Chapter 17 — Unlock Message 8.72 Billion After Divorce

If right at the Shareholders' Meeting, he made all those documents public, then even if I won the vote, To Thi's stock price would still plummet. I have to disable that card before the Shareholders' Meeting takes place. How to do it? There are only two directions. First, get the original documents that are in Trinh Vien's hands. Second, prepare a response plan to minimize the impact of the shady transaction in the past. The first direction is almost impossible. A card that Trinh Vien has been hiding for twelve years will definitely not be revealed easily. So there is only the second way left. I called the Legal Director.

"Tieu Luu, help me check all documents related to the first plot of land that To Thi auctioned in Giang Thanh twenty years ago. Including approval procedures and all cash flows. I need all original documents."

"Twenty years ago? This... maybe we have to go to the Government Archives to look up..."

"Use the fastest speed."

Then I made another phone call. Is Editor-in-Chief Truong of Giang Thanh Commercial Newspaper.

"Miss Truong, I want to ask you a favor."

"General Manager To just say it."

"If someone plans to use the media to bring up To Thi's old stories, can you help me prepare a positive article in advance?"

"What angle do you want to deploy?"

"Twenty years of development of To Thi Group. Focus on writing about To Thi's contributions to Giang Thanh's economy, the number of jobs created, the amount of taxes paid. All data must be accurate and convincing."

"Are you preparing in advance as a precaution?"

"That's right. If someone spreads unfavorable news, I need positive information to be posted immediately to balance public opinion."

"I see. When is it needed?"

"Before the day after tomorrow."

"No problem."

Hanging up, I made the last call to Co Thua Trach.

"I need a very good financial expert to help stabilize To Thi's stock price before the Shareholders' Meeting. If Trinh Vien spreads bad news right at the meeting, I need someone to buy in on the secondary market to prevent the stock price from collapsing."

The other end of the line immediately replied:

"I'll tell my investment team to prepare. How much capital do you need?"

"There must be at least 5 billion yuan in reserves."

"Okay. But To Niem..."

"5 billion yuan is not a small number. What are you planning to exchange with me?"

"You say it."

"After the Shareholders' Meeting ends, go have a meal with me. Don't discuss work."

I paused for a second, then burst out laughing. Grandpa's surgery is scheduled for Wednesday. The person directly performing the surgery is the best hepatobiliary specialist in the entire city. The night before the surgery, I stayed at the hospital with him.

"Stressed?" He looked at me and asked.

"I should ask if you're stressed or not."

"What do you have to worry about? Living to be eighty years old is worth it."

"Don't say that."

"If... you said that if... the surgery happens unexpectedly, then you have to shoulder To Thi's affairs yourself. Don't sell To Thi to Co Thua Trach, and don't bow down to anyone. To Thi Group is the third thing you gave your life to get."

I held his hand tightly.

"You'll be okay."

He nodded slightly.

"Yes. But there are still things must warn in advance. I already know the password to the safe. In it is a letter my father left for me. Wait for him to finish the surgery and then open it."

"Why don't you give it to me right now?"

"Because if you watch it now, you'll be distracted."

I was about to say something. But he closed his eyes. Eight o'clock Wednesday morning. The surgery officially begins. I sat outside the operating room, holding the phone in both hands. Co Thua Trach sent a message.

"What's the situation?"

I replied.

"Waiting."

Very quickly, he texted back.

"I'll wait with you."

After that he didn't say anything more. But I know... On the other side of the screen, you are always there. Three hours later. The operating room door opened. The chief surgeon stepped out and took off his mask.

"The surgery was very successful. The tumor was completely removed, the cut area was clean. President To's physical condition is quite good, the recovery process will be relatively quick."

My legs suddenly felt weak. I almost couldn't stand.

"Thank you, doctor."

The phone vibrated again. Co Thua Trach asked:

"How's it going?"

I replied.

"It's successful."

His message appeared almost immediately.

"To Niem, the Shareholders' Meeting the day after tomorrow..."

"Are you ready yet?"

I looked at the screen. Smiling softly.

"Already ready."

He only left one sentence.

"Then let's go to war."
