After a few hours, Wang Guiren and Jackson arrived in a hurry.
It was a sleepless night for everyone as they discussed what had happened.
This discussion included their losses from tonight's attack as well as Taehyung's supposed pregnant girlfriend.
However, no matter how much they analyzed these random things, they couldn't seem to come up with a solution other than searching for the culprit and being more careful.
The discussion ended with them being exhausted and without any solutions. After all, waging a war was only easy if one knew who their enemy was.
...
However, who would have known that this was just the beginning of their problems?
That noon, another malware attack occurred. This time it was directed at the Choi Conglomerate.
This made Chaeyoung and Lisa more confused.
"These attacks look so random and intentional at the same time." Chaeyoung said, her eyes glued to her laptop. "As if someone is deliberately keeping us busy to divert their attention"
"I agree. Look at this file that Jin has sent." Lisa said. The couple chose to deal with all of these problems together in Chaeyoung's room. After all, the safest location was the Wang Estate.
Chaeyoung was adamant on staying at home to deal with these things. Since their enemy was still unknown, they were at a disadvantage, which meant that they couldn't move forward. The best thing to do if they couldn't move forward was to stay where they were.
This was a very important lesson that Chaeyoung learned from reading the Art of War. If it is to your advantage, make a forward move. If not, stay where you are.
"Hmmm... so that producer that Zara Yu told us about is also a dead end." Chaeyoung thought out loud. Lisa had just shown her the results of their investigation on the manuscript. According to Jin's findings, the producer was currently not aware of the manuscript that Zara Yu was talking about.
This could only mean two things. Either Zara Yu was lying, or she was tricked and had given the manuscript to someone else.
Someone who was either eyeing the film, or Moon Publishing.
At the same time, Chaeyoung also received a call from Taehyung. He informed her that Minnie Manoban wanted to see him to talk about something important.
Chaeyoung massaged her temples after she finished her call with Taehyung.
"Seems like your uncle is making his move." She told Lisa while massaging her neck. "The timing is just so perfect. I have a suspicion that he is the one responsible for all this, but I am confused about one thing. He could have easily done this a year ago while I was away. Why would he choose to wait until I came back to launch his plan?"
To her surprise, Lisa put away her laptop and walked behind her to massage her neck. "Don't tire yourself out. We are safe. Stop worrying about things so much. I'm sure we can solve this together."
"Hmmm..." Chaeyoung said while indulging herself in Lisa's massage. "This is good."
"Hm?"
