"...This is IHTC we are talking about, we both know what they worth. Sorry I can't do that." Jin Beom-Seok replied followed by an creepy chuckle.
Kim Hyun-Jun walked towards the desk Jin Beom-Seok sat behind. He rested his two hands on the table and leaned in to position himself right before Jin Beom-Seok's face. He so much wanted to yell at the man, shout at him, threaten him and warn the old man, ' that boy is my son, nothing must happen to him.' but he couldn't voice his words. He glanced away from Jin Beom-Seok, to think of a lie.
"Uncle, I don't care about that deal. It will be mine either ways because I am planning a merger with that company. If they get it or not, it doesn't matter, it's going to be in KimJin's favour in the end. Think of all the wealth we will acquire from the merger. Attacking them is just like selling the goose that lays the golden egg. We have to make peace with Min Corporation if the merger will work." Kim Hyun-Jun lied. What excuse would he not give just to make Jin Beom-Seok get his hands off Yo-Han.
This excuse is actually believable right?, He will definitely fall for it.
Contrary to Kim Hyun-Jun's expectations Jin Beom-Seok laughed and said, "It does not matter. Jin Beom-Seok did this, it has nothing to do with KimJin. They will never suspect the relationship between the two families, no one will... Carry on with the merger, and I will carry on doing what I do best, pulling people down for KimJin's sake. Hehehehehe." As if dispersing smoke, Jin Beom-Seok waved off the topic with his hand gesture leaving Kim Hyun-Jun to sigh helplessly.
Kim Hyun-Jun sighed continually at abnormal rates. ' This boy is my son, I have already told him about the Jin family. He definitely knows about this. No wonder Min Ju-Eun called, she is really pissed. I have to get this boy out on my own.' he thought. He took one glance at Jin Beom-Seok before leaving.
The moment he entered his vehicle, he said to the secretary seating beside him. "Put a call through to the chief of the precinct where Min Corporation's CEO is held in, I have a few words to say to him."
"Right away." Secretary Joe said and immediately dialed the phone number.

Na-Gil and Bae Jang-Mi sat in a cafe near the police station, waiting for the coffee and snacks they ordered. They couldn't go to a proper restaurant to eat their dinner while Yo-Han is there in jail, probably rejecting whatever meal they offered him.
The two remained worried so much after having gone helterskelter trying to find a way to get Yo-han out of jail. At least they did all they could before Ms Chang his lawyer arrived. Even with her arrival, they still couldn't get him out. The police claimed that it's a serious crime. They charged him for trafficking and using Narcotics and even had him tested. In any moment the results will be released. If one ounce of narcotics is found in Yo-Han's body then he will be transferred to prison. How would Na-Gil and Bae Jang-Mi not worry?
There was awkward silence as Na-Gil was lost in his thoughts and Bae Jang-Mi sat there feeling uneasy.
Bae Jang-Mi cleared her throat and faced Na-Gil before asking, " Mr Sung, do you think CEO really committed the offence?, I know I should trust him but I don't know if he really is innocent, I am just curious."
"Umph" Na-Gil scoffed before replying in words. "Young Master Han hates three things. Bribery, Gambling and Doping, these three, he will never get close to any of them..."
Bae Jang-Mi interrupted Na-Gil."Did you say gambling?, We did that yesterday..." She did not finish her statement before Na-Gil continued his explanation.
"That's why he must not find out about yesterday. Whenever that comes up, he only has to know that we went for a walk, okay?", She nodded and he continued, " Mnnn hmm, in high school Young Master Han once caused the expulsion of a school bully who used dope on a student. He also ruined the Ong family madam who was a drug baroness, she was my uncle's mistress. The woman is still in prison till today. I am so sure that CEO Park is innocent. I know him more than anyone else." Na-Gil explained. His facial expression showed his certainty. He must trust Yo-han so much.
Isn't he a great man?, "Mr Sung, I like the way you trust. It's one of the things every woman wants in a man, someone who trust them wholeheartedly. That's a premium feature, only few women get the chance to have such a man. I don't know why but I try to trust CEO Park, I just can't fully trust him, but unlike him, I think you are trustworthy." Bae Jang-Mi complimented. She completely forgot her weariness about Yo-Han's arrest and she brightened up. Her eyes shone with admiration for Na-Gil. She just seem to adore him in every way.
Na-Gil also became lively from Bae Jang-Mi's amusement which seems to be contagious. A smile crept up his face and before he knew it, he engaged in flirty conversation with Bae Jang-Mi.
"You jerk!!!, Here you are flirting when I was decaying in that freaking jail." Yo-Han's voice interrupted the conversation causing the two to jolt back in utmost surprise. " Master Han!!!, You got out?" Na-Gil and Bae Jang-Mi asked in unison, they were utterly surprised.
"Hey, Don't you want me to get out?" Yo-han frowned at the two of them questioningly.
"No, no, I'm just surprised, you should have called me to pick you up, how did you know we are here?" Na-Gil asked and then he noticed Ms Chang standing behind Yo-Han. " Ms Chang well done, you did well."
Ms Chang immediately rejected, it's not hers to take the credit therefore she explained. "I did nothing, CEO Park was released because of another order from some big figure and we don't even known who it is." Ms Chang replied and took a seat after Yo-han settled on a chair.
"Ms Chang it's CEO Kim who gave that order, it's easy to understand." Yo-han said.
The person waiting on Na-Gil and Bae Jang-Mi came back with their coffee and snacks and after taking Yo-han and Ms Chang's order, she returned to prepare the order.
Na-Gil took a sip of the before directing his question to Yo-Han. "You told me to make that call because of this right?"
"No. The real deal is yet to come just watch." This topic, both Ms Chang and Bae Jang-Mi had no clue whatsoever therefore they didn't understand what the two men were saying.
"Well, whatever it is that is your real intention, I don't know but am glad you successfully managed to get them to order your release." Na-Gil replied and chuckled happily.
"What happened to the deal with IHTC, what is the situation?" Yo-han questioned but he felt disappointed when Na-Gil shook his head in response. "Reschedule with CEO Yi, this would be our last chance." He sighed and stood on his feet. " I think I will call it a day here. See you all tomorrow." With that he left the cafe and headed for the hotel.

"STUPID BRAT!!!, How dare he go behind my back to set my prisoner free!. Kim Hyun-Jun what are you hiding from me?, That call in the afternoon, something is off about it. Should I fish it out or let it go?, I am curious and angry at the same time." Jin Beom-Seok pick up his phone and said some words to the person on the other line.

Yo-Han was about to get into the car packed in front of the cafe opposite the police station, when a number of men in black–with red bandanas embroidered with a tiger tied to their arms– surrounded him.
Before he knew how to react, he had already breathed in the chloroform in the white cloth that covered his nose.
Slowly, his senses left him and blackness replaced his sight. He was totally and completely unconscious, having no clue of what is yet to befall him.
