" Come in! " yelled Choi Kong.
" Thank you, " thanked Eun Soo.
" What do you want to say? Why are you here to see me? Go be with that useless bum! " bombarded Choi Kong.
" I came here today to inform you that we found something fishy about the company's collapse. Choi Young and I think it might be due to Choi Soon. He must have done something and we are on the verge of finding evidence, " explained Eun Soo.
" Choi Soon? How would my son target his own company? Are you crazy? Prove it to me when you have evidence, don't utter nonsense right in front of me! " Choi Kong argued.
" I know it seems unbelievable, but Choi Young has found the guy. We did some research and found out that he was the one stopping all the supplies and cutting off those business deals! " added Eun Soo.
" Choi Young, Choi Young, Choi Young, why isn't he here to tell me all this? " asked Choi Kong.
Eun Soo hesitated to speak the truth, but she still did.
" He is hospitalised. Yesterday night, he met with an accident. " said Eun Soo. Choi Kong was shocked and speechless for a moment.
" How did it happen? Is he alright? " asked Choi Kong concernly. Eun Soo could sense that he still loved his younger son deeply, but just refused to show it.
" Erm..don't worry, he will be fine. He just needs to be hospitalised for a few days, " assured Eun Soo.
" Just now you were saying that Choi Soon might be involved in the collapse of the company? " clarified Choi Kong, as he started to believe in Eun Soo.
Hwa Min stood outside Choi Kong's room and eavesdropped. She was astonished to find out what her son did, but refused to believe it despite the convincing facts provided by Eun Soo. She didn't want her husband to doubt Choi Soon too, hence she stormed in.
" Stop it! " shouted Hwa Min. her sudden booming voice shocked Eun Soo and Choi Kong.
" What are you doing here? " fired Choi Kong, who disliked being disturbed.
" Both of you are talking about Choi Soon right? How can you not believe in our son and believe this stranger? " threatened Hwa Min.
" How did you know what we were talking about? " questioned a shocked Eun Soo. " You were eavesdropping? "
" This is my house, I can be wherever I like and do whatever I want, " reminded Hwa Min.
" It is enough. Choi Young found some evidence to prove Choi Soon's mistake. She is merely sharing them with me, " explained Choi Kong.
" You would rather trust Choi Young than trust Choi Soon? He worked hard for so many years and do all Choi Young did was to leave home, " insisted Hwa Min.
" I know what to do, there is no need for a reminder of the past events. There is an outsider here, do you want everyone to know every single detail of our family? " replied Choi Kong, irritatedly. Hwa Min was pissed off and she stormed out of the room to find Choi Soon.
" You were saying that Dad and Eun Soo are discussing about the reason behind the collapse of the company? " questioned Choi Soon.
" They kept badmouthing you and your dad even scolded me! " Hwa Min avoided her son's question.
" Mum, answer me! " shouted Choi Soon.
" Yes, they said that you engaged some guys to stop the supplies and the business deals. Choi Young even sent Eun Soo here to tell your father about it. This is ridiculous! Why can't he come over himself and let a stranger handle this! " explained Hwa Min who missed the earlier part of their conversation.
Choi Soon collapsed into his chair, looking lost. His mum noticed his unusual expression.
" What is there to worry about? We all know that Choi Young must be lying, " said HwA Min confidently. Choi Soon looked even more worried, banging his table in anger. He got up to close the door and shut the binds.
" Don't tell me what Choi Young said is true? " asked Hwa Min.
Choi Soon gave a slight nod, enough for his mum to notice.
" How could you have done such a thing? Were you threatened? Tell me, I will help you. Just tell me, Choi Soon! " persuaded Hwa Min, eager to know the reason.
" All these years, the company is so stable and thrives so well because of the presence of dad. But we all know that in his heart, he still wishes for Choi Young to return and take over the company. After I took over, the sales remained the same or dipped slightly and dad thought all I could do is to maintain the sales or let the sales drop a little, I couldn't bring the company a further step up. I wanted to show dad that I am a true businessman, I can overcome problems, so I purposely got the company into such a situation and saved it myself. When Eun Soo came in, I knew she wasn't any business talent or anything. I just wanted to make use of her in letting others believe that she saved the company, so that no one would doubt me! " explained Choi Soon thoroughly who started to regret his actions.
" Then how did Choi Young know? " Hwa Min asked again.
" He followed me and the guy I worked with, " answered Choi Soon.
" Don't worry Choi Soon, they don't know the reason yet, they haven't found out the actual reason. Remember not to tell anyone! I will think of a way to help you. Tell me who are the guys. Do you still contact them? " Hwa Min assured her son.
" Mum, what if dad finds out? Eun Soo, she is really resourceful, she can track things very quickly and easily. I want the company, I can't let Choi Young have it. I devoted everything to this company, whilst Choi Young merely lived the way he wanted all these years! " panicked Choi Soon.
" Rest assured! I will ensure that you have the company. Just promise that you don't step into this matter any further!" ordered Hwa Min who knew that this time, her son was in the wrong.
When Hwa Min returned home, Choi Kong was waiting for her. He questioned her, asking where she went. He had already knew that she met with Choi Soon in the company after the workers in the company told him that she visited Choi Soon that afternoon. She denied everything and asked about his discussion with Eun Soo. Eun Soo told Choi Kong about Choi Young's competition against Choi Soon and he wanted them to stop it immediately.
" You didn't know they were having a competition? " questioned Choi Kong.
" Choi Soon didn't say anything. Why do you want them to end it? What's wrong? " replied Hwa Min.
" The person with the most number of business deals will win. This is a one sided competition, Choi Young would definitely lose, so there is no point! " stated Choi Kong.
" But he must have agreed to it before the competition even started! " Hwa Min pointed out.
" This is nonsense. Do you know the reason for this battle? It is because of Eun Soo. " shouted Choi Kong.
