Chapter 106
Gof patted down his wrinkled shirt, then snapped coldly, “I’m not his bodyguard, Joey! I don’t have time to keep tabs on him! Go look for him yourself!”
Joey violently punched Gof in the chest and shrieked, “I can’t reach his phone, and I can ‘t find him! His bodyguard doesn’t know where he is either! Stop pretending! You installed that signal blocker on purpose! This is all part of your crazy plan!”
Gof clasped a hand over her mouth and he flung her over his shoulder with the other.
“Listen to me, Joey! I have to lock you in your room for now. You won’t suffer again after tonight!”
Back in the banquet hall, Taehyung shot to his feet.
The uneasiness in his heart rose as he took in the unfamiliar faces around him.
He pulled out his phone and noticed Jungkook's missed calls and text message which read: (Look for me when you see this! I’ll be in the banquet hall!]
Tae was in the banquet hall, but where was Jungkook?
He tried calling him, but his call was immediately rejected.
Was the south wing not the only place with no signal?
With his suspicions rising, he walked out of the banquet hall to see a tall figure in black approaching him in a hurry.
“Did you see the boss?!” cried Jungkook's bodyguard with panic written all over his face.
“No! Isn’t he with you?!” Taehyung asked as his chest tightened and paranoid thoughts filled his mind. “I tried calling but I couldn’t reach him. There’s no signal here!”
“I bet Gof Jung used a signal blocker! I don’t know where the boss went. I didn’t even notice he was gone until Miss Joey ran over to ask me where he was!”
Taehyung clenched his fists tightly as he recalled the dark expression on Joey's face when she had approached Gof.
“Gif… I’m going to look for Gof!” Taehyung stammered.
“I’ll go with you!”
When they arrived at the south wing of the villa, Jungkook's bodyguard charged toward one of Jung's guards and grabbed his throat.
“Where is Gof Jung?! Take me to him!”
Taehyung immediately shoved the bodyguard aside and said, “How is he supposed to talk with you strangling him?!”
The bodyguard coughed violently and gasped, “How would I know where Mr. Jung is? I’m just in charge of guarding the south wing… I don’t know anything…”
“Did you see Jeon Jungkook come by, then?” Taehyung pried.
He felt a strong sense of foreboding in his heart.
Jungkook had tried calling him all afternoon and even sent him a text. He had been waiting for him the whole time.
He must have known where he was and came looking for him.
Noticing the change in the bodyguard’s expression, Jungkook's bodyguard kicked him to the ground and roared, “Where is my boss?!
I’m running out of patience. You have three seconds! Three… two…”
“He went up the hill!” cried the bodyguard as he pointed toward the dark outdoors. “He went that way!”
“F*ck! Why would he go up there? As if he’d run out in the dark!” yelled Jungkook's bodyguard as he planted his foot on the guard’s head. “Spit it out! F*cking tell me!”
Taehyung's heart was thumping wildly in his chest and his eyes were brimming with tears.
It had not been long since Jungkook stopped using his wheelchair.
He was in no shape to hike up that hill, especially not in pitch darkness. “He… He went up… To look for… Miss Kim,” stammered the Jung guard before passing out.
