While the startled directors avoided eye contact, Chairman Baek looked at Seorin with a composed expression.
“What about Representative Kang?”
“He’ll come.”
“Good. I hope he doesn’t come too late this time.”
Mumbling about the dramatic entrance Taehoon made during the temporary shareholders’ meeting, Chairman Baek expressed something, but the intention couldn’t be understood.
A while later, everyone took their assigned seats. However, Taejun hadn’t revealed himself yet. Although he promised to come not too late this time, was there traffic?
Checking her wristwatch, Seorin sent a message on her phone.
[Dash] Where are you? Are you coming?But before hearing Taejun’s reply, the shareholders’ meeting had started.
“Hmm… Chairman Baek hasn’t moved much. Looking at the attendance and the lack of significant changes in shares…”
“I don’t know if it’s because they haven’t moved or couldn’t move, but it seems like the situation is like that for now. If Vice President makes up his mind and opposes, Chairman Baek may be able to prevent taking the position of CEO, but I think there might be opposition from other shareholders. Anyway, we can’t leave the position of CEO vacant for too long.”
In response to Sodam’s words, Taejun nodded and checked his wristwatch. Then, looking out the window to assess the situation, he asked,
“What on earth is happening? Why is the traffic so congested? It feels like we’ve been stuck here for thirty minutes.”
“Yeah, it’s strange. Did there be an accident up ahead?”
Sodam stretched her neck forward to see the situation, but she couldn’t figure out what had happened.
It was frustrating. It was only about 10 more minutes to Seongwon Building, but the road was completely blocked, and they couldn’t move. However, abandoning the car and walking was not an option. It was only a 10-minute distance by car, but on foot, it would be a much longer 30-minute walk.
Eventually, Sodam unbuckled her seatbelt.
“I’ll go check and be back. If it doesn’t work, we need to find another way to get out of here. You have to arrive at the shareholder meeting before the voting on the agenda begins.”
To confirm what happened, Sodam got out of the car and disappeared into the front. Watching her disappearing, Taejun turned his gaze back to the tablet.
How much time had passed like that?
Suddenly, the surrounding cars began to move. When Taejun turned his gaze, Clarkson shouted from behind. Eventually, he picked up his phone and called Sodam.
“Where are you? The car is starting to move now.”
[Oh, there was an accident up ahead. It’s a bus accident, so many people are injured. So, I’m helping a bit. Will you come driving to the big intersection? I’m there now.]“Got it.”
In the end, he got out of the back seat, moved to the driver’s seat, and took hold of the steering wheel. However, now that the traffic jam had just cleared, he had to drive slowly. The opposite lane was already cleared and moving at a normal speed.
Again, the traffic light turned red, and the car stopped.
Following the movement of the front car, he also pressed the brake to stop the car. However, a black sedan from the opposite lane made a loud noise, rushed forward, and suddenly turned, crashing into his car.
Bang!
Due to the strong impact, his car was pushed, and the surrounding cars also suffered damage. However, the damage was not as great as his car, which was hit head-on.
Tremendous pain overwhelmed him, paralyzing his senses. The precarious streetlights flickered, alternating between darkness and brightness.
He was disoriented.
What on earth had happened?
Struggling to regain his composure, Taejun opened the crumpled driver’s seat door and staggered out with unsteady steps. He looked around. It was already a chaotic scene.
In the midst of it all, Taejun looked at his crashed car and the reversing vehicle. However, at that moment, along with pain, his stomach churned, and unable to endure any longer, he collapsed on the spot.
The world spun around, and his vision flickered.
Everything began to appear in slow motion. The cheers and shouts of people only sounded like a humming noise in his ears.
But then, at that moment, someone got out of the vehicle that had collided with him and slowly approached him.
The man looked down at Taejun, who was struggling to regain his composure, and greeted him.
“Long time no see, Kang Taejun.”
Even amidst the roaring cheers of the crowd, his voice was clear.
As his blurry vision cleared, the image of the man looking down at him became vividly imprinted in his eyes.
Damn, too confused. Things seem absurd.
“I know everything. You killed our father, didn’t you?”
Damn! It wasn’t an absurdity.
Only now did Taejun realize that this was not a dream but reality, feeling the heavy weight of Minhyung lying down on his abdomen.
Now he understood how this situation had unfolded.
Jo Minhyung.
Truly insane.
Minhyung mounted Taejun, who was lying helplessly, and grabbed him by the collar. From his handsome forehead, blood flowed, and Minhyung smiled cruelly, as if enjoying the gruesome sight.
“After killing our father like that, did you think you’d get away unharmed? I may fool the police, but I can’t fool myself. You sent him, that Spider-Man.”
Minhyung said clearly and brought his face close to Taejun’s ear, whispering.
“I knew you wouldn’t be clueless, right? Sorry, but I’m not that stupid.”
Minhyung proudly declared, as if seeking recognition for what he had done from Taejun.
However, even in the midst of it all, Taejun scoffed at his words.
“You, stupid? As far as I know… You’re the most pathetic person in the world.”
Despite Taejun’s mocking words, Minhyung’s face, which was once self-assured, instantly hardened. The lips that had lost their smile showed subtle twitching.
“What… What did you say, you bastard?”
Enraged, Minhyung tightened his grip on Taejun’s collar.
Nevertheless, Taejun, without stopping his mocking smile, whispered.
“You, got caught red-handed. This bastard. You can’t escape now.”
“!”
“You… You’re a crime scene suspect.”
Even in the midst of this, as Taejun continued to mock Minhyung, who was caught perfectly as a crime scene suspect, Minhyung’s brain circuits for all possible reactions to the accident were shut down.
It felt like his entire body was paralyzed with rage.
Even in this moment, when he was covered in blood, Taejun’s confident and unyielding appearance made Minhyung despise him so much it drove him mad.
In the end, that hatred consumed everything within Minhyung.
“Crazy bastard! I’m going to kill you today, even if I die! Why! Can’t I do it? Damn it! If I do it, I’m the one doing it! You bastard!”
Raving like a madman, Minhyung, with his face twisted into a sickly color, pulled out a small knife from the jacket pocket.
Then, holding it high, he shouted.
“Die! Die, you bastard! Die[Dash]god damn it!”
Behind Minhyung’s crazed face, the unusually blue sky dazzled Taejun’s vision, which was blurred.
Indeed, today was a perfect day for a proposal.
