After Chairman Jo’s misdeeds were revealed to the world after 20 years, already three weeks have passed. However, people still didn’t stop criticizing him. Eventually, a nationwide arrest warrant was issued, including the secretary who had gone into hiding with him.
Moreover, with Chairman Jo’s criminal acts being highlighted, Minhyung’s trial became increasingly difficult. Chairman Jo, who hid in a small villa, was quietly waiting for the right opportunity.
Once he tidies up the hidden assets, he will prepare for escape. In Korea, his face had become too well-known, making it impossible to hide any longer. In fact, he had no lingering attachments to leaving Korean soil, but if there was one thing bothering him, it was his son Minhyung.
Until just recently, Minhyung, who seemed like an enemy just by turning his head, was his only flesh and blood in the world. He couldn’t help but have affection for him.
Moreover, these days, Minhyung kept coming to his mind.
“You haven’t eaten anything today either.”
The secretary entered and, seeing the untouched food from the morning, mumbled.
“I have no appetite. Anyway, what is Minhyung doing?”
“Manager seems to be enduring well. Do you want to see him?”
“I want to. I want to see him.”
Chairman Jo nodded, looking unrecognizably haggard, not to mention that his beard had grown considerably.
“It seems impossible. I thought about it, but it’s probably right for Minhyung to go with us. Think about it. That brat, once the trial is over, looking at the current situation, he won’t be able to endure even a day without me. How will he survive without me? Our Minhyung is weak-minded, despite his actions. It’s not like he can endure in such a place without me.”
“…”
“So, we should take Minhyung with us.”
“But the preparations have been made for only you and me.”
“Then check again with Minhyung included. Money is not an issue.”
Chairman Jo had no intention of leaving Korean soil without his son Minhyung. Of course, if Minhyung were prosperous, Chairman Jo could disappear alone without any problem. But now, Minhyung had become nothing more than a puppet for Serin.
If Minhyung were to receive a death sentence and serve time in prison, he would not live under his own name under any circumstances.
“You know, contacting Manager now is too risky. Since your disappearance, the police are surely keeping an eye on him.”
“Who doesn’t know that? You wouldn’t understand because you haven’t raised a child. Do you know what a child is to a father?”
“…”
“How much money has been arranged?”
“If you wait another two or three days, it should be ready.”
“Really? Then quickly find out about Minhyung’s situation. I will never leave Korean soil without Minhyung. Even if I die, I can’t close my eyes without seeing him.”
“Yes. Understood.”
The secretary bowed and left. Then Chairman Jo urgently made a call on his new mobile phone.
Meanwhile, Chairman Jo looked at the faces of Taehjun and Serin on the screen again. His stomach twisted, and his upper stomach felt sour.
“These two… I just can’t…”
Even if he tore them apart, it seemed like his anger wouldn’t subside. But now was not the right time. Once he escaped to China, he planned to deal with Taejun and Serin. That way, he wouldn’t be able to exact revenge on him on Korean soil.
Yes, just endure a little longer.
It might not be long before he could escape.
The secretary, who had finished the call, came in and reported the progress.
“Fortunately, it seems we can easily add Manager to the plan. The problem is… the contact with Manager.”
“When is the date?”
“The earliest we could secure is three days from now. Before that, Manager should be brought here. I’ll have to stay around Manager and observe the timing of the contact. Just in case… Can you stay alone? It won’t be possible to bring Manager immediately, so I think I should take my time and watch.”
“Of course! Go up right away, today! Bring Minhyung back safely!”
If Minhyung returned safely, what was the problem with being alone for a few days!
While watching the secretary bow and leave to prepare for departure, Chairman Jo felt a momentary excitement. Finally, the thought of seeing his son.
“Oh, this is not the time for this. I should shave my beard.”
He had lived like a dying man for these few days. His hair, which had always been kept short, was already long and disheveled, and his beard, untrimmed, made him look like a homeless man.
He couldn’t meet Minhyung looking like this.
Still, he was his son.
His son who looked up to him like the sky.
His son.
Chairman Jo went to the bathroom and took up a razor for the first time in a while.
“Chairman Jo is quickly organizing his hidden assets.”
Looking at Taejun muttering while looking at his phone in bed, Serin turned off the stand lamp and turned to him.
“You’re thinking of leaving Korea soon.”
“Probably.”
“We need to catch him before that. I can’t stand seeing that guy escape like that.”

Short scene 2:

Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
