While leaving office, In-Ha saw their family doctor visit the chairman’s office. He discovered that Tae-Oh might be hiding there.
After In-Ha left, Tae-Oh asked Joong-Mo to speed up their plan before it was too late. Joong-Mo met with Park Sajin and recalled how their fathers founded the Kang Oh Group.
