Chapter 67 – Pandora’s Box
Heartache goes
But I couldn’t be sure.
I couldn’t figure out how to figure this out.
Choi Joo-ri misunderstood it when I was making a worried face and said,
“Sorry. I say all the stars. Just forget everything we talked about today. I don’t want to be uncomfortable with you. Can you please?”
Choi Ju-ri’s expression looked desperate.
She didn’t say we shouldn’t see each other again.
Rather, it would be more natural to do so.
Because I know who her husband is.
She had to be careful enough to set her meeting place at a deliberately quiet restaurant when meeting me.
“No.”
I shook my head.
And she said it candidly.
“Weird. That Dyne said her mother had died suddenly. And… Your father’s business…”
“It’s Sunggyu!”
Choi Ju-ri was startled as if she had put her hand in a Pandora’s box that shouldn’t be opened.
“You’re not saying things like that carelessly!”
“I am speaking honestly. Do you know? It’s strange. Park Cheol-gwan must have been watching you from before. Why not? You are a woman who is attractive enough to make any man fall in love.”
“You…”
Choi Ju-ri’s eyes widened as she looked at me.
Her expression did not know if she was angry or happy.
“Whoa…”
Choi Ju-ri touched her own forehead.
“I’m not calling you my sister. Let’s go back today Can you go back alone?”
“Yes.”
She raised her body
I couldn’t stand her digging her pain.
It wasn’t a feeling of the opposite sex, but I thought I wanted to protect it.
Choi Ju-ri walked to the door without saying a word.
Then she stopped and she turned around.
She was the one who approached me in her own way.
She hugged me with a crying face.
Ten seconds to do so.
Wiping her tears with her fingers, she walked back to the door.
This time she didn’t stop, she opened the door and went outside.
I sat in my seat and listened to the sound of her shoes moving away.

“Hmm…”
Park Jeong-gyun struggled as he saw the results in front of him.
What Park Eun-ha commissioned to find out.
It wasn’t the information he got by jumping on his feet.
The guild he and Park Eun-ha belonged to was by no means a small guild in the underworld, and ranked in the top 10 in Seoul even in terms of rank.
Underground guilds buy and sell information.
In particular, large guilds constantly bought information from smaller guilds.
What Park Jeong-gyun did was to buy information related to Park Cheol-gwan from other guilds.
The online community, and the hunters in the underworld contacted him with the information if he secretly leaked what information he wanted.
‘Is this real?’
Park Jeong-gyun was a person he knew well.
No, there was no one who did not know Park Cheol-gwan to all Koreans and anyone who was even a little interested in politics.
Because he was a pretty famous ruling party politician.
He has been a figure at the core of the party for a long time, even if he is not the party leader or presidential candidate.
From his looks and remarks, he could tell that he was not a good person at all.
He must have done a lot of dirty things.
However, the information that reached him was all beyond imagination.
‘Murder like this…’
It’s like eating rice.
Of course, he didn’t do it himself.
They were all done by someone else, and they covered it up perfectly in their own way.
To do so, he inevitably went through the hunters of the underworld.
Then, the secret will not be leaked out to the sun, but in the underground world, it remains as information that can be obtained by paying money.
It wasn’t just about Park Cheol-gwan that Park Da-in asked to find out.
He also asked to find out about his wife, Choe Ju-ri.
He probably wouldn’t have come to this conclusion if he hadn’t said that.
To the conclusion that Park Cheol-gwan killed his ex-wife and also killed Choi Joo-ri’s father.
Of course, this was not direct information.
The conclusion was drawn after gathering the circumstances and side information.
‘I can’t do it.’
Park Jeong-gyun thought that he could not handle this on his own line.
It is difficult to inform Park Eun-ha too soon.
It wasn’t hard to figure out what she was thinking these days.
Man problem.
Park Jung-gyun already knew that Park Eun-ha liked a man named Choi Seong-gyu, so she was acting uncharacteristically.
I knew it, but I let it go.
Because she is Park Eun-ha, she is old enough to like someone.
She entered the underground guild early and suffered unimaginably for a person her age.
Park Jung-gyun was well aware that the reason was because of the business card he held out.
It was also one of her things because he didn’t know that he would have this much affection for her.
So, if possible, she hoped Park Eun-ha could enjoy her youth.
She didn’t know how long she could do it, but her honest heart was that she wanted to give it a full chance.
When Park Eun-ha found out about this, it was difficult to predict what she would do.
Opponent is a powerful politician.
Park Eun-ha was never someone she could control.
If this quest is related to Choi Seong-gyu…
Maybe she crossed her line, Park Eun-ha, as she did last time.
Park Jung-kyun decided to discuss this with Park Jeong-hwan, the guild leader and his own brother.

