Peace yow!

---------- 

 

 

He knew.

 

He ing knew.

 

But he just kept silent about it and didn’t bother to ask Mom.

 

How did it happen? Is it intentional or really just an accident?

 

And what does Dad and this Zhang Wu Fan have?

 

He stopped in front of me and gave me a smile narrowing his eyes and I ing swear it was the same. “Is this the beautiful lawyer you are talking about Bao Lian? Atty. Yuri Kwon… It is a pleasure to meet you, daughter of Liu Han Geng.” the way he muttered Dad’s name is strange.

 

Are they rivals before?

 

For what?

 

Women? School? Money? Popularity?

 

Before I embarrass myself and my family, I bowed at him too and gave him a smile. “It’s a pleasure to meet you too Mr. Zhang. This is Jung Sooyeon, my friend and the sister of my client Jung Soojung. I believe Bao Lian already told you about our business for today.”

 

He nodded at me and smiled, gesturing for us to have a seat on the couch. He took a bell on his desk and shook it, soon Ah Ping went inside the room and bowed to him. “Ah Ping, please bring some refreshments for our guests and some snacks.”

 

“Yes Master..” the butler went out the door and Zhang Wu fan’s attention came back to us.

 

Yuri, you came here to ask for their cooperation. Think about your case first before jumping to another matter…

 

But it really bothers me.

 

“Yuri…” Sooyeon woke me up from my trance tapping my knees. I didn’t know I was staring at Mr. Zhang that it creeps them out.

 

How can I not stare at him!?

 

HE EXACTLY LOOKS LIKE AMBER! ONLY MANLIER AND HAS A GRAY OR ASH COLORED HAIR AND BEARD WHILE WEARING ROUND SPECS.

 

“I… I’m sorry…” Yuri. Keep your together and do your job… Keep this job related. This is all about Soojung keep that in mind.

 

“Atty. Kwon, is there a problem? Are you feeling under the weather? Would you like me to call a physician?” he asked me worriedly. I shook my head and cleared my throat before starting my spiel.

 

You can do this Yuri.

 

Set it aside first, there’s a proper time for that.

 

“Mister Zhang… Miss Jung Sooyeon and I are here today to ask for your nephew’s cooperation about the case I’m handling.” I opened my portfolio bag and took out the documents I prepared to show him.

 

“And what case is that Atty. Kwon that you have to fly all the way to Shanghai just to ask my nephew Yixing?”

 

I stood up from my seat and walked near his table laying out the folder I have. “Almost a year ago, Jung Sooyeon’s younger sister was attacked in a back alley of the bar she works on as a dishwasher. She was by this young man named Oh Sehun…” I opened the folder for him and laid the photo of Sehun for him to see and a document listing his profile and police report. “She was able to stab this devil on his chest with a broken bottle for self defense, filed a case of . But the accused countered her petition with a Frustrated Murder suit saying that the victim, Jung Soojung wasn’t but was the suspect.” his brows were furrowed while reading the documents I presented to him. His jaw tightened when he saw a printed photo of the CCTV footage where Zhang Yixing was clearly captured in the background drinking.

 

“This Oh Sehun is the son of the Oh Industries?” he asked not taking his eyes off the document.

 

Bao Lian nodded at him and spoke in my behalf “He is, Uncle. The only son and heir. We have a pending partnership with their company that they have been pushing for a long time now.”

 

He looked at me with his eyes full of questions “What happened to the young lady, the victim?” I showed him a copy of Soojung’s mug shot. Including my future sister in-law’s profile and school documents and photo before the crime happened. Im basically showing to her what Soojung's life was before everything was taken from her.

 

“The case was dismissed with the reason that there is no solid evidence on her claim Mister Zhang..”

 

His eyebrows arch at me obviously baffled with what I said “What do you mean by that Atty. Kwon?! She was ! The medical exam, witnesses,… surely there is plausible evidence on what happened.”

 

“Sir… all of it were tampered and forged. My sister's medical report from the kit we submitted at the hospital was tampered and forged indicating that there was no that happened. The CCTV footage at the street where the crime happened was sabotage and we don’t know where the people involved are hiding now.” Sooyeon told him and looked at me for a moment before looking straight at Mister Zhang. “They tarnished my sister’s reputation and reverse the situation. The Ohs made her look as the bad person and that Oh Sehun was the victim giving evidences that the devil of the guy won’t do some horrendous act. And now… she’s inside that prison because of defending herself. The person who did that evil act to her is free and living his life to the fullest, while my sister who has a bright future ahead of her before it happened is suffering.” I can see tears forming on Sooyeon’s eyes but she kept it altogether.

