuyen gritted his teeth.

"She was scared so she said nonsense."

I looked at Duong Niem. Her face was as white as paper. Only now... She truly understood. The person Co Canh Xuyen wanted to protect... From beginning to end... It was never her. But just himself. I calmly spoke up.

"Duong Niem."

"In the mountains..."

"Who suggested swapping cylinders?"

Co Canh Xuyen immediately shouted loudly.

"Tham Van."

"Don't lead her on!"

I completely ignored him.

"Duong Niem."

"Say now..."

"There's still time."

Duong Niem's tears fell. She looked at Co Canh Xuyen. Then looked at the recorder. Look again at the documents on the table. Finally... Trembling, he opened his mouth.

"Headmaster."

"Co Canh Xuyen!"

He roared. Duong Niem was startled. But the faster you talk, the faster you talk.

"You said it yourself..."

"Sister Van always presses my head."

"Says she absolutely refuses to give up her name on the cover photo."

"So I have to let her lose face for once."

"Helium tank..."

"It's also me who buys it."

"I told you to put it in your pocket."

"And the camera..."

"You said it when she had a reaction to the high."

"Then she won't have the strength to win."

The whole meeting room... Immersed in absolute silence. Co Canh Xuyen raised his hand. Trying to pull Duong Niem back. Hua Lam slammed on the table.

"Try touching her."

Duong Niem burst into tears. Move completely aside.

"I just want to take cover photos."

"I really don't want to kill anyone."

"I don't know..."

"It's going to be that serious."

I looked at her.

"Don't know?"

"I really don't know."

I nodded slightly.

"Then..."

"Now you know."

Duong Niem cried so much that he couldn't say a word. Editor-in-Chief Manh recently spoke up.

"Van Linh magazine will immediately issue an announcement."

"Terminate all cooperation with your side."

Co Canh Xuyen turned his head around.

"Editor-in-Chief Manh."

"You should think carefully."

"Online opinion..."

"It's not over yet."

Editor-in-Chief Manh calmly replied.

"Now..."

"It's over."
