"Does this make sense? Attempted murder, at my school!!"
The Cheonghwa High School foundation chairman's office.
Because of yesterday's incident the school had been turned upside down from the morning.
Chairman Gu Jayeon, who had been travelling in Japan, came home in a rush the moment she heard.
"I— I'm sorry!"
Principal An Jongwuk bent at the waist to ninety degrees.
He is at the point of going mad and leaping out of his own skin.
His retirement age.
This year is the last one.
He wanted to hold out well and retire honourably.
And things keep breaking.
Son of a bitch! Why go apeshit with a knife, of all things!
Lee Jangyong, driven out of the school a little while ago.
It was fortunate at least that it was after lessons.
He had gone at the golf teacher and Ha Tae-ung with a sashimi knife in his hand, and been beaten up in self-defence.
The whole circumstance of the incident was clearly caught on the CCTV record.
The security office staff on duty at the time were every one of them dismissed.
At any other ordinary school it is a situation that would already have made a splash across the press.
But this place is Cheonghwa High School.
It was handled as quietly as possible.
Lee Jangyong's degree of injury was severe enough that he could not even run.
Detectives from the Gangnam police station came in swiftly, with a prosecutor to handle the aftermath, and the business was finished at speed.
The legal part was taken on by Attorney Kim Jeongryul, who served Ha Tae-ung as young master and whose face An Jongwuk knows too.
The business was wrapped up that way.
Hearing news of the incident, An Jongwuk knew by instinct that a quiet retirement was over now.
Instead of a safe retirement, only a dishonourable one remained.
Knock knock.
Just then a knocking sound was heard outside the chairman's office door.
"Who is it!"
Gu Jayeon asked in a prickly voice.
Her tone was extremely on edge.
The business is wrapped up, but if Cheonghwa Group…
