Doctor Demon

Chapter 240 - Cho Mansion-Conclusion

"Bro!"

Hobin crawls towards Siwan's still body, shaking him. He checks for a pulse and heartbeat. To his relief, Siwan was still breathing but he had taken a heavy beating from all of them. Blood was flowing out of his nose and the exorcism must have taken a heavy toll on his body.

The image of Duho's state after the exorcism flashed through Hobin's mind and he was scared. What if Siwan also turned insane?

"Is he alright?" Baekha whispered. 

"Doctor Kang took a heavy toll," Yoonmin muttered. 

"He also used up his willpower to fight that thing!" Minyoon said bitterly. "It was amazing!"

Jina and Jiwoon also rushed back into the house with Magrod in tow. He instantly touched Siwan's head, his hand projecting a red light into him.

"What are you doing?" Hobin asked the demon. Beside him, Baekha was startled. Who was he talking to?

"I'm injecting him with an antidote which will help stabilize his mind," Magrod murmured. "If demons can turn a possessed person crazy, they can also heal them."

Jina was also surprised as Magrod fixed Siwan. His physical injuries were not healed but at least Magrod could stop the guy from going insane.

To their relief, Siwan was slowly waking up. His eyes fluttered open and he was scanning his surroundings. Then his gaze fell on Jiwoon's ashen face.

"Are you okay?" he whispered in a weak tone. 

"I'm fine but what about you?" she asked, feeling very concerned. Her heart was wrenching at his pain. He was so badly hurt that she was afraid he might be permanently affected. She did not mean to hurt him that bad but Sungki was just too powerful for them to deal with.

"You really know how to kick!" he joked. 

"Bro, we're gonna take you to the hospital, okay?" Hobin consoled him. "You'll be okay!"

He hoisted Siwan on his shoulder while Yoonmin helped him. The others scrambled to their feet, gently aiding Siwan. Minyoon and Baekha carried an unconscious Bomi. Baekha was still confused but she decided to trust these people for now. 

"I'll go and check on my parents and that shaman!" she said. She turned around to address them but to her shock, they were gone.

"Where are they?" she exclaimed. "I tied them up here!"

Jina and Jiwoon were alert. They were about to take out their guns when Jiwoon noticed that her pocket was empty.

"My gun is gone!" she realized. "They must have taken it when I was unconscious!"

"What?"

Jina took out her gun and aimed it ahead, looking out for anyone who might attack them. Sure enough, two figures appeared out of the shadows. She pointed at Ciara and Youngjoon but did not shoot. They might be scum but they were still civilians whom she could not shoot down.

"Mrs. Cho, put the gun down," she calmly said. Ciara was pointing the gun at Jiwoon, her expression full of hatred and loathing for the girl who snatached away her son once again.

"I'll kill her!" she shrieked. "She took away my Sungki! She killed him!"

"You were given a chance to redeem yourself!" Youngjoon said in disgust. "You could have borne him a son and the Cho family an heir. You always ruin everything! I wish my father hadn't forced us to accept you as our daughter-in-law. Sungki would have been alive and we would have had an heir from a worthy girl!"

"Your son was a monster," Jiwoon stated. "He abused me and killed several women everyday. Yet, you don't want to admit your fault! Are you really that blind?"

She pointed at Baekha and added, "Your heir is here! She's worthy to take over your business and empire. You know that Baekha is way more capable and honest than Sungki ever was! How could you ignore her?"

"They're not worth it, sis," Baekha sneered. "They sold their souls to a bloody demon and they don't even know it!"

Ciara pointed the gun at her daughter. She was snarling at Baekha, her hatred for her own daughter very evident. How dare this girl got to live while her son was dead? She lost her own son not once but twice and yet, Baekha was alive and thriving.

"I'll kill you with my own hands," she whispered. 

"Are you even her mother?" Minyoon questioned her. "How could you even point that thing at her? Your son was the one who tried to kill you! If he had succeeded, he'd have dragged you to Hell. Morons!"

"We don't believe you!" Youngjoon claimed. "Our son loves us. He wouldn't harm his parents-"

"Your son killed many women simply because they look like Jiwoon sis," Yoonmin pointed out.

