Ji Yeon Woo seemed visibly tense ahead of Lee Je Ni’s summoning investigation.

Inwardly, Cheon Ha In was concerned about Ji Yeon Woo’s condition.

“Detective Choi, don’t worry too much. I’ll be watching from the monitoring room the whole time today.”

“Ah, don’t worry senior. You must be busy preparing for Chairman Lee’s summoning investigation.”

Ha In had postponed this summoning investigation to Ji Yeon Woo using that excuse. She wanted to see to what extent Je Ni’s condition was.

“I actually have a bit more free time after the confinement. Don’t feel too burdened.”

Ji Yeon Woo nodded at Ha In’s words.

“The rumors about Je Ni are ominous, have you seen a nutcase or two?”

It would probably be the worst nutcase Ji Yeon Woo had seen in his life as a prosecutor.

A knocking sound was heard, going ‘knock knock’.

“Prosecutor, Ms. Lee Je Ni has arrived.”

The employee who said that didn’t have a good expression.

Ha In stood up from her seat together with Ji Yeon Woo.

They calmly shared strategies even on the way to the testimony recording room.

Even before arriving, the sound of struggling rang through the corridor. Ji Yeon Woo looked towards the direction of the sound with a startled expression.

It was from the testimony recording room.

Ha In was on high alert. Even hearing it briefly, it sounded like Je Ni’s voice.

“We should go quickly.”

Ji Yeon Woo hurriedly moved his steps.

Ha In calmly followed behind him. Ha In watched the situation of Ji Yeon Woo, Je Ni, and the defense team from the monitoring room.

The investigators standing in the monitoring room shook their heads.

In the testimony recording room, there was an iced vanilla latte placed. It seemed Je Ni had been drinking it.

“Is that coffee worth risking your life over like that?”

– When are we starting!

The agreed time was clearly on the dot.

Coming 20 minutes early, she demanded they buy an iced vanilla latte, complained why they bought this brand, asked when the prosecutor was coming, everything was overturned.

The lawyers accompanying Je Ni also had a stiff atmosphere.

As Ji Yeon Woo took his seat, Je Ni crossed her legs and folded her arms, openly showing discomfort.

Watching that, Ha In just felt sorry towards Ji Yeon Woo.

– Did you make me wait now?

Je Ni expressed her dissatisfaction to Ji Yeon Woo in rough language, even mixing in expletives.

Je Ni seemed to be becoming more of a child rather than an adult as the days went by. The only thing that had grown was her maliciousness.

When Ji Yeon Woo didn’t really reply, Je Ni stood up slamming the desk.

– Hey! Can’t you hear me!

As Je Ni lashed out at Ji Yeon Woo, the investigators in the monitoring room stirred. The defense team who came to defend Je Ni also tried to stop her.

Fortunately, Ji Yeon Woo was not greatly shaken by such struggling.

Although Ji Yeon Woo’s career as a prosecutor was not very long, he had solid inner strength.

– We will start the investigation right away. Take a seat.

Ji Yeon Woo spoke calmly and clearly.

– Young lady… If you act like this here…

The voice of the lawyer desperately trying to stop Je Ni came through the speaker. But Je Ni was not one to listen.

Because bad rumors about Je Ni had spread, prominent law firms had all avoided this case, but there were rumors that Chairman Lee had poured in billions to barely appoint a law firm.

– Please cooperate for a smooth investigation.

Je Ni wore an expression that the investigation was boring. But as if it had been agreed beforehand, she consistently exercised her right to remain silent and stayed quiet.

Ha In watched the situation through the monitor at ease.

At that moment, an investigator approached Ha In.

“Prosecutor, one of the seriously injured from Je Ni’s accident has passed away.”

“Ah, I see.”

Yet that immature girl had a glossy face without a hint of reflection.

Ha In thought Je Ni might not even remember her.

For Ha In, it was a time painful enough to die, but for Je Ni, it may have just been a boring time.

– Right now, our client is in a state of mental weakness to the point she can’t recognize people well. Yesterday, there was a visit from her mother, but she couldn’t even recognize her own mother’s face.

The defense team appealed that Je Ni was going through a seriously difficult time mentally.

But to Ha In, the words that she was so mentally weak she couldn’t recognize people sounded quite fascinating.

Throughout the investigation, Je Ni did other things and asked when it would end. Then, unable to bear it, she messed up her hair or acted irritably.

It got worse as time passed. Just looking at that, she really seemed like someone with a problem somewhere.

– Uhm, let’s take a short break and continue.

After 4 hours, an exhausted Ji Yeon Woo first suggested taking a short break before continuing. Ji Yeon Woo was not one to first suggest a break unless it was too much.

Coming outside, Ji Yeon Woo saw Ha In standing in the monitoring room and felt ashamed.

