Inho’s cold gaze focused on Donghun.
“I hope Mr. Nam Donghun doesn’t pay much attention to Su Yeon anymore. Su Yeon is my wife.”
“…….”
“Even if that’s unlikely, if something happens to Su Yeon, I’ll handle it before it becomes a situation for Mr. Nam Donghun to worry about.”
“…….”
“So, Mr. Nam Donghun, as the older brother Su Yeon has been close to, as you have been until now, I hope you will remain in Su Yeon’s past from now on.”
With that statement, Inho turned and walked away.
Facing Donghun any longer might have caused even the poker face he managed to maintain to crumble.
“The rapid growth of Taesin due to Chairman Choi’s aggressive management style was something I knew, but it seems the mid-level executives are far more dissatisfied than I thought.”
In the car heading to Seoul, Yeongseon calmly began explaining the recent events.
“It seems like Chairman Choi has a reliable investor behind him, but the executives are uneasy because he hasn’t revealed who that person is. They can’t be sure if it’s a trustworthy source of funds.”
“Do you still not know who that investor is, Mother?”
“From what I found out, a person named Park Chunho. Seems to be an angel investor, starting investments in Taesin during the conglomerate business and continuing until now.”
“An angel investor invested in Taesin Conglomerate?”
Inho narrowed his eyes. While it wasn’t necessary to comment on others’ asset management, it was strange for an angel investor to invest in Taesin Conglomerate.
“He holds about 10 percent under the name Park Chunho. However, judging by the reactions of some of Chairman Choi’s close associates, he may have additional shares held in a nominee account. We can’t know how much that might be.”
Inho’s pupils fluctuated visibly without a calm expression.
Owning 10 percent of a large corporation’s shares was significant. But having additional shares in a nominee account was beyond surprising—it left him dumbfounded.
“Just how wealthy is this person…”
Inho muttered absentmindedly.
Yeongseon let out a deep sigh.
“That’s what I thought too. I was shocked when I heard about it. I know some people who are familiar with the name Park Chunho, but it seems no one has any other information about him. No one has met him either.”
Inho seriously narrowed his eyes.
If a person with that much wealth really existed, people in this industry, known for sniffing out money, would have flocked to him.
However, even Director Kim couldn’t find him, and Yeongseon, who was renowned for her social connections, didn’t know him.
‘What kind of person is he…’
If someone concealed their identity to this extent, even if he looked into it further, finding the person wouldn’t be easy.
The problem was that this person ultimately held the decisive key to all the processes for Su Yeon’s departure.
“I’ll do what I can for now… You’ve probably noticed by now, but in the end, we’ll have to find that person.”
“…….”
“I plan to focus on finding that person right away. If the person who helped in various ways to make Taesin what it is now has a close relationship with Chairman Choi, there is a high possibility. Still, I should try to turn his heart, even if it’s just an attempt.”
As she spoke, there was no trace of confidence on Yeongseon’s face.
Inho understood Yeongseon’s feelings.
She was right.
Although it couldn’t be concluded definitively, if someone owned more than 10 percent of Taesin shares, it was likely that the relationship with Chairman Choi went beyond expectations.
It felt like encountering an unexpected complication.
“Sigh…”
Najik let out a sigh.
Even in the meantime, the car was rapidly moving.
It was just as they entered Seoul.
In front of his eyes, Su Yeon’s sleeping face appeared.
He missed her so much.
When Inho arrived home, he headed straight to the bedroom.
Without changing his clothes, he sat beside the sleeping Su Yeon on the bed.
Her long eyelashes were peacefully resting.
Fortunately, her sleeping face looked calm, as if she wasn’t going through anything distressing even in her dreams.
“……Su Yeon.”
Inho softly called Su Yeon.
Even though he knew he shouldn’t disturb her sleep, he couldn’t help it.
He wanted to be entangled with her gaze.
He wanted to stroke her cheek, pull her shoulders tightly, and passionately kiss her.
‘I’ll call you just three times. If you don’t wake up, I’ll endure it then. Promise.’
The promise was fulfilled without Su Yeon’s consent.
Inho moved his lips once again.
“Su Yeon.”
Still, there was no sign of movement.
It was such a small voice that it was too weak to wake her.
He couldn’t even tell if she wanted to wake up or not.
Inho took a long breath. Then he smiled faintly.
If she didn’t wake up, despite the desire, it felt both regrettable and fortunate that she seemed to be deeply asleep.
He gazed at the sleeping Su Yeon for quite a while.
As the desire that had sprouted grew stronger, he forcefully suppressed it and stood up from the bed.
It seemed like he should take a cold shower.
Just as he thought that, when he took a step toward the bathroom, a sound of rustling from behind caught his attention.
“Um… Inho?”
At that moment, an unusually bright smile appeared on Inho’s lips.

Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi.
