[The message from Jung Sejin flashed before his eyes: "It's best if you stay at home until I contact you, as the news reports are saying that you were also injured." He had also advised him to handle any calls from other Taesung executives with caution.]@@novelbin@@

“Handle it with caution, my foot…!”

Choi Sungchan yelled in frustration, hurling his phone to the floor. He then gulped down the glass of water sitting on the table, trying to calm his nerves.

The world had become chaotic and loud very quickly. With society already on edge due to a series of violent incidents, it was only natural that people would latch onto this situation with fervor.

And now, Choi, who had been involved in the incident, found himself utterly bewildered. He hadn’t expected things to spiral out of control like this. Well, maybe he had. When Jung Sejin had promised to completely change Taesung, Choi had anticipated that he would do something drastic with Kwon Lee Hyuk.

But he never imagined it would go this far—never thought Lee Hyuk would be so severely injured, his life hanging by a thread. Sejin hadn’t mentioned anything about such extreme measures.

Sejin had orchestrated what was essentially an attempted murder with a disturbing level of nonchalance.

"All you have to do is call Director Kwon to the location I've chosen. When the server brings the drinks, make sure to give the glass on the right to Director Kwon. Then, at an appropriate moment, leave the scene and wait for my call. After that, just stay out of sight."

Choi should have seen the warning signs when Sejin first suggested something so suspicious. He should never have gotten involved with someone as unsettling as Jung Sejin.

It was clear now that Sejin had lost his mind, all because he couldn’t stand Lee Hyuk. If Lee Hyuk died, wouldn’t that make Choi an accomplice to murder?

At this point, Choi realized he had no choice but to follow Sejin’s instructions. If things went wrong, Sejin could easily frame him for everything. The fact that yesterday’s news claimed he had been injured while trying to stop the incident—despite not being at the scene—was a clear warning from Sejin not to act on his own.
