“There happened to be a security guard I hired nearby, but he was a bit far away, so it was difficult to take immediate action. When the car was about to hit Ms. Ji-yeon and Manager Kang, Manager Kang pushed Ms. Ji-yeon against the wall, so Ms. Ji-yeon wasn’t hit, but Manager Kang was struck by the car. Fortunately, there are no fractures, but she was hit by the car and thrown a few places. It’s fortunate that it was an alley, so the car couldn’t gain more speed.”
It was an unbelievable story.
Ji-yeon, who had only seen such incidents on news programs, couldn’t believe that it had happened to her and her acquaintance.
Stunned by Kang Hyun’s story, Ji-yeon couldn’t speak for a while.
“When she fell, Ms. Ji-yeon lost consciousness due to a concussion, and she just woke up now. The security guards caught Jeong Se-ah, who was trying to escape.”
“What about Manager Kang…?”
“She is resting in the next room, so don’t worry too much.”
“Jeong Se-ah. Where is this crazy woman now?”
Still unable to believe the story, Ji-yeon raised her voice.
“The police took her into custody. She will be immediately investigated. Ms. Ji-yeon, for now, focus on getting stable and on your treatment.”
At that moment, the door of the hospital room opened, and Ji-eun, with tears streaming down her face, walked in.
“Ji-yeon! What’s going on!”
Ji-eun, who rarely showed tears for trivial matters, was too shocked by the news of Ji-yeon’s injury.
“Hello, Director.”
“Mr. Kang Hyun, what is going on? First, I didn’t inform your parents.”
“Yes, let me step out for a moment to explain in detail. Ji-yeon is resting with her eyes closed. I’ll talk to the Director and be back soon.”
Kang Hyun took Ji-eun outside for Ji-yeon’s sake.
Ji-yeon couldn’t believe that Jeong Se-ah had done such a thing.
“How crazy do you have to be, Jeong Se-ah?”
At the police station.
The station was bustling with noise due to a woman shouting loudly.
The owner of the voice was Jeong Se-ah.
“This is all because of my inexperienced driving! Why would I try to hit someone! That’s not true.”
“Jeong Se-ah, where are you playing innocent! There’s CCTV evidence of you accelerating toward those two. You did it with bad intentions! This was completely planned, wasn’t it, this woman?”
“I just met Eun Ji-yeon briefly to talk! I was planning to get closer when I suddenly accelerated. Why won’t you believe me! Why!”
“You have to tell the truth to be believed! Jeong Se-ah, when did you plan this!”
“Is this how the police work? Why don’t you listen to the words of ordinary people and only favor the daughter of a chaebol! I just made a mistake due to inexperienced driving! Why would I plan something so ridiculous! Why won’t you believe me!”
“If you keep lying when the investigation will reveal everything, it’ll only be disadvantageous for you.”
“Ah! Get me a lawyer! Call a lawyer for me! Who do you think you are, treating me like a criminal! I’ll meet a lawyer and tell everything! This is a conspiracy to send me to jail!”

The more he talked with the lawyer, Min-woo fell into deeper worry.
The problems were more serious than he had anticipated, and among the various accusations, there were things he didn’t even know about.
Realizing that all the arrows from the actions directed by Chairman Cha Seung-jo were aimed at him, it was shocking.
“Let me be direct, Executive Cha Min-woo. If things continue like this, you won’t be able to avoid imprisonment. The key is how much we can reduce the duration of that sentence.”
Lawyer Yoon Min-ho, the representative of the law firm Pine Tree, who participated in this case to attract media attention, stared at Min-woo with an unruffled tone.
“It’s absurd! What terrible thing did I do to deserve a prison sentence! Embezzlement and misappropriation? No money has entered my pocket. And most of the accusations are inflated.”
“I can only help if you tell me everything without hiding. As we investigate this case further, most of the evidence strengthens the fact that Director Cha personally planned and executed most of it.”
Attorney Yoon Min-ho, whose eyes gleamed sharply, cornered Min-woo.
“Currently, Chairman Cha Seung-jo is not cooperating at all. Even in interviews, he only expresses anger, claiming he hasn’t done anything himself and insists that you talk to Director Cha. But, without them speaking the truth, I can’t offer any help.”
“Ah… Is that how my father is coming out now?”
“In the end, one of the two will inevitably receive a more severe sentence. The person who planned and executed this and gained benefits.”
With the lawyer’s words, Min-woo covered his head with both hands.
“Who could that be? Think carefully, Executive Cha Min-woo.”
The more they talked, the more he felt like an abandoned pawn.
It had always been like that.
Whenever his father started some dirty business, he was always the one dragged into it.
“If you think about the future, you should work harder. You still have a long way to go compared to your brothers, Gun-woo and Jae-woo.”
Kim Ji-won’s children.
Putting Gun-woo and Jae-woo first in her thoughts, she was always in the background.
Noble and good things were always their share, and dirty and difficult things were always his.
Even in this case, they seemed to have cleverly escaped, making him feel unfairly treated.
In fact, this case was something most in the industry avoided.
It was full of clear evidence and circumstances showing the corruption of Cha Seung-jo and Cha Min-woo, and the media and the public turning their backs on them made the situation very unfavorable.
The lawsuit against C&C Global, which was expected to clearly end up in defeat, ranking among the top 30 in the business world.
Therefore, famous law firms were hesitant.
But Attorney Yoon Min-ho’s thoughts were a bit different.
Since it was clear that they would lose, he was okay with losing.
Instead, he wanted the case to get bigger, more stimulating, and to expose this incident to the public and companies in a more provocative way.
This opportunity was a perfect chance to announce the name of the tilting “Pine Tree Law Firm,” which had been handling only small cases, to a wider audience.
“Executive Cha Min-woo, reveal what you’re hiding, what you know. If you keep hiding it and later try to avoid getting into trouble, it won’t end well.”
Yoon Min-ho’s voice sounded chillingly cold.
“Chairman Cha Seung-jo, haven’t you done enough for decades? But, Executive, in the prime of your life, are you going to overturn everything and spend several years in a dark prison? And all this for something you don’t even know about? And for money you’ve never touched with your own hands?”
Like the serpent tempting Eve in the Garden of Eden, Yoon Min-ho seduced and pressured Cha Min-woo.
“Executive Cha Min-woo, time is running out, so I won’t beat around the bush any longer.”
Yoon Min-ho’s eyes gleamed like a snake with its prey in front.
“Will you be abandoned, or will you abandon?”
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…
