Soo-cheol pondered how to resolve the situation, but he felt at a loss.
Not publishing a correction article worsened the situation within a day, and articles were pouring out as if hyenas were tearing at their prey, targeting the victim.
So far, Yuso Group had been quick to take down unfavorable articles to prevent damage to its image. However, this time was different. It had been a long time since articles poured out like this.
Frustration erupted when an article confidently claimed that he had peculiar tastes.
“Damn reporters. They’re really cocky. Just wait a bit. I’ll sue them all for spreading false information. Go ahead and rampage as much as you want now.”
That’s how things worked in this field. If you stayed quiet, they saw you as an easy target and attacked even more fiercely. Waiting foolishly for this incident to be buried in other scandals wasn’t an option.
“That old man spoke about Yeon-sil as if he knows her well. It really gets on my nerves.”
When Soo-cheol talked with Chang-jung, it was uncomfortable how familiarly he spoke about Yeon-sil.
How in the world were those two so close? He had known Yeon-sil for a long time, but the fact that Chang-jung and she had connections was news to him.
“Moreover, the fact that documents written by Baek Yeon-sil, who I’ve been searching for over ten years, were in that old man’s hands.”
Soo-cheol rubbed his unshaved chin with his palm, struggling. The piece of paper was a document containing the conditions for marriage written by Baek Yeon-sil.
It couldn’t be said to be forged, as his signature and fingerprints were on it. It was embarrassing. If that were made public, it would attract even more attention than now.
That wasn’t the only problem. He recalled the absurd condition he had included in his desire to have Yeon-sil at that time, offering more than half of his Yuso shares to Da-hyun.
In the past, when the internet and technology hadn’t advanced, problematic incidents could be covered up with money. Feed them generously, and they’d be silenced peacefully.
However, times had progressed rapidly, and the analog era had already passed.
If the police didn’t handle it, someone else would step up. Even without a face, in this day and age, it was entirely possible.
This era was one where netizens could find and expose the faces of even non-publicized criminals.
This incident would surely be seized by someone who wanted to realize justice. It was evident that they would investigate and find out why Yeon-sil and he got married.
“This can’t be settled in advance with money. Oh, I’ve got a headache.”
Soo-cheol’s temples throbbed painfully at the mere thought, imagining what it would be like. Since Yeon-sil fell into a coma due to a traffic accident, Soo-cheol had been tidying up around her.
“I made sure there were no witnesses at that time, so there’s no one who knows about that day. Even if it’s exposed, it won’t be worse than now.”
However, if Chang-jung publicly disclosed not just a part but the entire content of the marriage contract that Yeon-sil received, it could make people who knew Yeon-sil appear in an unfavorable light.
“If someone else like that old man shows up and knows about Yeon-sil… No! It can’t be! It shouldn’t happen like that.”
Soo-cheol muttered to himself, tapping the back of his neck with his fist. Rising blood pressure would only harm him.
His adversary was Kang Chang-jung. Chang-jung in his younger days was impressive even by his standards. The growth of the current HG Group owed much to Chang-jung’s substantial capabilities.
He had even caused a stir by publicly stating that he prioritized the company over family. He was indifferent to the gaze around him, as cold-blooded as it gets, caring only about human relationships and personal affairs if they helped him.
“Well, now he’s no different from a tiger without sharp teeth.”
The past was just the past. Soo-cheol thought that if he handled it calmly and objectively, he could corner Chang-jung.
However, there was another variable. If Kang Min-hyuk knew that he wasn’t Da-hyun’s biological father, he would immediately exclude Yuso from the project.
It wasn’t time yet.
“We need to stall.”
Soo-cheol checked the day when Min-hyuk would reveal the project.
“Six days left until then.”
Until that day, he had to prevent Chang-jung from going on a rampage. Soo-cheol seriously considered how much Chang-jung might know, but he couldn’t find an answer.
He had no idea that Yeon-sil trusted and confided in Chang-jung to the extent that she did. How could he have expected that? Soo-cheol pursed his dry lips.
“As long as that incident doesn’t come to light. The hospital where Yeon-sil is should be fine for now, without any noticeable changes.”
Even for a large corporation, the crime of murder was something they couldn’t handle.
“He couldn’t have found out about that incident, right?”
Soo-cheol was afraid of how much Chang-jung might know. He had neatly handled even the driver who had hit the car Yeon-sil was in.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
