Chapter Index

    – Oh Yoon-ji –

    “Should I not receive it?”

    While I was seriously thinking about it, the phone hung up again.

    That’s because I hadn’t received it in a long time.

    Woof! Woof! Woof!

    – Oh Yoon-ji –

    The phone rang again.

    At this point, isn’t it almost like threatening to accept it?

    “Aren’t you answering the phone?”

    Choi Jin-ah glances in my direction and asks. Look at her asking this question on purpose, knowing what the situation is.

    “Ahem, I guess I should take it?”

    “Of course?”

    Let’s just pretend to be calm and not do anything. Let’s take a deep breath and finally press the call button.

    “Hello?”

    – Woojin, thank you.

    “Huh?”

    An unexpectedly warm voice.

    I naturally thought Yoonji would swear at me for revealing our private life and letters without permission.

    Perhaps, more than anything else, it was the fact that I was putting in this much effort that moved him?

    – I’m serious, thank you.

    “Ah, no, what.”

    – Thanks to that, I’m going to be discharged right away. I can’t stay in the hospital because I’m sick and tired of it.

    “… … .”

    – You said you were at your parents’ house? Yeah, wait. I’ll go and tear you to pieces right now!

    “Okay, wait a minute! Yoonji, listen to me! It’s not like I misunderstood…but it was necessary!”

    – What does it matter whether it happened or not! I’ve become the girl who made her love letter public to the nation!

    “No, but it was to our advantage. You’ve literally become the heroine of a tragedy now?! Even your father can’t just kick you out like that anymore!”

    – I’ll kill you! Kim Woojin! I’ll kill you!

    Yoonji’s extreme anger didn’t stop. In the end, I hung up the phone as if I was running away.

    – Choi Yi-seo: Don’t worry, Yoon-ji hasn’t been discharged from the hospital yet.

    “Sigh.”

    thank god.

    I really thought you were coming.

    “He’s not coming?”

    Choi Jin-ah asked with a sidelong glance, as if she was secretly looking forward to it. It seemed like she wanted to see a scene where the two reunite like in a drama.

    “He won’t come! Father will be back soon.”

    Didn’t they say that even a tiger will come if you call it?

    As soon as he finished speaking, his father’s car appeared outside the window, and soon after, he came into the house with his older brother.

    “Are you here?”

    I don’t usually go out to meet you, but I wanted to see you today. Seeing that my older brother, who lives alone outside, came with me, I guess there must be something to talk about.

    “Come to the study.”

    My father tells me to come into the study right away.

    My mom came in the middle of the conversation and tried to lighten the mood, but unfortunately, it wasn’t the right time.

    I made eye contact with my older brother in the middle, but he just nodded slightly.

    It meant that the major crisis had been overcome.

    I think I’ve been coming into my father’s study a lot lately, and I go inside.

    My older brother waited outside without coming in, so I was alone with my father.

    “I watched the broadcast.”

    “How did you like it? It just ended.”

    “Jaewoon showed me this while he was coming.”

    “Hmm, what do you think? Don’t you think public opinion is slowly turning toward Yoonji?”

    If that’s the case, our image of having consistently remained silent and sued those who tried to attack Yoon Ji will also be quite good.

    As of now, unless you kick out Yunji.

    “Not enough yet.”

    But my father was calm and foresaw the situation.

    “… … .”

    “Nothing has been confirmed yet. Everyone is just saying things that sound plausible, and there is no evidence.”

    Are the fact killers telling the truth, or are we telling the truth?

    To my father’s words, it is ambiguous because there is no perfect evidence yet.

    “It is possible.”

    I retorted with a laugh.

    “Absolutely possible. That’s why it was deliberately prolonged so that it wouldn’t even go to trial like the previous investment fraud case.”

    “There’s something.”

    “There will be some gossip, though. Just pay attention to that.”

    “Hmm.”

    My father lowered his voice as if he was thinking hard. Since this was a rare opportunity, I continued to speak.

