You're Fired !

After being ambushed during dinner, Jimin no longer had to look at Lisa with pleasing or hopeful eyes. Almost from the next day, he avoided Lisa like the plague, even willing to take detours if she was around. It can be seen how deep the psychological shadow caused by that dinner was on him.

However, Lisa didn’t have the time to worry about Jimin’s impression of her. She was completely immersed in the headache of the Taemu case. Now that the evidence collection at the hot pot restaurant was obstructed, where could she find the missing clues?

Although Jungkook told her not to worry and that he would do his best to follow up, and Lisa believed that with Jungkook’s ability, even if she did nothing, he could find the key evidence to turn the case around before the deadline. It’s just…

Just unwilling.

Unwilling to just lie down and accept defeat, unwilling to completely let go and take a risk, unwilling to depend on Jungkook.

Apart from normal rest time,Lisa almost immersed her entire being into the case. What did she miss before? She tried to comb through everything from beginning to end, afraid that her previous thinking patterns had caused a miss in the screening of crucial information.

Since Taemu is developing a competitive game for Kim Jowoon and game development is not something that can be done alone but requires teamwork, Taemu is hindered by a non-compete agreement and cannot attend meetings with the team at Mercury Network. Given that other employees at Mercury Network haven’t even met Taemu in person, it can be inferred that Taemu hasn’t even had a video conference with other members of the game development team. It’s understandable, as once Taemu’s appearance is exposed, everyone in the game development circle knows each other, and Mercury Network employees are not stupid. They will make connections and eventually, the truth will come out.

Therefore, Taemu hasn’t taken this risk. However, as an important member of the game design team, he still needs to communicate with the company. Therefore, the person in charge of this communication is most likely Jowoon himself.

But…

Before this, apart from checking Taemu’s bank statement, Lisa also looked for his call records with Jowoon, but couldn’t find anything suspicious. So how did Taemu communicate with Jowoon? Did they rely on video calls through some network software?

In game development, in addition to oral communication of ideas, many times, they also need to run programs, and game software has prototypes and trial versions. Taemu’s job is to test the smoothness and user experience of the game after it is launched, so he needs to run the game software.

Speaking of Taemu’s cautious personality, he doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would trust someone to send game software versions via email, because once targeted Trojan horses and virus software are implanted in an email, all communication records may be completely exposed.

As for game software and some confidential information, let alone Taemu’s unwillingness to receive them via email, even Jowoon would not risk using email to send them because once there is a leak, someone else may get ahead of them and cause fatal damage to the game’s launch, just like what happened with Mercury Network.

But if Taemu doesn’t go to Mercury Network and doesn’t use email, then the trial version of the game software must be transmitted using a USB flash drive or some other carrier. And this USB flash drive or carrier involves a huge amount of commercial value. Jowoon is determined not to deliver it by express delivery, so there is only one way left–to find someone to deliver it in person.

However, as Lisa previously analyzed, both Taemu and Jowoon are very cautious people, and it is highly likely that they will adopt a face-to-face delivery method and personally communicate. After all, the modification and updating of the game software version are not as frequent as money, which may only need Jowoon to give the USB flash drive to Taemu once every six months. Even if the two meet, the risk is not that great, and it is more troublesome to have someone else do it.
