Chapter 31

A detective who was sent down to the director’s room came back running in. But he wasn’t alone.

‘Huh?’

The Director Sang Yugeun also walked in together with the man.

“S-sir!”

Oh Yubung became surprised and quickly got up and saluted to his boss. Sang Yugeun nodded and glanced over to Jo Yusung.

“Mr. Jo. It’s been a long time.”

“How have you been, sir? I am sorry I had to drop in at such a time.”

Jo Yusung got up and politely greeted the director. It seemed that Director Sang Yugeun knew Jo Yusung very well.

“I am sorry I cannot treat you better. You know about our circumstances. So, the letter. Was it written by Director Yoon?”

“Yes, sir.”

“You have the approval, so I’ll process it right away.”

‘WHAT?!’

Oh Yubung became shocked. He was certain that the request would be turned down without hesitation, but it turned out it wasn’t. Instead, the Director himself came down to take care of the matter with his own hands.

‘What in the world…’

He became dumbfounded and saw Jo Yusung looking at him with a smile. His smile seemed to say that he had won, which made Oh Yubung frown.

*Ring*

The elevator door opened and Oh Yubung walked out from it with Chun Yeowun. Jo Yusung, who had been waiting by the lobby, bowed and greeted.

“I’m sorry for the trouble, Sir Musung.”

“Musung?”

Chun Yeowun was confused before he heard Jo Yusung’s telepathic message coming into his ears.

[I did not hear your name, so I had to create a fake name while working on your identity. If you tell me your name, I can have it fixed right away.]

Chun Yeowun nodded simply at the message. He thought it was an interesting coincidence when his temporary name matched exactly with his future descendant, Chun Musung.

“Who’s that next to you?”

“He’s Attorney Yi Hyun from KD Law firm. It is our company’s retainer law firm. Attorney Yi worked hard to take care of the documents overnight.”

“How are you. I am Yi Hyun.”

Yi Hyun bowed simply to Yeowun. Jo Yusung then guided them outside of headquarters and spoke.

“Why don’t we head out? This place is quite busy right now.”

As Jo Yusung said, the lobby was crowded with detectives and investigators. They were drawing white lines by the lobby floor, gathering blood samples and whatnot. And on the way out, 1st team leader Oh Yusung spoke to Chun Yeowun with an uncomfortable tone.

“Hey, medieval man. I don’t know who’s got your back, but be careful. I have my eyes on you.”

He was warning Chun Yeowun about getting out of the PSB unharmed. Chun Yeowun tried to speak out, but Jo Yusung and Yi Hyun stopped him, saying there was no need to respond and took him out to the black sedan parked outside the building. Even when Chun Yeowun was sitting down inside the car, Oh Yubung was still glaring like an enraged monster. Jo Yusung then closed the door and sat next to Chun Yeowun.

“You shouldn’t mind him, sir. We have eyes watching, so it’s no good getting into a fight with a detective within…”

That’s when Chun Yeowun, who was looking outside the window, gestured of grabbing something with his hand.

“UGH!”

That’s when Oh Yubung, who had turned and was about to go back inside, suddenly grabbed his stomach and dropped to the ground, trembling. Investigators around quickly ran up to him to help.

‘Oh no…’

Chun Yeowun had surely done something to him. Jo Yusung became shocked and quickly spoke to the driver.

“Let’s go.”

The driver quickly pressed down on the accelerator and began driving out of headquarters. When they were safely outside, Jo Yusung sighed in relief.

“I understand how you might feel, but you can’t react to every single…”

“What time is it right now?”

“Parden? Time?”

Jo Yusung became surprised. He became frustrated that he realized maybe Chun Yeowun was trying to ask Jo Yusung for the reason of being late.

“If it is because about the time, I apologize. I tried my best to be quick but…”

Jo Yusung then pressed on the smartphone on his wrist.

[07:17 AM]

“It’s 7:17 AM. I got to the PSB around 6:30, but I had to ask for my request to be approved…”

“You have too many excuses.”

‘Ugh.’

Jo Yusung sighed at Chun Yeowun’s cold voice. Jo Yusung had many experiences with such style of people while working in human resources.

‘Is he trying to pick on stuff to raise his wager? He’s smarter than I thought.’

Jo Yusung became annoyed and tried to ignore it, but he had invested too much to do that now.

“Okay, okay. I am sorry, I concede. I will talk to the director to raise…”

*SLASH*

It was even before he could finish speaking. The flexible smartphone on his wrist was cracked horizontally in not half. His left hand then dropped to the floor of the car.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!”

Jo Yusung screamed in pain after getting his hand cut off. Chun Yeowun spoke coldly.

“I was going to let it go, but you talked too much.”

“Ugh…”

“I see that you did hard work overnight and let it go with a hand and not with an arm.”

Chun Yeowun did go easy on it, but it didn’t mean anything to Jo Yusung.

‘Ugh… he really… cut my hand…!’

He regretted not considering much about Chun Yeowun’s warning but it was too late.
