Chapter 275
Duyoung nodded, saying “Yea, I agree.”
“By the way, it looks like they are intending to steal your research material to the end,” said Hyunwoo.
Duyoung was of the sa opinion.
But he wasn’t worried at all. It would be almost impossible for anyone to find his material, and even if they succeeded in stealing it, they would find it hard to use for their own purpose.
Duyoung already applied for a patent on Super Green.
There was little possibility that they would produce products similar to Super Green because the number of patents he applied for was over 160. He found out all the microorganisms that reacted not only to gasoline but also to diesel, kerosene, and bunker C oil.
Besides, he applied for patents on the test results of the reaction related to the change in the environnt such as electric current, sunlight, and temperature.
No matter how good of Singyong’s developnt team created, it would be difficult for them to apply for so other patents than Duyoung’s.

Munsik just felt heavy with the lack of progress in his team’s research on green oil.
“Any update? How soon can I get the result?”
“Sorry. It is a dangerous chemical formula that can cause an explosion if any mistakes are made. That’s why we are slow in the experint. We’re taking extre caution.”
Munsik was disagreeably surprised. He hired a professional handler to take the risk of stealing Duyoung’s research material on green oil, but the developnt team didn’t fully make use of it.
Besides, what Duyoung developed was Super Green. It would be superior to ordinary gasoline in terms of the high performance for its price. Wasn’t it natural for Super Green to have more explosive power then?
A dangerous chemical formula ant that it could be genuine green oil.
Nonetheless, his developnt team was dragging its feet because they were scared.
He felt if his team kept delaying the experint like that, Duyoung’s STM would steal the show.
“How stupid they are! How can they develop super energy when they’re so chicken-hearted like that? Let go and check it.”
“Chairman, it’s dangerous. It could explode in your presence.”
Munsik was aware of that, too.
But he knew that if they experint in small quantities, it would not explode. As a chemistry doctor himself, Munsik was as much well versed in the field as the manager of the developnt team.
“Shut up!”
Munsik headed for the developnt room.

Early the next morning, Hyunwoo had breakfast with his family. Among them were Kuroda and so of the workers at Hyunwoo’s Mom.
After eating breakfast, Duyoung habitually opened a newspaper as he did.
Stunned, Duyoung called Hyunwoo.
“What the heck is this? Co here, son.”
“Why? Any good news?”
“Munsik was at the scene of the experint...Explosion...Hahaha.”
Duyoung was about to say sothing but stamred, barely holding back laughter.
Hyunwoo could figure out what his father was trying to say. Though he doubted that it would happen, it was obvious that it did, given his dad’s expression.
According to the report, Singyoung led by Munsik Choi has recently been actively developing super energy with an ambitious goal.
In particular, its CEO Munsik Choi sotis leads the research efforts as he is overly ambitious. Yesterday, he participated in an experint but an unexpected explosion took place.
Though nobody was killed in the explosion, three people including Munsik suffered minor burns.
There was a picture showing Munsih being transported to a hospital, covered in soot from head to feet. It was what Duyoung exactly imagined.
What was more laughable was that Munisk was being carried on a stretcher.
It was for promotional purposes. Naly, he wanted to show the public that he had such a passion about the developnt of super energy.
At the end of the article, there was so praise of Munsik’s patriotic ambition to make Korea a country with plenty of resources.
Duyoung and Hyunwoo distorted their faces at the sa ti.
“Damn it. I hate the story.”
“Nobody knows. If Munsik had succeeded in the experint, the dia would have praised such a an guy as a hero,” said Duyoung.
Kuroda, sitting beside them, heard what they talked about.
Shaking his head with a bitter expression, Kuroda said,
“In any country, the press, politicians, and businessn are all in the sa boat. It’s hard to find accurate news.”
“People like us should join hands more strongly than ever despite such deplorable things,” said Duyoung, clenching his fists.
In the anti, Munsik didn’t sit idle.
He had very light burns because of the experint. He had no reason to give up his ambition about super energy.
And he trusted the experint data that he stole from Duyoung. Though he failed in the experint due to an unexpected explosion, he was absolutely sure it was still the Super Green that Duyoung had developed.
“It’s Super Green. It’s only natural that it’s so sensitive to experint with. We can make a success if we took more caution.”
Munsik did the experint again based on Duyoung’s material. He was convinced that he could apply for a patent on that if he succeeded.
But the manager of the developnt team was strongly opposed.
“I really feel strange about it. The data this ti is a total fake, I think. It looks like they are making fun of us.”
“Shut up, man!”
Munsik pushed ahead with the experint. And he again experienced another explosion in less than a week, but he didn’t give up, continuing the experint.
After all, he didn’t get anything close to super energy.
Only then did he realize sothing.
‘I was completely deceived by them!’
He was so ashad. He felt soaring anger that he could not hold back.
He clenched his fists and resolved,
‘You guys dare make fun of ? Do you think you can get away with it safely?’
He was full of desire to take revenge on Duyoung and his n.
But they were no longer easy prey. Hyunwoo, Duyoung’s son, was the president of a top company in Korea.
As for KOVE DREAM, the number of its employees and its sales were not that impressive, but it had a very good na among the people.
Ani & Funny was also very famous. Many people said the company was the growth industry of the future that could create lots of jobs for more than ten years.
Though very small in size, N&C Korea was also owned by Hyunwoo.
Besides, Hyunwoo’s Mom, a breakfast catering factory run by his mother, also had a good na among the general public.
All combined, Hyunwoo’s companies were more powerful than Singyong. In terms of the number of employees, Singyong was superior to Hyunwoo’s companies but lagged behind it in terms of profits.
In fact, Singyoung could not go from being in the red to black because of its financial difficulty.
Munsik heard that Hyunwoo was eting a series of politicians recently.
‘I should not touch him thoughtlessly. Let make a case against him and drive him into a corner right away.’
Munsik needed a lot more tips about him to realize his goal. He needed to monitor not only Hyunwoo but also those around him.
He gave the intel manager special instruction.
“Make a special team to monitor Hyunwoo. Try to find out where he is going, where he sleeps and eats, and who he is eting. If you find anything significant, let know imdiately.”
“Got it. By the way, what about Super Green? Do I need to continue the search for the relevant data?
Munsik shook his head. Duyoung was expecting what Munsik would do, so it would be foolish to try to repeat the sa mistake.
“Just give it up as a bad job. Do a thorough investigation of Hyunwoo alone instead.”
“Yes, sir.”

