The servant was piecing together the framework based on the list provided by Je Guk and the details investigated by Gang Jun.

Even though they knew Hyun Baek Hap was the culprit, the process of proving it was extremely arduous.

First, they had to reveal that the people on this list were ultimately Hyun Baek Hap’s minions.

“I’m back.”

Gang Jun returned after completing the summons investigation of those involved.

Ha In picked up her laptop, got up from her seat, and came to the meeting table.

She needed to hear about the recent summons investigation situation and they had agreed to have a meeting on how to proceed with the work going forward.

“Good work.”

Ha In said as she sat down. Gang Jun also brought his laptop to the meeting table and sat down.

Gang Jun had a face drenched in fatigue.

No matter how tired he was, Gang Jun would smile if there were results, so just by looking at his expression, the outcome seemed evident.

“The statements are all similar. They say it was a stock they were usually interested in so they bought it, and what’s the problem with selling it when the time comes.”

“Still, let’s place significance on conducting the summons investigation since the transaction records and circumstances are clear.”

Gang Jun nodded his head in agreement.

“Ah, did you hear the news, sunbae? I heard that a motion to dismiss Representative Director Lee Je Guk is being pursued.”

Ha In was so surprised that her pupils shook. But she soon tried hard not to show as much as she was surprised.

She shouldn’t act in a way that would cause Gang Jun to misunderstand.

Nevertheless, she was worried that Je Guk seemed to be going through hardships because of this case.

“The reason is?”

“The exact reason hasn’t been revealed, but there are rumors that his relationship with the chairman has rapidly deteriorated.”

Ha In newly felt that rumors don’t just babble about nothing.

“When I saw him then, that person named Lee Je Guk seemed quite rational. So that’s why they clashed.”

Gang Jun’s muttering to himself reached Ha In’s ears as well.

She was surprised that there was quite a point to what Gang Jun had said offhandedly without placing much meaning. But it was tricky to say this or that.

It wasn’t something that would have a big impact on the direction of the investigation, so unnecessarily adding a remark and drawing strange suspicion was needless.

Nevertheless, thoughts about Je Guk kept popping up. She felt like it was her fault that Je Guk was being driven into a corner.

“Sunbae.”

She tried to act like it was nothing, but she was so distracted that she didn’t hear Gang Jun calling her.

“Ah, sorry. What did you say?”

“Among those related to Hyun Baek Hap, this person seems to be the key man connected to Hyun Baek Hap’s closest secretary. I think we need to issue an arrest warrant.”

Gang Jun handed a document to Ha In, and Ha In pondered for a moment.

If they pressured the Cheonha Group now, all that responsibility could be shifted to Je Guk.

But Gang Jun’s judgment was also correct, so she had to be cautious.

Ha In greatly hesitated.

“Sunbae, what should we do?”

Until the matter of the motion to dismiss the representative director was resolved, it seemed they should stop the attack for a while.

“Let’s just restrict them from leaving the country and monitor the situation. Let’s frequently summon them on the pretext of investigation and grasp their movements.”

Ha In suspended requesting an arrest warrant for Je Guk’s sake, but she needed a more plausible logic to persuade Gang Jun.

“Besides requesting an arrest warrant now, there are still many people left to summon and receive statements from, right? Let’s postpone the war of attrition for now. How about it?”

“Yes.”

This time as well, Gang Jun didn’t protest or raise questions.

Ha In wanted to ask Gang Jun the reason, but she desperately endured it for fear that her emotions would get mixed into the conversation.

At that moment, there was a knocking sound and an investigator entered.

“Prosecutor, here are the investigation records.”

They were the records containing the statements from the recent summons investigation.

The investigator placed two copies of the records on the meeting table and left.

While examining the records, Ha In couldn’t concentrate because she was worried about Je Guk’s well-being.

It wasn’t unexpected that Hyun Baek Hap and Chairman Lee would try to obscure the essence of the case and interfere.

But she couldn’t understand them touching Je Guk of all people.

Je Guk was enduring so many truths to protect his father, but she was just lamenting how that person as a father could do that to his child.

Ha In firmly pressed her upper and lower lips together, biting them hard for fear that a sigh would leak out.

“Sunbae, please look at the second paragraph on page 7.”

Gang Jun’s voice rang in her ear. Ha In came to her senses.

“Yes.”

Ha In pulled herself together. The more fierce the counterattack from Hyun Baek Hap’s side became, the more thoroughly they had to prepare.

* * *

The legal affairs director sat down to examine the security USB that Je Guk had given.

It wouldn’t open and wasn’t possible to copy unless it was the legal affairs director’s desktop.

The contents stored on the USB would automatically delete after the deadline, so it had to be checked before other information.

Special attention was paid to security because it was internal information of the Cheonha Group.

The moment the legal affairs director was about to insert the USB into the desktop, he flinched at the noisy sound coming from outside.

– Open up, don’t you know who I am?!

It was Hyun Baek Hap even without checking who it was.

The legal affairs director stopped his hand that was about to insert the USB and stood up from his seat. And he pushed the USB deep into his pocket.

