Sister, Back-off From MY MAN - Chapter 135
“Ji Hun, before I reveal something confidential to you, I need an assurance from you that whatever you have seen, heard and spoke here, that information would never get out of these walls and you will never discuss about this place with anyone, not even with your younger brother or your mother.” Lee Myung Soo seriously said.
Song Ji Hun was confused hearing Lee Myung Soo words and turned to look at his father, who nodded his head in affirmation implying his friend is right.
“What is going on here?” Song Ji Hun found this whole situation fishy.
“We will tell you everything, first give me your word that whatever we will tell you will remain confidential” Lee Myung Soo said.
“Fine, you have my word” Song Ji Hun assured them as his curiosity was reaching its peak.
Lee Myung Soo and Song Jae Ho looked at each other and Jae Ho slightly nodded his head, encouraging his friend to say what he is supposed to.
“Song Ji Hun, your family is simple but the same is not the case with mine” Lee Myung Soo started explaining.
“Although this business was started by my father, it was me who made it what it is today” He continued.
Song Ji Hun nodded his head in agreement.
“But my siblings have an eye on my business and are trying to take over it through their kids someday” Lee Myung Soo shared something personal with Song Ji Hun, which only a few trusted people of his know.
“What’s wrong with that? Technically, if their kids are good enough, they can definitely take over” Song Ji Hun voiced his opinion.
“There is nothing in dreaming big and aiming for something, but for this they started a secret organization behind my back with some dangerous people” Lee Myung Soo’s information surprised Song Ji Hun.
“Secret organization?” Song Ji Hun muttered, shocked at this revelation.
“Hmm, this organization funds illegal activities and is dangerous. My sister and my brother became members there as they believed they needed to have some strong support if they ever want to go against me.”
“Can’t you talk them out of joining it?” Song Ji Hun asked.
“No, it is too late, they are already very deeply involved in it” Lee Myung Soo informed.
“How dangerous are those people?” Song Ji Hun asked to try to understand the situation.
“They are capable enough to kill me” Lee Myung Soo’s words surprised Song Ji Hun.
“Then why don’t you to report this organization to the cops?”
“It is not that easy, their activities are untraceable and also we only got to know about them partially, there are still a lot of things we are not aware of this organization. So, we can’t take it down like this by staying out of it” This time Song Jae Ho answered his son.
Song Ji Hun got a bit of an idea as to what is going to happen next.
“Why are you two telling me all of this?” He suspiciously asked the two men.
“What do you think?” Lee Myung Soo counter-questioned him, instead of answering his question.
“You want me to join that secret organization and work for you?” Song Ji Hun shared what he felt was expected of him.
“Hmm, your son is truly smart” Lee Myung Soo looked at his friend, who was proud of his son as he figured out what was expected of him.
“They won’t trust any of my friends as my siblings are aware how loyal my friends are. But when it comes to the next generation, the loyalty level drips. You are extremely smart Song Ji Hun, if you join that secret organization, you will be their biggest asset. They will be more than happy to have you join them.”
Lee Myung Soo explained why Song Ji Hun was chosen for this task.
“What if I refuse?” Song Ji Hun asked them after thinking for a while.
“We will respect your decision and we would never again make this kind of request.” Myung Soo assured him.
“What would I need to do if I agree to your request?”
“If you agree to join them, then we will be creating a few scenarios to help you get noticed by Lee Min Seo and Lee Man Sik. We will make them realize how smart you are and also how wicked you are…”
“Wicked?” Song Ji Hun interrupted his father, who was explaining him the plan.
“If they believe you are a nice person, they won’t obviously have you join them” Lee Myung Soo said.
“So, I need to portray myself as a bad and wicked person?” Song Ji Hun asked.
Song Jae Ho nodded his head, “Yes, you need to look like someone who would do anything for money. You can even go as far as killing your own family if needed.”
“That’s a bit too much” Song Ji Hun felt a bit uncomfortable by his father’s choice of words.
Song Jae Ho chuckled and patted his son’s back, “I am not asking you to turn into a cruel person. I am just asking you to pretend to be someone who is cruel”
“But killing one’s own family for money…”
“The world is cruel, son. That’s why we are doing all of this to protect ourselves” Song Jae Ho knows although his son is always calm and prefers being alone, he is a bit sensitive to matters like this and whatever they are revealing to him, is coming as a huge shock for him.
“Hmm, understood”
“Once my siblings are convinced you would be a good asset for their secret organization, they will approach you and will get you to join them” Lee Myung Soo continued explaining.
“Once you join them, for the first few months, just do as they say because they will always keep an eye on you, once you win their complete trust and they stop having their doubts, you will give us all the information on what exactly is going on there”
“Then?”
“Then, whenever they will try to create trouble for us, we will be prepared” Lee Myung Soo answered Song Ji Hun.
“But if that happens, won’t they realize there is some snitch in their gang, who is failing their plans?”
“No, we will portray as if everything is going according to their plan and secretly, we will counter them” Song Jae Ho answered his son, who didn’t understand how they will manage this but he decided to have faith in his dad.
“All of this is very complicated” Song Ji Hun finally said after getting a proper understanding on this whole situation.
“We know, that’s why we wished to have someone extremely smart from our side to work for us.” Lee Myung Soo said.
“What if you are just over-estimating me?” Song Ji Hun asked them.
“You are my son. I am more aware of your capabilities than you yourself are” Song Jae Ho confidently said.
“I still need some time to make a decision. There are a lot of factors I need to consider; I can’t let my studies get affected by all of this” Song Ji Hun shared his concern.
“Don’t worry, we are not cruel enough to let your studies get affected. You will have our whole support; we can manage everything if you are onboard” Song Ji Hun’s father assured him.
“I am having MBA plans for next year…”
“Don’t worry, your original plans won’t get affected at all. Even this secret organization will be supportive towards your studies as they too want the best from their members.” Lee Myung Soo informed him.
“Are you sure of it?” Song Ji Hun had his doubts.
“That secret organization is funding Choi Hyuk’s studies. They are even giving him some special training” Lee Myung Soo told Ji Hun surprising him.
“Wow, really?”
“Hmm, they are training Choi Hyuk very hard as they intend for him to take over the Lee Corporation” Lee Myung Soo told Ji Hun and looked at his friend, “That’s why I am a bit worried about Kiaraa and wondering how to train her to prepare her against Choi Hyuk”
“Kiaraa is way too smart than Choi Hyuk, you have nothing to worry about her” Song Ji Hun couldn’t control himself from saying so.
His words didn’t fail to surprise the two men though.
“Really?” Lee Myung Soo asked him.
“Hmm, she is also very cunning. I don’t think you need to worry about her” Song Ji Hun confidently said.
“Fine, if you say so, I would love to believe it” Lee Myung Soo smiled.
“Coming on to the main topic, I still need some time to make an informed decision” Song Ji Hun told the two men who were curiously looking at him, waiting for his answer.
“We understand, how long would you need?” Lee Myung Soo asked.
“Till the end of this week. Is that fine?”
“Sure, we will eagerly wait to know your decision” Myung Soo said and the three people then left for their homes.
