Chapter 14 — Unlock Message 8.72 Billion After Divorce
Right at that moment. The phone rang. It's Co Thua Trach.
"Are you done listening?"
"What are you going to do?"
"First we have to confirm grandpa's illness."
"And then what?"
"Chu Chi Vien..."
"...untouched for now."
"Fighting a snake into the grass is not as good as casting a line for a big fish."
"I need to know..."
"...what investment fund or corporation is behind Trieu Duc Hai?"
The other end of the line quickly responded.
"I will let someone investigate."
I called softly.
"Co Cheng Ze."
"Thank you."
He laughed very softly.
"No need."
"I told you."
"When do you need..."
"...just look for me."
After hanging up. I sat still in the office for a long time. Then take the car keys. Drive straight to the To family mansion. Grandpa was still sitting in the study drinking tea like every day. I walked in. Quietly looked at him. Today's face is not good. Lips are a bit pale. But the spirit is still quite alert. Seeing me, he smiled and asked:
"Such a serious face."
I looked at him for a long time. Then quietly asked:
"Your health..."
"...really?"
He smiled and waved his hand.
"You're very healthy."
"Eating anything is delicious."
I looked straight into his eyes.
"Really?"
The smile on his face gradually disappeared. He put down the tea cup.
"Did someone say anything to you?"
"Last month's health check..."
"...did the doctor find out anything?"
Grandpa's expression changed slightly.
"How do you know?"
I looked straight at him.
"I just want to ask a question."
"Is that true?"
He was silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed softly.
"Your liver has a tumor."
"The doctor said..."
"...high possibility of malignancy."
"Want to come to an accurate conclusion..."
"...must have a biopsy."
I clenched my fists.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
He smiled gently.
"I just returned to the company."
"So many things are pending."
"If I say it now..."
"...just distracts you more."
"Grandpa..."
He waved his hand.
"Alright."
"You know what's heavy and what's light."
"Next week he will have a biopsy."
"Wait for the results and then continue calculating."
I walked in front of him. Sit down quietly. Looking at the much older face of the person who always protected me.
"You must be healthy."
He smiled. Reach out and pat my head like you did when you were a child.
"Stupid girl."
Leave the study room. I stood in the courtyard of the mansion for nearly ten minutes. Then take out your phone. Send Co Thua Trach a message. Have you investigated the person behind Trieu Duc Hai yet? Very quickly, he answered. Investigating. There is currently a link leading to Dinh Thinh Investment Company. This company is registered in Hong Kong. I frowned. Dinh Thinh? The next message immediately appeared. Established less than two years. Capital is very strong. But the person behind hid his identity very carefully. I replied. Continue investigation. A moment later. Co Thua Trach texted again. As for Chu Chi Vien... When are you going to tell President To? I looked at the screen for a long time. Not yet. His health is not good. If he knew about this now... He wouldn't be able to bear it. Wait until you have the biopsy results and then continue calculating. His last message appeared. I will let someone follow Trieu Duc Hai. If there's any movement, I'll let you know immediately. I put the phone away. The moonlight covered the entire To family mansion. Three years ago... The night I married Luc Vien Chau... It was also such a beautiful moonlit night. I thought I had found happiness. But now... I understand. Happiness... Not given by others. But you have to win it yourself. The next morning. Trieu Duc Hai took action. Faster than I expected. Just early morning. To Thi Group's legal department has received an official document. Sender... Dinh Thinh Investment Company. The content clearly states: Dinh Thinh Investment currently holds 8% of the outstanding shares of To Thi Group, and at the same time requests to convene an extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders to discuss restructuring the leadership board. Attached document... Is the voting authorization letter of three small shareholders. Liu Jianguo. Vuong Hai Ba. Tran Lap Minh. These three people assigned all voting rights to Dinh Thinh Investment. The three shareholders combined hold: 12% of the shares. 8% shares of Dinh Thinh Investment. Total... 20% shares. That number... is qualified to officially propose the dismissal of the General Director at the General Meeting of Shareholders. I held the documents. Sit quietly in your office for about five minutes. Make two phone calls. The first one. It's for Co Thua Trach.
"Dinh Thinh Investment has taken action."
"They have 8% shares."
"Plus 12% from three small shareholders."
"Currently in their hands is 20%."
The other end of the line immediately responded.
"I know."
"The person behind Dinh Thinh Investment..."
"...it's been investigated."
"Co Thua Trach's voice was low."
"Trinh Vien."
I stopped. My heart seemed to stop beating for a moment. Trinh Vien. Former General Director of To Thi Group. My dad's college friend. Twelve years ago... He was dismissed by his grandfather for embezzlement. Then disappeared completely from the business world.
"He's back."
Co Thua Trach said.
"He waited twelve years."
"This..."
"...more complicated than I thought."
"In the past, Trinh Vien was fired..."
"...not just because of embezzlement."
"It's possible..."
"...in his hands he still kept some of To Thi's secrets from many years ago."
