IRLPLBIO Chapter 16 Part 2

‘I’m not going to tell you.’

Jae-gu, annoyingly sticking out his tongue, threw out a remark as if to tease.

‘If you talk to the Big Hand of Jongno, Madam Shin, there might be a way.’

At those words, Han Yun-cheol couldn’t even think of playing push-and-pull and abruptly leaned towards Jae-gu.

‘Madam Shin? The Big Hand of Jongno?’

‘Ah, you didn’t know, brother. That she’s Madam Shin, the money lender of that side.’

At that time, Han Yun-cheol was truly flustered. It had been quite a while since he started looking into the Big Hand of Jongno, hoping to procure a large amount of cash without leaving a trace. However, no matter how much he investigated, he couldn’t even ascertain her face, let alone her three-syllable name or gender.

Yet, the audacious high school student in front of him was speaking as if he knew a lot about the Big Hand of Jongno.

‘That could be a lie…’

‘If you don’t want to believe it, don’t.’

‘No, tell me more. I need to find out if it’s true.’

‘Come on, brother. Who do you think I am, a fool? If you want to know more, you’ll have to pay the information fee first.’

He couldn’t win against the grinning Jae-gu. In the end, Han Yun-cheol provided almost double the settlement money as an information fee and even became Jae-gu’s investment proxy. It was such an absurd deal that he wondered if he had been enchanted.

“What are you thinking so hard about? I’m telling you, isn’t he a gold-digger?”

“No.”

Han Yun-cheol, who had spoken briefly, added a little more, unable to resist Han Gyeong-jin’s gaze urging him to say more.

“On the contrary… he’s a very clever kid. If Seong-cheol hadn’t acted up first, the police situation wouldn’t have happened.”

“…Is that so? Hmm. If you say so, then it must be.”

Han Gyeong-jin didn’t entirely believe Han Yun-cheol’s words. It was possible Han Yun-cheol was taking the other side’s hand just to undermine Han Seong-cheol.

However, he pretended to believe him for now. It was to ask the next question.

“Then what did you talk about while this was off? You must have had something to talk about if you turned it off.”

“Nothing much was said. He seemed to dislike being recorded. Said it could be edited later.”

This time, it was a complete lie. Han Gyeong-jin immediately noticed.

It was suspicious that Han Yun-cheol, who should be wary of information being passed to him, answered too calmly and indifferently. Han Gyeong-jin decided he needed to find out who the lawyer was who had accompanied Han Yun-cheol.

Just as he thought the important part was over and was about to get up, a click sound, and the recorder turned on again, resuming playback.

―Is it on like this?

It was a different voice from a moment ago. It was Kwang-cheol’s. Both had discovered the recorder, but while Jae-gu chose to turn it off, Kwang-cheol chose to turn it on.

Han Gyeong-jin sat back down with an expression of interest.

―Bringing this means others will hear today’s conversation, right?

―…Yes.

―That’s good.

―What’s good?

―I will cooperate with the secondary gender test. A Dominant Alpha who manifested in middle school, and still being a middle school student. That would be useful.

Han Yun-cheol in the recording and Han Gyeong-jin listening to the recording both gasped and swallowed.

Han Gyeong-jin, eyes wide open, mouthed words. He wanted to ask if it was true, but he also had to listen to what was coming from the recorder, so he seemed confused.

Reading his expression, Han Yun-cheol replied.

“Yes, it’s true.”

“That’s amazing!”

Han Gyeong-jin quickly became excited. Even an ordinary Alpha was treated as valuable personnel, but a Dominant Alpha at that!

Moreover, the fact that he was a middle school student made it even better. It was very easy and convenient to gently coax a child and use them.

The world-weary adult began to frantically come up with ways to achieve maximum results with minimum investment. Lost in his flights of fancy, Han Gyeong-jin failed to notice that Han Yun-cheol’s expression had turned peculiar.
