You Have Been Defended [EN]: Chapter 565

[Give me the card value, Cherry: The culprit has been caught, lol]

[Once Upon a Time: lololol ‘That Force’ was C.S.J. (initials of the orphanage) lololol]

[Chris Park: So, the adults who were with her at the Munyeok Terminal have some kind of relationship with the orphanage, which means we should assume A didn’t just run away…]

[Seungtak: True, that van driver seems to be the key point. I feel like if we catch him, everything will unravel. That guy is the one who caused the dump truck accident, right?]

[ㅗMyungHwaPharmaceuticalㅗ: But that van driver is also in contact with someone from C.S.J.? lololol Who is ‘That Force’?

cownew: It’s me. I did it.]

“To continue, after that, Min-soo got on the van after listening to A’s words of comfort. And after a short time, she got off again and left the alley with the orphanage representative. And throughout that whole process, there was no conversation between the orphanage representative and the van driver.”

“So, to summarize what you’re saying, attorney, we can assume that the orphanage representative arranged for Min-soo and A to meet.”

“Yes, that’s right. What we can infer from this is that the van driver was in regular contact with the orphanage representative. If the orphanage wasn’t frequently in touch with the van driver who brought A, how could there not be a single word exchanged? If I were them, I would have asked how A was doing.”

[MOONBUCKS: Of course;; If a runaway ward is relying on an adult, it’s normal to check with that person to see if the ward is doing well lololol Of course, if ‘That Orphanage’ is normal lololol

BabySquirrelJonghyun: If there was no conversation at all, as the attorney says, that means they were regularly hearing about A’s condition… But then what about what they told the police? lololol

Handcream: They cried about how difficult it was to contact her, but now it’s all been exposed, right? lolololol]

“Exactly. If they weren’t in regular contact and there was no conversation, then we have to assume that the orphanage had no interest in A. But wasn’t that orphanage known for its excellent ward management and welfare?”

If they were in regular contact, they lied to the police, and if they weren’t in regular contact, it’s negligence.

Whichever they choose, the House of Angels cannot avoid responsibility.

“Yes. But the orphanage claims they were very worried about A, so they weren’t uninterested. They wouldn’t have lied to the police, would they? If it turns out in the investigation that they lied, the orphanage would have to worry about its very existence.”

“So, the facility never mentioned to the police that there was an adult who was taking care of A. What about this?”

“Sometimes there are people who rationalize editing the truth as not being a lie. I wonder if they didn’t commit such an error.”

[cownew: No lololol Attorney lololol You’re cornering them and beating them up, aren’t you lololol There’s no way out lolololol

Cha Joohan: lolololol I want to learn that way of speaking lolololol

ApolloWorshipper: C.S.J., are you watching? You’re facing an existential crisis ㅠ]

“Anyway, what we can tell from that meeting is that there was a certain agreement and information sharing between the two. That means the orphanage acknowledged that the van driver was taking care of A.”

“So, is the van driver A’s guardian? Do you think A was living with the van driver?”

“I think they were living together, but maybe not. Maybe he was just someone she was in contact with. In any case, it’s reasonable to assume that the van driver and the orphanage representative were cooperating in A’s care.”

To be exact, it would be right to say they were in cahoots [conspiring together secretly].

But right now, I can’t directly prove the relationship between the van driver and the orphanage.

So, I should refrain from definitively calling them accomplices on the broadcast.

Because it would undermine the credibility of my statements.

“Right. Then another question arises. You said that A seemed quite cooperative when she got in the van. So, can we assume that A didn’t listen to the orphanage representative but did listen to the van driver?”

“We can assume that.”

“So, earlier you said that the adult men who were with A at the Munyeok Terminal were the forces that tried to kill you. So, even if the orphanage is not related to those forces, they acknowledged such bad people as A’s guardians.”

“That’s right. If the orphanage wants to argue that entrusting A to a criminal group was not a careless act, they can prove that the van driver was a lost relative of A. If he were a relative, I would have judged that I could entrust A to him without further verification.”

[ㅗMyungHwaPharmaceuticalㅗ: Doesn’t seem likely at all… lolololol

Tears of the Minwoo Party: Looking at it, this attorney seems to predict all the scenarios that C.S.J. might think of and then refute them in advance lolololol

Lee Min Young: He’s just messing with them lololololol]

“But even if he were a relative, there’s a problem. A asked us for help, saying she was alone in Gangwon-do. There are trustworthy relatives around A, so why would she do that?”

“Exactly. No matter how we try to fit it together, it’s all strange. To solve that question, frankly, there’s only one answer: the contents of the email you sent are false.”

“If the contents of the email are false, then why would she ask us for help?”

“The possibility of it being bait becomes very high.”

“If the contents of the email are false and the possibility of it being bait is high, then who is the van driver, the adult who was with her at the Munyeok Terminal?”

“It would be the forces that tried to kill you.”

“Why would the forces that tried to kill me maintain a cooperative relationship with the orphanage representative?”

