Na Song-rim continued to request a meeting with Song Kang. Song Kang was aware of this news but remained hesitant.
There was a reason he decided to meet. He wanted to propose admitting all charges and confessing; in return, they would secure his place if the truth were revealed now.
It was Song Kang’s earnest wish that the truth be revealed, even if it meant doing so through such means.
Upon seeing Song Kang at the visitation, Na Song-rim greeted him with a warm welcome.
“Hyung! Why did you come now? Do you know how long I’ve been waiting?”
That ‘hyung’ sound made Song Kang feel a tingling sensation in his peripheral nerves.
Between the two, sitting across from each other at a shabby desk, the emotional temperature was high. Song Kang looked at Na Song-rim’s hands resting on the desk.
To think that the brother-in-law of Taesung’s heir would not be able to leave without handcuffs… A sigh involuntarily escaped.
“Hyung, you might be very angry right now, but you know. We are unavoidable brothers.”
Such emotional words did not help Na Song-rim at all. They were nothing but words that Song Kang disliked hearing.
“If you confess everything as it is, I’ll try to do whatever it takes to get a reduced sentence.”
Song Kang spoke heavily.
“What? You want me to confess?”
Once again, Song Kang nodded heavily.
“I can’t do that. Why? If I confess and go in, what about Mom and Song-woon? They’ll end up in jail just because I’ll be eaten up alone?”
Na Song-rim’s harsh words, which made the listener involuntarily frown, had no helpful effect. They were all words that Song Kang did not want to hear.
“I heard it from the director, but they say there’s nothing good for you if you persist. Instead of receiving heavier punishment for an unjust crime, cooperate sincerely with the investigation.”
“Ah! I can’t do that! Did I wait for you just to hear such nonsense?”
Na Song-rim couldn’t conceal her fiery temperament and revealed her true colors. However, Song Kang was not shaken by such things.
“Hyung, please help me just once. Huh? Since you have a lot of money, you can do something about it.”
Not a single word made sense within Song Kang’s common sense. Na Song-rim kept uttering absurdities for a while.
At that moment, a prison guard knocked on the door and entered.
“The lead prosecutor is here. The visitation should end here.”
At the words ‘lead prosecutor,’ Na Song-rim straightened her entire body.
“Ah! Why does that girl keep bothering people so relentlessly? Does she intend to annoy me to death! Can’t she see that we’re in the middle of an important conversation? Tell her to come back later!”
Na Song-rim’s rough words made Song Kang stare at her with a stern expression. Although Na Song-rim did not make any more noise, she exhaled a breath full of resentment, biting down on her molars.
“Yes, I’ll be going now. Our conversation has come to an end.”
Song Kang stood up from his seat.
“Hyung! It’s not over for me!”
Na Song-rim stood up following Song Kang. Song Kang turned away coldly. Where he turned, Line was standing. Although Song Kang intended to leave only the two of them, his steps did not falter.
Line could tell from his expression what he was thinking, and Song Kang was the same. There was a moment of silence in the visitation room.
Behind Song Kang, Na Song-rim glared at Line as if she could kill him.
“I will carry out official duties.”
Her words summarized the entire situation.
Song Kang also pondered complicated thoughts. Rather than trusting the pitiful Na Song-rim, he believed in the handcuffs on that guy’s wrist and the security here.
Song Kang took difficult steps. Line also walked away, and as their shoulders were about to align, their palms brushed against each other. Suppressing the urge to firmly grasp her hand, Song Kang walked forward.
“I’ll kill you!”
It was the moment Song Kang was about to leave the room. Along with the sound of Na Song-rim’s cursing, a dull thud was heard.
Although Line’s scream was not heard afterward, it was a sound sufficient to make anyone look in that direction in surprise.
Without time to make any judgment, Song Kang turned back. Without organizing the situation, he embraced Line and shielded her.
A solid impact hit Song Kang’s body, and his crouching was transmitted to Line as well. Line, holding her breath, lifted her head.
It was Na Song-rim who had struck Line down with a chair. And just as she was about to swing the chair again at the fallen Line, Song Kang blocked her with his body.
Not far away, a prison guard who had been nearby hurriedly ran over and grabbed Na Song-rim, causing the chair she held to fall to the ground.
Line, although surprised, remained silent, not making any sound.
Song Kang, losing his composure, stood up and picked up the fallen chair from the floor. When he raised the chair high to swing it at Na Song-rim, Line quickly pulled his waist.
“The law will judge.”
Her voice contained a clear message and was trembling slightly. Song Kang could no longer exert any strength.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
