Chapter 3 — The Day You Pulled Your Lover On Stage, I Recovered All My Investment

I took a pen out of my pocket and wrote an address on the corner of the divorce certificate. Co Trach frowned.

“What are you writing?”

"I changed the door lock password. If you want to come in, ring the bell."

The smile on Lam Man's face immediately stiffened. Co Trach stared at me.

“Khuong Le, don't be so childish.”

"Divorced. It's not appropriate for my ex-husband to come into my house without permission."

I turned around and walked down the steps. Behind him, Lam Man's self-pitying voice was heard.

“Boss, it seems Ms. Khuong is really angry.”

Co Trach replied:

“She won't be causing trouble for long.”

I went to the side of the road and called a taxi. Right before the car door closed, the phone vibrated. A strange phone number sent a text message.

"Miss Khuong, the document you signed last night has officially taken effect. The first capital invested in Minh Chau can be fully withdrawn before 3:00 p.m. this afternoon. Do you confirm?"

I answer in two words.

"Confirm."

Two thirty in the afternoon. Co Trach came. He stood outside the door and rang the bell three times in succession. When I opened the door, his face was very ugly.

“Why change the password?”

“I already said it.”

Lam Man showed half of her face from behind him. In his hand he also carried a paper bag.

“Miss Khuong, we just came to pick up the documents, we won't bother you.”

I moved aside.

“Shoe covers are in the closet.”

Co Trach frowned.

“Khuong Le.”

“I just cleaned the floor this morning.”

Lam Man bent down to pick up the shoe bag, her movements were extremely gentle and pleasing to the eye.

"That's right, General Co. We are guests, so we should respect the host."

The mouth says so. But when she put on the shoe covers, she placed the paper bag on the shoe cabinet in the mysterious gate. The mouth of the bag was slightly open. Inside is a men's tie. I recognized it immediately. That was the tie Co Trach wore on stage last night. Co Trach went straight into the office. The obvious target is the safe. He entered the password. Enter again. Still reporting error. He turned his head to look at me.

“Have you changed the password to the safe?”

"The house belongs to me. The safe is also in my house."

“Inside there are company documents.”

“Give me the list.”

Co Trach tried to suppress his anger.

“Stop causing trouble.”

“I told you to give me the list.”

Lam Man stepped forward. The voice was gentle as if comforting a child who did not understand.

"Miss Khuong, those things are really important. You don't understand how to keep them. If you lose them, Mr. Co will be very troubled."

I looked at her.

“Do you understand?”

Lam Man paused.

“Because I am the secretary of the late President.”

“Hasn't the secretary become a co-founder?”

Lam Man's face immediately turned pale. Co Trach stepped up to block her face.

"What does it mean for you to target her like that? Minh Chau just went public, so many things cannot go wrong."

“What can go wrong is not the documents.”

“It's human.”

“Khuong Le!”

I turned around and walked to the cupboard next to the dining table, took out a parchment document bag and threw it on the tea table. Co Trach immediately reached out. I pressed on the file bag.

“Sign it first.”

“What do you want to do anyway?”

"You want to take things from my house, I need confirmation. Is it so difficult to understand?"

Lam Man bit her lip slightly.

“Miss Khuong, you weren't like this before.”

I looked at her.

“Did you know me before?”

Her face was sometimes red and sometimes white. Co Trach lost patience and signed, then grabbed the file bag. Open When he went out to take a look, his expression softened a bit.

“Is that all?”

“The things in the office that belong to you are here.”

“There's also a blue folder.”

"Do not have."

Co Trach stared at me.

“That is the original of Minh Chau's first loan.”

I folded up the receipt.

“Didn't you say it was useless to me?”

His voice lowered.

“Khuong Le, you can't touch that thing.”

“You don't understand.”

“Try it, I'll listen.”

Co Trach had no choice but to turn around and go straight into the office. I raised my hand to block it.

“Co Trach, if you take one more step, I will call the police.”

He stopped. An unfamiliar aggression finally appeared on his face.

“Do you really think that holding a few old files can threaten me?”

Lam Man quickly pulled his sleeve.

"Mr. Gu, stop arguing here. We still have a meeting this afternoon."

I saw the bracelet on her wrist being rotated back and forth again. It's a small movement every time she's stressed. At that moment, a knock was heard outside the door. The building manager stood at the door, and behind him were two security guards.

“Miss Khuong, did you ring the bell for support just now?”

Co Trach's face became extremely unsightly.

“There is someone staying in my house and refusing to leave.”

The building manager looked at Co Trach. Recognize him. The attitude immediately became awkward.

“Mr. Gu, this matter... you see...”

Co Trach smiled coldly.

“Very good.”

He picked up his file bag and went out. As he passed me, he lowered his voice.

“Khuong Le, don't regret it.”

“Leave me, no one will care about you anymore.”

I looked up at him.

“You should keep that sentence to yourself.”

After the door closed, the building manager wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Miss Khuong, Mr. Co's status is not normal. Do you really want to make things so stressful?"

I gave him a piece of paper.

"Please notify the security department. From now on, if Co Trach or Lam Man come here, you must have my permission to enter."

Seeing the lawyer's seal on the paper, the manager's expression immediately changed.
