Chapter 13 — Unlock Message 8.72 Billion After Divorce

No more elaborate makeup. No more designer handbags. The face is bare and pale. On his body was just a normal jacket. The whole person looked at least five years older. She sat down opposite me. Quietly place a USB on the table. Lam Uyen Nhi pushed the USB towards me.

"The recordings are all in here."

"There are three segments in total, total duration is 47 minutes."

I looked at the USB.

"What's inside?"

She took a deep breath and slowly said:

"The first part is the conversation between me and Trieu Duc Hai."

"He told me to find a way to approach Co Thua Trach."

"The second part is a phone call between Trieu Duc Hai and another person."

"They discussed plans to buy shares from small shareholders in To Thi Group."

Saying this, she paused. The whole person seemed to be hesitating.

"And the third part..."

"...was a meeting between Trieu Duc Hai and a person from the To Thi Group."

I looked straight at her. Lam Uyen Nhi slowly replied:

"Your grandfather's secretary."

"Chu Chi Vien."

My hand that was reaching out in mid-air suddenly stopped. Chu Chi Vien. The person who followed his grandfather for 20 years. He was even the person who had been by his side longer than Butler Chu. Also the person my grandfather trusted the most. I stared at Lam Uyen Nhi.

"Are you sure?"

She nodded.

"I'm sure."

"In the recording there is his voice."

"They also discussed in detail about President To's recent health condition."

"From illness..."

"...treatment plan..."

"...as far as how long he can hold out."

"Trieu Duc Hai needs that information..."

"...to calculate the time to strike."

I unconsciously clenched my fist. Nails dug deep into the palms of his hands until they were painful.

"Lin Uyen Nhi."

"If you dare to deceive me..."

She calmly interrupted.

"I have no reason to lie to you."

"You may not believe me."

"...you can listen to the recording first."

"If it's fake..."

"...you don't need to give me any money."

I picked up the USB.

"1,000,000 yuan."

"After verifying everything is true..."

"...within three days I will deliver it to you."

"You can go now."

Lam Uyen Nhi stood up. It seemed like he wanted to say something.

"What else?"

She bowed her head.

"...Sorry."

I quietly looked at her. Then just say one sentence. Lam Uyen Nhi turned around and left the shop. Right after that. Co Thua Trach walked over from the next table. Sit down opposite me.

"I heard everything."

I nodded slightly.

"Chu Chi Vien's story..."

"Don't jump to conclusions."

"Let's go listen to the recording first."

Return to To Thi Group headquarters. I plugged the USB into a computer completely separate from the Internet. Three recordings. I opened each paragraph one by one. First paragraph. It's a conversation between Trieu Duc Hai and Lam Uyen Nhi.

"Uyen Nhi."

"The other day you lured Luc Vien Chau."

"It's not difficult to approach Co Thua Trach."

"What you need to do is make him trust you."

"Then find a way to get me Co Thi Group's internal business secrets."

Lam Uyen Nhi's voice rang out.

"General Manager Trieu."

"Co Thua Trach is not like Luc Vien Chau."

"Luc Vien Chau is just a warm boy."

"And Co Thua Trach..."

"...is a true business genius."

Trieu Duc Hai coldly replied:

"Don't care."

"You just need to approach him."

"How to reach..."

"...think for yourself."

I turned off the first recording fairy. Open the second paragraph. It was a phone call between Trieu Duc Hai and a man.

"Old Truong."

"To Thi's three small shareholders, including Luu Kien Quoc and the other two..."

"...together they hold 12% of the shares."

"As long as they give me the voting rights."

"Plus the 3% shares I secretly bought..."

"...is already 15%."

"If we combine additional external capital..."

The man on the other side asked:

"But To Thi's controlling shareholder still holds 51%."

Trieu Duc Hai smiled faintly.

"President To's health cannot last much longer."

"If only he fell."

"Little To Niem will not be able to stabilize the situation."

"Until then..."

"...just need to collect enough shares..."

"...attracted a few more Board members to protest..."

"...everything will be very easy."

I continued to open the last paragraph. As soon as the first voice rang out... I recognized it. It's Chu Chi Vien. Trieu Duc Hai asked:

"How is President To's health recently?"

Chu Chi Vien replied:

"Last month's health check..."

"...discovered liver tumor."

"The doctor ordered surgery as soon as possible."

"But the Chairman refused."

"He said..."

"...wait until To Niem stabilizes the company before considering it."

Trieu Duc Hai continued to ask:

"How long can he hold out?"

Chu Chi Vien replied:

"The doctor said..."

"...without surgery..."

"...about half a year to a year."

Trieu Duc Hai smiled slightly.

"Half a year..."

"...is enough."

The recording ends. I sat quietly in the office. The computer screen went black. Grandpa is sick. The liver has a tumor. But he never told me. As for Chu Chi Vien... The person who had been by his side for 20 years... sold all that information to Trieu Duc Hai. Twenty years. Just thinking about that number... I feel cold.
