Genius Manager Who Hears Voices - Chapter 31



Only Noblemtl

Episode 31

The eyes of the three people, excluding Heeseong, were focused on one place at the same time.

This is because Heeseong’s expression suddenly hardened at the sound of someone’s voice coming through the receiver just a moment ago.

“… … You want me to look at the article? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

-First, don’t ask or inquire and check the article first. Since we don’t have an agency, they’re all contacting us right now and it’s chaos! Check and call me right away to find out what happened, right away!

Before hanging up the phone, Kim Jae-han added in an earnest voice.

– Hee-sung, I really hope that’s not true. I really hope that it’s a mistake. If this is all true, then you and I… … Ha, no. First, check first and then contact me. Find out the facts properly.

Kim Jae-han hung up the phone, leaving behind only unintelligible words.

Kang Se-ra asked, looking at Hee-sung, who was frozen in place while holding his cell phone.

“What’s the call, Heesung? What’s the call that made you suddenly become so serious… … .”

“… … Well. He’s the PD in charge of this drama and he told me to check the article quickly. He asked me to check it and contact him immediately to see if it’s a false report or not.”

“A knight? What knight?”

Instead of answering, Heeseong unlocked the screen and went straight to the portal site.

And as soon as I clicked on the entertainment section and glanced at the headlines that appeared on the first screen, my eyebrows furrowed.

[Shock! Rookie Kim Ye-seul, a hot topic, reveals her past experience working in an adult entertainment establishment!]

[YouTube Recording with an entertainment establishment employee revealed! “Her stage name was Jia. She was a pretty and kind child.”]

[Kim Ye-seul, who is embroiled in controversy over working at an adult entertainment establishment, is currently out of contact. There is no agency, so there is no statement!]

[Kim Ye-seul, will she fall from the hot newcomer to the abyss? From dramas to commercials, everything is a mess. If she continues like this, she will rise to become the icon of betrayal of all time!]

Articles that were posted less than 30 minutes ago.

In that short period of time, all sorts of malicious and provocative headlines about Kim Ye-seul were written and occupied the entertainment section.

And the content was all the same.

That she has a history of working in the entertainment industry.

Heeseong turned his gaze to Kim Yeseul, gritting his teeth.

Then, her eyes shook greatly as if she had already checked the article.

“What is this… … . Is this all true, Heesung? No? This is a complete misreport, isn’t it?”

Kang Se-ra asked as if it was absurd.

At that time, no one other than Heeseong and Kim Yeseul knew about what happened.

Because it was something I had planned to resolve quietly from the beginning and there was no need to tell anyone.

So I didn’t tell Kang Se-ra, Yoo Joo-yeon, or the PD in charge, Kim Jae-han.

How on earth did this get into the ears of reporters?

Even the content and timing match perfectly, as if they were meant to be.

It means that someone went around to the media and reported simultaneously.

“I don’t think this is a false report. If reporters are flocking to this extent, it means there is definitely a corner that believes it. And they are saying this without even confirming with the person involved.”

This was the diagnosis of Jeong Won-ho, who knew the floor very well.

He looked at Heeseong and asked.

“It seems like there is something inside the story since the two of you don’t seem to have much of a difference in expressions. Could you tell us? We need to know exactly what the situation is so we can help you.”

There was a reason why it had to be that way, so Heesung confessed the truth to the two people.

It was definitely something to be angry about, but I didn’t have the luxury of time for that right now, so I started by assessing the situation right away.

“This was reported by someone with a clear purpose. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have exploded simultaneously like this. The reporters thought it was a reliable source, so they uploaded it without even checking the facts.”

“If you look at the fact that the recording was uploaded to YouTube, isn’t it that conducted the interview themselves? These guys don’t hesitate to break the law for the sake of views. They’re a gathering of complete trash.”

Jeong Won-ho shook his head at Kang Se-ra’s story.

“That would only be possible if there was a tip-off. As of now, it’s more credible that someone recorded the conversation and handed the file over to you. They probably even calculated that reporters would spread it around.”

Jeongwonho looked at Heeseong while rubbing his chin.

“Isn’t there anyone who can guess? I don’t think there are many people who would remember Ms. Kim Ye-seul so clearly in a place where they only stayed for a day, and even for a few hours.”

“By any chance, is it possible that he is the person who made Yesul work there? He holds a grudge against Heesung and is planning to take revenge on him now.”

Heeseong nodded in response to the two people’s questions.

“Probably not. If he did, he would be the first to be suspected. He would not be able to do that recklessly as long as he has a weak point. The detectives were there too.”

There was a reason why I didn’t make a big deal out of it back then and just ended it with a threat.

If he is subjected to legal punishment, he will have nothing to fear, so there is a possibility of retaliation, as Kang Se-ra said.

However, if you end up quietly sorting things out by finding the other person’s weakness, the other person will feel even more relieved.

So, I blurted out on the spot that I was going to go abroad so that I would never be involved again.

