When a snail falls in love | Liskook

Chapter 31

In fact, she got teary-eyed but had quickly suppressed it. However, her eyes still got red, inevitably.

After a brief silence, Lisa frowned then turned her head away to escape from Jungkook's eyes, "I haven't cried in a long time."

Seeing her distressed look, Jungkook smiled. He was just about to get up when his eyes unintentionally glanced down.

Even the skin on her neck was fragile and pale, the blue veins faintly visible. Perhaps due to embarrassment, she was red from her neck to her ears. He had never seen anyone with skin that was so fragile as if it would break if touched.

Because Jungkook was still crouching, Lisa quickly noticed and turned her head, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Jungkook glanced at her, calm and composed, he said, "What do you think?" He then stood up and walked away. Lisa thought he probably wanted to observe her. So, she also got up and followed him back to the office.

As he entered the room, Jungkook immediately felt the unusual atmosphere. Taehyung signalled him with his eyes, and several other officers were frowning. He turned his head and immediately encountered Rosé sitting in her spot, staring at the computer screen, typing, but her eyes were red.

Jungkook didn't care and walked into his office. After a moment, he heard Lisa's gentle voice: "Rosé, do you have time, we..."

Jaehyun was sent home by a police car. Jaehyun's mansion was covered in bright sunlight, and the surroundings were very peaceful. He was just lying down for a while in the room when the door was opened.

The person who walked in was his father Jung Lan. Seeing his youngest son's frowning face, he sat down at the bedside, and smiled: "Why aren't you at the company and instead, hiding here?"

Jaehyun sat up: "Dad, Jisoo's dead."

Jung Lan's expression froze in place for a good minute.

Jaehyun took a deep breath: "She was murdered. The killer might be accomplices from the blade case." Having said to this point, his voice was choked.

Jung Lan was sixty-five this year but still looked to be in his early fifties. At this time, perhaps due to suppressing his expression, every wrinkle on his face seemed to tremble.

He did not say anything to Jaehyun, and also did not ask anything. He stood up, slowly, step by step walked out of the room. From Jaehyun's angle, his back was trembling, sluggish and he looked older than every moment in the past.

The police soon called the Jung family, informing them of Jisoo, moreover, requesting to speak with them. Jung Lan directly answered the phone.

That night, Jung Lan did not come down for dinner.

When Jaehyun went down to the dining room, everyone else had already gathered.

Even after taking a shower and changing clothes, his face still looked awful. The third sister, Jung Jia, glanced at him once and asked: "Where is Jisoo? Why didn't she come back with you?"

Jaehyun did not immediately answer, but he went to sit at his place. Everyone was used to his temper, so they didn't care. Suddenly, everyone heard him say: "Jisoo's dead."

The dining room became frighteningly quiet. Only Jaehyun picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.

The first one to speak was the eldest brother, Jung Jinhwan: "Fourth brother, what kind of joke is that?"

Jaehyun slammed the chopsticks on the table: "I'm joking? You must be happy now. You always suspected Jisoo will come back to steal the family fortune. Shit, she's dead, you can be at ease now.
