141. I'm arresting you.
The investigation into Ham Dae-geun was a headache for the police from the beginning. Ham Dae-geun immediately called a lawyer and kept his mouth shut.
Ji-heon had to move quickly because he couldn't know what strategy he would use if a lawyer was brought in. Ji-heon asked the police to help him so he could face Ham Dae-geun as the victim.
"Why are you here... ... ."
When Ji-heon appeared, Ham Dae-geun froze.
"Because I'm a victim."
"... ... ."
"Because I am a victim of the incident caused by Mr. Ham Dae-geun."
Ji-heon, sitting right in front of Ham Dae-geun, asked leisurely with a hint of sarcasm.
"Did Chae Eun-bi say that I did something terrible to her? Or did Chae Eun-yeop say that?"
As expected, Ham Dae-geun did not answer and just turned his head away. He looked like he was regretting what he had said in front of the police station.
"Chae Eun-bi and I had no relationship. Chae Eun-bi admits it, and Chae Eun-yeop knows it too. Whoever it was, the CEO got stabbed in the back of the head."
Ji-heon told the truth and held out a document in front of Ham Dae-geun. It was a complaint he had written a long time ago.
"Here is a copy of the complaint. This is the truth. I filed a complaint early on because the siblings Chae Eun-bi and Chae Eun-yeop kept making up false rumors. Chae Eun-yeop came to me on August 12th and asked me to withdraw the complaint."
"... ... ."
"And since the online terror attack on the Sophisticated Group started on August 13th, it seems that Cha Eun-yeop met with the CEO on the night of the 12th."
When I told him the exact date, Ham Dae-geun's eyes widened. As he slowly turned his head, I saw Ham Dae-geun's face tremble.
Ji-heon stated the cold, harsh truth in a calm voice.
"Can I tell you something?"
"... ... ."
"Chae Eun-yeop will abandon you. If he had been thinking of saving you, he would have come running already. Or he would have sent Chae Eun-bi."
Instigating slander wasn't just Chae Eun-yeop's specialty. Jeong Ji-heon was also someone who could exaggerate and lie skillfully if it was for his goal. Of course, he is now proud that it is all true and certain.
"Those siblings don't have that kind of loyalty. They don't even care about you. You're just a stepping stone to climb up. You don't need a stepping stone after you've climbed up. You'll need it again when you're safely getting back down, but once they're up, they won't have any intention of coming down."
Ham Dae-geun trembled without being able to breathe. Ji-heon's calm voice and sharp eyes felt like they were squeezing and stabbing him.
I thought that everything Jeong Ji-heon said might be true. Chae Eun-bi hadn't contacted me at all during that time. Chae Eun-yeop said that her younger sister wasn't feeling well, but it was strange that she hadn't contacted me at all.
I felt like I had done everything I could for them, but I ended up being caught by the police station with nothing in my hands, so I couldn't stop thinking about my original intentions.
'My money... ... .'
Ham Dae-geun sent the cash from his home safe to Chae Eun-yeop. There were five boxes of apples.
