“Yes, I thought you would react this way. I feel the same. It’s not much different from what we know. I’m sorry to say this, but according to this file, your mother committed suicide. And yet, they kept this file so hidden. Our expert took a significant amount of time to obtain this unremarkable file.”
At So Dam’s words, Tae Joon’s mind raced.
The fact that they had kept such an unremarkable report hidden meant they were not hiding the content.
“Huh, seems like Heo Kyung Joon is more impressive than I thought?”
“You knew……?”
As the name of the person who created this report flowed so easily from his mouth, So Dam’s eyes widened in surprise.
However, Tae Joon nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders.
“What’s so secretive about it?”
“By any chance, have you met him?”
“It’s a stretch to say we met. We brushed past each other when we were young. I don’t remember him, so he probably doesn’t remember me either. But finding out the name of the investigating officer isn’t difficult.”
“Then you must also know this. That Heo Kyung Joon is the current Commissioner of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency. That’s why it was difficult to extract this information. If it became known that a current Commissioner leaked a past case he was in charge of, he would immediately lose his head. Everyone is covering their own backs.”
Tae Joon wasn’t particularly surprised as he had already anticipated this. However, what he had hoped for in this file was something else that he didn’t know. There had to be more than the facts he was keenly aware of.
“Ha… what do we do now? The police records we had hoped for are so insignificant.”
So Dam sighed lightly. She was secretly disappointed as she had hoped there would be something in this police file.
However, Tae Joon nonchalantly opened his mouth as he stood up from his seat.
“What to do? We should meet.”
At his words, So Dam reacted sharply.
“Me… meet? Who?”
Surely, it couldn’t be.
“Police Commissioner Heo Kyung Joon.”
However, the unthinkable happened.
“Are you serious? Will he meet you?”
“He won’t.”
“Of course! You know what it means to the police to revisit a closed case from the past! Especially to someone who wields such power!”
So Dam retorted in astonishment, but Tae Joon’s expression remained determined without any hint of hesitation.
“If he won’t meet us directly, we must find a way to meet him indirectly. Start looking into the people around Heo Kyung Joon. Especially his family relations, or people who have influence over him. If they are influential business figures, even better.”
At his words, only then did she show an expression of realization.
As expected, Kang Tae Joon!
He wasn’t trying to approach Commissioner Heo Kyung Joon directly. He was trying to induce a business meeting using the people around him.
As far as So Dam knew, Tae Joon was a man who had never knelt before anyone.
The wealth and power he possessed always gave him an overwhelming sense of superiority in his relationships with others.
Therefore, in a meeting as a victim’s family and the investigating detective, Tae Joon could never be the weaker party, but in a business meeting, no one could be superior to him.
Tae Joon intended to use this again.
An absolute strategy to grab the leash of Police Commissioner Heo Kyung Joon, not from the position of a dragged weaker party, but from the leading stronger party.
Of course, it would require a considerable unnecessary cost, but for Tae Joon, it would merely be a trifle.
He wasn’t the type to blink an eye at pouring astronomical sums of money into something, as long as he could solve the mystery of his mother’s case, regardless of the outcome.
“So Dam, let’s… let’s have a go at splurging.”
He wickedly raised the corner of his mouth.
There was nothing in the world he couldn’t do.
After all, it had become a world where nothing could not be done with money.
Thanks to that, Tae Joon was living a bit more comfortably than others in this world.
Of course, except for one divine puzzle bestowed by heaven, Baek Seo Rin.
Having left work early, Seo Rin hurriedly headed to the hotel where the club meeting was being held. But on her way to the hotel, she couldn’t stop thinking about Tae Joon, whom she hadn’t even seen in the morning, and sent him a text message.
I’m on my way to the meeting. What about you, Tae Joon?
I’m at home. Want me to pick you up when you’re done?
No, don’t worry. I’ll manage. I don’t know when it will end.
Okay. But still, contact me when you’re done.
Fortunately, he seemed to be not greatly perturbed. However, Seo Rin was very bothered by his behavior of leaving just one message in the morning and going for a workout.
Tae Joon loved exercising so normally this would have been an easy thing to overlook, but she was worried if his feelings had been hurt by her tactless comment yesterday.
“We’ve arrived, Director. I’ll wait here.”
The voice of Manager Park lifted Seo Rin’s gaze from her phone.

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…
