On his way back from the trial, Juhyeok checked the call from Line. He hesitated for a while after seeing the missed call.
Juhyeok also knew that Line would be reinstated and return through the internal meeting notice. Although he played a significant role in resolving the situation, he wondered if it was really a cause for celebration that she was coming back to the prosecution.
Still, she had desperately wanted to put on the prosecutor’s robe again…
Pretending to be unable to win, he called Line.
“Jin Line, it would be a big problem if you answered the phone at once.”
Just as he was about to hang up, the call was answered.
Hello? Is this the owner of the cellphone by any chance?
It wasn’t Line’s voice. Faced with an unfamiliar voice, Juhyeok hesitated.
Could it be that she changed her number again during this time? Seeing that the person asked if he was the owner of the cellphone, it didn’t seem like such a situation.
Hello.
“Ah… who is this? Isn’t this Prosecutor Jin Line’s cellphone?”
Oh! It’s really Prosecutor Choi Juhyeok. How are you? It seems the cellphone that a resident picked up around here belonged to Prosecutor Jin. What a coincidence! But why… Prosecutor Jin Line’s cellphone is on the street…
Upon hearing that the cellphone was being kept at the police station near Line’s house, Juhyeok walked with somewhat uneasy steps.
The police station was spending the busy night hours inside, as usual, dealing with incidents.
Juhyeok almost ran into the police station.
“Prosecutor Choi, nice to meet you.”
The familiar police officers greeted Juhyeok.
“Why is Jin’s cellphone here?”
Juhyeok directly contacted the resident who claimed to have found the cellphone. He found out where the phone had fallen by contacting the resident. He, along with the police officers, headed there.
A Hawaii beer can rolling on the ground caught Juhyeok’s eye. He lowered his posture, sat down, and picked up the beer can. Juhyeok’s pupils shook with anxious certainty.
“We might need to check the CCTV around here.”
At Juhyeok’s words, the police officers moved quickly and decisively.
“Prosecutor Choi! This area is a blind spot.”
A despairing story struck Juhyeok like a heavy blow to the back of his head.
“Then we need to search all the CCTV in this area! It’s a kidnapping case!”
Juhyeok meticulously examined the CCTV around that area. Although Line’s appearance was not precisely captured, he noticed a suspicious group carrying a large barrel to a car.
“Trace the license plate, find out where it’s heading.”
Juhyeok checked when Line’s last phone call had come. His heart couldn’t help but be restless for the time that had passed.
“We found it! The vehicle is still on the move!”
“Let’s go too.”
Juhyeok got into a police car, and they began a high-speed pursuit along the path taken by the car carrying Line.
A police car entered a suspicious warehouse in a secluded area, and Juhyeok noticed one car coming out of that place.
It might have been a conspicuous luxury foreign car, but Juhyeok’s gaze turned in that direction at the thought that it might be Director Na Songgang’s car.
“Inspector! It seems to be over there!”
The police officer pointed to a suspicious warehouse in the middle of the mountain.
“Please speed up a little more.”
When Juhyeok and the police arrived at the warehouse, the situation had somewhat subsided. Juhyeok ran in to check if Line was there, but there was no trace of her.
“Arrest everyone without missing a single person.”
During the process of verifying the identities of those arrested, it was revealed that the head of security was one of Na Songgang’s people.
And not long after, a lawyer from Taesung Law Firm arrived, and it was the lawyer for the suspect.
“Senior, hello. You’ve been through a lot at this late hour.”
Though Haein lacked composure when facing Juhyeok, he politely greeted him. Juhyeok called Haein aside.
“Tell me what happened.”
Juhyeok spoke with a trembling voice, as if his patience had reached its limit.
“Hoodlums tried to threaten Director Na Songgang, and the security personnel did their duty.”
“Hoodlum!”
Juhyeok shouted at Haein. Haein stopped his formal tone and lowered his gaze.
“Where is Line? I’m asking if Line is okay! Right now!”
Despite Juhyeok’s urging, Haein could only keep his mouth shut.
“This is how it comes out? Even if I forgive everything else, you still don’t understand that I can’t stand anything happening to Line. Don’t say anything. I’ll find out. Emergency arrest of Na Songgang.”
“Senior, wait a moment!”
Surprised, Haein turned around and stopped Juhyeok’s steps.
In the car heading to the hospital, Songgang did not let go of her hand for even a moment.
‘Please…’ He had never earnestly wished for something like this before. The dropping body temperature made his heart extremely uneasy.
The more so, the more strength was added to his thighs, and he reached the hospital on the long journey.
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
