Saving the Assassin

Chapter 5: Bother

"Ma'am, I would like to go straight to the point. Were you there at the award's night of you husband?" Luhan starts the interrogation.

"No. He said we'd celebrate the morning after it. But turns out he died." Mrs. Seo answered whilst staring at nothing in particular. She felt so lost.

"Any knowledge of who might be holding grudges against him?"

"My husband is a good man." She faced Luhan and he somehow freaked out with the sudden sharp eye contact made making him glance back at the papers Sehun was holding. He was recording it for details.

"Then may you enumerate some of his good friends in business ma'am?"

"He really had good business friends. They were as well bestfriends since highschool I think. They always had a little reunion twice a month. It's Chang Ji Mo and Wang Bae Jun." She once again explained spacing out.

"How about your daughters? Do anyone of them have bad relationship with him?"

"My daughters would never have. He loves our daughters so much. And same as them."

"That's all ma'am. Thank you for your time. Please bear with us if ever we come back." Luhan and Sehun bowed politely.

"Yes... and please... do everything..." Mrs. Seo pleaded in the verge of tears.

"We will ma'am." They bowed once more.

They immediately headed to the headquarters to do some research.

"Sehun, tomorrow we'll work as a team with TaoRis duo. We're gonna meet up with those dudes seperately. It would be a good strategy if any of them is the culprit."

"Sure hyung." The younger nodded whilst driving.

After arriving at the quarters, they notified the chief for the actions they were going to take.

"Okay. Just be sure not to be reckless. And Luhan, don't overwork yourself. We can't afford you getting sick." Chief Park said whilst reading the interrogation papers Sehun gave.

"Here. One box takes all the stress away." Chief secretary, Byun, threw a box of pocky that Luhan catches with one hand. One of his rebellious brows twitched.

Wow. Never thought he had a childish side.

He smiled at the puppy-eyed assistant. "Thanks."

"Go now. Time is running." Chanyeol shooes them away jerking his head towards the door direction.

After what happened last night in Infinity Cafe, Kai was interested, or rather, impressed at Jae Mi. But not in a special way. Him, being helplessly impressed, felt pestered about it so he took a call. It might take away the splinter-like thought that's bothering him. He really felt annoyed with the sudden feeling.

"Yes hello?" The man on the other line said.

"Is this Infinity Cafe's owner?"

"Yes. Why sir?"

With that, Kai smirked. He planned on getting Jae Mi fired for his little revenge. It was little for him. After spilling his complaints, the owner decided to listen to his precious customer.

"Yes sir. I understand. It won't happen again." Kai then hung up. He couldn't wait to see Jae Mi's face later tonight.

Time passed vigorously and he already walked his way to Infinity Cafe and ordered the usual as he waited for the epic scene.

7:30 pm came and a neat-looking middle-aged man went inside the cafe.

"Oh? Owner! Good evening! What a way to visit. You should've told us Sir!" Suho welcomed.
