"She's the proof that you
can walk through hell
and still be an angel"

"Am I a private detective agency to you now?" Jangmul asked aggressively throwing a folder of papers onto the table "Making me run background checks? You shouldn't do this!"

"They've been reading people's minds using their powers as counters, and I got anxious" Ms. Chu exclaimed taking a plastic cup from the coffee machine full of this before approaching the team sitting around the wooden table "They'll be excommunicated as soon as Yung finds out. I can't believe their nerves"

"I know it's just a cup of coffee but try to have some class. That's what life's about" Jangmul claimed as Ms. Chu put the cup of coffee in front of him

"Just take what you get, okay? Great work" She praised, checking the papers she had in her hands

"Those brothers lived very dirty lives, even for kids whose parents died early and who didn't have good circumstances" Jangmul began to explain

"I can't believe this. How did someone with 11 previous convictions become Taesin's executive director?" Ms. Chu questioned, frowning

"They found a successful lord. It's Cho Tae-sin" He showed them an image of Tae-sin before placing it on the table "Cho Tae-sin, this guy. He's unbelievable. He was a dealer"

"A drug dealer?" Mun asked with brows raised

"Yes, then he cleaned up everything, made himself presentable, and came out into the world. Then Cho Tae-sin took over a construction firm, and Noh Hang-gyu found a goods and services company. Then the next year, all of a sudden, Jungjin was overtaken with redevelopment craze" Jangmul explained

"All of a sudden?" Mo-tak asked leaning towards him

"All of a sudden" Jangmul repeated, nodding his head "Fishy, isn't it? They have someone in their hands"

"Who?"

"Shin Myeong-hwi" Mun exclaimed, getting the point of everything Jangmul explained to them

"Yes, that's right" Jangmul nodded his head "Shin Myeong-hwi was the head of this borough back then. The puzzle is coming together, right? They made up Tae-sin Group as a front" He spread the papers on the table "But they've been operating 11 more companies with a puppet boss, just as he did while dealing drugs"

Thea narrowed her eyes when they came across someone in particular among the papers scattered on the table. She curiously took the paper in her hands, instantly recognizing who it was, how to forget the person who made her father's life a living hell, it was Park Ye-Jun, her uncle.

She squeezed the paper tightly, her knuckles turned white in a matter of seconds and the paper began to wrinkle in her hands, it was to be expected that two people in particular would notice this. Thea gasped in surprise when someone took the paper from her hands, completely ruining her plans to destroy the entire paper. Thea turned her head towards whoever had been responsible, although she lowered her gaze almost at the same moment her eyes made contact with Hana's.
