Chapter 980: Regret (14)
Even after Jo Yi-shin had left, Hirano Seiji was unable to leave right away.
He wanted to leave quickly, feeling as though he were being watched, but since he had been ordered to wait, he couldn’t move.
Hirano Seiji searched for Eungwang High's café on his device while waiting, but he couldn’t focus on the content at all.
About ten minutes later, he heard a voice from the voice receiver again.
[Jo Yi-shin hasn’t come out of the building yet. It seems the meeting place is inside the building. The person he’s meeting might be in a similar situation as Jo Yi-shin, so they could be discussing today’s events.]
The voice was soft and kind, but Hirano Seiji froze as though ice water had been poured over him.
The woman speaking to him was the highest-ranking official from Japan's team in this exchange competition and the exclusive coach of the unique genius from the Hojo family.
‘Have they already investigated Yi-shin’s meeting partner? So soon?’
Just before parting ways, Jo Yi-shin had casually mentioned his next meeting.
The person he was meeting was Cheon Eun-ha, a first-year student at Eungwang High.
Jo Yi-shin had said he had a meal scheduled with his junior, Cheon Eun-ha from the 0th class, and left the building. It seemed that he had arranged the meeting at a restaurant inside the building.
What made Hirano Seiji uneasy was the phrase "someone in a similar situation as Jo Yi-shin."
