Chapter 64: Where Beans Are Planted, Beans Grow
"Why are you being so nice to me today?"
Cha Eui-jae lifted his head and met those violet eyes. Despite the slight curve of his lips, there was a cool aura about him.
[Trait: Poker Face (B) activated.]
'Crazy guy. He's incredibly perceptive.'
Fortunately, the Poker Face trait had automatically activated. Cha Eui-jae, under his expressionless face, recalled his suspicions about Nam Woo-jin. Did he know everything and bring this up intentionally? Did Nam Woo-jin hint something to Lee Sa-young? After all, they were in a cooperative relationship.
However, he soon dismissed his suspicion. Back then, Nam Woo-jin was... purely observing Cha Eui-jae as he listened to Lee Sa-young's past.
The sudden appearance of Lee Sa-young's associate should be suspicious, yet there are no questions about his identity or doubts about him— no curiosity about this mysterious figure who appeared out of nowhere with such skill. The white gaze that seemed to penetrate through Cha Eui-jae's very existence was like...
'As if he was confirming my value...'
Cha Eui-jae swallowed silently. Though it was supposed to be a reward for the drug incident, giving away two black tickets might have been proof that he had passed Nam Woo-jin's test or criteria.
Nam Woo-jin seemed like someone thirsty for new knowledge and truth. So, he would have analyzed the newly emerged Cha Eui-jae. But with just a brief observation, the information he gathered would not be perfect enough to be called 'knowledge.'
Being inherently a scholar, he wouldn't place an unfinished book in his library. If this assumption were correct, Nam Woo-jin wouldn't have mentioned their private conversation to Lee Sa-young.
Therefore, Lee Sa-young just had an uncanny knack for noticing things.
