Having left a message for Jaeha that something urgent had come up, I left the hospital. While heading outside the hospital, during a call with the detective, the assigned detective agreed with my opinion that the incident might not be an accident.
[DASH] I share the same opinion. It seems dubious to attribute this solely to a mechanical flaw in the car. We’ll inform you once we have the inspection results.Even though it had been a while since the call with the assigned detective ended, my hands were still shaking. Until yesterday, the brakes were perfectly fine when I was driving.
‘But suddenly malfunctioning like this doesn’t make sense.’
Despite not having driven many times, there hadn’t been any issues.
Moreover, Mr. Hyunik regularly conducted vehicle inspections on my car.
There’s no way they wouldn’t have noticed a mechanical flaw during the routine inspection.
So, there’s only one possibility remaining.
‘Manipulation.’
The man I glimpsed in the hospital a while ago flashed through my mind.
He occasionally frequented Ji Han’s study.
I didn’t know his name, but having encountered him several times during my five years of marriage, his face remained in my memory.
“Who is that person? Is he someone from the company?”
“Ah, are you talking about Mr. Jung? A errand runner. Employed privately.”
Ji Han referred to him as an errand runner.
At first, I thought he was just someone doing odd jobs. Only later did I find out what tasks he was entrusted with.
‘Necessary for corporate operations, handling undisclosed tasks. Covertly dealing with illegal matters.’
Only a handful of people knew of Mr. Jung’s existence.
Ji Han’s right-hand man, Director Kim, the family elders, and perhaps Jaeha with his exceptional information network.
But encountering him in the hospital, was it a coincidence?
Moreover, it happened today, in the VIP ward where Jaeha was hospitalized.
It couldn’t be a coincidence. It seemed too perfectly timed.
Moreover, Mr. Jung was the mastermind who almost killed me in my past life.
‘Then if he appeared, it means…’
This brake malfunction incident was also Ji Han’s doing.
It was an act aimed at my life, but unfortunately, Jaeha got caught up in the accident.
If Mr. Jung, who came to check whether the incident was handled properly, confirmed that Jaeha, not me, was the one involved in the accident, he must have been watching us to understand the truth behind the incident.
“Ha…”
As my thoughts reached that point, my hands trembled with boiling anger.
Ji Han had tried to take my life in my past life and was still trying to kill me in this life.
Moreover, the incident he orchestrated put Jaeha in danger. I wished I had been the one injured.
When I realized that Jaeha almost lost his life because of Ji Han’s plot, I couldn’t bear it.
‘You aimed for me, Ji Seojihan.’
Certainly, he had been courteous to me when we met in front of Chairman Seo’s office not long ago.
The thought that things don’t match for a moment, I hesitated for no more than a moment and dialed the phone.
“Where are you, sir?”
It’s better to ask the master directly if you’re curious.
I entered the outdoor clay shooting range in the suburbs.
The sporadic and loud sound of gunfire made my face involuntarily frown.
‘Was he busy driving people away and enjoying shooting?’
Suddenly, the image of Jaeha lying in the hospital bed came to mind, and a surge of anger filled me.
Whenever Ji Han had something on his mind, he used to visit the shooting range.
Following the guide, I walked towards the VIP-exclusive area.
Except for the occasional gunshot sounds, the shooting range seemed excessively deserted, considering it should be bustling with people.
“Why is it so quiet today?”
“Oh, today, only Chairman Seo is here. He rented the entire place for the day.”
As expected…
I surveyed the deserted shooting range, wondering if even an ant could be found.
“He’s here.”
At the place where the guide stopped, Ji Han was aiming the gun at the target.
[DASH] Bang!After hitting the bullseye, he pulled the trigger, and the loud gunshot echoed.
Seeing several messy glasses on the table, it seemed like there were several people here.
“Have you arrived?”
Having finished shooting, Ji Han belatedly approached me as if he felt my presence.
Then he sat at an empty table and continued talking to me.
“…Quiet here. I got a call from you just as I was finishing up.”
“…”
“He said he wanted to meet in a quiet place. It may not be quiet here, but it’s the most private.”
As he said, there were only the two of us at the shooting range.
When Ji Han signaled the guide to move away, he immediately asked me.
“What’s going on? I didn’t expect you to come all the way here.”
Ji Han looked at me with a gaze as if he didn’t know I would come here. It seemed he was very curious about my purpose.
You probably know why I came and with what intention. Suppressing my emotions, I felt a lump in my throat at Ji Han’s pretending not to know.
‘Ha.’
