From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

941 Prove Me Wrong

June was back in Minjun's house. Fortunately, Lena didn't lead her to her bedroom anymore. Instead, the two of them were inside her office, the scent of old books filling his senses. He breathed in deeply and smiled. "I really want to wipe that smile away from your face." June smirked and crossed his arms in front of his chest. "Minjun!" he exclaimed in a joking tone, causing Lena to sigh in frustration. She clicked her tongue. "Stop that." "Will you still complain?" he asked. "No," she said through gritted teeth. June looked at her with amusement; however, at the same time, he also saw her effort to make it up to Minjun. He truly wished it would last a long time now. "So, what do you want me to do again? Sign you to Phoenix Entertainment?" she asked, still sounding reluctant. June's smirk widened as she looked Lena in the eyes. "That was the deal I made the other day," he said. "You rejected it then, so now, I have a better proposition." "Goodness," Lena whispered. She already had a bad feeling about it. June looked too smug for his own good. "We need to proceed with my original plan," June continued, nonchalantly looking at his nails. "First, you would help me with my trial," June said. Lena sighed. "Alright," she muttered. "I can do that after signing you with Phoenix. We have top-notch lawyers. As long as the evidence isn't blatant, then it's no problem." "Oh, I don't need you to sign me under Phoenix Entertainment," he said, confusing Lena. She clicked her tongue. "What do you mean? How can I help you that way?" June shook his head. "For the next days, Phoenix Entertainment is going to go to flames." Lena frowned. "You're still not making sense." "Is it too hard to understand?" June asked, chuckling. "It is what it is. Someone has gathered enough evidence against your company, and they will release it within the week. I don't want to sign with a failing company!" he teasingly said. Lena scoffed. "You're talking as if your career is going oh-so-well, huh? Whatever. How do you even know this?" "Let's just say you're not the only one with connections." Lena let out a deep breath and raked her fingers through her hair. She still found it ridiculous, but it felt like June was telling the truth. "Tell me more," she said. "The internal struggles of your company would be exposed. Corruption. Molestation. Tax evasion. I know that you know a lot, but there's also a lot more that you don't know." Lena frowned. These were issues she took seriously. How could it go over her? "Oh, don't blame yourself," he quickly said. "Your empire is way too big, and they're in the hands of greedy people. Even if they act like loyal dogs in front of the big boss, they'll inevitably bite the hand that feeds them in the end." Lena couldn't argue with that. Phoenix truly was that big of an empire. "And who's going to do that?" Lena asked. June then reached into his backpack, grabbed the information against Kim Young Do, and gave it to Lena. Lena read through the first few pages, her eyes widening when she saw the information that June held. These were the deepest, darkest secrets of Phoenix Entertainment. "H—how did you get this?" June smiled and glanced to the right, where Mr. Klin's photo was seen. For a second, it seemed like the portrait winked back at him; however, he snapped back to reality when Lena called his name. "June, answer me," she said, sounding desperate. "I have a lot more information," he started off. Lena frowned. "So, you're the one who's going to release this to the media?" June shook his head. "Of course not," he answered. "You're not my main target." "Huh?" Lena asked, sounding very confused. "There's a person who wants to take over your company—to become the biggest entertainment company in Korea. He is also the person who will expose some of these pieces of information soon." "Who?" Lena asked. June smiled. "Your boyfriend." Lena paused.

"Lei," June confirmed, rendering her silence. They were stuck in silence for a couple of minutes before Lena burst into chuckles. "You're kidding," she said. "Lei? Lei is a good man. He's satisfied with his job. He's not greedy like the others." "Aren't villains the most charismatic characters?" June asked, tilting his head to the side while looking at Lena. Lena's eyes narrowed. "You're charismatic," she said before she could stop herself. "Why, thank you," June smiled. "I'll take that as a compliment." "Anyway, I know that you got a good thing going on, but I'm here to warn you that there is really something about that guy that you don't know." "He wants your company," he reiterated. Lena clicked her tongue. "Again, how do I know you're telling the truth?" June shrugged. "You have a date tomorrow morning, right?" Lena frowned. "How do you—" Then, her mind strayed to Minjun, causing her to shake her head. "That kid," she whispered. "And what about it?" Lena asked.

"Plant that in his car," June instructed. "In that file, there is some information that only I have. Then, you'll see that it would be released to the public faster than the speed of light." "Are you insane?" Lena exclaimed. "Why would I want to expose these things to the public?" Kai raised his eyebrows. "What's the matter?" he asked. "I thought you trusted Lei very much. Lei is a good man. He is only interested in Azure, right? What are you so scared of?" Lena opened her mouth but closed it again, biting them in nervousness. Then, she spoke after a couple of seconds. "And how do I know that you're not the one who will release this? As you said, you're the only one who has this information." June leaned against his seat. Then, his smile softened. "Because there's some information about me there, too," he said. "Most that I don't want to be released to the public. Most that shouldn't even be released from the public!" Lena frowned and went through the file, frowning when she saw June's real name as the title of one of the narratives. Her breath got caught in the back of her throat. "Just try it," June said. "If the information gets exposed, then you'll know if I'm telling the truth. Then, you'll be more confident trusting my words." "If I'm bluffing, then you know that Lei is a good man. You've got yourself a good boyfriend." Lena pursed her lips, not saying anything anymore. "However, before you do any of that—ask him about children." Lena looked at him, hoping he would elaborate.

June smirked, shaking his head. "Just do it."

Lei hated kids.
