' Disclosures...' Chapter 18

A few days before Christmas, Mark informed his boss about the investigation he was assigned to.

" What have we got so far?" Yoongi's voice serious and stern.

Mark sat on the other side of the desk, legs slightly crossed." Chan...Born and raised in Dangjin. Finished high school there. No university degree. An only child.Moved to Seoul with his mother,a widower, ten years ago. Multiple jobs as a delivery boy, waiter and his latest one at the club. His mother got sick six years ago and has been receiving treatment since then. Serious heart disease. Couldn't find anything suspicious so Joong used his magic and discovered a deposit of a substantial amount of money to his account on..." He checked his notes." on June 20 2018."

" How much?"

" Over sixty million won."

Yoongi 's jaw dropped." Wow! By whom?"

" The deposit was made by him and part of the money was transferred to the hospital for his mother 's medical bills." Mark explained.

" He was given cash, which is odd... so noone could trace the source. Gambling? Illegal activities? Drugs? Is he involved in anything?"

" Nothing of the sort. We assumed the money came from blackmail."he pointed out.

" Keep searching....Han?" Yoongi slouched to the left side of his chair.

" Han Bong. Born in Ulsan. Comes from a poor family. Three brothers, two sisters. Studied medicine in Uksan university. Graduated top of his class. Moved to Seoul in 2004. Got married to a wannabe actress.Father of two boys. Up until six years ago his finances were normal. Rented house...no car...his account had less than a thousand wons..."

" I detect a but..."

" He now owns two houses. A luxurious penthouse in Gangnam- gu. Three expensive cars. A yacht in Jeju island. A big, fat account in the bank and spends like crazy. Holidays in resorts. Jewellery. Private schools. To answer your next question...no gambling.Winnings. Heritage or any apparent source of income rather than his salary." Mark expounded, drumming his right foot on the floor.

" Then how? Houses. Yacht. Cars. Expensive lifestyle. In s doctor 's salary. His wife maybe?" Yoongi wondered, frowning, rhythmically tapping his pen on the desk.

" She was poorer than him. Grew up in a village up north, came to Seoul when she was eighteen to pursuit an acting career and ended up serving coffee at Starbucks, where she met the doc. Now she can actually buy Starbucks!" he joked sarcastically, leaning his elbow on the desk.

Yoongi got up, shoved both hands in his front pockets, walking to the window. The view usually offered him peace of mind. Today it was giving him a headache.
" Six years..." he muttered sceptical." It all comes back to this...six years..."

" Boss what do I do now?"

Mark's voice brought him back to reality.
" Dig deeper. Find me the source of his sudden wealth. He definitely hides something. I need to know what it is." He abruptly turned around." How about Duri?"

Mark scrunched his lips, rubbing his left hand on his thigh. The information he got weren't easy to share so he seemed hesitant.

" Speak. I'm not exactly fond of her and I won't be surprised." Yoongi encouraged his employee.

" Mmmm...many lovers over the last five years. Quite a rakish life. Not highly respected or admired in the industry...." He coughed to clear his throat." Boss I'm not sure how to tell you this but... there's no record of her before 2013. Like she didn't exist."

Yoongi sat at the edge of the couch, frowning his eyebrows in apparent dismay." How is that even possible? She must have come from somewhere. She told us her parents died when she was ten. Her grandmother raised her but died a few years before marrying Tae. Any other living relatives?"
