Don't Blame Me || Jeongcheol

Chapter 1

Seungcheol was sitting at his desk, going through some paperwork when he heard a knock on his office door. “Come in,” he said, without looking up.

The door opened and his second-in-command, Joshua, walked in. “We’ve got a situation,” Joshua said, his tone serious.

Seungcheol looked up, his expression turning serious. “What is it?” he asked.

Joshua handed him a file. “Someone hacked into our system and stole some confidential information,” he explained.

Seungcheol groaned it was the second time it had happened.

His eyes narrowed as he flipped through the file. “Any idea who it was?” he asked.

Joshua shook his head. “No, but they're good. We've been trying to figure out who they are, but so far, we haven't had any luck.”

Seungcheol leaned back in his chair, frowning. “This isn’t good,” he said.

“We can’t have someone messing with our operations like this. We need to find out who they are and shut them down.”

Joshua nodded. “I’ve already got guys working on it. But I thought you’d want to know.”

“Thanks,” Seungcheol said, still scanning through the file. “Keep me updated.”

Joshua nodded and then left the office. Once he was gone, Seungcheol leaned back in his chair, lost in thought. He had to find out who was behind this and put a stop to it before it caused any more damage to his organization.

As he continued going through the file, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

He couldn't shake off the feeling that whoever had hacked into their system was no ordinary hacker. There was something about the way they had bypassed all their security measures that made him uneasy, like they had some sort of inside knowledge.

He got up from his desk and started pacing around the office, still trying to piece it all together. He knew he couldn't rule out the possibility that it could be an inside job, but he also couldn't dismiss the idea that it could be a competitor trying to get an edge.

He clenched his jaw in frustration. The uncertainty was eating away at him. He hated not knowing who he was up against.

The telecom in his office rang cutting off from his thoughts. Seungcheol crossed the room and picked up the phone from his desk. “Yes?” he said, his tone restless.

“We have a problem,” Mingyu’s voice came through the line, his tone serious.

Seungcheol’s eyes narrowed. “What is it?” he asked, immediately sensing that it was something important.

“We’ve got a situation at the warehouse,” Mingyu explained. “There’s someone there that shouldn't be there.”

Seungcheol’s heart rate picked up. “Who?” he asked urgently.

"We don't know cause that person image isn't showing in the CCTV footage anymore." Mingyu spoke with frustration, something aggressive typing was heard from the background.

Seungcheol let out a curse under his breath. “How the hell did they get in there without being detected?” he asked, his mind racing.

“We don't know,” Mingyu replied, frustration evident in his voice. “But they're smart. They knew exactly where to avoid the cameras. And they're skilled. They managed to bypass all the locks on the doors and windows without leaving any trace.”

Seungcheol clenched his jaw. This was bad.

If someone had managed to break into their warehouse undetected, they could have stolen who knows what kind of sensitive information or supplies. He couldn’t afford for that to happen.
