Chapter 7 — The Light That Calls Me

"This is business registration information. Currently, Ms. To Duong still holds 58% of the shares of Te Quang Furniture. I hope your side will not hinder the right to attend the shareholders' meeting in accordance with the law."

The assistant received the documents. Just one look... His face changed. I didn't wait for her to answer. Step directly into the elevator. In front of the meeting room door on the top floor, there are two security guards standing guard. I gave them a lawyer's letter and proof of shareholder status.

"If you still try to stop me, I will record all of your actions."

The two guards looked at each other. Finally... Quietly step aside. When I pushed the door open. The meeting room was full of people. Co Tram Chu sat in the chair position. Tham Uyen Ninh sat on his right hand. She was still wearing the same tuxedo as the one she wore at the new product launch today. The investors saw me. Each person has their own look. Some people were surprised. Some people are confused. Co Tram Chu raised his head. The coldness on his face only briefly appeared and then disappeared.

"Who let you in?"

"This is the shareholders' meeting."

"You are not qualified to participate."

Duong Ninh stepped up from behind me.

"Mr. Gu, please check your business registration information."

"Currently, Ms. To Duong is still the largest shareholder of Te Quang Furniture."

Co Tram Chu did not answer. The person in charge of finance next to him stood up. Take out a folder of documents.

"The change of shares within the company has been completed."

"Miss To has signed the transfer agreement."

I walked to the front of the conference table.

"Bring out the original."

The person in charge of finance paused.

"This... this is a scanned copy of the original."

"I said..."

"It's the original."

Duong Ninh spoke coldly:

"The share transfer agreement involves the exchange of assets of great value."

"Can't just rely on scans for confirmation."

"Please present the original paper along with all documents recording the signing process."

Co Tram Chu lightly tapped on the table.

"To Duong."

"You're not a child anymore."

"If you sign, you must be responsible."

I looked straight at him.

"The signature on that agreement..."

"Not mine."

"Are you going to deny it?"

"Is it my signature or not..."

"If you assess, you'll know right away."

I took out a file from my bag.

"Here are the originals of the 27 contracts I have signed in the past ten years."

"Signing habits, pen stroke characteristics and signing time..."

"All can be used as a basis for comparison."

"Also..."

"The signing date on the transfer agreement was September 17 last year."

I press the remote. A train ticket appeared on the big screen.

"Last September 17, I was in Suzhou attending an exchange conference for designers."

"I didn't return to the city until 10:37 p.m. that night."

Just then... Another photo appeared. That's a roll call photo at the conference. My name is clearly visible in the third row.

"That day I never went to Te Quang Furniture headquarters."

"I've never met Co Tram Chu either."

Co Tram Chu's face immediately darkened.

"You can absolutely sign in advance."

I nodded.

"So..."

"Everyone, let's look at the next evidence."

Bank transaction history appears on the screen. September 17 last year... I used my bank card to pay for lunch. Hotel deposit. And return train tickets about. Considering the timeline... I absolutely cannot be present at Te Quang Furniture headquarters at 10 am to sign documents. Co Tram Chu smiled coldly.

"These only prove that you were in Suzhou at that time."

"Cannot prove that the agreement was not signed by you in advance."

"Then let's look at the signature appraisal results."

I projected the appraisal conclusion on the screen. There is only one line on it.

"The signature on the document sent for appraisal does not match Ms. To Duong's signature sample, and shows signs of being copied and forged by hand."

In the meeting room, there was immediately a buzz of discussion. Tham Uyen Ninh's fingers slowly tightened. Co Tram Chu suddenly stood up.

"This appraisal has no legal value."

Duong Ninh calmly looked at him.

"So..."

"We have applied to the court to request a judicial review."

"Bringing this result today..."

"Just to let all shareholders know..."

"The so-called procedure for changing Mr. Co's shares..."

"There are very serious suspicions."

Co Tram Chu's eyes fell on me.

"What do you want anyway?"

"I just want to ask you a question."

I walked in front of him.

"Why on this agreement..."

"Another signature appears that doesn't match my own signature?"

"I do not know."

"Then why do you assert..."

"Have I transferred shares?"

"That's the need to run the company."

"The need to run the company..."

"Is it so you can transfer 58% of my shares to yourself and Tham Uyen Ninh?"

His expression immediately changed. I didn't give him a chance to speak up. Continue saying:

"There's one more thing."

"Why are all the documents about Te Quang Furniture's new products..."
