Chapter 679 That's Too Good To Be True
Jay and June were silent as they rode the van back home.
June had his medicine tucked under his armpit while the gifts he received from Grandma were on his lap.
A week.
Dr. Oh recommended for June to take an entire week off.
June hadn't been on a break for so long that a week off already felt like an eternity.
He could just imagine all the sleep that he could get!
However, glancing at Jay, who seemed to be even more troubled, June shook his head.
There was no way.
A week's break was too good to be true!
"You don't have to follow what the doctor said," June said, breaking the silence in the car.
"It's just a recommendation. It's not a mantra," he continued.
Jay sighed once again before shaking his head.
"I know," he muttered. "I'm just thinking of your schedule for the next week."
"Hmm," June hummed.
"Well, I have to film for Rising Stars. I have to practice for our showcase. We also have to prepare some content for our YouWatch."
"Oh, didn't we have to perform in that morning show, too?"
"I guess I also have that photoshoot with a candy brand," he muttered.
"And I almost forgot—I have to attend someone's party tomorrow, right?"
Jay clicked his tongue. Now that June had laid out his entire schedule for the week, he felt that it was really too much.
Jay felt a bit useless since he wasn't the one who accepted the different events. Instead, he was just responsible for joining June in attending them and making sure he went to every single one.
"Gosh, that's a lot," Jay said. "How can you do all of that when you're fatigued?"
June shrugged. "It's something that you have to live with, I guess."
"I'm used to it now," he continued.
"You don't have to, though," Jay muttered. "Dr. Oh told me that your condition will only get worse if you overwork yourself. He also warned me that you need to cut back on your schedules after this break."
"You know that's not possible," June said. "The company keeps accepting and giving me work."
A week's break was definitely too good to be true.
He might not have any official schedules for the entire week, but he still had to accomplish his mission.
The first step?
Finding the briefcase.

"He has a family," Lin Zhi excitedly said, slamming the door to Laohu's office open.
Laohu frowned in confusion.
"I believe his parents are dead," he said. "I did a background check on his past and found that they got involved in a car accident."
"They did," Lin Zhi said, remembering the scandal that June had during Rising Stars.
"For so long, I felt that June didn't have a weakness," Lin Zhi smirked.
"I know that he cares deeply about his members, but we can't do anything about them since they're too exposed to the public."
"If we do something to harm them, then the people would investigate it to their wit's end."
"However," Lin Zhi said, smiling even wider as he placed the printed photos of June, Minjun, and his sick grandma in the hospital.
"It seems like we've finally found his weakness."
Laohu's eyebrows raised in surprise as he picked up the photo.
"I see," he muttered. "This kid—I feel like I've seen him before."
"The little kid and the old woman visited June when we were in Rising Stars. However, the other trainees said that they were just his neighbors, so I didn't think too much about it."
Laohu hummed as he tried to analyze the situation.
Lin Zhi smirked as he continued his statement. " I also have some information that you're not going to believe. That guy's father—he's the one who owned the third-party voting company when I was in Rising Stars."
"That's why he was able to change the tides at the last minute," Laohu said, finally piecing the puzzle together.
"Exactly," Lin Zhi said.
"That's good then," Laohu said, mirroring Lin Zhi's smirk. "We can get our revenge by killing two birds with one stone."
Lin Zhi nodded enthusiastically as Laohu ripped the photo in half, carelessly discarding the old woman's photo to the ground.
Then, he placed the other half of the photo, which was Minjun, in the middle of the photo.
"This young man," he smirked.
"Let's see how important he really is to June."
