When a snail falls in love | Liskook

Chapter 41

Like other bigger families, there was a certain balance of personal interest, emotion, and power among the members of the Jung family. The balance was not written in black and white, but after all these years, everyone had a certain role that they needed to play.

Jung Lan was the one who set the rules of the balance.

Jung Jinhwan had always wanted to be the one to maintain the balance but lacked the ability to do so.

Jung Jia seemed to be proud, but she actually followed the rules strictly.

And due to Jaehyun's outspoken personality, he ignored the existence of the balance.

Whereas Jung Misun was the one who silently maintained the balance.

Thus, she advised Jung Lan to not gobble up his brother's shares ten years ago and also opposed Jisoo's return to the Jung Group five years ago. Sadly, her father never took any of her advice and she ended up becoming Jung Lan's least favorite child instead. This was because she was the only one who pointed out the fact that the head of the Jung Group was once greedy and heartless and was similarly acutely aware of his weaknesses and guilt as he grew older.

Due to the small age gap and Jung Jinhwan's male chauvinistic behavior, he had always cared for his reserved second sister who was not favored by their father. Ever since they were younger, he had been protective of his sister, even in public. However, after they became adults, Jung Misun was the one who protected Jung Jinhwan whenever he encountered difficulties. She was the one who bailed him out when he got into jail because of fighting and was also the one who gave him advice when his business was failing.

This time was no exception.

On the night of the incident, she heard her big brother painfully plead for help on the phone. Aside from shock, the first thing that Jung Misun thought of was since the mistake had already been done, what she needed to do was minimize the damage and influence it could have on the family.

At this time, Jungkook interrupted her with a question. "Why did he argue with Jisoo?"

Jung Misun's gaze became calm. "After Jisoo returned to the company, father had only handed over the half-dead overseas investment department to her. Even so, she was so outstanding that she brought in huge profits every year. She might even be the most brilliant one out of all of us, so father started giving her more power."

After a slight pause, she added, "But last year, one of the investments in her department suffered a great loss."

Old Wu flipped through the information and asked, "You mean the case where she lost a hundred million yuan because her partner ran away with the money?"

Jung Misun remained silent for a moment before saying, "It was not a hundred million, it was two billion US dollars, or 14 billion yuan. Around half of the Jung Group disappeared into thin air."

Everyone outside the interrogation room was dumbfounded. Jungkook and Old Wu did not say anything, so Jung Misun continued, "Obviously, we tried to cover this up, otherwise the Jung Group's stock price would collapse overnight. Big Brother had always suspected that Jisoo was the one behind it. In truth, he had matured a lot compared to when he was younger. However, he had some drinks on that fateful night when he apparently overheard some rumors about the overseas investment department. Thus, he impulsively tailed Jisoo with his car and went to Lin An Mountain."

Just as Jungkook had expected, while the two of them were having a dispute, Jung Jinhwan accidentally killed Jisoo. Since he was nervous and flustered, he thought about disguising the crime scene as a blade injury incident.

Right at that moment, Jung Misun called him because of work. She could tell that there was something off with his tone and she forced the truth out of him.
