Jung Gicheol completed his tasks for the day and said farewell to his employees. Accompanied by his manager and secretary, the elderly man prepared for a meeting with clients. "Sir?" the manager addressed him.

"Yes, Sehun."

"Sir, your car is ready for the meeting organized by our clients."

"Excellent. Is our presentation ready?"

"Yes, sir."

"Good, let's proceed then."

Gicheol approached his sleek Black Bentley, with his secretary holding the passenger door open. Expressing gratitude, he nodded and took his seat. As the car door closed, the manager and secretary entered the silver Range Rover behind them.

The second vehicle followed the first, navigating through the city streets. Once out of the bustling urban area, the cars transitioned to the highway, leading to a quiet double-lane road in the nearly midnight hour. 

The old man was busy catching on some news articles hardly paying attention to where the car was headed. He was aware of the location where they were headed hence his lack of interest in the surroundings. He then scrolled down and stumbled on another article that was about the engagement party of Kim Taehyung and his daughter Jung Yewon. He suddenly had an itch around his neck, so he asked the driver to turn the AC a bit higher. 

It seemed like a usual ride to the meeting spot until a blazing sound of a horn was heard with the deafening sound of the horn, a rough turn by the driver that made the iPad fly from the Gicheol's grasp, something hit the old man's head and everything went pitch black.

The Bentley's front end suffered a direct impact from a massive car carrier, causing the black vehicle to spin uncontrollably on the road. Despite losing control, the driver skillfully prevented a collision with the Range Rover trailing closely behind. Instead, the car ended up colliding with a substantial mound of sand situated on a nearby side track. Disregarding the damage it caused, the car carrier swiftly departed from the scene at an accelerated speed, narrowly avoiding a potential collision with the Range Rover. After safely parking the car on the roadside, Sehun and Mr. Jung's secretary hurried to the location where the Bentley was partially buried under the pile of soil.

The driver promptly dialed for an ambulance, while the other individual searched for Gicheol. It was visible from the closed window that the elderly man was unresponsive and trapped by his seat belt, with blood covering his body, making it challenging to assess the extent of his injuries. Sehun swiftly examined the faint body of Mr Jung, his face turning pale as he grasped the severity of the situation. He urgently shouted, "Park Yoo-sik! Contact the ambulance immediately!"

"They're already on their way, sir", came the reassuring response.

Sehun quickly summoned the other two, "Help me get Mr Jung out of the car but be very careful"

The other pair hurried to the location and, facing considerable difficulty, attempted to pry open the jammed door. Since it was secured from the inside, their efforts were in vain. Consequently, the driver sought out a sizable rock and instructed the others to step back as he shattered the window with it. Swiftly inserting his arm, he unlocked the car through the emergency mechanism within the damaged vehicle. Upon opening the door and checking for a pulse, his expression turned pale.

"Mr Jung's pulse is extremely weak; we need an ambulance immediately," Sehun announced with a sombre tone.

Regrettably, she added, "The driver didn't make it."

In a fit of helplessness, Sehun exclaimed, "What the fuck! Who could have done this?"
