Lee Boa forced Syung Mi into a chair at the office computer. "Quickly, open the corporate account and transfer everything to this account now!" Syung's fury towards Lee Boa was mounting.

"You desperate fool, all of this for what?" she demanded while accessing the accounts at Bealk Industries. "Just be quiet and hurry... If you had stayed by my side, I would never have had to resort to any of this. Loverboy appeared out of nowhere, and you wanted a divorce." Lee's distortion of the situation was merely a fragment of his belief, concocted to justify his actions.

Syung remained silent, not wanting to provoke him further as he had a weapon on her. To access any of the accounts, she needed to circumvent their security. The issue with technology and those who fail to understand it is that she managed to activate the account's alarm system, sending a code to the bank's security team and the corporate headquarters. It appeared as though she was transferring the money, but in reality, the numbers Lee Bo saw accumulating in the account were not funds but an alert to the offshore account of fraudulent activity.

"It's done," she declared, locking eyes with him. He grabbed the safe's contents, their passports, and the bag from the desk. Yanking her from her chair, they left the house for the airport.

She glanced back at the computer, a smirk playing on her lips, secure in the knowledge that he wouldn't get any of the money.

Her plan hinged on his urgency to flee... His phone buzzed with a notification that the transfer was complete.

Lee forced her into the car, tying her hands to prevent further resistance. He pulled away, the car's lights off, just as the gate opened and the police arrived. Overcome with rage, he sped towards the airport and the freeway.

The police radioed for more help as Yoon's sister was concerned they wouldn't reach her brother in time.

"Please, detective, find my brother!" she shouted as the detective sprinted to his car, heading towards Lee Bo-va.

He was shocked. How did they find him so quickly, or know it was him? "Give up, Lee; this is going to get you killed," urged Syung Mi.

"I'm not going to jail, and I'm not leaving you here. If I die, you die," he declared, pressing the gas and accelerating the speed of the chase.

Yoon was taken to the same location as before, ten years ago. The detective retrieved the file based on the information provided during Yoon's interview. "Dispatch, send a patrol to this address; it's related to the abduction of Hyun Woo."

Lee took an unexpected turn, heading out of Seoul, away from the airport. "What are you doing?" Seung Mi asked him. "Shut up, I need to think," he replied.

"Stop the car, idiot! You're going too fast!" Syung Mi exclaimed in fear. There was fog on the road and a ramp ahead. The police car accelerated up the ramp while the other patrol cars sped ahead of him to cut him off.

Lee Bo-va was headed to the same place they had taken Yoon...
