“Do you not remember, sir?”
Younggap turned his head to remember the man’s face.
They were the ones who kidnapped him, disguising themselves as taxi drivers, expecting him to escape. As if they had been waiting.
“You really don’t remember. You killed our mother, sir.”
He remembered. It was the son of Park Jibsa, whom he had killed to destroy evidence. What was his name?
Anyway, it was clear that they had systematically kidnapped him.
“There seems to be a misunderstanding. It wasn’t me who killed Park Jibsa; it was Seo Honggyu. Why would I do such a thing?”
“Oh, really? I heard you’re not Taeein’s older sister.”
Darn it. Did Seo Taeein already know? He must have found out from Woo Jeha, who had just visited.
“You’re framing me! Because you wish I were gone!”
Desperately, Younggap shouted.
“Oh, is that so?”
However, the response that came back was disrespectful.
“Where are you taking me?”
“We’re considering. Whether to take you back to prison or just kill you here.”
“…”
“One thing is for sure; you’re done.”
Younggap became uneasy at the man’s laughter.
Until a moment ago, there seemed to be nothing he couldn’t overcome with evil support, but now he felt fearful again. Afraid that he might not be able to kill Seo Taeein and his family and would be taken back. Or afraid of dying.
“Do you think killing me is revenge? Will that bring back the dead parents? Even if I die now, it won’t change anything. I have 3 billion won. I’ll give you half of it, so please let me go, please?”
Younggap pleaded desperately, clasping his hands.
“That’s an interesting offer. Where is that money?”
He took the bait!
When the man looked at him with interest, Younggap opened his mouth again.
“It’s in Pyeongchang-dong, so we have to go to Pyeongchang-dong now.”
“Pyeongchang-dong? Where in Pyeongchang-dong?”
The man asked, pushing the knife. When the pale Younggap couldn’t answer right away, the man asked again.
“Where in Pyeongchang-dong?”
“…That.”
“Anyway, there are people in your room in Pyeongchang-dong, so you can’t even get in. I’ll take it out for you, so just tell me where it is.”
Younggap turned his head. This might be a trap. He didn’t know if their purpose was to take away his money.
No, he had already fallen into the trap.
Younggap, who had wisely navigated through numerous crises, couldn’t die by such people. At least, he didn’t want to die here. He couldn’t get inside Pyeongchang-dong anyway. Since he wasn’t there, he couldn’t open the safe.
In response to Younggap’s words, the man smiled.
“Heard it, Taeein Nuna?”
The man had earphones on.
Darn it, he was talking to Seo Taeein! They never intended to release me in the first place!
Realizing it belatedly, Younggap gritted his teeth and forcefully struck his backrest with his back. Still, he couldn’t contain his anger and let out a scream.
After receiving Jeha’s call, Taeein contacted Hoyoung, Park Jibsa’s son. Through this, she could find out the location of the money Younggap had hidden.
No need to unlock any codes. Since Hoyoung forcefully broke open the safe with his strength.
“What are you going to do with this money?”
Without hesitation, Taeein opened her mouth in response to Jangri’s question.
“I’m going to donate it.”
Finally, it was over. Younggap’s crimes weren’t fully exposed yet, and he still had to face additional trials, but he no longer had to live in fear, nor did he have to waste his life in hatred.
Relieved, Taeein sat down on the floor.
They had set up security inside and outside the house just in case Younggap, who had escaped, might intrude. Jangri lifted Taeein and sat her on the sofa.
“Since there’s no schedule today, let’s leave early.”
“But it’s still far from leaving for work.”
“Even so, if Director Min and Jeongdon watch over you continuously, I won’t be able to relax either.”
Seeing Jangri still wearing a worried expression, Taeein got up, saying she was fine.
“Still…”
“There will be guests soon, and we’re ordering dinner, so don’t worry and leave early. I told Director Min as well.”
Taeein patted Jangri’s shoulder.
Jangri bowed and left, and Taeein also went to the annex. She planned to demolish the uncomfortable annex where Younggap had lived and turn it into a library. She would set up a large desk and a separate play area for the children of the employees.
Although there were rest facilities for employees, there was no space for children to play, especially in the cold winter like these days.
Taeein went home to prepare for the guests.
The guest, Hyeseong, arrived precisely on time.
With her red hair tied high and a large muffler wrapped around her, Hyeseong looked around the house before placing a paper bag on the table.
“Nice place, Seo Taeein.”
It was a casual observation.
“You moved to Hannam-dong too. Aren’t you going to have a housewarming?”
“What’s the housewarming for? But anyway, you’ve overcome a big mountain.”
Hyeseong casually mentioned the fact she had learned from the news. Seo Taeein’s life had indeed been full of ups and downs.
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.”
