Chapter 15 — Pretending to be Fired Once, Enough to See Eight Years of Marriage Clearly

Trinh Du An was the first to stand up. She opened the door to the conference room and calmly said: Two employees of the property appraisal company walked in. As soon as they saw there was a lawyer in the room, they both visibly stopped. The older person quickly took out a business card and gave it to me.

"Ms. Diep, we received an appointment so we came to verify the real estate records."

I looked at him.

"Who sets the schedule?"

He was a bit stunned.

"On the system it says the person authorized to contact by the owner."

Trinh Du An received the file.

"What is the name of the contact person?"

The opponent hesitated for two seconds then replied:

"Mr. Han Tuan."

I smiled softly.

"Is he the owner of the house?"

The young employee immediately spoke up:

"Mr. Han said he was your husband."

"He also said that this house will always be used by the couple after marriage."

Trinh Du An put the phone on the table.

"Please repeat what you just said."

Seeing that the phone screen was in recording mode, the young employee's expression immediately changed. The older man quickly pulled him back.

"Please don't misunderstand, sisters."

"We just followed the correct procedure."

"Completely unaware of your family's personal affairs."

I calmly asked:

"So where is the document confirming my consent to the appraisal?"

He opened the tablet. A set of electronic records appears on the screen. Including: Photocopy of my ID. Photo of house ownership certificate. And a copy of Confirmation of consent for real estate appraisal. In the signature line... There are two more words: Diep Trung. I just glanced at it once and realized it. Still a very similar signature style. Only the ending... Trinh Du An asked:

"Who provided this confirmation?"

The older man replied:

"Broker unit uploads to system."

"Which brokerage company?"

He read the name. It is the company where Han Lo's colleague is working. I stared at the screen.

"Haven't you guys ever directly verified it with me?"

He immediately nodded.

"We called last night."

"A woman answered the phone."

"She calls herself Diep Trung."

My fingertips slightly stopped. Trinh Du An immediately asked:

"What's the phone number?"

He opened the call history.

"End number... 6432."

It's that number again. Phone number has changed in bank records. Phone number used to confirm appraisal. Every time someone impersonates me... It leads to the same phone number. I took a deep breath.

"That's not my number."

The faces of the two appraisers really changed. The older man quickly explained:

"But in the system..."

"That's the owner's phone number."

Trinh Du An took the bank's confirmation of receipt of the complaint and placed it on the table.

"This phone number is suspected of being changed by impersonation."

"If your company continues to conduct appraisals..."

"All legal risks will be borne by you."

The older man immediately stood up straight.

"We will suspend the appraisal."

At that moment... The young employee's phone vibrated. He bent down to look at the screen. His face suddenly became tense. Trinh Du An asked: As a reflex, he immediately hid the phone behind his back. But I can still see clearly. Three words appeared on the screen. Trinh Du An calmly said:

"If the message content is related to This incident..."

"I request you to maintain the status quo."

The older man glared at the employee. He reluctantly put the phone on the table. The new message has only one line. Don't care what she says. Just follow the original plan. The appraisal report must be available before tomorrow to promptly disburse funds. The entire meeting room was so silent that only the sound of the air conditioner could be heard. Looking at that text message... I felt strangely calm again. I raised my head and asked:

"What was the original plan?"

The young employee turned pale.

"I... I don't know."

Trinh Du An immediately took a screenshot.

"It's okay if you don't know."

"Your company will know."

The older man frantically explained:

"We really didn't know there was a dispute between the two sides."

"Mr. Han said the documents are complete."

"Just need to see the house this afternoon."

"There will be a preliminary valuation report tonight."

I asked again:

"Who will that valuation be sent to?"

He replied softly:

"Funding party."

"Which funding party?"

He pursed his lips. Don't dare say anymore. Trinh Du An's eyes immediately became cold.

"So that means..."

"In addition to property appraisal..."

"Are you still connected to the advance loan unit?"

Elderly man wipes sweat from forehead.

"Customers find it themselves."

"Our company does not participate."

I looked straight at him.

"In that file..."

"Is there a loan application in my name?"

He opened his mouth. But still no reply for a long time. At that moment... I understood everything. What Han Tuan wants... Not just to use the appraisal report to prove that the house was used as a shared residence. He also intended to take advantage of my house... To borrow some money in advance. Take that amount of money to supplement the first payment for Han Lo's house. I slowly stood up.

"I request you to immediately make a list for me of all the documents you have received."

"Includes uploader."

"Loading time."

"Contact phone number."

"And the name of the funding party."

The older man looked visibly awkward.

"This is related to customer information..."

Trinh Du An interrupted with a cold voice.

"The person standing in front of you..."

"Just the legal owner of the house."

"If you refuse to cooperate..."

"We will directly send all documents to management agencies and police."

The two employees looked at each other. Finally nodded. Elderly people open the system. With just a few steps, the printer quickly prints out a list of documents. I picked it up. Read each line one by one. At the bottom of the list... There was an item that gave me pause. Owner's confirmation video. I raised my head.

"Where is the video?"

The older man replied:

"Just uploaded."

"Our company has not yet verified it."

He pressed open. The video is only nine seconds long. In the frame... A woman sits in a dark room. Her hair falls down to cover almost half of her face. Very small voice.

"I'm Diep Trung." "I agree to have the house appraised in my name to serve the family's financial needs."Only nine seconds.

The face is only partially exposed. The moment I saw the small mole on that woman's earlobe... I realized it. Not me.
