Money Loving CEO's Detective Lover

Chapter 314: The Wrong Turn (14)

"What?" Minho exclaimed. Gayoon had just called him and informed that Danny was arrested. She explained to him how Doyoung had requested to file a complaint and they ended up rescuing Siwan when they went to arrest Danny. She also told him about the video they found, which was the nail in the coffin amidst the mounting evidence against Danny.

"Who's with Jina?" he demanded.

"I left my ahjusshi and Shinjin with her because the hospital is a hotbed for spirits," she said over the phone. "She'll be safe with them. I also told Mina to check up on her. She's on her way."

Minho let out a sigh. At least Jina was not alone and taken care of. He would have to thank this mysterious ahjusshi of Gayoon's. The guy always popped up whenever their family was in trouble and despite his reluctance to meet Minho, the latter was truly grateful to him.

"I'll finish off this rotten meeting and leave in an hour," he stated. "I'll call you when I get off."

"Alright," she said and hung up the phone. Minho put his cell phone away and cursed out loud. He was waiting at the hotel lobby for the CEO of AMP Corps to show up but the moron was running quite late. If Gayoon and Jina had not insisted, he would not have attended this meeting at all. 

"Hwang Minho?"

Someone called his name. Turning around, he saw a tall woman with dark hair and a large hat was looking at him with mild curiosity. Her large eyes lit up with interest as she walked towards him. Minho felt that she looked familiar but he could not recall where he might have seen her. He never paid attention to people outside his family unless they brought in money for his company.

"Pleased to see you here!" the woman chirped. "I hope you are well."

"I'm sorry but who are you again?" he frowned. "I really can't recall you."

His straightforwardness would have offended a few people but the woman only let out a soft laughter.

"I have heard about your tendency to forget people easily," she chuckled. "I am not surprised."

She held out her hand. "Kirishima Anna," she greeted. "I was Mr. Hyoui's partner when he tried to sell you a land. Remember that one? Your...er...Secretary mentioned at the meeting that the land belonged to Mr. Hyoui's wife and he was selling it without her consent."

Jongin said all that? Minho wondered. When did he turn out to be that smart?

When Minho still could not recall, she added, "Your secretary also said that the previous owner was murdered on that plot."

"Oh!" Minho finally remembered the time when he made Gayoon accompany him to a meeting and she had exposed the seller. There was a woman with that guy as well but Minho was so distracted by Gayoon that he did not even notice the other person in the room. He never looked at any woman other than Gayoon anyway.

"Yes, I guess you were there," he said. "What brings you here, Ms. Anna?"

"I was here to broker a land with another company," she replied. "Are you waiting for someone? I'm about to order some coffee. Why don't you join me?"

"No thank you," Minho said. "If my client doesn't show up within five minutes, I'll leave. My daughter is at the hospital."

"You have a daughter?" Anna's smile faded a little. "I didn't know you were married!"

"I live with my girlfriend and daughter," he said loudly, uncomfortable with the woman's sudden interest in his personal life. 

"Oh," she said. "Is the same girl who accompanied you that day?"

Minho frowned at her. "I did a little check on your company and I know she isn't your girlfriend," Anna went on. "And her face was on the papers when she caught the CCK. I figured out that she wasn't your secretary."

Her matter of fact tone was unnerving Minho. He might not recall their first meeting but he was sure that he did not like her then and he still felt that way. There was something strange about her gaze which made him uncomfortable and if Gayoon was there, he was sure that the woman would end up with a bloody nose. 

As if listening to his prayers, the CEO of AMP Corps showed up at the right moment.

"Mr. Hwang, I am so sorry for the delay!" he exclaimed. "Shall we start our discussion in the meeting room?"

"Yes!" Minho replied, not bothering to look back at Anna. She was quiet as Minho rushed into the meeting room with the CEO of AMP. Her eyes narrowed in a cold fury.

She picked up her phone and dialed a number. "It's me," she said. "I have some important news. It seems that the Seer we were targeting has given birth to a child. A girl. But that's not all"

With her gaze still on Minho's back, she added, "The father is Hwang Minho. Kim Suna's son and a Transporter."

There was a pause on the other side. Anna waited for a response but to her surprise, the person was cackling.

"You're happy?" she frowned. "Why?"

She listened carefully, her eyes widening in shock. "We can use her?" she asked. "But we still haven't found you a body-"

The person on the other line said something which made even Anna's hair curl. "Are you sure about this? Hwang Minho will retaliate if we do something like that."

"But then again, it will be the perfect opportunity to strike," she agreed as an afterthought. "He will walk right into our trap. I'll set it up just like you had planned."

She hung up the phone and smirked. If all goes well, they will be able to use Hwang Minho's daughter to open the portal and unlock the other world for once and for all.

..

Danny was being transported to the police station by a pair of policemen in the back of a police car. Doyoung had taken Siwan to the hospital while Gayoon was at the crime scene, looking for more evidence. He was motionless and in shock.

"What a butcher!" one policeman said out loud in disgust. "Killing his own son and countless other kids! Even demons have a heart."

"And he's supposed to be a doctor," the other policeman grumbled. Danny sat there, listening to them without saying a word.

"Men like him are the reason why humanity is dying in the world!" the first policeman spat. "Even serial killers got nothing on you, asshole!"

"Careful, Shin," his partner cautioned.

"It's true!" Shin claimed. "He-"

There was a sudden wheezing noise coming from the back. Danny had double over in pain, his eyes white as his pupils began to dilate. His chest was heaved upwards and he was trying to grab it.

"What the hell?" Shin frowned and pulled over at the empty highway. "Is he having a heart attack?"

"I'll call an ambulance!" his partner said. Shin nodded and both of them got out of the car. His partner was dialing the hospital while Shin opened the backseat and rolled Danny over to check.

"He's still breathing but ruggedly," he said out loud. "And-"

Suddenly, Danny lunged at him and grabbed his gun. Before Shin could tackle him, Danny shot him dead. His partner, who dropped his phone, was about to take out his gun but Danny was quicker. He shot the officer straight at the heart, killing him. Shin was barely alive but bleeding heavily.

Danny grabbed the keys from his pocket and unlocked the cuffs. Panting, he looked down at the cop who was barely alive. Without another thought, he shot Shin point blank, ending the latter's life.

"Now," he whispered. "It's your turn, Doyoung."