 

Mister Zhang was holding the photo where I encircled Zhang Yixing’s image looking at it intently. I can see the rage on his eyes with what he just heard. I need to fuel it more to get his approval.

 

“We are here because it was your nephew Yixing that didn’t cooperate with the case filed by the Ohs. He didn’t give his statement supporting Oh Sehun’s claim to innocence. I need… no, we need to get his side and finally uncover the mask that this good for nothing man have. We want him to be a witness on the re-opening of the case, our goal is to reverse the sentence and make Oh Sehun pay for his sins.”

 

He was staring at the photos, the documents I presented to him. His face shows disappointment and embarrassment on what his nephew did. I gave him my last bullet, my iPad showing the footage that I’ve been keeping as my last remaining hope if all my prepared documents fails.

 

“We need to know from him if he witnessed the crime… because from what I’m seeing here on this scene, he was there but kept his mouth shut.”

 

I played the video file and he watched the footage we retrieved with the help of Detective Kim. It was recorded by a dash cam from a car that is parked near the spot where Oh Sehun Soojung. It clearly shows there how Sehun attacked Soojung, the struggle and fighting the young lady painstakingly did. The act…. that made Mr. Zhang closed his eyes in pity and anger.

 

The footage that Detective Kim gave to me is our main evidence. It was hard retrieving it since the owner of the vehicle was not cooperating at first, afraid for his safety. It was an arduous process, checking the CCTV footage of the parking lot and getting all the plate numbers of the cars parked near the area where the crime happened. We checked the names of the owners and their address, going to their houses one by one and requesting to view the copy of their dash cam.  

 

Repeating your story over and over again is tiresome but we have to, for the sake of justice. Tae and I promised each other that we will solve it, we will bring justice to Soojung. The justice that our friend Hani didn’t get when she became a victim of one stalker chaebol heir who did all horrendous things to her leaving her hanging on the ceiling, lifeless.

 

“As you can see, your nephew appears to be watching the crime with his group of friends. They all ran away in panic when they saw that Oh Sehun was stabbed by Soojung, the victim able to run inside the Club to ask for help. All of them seems to be afraid to be drag on the crime, your nephew flew here in Shanghai a day after this happened. We checked with the airline company and we have the proof Mr. Zhang, his flight detail and other information we have gathered.”

 

Heavens please hear me out…

 

Please let him say yes.

 

He laid the tablet on the table and covered his face with his hands, looking so loss for words. I stood in front of him with pleading eyes full of hope.

 

“Sir, I’m begging you… please. For the sake of an innocent life that is suffering now inside that prison because of an act that obviously is made because of survival. Jung Soojung is the victim here and not the culprit, a young lady whose dreams and bright future was taken away by a man who had the nerve to call himself an ‘honorable man from a respectable family’. Please, convince your nephew to cooperate with us.”

 

He took a deep breath and uncovered his eyes, looking so ashamed of what he just discovered. Mister Zhang reached for the bell on his right side and shook it to call his butler, moments later, Ah Ping came inside and bowed to his master.

 

“Master Wu Fan…”

 

He stared at me while he commanded Ah Ping. “Please get Yixing right away… Tell him to immediately report here right now.”

 

“Yes master..”  

 

I watch as Ah Ping went out the door closing it. I looked at Sooyeon and our eyes met, hope evident in her eyes. I know the journey is long but we are near the finish line.

 

 

Bao Lian gave her a cup of tea and also stood up to give me a cup. He has a smile on his face giving me comfort and support. I thanked him and took a sip of the tea while standing because if I just seat on that couch, all the courage I brought with me all the way from Korea will just melt away.

 

I took a glance at Mr. Zhang and I saw his brows are furrowed while looking on something at my tablet. He suddenly froze on his seat, his gaze fixed on the lock screen wallpaper of my iPad.

 

He looked at me, utterly shock and wondering who is the person beside me on that photo smiling happily, grinning.

 

That’s another round of talk for us Mr. Zhang. For now, let us focus on this case first.    

 

I approached his table and took the iPad with care and gave him a kind smile while still looking at me baffled. “I’m sorry, you have to see that. That is my sister Amber… my meimei.” he cleared his throat and fixed his tie loosening it while staring at the cup in front of him.

 

“Uncle Wu Fan, are you okay?” Bao Lian asked him with a worried face. He waved his hand gently and smiled at his nephew.

 

“I’m fine Bao Lian… I’m fine.”

 

I sat beside Sooyeon and held her hand. It was cold and clammy…

 

“it’s going to be okay Sooyeon…”

 

She nodded at me and squeezed my hand feeling her nervousness inside.