    “Yoonji will now be a victim to the public. And she is a leading and charming tragic heroine who has achieved a life-changing legend through love alone.”

    “… … .”

    “The public will now begin to guess. It will probably already be in the news. Is she a great villainess living off the legacy left by her murderous father, or is she a pure and innocent woman who cannot overcome the wall of reality?”

    I think the reporters were really excited because of us.

    “Do you have evidence that will turn public opinion in our favor?”

    “Yes, I will solve it tomorrow.”

    “Hmm.”

    “Are you going to kick Yoonji out of here? You know what’s in our best interest, Father.”

    The world did not know that the father had cheated and that the bet was already over.

    They simply announced that they had broken up due to unfortunate circumstances.

    “When you protect, be sure to protect it.”

    Public opinion will come our way anyway.

    Wouldn’t it be better if we inflate it a lot in advance and create an image that we are protecting Yoonji?

    Before I knew it, my father was staring at me intently.

    If he had been looking at me like a businessman until just now, he seems a little more docile now.

    “Are you thinking of marrying Yoonji?”

    “That, that… … .”

    I can’t help but give a vague answer. To be honest, I didn’t think I would be able to marry Yoonji now.

    And I have three other people too.

    “Hoo, if it becomes known that your romantic relationships are complicated, there may be a backlash again.”

    “I know… … . So I will be careful.”

    “Woojin-ah.”

    My father slowly got up from his seat and walked towards me with brisk strides.

    I was startled by the unusual atmosphere, but what my father said next was-.

    “You’re next for me.”

    It was still as bad as ever.

    “That story again. I don’t know anything about the company in general and I have no knowledge of management.”

    “How many times do I have to say this? Knowledge is something you just have to learn.”

    It wasn’t hard to see that there was something disappointing about my older brother in this incident.

    Maybe he wasn’t so stupid as to not notice that it was something that happened while he was defending me.

    “I don’t like it. I absolutely will not do it.”

    “There is no such thing as absolute.”

    “… … .”

    “There’s still a lot of time left until you graduate from college. Think about it slowly.”

    Has he ever spoken to me this kindly? At first, my heart ached for a moment, as if he was trying to use a carrot instead of a whip.

    “It will be the same then.”

    I stepped out resolutely.

    * * *

    “Oh, shit.”

    Fact Killer, a YouTuber whose stock price has been skyrocketing recently, swears at his stagnant subscriber count.

    Since the last broadcast of the investigation team leader, there has been controversy over whether the things he had proven were false.

    The only silver lining is that Oh Yoon-ji’s innocence has not been completely proven.

    “What the heck is this? It’s like a dog, really!”

    Star Studio, where Oh Yoon-ji is the CEO. MCN has a large fandom, but it also has a lot of anti-fans, so I thought that if I could criticize that place, it would be enough to raise my profile.

    Even the other side is the daughter of the serial killer Oh Cheong-min, and the fact killer directly contacted the victims of Oh Cheong-min and heard their stories.

    Even though he exaggerated the sauce a bit, isn’t it true that he committed fraud?

    “Looking at the fact that Woojoo Group hasn’t moved yet, isn’t it possible that Oh Yoon-ji took the money anyway?”

    The community was still very heated, and comments were being posted in real time on the Fact Killer’s video comment section.

    The debate was this.

    Did Oh Yoon-ji really not receive a single penny from her father, Oh Cheong-min?

    If she gets or uses the money, she wins.

    The fact killer believed so.

    “Where are you trying to cover up a heinous crime with a melodrama that’s like a kid’s play?”

    The fact killer suddenly finds out that his video is being uploaded.

    Oh Yoon-ji’s college funds, living expenses, etc.

    The content was that he absolutely could not live without receiving money from Oh Cheong-min.

    “Hooo.”

    Fact Killer, who had his eyes tightly shut, checked the comments a few minutes later.

    ↳ I don’t think that’s wrong?

    ↳ Narakshone, you really are twisting your whole body with a pack of punches.

    ↳ But I think it’s right that he definitely received the money.

