Chapter 8 — Women Don't Need To Be Chosen

Sender: Lam Tu Phan. The content is only one line.

"To Niem, Miss To's biological mother's name is To Cam Hoa. She's been looking for you for twenty-six years."

I looked at that line for a long time, until my eyes were a little blurry. To Cam Hoa. The founder of Su Group is based in Shenzhen. Assets of hundreds of billions, in the top 100 richest people in China. I turned off email. Fingers are still shaking. I didn't reply to that email right away, but from that moment, every thought in my mind was occupied by it. The next day, Chu Can sent the results of the investigation, each line seemed to pull another layer of curtain before his eyes.

“Lam Tu Phan is To Cam Hoa's personal assistant, following her for 32 years.”

“Information about To Cam Hoa?”

“The founder and chairman of To Group is 61 years old, has never been married, and has no children.”

“No marriage, no children?”

“That's the public data, but…”

“But what?”

“Twenty-six years ago there was a vague record, she was hospitalized in Giang Thanh, obstetrics department.”

Twenty-six years ago. I am also twenty-six this year.

“After that, she left Giang Thanh and didn't come back until this year when she sent Lam Tu Phan.”

“So why did you leave me?”

“This matter… I haven't been able to look it up yet.”

I was silent for a long time, as if something was stirred up in my heart, but I couldn't reach it.

“This matter is for later.”

I interrupted my thoughts, forcing myself back to the present, because there was something more urgent going on. Zhu Hai has taken action. Not aimed at me, but directly forcing Luc Thi, through an intermediary, to convey word to Luc Canh Tham, demanding that within a week the cash flow of the East project must be restored, otherwise "other methods" will be used to recover 80,000,000 yuan. Luc Canh Tham panicked. He tried every way to contact me, called, texted, and even asked Mr. Luc to step in. This time the old man's voice was much heavier than before.

“Nien Niem, Zhu Hai is not easy to deal with, Canh Tham cannot maintain the situation.”

“I know.”

“What are you going to do?”

“I'm handling it.”

Hanging up, I called Tham Mac.

“Is the Eastern project plan finished yet?”

“It's done, as you predicted, the medical technology park is more effective, the board of directors has preliminarily approved it, it can be announced next week.”

“Help me finalize the release date for Wednesday.”

“Why Wednesday?”

“Because that was the deadline Zhu Hai gave Luc Canh Tham.”

The other party laughed lightly, his voice a little appreciative.

“You want to make him realize that his cards are no longer valuable before he makes his move.”

"If Dinh Huy develops a medical technology park in the East, his commercial project will face direct competition, the land value will decrease, and the expected profit from the other 80,000,000 yuan will also decrease. At that time, his optimal choice is not to confront me, but to return to the negotiating table."

“If you hadn't gotten married three years ago, Tinh Than Capital wouldn't have stopped at 47,000,000,000 yuan now.”

“Forget the past.”

“Okay, see you Wednesday.”

Hanging up, I opened the email again, reading every word, as if I wanted to find out what was hidden there.

"Her biological mother's name is To Cam Hoa. She's been looking for her for 26 years."

Twenty-six years. If it's true, why did you leave me? If it's fake... then with To Cam Hoa's position, there's no need to make up a story. But I'm not ready to face that yet. It's not the time yet. For now, I have to end this game. The phone vibrates again. Message from Bach Nhuoc Tinh.

“To Niem, I heard something, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Tien Ngoc Hoa borrowed 10,000,000 yuan from my father, saying it was to 'solve the problem', my father advised her not to take the risk, she didn't listen."

“Solve what?”

“Deal with you.”

I stared at the screen, the white light reflecting in my eyes. 10,000,000 yuan. Hire someone to handle me. Tien Ngoc Hoa... is really out of control.

“Are you sure?”

“Sure, I overheard it, no matter what I did before, I still find this too much.”

I turned off the message and immediately called Chu Can.

“Security increased from now on, 24 hours.”

"What is up?"

“Tien Ngoc Hoa can do stupid things.”

"Not sure yet, but prepare the worst plan, and also help me contact Luc Canh Tham."

“You want to meet him?”

“Tell him, if he still wants to keep Luc Thi, come see me tomorrow.”
