Jungkook was going over a few spreadsheets when there was a loud blast and the ground underneath his feet shook.

Immediately, he got up and ran out of his office towards Kang Yeri’s. “Yeri!” he shouted, opening the door with force and almost knocking it off the hinges.

Kang Yeri was standing in middle of the room, placing her gun in the holster.

“Are you alright?” he asked.

“Yes. What happened?” she asked as they went out together.

“No idea. I just heard the blast. I think we might be under attack. I want you to leave while I tackle this. I’ll call you when everything is cleared.”

She turned and glared at him even as they broke into a run. “Have you gone mad?” she snapped.

“I’ll never leave when my people are in danger.
I’m not a bloody delicate flower to be kept safe while the big, strong men save the world. Never say such things to me again.”

Even though he was worried about her, he grinned. “Fine.”

As soon as they reached outside, they saw the dust that had risen in the air.

“What happened?” Jungkook asked one of his men, containing a cough.

“Some kind of grenade, I think.”

“Send our men to search the perimeter. I’m sure whoever did this is still around.” Jungkook passed the order to his man.

“Dong-ha,” Kang Yeri called out softly.

The man appeared from somewhere out of the dust like a mirage. “Yes, madam.”

“I want you to take some of our men to join the Kims in the search. I want whoever is responsible for this, standing in front of me alive by end of the day today.”

“Sure, madam,” Dong-ha replied and disappeared back into the dust.

Meantime, Jungkook and Kang Yeri checked whether anyone was badly hurt and also assessed the damage done to the construction.

“It’ll probably put our schedule behind by a couple of months,” Jungkook said grimly.

Kang Yeri frowned. “We’ll hire more workers to make up for some of the delay.”

Jungkook nodded.

An hour later, one of the men was caught.

“Tell us who the fuck sent you to do this!” Jungkook shouted as he punched the man who was strung upside down in one of the backrooms.

Apart from the painful grunts and groans as he was beaten, the man had remained frustratingly silent.

“Tell us!” Delivering one last kick, Jungkook turned away in disgust, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

Kang Yeri was seated in the room, watching everything while her personal bodyguard briefed her about something.

“We know he’s a Lee,” Jungkook told Kang Yeri.

“I have a feeling the order might have been given by someone within the main Lee family.”

Kang Yeri got up from the chair and went towards the man. “Name,” she said softly.

The man remained silent, but Jungkook could see him visibly trembling.

Everyone had heard about Kang Yeri's torture methods. There were rumors about the brutality involved. He had heard someone saying that people who were tortured by her preferred death. Some had even said the sound of her voice featured in the victim’s nightmares over and over.