    ↳ Yeah, Jin Mi-ae is his mistress and in the end, his registered daughter is Oh Yoon-ji.

    “Ha, hahahahaha!”

    Yeah, this is it.

    This is the reaction.

    Your video has a lot of likes and is spreading quickly through the community.

    And he lights a cigarette while looking at the money being earned.

    ‘Even if it’s a space group, it’s not like they’re defending a murderer’s daughter.’

    As he began to snipe Oh Yoon-ji, other cyber wreckers also rose up one by one.

    It’s quiet again now.

    Perhaps it is because public opinion is divided for and against, but the fact killer saw this as an opportunity.

    ‘You stupid kids. You’re just getting cursed at for being the butt of big business’s tyranny.’

    I am different.

    After all, that side has a socially distorted perspective-!

    ↳ Mr. Packsal, have you seen this video?

    One of the new comments had an address bar written on it.

    And the comments are coming in fast.

    ↳ Hahahahahaha I lost.

    ↳ Wow what the fuckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

    ↳ Hey, aren’t you waiting for the pack to move?

    ↳ Have a safe trip.

    ↳ Bad breath.

    ↳ Down, down, down, down, down, down, down.

    “Huh?”

    I felt my hair stand on end. Before I knew it, the mouse was clicking on the address.

    There was a video uploaded there that I had never seen before.

    The location is the interview room.

    The time was just before he raised his sniper rifle.

    – Oh, Father.

    Oh Yoon-ji calls Oh Chang-min through the partition.

    – Yes, you are my daughter?

    Oh Chang-min, who had a surprised expression, greets her with a bright smile.

    The video started with a greeting and continued with a tense atmosphere.

    – Yeah, yeah! I thought something was strange! I wondered why you suddenly stopped contacting me! There must be a reason!

    – ……yes?

    -No, no! It’s nothing! Oh my, my daughter! Who would have thought she would grow up to be so pretty!

    Knock knock knock.

    An impatient sound was heard from somewhere.

    It was the sound of a fact killer biting his own fingernails without realizing it.

    – I came because I have something to ask.

    – Hmm? Anything you want to ask? Yeah, yeah! Ask me anything!

    Even after that, Oh Yoon-ji couldn’t ask.

    Rather, Oh Cheong-min only asks about Oh Yoon-ji’s age, university, and occupation.

    – Just a moment. Back in the old days, when you came in here.

    But Oh Yoon-ji, who had gathered her courage, interrupted and started asking questions again.

    – You killed a lot of people…

    The sight of her trembling was overly pitiful.

    – You’re wrong, you regret it… right?

    Oh Cheong-min’s eyes change at Oh Yoon-ji’s words of asking for forgiveness.

    – Are you kidding me? It’s my fault? What do you know? Why are you talking about regrets? If you knew what those bastards did back then, you would’ve stabbed them to death too.

    The ominous words continued.

    I felt creepy watching Fact Killer, but I still thought there was no evidence that Oh Yoon-ji did not receive money.

    but.

    – Wait! Not yet! There’s something I haven’t told you yet! Money! Did you find the money?! That’s what I came to give you! Right? I came to tell you that I found it!

    – Yes, Mom! Jinmi-ae told you! That’s why you came! You found the money, right? Right? Right?!

    In response to Oh Cheong-min’s cries, which were practically a confession of fraud, Oh Yoon-ji responded by shedding the tears she had been holding back.

    – Woo, Lee… Mom is Shin Yoon-ah.

    – What, that’s Yuna’s daughter?

    And then Oh Chang-min is dragged along without any hesitation.

    That was the end.

    The content wasn’t as long as I thought.

    The ripple effect was, of course, enormous.

    ↳ Damn, that guy is seriously crazy.

    ↳ Oh Chang-min didn’t even know that Oh Yoon-ji was his daughter.

    ↳ I thought she was Jinmi Ae’s daughter at first lol. This is ridiculous.

    ↳ Wow, life is really like that.

    ↳ Look at how shameless you are, ruining a child’s life.

