Chapter 457: Crazy Plan

No matter how hard Ki-Jun thought about it, no one came to mind. He couldn’t think about anyone wanting to make any changes or prevent him from making any changes to his will.

The names of beneficiaries in his will were limited, and they weren’t ones to do something like this, as they were either not born or too young at the time of the incident or were directly affected by it.

He stared at Dan-Han with a deep frown. “This person, you know who it is, don’t you?” He asked to be certain, and Dan-Han nodded.

“I’m afraid I do,” Dan-Han replied, and Ki-Jun’s countenance grimly darkened.

Dan-Han couldn’t blame him for not coming up with a suspect in mind, as the culprit had fully crafted his plan and ensured his name was the last name that would come to his brother’s mind.

Yong-Gun had everything plotted out in a way no one would ever imagine he could be responsible for, as it would seem he had nothing to gain from the whole scheme.

Dan-Han had to admit that the man was indeed sly.

.....

Ki-Jun tersely nodded at Dan-Han’s words. “I’ll see to whoever it is at the end of all this.” He deathly drawled, his tone holding a promise of doing what he had said. Dan-Han observed the strange look on the man’s face, and it was one he hadn’t seen before.

He’d be this enraged had he been in Ki-Jun’s shoes. Well, he’d be more than enraged. He’d turn the life of anyone who’d dare such a prank on him upside down, and they’d wish they had never been born.

“So what are we supposed to do now?” Mr Philip nervously asked when the silence lingered a bit too long.

He wanted to know if Dan-Han had a plan. By God, he hoped he had one because he didn’t want to believe Dan-Ha had implicated him in something he had been clueless about until now and was capable of taking his life.

Dan-Han nodded, and the man sighed in relief.

“So what is it?” He urged, anxiety sounding in his voice.

“I can’t really determine what he’ll do, but I can imagine what he might attempt.”

“And what is that?” Ki-Jun asked, eagerly wanting to get to the bottom of this.

“Accidents,” Dan-Han replied. “That would be the most likely scenario.” He told them, and a short wave of silence hovered in the room before Eun-sun spoke.

“And most unlikely?” She asked, and everyone’s piercing gaze settled on Dan-Han with curiosity.

Dan-Han casually shrugged. “Gunshots.” He said, and everyone tensed up, most especially Eun-sun.

“None of you should be surprised if you run into an armed robbery scene on your way back. Your cars might be taken to make it look like an armed robbery or anything valuable on you might be taken. That would draw away the suspicion of it being an assassination attack. And if it’s indeed an accident, then I can assure you, even if anyone of you makes it to the hospital, you’d be declared dead of a heart attack or any natural cause that might have resulted from the accident before the day runs out.” He told them.

“And how would you this?” Ki-Jun asked with a curious frown, wondering how Dan-Han had all this in his head.

Dan-Han non-committally shrugged as he settled back into the couch. “Because those are some of the things I’ll do if I were in his shoes and if I’m to keep my tracks covered to prevent future troubles.”

The room went silent immediately after Dan-Han said those words. He almost scoffed at the incredulous look on their faces. He stared at Eun-sun, and he almost smiled. She looked at him like he had suddenly grown an extra head and was probably seeing him for the first time.

She was the one who fell for a man like him, so she should handle it. He turned his gaze away from her and stared at his godfather and Mr Philip.

“I’ve made some arrangements for you.” He said, and Mr Philip perked up. All he wanted was to go home safely and imagine this day was only a bad dream, and he hadn’t heard anything about his life being in danger.

“In your cars are two men who’d be driving your cars back,” Dan-Han announced.

“Drivers? Why?” Ki-Jun asked. Why were there suddenly drivers in their cars?

“Did something happen to the cars?” Ki-Jun couldn’t help but ask, and he confirmed it when Dan-Han nodded.

“Just before we got into this room, your brakes were altered just as I’d imagined they would be.”

“Altered by who?” Mi-Cha urgently asked, and Dan-Han glanced at her as he replied.

“By men who were probably sent here for Eun-sun after I sent that DNA report, but they must have reported our meeting here when they saw uncle and Mr Philip.”

Mr Philip slightly gaped when he fully realised why he had been invited.

Dan-Han knew his presence would stir up a change of plans in the enemy camps, hence why he had invited him.

“So what’s going to happen now?” He wasn’t expected to get into his car now that he knew what had happened to his car, right?

