Ji Hu was able to get Ms. Shin to talk to Choi Woo Sun to ask for an hour later than agreed upon. Ji Hu had a few more stop before heading over to the restaurant for her date. She wanted to speak with a lawyer who wasn't attached to the Mirae Group to see what he made of Seok Hoon's findings.

Ji Hu sat across from the attorney as he looked through the document. She pointed out exactly what was found. Attorney Jeong was a personal friend of the family, but not connected to the group.

"Something's definitely fishy."

"Could we bring criminal charges?" Ji Hu asked.

"To do that, you'll need solid evidence." Ji Hu leaned back, sighing heavily. "Going after a chaebol could cost you your life. Circumstantial evidence won't cut it." He said.

Ji Hu closed her eyes. That was the problem she was hoping to avoid – but the legal system wouldn't let her get any further than that. She needed the cold, hard evidence to prove that somebody at the group fucked up. Ji Hu nodded, "Yeah, I would like to avoid that if possible." Ji Hu knew her livelihood was at risk regardless of the fact she was getting lawyers involved. "That's why I came to you, Mr. Jeong."

"Of course, Ms. Noh, but I am going to need more than this."

"I understand." Ji Hu stood up from the chair, holding out her hand. "Thanks for listening, at least."

"Anything for you."

Ji Hu's next stop was the police station – honestly, she should just make room in the back for herself if she was going to continue to be there almost daily. She wanted an update on the case, hoping they found something interesting or noteworthy. She looked at the sketch that Gu Won provided the police after the first attack.

"We looked into the motorcycle he was riding, but it was undocumented and untraceable." Ji Hu sighed, passing the clipboard back to Gu Won to get a better look at the man. "And the sketch didn't hit any match in our database."

Ji Hu groaned. "Not exactly the update I was looking for, Detective Park."

"We're not making much progress, Ms. Noh." He said honestly.

Ji Hu rubbed the back of her neck. "Maybe I should act as bait."

"Don't say something so scary." It was Ji Hu's only way to find out who this fucker was and why he wanted to murder her. "I understand your concern, but I'll make sure ou can go back to your safe daily life as soon as possible." Detective Park said.

"As JiJi, I'm never safe, Detective Park." Ji Hu stood up from the chair. "Thank you for the update, I appreciate your hard work." Even if the cops were no closer to finding out who was after her.

Ji Hu and Gu Won walked out of the police station when Gu Won asked his question, "What did you mean by bait?"

"Well, it would lure him out, wouldn't it? He has to show up in order to harm me, right? That would give us the clues we need." Ji Hu said.

"You really are reckless."

Ji Hu stopped as Gu Won continued towards the car. "My life has been threatened. I have had two attempts on my life, and my siblings are trying to close me out. I'm desperate at this point, Gu Won." Ji Hu crossed her arms. "And I hate to admit it, but you're a damn good bodyguard." Ji Hu said as she walked away from him.
