Chapter 166

Chapter 166: Chapter 166.

The vice president wasn’t the kind of person who would call a conference without an important reason.

When he thought about the situation for a while, he realized that the report from his assistant was true.

“If that’s her final decision… it wouldn’t be easy to survive… even for Gyeonhui…”

The vice president was the second most influential person in the entire group after the Chairman, Mr. Woo.

Since she had made up her mind to fire Gyeonhui, Gyeonhui’s future was no different than a butterfly hanging in a spider’s web.

“What a minute.”

Chunduk was smiling, but soon, he looked at the untraceable phone in his hand again.

“If she’s going to fire Gyeonhui anyways, I don’t need to take any risk at all.”

Chunduk nodded, and he looked at one of his assistants and said,

“You said that this is an untraceable phone?”

“Yes, it is.” His assistant answered him like a soldier in the army.

“Great.” Chunduk stood up and went toward the restroom. “I can blow my nose without touching it. I don’t need to go through the hassle.”

He had a nasty smile on his face and threw the phone in the toilet.

Watching Chunduk doing so, one of his assistants was surprised, but he couldn’t stop Chunduk.

“Sun!” Opening the door to her place, hurriedly, Gyeonhui cried.

“Ruff! Ruff!”

However, except for the surprised Labong, there was no one there.

“Cheonsun! Cheonsun!”

He opened every door in her place to find her, but it was worthless.

“She isn’t here?”

Ojae asked, coming in later. However, he was able to see that Sun wasn’t here by looking at Gyeonhui’s serious face.

“Why don’t we call the police and report a disappearance?” Eunyoung said.

“We can’t call them until she’s been missing for more than 24 hours,” Ojae said anxiously.

Hearing him quietly with a firm expression, Gyeonhui started speaking. “Call the police to report that she’s been kidnapped.”

“What?” “Ojae panicked and asked him again.

“You just said that we can’t report a disappearance. Then call the police for kidnapping, so they can start the investigation right away.”

“Are you sure? You know if we call the police, it will draw people’s attention to our company. The whole country will know about this.”

“Does it matter? She could be in danger!”

“Gyeonhui, you’re not thinking clearly. We don’t know what exactly has happened to her. Maybe she went somewhere with her friend.”

“Eunyoung said that she doesn’t know the person.”

“You’ll never know. What if Sun just shows up tomorrow? How are you going to deal with the fallout?”

“I’m going to take full responsibility, so just do it!!” Gyeonhui cried.

Looking at him, he seemed like he wouldn’t change his mind.

“Hah… I don’t know what to do.”

Ojae reluctantly went out to call the police. When Ojae left, Gyeonhui looked at his own body.

It seemed like she was unconscious because he couldn’t feel any of her pain.

“Where are you… Sun…”

Gyeonhui grabbed his chest.

***

In a dark warehouse.

Sun lost consciousness and was being tied to a chair. Soon she opened her eyes slowly.

“Hmm…”

Because of a throbbing headache, her face instantly crumpled.

A terrible pain, not because of the hangover, came to her, and she felt like the pain would crush her head.

She barely opened her eyes again and looked at the surroundings.

It looked like an empty warehouse with faint lightings.

‘Tap, tap, tap, tap.’

At that moment, somebody approached her when she heard the sound of high heels.

“Who are you…?”

She started speaking, struggling with the throbbing pain.

“Oh, are you already awake?”

Sarah was surprised and looked at Sun.

“Where am I?”

“Here? Hm… You don’t need to know. You’ll be fine if you just stay calm. Okay?”

Sun finally realized the situation she was in.

“… Why are you doing this to me?”

Sarah thought for a while and spoke. “Because I need money.”

“I think you’re wrong about me. I don’t have a lot of money.”

That was a fact.

Sun had no reason to be kidnapped because she wasn’t rich, nor was she the daughter of rich people.

“I know that. All you have is the down payment for your small place.”

“Then why…”

“We don’t want you. We want your boyfriend.”

“What… no… no way…”

Sun panicked and asked her again.

“The CEO of Consencio, Mr. Woo, is going to pay us for you.”

“Shut your mouth!” At that time, behind Sun, a man’s loud voice was heard.

The man quickly covered Sun’s mouth with a towel.

“Ugh, ugh…”

Sun roughly shook her head, but she was tied up, so she couldn’t avoid it.

Woochang raised up his head and glared at Sarah furiously.

“I mean… that’s not… she just kept asking me questions…” Sarah quickly shut her mouth, fearing the man.

“Did she? Why don’t you just tell her everything about yourself too? Huh?!”

“I’m… I’m sorry. It won’t happen ever again.” Dropping her face, Sarah answered with a dragging voice.

“Ahh…”

Woochang exhaled a sigh of frustration and took out his phone again to call Chunduk. However, Chunduk didn’t answer the phone.

“Somethings’ wrong…”

“Why? Isn’t he answering the phone?”

Woochang nodded without saying anything.

Somebody might have already called the police for now.

Woochang knew that somebody would call the police anyway, but he never knew when precisely the cops would come after him.

“This isn’t good at all…”

Woochang called Chuhduk again, but he didn’t pick up the phone this time either.

Woochang started feeling anxious.

“No… no way…”

Although he was already getting nervous, he shook his head. However, he intimately knew that something went wrong.

“I can’t wait anymore. I have to see him myself.”

“What? Are you going to meet Chunduk?”

Woochang nodded. “Keep your eyes on her, and don’t say anything stupid.”

Sarah quickly nodded as if she were waiting, not to bother his mood.

Still looking down at his phone, Woochang hurriedly left the warehouse.

***

Closing his eyes tightly, Gyeonhui didn’t move his body even an inch.

After a while, the door opened, and Ojae entered.

“I just called the police. They’ll be here soon.” Ojae said with a sunken voice.

Hearing Ojae, Gyeonhui slowly nodded. However, he frowned after feeling a terrible headache.

“Ugh.”

As soon as Ojae saw Gyeonhui’s crushing face in pain, he quickly came to Gyeonhui.

Gyeonhui knew that Sun was still alive because he just felt her pain.

“Are you okay?”

“… I’m fine. Fortunately, she seems okay for now.”

He said that, but his face looked more frustrated and anxious.
