Chapter 348 - The suicide

"The antidote to the poison was created this fast? This is better than I have expected," he said, "Did you get into troubles though?"

Hearing those words of his made Soohyun recall about what had happened with Ahn Eunwoo, and unsure of Minhyun's reaction to that, she decided that it would be better for her to keep it as a secret.

Wearing a smiling expression, she voiced out, "Of course not! I am genius. I managed to do it without any problems. But that Kwangsoo you have sent with me was of no use. Instead he brought lots and lots of trouble to me."

Han Minhyun let out a chuckle and vocalised, "Do you have the antidote with you now? I am afraid that Hwang Minjae had been poisoned by the Blue Clan, and that was why he reacted in that way."

"Yeah," she said, "Due to the limited number of products, not much could be produced. Where is my bag? The antidote is inside my bag."

"That should be working for now," he spoke out, "Do you have any other clue?"

"Ah! Yes, about the mole, I believe it is Jaeho. When I have mentioned on this matter to Hyungwon, he informed to me on how Jaeho's poison have not been created by them," she stated, "It doesn't make any sense for him to lie to me."

Before Han Minhyun was able to respond to Soohyun's words, the door to the room was pushed open, and a man entered into the room. 

Turning to look at that man, Soohyun could see the desperation and worry in his eyes. Seeing that, creases appeared between her eyebrows, making her wonder what could have happened.

"This is bad, Master Minhyun," he said, "Leader Hwang Minjae had suicided."

Upon hearing those words, Lee Soohyun's eyes widened due to shock, and instantly, she moved her head to take in Minhyun's expression. Astonishment sat in his face for a second before he stood up.

°°°

A solemn expression sat on Minhyun's face while they walked on the prison's hallway. In those eyes of Minhyun held hurt, and Soohyun was well aware of how Minhyun blamed himself for it.

Extending her hand towards him, Soohyun clutched his hand and intertwined their fingers together in hopes of providing him with support.

After Hwang Minjae had made his attack, the suspicions on Minhyun had been removed, and he was no longer confined. 

With the words that he will be explaining about Soohyun's situation later on, they let him bring her at here without trying to confine them. 

Having one of their Leaders to commit suicide was terrible, and the entire Underworld was at a bad state. Although Hwang Minjae did not look like it, he held considerable amount of power as well.

At that moment, the thought of Hwang Yejoon came inside of her mind, and she wondered on how he was. Even though Soohyun did not have her own parents, she was aware of how painful it can be to lose someone precious.

Lee Soohyun was well aware that Minhyun was worried for the boy, and Yejoon was the reason why Minhyun felt mostly guilty. 

There were many guards that had arrived around the prison where Minjae killed himself, and from the corner of her eyes, she spotted Hwang Yejoon.

His head looked down while his face was completely pale. While his hand was clutched on to a tight fist, his entire body shivered. It seemed that he was greatly affected by his father's death.

Beside of him, she could see that Han Sungmin and Oh Jaeho was at the scene— the latter's appearance making Soohyun suspicious.

A cloak was worn by Soohyun in order to conceal her identity. However, walking with Han Minhyun by holding each other's hand definitely gave away who she was to other's.

Han Minhyun wanted for her to stay back at that room, but she insisted on following him. After all, she too was worried about the situation.

"What had happened?" Han Minhyun questioned.

Upon hearing those words from him, one of the guards stepped forward and bowed at him. He then said, "When we were patrolling earlier, we have found that Hwang Minjae had stabbed himself with the arrow in his c.h.e.s.t, and it was already too late to save him."

Han Sungmin scoffed and vocalised, "He was a complete coward; he was not even able to hold on to the end. If he decided to betray the clan, he should have gone through the entire thing. He just ended himself like this. Pathetic."

Those words of Sungmin caused Soohyun to shot him a glare. Looking at Yejoon, she wanted to see his reaction to those ins.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e words of Sungmin.

"No, Hwang Minjae did not betray the Clan. I have seen his eyes before he attacked me, and they were red. He was poisoned by the new drug created by the Blue Clan, and that is why, he reacted in such a way," Minhyun vocalised.

Although it was merely for a second, Soohyun was able to notice the shock that went through Oh Jaeho's face. This strengthened her opinion on how he was the potential mole.

"As for the antidote, we have not found any clue to it. The trap made for Soohyun was by the Blue Clan," he stated.

It did not surprise Soohyun that Minhyun wanted to conceal the truth behind the antidote. Oh Jaeho was present at the scene, and it would only be dangerous if he got to learn of this matter.

That's when, Soohyun's eyes noticed how Yejoon slipped away from the scene, and worried about the joy, she decided to follow after him. Releasing her hold on Minhyun's hand, she went after Yejoon.