“We didn’t get anything.”

That was not the case. Thanks to Ji Yeon Woo, everyone learned to what extent of a human Je Ni was. And it gave Ha In the chance to directly approach Je Ni.

“No. You worked very hard.”

“Whew…”

Walking side by side with Ha In towards the office, Ji Yeon Woo let out a sigh that sounded like a deep breath.

Ha In stopped walking and looked at Ji Yeon Woo. Ji Yeon Woo also stopped and turned his gaze to Ha In.

“Should we switch later?”

Ha In judged that she could directly deal with Je Ni. She could respect her junior and also respond to Je Ni.

“Ah, no. She’s no ordinary headache.”

“If I knew she would be like this, I should have gone in from the beginning.”

Ji Yeon Woo realized he had misspoke.

He didn’t say anything more as Ha In was a step above in dealing with such troublemakers.

Ha In had no intention of getting angry during Je Ni’s investigation. She planned to wait calmly and slowly for Je Ni to make a mistake.

“I’ll just poke at her a bit. She’ll trip up on her own without much provocation.”

When the investigation resumed, it was decided Ha In would enter the testimony recording room and Ji Yeon Woo would stand in the monitoring room.

As Ha In went into the testimony recording room and stood, Je Ni glared at Ha In with a displeased expression.

Ha In stared straight at Je Ni’s eyes without avoiding them.

Ha In clearly remembered Je Ni, but it seemed Je Ni did not.

Should she regret having moved carefully?

“I am Prosecutor Cheon Ha In.”

Even courageously reciting her name, Je Ni did not remember Ha In.

Apart from her mental weakness, it seemed Ha In was a meaningless person to Je Ni.

Je Ni crossed her arms and sat leaning at an angle with her head tilted back.

“The chair is X uncomfortable too. What time is it now?”

Je Ni asked the lawyer. The lawyer told her the current time and Je Ni made an expression like she was going crazy.

“Quickly, quickly. Just answer roughly.”

Then she hummed a tune.

Ha In’s pupils turned cold as she stared intently at Je Ni.

The lawyers were also flustered by her thoughtless behavior, but there was a reason Ha In had frozen coldly.

Je Ni’s habit of humming a tune when she got bored was still the same, making her skin crawl.

When Ha In was at the Cheonha Group mansion, she had played the role of a ridiculous servant that would only exist in the Joseon era.

Starting from Chairman Lee’s greed to teach Je Ni in a way befitting Cheonha Group’s prestige when she came to Korea, it was a laughable matter.

Since Chairman Lee could not hit his own child, Ha In was hit instead of Je Ni.

Was that all? Whenever Je Ni was driven into a corner, she put Ha In forward to escape the crisis.

Ha In was beaten to death then and it was painful enough to die.

Watching Je Ni who had become a bright lunatic without a trace, Ha In unconsciously felt a throbbing pain in her solar plexus.

“Ms. Je Ni, sit up straight.”

“Ha, who are you to tell me to sit up straight?”

Je Ni gave a hollow laugh, looking Ha In up and down, then hummed a tune while looking into the air.

She could even let out a hollow laugh. Ha In couldn’t even muster a sneer.

“From now on, I will only ask what you have to directly answer yourself.”

“Right now, our client’s health is very poor. Please end it as quickly as possible.”

The lawyer carefully spoke. The attitude was respectful but they were not people who would give the answer Ha In wanted.

“Just answer faithfully.”

“Ah! They said to hurry up and let me go! Lawyer, I can go home after this is over, right?”

Je Ni screamed like a crazy person, messing up her hair.

“Ah, I see you’ve recovered enough to go home.”

The defense team flinched at Ha In’s pointed words.

“I’m perfectly fine so stop worrying about my health and do your own job.”

Je Ni babbled thoughtless words.

Whenever Je Ni opened her mouth, the defense team was at a loss, not knowing what to do in their predicament.

“I apologize, Prosecutor. The client is currently quite unwell to the point she can’t discern the situation.”

The lawyer was busy making excuses.

“No, hey! Did you just apologize to her?! Ah, what are you doing so embarrassingly!”

Je Ni shouted at the lawyer, raising the veins in her neck.

The defense team repeatedly bowed their heads and apologized, saying they were sorry in order to calm Je Ni.

How could her actions be so identical to what she did with her mother? Ha In almost clicked her tongue.

“Ah right, Ms. Je Ni, did you receive news that the seriously injured related to your case passed away?”

At those words, the defense team fell into chaos and Je Ni acted disinterested in such a thing, blowing on her fingernails.

“Enough. It seems everyone is informing me even if I don’t say it. I’ll go home. No, I can’t stay here. I want to go abroad again.”

Among Je Ni’s babbling, it was the most welcome thing to hear.

Je Ni was creating justification for a warrant herself.
