Chapter 66: Discovering Sunflower

Yeri believed she'd be in the clear, but little did she know that Lalisa had already reported the case to the police. An investigation into the IP address was underway, although insufficient evidence prevented an immediate arrest. However, with the same IP address used for two posts, authorities now had grounds for a direct arrest.

Lalisa had also come across the post promptly. She marveled at Yeri's talent for weaving stories from pictures. Despite the considerable distance between Lalisa and Jeon Zhuo, she could vividly imagine the ambiguous narratives. Lalisa thought that if Yeri had channeled this energy into writing novels, she would have gained fame long ago.

In addition to the post, Lalisa obtained a recording of Yeri's actions. A previously implanted virus had allowed her to capture the recording when activated, providing solid evidence.

However, Lalisa recognized that this piece of evidence was obtained illegally, so she refrained from sending it to the police, choosing instead to keep it for future use.

She refocused her attention on completing quests in the game. Just as she was about to embark on a new map, she noticed Bananamilkandkookies was online. Lalisa promptly invited him to join her in completing quests, understanding he was Jungkook, a proposal Bananamilkandkookies readily accepted.

Together, they gleefully vanquished adversaries in the new map. Meanwhile, Jungkook was attending an internal meeting at the MD building, centered on upgrading the building's security defenses.

However, aside from Yugeom, others in the meeting seemed less enthusiastic. They believed there were few individuals like Tu Mi, and the building's upgrade wouldn't be achieved overnight. They could simply pay for it when the time came, they thought.

Thus, only Yugeom spoke confidently, though he grew irate when he realized no one was taking him seriously. He slammed the table in frustration, exclaiming, "You all are too disrespectful!"

Xiumin, reclining on the sofa, retorted, "Trust me. The sound of funds being transferred will earn you unprecedented respect."

Xiumin's statement held, as Yugeom grudgingly returned to his seat, aware that these individuals were indeed paying up.

However, he couldn't help but notice Jungkook typing away on the keyboard. Curious, he approached and discovered the game page, exclaiming, "Jungkook, when did you start playing games?"

The others quickly gathered around the computer screen to observe. At this critical moment, Jungkook couldn't interrupt the game, so he allowed them to watch.

Chanyeol noticed something amiss and said, "The person who was on the mission with Jungkook looks familiar. The ID is Sunflower!"

He instantly raised his voice when he said the last three words. The others were also shocked.

Yugeom couldn't accept it and said, "I tried so hard to add Sunflower as a friend. Why did she reject me and beat me up?"

"Maybe it's because she doesn't like you," Xiumin said.

After the match, Yugeom quickly asked Jungkook, "How do you know Sunflower?"

"I got to know her when we were doing missions together," Jungkook said calmly. And we almost kissed last night, he added mentally.

Yugeom didn't expect it to be so simple. He looked sad. "Then why can't I?"

"You saw Jungkook's movements just now. He was as fast as the wind. Of course, Sunflower chose the strong as her friend," Chanyeol said.

These words deeply pierced Yugeom's heart. He squatted on the ground and felt as if his soul had left his body.

Then, he hugged Jungkook's leg and said, "I don't care. I want to be Sunflower's good friend too. If you don't agree, I won't be able to get up."
