Having already heard about Oh Jonghyuk’s money situation, Haeun asked about the next step.
“Can you contact him and find out what I should do? Oh Jonghyuk is making a fuss, telling me to send money.”
Lajin made a few more requests to Haeun, like a secret code.
At that moment, a large figure suddenly appeared at the end of the long corridor.
“Taehyung is coming. Let’s talk about the details later.”
Whispering, Lajin immediately ended the call with Haeun.
Lajin measured the distance with the manager with her eyes and handed the account number she received from Oh Jonghyuk to Haeun. Then, she promptly erased the message to leave no trace.
A call came from an unknown number, not even a cellphone number.
Normally, she would have considered it spam, but since her time with Lajin, Jiho answered every call.
“Yes.”
Instead of answering, a honk sounded loudly.
“Please speak.”
[Kang Jiho Prosecutor?]
“Yes. Who is this?”
[Um, it’s Haeun. I’m Lajin unnie’s coordinator.]Unexpectedly, Jiho’s heart raced at the unexpected caller. What could have happened to her, who was going to a script reading?
“What’s the matter?”
Jiho asked as calmly as possible.
[It seems like Oh Jonghyuk is making a fuss, asking for money.]That darn Oh Jonghyuk! Jiho gritted his teeth for a moment.
“Unnie hasn’t finished her work yet. She asked me to call and ask what to do.”
Since he had scenarios prepared in advance, Jiho wasn’t flustered.
“Go to Saehan Bank Sangam-dong branch. If you go to the innermost VIP room, they’ll take care of everything.”
As if trying not to miss a single word, Haeun repeated Jiho’s words while mumbling.
“And one more thing. Please tell Lajin to act surprised. Crying would be even better.”
With a goodbye, the call ended. Jiho, who was tapping the desk, made a call somewhere.
“Please link the account I’m sending now.”
[It’ll take 10 minutes.]“Yes. Also, send someone to Saehan Bank Sangam-dong branch VIP room for business. Prosecutor Yeohojin will leave from here.”
Since he already had planned tasks, there was no need to add many words.
Nevertheless, she was impressed by the girl who called after Oh Jonghyuk’s call. She shouldn’t be caught in a situation where she couldn’t be there for Lajin, and now she was behind Lajin.
In addition, Jiho was busy organizing the mysterious figures that Lajin had found out and the list that Oh Jung-kyu had taken at the Paper Company.
What’s so busy all of a sudden? Suppressing his pity and bitterness towards Lajin, Jiho struggled to endure.
“Hojin.”
With a dry face, Jiho called Hojin in the next room, getting up from his seat.
“Have you found it, senior?”
“Oh Jonghyuk contacted me. Let’s set it up before Lajin arrives.”
“When should I depart?”
“Now.”
30 minutes before the bank closed, Lajin, panting, pulled the transparent glass door.
“Oh!”
Both the employee sitting in the chair with a backrest and the customer sitting in the chair without a backrest poured admiration toward Lajin.
Even in this situation, Lajin didn’t forget to nod politely and jumped into the VIP room.
Skipping lunch for Oh Jonghyuk. It was frustrating to beg like a desperate person who couldn’t lend money.
However, since Oh Jonghyuk’s human CCTV manager was watching, Lajin planned to act her best. That way, the manager reporting to Oh Jonghyuk couldn’t say anything else.
“I want to transfer some money. It’s 200 million won.”
Breathing heavily, Lajin spoke to the VIP room staff.
“Oh! Park! Uh, yes! Please sit here. Take a breath and relax slowly. Oh? The documents first.”
Whether surprised by the sudden appearance of a celebrity or not, the female staff was in chaos at her seat. Eventually, leaving the documents marked with a fluorescent pen, the staff only offered a drink.
“Thank you, I’ll drink it well. But can I fill out what’s marked here?”
“Oh, yes! This is my first time dealing with a celebrity. S-sorry, I’m a fan.”
The employee, partially out of it, babbled, but when their eyes met Lajin’s, they jolted their hips.
“Here.”
As Lajin’s somewhat labored breath settled, she handed over the documents and identification simultaneously. The grumbling employee, still in a daze, went back and forth between the copier and the desk, still unfocused.
“Oh, what’s this? Manager!”
The female employee, who had been staring at the monitor, suddenly called another staff member.
“This account keeps bouncing back. Manager!”
The two employees leaned in towards the monitor, checking the account number alternately. Then, with a troubled expression, they looked at Lajin.
“Could you please double-check the account number? An error code is showing.”
“What? Wait a moment.”
Lajin opened the text window sent by Oh Jonghyuk, showing it to the employees.
“Could you try contacting Director Hyeong-sik? There seems to be something wrong with the account.”
Not wanting to call Oh Jonghyuk again, Lajin handed over the call to the manager. From the other side of Hyeong-sik’s phone during the call, vulgar words from Oh Jonghyuk leaked out.
But Lajin pretended not to hear anything, smiling slyly at the female employee.
“Um, while waiting, could you please take a few photos…?”
“Of course! Should I go this way?”
Swearing was Hyeong-sik’s business; her duty as a celebrity was to be faithful to fan service. While Lajin happily smiled, taking photos, the manager, with a distorted face, approached.
“The director says the account number is correct. He sent 100 million just the day before yesterday.”
Before Lajin could answer, the female employee spoke first.
“Ah, well then. I’ll check with the main support team.”
Busy employees talking all over the place even called the branch manager, it seemed.
What on earth is happening? At that moment, when Lajin was only glancing around, someone called her.
“Excuse me, Customer Park Lajin.”
“Still not working?”
“It seems the account you are receiving shows signs of being used for voice phishing.”
“V-voice phishing?”
Was this what Prosecutor Kang Jiho meant when he said he would take care of it himself? In a bewildering situation, Lajin grinned.
“All accounts under this name have been suspended, and the debt settlement process has begun.”
Suddenly, the advice left by Haeun on behalf of Prosecutor Kang Jiho came to mind. Act as surprised as possible, and it’s okay to cry. With a swift motion, Lajin wiped her forehead, grasping her emotions.
“My brother. He told me to send 200 million urgently from the United States. Is this a scam?”
“…”
“Hyeong-sik, report it to the police. Call the police!”
With her mouth agape, Lajin’s hands trembled.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