"He was a monster who would have eventually taken you to Hell and given you a fate far worse than death," Hobin gritted. "Look at my brother! Look what he can do. Did that shaman tell you anything? Didn't he make you sign a contract? Don't you know what's written in there?"

The couple were now scared. They did sign a contract but that was to summon their son. The contents of the contract was unknown to them and they just wanted their son to return. That was all.

"If Sungki had succeeded, your souls would have been dragged to Hell and punished there," Hobin revealed. "If you don't believe me, then tell that shaman to show you the contract! Why didn't he show it to you?"

"You're lying!" Ciara claimed. "He told us that we'll get an heir."

"There's always an exchange involved," Jina stated. "If you make a deal with a demon, you're selling your soul. As a business owner, you should know. Nothing is for free. Not even a demon."

"You-" 

Ciara was about to pull the trigger and shoot when a loud gunshot interrupted her. A bullet pierced her arm and she staggered backwards in pain. 

"Ciara!" Youngjoon yelled. The others looked around to find that Dahoon and Woohee had arrived to rescue them.

"Finally!" Jina exclaimed. "I was worried you'd never arrive on time!"

After burning off the hyacinths, she had called her team for help. She quickly told them that Jiwoon was kidnapped and they might need backup to rescue her. Dahoon and Woohee answered her call for help, finally arriving.

"They knocked out Jiwoon and tried to harm her!" Jina pointed at the Cho's. "They even took her gun!"

"Son of a bitch!" Woohee gasped when she saw Siwan's state. "How did he get hurt?"

"That's another story," Jiwoon said. "He was trying to help and got injured. But these two kidnapped me."

"Kidnapping isn't the only thing they did," Dahoon said. "They are also involved in the serial murders."

"Huh?" 

Everyone frowned at them. Dahoon loomed over the couple who were in pain and anguish.

"The hyacinths found at the murder sites were billed under Cho Youngjoon's name," Dahoon revealed. "His credit card was used to purchase them. Also, we questioned his secretary. He confessed that Cho Youngjoon was carrying out investigations on these women for a long time."

"His wife was also involved," Woohee added. "She spied on these women as well. Her car was spotted in several places they were at. They might have used Yooseok to carry out their sadistic killings."

"We did no such thing!" Ciara claimed. "We-"

"Your fingerprints were also found on the flower bouquets," Dahoon added. "Your and your husband's."

Jina and Jiwoon looked at each other in shock. The Cho's were dumber than they had thought but love for their son had blinded them.

Cops had arrived and arrested the couple while Siwan, Baekha, Bomi and Jiwoon were sent to the hospital to be treated for their injuries. While Baekha and Jiwoon were fine, Siwan was being treated in the ICU.

Hobin and the twins went with the paramedic while Jina and Magrod stayed behind to take care of the mess. Magrod removed all traces of sulphur from the mansion while Jina aligned her testimony with Jiwoon's to make sure the Cho's seemed like they were working on their own. The couple tried to claim it was their son who killed the girls but no one would believe their words.

"It was Sungki!" Ciara shouted in jail. "He did it! He killed them!"

They were at the precinct where the couple were put under remand. The reporters had already caught wind of the story and published the news. They were being dubbed as the Fred and Rose of the country. Their stocks plummeted as investors pulled out and within hours, the reputation of the Cho's were in tatters.

Jina sighed and turned to Taejoon. "See Chief? I told you they're crazy," she said.

"It seems so," Taejoon grumbled. "What were they thinking? Kidnapping a cop?"

"Jiwoon will testify once she's released from the hospital," Jina said. "I'll go and check up on her."

Taejoon nodded and she left the precinct after giving her testimony. Once outside, she turned to Magrod who was still tailing her.

"What'll happen to those two?" Magrod asked curiously.

"They'll go to jail and spend a long time in there," Jina shrugged. "But I am curious about one thing. The demon is dead. So the contract they signed is void, right?"

"The demon is dead but the contract stays," Magrod said in a grim tone. "It says that once an heir is conceived, they'll be sent to Hell. If not by Sungki, then by Baekha. Once she conceives a child in her future, these two will be shipped off to Hell. No first class treatment there."

Jina shook her head.

"Humans are stupid," she said out loud.

"That I'll agree with," Magrod nodded.
