Even if they racked their brains together, it was a problem that wouldn’t be solved.
Arriving at the office and attempting to focus on work, Dohjun couldn’t concentrate at all.
The pile of documents to review increased, but he couldn’t handle a single one, letting out a deep sigh.
After hearing the report that Taeyeon had shed tears, his heart became even more disturbed.
“If you were determined to leave, you should have been doing well.”
If it was so difficult, shouldn’t she have stayed by his side?
When he attempted to concentrate again.
Secretary Choi knocked on the door and revealed her slightly flustered face.
“Boss, I found her.”
“Really?”
“Yes, fortunately, when I conveyed our story, she agreed to meet.”
Dohjun’s eyes burned with more intensity than ever before.
“Let’s head to where she is right away.”
Secretary Choi entered the address of a farm located in Gyeonggi Province into the navigation system and started the car.
Throughout the journey, Dohjun remained unusually silent, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.
Recently, through Detective Park, who has connections with KK Group, he had reviewed Jintae Pyeong’s accident records, which added to the confusion.
On that day, what could have happened?
Many employees who were at Jintae Pyeong’s house all left work early, and shortly afterward, a fire broke out late in the evening, leading to the tragic death of Jintae Pyeong and his wife, unable to escape in time.
A missing link somewhere.
Dohjun was convinced that the man he was about to meet was the one who could connect the dots.
Eventually, Dohjun arrived at his destination.
Approaching the vinyl house, Dohjun signaled his presence, and an elderly man appeared from inside.
“Are you Director Cha Dohjun?”
“Yes, I’m Cha Dohjun, the director of KK Foods.”
Dohjun extended his business card, formally introducing himself, and the man invited him into the humble vinyl house.
“Would you like some tea?”
“No, thank you.”
Seated on an uncomfortable makeshift chair, Dohjun waited for the man to start speaking.
“Will my testimony really be helpful?”
“I am confident that it will.”
Observing the determined Dohjun, the man began to speak.
“As you know, I was a secretary when I worked as the finance department head at Jinvong Phil Cha Shin Yu.”
In a calm voice, the man continued his story.
“At that time, Jinvong Phil secretly created slush funds, and I helped him in some parts of the process.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, at that moment, Jintae Pyeong found out about the fact.”
The story the man conveyed was information that couldn’t be found anywhere else. It was a precious tale unknown to anyone outside at that time.
“So, Jintae Pyeong intended to dismiss Jinvong Phil the next day at the executive meeting…”
Seeing that Dohjun remained silent for a moment, it was evident that something significant had happened.
Dohjun cautiously asked, “By any chance, was there an incident involving Jintae Pyeong that day?”
“That’s right. A big fire broke out at his house, and he fell asleep and couldn’t escape,” the man said.
Dohjun tried to accept the situation as rationally as possible.
“If you have any other information, could you tell me everything now?”
Despite Dohjun’s efforts to take this situation objectively, the man hesitated for a very long time.
“I plan to return to Seoul and request a reinvestigation into this case.”
The man responded strongly to Dohjun’s words.
“To do that, we need important information about an undisclosed insider from that time that the police overlooked.”
Dohjun sent a subtle glance to the man.
If by any chance you possess that key, would you not hand it over to me?
After contemplating for a long time, the man finally spoke.
“I apologize for saying this in such a situation.”
“Feel free to speak.”
“By any chance, if I provide this information, what can you offer in return?”
Dohjun was actually grateful that the other party initiated such a conversation.
“If you desire material compensation, that will be arranged, and beyond that, KK Group will do its best within the scope of support it can offer. I promise.”
The man struggled to speak.
“In truth, our mother is quite ill and is undergoing medical treatment.”
“I see.”
“Helping with the slush funds, believing that Jinvong Phil would take care of my share, I reluctantly jumped into this despite the risks.”
Jinvong Phil did not keep that promise. After taking the position of Cha Shin Yoo, the president of Chasin Uyup, he threatened to turn all the blame for those deeds onto the man.
So, reluctantly, he reached an agreement to retire from the company.
Dohjun took a deep breath upon hearing this story.
Indeed, people’s habits don’t change.
It seemed that using and discarding others when needed was just the same then as it is now.
“You must have gone through a lot.”
“Yes. So, shamelessly, I am trying to make a deal by passing on the information I know.”
Dohjun asserted that he could provide support regardless of the amount requested.
Because he was confident that the information the man would provide was more valuable than just money.
“Jinvong Phil asked me to regularly get prescription sleeping pills for him.”
“Is the composition of that…?”
When Dohjun mentioned it, the man raised his eyes, questioning how he could know.
Detective Park mentioned that on the day Jintae Pyeong fell asleep and couldn’t wake up, he took sleeping pills.
And the composition was similar to what the man had been regularly prescribed at the hospital.
“Did you give those sleeping pills to Jinvong Phil?”
“Yes. He said he couldn’t sleep well and thought there might be constraints if he got the prescription himself when he became the next president of Chasin Uyup.”
Dohjun lightly chuckled.
It was admiration for the meticulousness of not directly prescribing it himself to avoid suspicion of an investigation.
“And also… I hesitated a lot before talking about this.”
Finally, the words the man uttered were truly shocking.
