The devils sweetheart || Taennie Adaptation [Book 2]

Chapter 215 - Meet me at the cafe

Jin was flabbergasted by the news. His face flushed in rage. He is not going to approve of this relationship. Kai's mother is of evil grain and Jennie will have to live in a toxic environment in case if their relationship further progresses and he has to stop before that. "When did it happen?"

"Two months ago." Replied Irene in a whisper.

"And you haven't thought of informing me once?" His voice rose hysterically. Kai might be his friend but he doesn't have trust in him and if he was concerned about Jennie, by now he should have known about Jennie's scandal and come to her aid. All of a sudden, he remembered bruises on Jennie's face he observed while he was carrying her to the bed. "Why does she have bruises on her face?"

Irene hesitantly explained the things that happened two nights back, Kai trying to assault her when they were not in the home. Irene could sense Jin's body shaking in a rage with each passing second.

"How much she endured?" Jin slumped into the chair. Leaning forward, he placed his head in his hands and choked up.

"I will go and see her." Jin strolled into Jennie's room again. He traced the bruise near her ear gently, involuntarily, Jennie flinched and dozed off when he patted her head. "I couldn't protect you, little heart. I am sorry." He whispered. "I will not let that bastard near you."

He pulled the blanket up to her chin and closed the door while he left her room. Just when he entered the living room, Jimin arrived. "The pictures are taken down from all the forms and sites and I made sure to double-check it."

"Thanks, Jim."

"Are you going to inform_"

"No." Jin cut him off in the middle. "I will deal with it." Francis's heart would shatter if he knows about it. It was a good thing that he went on a business trip to Germany.

"What about the pictures, Jin?" Irene asked. "Someone is targeting her deliberately." She had an inkling it is of Krystal but at the same time, she wondered if her brain is capable of plotting without any catastrophes.

"I will look into it," Jin said. There is nothing we cannot find through hacking in today's world.

"It's not easy, Jin." Jimin started.

"Why?"

"It is the work of a shadowy AI service. It is an artificial intelligent black service. They are making fantasy into a reality transforming women's photos into fake n.a.k.e.d and they call it deepfakes." Jimin explained.

"So?"

"The requests are accepted through a chatbot. It's hard to search for the person behind it. The person targeting Jennie must have picked her pictures somewhere from social media. In today's era, finding anyone's face is pretty simple. Deepfakes analyzes every pixel in Jennie's photo and it will be replaced by the pixels of another woman or man.

So, in each picture of Jennie, the computer has generated new pixels I.e of another man/woman's picture would be generated. When it runs a series of algorithms, it recreates the pictures. It's not an easy task because it takes a lot of iterations to get the perfect picture. Someone must have thrown a hefty sum of money to make it."

"It's hard for the hacker to locate. " Jimin said. "Jennie must be knowing about it. Perhaps, she can _"

" Are you kidding?" Jin shouted. "Have you seen her state? She is not even recognizing me properly. No one is going to talk about it in front of her. We will take care of this matter."

"Okay."

"I have some urgent work. I will be back in a while. Take care of Jennie." Jin informed and left the place.
