Seri's mind is in autopilot ever since that call from Yi Soo, she asked Jeong Hyeok to take her to the address that was sent to her. With her eyes focus on the road, her mind is clearly running out of all the possible scenarios on what Yi Soo found out.

This shouldn't be a bad thing, she reminded herself.

Jeong Hyeok on the driver's seat could feel how anxious Seri is but he politely gave her space to freak out over this. He isn't sure if he should start to worry as this is still about her family after all.

Seri felt a slight hint of guilt as she felt how uneasy Jeong Hyeok is beside her but she had no chance on assuring him when she realized they are in the meeting place already. She sighed in relief as Jeong Hyeok stopped the car in front of the main door. She waited for him to say something while slightly avoiding any eye contact.

He put the car on break and turned to her, "Go... I'll park the car." he said and smiled at her. "Call me when you're done, I'll pick you up here."

She hesitated as she looked between the restaurant and Jeong Hyeok, "You can come with me." she reluctantly offered. He just shook his head and opened the door lock so she could jump out of the car, "You can loop me in later, go ahead."

Seri nodded and kissed him in his cheek and offered a small smile. She turned to go and leave to meet Yi Soo but only after making sure that Jeong Hyeok is really fine with all of this.

The waiter by the door smiled at her and lead her to where Yi Soo is. She could sense that he knew who she was so she didn't have to say anything to the waiter. Seri then figured that they would be needing the privacy of the private area so she isn't surprised that she was lead there. Yi Soo saw her enter the room and quickly collected the papers he has in front of him.

"Do you want to order first? I already ordered." he asked Seri. He did not even has to wait for her answer when he saw how she eyed the papers in his hand.

"Okay, then." he said when he realized she wanted to go straight to the point and handed the folder over. "They're all in it." he started.

Seri looked at him confused and opened the folder as he continued, "Se-Hyung, your father and mine."

There were screenshots of bank transactions, endless email trails from her brother and some guy talking about a new "business venture" and from going through it quickly, she could infer that the transactions are illegal. Yi Soo started explaining then, "It started with our fathers being involved in gambling and doing business with Chinese businessmen they met in Busan. From there, something went wrong and they ended up in debt. These are not regular businessmen as they were apparently connected with the mafia or something."

"They gamble?" she asked confused even though she could see the pictures from CCTV in front of her in the folder. "How did Se Hyung oppa...." she asked as Yi Soo answered without letting her finish, "They eventually needed someone else's help. They realized that they need to liquidate money from the company and transfer it in their accounts as they have lost a huge amount of money."

Yi Soo gave Seri time ro browse through the files before he continued speaking, "Remember the project Se Hyung is doing with our company? They used that to steal the money. Long story short, they messed up and included Se Hyung in cleaning up after their mess. There's no evidence that Sejun is in anyway involved."

She nodded remembering the multi billion won deal Se Hyung closed with Yi Soo's father that he kept bragging about as she still flipping through the pages.
