In order not to implicate Kim Jung-hwan, Choi Yeon-soo sincerely begged Lee Seung-hwan to give her a chance, since this whole thing was caused by her.

After much deliberation, Lee Seung-hwan finally nodded slowly.

Choi Yeon-soo also told him about her situation and her relationship with Kim Jung-hwan.

To his surprise, Kim Jung-hwan was a pure love advocate.

He wanted to kill Kim Sung-hyun first, and then marry Choi Yeon-soo in a proper and respectable way.

Her husband, Kim Sung-hyun, was always out fooling around and had several women on his side, showing absolutely no interest in Choi Yeon-soo, his wife who looked old and haggard.

In other words, since marrying Kim Sung-hyun, Choi Yeon-soo has maintained a clean reputation for many years, except for giving birth to a daughter for him.

“Prosecutor Lee, could you please let Jung-hwan go? I know he did commit a crime, hiring someone to kill is wrong, but our plan ultimately failed. Kim Sung-hyun was killed by another group of people. At most, we can only be considered to have attempted murder, right?”

"If you just let Jung-hwan go, I, I..."

Seeing that Lee Seung-hwan was in a good mood, Choi Yeon-soo spoke cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Li Chenghuan raised an eyebrow: "You're still hung up on that kid?"

Choi Yeon-soo nodded quickly: "After something like this, how could I dare to have anything to do with him? Prosecutor Lee, don't worry, I will sever all ties with him and will never go to him again!"

Choi Yeon-soo isn't stupid. To disobey Lee Seung-hwan at this time would be a sign of mental instability. She simply wants to take this opportunity to settle this matter.

Kim Jung-hwan was wrong, but not deserving of death. Besides, in the end, she was the one who brought trouble upon him.

Now she has figured it out. Since Kim Sung-hyun is dead, she no longer needs to live in the shadows of her life and can start over.

Lee Seung-hwan's expression softened slightly.

"You can let him go, but you need to make it clear to him that he won't bother you again."

Choi Yeon-soo was very happy to receive Lee Seung-hwan's promise: "I understand."

That's when.

An unexpected guest came downstairs.

Kim Jung-hwan, dressed in a bank employee uniform, couldn't wait to get off work and went straight to Choi Yeon-soo's apartment building.

It turns out that he had always cared about Choi Yeon-soo. After Kim Sung-hyun was killed, Choi Yeon-soo had called Kim Jung-hwan to tell him the news.

This made Kim Jung-hwan incredibly excited. He couldn't contain his joy while he was at work and couldn't wait to find Choi Yeon-soo. If Choi Yeon-soo hadn't advised him to restrain himself, he would have come long ago.

He finally got off work and immediately took a taxi over.

When he got downstairs, he saw a black Hyundai sedan parked at the entrance, with license plates from the prosecutor's office. His expression immediately turned serious, and his heart skipped a beat. Had something happened to Yeon-soo?

He quickly took out his phone and called Choi Yeon-soo, but it took a full two and a half minutes for the call to be answered. Choi Yeon-soo's voice came from the other end of the line: "Is it, is it Jung-hwan??"

"Yeon-soo, are you... are you home?"

"Yes, I'm here. What's up?"

"I want to come find you."

"...Huh? Why?"

"Didn't we agree that as long as Kim Sung-hyun dies, we can be together forever? Yeon-soo, are you going back on your word?"

"no……"

"what?"

"I, I mean, Jung-hwan, let's break up. Don't come here again."

"why?"

“Because my husband’s death has alarmed the prosecutors. They think my husband’s death is very suspicious and are investigating. They have already suspected me. If you are implicated, I will feel guilty.”

"I don't care, Yeon-soo. As long as I can be with you, I don't care about anything, even going to jail. Yeon-soo, please open the door. I'm right outside your door."

"Huh?! You, when did you get here?"

"Just now."

A woman's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.

Choi Yeon-soo said in a guilty tone, "Jung-hwan, I'm sorry, I can't be with you. You should leave, and we should never see each other again."

"Why! Didn't we agree that as long as we got rid of that bastard Kim Sung-hyun, we could be together forever? How could you break your promise!" Kim Jung-hwan said, tears streaming down his face. He had already thought of a certain possibility, but he was unwilling to believe it.

"Please open the door, Yeon-soo! Even if you don't like me anymore, we should meet and talk it out. Otherwise, I won't give up!"

"Jung-hwan, why are you doing this? I've told you, I'm a selfish woman. I agreed to be with you just to use you to kill Kim Sung-hyun. Now that Kim Sung-hyun is dead, there's no need for me to pretend anymore. Just leave. I really don't like you."

"No! Yeon-soo, don't lie to me. We were so happy together. I don't believe you could be so heartless. You must have your reasons, right? Yeon-soo, open the door!"

As he spoke, Kim Jung-hwan began pounding on the door.

Choi Yeon-soo seemed surprised that Kim Jung-hwan had actually come, and there was another flurry of activity on the other end of the phone.

A moment later, the door was finally opened.

The figure of Choi Yeon-soo, whom Kim Jung-hwan had been longing for, appeared before him. She was still as beautiful as ever after just a few days.

No, she seems even more beautiful than before. Before, she was pale, rarely smiled, and seemed to have never seen the sun, radiating a cold aura.

But now her complexion was noticeably better, and her face had regained some color, probably because she had just woken up. She was simply wearing a nightgown with a black coat draped over her shoulders.

"Yeon-soo, I missed you." When Kim Jung-hwan saw Choi Yeon-soo, he could no longer suppress his longing and was about to hug her when she suddenly dodged to the side as if startled, leaving Kim Jung-hwan empty-handed.

"Yeon-soo, you..." Kim Jung-hwan was very puzzled and aggrieved, not understanding why Choi Yeon-soo was so resistant to him after only a few days apart.

The next second, he glanced to the side and saw a tall, imposing man behind Choi Yeon-soo.

boom!

The moment Kim Jung-hwan saw this man, his mind went blank.

The ominous premonition in my heart came true.

His eyes were bloodshot, his face flushed red, and he angrily questioned Choi Yeon-soo, "Choi Yeon-soo, who is he?!"
