Chapter 10 — The wind stops and the fate also dries up

I looked at her. Just felt funny.

“Then you should go find him.”

“Not coming to find me.”

Tong Tinh Van's eyes immediately cooled down. The very next second. She suddenly grabbed my wrist. I frowned. Reflexively threw his hand away. I didn't use any force. But she seemed to be pushed very hard. The whole person staggered backwards. Then hit the edge of the tea table. Fall down and sit on the ground. The gift bag flew out of my hand. The objects inside fell everywhere. There were screams all around. Tong Tinh Van hugged his arm. Tears flowed continuously.

“Miss Khuong…”

“I just want to apologize to you.”

“Why did you push me?”

I stood still. Even the interest in explaining is gone. Right at that moment. The elevator door opens. Chu Kinh Ngoc strode forward. When he saw Tong Tinh Van sitting on the ground. His first reaction was the same as before. Immediately walked over to help her up.

“Tinh Van.”

“Are you hurt?”

Tong Tinh Van trembled and leaned against him. Cry pitifully.

“General Zhou...”

“It's not Ms. Khuong's fault.”

“I just said it wrong.”

I looked at the scene before my eyes. There is no more pain in my heart. Just feeling tired. There are habits that are deeply ingrained in the bones. Even though a year has passed. The brother chose to protect first. Still Tong Tinh Van. Chu Kinh Ngoc raised his head and looked at me. The eyes are extremely complicated. I know what you want to ask. But I don't want to explain. I don't want to be like before. Time and time again he proves his innocence. I just coldly said:

“It's a story between two people.”

“Don't drag me in again from now on.”

I turned around to leave. But the department head rushed over. His face was extremely unsightly.

“Khuong Yen.”

“What happened in the end?”

Tong Tinh Van is still crying.

“I just came to apologize…”

Suddenly. Chu Kinh Ngoc raised his head and looked up at the ceiling. In the corner of the hallway. A surveillance camera is quietly operating. His expression immediately changed.

“Download the camera.”

Tong Tinh Van's crying suddenly stopped. Her face also stiffened.

“General Zhou...”

Chu Kinh Ngoc did not look at her. Eyes still locked on the camera. The voice was cold to the bone.

“Extract the entire recording.”

"Right now."

A few minutes later. The recording from the surveillance camera is projected on the screen in the meeting room. No one said a word. They all looked attentively. In the video, Tong Tinh Van proactively walked over and grabbed my wrist. After being thrown away by me, she fell backwards on her own. From start to finish. Every move is so clear that there can be no excuses. The whole room fell into silence. A terrifying, oppressive silence. Tong Tinh Van's face turned pale. Lips trembled continuously.

“It's not like that…”

“President Chu, I just…”

Chu Kinh Ngoc looked at her. His eyes were cold as if he were looking at a stranger. Like until today. Only then did he truly see her face clearly. His voice is very low. But every word suppressed anger.

“Before…”

“Is it all the same?”

Tong Tinh Van stiffened. Chu Kinh Ngoc continued to ask:

“Every time Khuong Yen says you make things difficult for her.”

“Every time you say it, you intentionally withhold her money.”

“Every time you say it, you insult her.”

“Are they all using tricks like this?”

Tong Tinh Van cried and shook his head.

"Are not right...”

“I didn't mean to…”

“I just love you so much…”

Chu Kinh Ngoc slowly closed his eyes. When I opened my eyes again. There is only absolute coldness left.

“From today.”

“You don't need to go back to the company anymore.”

Tong Tinh Van's face immediately changed.

“General Chu!”

“The benefits you receive through your position, the finance department will review each one.”

He turned to his assistant.

“Investigate carefully.”

“Whatever should be recalled will be recalled.”

"Whatever needs to be held accountable, we will pursue it to the end."

“No need to hold back.”

This time Tong Tinh Van was really scared. She rushed forward. Grabbing Chu Kinh Ngoc's sleeve tightly.

“General Chu!”

“You followed me for so many years!”

“You can't treat me like that!”
