The World of Tiny Tan

Chapter 30

Young-Mi's POV:

"Ji-Hoonssi if you tell me I would be able to help you in a better way."

"Last week before the weekend I was about to reach office when I got a phone call from a burner phone. It was just a missed call and I received a video from another number. It was Ae-Cha crossing a road and a car about to hit her right in the mid of the road."

I and Ae-Cha were glancing at each other. As expected the culprit knew about Ae-Cha and had used her as a weapon to threaten Ji-Hoonssi.

"As soon as I saw the video it got deleted. It was a self-destructive video. And I got a call from the number which gave me a missed call. He said he knew where Ae-Cha was and what she was doing. And that he was watching over her even at school and after school."

"What? Seriously? This is ridiculous and breach of someone's privacy causing mental abuse." I said.

"Dad what was in that video like could you describe little so that I know some idea of it."

"It was near our bus stop where you take the bus. And that day I left early and you took a bus by yourself it was of that day."

"Oh. Yeah, I remember. Yes."

"Ji-Hoonssi what else did happen that day?."

"He told me to go to the office on weekend. I mean on Saturday. And he told me to login into my system and leave it unlocked till lunch break. He also told me to leave the cabin and not let anyone enter by any chance."

"Oh. I see. He used the weekend so that he could proceed with his plan smoothly as most of the people are on leave that day. I see. Quite planned. Also, I think he was keeping watch on Ae-Cha for a while and he waited for a chance to grab you. The day you left Ae-Cha to go on her own, he intelligently used that chance to threaten you."

"Yeah. You seem correct. I also thought the same. The next day I went and did as told. There was absolutely no one except me and Seok that day in the office. Favoring culprit's luck."

"So, how did you convince Seok of not entering your office. I mean how did he come that day too?." I asked with suspicion.

"I did not tell him anything about me working that day. It seemed that he either knew it beforehand or he had some work for himself in office. At least he told me he had some work with HR that day when I asked him about his presence."

"Hmm. So, that was pure coincidental then. So, was he with you anytime?."

"No, he was in the HR office the whole time. I locked the cabin and went so that none enters not even cleaners and went out to the cafe."

"So, if he was in the HR office and you locked the cabin, there is no means of anyone who can enter. But why did he ask you to the only login into the system? Are you sure he asked nothing else from you?" I asked.

"Yes, he told me I just had to power on my PC and connect to the VPN and leave the desk unlocked."

"Ok. So, that's how your IP is the logs. So, if something suspicious happens and someone searches for it, the logs will point it out to you and the police will get it after you."

"Like wow what a perfect plan. How can someone do this to my father? How evil. Aish! " Ae-Cha was almost going to bounce from her place and seemed like she would punch if she knew that person.

I placed my hand over their hands and calmed her down with eye expressions. It seemed she knew I could do this and help her dad.

"Ok. So we need to find out from the CCTV camera who is it that entered the office after you left if someone has your keys or something and that way." I said.

"No use. I checked the cameras secretly and I found no one entering the office. I had my keys with me all the time." Ji-Hoonssi said as if he had lost all his hope.

"Ok. We will look into this but before that Ae-Cha your dad telling that video had you getting in some accident. Did it happen sometime? Have you ever encountered that kind of stuff?". I asked her.

"The video was real. It was not forged. I even called her right after this and she was really at the stop that time." Ji-Hoonssi said.

"Hmm. Yes, that time when I was crossing the road a car suddenly came even though the signal was green and it was so fast that I almost thought it would hit me. But then it stopped right before the cross path and I was pulled by Seokssi."

"What?" I and Ji-Hoonssi yelled together.

"How do you know Seok?" I asked.

"I have seen him many times with dad at some functions and sometimes he came over to our house for meetings or some document drop-offs. Sometimes when Dad was not at home I had taken documents from him at our house and that's how I know him." Ae-Cha explained.

"Ok. But Ji-Hoonssi don't you think it is a little suspicious of him saving Ae-Cha out of the blue and also coming to office same time as you without informing you even though he is your PA." I asked.

"No, Young-Mi you also know he has been us since long. I trust him. Also, he lives nearby from where Ae-Cha takes the bus. He also sometimes takes the bus from there." He said.

"Hmm. Ok. So, Ae-Cha you need to be careful now that you are being watched. I and Ji-Hoonsssi will sort this out together. Understood? " I told Ae-Cha.

She nodded. "That's why Dad went on to work on that weekend now I know unlike him. He did not even meet me that day. Usually, we spend a weekend together. Also, he seemed so stressed when he called me that time when I was at a bus stop."

"Yes. Now, tell me how does Ae-Cha know you?" Ji-Hoonssi asked me.

"We met by coincidence or planned but someone special asked help from us regarding this and then I went on investigating this." He still seemed confused. I and Ae-Cha were laughing meanwhile. "Dad, we are in safe hands and we would surely let you know about the one who requested this when all this gets sorted out," Ae-Cha said.

"Ok. So, you both take care for now. And let's not discuss this anymore at the office Ji-Hoonssi. I will handle this and make sure you are not dragged and neither charged for anything you haven't done. Just believe me and be safe." I said and got up from the seat.

"I will take your leave now. Ae-Cha, be careful." I bid bye to both of them and went out.

I got into the car fast and Jun-su seemed so surprised. He was also not expecting this as he thought Ji-Hoonssi was the culprit but this took a turnover.

"Well, see nothing happened. I told you everything would be fine." He held my hands in his and said. I nodded.

"So, you heard us all na? This is how it is." I said.

"Yes, but I think Seok that secretary of his is still suspicious. I cannot like trust how he had such perfect timing everywhere."Jun-su said.

"Yes. But Ji-Hoonssi trusts him a lot. They have been working so closely for years. But you are correct we cannot let this go. We shall look into this in deeper."

"Hmm. If Ji-Hoonssi trusts him so much don't let him doubt that we are suspecting Seok and we can find out more of him by ourselves. Also, you need to be careful too." Jun-su said with a smile on his face.

"Now, we need a plan to confirm Seok is the one we are looking for," I said.

"Do you have any plans or any idea for this?." Jun-su asked.

"Yes, someone used tabloids to leak the lyrics of BTS's songs and so we shall use the same thing and let him taste his own medicine," I said.

"But how?" Jun-su asked.

What will Young-Mi do to reach the culprit out? The next chapter is waiting for you to discover that.
