Flowers Are Bait Chapter 248:

She caught the lighter in her hands. As the startled Lee-yeon turned her head, a picturesque landscape, painted like a painting, ca into view.

Holding the lighter tightly, Lee-yeon looked at the trees she had relied on and loved all her life. If you went up from here, there would probably be a tree garden filled with all kinds of green. It must be a completely different world from this place, filled with screams and the sll of blood.

Hwaido, a lush forest that covers the horror beneath your feet. Lee-yeon suddenly got sick of it.

Lee-yeon, quickly!

Jo Kyung-cheon urged, but she remained silent. Now might be the mont to choose people over trees. Her eyes briefly t with his.

Youll get caught if you hesitate, girl! I wont be able to help you then!

He urgently tore open the plastic-wrapped protective suit. In the underground of the classified Hwaido, monitoring researchers were everywhere. Soone may have already noticed an anomaly through the CCTV caras scattered throughout the underground.

Whether she knew about this uneasy feeling or not, Lee-yeon remained motionless.

The truth of this place must be revealed!

She continued to fiddle with the lighter. If she set fire to the tree garden and the flas gradually engulfed the Hwaido, the researchers and security guards residing here would have no choice but to evacuate. Amid people escaping, Lee-yeon wanted to pull out all those who were imprisoned underground.

But if she beca the arsonist setting fire to the tree garden

Where on earth is your mind wandering off to!

This ti, she would be going against her principles. She was a tree doctor, one who confronted the lumberjack man who killed trees. She has the of responsibility and pride that ca from understanding and cherishing trees more than anyone else.

That sense of duty has kept Lee-yeon alive all this ti. The ti spent dedicating her heart to washing away the dirty bloodline and sacrificing for the trees and naturewas the most powerful reason for her existence.

However, the mont she sets fire to the trees, that sanity will be damaged. She didnt let go of the lighter even as her trembling lips barely held it. Her heart was steadily sinking.

Then, Lee-yeons gaze, which had been looking at the landscape, was captivated by a purple flower.

Director, theres a Silk Flower over there. She said to him.

What nonsense is this out of the blue?!

Do you know the aning of that flower?

At that mont, Kwon Chae-woos voice seed to ring in her ears.

Trust .'

Lee-yeon held her breath and urgently grabbed Jo Kyung-cheons arm.

Ill make just one phone call.

What?

The eyes that had been shaking incessantly suddenly settled. Yes, he knew that Lee-yeon was stubborn and fiercer than fire. The mont she beca convinced that Kwon Chae-woo would be finding her, the trembling limbs gradually cald, and color returned to her pale face. The anxiety that had been as thick as darkness surprisingly began to dissipate.

Baby, lets trust Dad together I believe in Chae-woo.

But what if he doesnt co? Hes the one who left you once. Dont gamble for no reason.

Doubts echoed simultaneously, but Lee-yeon took a deep breath. She couldnt keep staring at the past wounds and judging the person in front of her.

Kwon Chae-woo, the person who had chased her frighteningly, even stopped the car in pursuit. Lee-yeon decided to follow only what she had seen and felt personally.

anwhile, Jo Kyung-cheon sighed deeply, wiping his tired-looking face.

Theres no communication underground. Both the internet and phone lines are completely blocked.

What?

We are being monitored.

The two of them didnt notice the red light entering the computers built-in cara at that mont.

Due to the fear of internal whistleblowing or information leakage, surveillance is strict. So, stop overthinking and put this on quickly. If you keep fussing like this, getting caught is just a matter of ti! Whether its a phone call or whatever, you need to get out of here first!

He tossed his phone to Lee-yeon.

Lee-yeon dressed in attire similar to that of a researcher and followed Jo Kyung-cheon. On one side of the glass wall, ominous black flowers blood profusely, and from the opposite room, the desperate screams of people echoed.

S-sto-op, pl-please!

Lee-yeon clenched her fist tightly, exerting strength on her temples.

Black flowers dont occur naturally. It beca evident to her that these rare plants, used as a key ingredient for the Sur compound, were being unnaturally produced.

Flowers blooming from human blood. Even thinking about it again, it was a strange and horrifying plant.

At that mont, soone opened the blinds and looked outside. Lee-yeon turned her head abruptly as her gaze t that of a fierce-looking man.

!

However, in a brief mont, she witnessed a person tied to a chair, resembling a bed. The grueso sight made her pulse throb violently beneath her throat.
