Chapter 74 - Be An Assassin

'He isn't wrong about that. Why didn't I call him at that moment? Lee Soohyun, that's why I always tell you to not make decisions in a hurry. That ruins everything.'

"That slipped my mind at that moment. Hearing the boy's cries, the first thing in my mind was to save him," Soohyun cried.

"Due to your impulse, do you know how many problems you've created? I even said to not bring anyone or anything with you, but at that time too, you didn't listen to that. You brought Junghyun along with you," Minhyun said.

Lee Soohyun's eyes widened due to shock.

"Hubby, you wanted me to leave that kid down there. That's something I can't do," Soohyun spoke out, "I can't escape alone and leave the boy there."

Before Han Minhyun could say anything else, the sound of something shattering was heard from their bedroom. Hearing that, Lee Soohyun jumped and was taken aback.

'Could there be a thief in the bedroom? But isn't the security here supposed to be tight?'

Turning towards Lee Soohyun, Minhyun said, "If you dare to move a step from here, Moon Jiwoo, this time, I'll really throw you off a cliff. Don't think I'm joking when I'm saying this."

Looking at the dark glint in Han Minhyun's eyes, Soohyun nodded obediently. Never did she take his words as a joke. 

"Nevermind. Just follow after me," Minhyun ordered.

Soohyun did not question his sudden change of behavior and just nodded.

'Could it be an a.s.sa.s.sin that one of Minhyun's enemies sent to kill him?'

The thought of that gave birth to fear within her. Soohyun only wanted to live a life without any complications; She had no desires to deal with Minhyun's enemies.

As Han Minhyun strode towards their bedroom, Soohyun's trembling fingers held the corner of his coat. Minhyun noticed but decided against making a comment about it. This was not the time for him to deal with Soohyun.

Turning the k.n.o.b, Minhyun pushed the door open. Peeking her head out from behind Minhyun's back, Soohyun's eyes widened at the scene before her. Pieces of gla.s.s lay all around the floor, and the large gla.s.s window was shattered.

Soohyun let out a scream when the other gla.s.s window suddenly broke. The gla.s.s pieces flew across the room, and to Soohyun, this looked like a scene out of a movie. 

Holding Minhyun's coat tightly, she hid behind his back again for protection. Her body shuddered, and internally, she prayed that nothing would happen. Minnie's words on how she wouldn't die for around a year slipped out of her head at that moment.

Some of the pieces of gla.s.ses flew towards them, and one managed to make a scratch on Soohyun cheek. Wincing at the pain, Soohyun touched her cheek and felt a luke-warm wetness.

Grasping Lee Soohyun's hand, Minhyun removed her grip from his coat and walked towards the front. Raising her head, Soohyun took in the scene in front of her. There was no one in the room.

A note lay on the ground near the broken shards of gla.s.s. Han Minhyun strode towards the note and picked it up. Unfolding the note, Minhyun read its contents.

"Han Minhyun, what type of expression would you make if I tortured that cute little wife of yours?"

Lee Soohyun was still having a hard time absorbing what was before her and had many questions roaming inside her mind. However, noticing the serious expression that sat on Han Minhyun's face, Soohyun stayed quiet.

'How did someone break that window like that? Wasn't the security at this place really strong? How did that note appear there? If there is no one here, then who left the note here?'

The hair on Lee Soohyun's body stood up, and the rate her body was trembling at increased. All of this was too much for her to take in, and her legs were starting to give in.

'No, Lee Soohyun, you can't fall weak. Stay standing.'

Lee Soohyun's eyes widened further when she saw Seo Jihyun, Minhyun's secretary, standing in front of her all of a sudden. He seemingly appeared from thin air, and still scared due to this incident, Soohyun was about to scream again.

However, Seo Jihyun was quick on his feet. Before Soohyun could let out a scream, he dashed towards her, and slapping the back of her head, he made her lose consciousness.

'Was this all a dream?'

Closing her eyes, Soohyun was about to fall down when Seo Jihyun caught her in his arms. Walking over to the couch, he placed her down on the cushions.

After that, he stepped to Han Minhyun's side and bowed politely. Han Minhyun stood up and stared at the note in his hand solemnly.

"Sorry for being late, Boss," Jihyun spoke out.

"They have been getting stronger and managed to break the barrier around the apartment," Minhyun voiced out, "It's not safe to stay here anymore. We have to move back to the old mansion. They will be targeting Jiwoo now."

"Boss, what are your orders?" 

"What did the spy you sent to infiltrate into their headquarters find?" Minhyun questioned.

"He still hasn't been able to gain the trust of the higher ups in their organization," Jihyun voiced out, "They are too closed off and careful this time around. Only a few selected are permitted in their inner circle."

Minhyun said, "If he doesn't work, send someone more capable. We have no time to wait. At this rate, it won't take them long to get to us completely."

"Should I inform the Leaders about this?" Jihyun asked.

"No need. Hide this from them. If they get to find out about this, they will only interfere and create more trouble," Minhyun spoke out, "Find the one behind this. It was most definitely done by one of their primary test subjects, judging by the amount of evidence left behind. They will try to get rid of him, so capture the test subject before that."

Turning towards Lee Soohyun, Jihyun spoke out, "What about her? Should I erase her mind?"

"No need for that. She'll find out about it sooner or later. I'll take care of it," Minhyun answered.
