But W Continues...

Chapter 17: Curiosity killed the cat

Jae Sang's POV

Yeon Na has said that she had decided to stop her investigation because the culprit threatened her over the phone. It really upset me. She had worked so hard out of the 3 of us and she had pulled all nighters. We are actually close but she is giving it up because she is scared for our safety? I know how much this investigation means to her so I could not just let that happen. That's when I decided to have my own little investigation.

I had found out that Im Byung Hoon used to do business with my father so he should have some information about him which may be able to help us see if he is linked to anyone. I had overheard some employees at father's workplace that Byung Hoon had done something illegal but it was a rumor. I cannot just ask father to give me information about him since we are not at that level of father-son relationship and I hope we never are so I just have to get it myself from his office. Secretary Park had said that he had a meeting in the afternoon so I had decided to get in during then.

I told Secretary Park that I urgently needed to see my father so he allowed me to stay in his office while waiting for him. I had already been discharged from the hospital so I headed straight to father's workplace after school. The plan was that I find the documents and leave immediately before he actually gets back into the office and I would have to actually have to give a reason why I needed to see him urgently so I had to make it quick.

I sat on the leather sofa as I waited for Secretary park to leave the office before getting up to secretly lock the door before I went to search for the document. It was just in case anyone comes in while I am halfway through searching the office. It would buy me time to clear the scene of me searching through the office. So now I was carefully rummaging through his folders looking for staff information or business partner information but to no avail.

Then, I remembered from when I was younger, father always had this drawer that he locked up; never letting anyone open it without his permission so there's a possibility that it was in there since Byung Hoon may have a record of doing something illegal. I looked at the many drawers and found the locked one. I tried looking for the key with little efforts because I had a feeling that it would take too much time as compared to me forcing it open so I took a pen knife from the table and tried to break open the drawer. I slotted the pen knife through the tiny gap between the drawer, trying to push in and mess around with it to open it and to my surprise, it actually worked.

I wiped the sweat from my forehead as I forcefully pulled out the drawer falling to my ass. I caught my breath before I scoured through the many folders and paper. Then, I came upon a folder labeled 'Yeon Joo's Case'. I furrowed my brows in confusion as I opened and decided to read. I knew that I was running out of time but I was dying with curiosity and confusion.

"Im Byung Hoon illegally embezzled funds. H&C Corporations overlooks his crimes in exchange that he takes blame for car accident. Victim Oh Yeon Joo, cardiac doctor."

That was what was written on the heading. I carried on reading as fear took over. Father did not, right? It's not him, right?

"Oh Yeon Joo, doctor in charge of Baek Ri Na." mum?

As I was about to carry on reading when the office door slammed opened loudly. I was so engrossed in reading the document that I did not even hear someome struggling to open the door and banging at the door. There entered Choi Ho Chul, CEO of H&C Corporations. Husband of the late Baek Ri Na. Father of Jae Hwa, Jae Rin and Jae Sang. He stormed towards me snatching the document from my hands. I sat there stunted by what I had read. I looked up at him with a blank face murmuring, "It's not what I think right?"