Hyunwoo was on the go, crisscrossing the country all the ti. Sotis, he had to travel to Pusan and Incheon to check the business status of KOVE DREAM, and sotis, he went down to the offices of Ani & Funny in Seoul, Kwangju, and Daegu.
What made him busier was the new Haenim School under construction in Tapgokri, Sosan City.
It was nearing completion. With so more finishing touches on it, everybody would be able to move soon.
The existing Haenim School in Hwasung would be used as a dormitory of the employees of Hyunwoo’s Mom and Ani & Funny.
The STM factory under construction in Daesan Port was also inching toward completion.
But the process of installing facilities as Duyoung originally designed took so more ti as he made sure there should be no errors in the construction because its raw material and final products were all flammable.
anwhile, Hyunwoo never failed to visit Yu Zuung’s house.
Hyunwoo got her a house in Hwasung and Seoul respectively. Her house in Hwasung was a single ho in a remote village, while the other one in Seoul was a high-end condo.
Though he didn’t visit it often as before, he still stopped by once a week.
No matter how busy he was, he tried his best to stay with her.
In the anti, he was not as careful as before when he t her. In the past, he created passwords and disguised himself to keep his eting with her secret.
But as he was accustod to it, he just relied on the existing thods to et her instead of replacing them with new ones.
One’s tail is bound to be stepped on if it’s long.
Besides, Yu Zuung was famous not only in Korea but also in China, Japan, and Arica.
Naturally, she was the subject of dia attention all the ti. Her every move was photographed by the press.
Besides, there was even a mole shadowing her recently.
The mole didn’t rely on the typical cara that caran used for their coverage.
He monitored Yu Zuung with not only an ultrasmall bugging device but also an unmanned drone.
The purpose of the mole was clear.
What kind of relationship did she have with Hyunwoo?
The mole could find it out without any difficulty. When she took her laundry to a dry cleaner’s, he secretly replaced one of the existing buttons with a bugging device.
She t Hyunwoo without knowing at all that a bugging device was hidden on her dress. Not only inside her car but also in her house were several bugging devices installed in secret.
As a result, even her private conversation with Hyunwoo was recorded into the bugging device.
The mole curled his lips, murmuring, ‘I guess my client will be satisfied.’
