ShaWn had already spread the word about Lisa and Jiyong's version of events online, using the Black Stars to fuel the fire to make it spread even further. In fact, all ShaWn members signed up as Black Stars members after being repeatedly pestered by Luka. They joined the Slippers Army as per Luka's forceful suggestion. Their addition to the notorious troll unit made the Slippers Army even more despicable but also more efficient and a total nightmare to anyone who still dared to bash Jennie Kim online.
With ShaWn supercharging the entire Black Stars, almost every netizen in the country became aware of what Diana Young did to Lisa tonight. The media swarmed outside the hotel in no time to confirm whether the details being circulated online were true or merely rumours.
"Yes, it's true that Diana, that evil madwoman, schemed against President Manoban tonight, planning to violate him," a furious Bam ranted in front of the reporters. His eyes were bloodshot as if he was Lisa's aggrieved wife and not Jennie Kim. "What kind of woman does that immoral thing to a married man?! It's a good thing, no, an absolutely blessed thing, that President managed to wake up and defend himself before it was too late!"
"Did CEO Manoban really escape before Diana laid her hands on him?" a reporter asked all of a sudden. "Perhaps...something already happened and—"
"What's your name and which media company sent you?" Lisa asked, his tone cold and threatening. "You'll hear from my lawyer for slander."
Without waiting for the reporter's response or that of the others, Lisa urged his bodyguards to lead him out of the crowd faster with one silent look. Now that his purpose of showing off his injuries to the media was fulfilled, he didn't want to stay with these vultures any longer.
He wanted, no, he needed to find his wife and make sure that she was alright as soon as possible. Not hearing anything about her and their AI children was worrying him to no end.

Jiyong watched a handcuffed Diana like a hawk as the police escorted the nympho into a waiting police car. She was now wearing a plain outfit of jeans and a light coat that didn't do anything to protect her from the cold. The clothes looked new but far from the stylish and expensive outfit that she wore earlier. Her clothes were left in the crime scene and collected as part of the investigation. Hence, the police provided her with regular clothes bought from a nearby department store.
Diana shivered from the cold while camera flashes and the reporters' shouted questions rained down on her. Her shoulders were slumped, making her look smaller and frail, as if she was a little lamb being led to slaughter. If nobody knew what kind of immoral thing she did tonight, they would certainly pity her based on her current miserable appearance.
She didn't answer any questions the reporters threw at her and just looked down with a blank expression. The officers holding her on both sides were the female and male partners who interrogated her earlier. The kind smile was now gone from the female officer's face, replaced by the same stern expression on his male partner.
Leading them was the Chief of Police who stopped in front of the reporters to give a succinct summary of the case so far and even answered a couple of questions before leaving with the rest of the police to the nearest station.
"Nab Diana Young on the road," Jiyong ordered his subordinates through their earpiece channel. "Make it look like she was rescued by her family. We'll drag the entire Youngs down with her."
"Roger, Boss!"
Jiyong narrowed his eyes as the reporters followed the police cars, creating some sort of a grand motorcade. He couldn't help but curse that the situation became much more difficult for Shadow Winds to complete tonight's mission.
It was the fault of the Chief of Police! His unexpected arrival at the hotel tonight meant more media attention and closer scrutiny in the case so soon.
Some of the police dogs and their handlers remained at the hotel to patrol with the other regular officers under the order of their Police Chief. Despite Jiyong's irritation at the man for forcing him to change the details of tonight's plan, making it harder for all of them, Jiyong still admitted that the Chief indeed deserved his title as the police force's leader.
The man was thorough, careful, and obviously prepared for possible unforeseen developments in cases in which he was in charge. Bringing police dogs to a case of this nature wasn't common but it was obviously the Chief of Police's idea. He should have a strong intuition and this made the Chief of Police a difficult man to deal with, Jiyong judged.
"Be alert for possible unmarked police reinforcements along the way," He reminded his subordinates.
The police station was only about ten minutes away by car. Since Diana was being escorted in what was basically a police motorcade, civilian vehicles were giving way to the police cars, so they could arrive sooner than ten minutes.
Time was of the essence.
Jiyong knew that it would be many times harder for Shadow Winds to take Diana once she entered the police station especially under the nose of the Chief of Police. At least, if they snatched her on the road, they would have more options to deal with the police than if they did it in the police's own territory.
"Boss, we have Minnie, Diana's male cousin named Luke, and an additional male," a subordinate reported to Jiyong.
"Bring them to our headquarters."
"Roger, Boss!"
"Are they awake?"
"No, boss. We made them unconscious."
"Good. How about the other accomplices?"
"They escaped using a van but another team is already on their tail." The subordinate paused. "Boss, someone blocked the team chasing after the accomplices. They're being rescued!"
