He observed what might be the reason he got an invitation to attend BF Group's product launch.
Interestingly, he and CEO Yoo crossed paths after she got into an accident.
As he headed home, he saw a person jump out of the building and crash into the CEO's car, leaving Yoo Ja Yoo unconscious because of the strong bump.
Thankfully, the CEO was safe, but her team thought that it might be an inside job and came to the conclusion that she needed a bodyguard to protect her 24/7.
After seeing the CCTV footage of how the former official saved CEO Yoo during the crash, she wanted to hire Woo Chae Won, but was hesitant because of his background.
In "Blood Free" episode 1, it was explained why Woo Chae Woon was at the BF Group's product launch. Former President Lee Mung Gyu summoned the former captain to meet him for a very important task.
Knowing that Woo Chae Woon was still finding the whereabouts of the terrorist, the former president recalled the hours prior to the incident that caused deaths among the military.
He believed that one of the affluent CEOs made him the target. This included Ja Yoo, who accompanied the former president to a state meeting.

At this point, the former captain was given a task to join the BF Group's security and get close to Yoo Ja Yoo.