As of now, it seems highly unlikely that that will be the case.

“Actually, I went into another room as a substitute for a short while that day… … For about 10 minutes? Then the guests got too drunk and the room was cleaned up. Surely they don’t remember me… … ?”

That’s right. He said that he had to go into someone’s room for a moment before Heesung arrived that day.

But Heesung shook his head again this time.

“I have a guess. It’s not common for someone to have this many journalist connections. Even if they didn’t report it directly, they would have compiled a list and handed it out. They would have selected only the most trustworthy people who would be able to spread the word immediately.”

Heeseong looked at Jeongwonho.

“Sir, I think that what you were worried about earlier may have happened earlier than expected. Before we could prepare for it.”

Jeong Won-ho, who mentioned both concern and preparation just a few minutes ago.

But even he had no idea that those words would become seeds like this.

Heeseong said, getting up from his seat.

“Since the situation is like this today, let’s get up first. I think we need to deal with it first.”

“Okay, Heesung. Don’t worry about us and let’s go quickly. And don’t worry about Yesul too much. Okay?”

“If there’s anything you need my help with, don’t hesitate to contact me right away. I’ll look into it myself.”

“Yes, thank you, sir. You too, Sarah.”

After greeting the two people, Heesung left the room with Kim Ye-seul.

-What? You think Cheon Si-eun did something like this? What are you talking about out of the blue? Why did you do that?

“It’s not out of the blue. There’s a good reason for it. I heard he already had a previous record. Didn’t you know?”

-Power? What power… … Ah! No way?

“Why, what came to mind?”

-No, the director called me earlier and told me something like that. Jang Man-cheol, the head of One Class, is no ordinary person. He told me to be careful because there might be some aftereffects. If that’s the case, then surely… … .

“No matter what, it’s not something that can be resolved with just an explanation. Even if an explanation is given, no one will believe it, and it won’t be easy to restore the image that has already been damaged. Instead, we should turn our attention to something else.”

-You’re turning it the other way? Where?

Hee-sung parked his car on the street and looked up at the building in front of him.

“We are the victims, and we intend to let the world know that there is a hidden perpetrator in this incident. We will thoroughly expose not only this incident, but also all the other atrocities that have been committed. The explanation will come after that.”

-If you’re the perpetrator… … Are you really trying to confront Jeong Man-cheol head-on? Are you trying to storm One Class Entertainment?

Heeseong spoke to Kim Jaehan while looking at the signboard of One Class Enter in front of him.

“Do you think they’ll just admit it? It’d be quicker to show them that it’s an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.”

Hee-sung checked the watch on his left wrist and continued.

“Anyway, just give me one day. I’m checking the facts, so I’ll give you an answer as soon as I check. Right now, all the inquiries are coming from my brother. Just until today.”

-Ha, I’m going crazy, really. I don’t even know what I’m going to do. Anyway, I trust you? I’ll trust you and block the higher-ups no matter what. You have to solve it. You have to.

“I’ll contact you, bro.”

After hanging up the phone, Heesung pulled his car into the parking lot of One Class Entertainment.

And after parking in one place, I got out of the car and looked carefully at the entrance to the building.

‘It’s certain that this is the case. Now all I have to do is listen.’

There was a reason why I went straight to One Class Entertainment after dropping Kim Ye-seul off at home.

It was just to hear the voice.

Up until now, there has always been a voice that tells the future when solving cases, and it is heard more directly when it is close to the person involved.

Hee-sung, who was convinced that Jang Man-cheol was behind this incident, thought that if he came here, he might be able to hear some clues.

But then it happened.

“Oh, that’s right! That was a bar that allowed girls to have a second round, right? She would have gone for a second round, too. Then, she was lucky enough to catch my eye, and she washed her past clean and stepped into the entertainment industry. Trust me, reporter. If I release this right now, it’ll be exclusive to you, right?”

A man leaving the lobby of One Class Entertainment is having a phone conversation with an unusual content.

While walking, he was constantly sticking square business cards on the windshields of cars parked in the parking lot.

“Yes, yes, it’s a reliable source. I’m the one who got that recording, me. I’m telling you, I found this information by going all over Gangnam myself? Oh, but reporter, there’s a tip-off fee, right? How much do you think you’ll get? Hehehe.”

Following him, Heeseong picked up the business card stuck in the wiper.

Then, there was a large sign that said, ‘First Class Detective Choi Pil-hwan’.

A detective agency? So, does that mean Jang Man-cheol even mobilized a detective agency to carry out this case?

Are you still controlling everything by using that guy named Choi Pil-hwan?

Heeseong’s eyes narrowed in an unexpected direction.

Now that it had come to this, I felt like I had to chase after that man.

But at that time.

This time, someone’s voice was heard not from in front, but right next to me.

There was no one else here but the two of them, and that voice was only heard by Heesung.

[Representative Jang, that guy has a ton of videos. They were all taken with a hidden camera. They were all taken of just one person.]
