Chapter 155 - Sunny Daze (1) I Will Find You

KJ stared at the box in disbelief. Nothing happened. Even after putting in the password, the box remained shut. "The hell?" he exclaimed in frustration. He kept on inputting the date in different arrangements but the box remained shut tight. Did this SD give him the wrong information? He kept on trying to unlock the box but failed every time. It just refused to open! Finally after two hours of trying, he gave up. It was frustrating that the clue to his parents' murders were right in front of him and he could not access it at all. Goo Soo Bin took the security of the box very seriously. It was well protected even from KJ himself. He picked up his phone and dialed Mirae's number. She picked up on the third ring. "Hello, KJ," she greeted from the other end. "What happened with Shun Oguri," he asked. "The Prosecutor hired by Tamlin was amazing," Mirae complimented. "She cornered Shun Oguri like a tigress! He has no other option but to listen to us and go to jail. It will be even easier to get information out of him now. The police have put him in custody. After that… Let Song Tamlin take care of the rest." "Did you manage to open the box?" She added.  KJ sighed. "No," he said bitterly. "I tried everything. Nothing worked."  Mirae was silent on the other end. She had many questions but she did not want to voice them out at that moment.  "Let's talk when I come back home," she said. "Maybe we will be able to figure something out if we rack our brains together."  "Alright," KJ nodded. He hung up the phone and sat down, deep in thought. Being hasty would not be a good idea. He needed to calm his head and consider all his options.  ….  Sunye was quietly sipping a cup of coffee. Her laptop was wide open in front of her. It was almost 1 am and she was typing away on it.  "Want some more coffee?"  She looked up to see an elderly lady standing in front of her.  "That is alright, Auntie," she smiled. "I'm almost done anyway."  "You really need to take care of yourself more," the woman commented. "You're here to this cafe every night, working so hard."  "I'm alright," Sunye assured her.. "Thank you." The elderly woman gave her a polite nod and walked away. Sunye turned her attention back to her screen.  Shun Oguri's face was on it, smirking at her. Just looking at his disgusting face made her boil in anger. But Sunye had an incredible amount of self control on her emotions. She preferred to study her opponents and hit back when necessary.  The case was pretty much an open and shut one. Oguri would not be able to get away. The matter of concern is the discord between Song Tamlin and the Cartel. If Oguri is convicted, will the Cartel retaliate? And what will be the retributions?  No doubt a new rivalry will start between Song Tamlin and the Cartel. As if the rivalry between Abyss and the Cartel wasn't bad enough, Sunye thought.  She was so engrossed in her work that she did not notice the person approaching her. He quietly took the seat in front of her.  "Still working?"  Startled she looked up to find a pair of blue eyes staring at her.  "SD," she stated curtly. "Do you need something?"  "Question is, Ms. Sunye," SD said lazily. "Do you need something?"  "I am quite fine," she replied coolly. "I don't need any information since I have collected plenty on my own."  "Ahhh yes," SD recalled. "You would rather and I quote, 'die than buy any information' from me."  Sunye was getting irritated but kept a poker face. "You know me so well," she said with a hint of sarcasm.  "But I'd give you any information for free," SD went on. "After all, you are my special customer."  "I would rather jump off a cliff," Sunye said sourly. She began to gather her things. Nothing good can ever come out of liaising with this man. Giving him a cold look, she walked off. She was almost at the exit when SD spoke out.  "In two days, something big will happen at Sunny Daze," he said. Sunye froze in her steps. SD walked towards her, taking each step very calculatively.  "The person you are looking for," SD continued. "Will be at Sunny Daze. He has all the answers you seek."  "What do you mean?" she demanded. "Who'll be there?"  But SD only gave her a cryptic smile and walked away through the exit.  "SD!" She ran after him. But had vanished into the darkness. His cryptic words were ringing in her ears. The person she is looking for will be at Sunny Daze…  She took out a locket she was wearing around her neck. In it held the picture of two children: a five year old girl in pigtails holding a three year old infant. They were smiling widely at the camera.  A small smile formed on her face. "I will find you," she promised. Closing the locket shut, she wore it back around her neck and hailed a cab home.  …..  "You know, I can just hack into the system and unlock this thing," Mirae said in a dull tone. She was at his apartment, sitting on his couch and had been watching KJ type and re-type various numbers on the box for over an hour but he failed every time.  "No!" he insisted. "That code was for me. I know that only I should open this!"  "Who cares about the code when you have a world class hacker living right next door?" Mirae argued. "Give it to me and and I can crack the password!"  But KJ was adamant. He wanted to open this himself using the right code. After his brush with time travel and destiny, he was convinced that only he should figure out how to open this box.  "Suit yourself," Mirae shrugged. "But it's only going to waste a lot of time. What if there is nothing of value inside? What will you do then?"  "I know there is something in it," KJ said. "I just know it. Are you sure you gave me the right code?"  "I'm sure," Mirae said.  "What if SD is lying?"  "He never lies," Mirae assured him. "However, it was strange that he gave us free information. That was unlike him."  KJ frowned. The more he gets to know this SD, the more apprehensive he gets. Is he even trustworthy?  Mirae's phone started to vibrate. She glanced at the caller ID.  "It's Hyun Jung," she informed KJ. Putting the phone on loudspeaker, she answered.  "Hello, Hyun Jung," she greeted. "Do you have any news?"  "CEO…" he hesitated from the other end. "Is KJ there with you?"  "He's here with me. What is it?"  "CEO… Shun Oguri committed suicide inside his cell."
