Chapter 15 — Marriage Is A Trap

Two o'clock the next afternoon. Tan Loc's law office. Luc Canh Tham arrived very on time. He has lost a lot of weight. Dark circles under the eyes are clearly visible. The vest is wrinkled and no longer looks as neat as before. He sat down, looked at me, then looked at Tan Loc.

“You said there is the truth about Phuong Dao.”

Tan Loc pushed the file bag in front of him.

“See for yourself.”

Luc Canh Tham opened the file bag and read each page one by one. When it came to the part about Phuong Dao's two previous relationships, his hands began to shake. When he read the call record between Phuong Dao and Vuong Chi Cuong... His face immediately turned as white as ash.

“‘Do you think I will be honest with a man with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan?’”

He read that sentence over and over twice. Then put the document down and close your eyes. Finally he opened his eyes.

“These…”

Hoarse voice.

“Is it true?”

Tan Loc nodded.

“The original recording remains.”

“Notarized.”

“While she was with me… she was always in contact with Vuong Chi Cuong?”

Tan Loc took out another set of documents.

“The project made me lose 3,000,000 yuan…”

“Have you ever investigated the real cause?”

Luc Canh Tham was stunned.

“There was a problem with that project because the supplier…”

“Which supplier?”

“A materials company named Thinh Dat.”

“In the middle of the process, they increased the price, leading to over budget.”

Tan Loc placed the documents in front of him.

“The person who controls the reality of Thinh Dat…”

“It's Vuong Chi Cuong's cousin.”

“That price increase is not a market fluctuation.”

“But someone deliberately manipulated it.”

“The main purpose is to make your project lose money and your position in the company to be shaken…”

“Making me even more dependent on Phuong Dao's 'comfort and support'.”

Luc Canh Tham clenched the documents in his hand so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

“You mean… Phuong Dao and Vuong Chi Cuong joined forces to intentionally cause problems with my project?”

“Not only that.”

I finally spoke up.

“Try to think carefully.”

“After your project failed, who was the first person to comfort you?”

“Who is the person who drinks with you when you are most stressed?”

“Who gives you the feeling of being understood… when the relationship between you and I becomes increasingly cold?”

Luc Canh Tham did not speak anymore.

“Luc Canh Tham.”

I looked at him.

“You are a prey that has been calculated for a long time.”

“From the day Phuong Dao stepped into Hang Vien…”

“You were part of her plan.”

“But why me?”

His voice was hoarse.

“What is there in me worth taking advantage of?”

“In your hand, you have documents approving Hang Vien's real estate project.”

“Those documents are related to land transfer money.”

“Vuong Chi Cuong needs someone he can control to handle the documents.”

“That person is you.”

Luc Canh Tham's face immediately turned pale.

“Are the documents I have handled… problematic?”

Tan Loc continued.

“Among the documents you signed, three parts of the amount were edited.”

“The amplitude of change is very small.”

“So small that it is almost imperceptible to the naked eye.”

“But combined…”

“Nearly 8,000,000 yuan was transferred to Wang Zhiqiang's personal account.”

“No way!”

Luc Canh Tham jumped up.

“I checked it when I signed!”

“I checked the printout.”

Tan Loc is extremely calm.

“But after you sign it, copy The electron has been switched.”

“The person who swapped the documents is Phuong Dao.”

“She knows the password to your work computer.”

“You told her yourself.”

Luc Canh Tham seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and his whole body fell back into the chair.

“Am I being taken advantage of?”

“From start to finish.”

He slammed his fist on the table.

“So am I breaking the law now?!”

“On those documents is my signature!”

“For now…”

Tan Loc looked straight at him.

“You are a victim, not a criminal.”

“But if you don't take the initiative to expose this matter…”

“Wait until the investigation agency investigates itself…”

“Then you will no longer be the victim.”

“So what should I do?”

“Report the police.”

"Use all this evidence to denounce Vuong Chi Cuong and Phuong Dao."

“Your signature was taken advantage of.”

“There are now audio recordings and document editing history as evidence.”

“Report as soon as possible.”

Luc Canh Tham was silent for a long time. Then he turned to look at me.

“These…”

“How did you get it?”

“Someone help me.”

“It has nothing to do with you.”

He looked at me for a long time. Finally, say a word quietly.

“You don't need to apologize to me.”

I stood up.

“What you need to do now is quickly protect yourself.”

Luc Canh Tham picked up the file bag. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped but did not turn around.

“You are much stronger than I imagine.”

“The past three years…”

“You never really understood me.”

Having finished speaking, he left. Tan Loc sat next to him and took a sip of water.

“He will go to the police.”

“Why are you so sure?”

“Because he's scared.”

Tan Loc curled his lips.

“Fear is the greatest motivator.”

My phone suddenly rang. It's Lam Kha.

“Miss To, something happened.”

“Phuong Dao just posted a long post on Weibo.”

“She said she hired people to follow her, fabricated her past, and even led netizens to commit violence against her.”
