Vroooom. Jungkook’s car accelerated. As it approached his house, Jungkook saw that Jaehyun had already arrived.

“Just drop me off at the front door. After that, you may leave, Secretary Lee.”

Secretary Lee had a strange expression on his face when he heard Jungkook’s words.

“Ah… Yes, sir.”

What’s going on with him lately?

He heard that Jungkook gave all the employees within the house some time off and that only the butler, Sejin, remained. Also, there was no trace of the young madame. On the day they had left for the main house, only Jungkook had returned. Whether she had gone back to her father’s house or whether she had gone somewhere else, no one knew.

After Yeri heard about this, she bristled and began to nag Secretary Lee for answers, but it was no use. He didn’t know anything either. As the head of security at HyunJin, it looked like Jaehyun knew something, but he kept his mouth shut. Didn’t Jungkook go to the R&K headquarters today because of the young madame?

Secretary Lee was extremely curious about what had happened, but he was in no place to ask.

“Please pick me up at the same time tomorrow.”

With that, Jungkook got out of the car. Secretary Lee saw a blonde man, who had been leaning on the dark gray SUV, straighten up and approach Jungkook. It was Jaehyun Jung, the man in charge of security at HyunJin. He was Russian-American and very well-known within the company. Secretary Lee watched the two men walk away through the side-view mirror.

Jaehyun and Jungkook’s builds were very similar. Both were tall and lean.

“What happened?”

At Jungkook’s question, Jaehyun took off his sunglasses and looked at him.

“That’s what I wanted to ask you. Just what in the hell is going on? We managed to bypass it, but the attack started with HyunJin. What if someone finds out? The data servers at the headquarters were even turned off. Hey, you need to go rein in your wife.”

“Let’s go up.”

Jungkook didn’t know what happened, but he needed to go and talk to Lisa. The two went inside. When they got off the elevator, Jungkook was surprised to see that Sejin was nowhere to be seen.

He always saw Sejin waiting to greet him whenever he returned home. Seeing that he wasn’t here, Jungkook became tense. He didn’t see any security guards either. The surveillance system outside was still recording, but it was still possible that something had gone wrong.

“Lisa!”

As soon as he reached the 4th floor, Jungkook looked for Lisa. He checked her bedroom, but all he found was a sleeping Taehyung . Surprised, Jungkook and Jaehyun went to the 2nd floor to check the dining room and the study. When they approached the study, they finally heard noises indicated someone’s presence.

He quickly opened the study door and was absolutely shocked by what he saw.

It was complete chaos inside the room. He didn’t know where all these computers came from, but the study was full of machines and cables. All the monitors were running computer programs without pause. Even Sejin was standing there holding up a TV monitor.

“Ah, Director. How did you come back so early…?”

Sejin’s surprise was evident on his face.

“Director?”

Someone stood up and looked towards Jungkook. It was a strange woman with a slim figure, white face, black lipstick, and short hair. Next to her, Lisa had been looking intently at the monitor. She suddenly stood up. His wife was wearing glasses and her long hair was tied up.
