From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Bo Wen.

"Oh, Bo Wen," Lin Zhi muttered as he entered their company.

The big old baldie he used to work with—one who swore he would focus on being a guard and remove all aspects of his past life—was the one he suspected to be helping June in his quest.

"You're still a chronic liar up to this day," Lin Zhi said as he waited for Bo Wen to arrive at the coffee machine like he always did late in the afternoon.

After the White Tiger Gang had been dissolved due to internal issues, the members all dispersed into different career paths. Some completely left their lives behind without any strings attached, while those who weren't good at anything else stayed…and they were given new jobs by the 'head.'

Bo Wen was one of those people.

Bo Wen finally arrived at the coffee machine, causing Lin Zhi to smirk. He quickly stood from his seat and walked to where Bo Wen was.

"Big Bo," Lin Zhi called the name he used to call him before.

Bo Wen's eyes narrowed in suspicion as he glanced at Lin Zhi.

"Lin Zhi," he coldly greeted. "It's been a while."

"It's been a while, indeed," Lin Zhi said. "How are you doing these days?"

"Better," Bo Wen said. He had made a resolution to serve June and clean his past so he could finally see his son and visit his wife's grave, and he had never been better.

"Well, at least one of us is doing better," Lin Zhi sighed.

Bo Wen pursed his lips. "I'm sure you're doing better, too. You're even in Director Jam's new movie—although, I would argue that you got in because of your hard work."

Lin Zhi raised his eyebrows in amusement. "Now, how do you know about that? Oh, wait! I nearly forgot. You know a lot of things, don't you, Mr. Information Expert?"

Bo Wen sighed and shook his head, lifting his hot coffee mug and holding onto both sides with his bare hands.

"Why are you speaking with me, Lin Zhi? I thought I made it clear that I don't want to do anything gang-related anymore. I also don't want to associate myself with you or Laohu," he sighed.

Lin Zhi smirked. Yet, somehow, he was still helping June.

"I know," Lin Zhi said. "I just wanted to say that Haruki's having a hard time leaving from his shoot."

"What?" Bo Wen asked, his eyebrows furrowing. "I thought he still had an hour left until the schedule finished?"

"It ended early," Lin Zhi said. "I saw him on my way here. Poor dude looks terrified."

Bo Wen cursed under his breath and placed the coffee mug down before walking away from Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi smirked as he waited for Bo Wen to leave the vicinity.

"Oh, baldie," Lin Zhi chuckled. "You must like your current job, don't you?"

He craned his neck to confirm that Bo Wen was out of sight, nodding to himself when he didn't see him anymore.

Then, he went over to the guard's quarters—where Bo Wen usually stayed when he was in the company.

He smirked when he saw that no one else was around. Lin Zhi went over to Bo Wen's designated seat and opened his computer.

As expected, it had a password. However, that wasn't really a challenge for Lin Zhi. As someone who had known Bo Wen from the start, he knew that his family was the most important to him. So, he quickly typed in Bo Wen's wife's birthday and smiled when the home screen was shown.lightsnovel

"Let's see," Lin Zhi muttered, digging for something that could help him with his objectives.

He opened a folder that said, 'Airport,' and found plenty of CHAOS' photos in the airport inside. At first, Lin Zhi thought that Bo Wen must treasure the CHAOS boys a lot. However, as he continued scrolling through the photos, he realized that he was included in every photo he saved.

May it be the corner of his eye, his shining head, or even just a fingertip—Bo Wen had saved them all.

Lin Zhi shook his head in amusement.

Another folder showed a collection of EVE's photos, making Lin Zhi frown. It seemed like Bo Wen wasn't in these pictures, yet somehow, they were saved on his computer?

The trend found in these photos was that they all contained June. Lin Zhi even found a poor edit of a photo that had rings, burning tires, and spikes surrounding June, making him shake his head.

It seemed like Bo Wen was really fond of June, which only strengthened his assumption that Bo Wen was June's informant. He still didn't know how the two came into such a relationship, but nothing was really impossible in this world, right?

Lin Zhi continued searching the computer, nearly giving up when he couldn't see anything useful.

Then, after a lot more searching, he came across a folder that had the title 'My Noodz,' making Lin Zhi grimace.

"I definitely do not want to see that," Lin Zhi muttered with a grimace.

However, not even seconds later, he found himself clicking on the folder to see what was inside.

"Well, I am pretty curious," he whispered. "Just a small peek."

He was disappointed, however, when he merely saw two files inside the folder.

"It's not," Lin Zhi clicked his tongue before begrudgingly clicking on one of the files.

His eyebrows raised in surprise, and his back straightened when he saw what was inside.

It was all of the proof used against Director Bong!

Lin Zhi's eyebrows furrowed as he scrolled through the file, finding that its contents were indeed the charges pressed against Director Bong.

Lin Zhi smirked before throwing his head back in utter bliss.

He came across a powerful mine!

Lin Zhi didn't hesitate to click on the next file, wondering what to find next.

'This must be the next bullet that June is preparing,' he thought.

lightsΝοvel He believed that if he knew of their next bullet, then he would have an easier time dodging it.

However, much to his surprise, it seemed like he came across HIS bullet instead.

Lin Zhi frowned as he scrolled through the file, seeing transcribed conversations and screenshots of conversations.

"I can't believe this," he whispered, his eyes wide and his mouth twisted into a malicious smirk.

"Choi Joon-ho," he muttered, leaning against his chair and crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"It seems like we're more connected than I thought."