“As expected…Is it difficult?”
Choi Ju-ri looked at the report and said.
“Yes, at the moment it is difficult to achieve complete independence. Maybe she’ll make a hasty attempt and fall apart. I don’t know if there’s even one groundbreaking product…”
She said to the middle-aged woman sitting in front of her with a look that she herself would die of pity.
She was the vice president and core developer of GP, who had been in the business since the generation of Choi Ju-ri’s father.
It was also the person Choi Ju-ri depended on most in business after her father died.
“A groundbreaking product…”
“For example, if we release an item that all hunters use essentially, the situation may change. An item used not only by Korean hunters, but also by hunters all over the world. Potion or something like that. That’s why the situation is so difficult.”
‘Potion’ was a basic item used by hunters all over the world.
What Vice President Kang Mi-ra said was that unless it was such a universal item, the GP could not be independent from Park Cheol-gwan’s financial line.
The business that had been on the decline was able to flourish again because of Park Cheol-gwan’s help.
However, Choi Ju-ri began to have doubts at some point.
I wonder if all of this was a trap set by Park Cheol-gwan.
The business that was going well has gone downhill.
If the funding line was blocked and his father fell because of some kind of conspiracy he dug up…
It was a vague idea and an idea that could not be materialized.
However, after meeting Choi Seong-gyu today, he carefully brought up that idea again.
‘What am I doing listening to a 20-year-old boy…’
Choi Seong-gyu had a weight that was not typical of his age.
No matter how much he asked directly, he wondered why he had confided in him all of his innermost secrets.
‘If we had met in another place, at a different time…’
Choe Ju-ri thought about that, but she shook her head in surprise.
Choi Seong-gyu already has a girlfriend.
In addition, Shin Hye-yeon, his younger sister whom he cherished, was his girlfriend.
Besides, isn’t he already married?
Mi-ra Kang misunderstood Joo-ri Choi shaking her head and tapped her on the shoulder.
“Be patient. Then you will see the way. I will do my best to find out how.”
“Thanks sister. But don’t bother too much. You know what a scary person he is.”
“Haaa…”
Mira Kang let out a painful sigh and furrowed her brow.
She loves GP too and she wants to make her business prosper somehow.
However, when I think of the sacrifice Choi Ju-ri made for that, I was amazed.
In what era is it that a young and beautiful woman in blue is sold to a malicious politician for business reasons?
It was a sigh of relief, but it actually happened anyway.
As much as possible, I wanted to bring Choi Joo-ri out of her misfortune, even if she was harmed by Park Cheol-gwan.
Choi Ju-ri smiled at Kang Mi-ra, who was looking at her sadly.
“Don’t worry, sister. I’m fine. Anyway, business is going well. We work harder.”
“Okay.”

Today, I had a date and training with Shin Hye-yeon.
I thought there was nothing different from usual, but Shin Hye-yeon thought differently.
“What’s going on?”
“Yes?”
“You seem to be worried about something, don’t you?”
Shin Hye-yeon was also sharp.
Seeing her sincere concern for me, on the contrary, her heart melted.
“There is nothing to worry about, nothing like that.”
“If…”
“Yes?”
“If it’s okay, can we talk comfortably? Both Eunha and Juri unnie said it was strange that we used honorifics. Looking at it, it seems that way…”
Haha.”
I laughed and hugged Shin Hye-yeon’s waist.
“Yeah, it’s strange~ I’ll put it down now. Hyeyeon. Are you fine?”
“Yes…”
Shin Hye-yeon’s cheeks in her arms turned red.
I couldn’t hold back her lovely heart and kissed her on the lips.
Side.
Shin Hye-yeon was ashamed and buried her own face in her chest.
