Whispers of Autumn Wind (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97

“Truth be told, even before Father suggested bringing you here, I’d already wanted to meet you both.”

Oh Sung Jin, who had just come back from attending to Chairman Oh’s bedside, said this to Ga Eul and Gyeo Wool. Now, the only people left in the room were the three of them and Dae Woon.

“I wanted to inquire about Pyeongan’s attempted acquisition of your father’s company. I was deeply interested in that matter, as I believed it represented a golden opportunity for Pyeongan to enter the advanced technology industry. When that deal fell through, Pyeongan missed its chance to advance and ended up collapsing.”

“There was nothing wrong with Father’s design. It was Shinhwa Electronics that tampered with it.”

The moment their father’s company was mentioned, Gyeo Wool grew excited again.

Ga Eul tried to calm him down, but seeing Oh Sung Jin’s face light up upon hearing his words, she held back.

“Could you tell me more in detail? The Chairman instructed me to investigate this case himself, saying he couldn’t trust the initial investigation findings. He even summoned Secretary General Ahn Chang Beom—the person who knows most about this matter and who also oversaw the first investigation.”

“Gyeo Wool, you explain everything—don’t leave out a single detail.”

Seeing Oh Sung Jin’s enthusiasm for investigating their father’s case, Ga Eul also grew excited and gently nudged Gyeo Wool’s back.

Gyeo Wool recounted to Oh Sung Jin everything he’d previously told Chairman Oh Kyu Baek. He seemed well-prepared, delivering his account even more thoroughly and systematically than before.

After listening to Gyeo Wool’s full explanation, Oh Sung Jin tilted his head in puzzlement.

“That really is strange. Someone as meticulous as Secretary General Ahn Chang Beom wouldn’t conduct a sloppy investigation—so how could he possibly omit such a critical fact? He must’ve heard the exact same story from your father, yet he moved on without investigating it further.”

“Is Secretary General Ahn truly a trustworthy person?”

Even Ga Eul found it suspicious, and naturally, her doubts turned toward the person responsible for the investigation.

“Well… it’s impossible to fully know anyone. Still, when it comes to competence and loyalty to the company, no one matches Secretary General Ahn. The Chairman places enormous trust in him—he’s the one who serves the Chairman most closely.”