Dan-Han succinctly explained what they were to do. “Mi-Cha would stay back in the hotel room with Eun-sun.” He said, and Mi-Cha frowned hearing that.

“What about my dad? You aren’t thinking about putting him in the car, are you? Despite knowing it has been tampered with?” She demanded, and Eun-sun also peered at Dan-Han.

“Dan-Han, are you?” Eun-sun cautiously asked.

Dan-Han sighed as he stared at his uncle. “There’s no other way. If you want to catch him in the act, then we must do this.” He said.

“Are you crazy?!” Mi-Cha fumed as she shot to her feet. Dan-Han understood her worry, so he said nothing. Mi-Cha turned to her father when he remained quiet despite hearing all he had said.

She suspiciously frowned at him. “Dad, you aren’t considering this are you?” She demanded, and when he remained quiet, she turned to Eun-sun, who was silently staring at Dan-Han.

“You’re not going to let him do this, are you? He’s only got you back, and you’re going to let your boyfriend drive him to his death?”

“Mi-Cha.” Ki-Jun chided, but the girl was too livid to be calmed. What nonsense were they even discussing right now? She mused.

This wasn’t some movie where people went insane with mad ideas. What happened to just calling the cops and catching the bad guy?

She whipped out her phone from her bag. “I’m going to call the cops.” She said.

“And do what?” Dan-Han asked.

“And tell them someone is after my father’s life, and he needs protection. And you better spill who this person is, so they arrest him before he does something terrible because this plan of yours is insane!” She told Dan-Han matter of factly.

Dan-Han wearily sighed. “You have to calm down, Mi-Cha. Nothing will happen to them!” He said while Mi-Cha looked at him with incredulity.

“Calm down? Calm down?” She angrily asked, and Dan-Han nodded.

“Yes.”

“I won’t calm down!” She snapped. “This is my father. Her father.” She pointed at Eun-sun. “You want me to explain to mom why something as stupid as this had happened?! What if something happens? Why do you think whoever this person is, he hasn’t thought about you thwarting his plan? What if he has a contingency plan? Can you assure me....assure us that nothing will go wrong?” She acridly demanded, and everyone except Ki-Jun peered at Dan-Han.

Dan-Han kept silent for a while before answering, “No.”

“Then I say to hell with your plans. I’m calling the cops.” She declared, and just as she started dialling the number on her phone, Ki-Jun snatched it away from her.

“Dad!” She yelled.

“Be calm, Mi-Cha. Let’s all think about this.” He told her, but the girl wouldn’t hear it.

Eun-sun turned to Dan-Han, who also stared at her. “Dan-Han, I also don’t like this plan of yours. It’s too risky.” She told him. “What if something happens to him, to Mr Philip? I don’t think we can deal with that. Let’s think of something better.” She told him.

“There’s nothing better.” He replied to her. “Calling the cops isn’t going to help in anything because you have no evidence. What are you going to say to the cops? That someone took you from your parents as a child? How do you prove it? He left no proof, but if you want one, then this is the way to go.”

“It’s a bit lengthy and dramatic, and trust me, I hate it all just as you all do, but there’s nothing we can do except follow him on his path. To get someone as vicious as this who would go as far he can; then you have to play according to his game and let him believe he has it all figured out.”

Mi-Cha irritably hissed. “I still don’t like this idea.” She sharply told him.

“I know.” He turned to Eun-sun again. “I promise to do everything I can, believe me.” He told her, but Eun-sun shook her head.

But before she could say anything, Ki-Jun spoke up. “I’ll do it.” He said, and Mi-Cha turned to him with a frown.

“Dad?!” She called, but Ki-Jun ignored her and also evaded Eun-sun’s gaze. He looked at Dan-Han.

“I want to see this person who ruined my family at the end of the day, and I want to be on my feet when I do.” He said, and Dan-Han nodded.

“I’ll do my best.”

“Your best isn’t assuring enough. I want certainty, and I want my attorney to be excluded from this. I can’t bear the risk of anything happening to him.” Ki-Jun said, and Dan-Han nodded, knowing Ki-Jun would have it no other way, but he wasn’t going to exclude the man because doing so would be a flaw.

Eun-sun turned to Dan-Han when she realised he hadn’t mentioned himself in any of this.

“And where are you going to be?” She asked, and they all peered at him.

“Making sure nothing goes wrong,” he said as he hoped nothing did