It was obvious that the employees in front would be pushed back by Hyun Baek Hap’s force.

Grateful that they would at least buy some time, he hurriedly checked if there were any documents that needed to be put away.

The internal documents of the Cheonha Art Museum lying on the desk caught the legal affairs director’s eye.

It would be a big problem if they caught Hyun Baek Hap’s attention by any chance.

The legal affairs director quickly picked up that file and looked around.

– Move!

The legal affairs director hastily inserted that file into the bookshelf and came out to sit at the sofa table.

All the documents left on the desk were important, so it would be a huge blunder if Hyun Baek Hap’s interest shifted in that direction.

At that moment, Hyun Baek Hap pushed open the door and entered.

The legal affairs director pretended to calmly examine the documents and then stood up from his seat.

“Ah, Director, you’ve come. What brings you here?”

Hyun Baek Hap looked the legal affairs director up and down and then scoffed.

“Ha. Director, you trusted Director Lee Je Guk and held your head up high, but now it looks like your string is about to be cut.”

Hyun Baek Hap came to pick a fight with the innocent legal affairs director.

“I can’t even tell you to have a seat since my office is like this.”

Hyun Baek Hap quickly glanced at the pile of documents and then looked at the legal affairs director again.

The legal affairs director wished that Hyun Baek Hap, who was like a time bomb, would leave this place soon.

“You can’t set the schedule for the summons investigation without me knowing. Je Guk trusted you and acted up, but you won’t be able to keep this position.”

She spoke to the legal affairs director in a tone that was neither informal nor polite.

In the end, she had come to vent her anger that had been provoked by the summons investigation schedule.

Hyun Baek Hap crossed her arms and showed interest in the documents placed on the sofa table.

“Brief me on how the situation is unfolding now.”

Hyun Baek Hap sat firmly in the middle of the sofa and waited for the legal affairs director’s briefing. But the legal affairs director had no obligation to brief Hyun Baek Hap.

The authority to receive updates on the case progress from the legal affairs director was only with Chairman Lee and Je Guk.

“It’s difficult for me to tell you about matters related to the case as they are internal secrets.”

At those words, Hyun Baek Hap frowned and glared at the legal affairs director.

“What? Director, do you not know who I am to act like this? This Cheonha Group belongs to my husband, so what is there that I shouldn’t know?”

She crossed her arms, got up from her seat, and yelled at the legal affairs director in a sharp voice, then got up and glared at him.

“I am just following orders. I’m sorry, but there’s nothing I can tell you within my authority.”

“Orders? Whose orders? Did the chairman tell me to do this to you? Whose orders! Who are you talking about!”

Hyun Baek Hap roared at the legal affairs director with the force to tear him apart.

“Then even if the legal affairs director doesn’t tell me, am I allowed to look? I’ll find it myself.”

With that, she turned her eyes to the documents.

“Even with so many documents, you can’t block a single summons investigation, does that make sense?! The entire legal affairs department needs to be replaced!”

Eventually, Hyun Baek Hap even arbitrarily occupied the legal affairs director’s desk.

Hyun Baek Hap started rummaging through the documents on the desk as if she wouldn’t even look at them.

The legal affairs director bowed his head deeply, sweating profusely.

The legal affairs director couldn’t stop her rampage even while blushing.

It was impossible for a mere legal affairs director to deal with the chairman’s wife.

She freely rummaged through the documents placed on the legal affairs director’s desk.

The legal affairs director was restless, unable to do this or that.

Nevertheless, he stood with his back covering the bookshelf where he had inserted the documents, fearing they would be discovered.

“Madam.”

Despite the legal affairs director’s dissuasion, Hyun Baek Hap paid no heed.

At that moment, Hyun Baek Hap’s hand, which had been rampaging like a mad dog, stopped.

The legal affairs director’s breath also caught in surprise.

He was suddenly afraid that she might have discovered the Cheonha Art Museum documents.

The legal affairs director quietly watched to see what document had made her stop rampaging.

It was a document related to the prosecutor in charge of this case. It was one of the documents that Je Guk had requested. The legal affairs director grabbed the document.

It shouldn’t be snatched away.

“Madam, if you do this.”

When the legal affairs director tried to retrieve the document once more, Hyun Baek Hap gripped the document tightly with force and pushed the legal affairs director away.

The legal affairs director couldn’t even engage in a physical struggle with Hyun Baek Hap, so he was going crazy.

“Cheon, Ha In?”

The name that Hyun Baek Hap read out was the very prosecutor that Je Guk had tried to hide.

The legal affairs director’s vision went dark.

“Cheon Ha In. Prosecutor Cheon Ha In?”

With an unbelievable expression, Hyun Baek Hap looked at Prosecutor Cheon Ha In’s profile again and examined it once more.

Unable to believe it just by looking at the name, she double-checked the photo.

It was the person that Hyun Baek Hap had thought of. It was that child.

“No, why Cheon Ha In.”

The startled Hyun Baek Hap couldn’t finish her sentence.
