The Law of Webnovels - Chapter 267

Chapter 267: Chapter 267

.

The reason why Kang Mino couldn’t do that was because of Yi Jenny’s order. She was the chairperson of the international security company Reed Enterprise as well as the boss of Kang Mino. Her son Yi Ruda had been running away from home for a long time; she had almost managed to catch him.

That Yi Ruda, however, suddenly appeared in front of Kang Mino like a ghost and snatched his cell phone. Kang Mino was, therefore, frightened to death. Due to that event concerning the phone, Choi Yuri had to transfer to another school. Since she also committed something wrong, Choi Yuri could not fire Kang Mino fairly and openly, so the incident was buried in oblivion.

That was precisely when Yi Jenny began to get interested in Choi Yuri and the reason why Kang Mino couldn’t easily quit this job.

He checked his watch. It had been a while since the slight vibration started to sound in the specially designed watch. Walking through the desolate woods for quite some time, he then finally put up his watch next to his ear and pressed the button.

With a beep, a voice came over the device.

[Why are you answering so late?]

“I’ve been by Miss Choi’s side all along.”

[Turn on the GPS.]

“Excuse me?”

Kang Mino felt perplexed for a second but soon turned on the GPS wordlessly. His boss was the type of person who explained her plans concisely. Now his location would be sent to Yi Jenny.

He did what he was told to; however, Kang Mino was still wondering about what Yi Jenny would do upon learning about the location of this warehouse.

After many considerations, he released a small whoop.

“Um, may I ask you something?”

[What?]

“Did you have a deal with Hanwool Group?”

He then heard a scoff over the phone. Yi Jenny replied as if she felt ridiculed.

[No, do you think they’ll leave me alone if they knew that I was already aware of this? That will just cause more trouble.”

“Then, for what reason are you…?”

[There’s only one person whom I’m providing this information to. It’s an individual who doesn’t belong to any organization.]

“An individual?”

Frowning for a moment, Kang Mino flung another question.

“Where on earth is the individual client using this information when he or she can’t even come here alone to save them? Is this also for trading with Hanwool Group? What if the person gets interrogated about the source of the information and discloses us? That will really cause a problem then.”

Kang Mino expressed his reasonable doubt on the order he had been given from her. Still, Yi Jenny just smiled without saying anything.

His brows met in the middle, but he soon shook his head. Yi Jenny would have definitely considered this situation when she was doing her business; besides, she was his boss. There was no need for her to explain everything to him.

That was when he heard her following words.

[Sort it out and get out of there.]

Turning stiff for a second, Kang Mino then barely answered back.

“Pardon?”

[I told you to sort it out and get out of there ASAP if you don’t want to be knocked out and found by the police tomorrow morning.]

“Boss.”

Kang Mino, at last, couldn’t help but throw the question.

“Please, what are you planning to do?”

[I just made a satisfactory deal. That’s all.]

RA-TATATA–– At that very moment, he heard something like a faint and continuous gunfire sound over his head from far away. Kang Mino raised his head.

It was just over five in the morning. The time, when sunlight was spreading dimly over the dark blue horizon, Kang Mino saw a large black object floating in the air. As it came into his view, Kang Mino’s jaw dropped on the floor.

What came out from Yi Jenny’s mouth then made his eyes open wide. Kang Mino asked back stutteringly.

“What did you say? Who’s coming?”

[Don’t make me say it twice.]

He then lost radio contact. Dropping his gaze at the watch that just lost communication with her, Kang Mino murmured with a stiff face.

“Did she adopt another new son before I knew?”

The approaching aircraft’s wind blew his hair hard.

Article 24. Aren’t Female Protagonists Always Getting Kidnapped? (Part 3)

After the phone call, Choi Yuri still left us kneeling on the bare floor while she took a chair from somewhere and sat down even with a blanket on it.

Dropping her gaze at us with her legs crossed and chin up, she looked confident. From her attitude, I could tell that the negotiations with Eun Jiho seemed to have ended successfully.

What was now left for her would be how to treat Eun Jiho, who might come here alone; therefore, she could certainly look like that satisfied.

However, I couldn’t help but sigh.

Well, it was quite ridiculous to think about such a thing while kneeling on the cold warehouse floor with my hands tied behind my back for hours. Still, Choi Yuri looked pathetic to me.

Did she even know what the hell she’s doing right now?

This was a severe crime. Choi Yuri, however, acted like she didn’t know as to the consequence this happening would bring to her life.

Let’s say meeting Eun Jiho was what she wanted, but what would happen next? Even if she tried to run away with him in the name of one-sided love, how long did she think the situation could last?

Long story short, it was a short-term plan with no vision. Not only just short-sighted, but it was also absurd.

Back then, when I saw her in school, I knew that Choi Yuri was not a fool like this. This was the point that caused the greatest sense of incompatibility.

Yes, when considering her elaborate schemes and the way she manipulated public opinion to harass me, Choi Yuri was never so stupid to not see the future because of her immediate desire. She was rather clever and cunning enough to control the situations.

That being said, who the hell made her commit such a crime while being thoughtless like this? Thinking about it, there was one possibility that lingered in my head.

A weird flow in web novels… a current that pushes characters to stand on the edge of a precipice improbably might have led me in a situation where I would be hit by a truck right in front of Eun Hyung and led Ban Yeo Ryung to a kidnapping situation. Wouldn’t it be fair to assume that the flow had taken the ‘rationality’ away from Choi Yuri right now?

I glanced at Choi Yuri nervously. No matter how hard I thought about it, there was only one reason why Choi Yuri was acting so improbable.

In that case, Choi Yuri might ruin the rest of her life due to that preposterous flow. If she was in her right mind, she would have never done a thing like this; however, Choi Yuri was behaving insanely as if she had been possessed.

Once someone was branded as a criminal, her life in the future wouldn’t be stellar. Having that thought in mind, a chilling sensation enveloped my body. I slightly trembled while thinking about how thankful I was that I was not playing the villain role in this world. If I did, I couldn’t guarantee that it would not be me who would be in that position instead of Choi Yuri.

At that same time, I, however, thought about something else. Although Choi Yuri was a little mean, wasn’t it excessive for her to ruin the rest of her life through that flow? Couldn’t I then change something by quietly persuading her from an outsider point of view?

With that thought, I carefully observed her and searched for a chance to talk to her.

As if she achieved all her goals by kidnapping us, Choi Yuri was doing her nails alone or touching the phone that she had just used to call Eun Jiho. Other than that, she didn’t even care about us at all.

‘If that continues, she won’t even listen to me no matter what I say; however, it still would be worth a shot,’ I thought.

Moving my lips for quite a while, I, at last, tried to open my mouth.

I then heard a quiet voice coming beside me.

“I want to go to the bathroom.”

It was Ban Yeo Ryung. She looked composed, but her furrowed brows showed that she was now a little intolerable.

Choi Yuri then showed an agonizing expression but soon called the Four Symbols, who were chit chatting in the corner like kids on a picnic.
