Chapter 21 — My Driver is No. 1 Young Master in the Capital

One week after the night of confrontation at the abandoned warehouse, Viet Cuong Group held an emergency board meeting, bringing together all large and small shareholders, senior management, and media representatives invited to witness an event that none of them could have imagined just a few weeks ago.

Cung Vinh Thanh stood on the podium, his face serious but still unable to hide the fatigue of a person who had just experienced the shock of discovering betrayal from his most trusted right-hand man. Next to him, Bach Tan stood straight, no longer the image of a simple technology car driver, but a powerful young heir in an elegant suit, ready to face all shareholders for the first time after six months of anonymity.

"Dear shareholders." Cung Vinh Thanh began, his voice echoed throughout the hall. "Today, I have to announce heartbreaking but necessary news. During the past two years, Executive Vice Chairman Luong Ba Tuong has secretly colluded with Chairman Han Chi Kien of Dai Phong Group, carrying out a series of financial manipulations, sabotaging internal resources, and even attempting to murder members of the Cung family for the purpose of illegally acquiring power."

An elderly shareholder, who had been with the corporation since its early days, stood up, his voice shaking with indignation. "Luong Ba Tuong? He used to be the person I trusted the most in the board of directors, always showing dedication and loyalty. How could that be?"

"It was because of that absolute trust that he had the wherewithal to conceal his plot for such a long time." Cung Vinh Thanh replied, his voice heavy. "This is a valuable lesson for all of us about never being subjective, even with those closest to us."

The buzz spread throughout the hall, many shareholders could not hide their surprise and indignation at this shocking news. Cung Vinh Thanh signaled the large screen behind him to turn on, showing all the evidence that had been collected—recorded confessions, illegal financial transactions, and records related to the poisoning of Gong Bach Nhan.

"To clarify this entire incident," Cung Vinh Thanh continued, "I would like to invite my son, Cung Bach Tan, who directly investigated and solved this case, to present the details."

Bach Tan stepped onto the podium, his eyes scanned the entire hall, not showing any signs of worry even though this was the first time he appeared publicly as a true heir after six months of anonymity. "Dear ladies and gentlemen. Six months ago, I discovered unusual signs in the group's business activities. Unable to trust anyone in the current management, I decided to disguise myself as a technology car driver to investigate from the outside myself, to avoid alerting traitors."

He recounts the entire investigative journey, from the first clues, the poisoning of his younger brother, to the night of the decisive confrontation at the abandoned warehouse, where Luong Ba Tuong's confession was recorded as key evidence. He also did not hesitate to mention Bach Duong's important role throughout this process - the person who saved his younger brother's life, the person who accompanied him to face danger head-on, and the person who contributed decisively to uncovering the entire conspiracy.

"My wife, Tham Bach Duong, is not only my cherished life partner, but also an outstanding medical and martial arts descendant of the Bach Thao Duong family, who used her own bravery to protect my family in the most dangerous moments." He said, his eyes looking for Bach Duong sitting in the front row, sending her a grateful smile.

After the speech, the board of directors quickly passed a decision to dismiss and expel Luong Ba Tuong from all positions in the corporation, and at the same time transfer all evidence files to the investigation agency for criminal prosecution on charges of corruption, destruction of corporate property, and especially serious poisoning that endangers the lives of others.

As for Han Chi Kien, even though he tried to deny all involvement, with live recording evidence and a series of suspicious financial transactions exposed, he could not escape legal responsibility. Dai Phong Group faces the risk of complete collapse when a series of business partners simultaneously cut off relations immediately after the news was widely published in the media.

Vu Dinh Long, as a legal advisor, has prepared the entire civil lawsuit file in parallel with the criminal case, to seek compensation for the losses that Viet Cuong Group has suffered over the past two years because of the takeover plot of the two conspirators. "We will ensure that justice is fully served, not only criminally but also financially." He made a statement to the press after the meeting.

Phan Gia Thinh also quickly stepped in and supported Viet Cuong Group to stabilize the stock market, which had fluctuated strongly after the scandal news was announced, ensuring that investors' confidence was not too shaken by this shock.

Ngo Viet Anh, as a communications expert, skillfully coordinated with the public relations department of Viet Cuong Group to ensure the entire story was conveyed to the public accurately and transparently, while protecting the reputations of both the Cung and Tham families from false rumors that may arise.

"Thanks to your skillful coordination," Bach Tan told the seven brothers in a subsequent meeting at Bach Duong's apartment, which had become a familiar meeting place for the group in recent days, "the entire incident was handled smoothly, without causing any damage to the reputation of the corporation or the Bach Thao Duong family."

"We do this for Bach Duong, and also for you, Bach Tan." Bui Chinh Nam replied, his voice was now much warmer than the suspicious first meeting. "You proved yourself worthy of our sister's trust, not just with your words but with your actual actions on that dangerous night."

Phan Gia Thinh raised his cup of tea and smiled slightly. "Honestly, at first I was worried that our sister would be taken advantage of for an impulsive marriage. But looking back now, perhaps this is the wisest decision Bach Duong has ever made in her life, even though it initially only stemmed from a moment of anger."

Vu Dinh Long nodded in agreement. "I have to admit, at first I was quite skeptical about you. But the way you faced danger, ready to protect Bach Duong at all costs even without martial arts, completely changed my perspective. A person who dares to rush into danger to protect the person they love, even though they know they are weaker than the other person, is truly worthy of being called brave."

That evening, when news of the scandal was widely published in the media, the whole capital was abuzz with discussion about the thrilling story of the "city's number one young master" who hid himself as a technology car driver to investigate traitors, and his wife who was a medical and martial arts instructor who stood by his side to overcome all dangers.

Bach Duong, sitting next to Bach Tan in a familiar apartment, watched the news on the TV screen with a gentle smile. "It seems like our story has now become the talk of the town."

"Do you mind?" Bach Tan asked, a bit worried about her true identity being somewhat publicized through this event.

"Not at all." Bach Duong replied, resting her head on his shoulder. "I'm proud of what we've accomplished together. There's nothing to hide anymore, and that makes me feel more relieved than ever."

Her phone vibrated, a message from Tham Bach Vy appeared on the screen, the tone was completely different from her usual sarcastic attitude. "Second sister, I just saw the news. I didn't expect my brother-in-law to have such a background. I'm sorry for looking down on him before." Bach Duong read the message, smiled slightly, feeling a small but significant change starting to take place in her family's attitude.

"It seems that not only the capital, but also my family has a different view of you." She said, handing the phone to Bach Tan to see the messages. After reading it, he laughed lightly. An indescribable feeling of satisfaction arose in his heart at this unexpected change, even though he knew that this was only the beginning of a long road of reconciliation ahead with his wife's family.