“Ha, I’m afraid I’ll be sued again if I say it myself?”

Jo Bong-joon feigned innocence.

We all agreed not to speak definitively before going on the air.

Of course, that didn’t mean we decided to stop the viewers from doing so.

[Teddy Bear: No lololol The attorney is speaking so seriously, but why is it so funny lololol He just seems to be calmly messing with C.S.J. lololol

Choi Soyoung: Even though he’s speaking as if assuming that C.S.J.’s claims are correct, the irony is that it’s being proven that C.S.J. is lying…

BringBackTheHandsomeAttorney: From now on, I’m unconditionally on our attorney’s side. I feel like I’ll get crushed if I’m on the other side lololol

Choi Jonghyun’s Wig: I have to be on the same side too;;

cownew: There’s no way out. The attorney’s words are all correct. I sent A as bait to kill the attorney. I’m sorry. Please execute me – Go Sang-joon]

This time, there were no chat comments particularly objecting.

There were so many chats that I couldn’t see them all, but there were no words that caught my eye.

I was embarrassed by the excessive praise, but I decided to interpret it as meaning that we were dealing with the situation much more logically than the House of Angels.

“Also, there’s one more suspicious point. Looking at the situation at the time, their only purpose was to have Min-soo and A meet. But why did they meet so briefly in that old van? There are many fast food restaurants, restaurants, and cafes nearby.”

“That’s right. I didn’t even think of that.”

“Also, wasn’t A resisting going back because she didn’t like that orphanage? But why did A contact the orphanage representative, whom she dislikes, to meet? A is a first-year high school student. If she wanted to, she could have contacted her close friend Min-soo and met alone. She roamed Gangwon-do to meet me. There’s no reason why she couldn’t come to the high school she used to attend alone.”

[Tears of the Minwoo Party: Wow, when you say it like that, it’s really suspicious lolololol It’s really, really strange lolololol

Jin Semin: Super suspicious;;

Cha Joohan: Why are they meeting so secretly when they’re letting friends meet?;; As the attorney says, they could just meet at a nearby hamburger place lololol

IWantToEatGwamegi: Is A in a state where she can move freely? If the adults are moving around to make them meet, Min-soo and A must have been very close, but what high schooler wants to meet their friend for the first time in a while with a bunch of adults tagging along?]

I suddenly wonder how the House of Angels will explain the meeting in the van.

Knowing that Sung-yoon has already told the police everything, I wonder if they have prepared for this point as well.

But I can’t think of a scenario that will satisfy everyone.

What I can think of right now is that Jung-min hurt her leg and they gave her a ride to the meeting place.

But just because you have a cast doesn’t mean you can’t go to a restaurant, so it’s not an appropriate response.

If they say she couldn’t move on her own because she was addicted to drugs, that means they already knew she was addicted to drugs, right?

“Even if the van driver just gave A a ride, why did the orphanage representative have to be there? Well, let’s say the van driver arranged the meeting because he wanted A to return to the orphanage. Then why was the orphanage representative outside the van? The orphanage representative didn’t even talk to A.”

“That’s right. I want to think of the relationship between that orphanage and the van driver as being okay somehow, but no matter how I try to put it together, it doesn’t fit.”

[Choi Jonghyun’s Wig: Is that what you want to think? lolololol

ApolloWorshipper: lololol It’s not

LightBulb: lololololol You like it more the more suspicious it is!!!!]

“Min-soo didn’t even know that he was going to meet A that day. Considering all these conditions, this meeting was arranged through an agreement between the van driver and the orphanage representative. Of course, even so, they could have met in a normal place under the supervision of each guardian, but it was strange that they chose such a place. Therefore, I can only conclude that they chose this method because they didn’t want to be seen by others.”

[Kim Hyun Ah: It’s also strange that there’s a reason why they shouldn’t be seen… lololol

lmaolmao: Why shouldn’t they be seen lololololol Even if they’re meeting with all the adults, what’s wrong with that???

WhoOpenedTheDoorLikeHwangHyunHee: lololol I’m really getting a little scared… What on earth is involved that it’s like this…?

Cha Joohan: But the attorney is amazing too. How many things are you figuring out just by looking at that one meeting scene?

IWantToEatGwamegi: That’s right, he’s really awesome…]

“What’s the reason why they shouldn’t be seen by others?”

“I was able to find out without much difficulty. In the image that viewers are seeing, it’s blurred, but in reality, A’s complexion was very bad. She seemed to have lost more than 15kg [approximately 33 pounds] in a month, and I only heard a short conversation, but I got the impression that she was talking quite incoherently.”

[cownew: Please say it’s not true ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

ㅗMyungHwaPharmaceuticalㅗ: Please ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Song Jooyoung: She was already addicted to drugs at that time…

Mouse: But if that’s the case, then now it might not be A’s own will that she took the drugs…?]

“The viewers’ reactions are hot. So, do you think that A was already addicted to drugs at that time?”

“Without the slightest exception, I think she was already in a serious state of addiction with a 100 percent probability.”
