Episode 44

“Why is that? What’s going on?”

An Jeong asked, seeing Hee Sung hesitate as he handed over his cell phone.

“Oh, no. I suddenly got a message.”

“Take your time. There’s no need to rush.”

“Yes, senior.”

After apologizing to An Jeong, Hee Sung turned to the driver’s seat and checked the message once more.

‘You think the case is strange? What’s wrong with the request?’

What Heeseong gave to Choi Pil-hwan was basic information about Amy, the time she was adopted to Atlanta, and the adoption agency in Busan that carried out the adoption at the time.

Of course, that information was just what was received from Jeongwonho.

Hee-sung was going to reply by text, but decided he should call instead, so he asked for An-jeong’s understanding again.

“I’ll just make a quick phone call and be back, sir.”

Heeseong came out and moved a little away from the car and called Choi Pil-hwan.

After a few beeps, Choi Pil-hwan’s voice was heard along with a loud noise.

-Yes, Mr. Jeong Hee-seong! Did you see the text I sent?

“Yes, I received a text message and am calling you. But what are you talking about? You say the request is incorrect.”

– That’s exactly right. Yesterday, I received a request from Mr. Jeong Hee-seong and sent one of our agents to Busan in advance. When I arrived and received the report, I found it quite strange. Is it true that the daughter who was adopted to the US requested to see her biological mother? Is it true that she hasn’t seen her in 30 years?

“Yes. Just as I sent it to you.”

– Oh, really. I don’t know what’s going on. This isn’t the first time this has happened, but I’ve never seen anything like this before. First, let me get to the point. The biological mother already asked where my daughter was adopted. And she came to find out herself. Now, the daughter’s side is asking for it, so I wonder what the hell is going on. It’s not like they’re playing hide-and-seek.

“Your biological mother came looking for your daughter? When did she come?”

-I don’t know, that’s it. This is something I dug up with great difficulty. Originally, they would never tell you about this kind of thing. And they shouldn’t tell you. We have the know-how we’ve accumulated over many years, so we were able to find out by any means necessary.

“No, that’s not important right now. When the biological mother asked where her daughter was adopted, didn’t the adoption agency just tell her? Then they would have contacted her first and asked her opinion.”

In such matters, no matter which side asks, the other party’s opinion must be asked first.

If it was Amy who had to approach them without any information about her biological parents, it would have been easier to contact them if it was her biological mother who had inquired first.

Even if you don’t know Amy’s contact information, you probably still have her adoptive parents’ numbers.

But why hasn’t our meeting been successful so far?

-Wait, wait. Our agent was digging that up and just got a text message reporting it.

You keep saying you’re an agent, but who are you talking about?

Weren’t the president and employees alone at Ildeung Detective Agency?

As I was thinking that, Choi Pil-hwan’s voice came over the phone again.

– Hey, this case is quite complicated. Our agent found out that the birth mother withdrew her decision. When we contacted the adoptive home to ask about their decision, they suddenly said no, saying they didn’t want to do that. They just asked if she could tell them where in the US she went.

“Just the region? The United States is so big… … . Moreover, even if you saw their faces after 30 years, you wouldn’t be able to recognize them. You wouldn’t know anything about them, not even their names, except for the memories from when they were newborns.”

-That’s what I’m saying. Ha, I think I got this case wrong. How do I continue to look into it?

I was curious to see if CEO Jeongwonho had even approached this point.

Even though we have outsourced the case to several companies, not all detective agencies will approach the case in the same way.

In any case, it seemed that finding out who the biological mother was had become more important.

“Yes, Mr. Choi. Now that things have come to this, I think the most urgent task is to find out about your biological mother. If we can find out who your biological mother is, we can somehow connect the two of you.”

– I don’t know. Even if I find out who my biological mother is, I can’t guarantee what will happen after that. The fact that she’s trying to find her daughter alone now, 30 years later, without anyone knowing, clearly means that there’s a reason. Otherwise, why would she have tried to turn back instead of taking the easy way?

“What do you mean? A story?”

– When you take on this kind of work, you often see it. Because of the attachment to bloodlines or emotional aspects, you want to look for them, but you can’t tell people about your current situation. For example, you’ve already started a family, or you have to live while hiding your past. Judging from the fact that you asked to know at least where you live, it seems like you really want to see them.

Heeseong, who had been chewing over Choi Pil-hwan’s words, soon understood the context and spoke.

