Now, Nok Hyun was getting used to Tae In, whose ears turned red, unable to hide her feelings.

Nok Hyun too, didn’t tease any further, but watched Tae In eat.

The way she ate eagerly with her small mouth was a nice sight.

“Can I ask you a favor?”
“As long as it’s not about wearing a sun cap, anything.”
Tae In, who didn’t immediately bring up the topic and just licked her lips, finally started speaking slowly.

“I want to see my younger sibling.”
“…Younger sibling?”
Nok Hyun recalled Ah Rin, who was sobbing at Tae In’s funeral.

“I think my sibling is in danger.”

Yu Ran entered a traditional Korean house in Pyeongchangdong.

Inside the high walls, surrounded by tall trees, the traditional house gave a feeling as if she had entered a different world.

It was grand and beautiful, too valuable to be used for mere pleasure or enjoyment.

A wellmaintained pond without a hint of algae and a large pavilion came into view on the left.

Upon seeing Director Yoon sprawled out in the pavilion, Yuran clicked her tongue in disapproval.

His attitude was fitting for Director Yoon, who led a life of leisure. He would probably insist that he was living like a hermit.

At Yuran’s arrival, Director Yoon, who had been lounging behind the dimly lit railing, slowly lifted his body.

“You’ve arrived an hour early?”
Director Yoon was still in his nightgown. It was distasteful, but Yuran chose not to point it out.

He would undoubtedly remain disheveled even if the President were to visit. The only person he had ever feared was his grandfather, and now that his grandfather had passed away, there was nothing to restrain Director Yoon.

“I arrived at the correct time.”
Yuran frowned and approached the pavilion.

Yuran’s secretary took out a handkerchief and spread it on the spot where Yuran would sit, and then took out a bug detector.

“That’s enough.”
Yuran stopped the secretary with a smile. It wasn’t a friendly gesture.

She had judged that a person who didn’t even know the time of their appointment would not have prepared a bug in advance.

An employee quickly brought out snacks and tea.

“Director Hwang seems to have done something rather foolish.”
Yuran didn’t answer, just sipped her tea, which was at a perfect temperature.

“That kind of threat won’t work on Executive Director Kang, you should definitely send him a clear message.”
Yuran slowly put down her teacup and stared at Director Yoon.

“It sounds like if you were Director Yoon, you would have used a different method.”
“I have a cat.”
Yuran raised her eyebrows, wondering what this irrelevant comment was about. Unfazed, Director Yoon continued his story.

“So, I installed a home cam. Would you like to see it?”
Yuran openly clicked her tongue, irritated by the intrusion into her busy and expensive time.

“If you called me to chat, let’s wrap it up.”
“Just watch, it’s about the KoreaJapan match.”
Yuran, who was about to get up, reluctantly looked at the screen.

Her expression subtly changed as she watched a video of Director Yoon yelling while watching soccer with two friends.

Director Yoon chuckled, saying he knew she would react.

“That was the day Seo Tae In died, July 7th. Remember the alibi of Executive Director Kang?”
Nok Hyun had testified that he had dinner with Director Yoon that day.

However, in the video that Director Yoon just showed, Director Yoon was watching soccer with his friends.

“So, Executive Director Kang lied. Why on earth would he lie?”
Director Yoon turned off the video and played an audio file.

I was with Director Yoon that day. If you don’t ask why, I will reward you handsomely.

Yuran narrowed her brows. It was indeed Kang Nok Hyun’s voice.

“So, did you get the reward?”
Director Yoon stretched out his arms, pointing all around, and then clenched his fist. His face was full of exhilaration.

“It seems like a big reward for participating in manipulating an alibi.”
Yuran eyed Director Yoon as if expecting a specific answer.

“It could be small.”
“….”

“If it was Vice President Kang who killed Seo Tae In.”
Yu Ran was thinking quickly.

Director Yoon’s card was certain.

However, something was fishy.

“Wouldn’t it be beneficial to stand by Vice President Kang at this point?”
“Well, even the fish in this pond know that man is cunning, but there isn’t much to gain from his temporary weakness, and if not careful, I could be treated like Seo Tae In.”
Director Yoon shivered as if the thought was terrifying.

Yu Ran was still suspicious.

“Director Yoon, it seems you know less about Vice President Kang than the fish in the pond. Kang Nok Hyun doesn’t act emotionally. He’s the careful type who contemplates thousands of times whether something will be beneficial or harmful. So why would he commit murder?”
Yu Ran smirked, causing Director Yoon to chuckle in response.

“I know Vice President Kang is not emotional. Isn’t the story about Vice President Kang being a sociopath from your home?”
Yu Ran’s mouth muscles twitched.

“Well, that’s the first time I’m hearing that.”
“Anyway, I have a separate reason to suspect Vice President Kang. You haven’t heard yet.”
Director Yoon exhaled a long breath and paused.

“A new will of Seo Tae In has been discovered. It stated that all the assets and Taegang shares under Seo Tae In’s name were to be inherited by Vice President Kang. The household must be in a turmoil by now, probably wishing to find even a body.”
Director Yoon laughed heartily as if the most fun thing in the world was someone else’s family feud.

Yu Ran was thinking fast.

Tae In’s will was already there.

The will stating that Tae In’s real estate and Taegang’s shares were to be divided among her maternal family. It was perfect with the handwritten letter, recording, and notarized document.

Tae In didn’t inherit much from her grandparents, and her assets were meager compared to what Nok Hyun had, so Nok Hyun had gone along without saying much. It was hard to believe Tae In was killed over that.

‘Ah, there was that.’
The founder of HK and Nok Hyun’s grandfather, Kang Hwang Guk, had given company shares as a wedding gift to his daughterinlaw.

With her father now fallen, the HK shares that were Tae In’s might have been a pity to Nok Hyun.

Whether Nok Hyun had killed Tae In or not, whether he had manipulated the will or not, the truth was not that important.

While Nok Hyun was under investigation by the prosecution, all that mattered was to dismiss him and put Ji Woon in the position of Vice President.

Once Nok Hyun was gone, getting rid of Choi Mo wasn’t a big deal.

Kang Chul Han could be killed at any time, and the will was perfect.

Yu Ran had been dreaming of owning HK, to which she had dedicated her youth.

And that dream was within her reach.
