THE CONSPIRACY-BANGTAN MAFIA FF ➡️

FOURTY-FIVE

"Boss, I've located the place where they keep Miss Jihyo," Jungkook let the leader know about his quick discovery when they gathered in his room.

"Where is she?"

"Han Si Woo is at the Paradise, according to this signal. He hasn't left the place since last night, which is very odd. I believe that he keeps Miss Jihyo somewhere in that casino. "

"But how were you able to track him down?" Seokjin was curious to know about the evil man's activities.

"My super-intelligent brain, of course. I hacked into his personal phone last night and collected all the data that was stored on it. Believe me, this man is as evil as we think he is," the youngest exclaimed, his body shuddering dramatically.

"What else did you find? "Namjoon asked the youngest, as he was desperate to know more.

"He contacted a few wicked, corrupted superiors, and from his texts with them, he ordered them to bribe Taehyung so he could report the latter misusing his police power for personal gain. Han Si Woo also transferred a large amount of money to a man named Choi Hyunjae," Seokjin and Namjoon looked at each other, their faces contorted with confusion and irritation at the same time.

"Choi Hyunjae? Isn't he the family attorney we contacted for Aera? I thought he was on her side. Aera just met him a few days ago," Namjoon was already well aware that you should not trust a soul in this world.

"Yes, he is. However, I still can't figure out Han Si Woo's motive for giving the man such a large amount of money. I'm still investigating it and will let you know as soon as I get more information," the youngest told Namjoon in a reassuring tone.

"Hyung, from the beginning, I didn't have a good feeling when Aera told us she wanted to meet the attorney. And with this new intel, it becomes more complex than we ever thought. "

"I'm aware of that, but I personally know Hyunjae very well. He was my junior, and I can guarantee he would never do anything to harm another person. Let me handle his situation," Seokjin reassured the leader.

"In the meantime, we need a plan to rescue Jihyo."

Aera's waking up today was too harsh for her. Worries had tormented her all night, and her whole body was sore from the intense workout last night. Even the simplest movements, like lifting her arms or legs, felt horribly painful. Therefore, all she wanted to do was lie in bed all day. Her eyes were hooded when she heard the door open. Quickly, she buried her face deeper into the pillow to make the guest go away. After a few minutes, she could feel a slight movement on her side and a hand around her waist.

"Aera, are you planning on sleeping the entire day?" Namjoon whispered as he pulled her closer against his body. When Aera did not say a word, he became highly concerned about her wellbeing.

"Baby, are you mad at me?" Aera turned her body to face the man before opening her eyes.

"No, I'm not. I'm just tired," She forced a smile to emphasize her words of solace.

"Jungkook told me you spent a whole night at the gym."

"Yes, I couldn't sleep last night. But now, I regret my decision to work out so much. My whole body is sore," she sighed lowly. Namjoon felt remorseful when he saw her eyes full of anxiety.

"Baby, I'm sorry for everything. I caused all this mess. It was all my doing. From my plan to kidnap you, be mean to you, and then force you to do things you didn't like. I know you are mad at me for involving you in this war between two mafia rivals..."

Aera leaned closer and kissed him thoroughly on the lips to shut him up. His eyes widened at the sudden behavior, yet after a few seconds, he pulled her into his arms and deepened the kiss. Aera rolled over to hover on top of him as she pulled apart from the kiss, looking down at the man underneath her with hooded eyes.
