Chapter 231: To Track Down the Distribution Map

Taehyung noticed how loyal the first patriarch was to the old Mr. Bai and was confident that the first patriarch wouldn't be a threat to his mission.

"The distribution map is not in the first patriarch's study," said Taehyung softly.

"Aunt, First Patriarch, Second Patriarch, mind if I share my thoughts?" Jungkook who was still in the main hall asked as he stretched.

The second patriarch's face fell, while the first patriarch looked on emotionlessly.

"I need to know the second patriarch's stand." Jungkook heard Taehyung from his earpiece.

Jungkook leaned towards the table with one elbow on the desk, his expression calm.

"It's alright if you think it is inappropriate, Second Patriarch," Jungkook said as he noticed the second patriarch's expression darken.

"Say it," the first patriarch commanded.

The second patriarch leaned back in his chair and squinted at Jungkook who was seated beside Bai Ying.

Bai Ying continued to gently stroke her cat as if nothing concerned her. She was only there for the sake of being present, like how it had always been.

Jungkook stared at the second patriarch without saying a word.

"Spit it out! Why do you stare at me?" The second patriarch snarled, slamming his hands on the table.

"The profits that the Bai family made from the arms trades has had obvious growth since last year, but there is one thing that I don't understand, Second Patriarch. Where did this profit growth come from and why has it not been disclosed to us?"

"What do you mean? Are you saying that I corrupted?" The second patriarch roared, fingers digging into the table.

"Second Patriarch," the first patriarch murmured, stopping the fight before it started, then turned to Jungkook. "Jimin decided to let the accounts team prepare the accounts statement since last year. The second patriarch doesn't know the details of each payment anymore."

"I see. I have misunderstood the second patriarch then," Jungkook said lightly, curving his lips, then continued, "by the way, did the first patriarch say Jimin? Surely not the same Jimin that I know?"

The first patriarch narrowed his eyes but did not say a word.

"You punk! Why are you here?" The second patriarch was a hot-tempered person and hollered at Jungkook without holding back.

"I was just worried about getting cheated. It has happened before, hasn't it? I owe my aunt for raising me, so shouldn't I protect what belongs to her and be careful with it?" Jungkook asked easily with a smile on his face.

Jungkook was shocked when he heard Taehyung say from his earpiece: "It's not with the second patriarch."

How did Taehyung know? It was so annoying that he couldn't show his curiosity. He couldn't deny that Taehyung was very smart. How did Taehyung figure out that the second patriarch was not the one when he had sensed nothing wrong from their conversation?

Meanwhile, it was Taehyung's turn to be on duty again. It had already been 7 hours since Tam and Jack left to pick Chaeyoung. If they were efficient, Chaeyoung would be here within the next two hours.

Taehyung patrolled with the others while paying attention to his earpiece. He had to track down the distribution map before Chaeyoung arrived. He would definitely have to be more careful, and it would be impossible for him to search all the places individually. He would have to figure out who the suspicious patriarch was only by what he would hear from his earpiece.