“Then perhaps the biological mother has already seen her daughter’s face. Where and how she is living, and what she has grown up to be like.”

-It won’t be easy, but if the desire to see it is that strong, then it’s possible that it could happen. For now, we’re just guessing.

If Amy had already been seen by her biological mother, she wondered whether their meeting would have been possible.

This is because if the daughter had intended to look only at him without his knowledge from the beginning, it is possible that he would have refused.

But since we’ve come this far, I think we should give it a try, Heeseong said to Choi Pil-hwan.

“First of all, please look into it as I asked. You’ve worked hard, so please try a little harder.”

-Why are you talking so kindly again? You were threatening me earlier. If someone keeps coming and going like that, it’s useless. Huh? Anyway, aside from being professional, we’re also corpses, so we’ll dig them out and contact you. You never know when you might get a call, whether it’s night or dawn, so keep your cell phone turned on.

“Yes, then go in.”

After hanging up the phone, Hee-sung started looking for Jeong Won-ho’s number to inform him of this fact.

I don’t know if he’ll tell Amy right away or not, but I have to share the progress anyway.

But then the back door of the van opened and An Jeong-geun came out.

“Why are you out already? There’s probably still some time left until senior filming.”

“I just got a call from Director Cho asking if I could change the order of the scenes. He said he talked to the writer and decided to just leave out the middle scenes. I folded the blankets neatly, Jeong Hee-seong.”

“You can just call me Manager Jeong, senior. Oh, and my contact information is… … .”

“I’ll take a picture for you. Give me your phone.”

Since they had been talking earlier, Heesung got her contact information first.

After giving him the number, An Jeong looked at Hee Sung with a much more relaxed face.

“Thanks to you, my condition has improved a lot in that short period of time. After taking a pill, all my body aches seem to have disappeared. Thank you. I will invite you over to my house for a meal sometime soon. Now, we are a family.”

“Yes, thank you, senior. Then I’ll see you again later. I’ll pick you up when filming is over.”

“Okay, thank you, Manager Jung.”

Han Jeong-woo’s scene was about to be finished, but stabilization was scheduled to continue filming until the evening.

In this drama, which is about a palace struggle, she is the main character and has a significant role as the main contrast to the female protagonist.

Since I was assigned to be the manager while working on this project, I could start working at any time.

“Oh, I said I would contact you.”

After taking a quick look at the stabilization going into the filming set, Heeseong took out his cell phone again.

I looked up CEO Jeongwonho’s number and called him right away.

-Oh, Mr. Jeong Hee-seong. I was just about to contact you.

Jeong Won-ho answers right away as if he had been waiting for the call.

Heeseong also opened his mouth right away.

“Did you also receive the message, sir? Regarding Amy?”

-About Amy? What are you talking about? That’s not what I was trying to contact you about.

“Oh, then… … ?”

-Are you on set now? I remember you saying you were going to the Gyeonggi-do set today because of the actor’s filming schedule. Is filming already over?

I’ve been in contact with Jeongwonho quite often recently.

So I once mentioned my schedule in passing.

As expected of a manager who cannot easily overlook even the smallest things, he had a remarkable memory.

“No. I’m still on set. My schedule has changed, so I’ll probably be on set late today.”

Heeseong opened his mouth again and asked.

“But why is the filming set… … .”

– Amy said she wanted to see how Korean dramas are made. I happened to have a late lunch somewhere in Gyeonggi-do, and I thought I’d stop by if Jeong Hee-seong was still around. If the timing is right, it would be nice to have dinner together.

I thought that if it was the combination of Jeong Won-ho and Amy, rather than someone else, they would be the center of attention from the moment they appeared on set.

If it’s CEO Jeong Won-ho’s network, there are probably enough people he knows to stop by the filming set at any time, even if it’s not him.

Moreover, the moment the person who came with me reveals that he is a Hollywood casting director, I can already picture what kind of reaction he will have.

Heeseong answered happily.

“Yes, of course, sir. Then I will wait.”

It was a little over 30 minutes later when Jeong Won-ho’s car arrived at the filming location.

As expected, as soon as he entered the filming set, the director and staff recognized him and came up to greet him one after another. They were even more surprised by the introduction of Amy that came out of his mouth, and they all showed similar reactions.

And while they were running around the set, only one person had a stern expression on his face.

At that moment, it was Jeong Hee-seong who heard a voice that appeared out of nowhere.