    ↳ Oh Yoon-ji doesn’t seem to know anything about money?

    ↳ Looks like it was abandoned. Tsk, what should I do with the packsal?

    ↳ I think Packsal will be going to meet Oh Chang-min soon?

    “Ah… … .”

    What the heck.

    Where did this video come from?

    Is it okay to release footage from inside a prison visiting room like this?

    My head was spinning with all sorts of thoughts.

    Woof!

    – Oh Yoon-ji’s ex-boyfriend –

    The fact killer got a phone call. He didn’t know if it was a lifeline or a rotten line, but he answered it urgently.

    “Hello, hello, hello!”

    – Did you see the video? I thought I was going to die of boredom waiting for you to upload the next sniping video.

    “Profit! How did you get this! You’re from a wealthy family, so you can steal prison footage like this?!”

    – Oh, I’m sorry, but this video was received as a legitimate request.

    “What?”

    – This time, we indicted Oh Cheong-min and Jin Mi-ae. We requested the video when we met as evidence for their confession. The relevant parties can view all of the investigation records.

    “That’s right! You’re going to spread this on the internet!? Are you crazy? I’m going to sue you for this!”

    – I don’t know what to do, but try it. Try hard while seeking advice. Do you think I would have leaked this without checking with our people?

    “이 개새끼가! 이딴 식으로 굴어? 정의로운 척은 다 해가면서 결국 재판증거 멋대로 유출하면서까지 엿 먹인다고?!”

    – Hmm? I thought you liked this kind of thing.

    – Speak your mind.

    The mocking voice reminded you of the line the fact killer had said last time.

    ‘Originally, I wasn’t supposed to reveal my real name, but today I’m speaking my mind. Oh Yoon-ji! Are you so confident?’

    “This, this profit!”

    – That video is our statement of conviction. Even though it may be legally flawed, we have to say what we need to say.

    “Huh! Hooosh!”

    My head was so hot.

    But the fact killer wasn’t completely stupid. Public opinion had already tilted.

    It was made public that this stupid murderer was crazy about his mistress, leaving his wife and daughter behind.

    Then what should you do?

    “Sorry, sorry, sorry.”

    It was like getting on your knees and wagging your tail.

    Just like the other cyberwreckers he had laughed at.

    But the opponent was more cruel than expected.

    – The opportunity has long passed. I have no intention of forgiving.

    “Please, please!”

    – Sorry, our chairman is really angry. The stock price is falling, the shareholders are in chaos, the employees are anxious, and the girl he cares about is being torn apart by public opinion. The company’s loss is enormous.

    “Wait a minute! Please! Hey, listen to me just this once! Actually, I’m unemployed, so please be aggro-!”

    Stop.

    The call was disconnected.

    The fact killer, who had been looking down at his cell phone with a blank expression, glances at the computer screen.

    The number of subscribers that had been skyrocketing without anyone knowing was falling.

    ↳ Even if you have to bully someone, why would you bully someone like that?

    ↳ If you want to make money that much, do odd jobs.

    ↳ From the very beginning, he was clearly a retard.

    ↳ Tsk tsk If you said to sell out the victims’ families and make money, then how are you any different from Oh Chang-min?

    ↳ What the heck.

    Where did the people who took his side disappear to? Now everyone is pointing their swords and spears at him.

    – Did you guys see what was uploaded today? The recording of the interview. It’s ridiculous.

    – Hello! This is Truth Fist! Something really hot happened recently!

    – Hi, brothers and sisters! This is Byeolcheong! Right now, in real time!

    and.

    Cyber wreckers from the same industry have suddenly flocked in.

    “Ha, haha.”

    A hollow laugh escaped.

    A deep, dark river called the Internet appeared before my eyes.

    It is the river that he pushed and made Oh Yoon-ji fall into.

    “Hahahahahahaha.”

    Piranhas with various names that inhabit the Internet are now looking at you.

    I guess this time.

    It seemed like it was my turn to jump into the river.
