The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor

Ch 128+129

Ch 128:

Baek Seo-joon rolled his tongue as he looked through the extensive data sent by Yoo Yeon-seo. If he had investigated, he wouldn't have been able to obtain the data in such a short period.

As Baek Seo-joon skimmed through the data for a while, he smirked as he saw a name displayed on his phone screen.

"Oh. Are you not busy?"

(Have you received the data?)

"I'm looking at it now. Why did you go to such lengths?"

Moreover, it was conveniently organized by the secretary. This guy is quite handy... Baek Seo-joon couldn't help but sigh. Not only does he boast about being the chief's son, but the guy sitting next to him is also picking a fight...

"You should focus on your own work for now. I'm quite free these days, so it's okay."

(······Did you hear from Hyung?)

Baek Seo-joon furrowed his brows at the suspicious remark. He stood up from his seat and headed towards the emergency exit staircase.

"Did you think I wouldn't hear? He's a close friend of mine."

(It's not that serious.)

"Even if we usually keep our distance, when it comes to family, we worry."

Yoo Yeon-seo frowned upon hearing those words. How old does he think I am? But he couldn't help but stay silent at Baek Seo-joon's following words.

"I haven't seen him in over ten years. But he's never been this sensitive before."

(······.)

"Think of it as getting what you did back then."

What I did back then... Yoo Yeon-seo realized it referred to the incident right after he discovered Lee Hee-seo's body. Amidst the chaos, his brother didn't want him involved, so in this current search for the culprit, Yoo Eun-ho hoped his brother wouldn't intervene.

Could he be referring to that incident too? He really does know a lot. Yoo Yeon-seo changed the subject for now.

(What happened to the person in the video I found?)

"I've been trying to confirm for a few days, but I missed it halfway through."

(What?)

"They skillfully avoid CCTV and black boxes, it seems like it's not their first time. Anyway, I'll leave this to the police."

Yoo Yeon-seo replied that he understood. Honestly, having Baek Seo-joon around made things easier. Although Joo Sung-ui's information gathering skills were not to be underestimated, tasks requiring authority took longer with him.

(Does Hyung have any leads?)

"He does. Why now, though?"

(Now?)

"Yeah, you've been in the spotlight more than once. Even back when you debuted, there were tons of people who recognized you instantly."

Why on earth would he be Hee-seo's son? It's no secret that Yoo Yeon-seo was the first to discover her tragedy. There were no proper media guidelines back then, and the power of journalists was quite considerable.

So, it's not because of Yoo Yeon-seo himself, but because of the interest in Hee-seo that he gained popularity since his debut... Thinking so, Baek Seo-joon suddenly raised his head as if something came to his mind.

"It might not be because of you... There could be other reasons."

Baek Seo-joon found the list of servants and looked for someone who had died relatively recently. It was stated that they died from an illness, but he hadn't personally confirmed it at the hospital.
