White Mask was not who they expected him to be.He was small boy, looking to be around the age of sixteen with strange white-hair that could not possibly be natural. There was a playful smile on his face, as if he had something planned up his sleeve. Just like many youths, his outfit was inspired after hip hop and he was wearing an over-sized fit.
When he first walked into the room, Minhyun couldn"t help but raise an eyebrow. The hacker who"d been rising in ranks and penetrating through million dollar firewalls was this kid? However, after his initial, shock, Minhyun was back to normal. After all, he too was known to be especially intelligent when he was younger. Their situations were no different.
In the small private room at the restaurant, this was a sight to behold.
"My name is White Mask, nice to meet you Chae Minhyun," he greeted."
Minhyun shook his hand before sitting down at his seat. "Likewise."
For White Mask to reveal his face so easily, there was something very strange about his motives. Minhyun decided to take caution. There were several personals and body guards outside in case of an emergency.
Secretary Kim was also in the room, silently waiting in the corner with another guard.
"I knew my customer was going to be a high executive at MH, but I didn"t expect it to be you," White Mask exclaimed. He leaped inside of his chair without any hesitation. "It"s a nice surprise to see the CEO in front of me."
White Mask came in expecting to see an old, ugly man like most clients. But to see the MH CEO was quite surprising. Of course, he didn"t need to come in blind but he was confident enough to trust the person behind the scenes.
Minhyun ignored his childish remarks and ushered the waiter to take his order.
"I don"t need this type of talk. Tell me what you know."
White Mask wasn"t bothered by Minhyun"s strict tone. Of course, he knew he was trifling with someone who could possibly kill him in this room and get away with it. He was aware of the difference in their status"s. Nonetheless, due to his person situations, he was still giddy. "Straight to the point. Well, I don"t mind to much. Where do I begin..."
Then White Mask stuck out his tongue. An urge to flow around fooling around him. "But first. Let"s eat."
Minhyun knew what kind of game this boy was playing and he wasn"t going to play along. "Either you give the information or we are finished. You have five seconds."
After his sharp words, White Mask could feel a sense of danger overwhelm him. Slowly, he could feel himself pushed into the corner. For the first time, he gulped, before letting out a nervous laugh and raising his hands up in defence. Where was this immense bloodthirsty coming from? "Wow there. Okay. Okay. I will."
Maybe fooling around wasn"t a great idea. He still wanted to live a few more years.
"Anyways Mr. Impatient, when I got my first initial invitation to take part in the project I was quite interested. The Moon Group is one of the biggest families in Korea, who wouldn"t be shocked to see someone genuinely want to take them down. I was."
White Mask let out a childish smile. "So I began inspecting right away. Their personal security for initial doc.u.ments at home and stuff was quite tough to break, but who am I? White Mask! After constant hard work with no breaks taken I was able to take a glimpse of the other side of that wall."
Minhyun cracked a single finger, letting the sound echo through the air. To White Mask, this was a signal that the CEO was getting more impatient by the second.
"And while going through my search, I found something really interesting..." He let out a giggle. "You see, the Moon siblings weren"t always just a sister and brother duo. Moon Jaeun had a twin sister as well."
"Moon Jihee," White Mask whistled. "The perfect twelve year old child of the Moon Group who unfortunately pa.s.sed away from a car accident. Sounds familiar?"
Now the conversation was getting somewhere. Minhyun knew who Jihee was. This incident happened a long time ago while he was at school in New York so he didn"t hear it during the time, but after researching about the Moon group recently, he had come to read about it. But why was this great news? Was there more to her death?
"Now I caught your interest!" White Mask teases. Amus.e.m.e.nt played around in his eyes. "You see, after skimming through hidden doc.u.ments about her death, there was something that made me dig in deeper. I don"t know why, it was a gut feeling, but I"m glad I did."
"The doc.u.ments were almost perfect, the injuries on her body perfectly aligned with the car crash. However, unlike most cases there was no pictures of her corpse and injuries. Of course, I can skim over that but that was a red flag. I checked the driver who killed them. It was a 40 year old man with no family and limited records. But after finding out his name and ident.i.ty, I found out that he was released from prison four years after the incident. Why? Well I"m sure you"d get what I"m hinting at by now."
If what White Mask was saying had proof then this was an odd situation. There was no way, a murderer of a famous family"s daughter would get out of prison easily. They would rot there for the rest of their life.
Unless they were paid to be released of course.
Of course, there was a chance that the bailers was not the Moon Group. But this personal information wasn"t what he expected to hear.
"Then I hacked into the hospital doc.u.ments about the Moon group and I found that Jaemin and Jaeun were admitted to the hospital for psychological treatment. However, I noticed something very peculiar. Since the Moon Group owns a technology company and they are affiliated with the hospital, all their doctor"s notes were in digital format. Although files on the hospital server were deleted but I did extra work and hacked into the psychologist"s computer and lookie here. Turns out he kept his doc.u.ments secretly."
White Mask raised his tone slowly, getting more excited as time pa.s.sed by. "After looking at his reports, everything became so clear."
"One of the Moon siblings murdered their sister."
