The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor

Ch 195+196

Ch 195:

Yoo Yeon-seo stopped by Lee Tae-kyum's hospital room and, before heading to where Min Seong-cheol was being held, visited the old residence of Min Seong-cheol and the former lodging of One-Seven. It seemed Baek Seo-jun had been there earlier as a yellow police tape was strung up.

It's been a while.

Did seven people really live in this cramped house? It was shabby, but it had its own memories. Min Seong-cheol ruined it all.

Yoo Yeon-seo entered the house and surveyed the living room and kitchen. It felt lived-in, indicating they had been here for quite some time. He then headed towards the bedroom. The space, once filled with bunk bed's, was now completely...

"You crazy bastard..."

It was filled with photos of Lee Hee-seo and Yoo Yeon-seo. Yoo Yeon-seo cleared his throat quietly and stood before a corkboard that covered an entire wall.

He's been investigating for quite some time.

From street photos taken during Yoo Yeon-seo's debut to the most recent location of the "Abusive Murder" shoot. The street where he did a guerrilla date for the promotion of "Snake," with Yoo Yeon-seo's face visible among the crowd. Even a hat worn on a day disguised as a crew member.

Seems like he's not doing much work...

How does he manage to make a living? Yoo Yeon-seo searched every corner of the house. Thanks to his 'insight,' he found hidden items wherever he looked.

Is this the reward?

An old bankbook revealed a balance of money that Min Seong-cheol could never have earned in his lifetime.

...I guess it's time to dig into Min Seong-cheol.

There wasn't anything that could be considered evidence. He might have it, though. He left the old residence.

With decades of obsession connecting Lee Hee-seo and Yoo Yeon-seo, could Min Seong-cheol really have been unaware that Lee Tae-kyum and Lim Seung-hyeon were watching him? How many years of stalking experience does he have? He probably knows.

Min Seong-cheol intentionally revealed himself and let himself be tracked. Escaping by car might be a whim. In any case, he was easily caught but likely won't open up easily.

I need to understand that bastard's thoughts.

No, I need to become Min Seong-cheol himself. That way, I'll know what he wants. Yoo Yeon-seo instinctively started thinking of Min Seong-cheol as a role in his work and decided to analyze him.

Min Seong-cheol had obsessively followed Lee Hee-seo since her group activities. He had frequented the police station so many times it was hard to count. According to a staff member from that time, he was firmly convinced that he and Lee Hee-seo were in a romantic relationship.

Min Seong-cheol felt betrayed by Lee Hee-seo, who denied him, but he probably didn't have negative feelings until then. He couldn't live without seeing her. He must have thought if he worked hard, Lee Hee-seo would come back to him.

The narrator shifts from 'self' to 'I.' The immersion in the role of Min Seong-cheol deepens.

But you're not going to marry another man and leave me.

Yoo Yeon-seo clenched his fists. Someone he thought would be entirely his abandoned him.

Moreover, Chairman Yoo's mansion was heavily guarded, and Lee Hee-seo had left the entertainment industry right after her marriage.
