Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 322

* * *

The government negotiations regarding ‘On Ijo’s public disclosure’ proceeded slowly.

“As you know, there are many factors to consider. There are so many departments involved, aren’t there.”

National Security Office Director Choi Cheonho smiled slyly without giving exact reasons.

In the spacious VIP hospital room, On Ijo sat on the bed while On Suhyeong sat in a chair beside him, both looking at him.

“Even if it’s frustrating, please bear with us a little longer.”

National Security Office Director Choi Cheonho spoke arrogantly while gauging On Suhyeong’s mood.

Even though it wouldn’t be easy to stay calm with Doan Group’s stock prices fluctuating due to health rumors, he remained quite composed.

On Suhyeong seemed to know that Choi Cheonho was watching his reactions as he turned the pages of his paper newspaper and replied.

“Well, national affairs can’t be easy.”

The front page of the newspaper had large letters reading ‘Doan’s On Suhyeong clears all VIP hospital rooms for examination’ and ‘Chairman On Suhyeong’s health concerns.’

“As long as it doesn’t get unreasonably delayed, we’re fully prepared to compromise.”

So it’s still at a tolerable level for now?

Choi Cheonho twisted his lips in displeasure.

The reason for delaying On Ijo’s disclosure was purely due to VIP instructions.

Since On Ijo was quite a significant card.

The plan was probably to reveal that On Ijo was on their side before the election if needed.

He deliberately let out a hearty laugh and spoke exaggeratedly.

“You truly have great magnanimity, Chairman On.”

After saying that, Choi Cheonho glanced at On Ijo.

Despite it being his own matter, On Ijo didn’t seem particularly concerned.

‘Does staying silent here mean he’s tacitly agreeing?’

He looked at On Ijo curiously while thinking.

Doan was generally favorable toward the government, and there was no opposition from On Ijo, who had been his biggest concern.

Since the person involved was fine with it, even On Jurim wouldn’t easily interfere.

Besides, On Jurim was currently frantically busy with dungeon-related matters.

So if he could keep these two under his control, his assigned task would be complete.

This matter will end smoothly. It was when Choi Cheonho was confident.

Suddenly, pattering sounds came from outside.

It was the sound of a child running.

It seemed to be On Jurim’s adopted daughter.

Remembering the child who had been cutely wearing a uniform that came down to her thighs, saying she was going to the baseball stadium with her brothers, a smile naturally appeared on his lips.

They had sent the child out briefly since adults were talking.

Bang!

The door opened with a loud noise.

As expected, it was the child.

But in his hands was a newspaper, and tears were welling up in his big eyes.

“Han Gru?”

“What’s wrong?”

While Choi Cheonho was startled, On Suhyeong and On Ijo, who had opened their eyes wide upon seeing Han Gru, stood up simultaneously.

“G-Grandfather…”

Han Gru, who was pouting as if about to burst into tears at any moment, came running toward On Suhyeong.

On Suhyeong picked up Han Gru and comforted the child.

“What’s the matter?”

Han Gru, who had been burying his face in On Suhyeong’s embrace, sniffled and said.

“Grandfather… don’t be sick.”

“Ah…”

He saw the article. On Suhyeong tried hard to hide his troubled expression.

Recently, there had been a commotion outside about Doan’s affairs, so he had deliberately prevented him from watching the news.

Where on earth did he get that paper newspaper from?

On Suhyeong asked in a gentle but low voice that seemed to suppress anger.

“Who showed you this?”

“Outside… *sniff* The older sisters and brothers were reading it…”

On Suhyeong’s face hardened grimly.

Choi Cheonho frowned, realizing that the people Han Gru was pointing to were his own advisors.

Han Gru burrowed into On Suhyeong’s embrace once again.

His short arms wrapped around his grandfather’s neck.

“Our baby was worried about grandfather and cried. These are all ridiculous articles. The reason grandfather comes to the hospital is all to see Han Gru’s face, not because he’s sick.”

“Really?”

“Of course. Would grandfather lie to Han Gru?”

Han Gru shook his head.

“Then what about this?”

Han Gru pointed directly at the article.

On Suhyeong patted Han Gru’s head.

“If grandfather says he’s sick, there would be people who get fooled like Han Gru, right?”

“Yes.”

“That’s what they want. They want to make people think that the company is shaking because grandfather is sick.”

“Gasp!”

Han Gru drew in a breath.

“Because that’s how adults make money.”

Han Gru’s face became sullen.

“That’s bad.”

“So there’s no need to overreact to every little thing.”

As On Suhyeong was comforting Han Gru while folding the newspaper that had his face printed as large as a main gate,

A short article caught his attention.

Because it contained Han Gru’s name.

[Doan On Gru, From Orphan to Third-Generation Chaebol]

Below it was a vulgar subtitle that read, ‘How much inheritance will On Suhyeong really give to his adopted child?’

Crack.

Veins instantly bulged in the hand gripping the newspaper.

On Suhyeong patted Gru while quickly scanning through the article.

The content was exactly as the title and subtitle suggested.

It was an article so absurd it made him laugh bitterly, claiming ‘how much fortune Gru had seized by being adopted into Doan, but most of the inheritance would go to the family Jurim would create in the future, and what Gru would get wouldn’t amount to much.’

“It seems there are still people who don’t know how much Grandfather loves Gru.”

His words to Gru were gentle and affectionate, but his face, which Gru couldn’t see, had turned cold.

He immediately contacted his secretary and ordered them to cut all advertisements from that newspaper.

Meanwhile, On Ijo took the newspaper and quickly read through the article about Gru.

As even On Ijo’s expression slowly hardened, Choi Cheonho, sensing the ominous atmosphere, spoke up.

“I apologize, Chairman. I should have managed my people better…”

Then, On Ijo smiled coldly and said.

“Director of National Security, it would be best if you returned for today. As you can see, the child seems quite shocked.”

Choi Cheonho had heard about it before.

That the On Family had brought in an adopted child and was raising her like precious gold and jade.

But he never imagined they would show such obvious displeasure in front of him, the Director of National Security, over one child.

From the moment the child came in crying, the atmosphere had turned ice-cold, leaving Choi Cheonho extremely uncomfortable.

He cursed his advisory staff internally for carelessly handing the newspaper to the child and spoke up.

“No, I need to make up for today’s mistake to feel at ease myself-”

On Suhyeong, holding Gru who still had traces of tears, stared at him with terrifying eyes.

“We said today’s discussion ends here.”

It was a completely different attitude from before.

In the end, Choi Cheonho had no choice but to leave the hospital room as if being chased out.

This was serious. The entire situation had changed because of one small child.

To offend them when they’d come this far!

“Don’t any of you have brains? Huh?!”

He vented his anger at his advisory staff as he left the hospital.

The advisory staff, understanding the situation, bowed their heads.

“What should we do now?”

“It’ll resolve itself with time, so we’ll have to humor them until then. Tsk!”

Choi Cheonho still couldn’t gauge how far On Suhyeong would go for his granddaughter.
