Chapter 14 — My Cousin Used My House To Swindle 11,800,000 Yuan, But Didn't Know The House Was Cleared

“The second round of capital raising for Te Cu was led by my side.”

He gave me his business card.

“Luc Thua mentioned you to me quite a lot.”

“Says that your ability to see the market in the design platform... is better than most investors.”

“He's too complimentary.”

“Not at all.”

Lam Chieu looked at me, his voice very calm.

“When she invested in Te Cu, almost no one dared to pour money into the designer platform.”

“Your judgment is a full year ahead of the market.”

“It's just luck.”

“People who rely only on luck…”

He smiled softly.

“…will not react as quickly in the Bich Lan Dinh case.”

I took a look at him.

“Do you know about Bich Lan Dinh?”

“Investing and investigating the context are basic skills.”

He doesn't shy away.

“I briefly know your situation.”

“Your cousin's matter… has nothing to do with you personally.”

“I am very clear on this point.”

His voice was bland, but each sentence carried weight.

“Would you like to talk a bit?”

“It's not about Bich Lan Dinh.”

“It's about what you plan to do next.”

"Right now?"

“No rush.”

“Let's talk when it's convenient for you.”

After he left, Chu Man sneaked in from the side.

“People of Hong Vien Capital.”

“Hong Vien?”

Chu Man opened his eyes wide.

“That's not a small company.”

“Since when do you know people in the investment world?”

“Just getting used to it.”

Chu Man looked at Lam Chieu's back and then turned to look at me.

“Tham Nhuoc An…”

“Your life truly expands the more you live it.”

I threw the paper cup into the trash.

“Back home, there are still hard battles to fight.”

When I got home that night, my phone had more than a dozen unread messages. One of them is Tham Tu Hien's.

“Nhuoc An, I beg you, can you withdraw your application?”

“Mom said if I withdraw my application, she will help me handle those small loans.”

Using the trouble created by Vuong Tu Lan as a condition for exchange... Forcing me to withdraw my complaint. She used this trick more than once. I don't answer. Another message came from an unknown number.

“You are Tham Nhuoc An, right?”

“Her family members borrowed money from outside.”

"If you don't pay for three days, we will come pick it up ourselves."

It's someone from those unsecured loan companies. The so-called "irregular debt collection" that lawyer Ha mentioned... It's begun. I took a screenshot and sent it to lawyer Ha. She replied very quickly.

“Don't pay attention to them.”

“You are not the one borrowing the money, the information on the contract was stolen and used.”

“You have no obligation to repay the debt.”

“If they come to harass you, call the police.”

I understand the morality. But in the middle of the night for two consecutive hours, I was woken up by three strange numbers calling... Still making it impossible to sleep peacefully. Day three. I made an appointment to meet Lam Chieu. The location he chose was a very quiet tea house. After sitting down, the first thing he said surprised me.

“I saw an anonymous post attacking you in the designer community a few days ago.”

“Are you still in the designer community?”

“Investing requires understanding the industry ecosystem.”

He poured tea and pushed a cup to me.

“That article was posted by your family member?”

“My aunt.”

“At least it's someone she wronged.”

He nodded.

“I didn't come today to discuss investments.”

“But I want to tell you something.”

“What information?”

“The story of Hang Thai Credit.”

“My team is here to help you investigate little.”

“It's not the first time Trieu Bang has done this.”

“At least he handled three problem loans in Hang Thai, totaling nearly 40,000,000 yuan.”

“Tam Tu Hien's account is just one of them.”

“Currently, Hang Thai is conducting an internal self-check.”

“Trieu Bang has had all his powers locked.”

“Why are you helping me investigate these things?”

“Two reasons.”

Lam Chieu looked at me.

“First, you are a shareholder of Te Cu.”

“If your reputation is affected, Te Cu will also be implicated.”

He stopped for a moment.

“The way you handled this made me feel… you are someone worth working with.”

“What cooperation?”

“Te Cu plans to open a new business next quarter.”

“We need someone who understands both design and commerce to be in charge.”

“Luc Thua nominated you.”

I didn't answer right away.

“Just think.”

“No rush.”

Lam Chieu stood up.

“But there is something I want to remind you of.”

“Your aunt's side… the cards in your hand are enough.”

“Trieu Bang's testimony.”

“Camera photo.”

“Recording file.”

“Report file.”

“What you lack now is not evidence.”

“But it was the right time…”

“One occasion can release everything at once.”

“What do you mean?”
