"Second brother... I've already told you they have enough evidence to request the death penalty. Stop struggling... you are only hurting yourself." Chuan's provocation only made Hao angrier and caused him to struggle even more. How could he allow Chuan to mock him like this?
"Mr. Kim, if you are innocent then please just leave with the police officers. Please... let's not create any more scandals," suggested one of the board members. While they haven't heard the whole story, they also did not want the company to be implicated in Hao's crimes. "Please Mr. Kim. This is for the company."
"You- Are you really going to let this imbecile do this to me?"
Before any of the board members could answer him, Chuan's scoff rang out. He gestured for the police to make Hao return to his seat. "The way you called me an imbecile is just insulting yourself. If I am an imbecile, then what are you?"
"Sh*t up! How dare you frame..."
"Tsk... Tsk... Hao, stop being shameless. Do you really dare to discuss this in front of me?" Chuan taunted with a smile. "We all know that you are useless in front of me. You were useless then and you are useless now. Do you really want to play this game with me?"
Hao stared intently at his brother. He could feel his insides churning from unreleased aggression. He was sure that if he said one more thing, Chuan would reveal how he was the one devising and implementing all of the projects while Hao greedily took credit for them. Hao gnashed his teeth before snarling, "You are such a despicable person!"
"Coming from you... despicable doesn't sound bad at all," Chuan countered before leaning towards his brother. "Now... you sit right there and watch."
"What are you going to do?"
In response, Chuan patted his brother's shoulders and gave him a fake smile. "Reclaiming what's mine," he said as his gaze turned to the group of men and women before them.
.....
"She was raped?" Jennie's brows instantly furrowed when she heard Sehun's report. Initially Jennie was planning to go to work today, but because she wanted to visit Yifei, she cancelled her original plans.
"Yes, and her face was badly burned too," Sehun said. "The police also found some unsigned documents for the transfer of her shares to Hao. Everything is going rather well. The news has gone viral and a lot of women are already screaming for death penalty."
"That man deserves to suffer," Jennie concurred. Rape? Really? Hao was truly a ruthless human being. Jennie could only shake her head. "Is Yifei still alive though?"
"She is. She was conscious when the police found her. But as I said... she was badly ruined. Man... I know I am ruthless but I have never done that to my enemies, no matter how evil they were. I believe skinning them alive is still the best choice possible..."
"Since she is conscious... I will go and see her," Jennie interrupted Sehun as she looked towards the silent Lisa. "Are you coming with me?"
"Hmmm," Lisa nodded as he rose from his seat. Because Seoul is quite far from Daegu, they chose to go to the mainland and stay in a hotel first before going to the hospital. Moreover, Jennie already decided to postpone her original plan of going back to work..
Of course, Sehun decided to go with them.
"I never expected Hao to be this... inhumane," Jennie said, her gaze focused on the passing scenery.
"Hao's intellect is low. Such behavior is actually to be expected of a man like him," Lisa said. "This type of man exists in every country in the world. They are dumb as a rock, but their egos convince them that they far more intelligent and crafty than they are in reality. It's extremely easy to seduce them and manipulate them. The best way to do this is to stroke their ego and make it bloat even more."
