Flowers Are Bait

Chapter 211:

“Are your eyes on your feet?!”

Lee-yeon’s head turned as she was running as hard as she could.

She couldn’t remember how she got out of the house. Her lips were dry and her heart was pounding hard.

Kwon Ki-seok’s threat and Kwon Chae-woo plea. She didn’t have time to consider which was more shocking. The fear that she couldn’t fall into that ditch again made her legs move.

Lee-yeon grabbed her clothes and moved to where the noise came from. It was a subconscious choice to move into a crowd.

“Don’t you see the dog? Go catch it already!”

The ever green garden was dug up. There was a hole underneath a tree, its stump was scratched and flowerbed was a mess. Lee-yeon frowned as she saw all the flowers were broken.

She saw the neon vest guard team members chasing after dogs and understood what was going on.

It was a result of lack of management and dogs that weren’t controlled.

“It looks like they were frustrated.”

One of the members of the guard sighed.

“Ha... Looks like we’ll need to clean up within today. Ah, I hate it...”

The brown colour soil was covering the green grass.

“Right, there was a charity event by Mirae group scheduled next week outside, did you check?”

“MIrae group?” Lee-yeon couldn’t help but interject.

Startled by her intrusion, it took seconds for one of the guards to find his voice.

“It’s the ladies from the finance and politics hosting the event, and they’re a bit picky. So we have a lot of prepare but those dogs are really annoying.”

But how could he reach her? How could he hold her close like he used to?

“If I were someone else, maybe I would have found a way,” he mused aloud, though there was no one to hear. “If I were naturally kind and gentle...”

For him, it felt like he was wandering in the dark, but his desperation drove him to cling to her words. His sleep had become disrupted, and his body had grown hypersensitive. In this state, Kwon Chae-woo changed with each passing moment, much like the erratic light bulb overhead.

Should he lock up Lee-yeon in some mountain, or just buy a deserted island and remodel it?

But even while his head was swirling with craziness, he had the least amount of logic left in him to not turn himself into Kwon Ki-seok and Yoon Joo-ha.

He said he wouldn’t do anything forcefully, so should he go to the hospital right away to get himself check and give her the result? It might not be the worst thing to pick out what Lee-yeon needs.

He was thinking about everything then pulled his mask down to his chin and ask huskily.

“Where do you put it?”

“Over there.”

A few days ago, someone was beaten at the Club Luna.

The victim Jang Min-soo instantly called 911 but the police beat him instead, arrested him and locked him up, which caused trouble.

The live broadcast the Mr. Jang secretly started showed all of this and suspicion about relationship between the Club Luna and public servants arose.

There were many names from higher ups that were mentioned while they beat and ridiculed Mr. Jang, a normal citizen. The entire nation appalled.

But to the Kwon family, he was no ordinary citizen.
