The three of them went into Da Hye's newly-decorated study and while Ah Yeon was carefully placed on the soft white couch, both Da Hye and her father sat on the edges of a large wooden desk in front of her.
"So... What I am about to tell you is something that only people related to our family know, but since you got personally involved in this matter, I have no choice but to tell you too."
Da Hye's serious tone and somewhat cold voice got Ah Yeon all anxious again.
"... Alright, I'm listening."
Mr. Kang nodded at his daughter as if giving her his approval and after a short pause, Da Hye continued,
"Remember all the rumors about our family being connected to the Chinese Mafia? Well, they were not necessarily wrong, after all. My mother, whom you know as Kang Da Na, was not originally Korean, her real name was Ren Yin Yin, and her father, my grandpa, is Ren Xiao Hu, the current leader of the "Black Dragon" Mafia which is now the second in power in China.
