Chapter 4 — The Darkness After a Model Marriage

“I want to ask, did you leave Phi Thuy Apartment at 1 a.m. because of overtime or something else?” The air was completely frozen. She stood there, her lips moving. But speechless. "You don't need to deny it. You can get the apartment complex's surveillance camera, and you can also check the vehicle's entry and exit history." She sat down on the chair. The expression turned from tense to cold. "You investigated me?" "I investigated Lam Vu Hang, then investigated you." "You investigated him and then investigated me?" "At first I didn't intend to investigate you. But his money flowed into Phi Thuy Apartment." I said this very slowly. Her pupils shrank slightly. "What money?" "I taught him to imitate you to scam money from your mother." "I didn't do it." "So why is his account related to me?" "I don't know." "Then I'll investigate." "I'll just investigate." "What if I find out?" She looked at me. "Shen Nghien Dinh, we've been married for seven years." "Seven years." "Do you believe a transfer record or believe it?" wife?" "I believe the truth." "The truth is that between you and him there is no kind of relationship that I imagine." "What relationship?" "You..." "I only said he lived in Phi Thuy Apartment, not to mention who he lived with. What kind of relationship are you so quick to brush off?" She choked. I stood up. "To Uyen Thanh, I didn't come here today to argue with you." "So what do you want?" "I want you to cooperate in the investigation." "Investigate what?" "Investigate all of Lam Vu Hang's financial transactions." "Based on what?" "Based on the fact that you are the president of this company." She was stunned. After being married for seven years, I have never used this identity in front of her. We are husband and wife. Also a partner. But now, I sit across from her with a different identity. "I'm the president, you're also the general manager." She said. "The General Director can be dismissed by the Board of Directors." Her expression completely changed. "You want to dismiss me?" "If I participate in fraud, it won't just be a matter of dismissal." "What do you mean?" "My mother sold her old house, and is currently living in a warehouse. If this is related to you..." I stopped. "Do you know what crime Article 266 of the Penal Code regulates? No?”Crime of fraud. Of course she knew. "Tham Nghien Dinh, do you really want to do that?" "You gave me a chance as soon as I walked in here." "What chance?" "I asked if you knew about someone impersonating you. You said you didn't know." "I really don't know." "So now explain, why is Lam Vu Hang's rent paid by your secretary?" She opened her mouth. But no sound is emitted. I stood up and walked to the door. When I opened the door, Lam Vu Hang was sitting outside. He raised his head to look at me, his eyes clear. That purity seemed like it had been practiced countless times. I stopped walking. "Did you participate in a voice imitation contest in college?" He was stunned. "Yes, Chairman Tham." "Won first prize?" "Yes." "Can you imitate me?" His eyes flashed. "Right now?" "Right now." He looked towards To Uyen Thanh's office. The door is still open. To Uyen Thanh stood inside, her face pale. "President Tham, this is not very appropriate..." "Try it." He cleared his throat. Then he opened his mouth. "I am Tham Nghien Dinh." Five words. The voice, intonation and pauses are exactly like me. The hallway became silent. Several employees passing by stopped walking. I looked at Lam Vu Hang. He lowered his voice, returning to a normal tone. "President Tham, I'm just joking." "Kidding?" "It's a skill learned in college, I practice it a little from time to time." "In the recruitment profile, you said you majored in business English." His smile stiffened. "That..." "The profile is fake?" He didn't answer. To Uyen Thanh walked out of the office. "That's enough." Ms

He stood in front of Lam Vu Hang. "Tham Nghien Dinh, don't cause trouble in the company." "Cause trouble?" "He didn't cheat your mother of money. He said it was just a joke." I looked at her posture of protecting Lam Vu Hang. Move according to that instinct. More naturally than any time she stood up to solve a problem for me. "To Uyen Thanh, do you think my last question was a joke?" She didn't say anything. "I'm testing his reaction." I looked at Lam Vu Hang standing behind her. "The sentence he just imitated was exactly the same as the first sentence in the scam call my mother received." No one in the hallway spoke. Finally, Lam Vu Hang's face also changed. That pure, radiant and harmless smile disappeared. Instead there was a cold look. I've seen this expression before. On the negotiating table. On the faces of people cornered. To Uyen Thanh was still standing in front of him. But I don't need to ask anything more. The answer was in his eyes. I turned around and left. The employees in the hallway automatically gave way. After walking a few meters, I turned around. "To Uyen Thanh." She raised her head. "You still have a chance." "What chance?"
