He put the luxury bag given to the woman focusing on her golf swing into the suitcase. Although he intended to make a voluntary report, it felt like being treated as a tax evader for some reason.
“Is there a problem?”
Unable to endure it any longer, Oh Jonghyuk raised his voice, and the airline employee responded with a bright smile.
“No, sir. We’ll personally escort you to first class.”
‘They should have done that from the beginning.’
Only now did he think of receiving special treatment, and Oh Jonghyuk’s mouth slightly curled up. A manly office manager with his hair combed back approached after accepting the guidance.
“Our crew will serve you comfortably. Have a pleasant journey.”
As the male office manager stepped back, warm towels and a list of beverages appeared promptly.
“Tasting this in first class is different.”
Oh Jonghyuk called the flight attendants with a courteous voice like a successful businessman. Top-quality wine and cognac. Appetizers and meals, and even instant noodles.
How well the time passed, almost making the long flight time inconspicuous. Oh Jonghyuk thoroughly enjoyed the benefits of first class without missing a single one.
“Mr. Oh Jonghyuk.”
Just before the landing announcement, the male office manager approached with a polite gesture.
“For your convenience, you’ll be the first to disembark as soon as we land.”
“Our manager, you do your job so well.”
Raising his thumb like praising a child, the manager lightly bowed and stepped back.
In the place where a slight jolt and a dizzy spell had just passed.
In the aircraft where the safety belt light was blinking, two male flight attendants stood in front of Oh Jonghyuk.
“We’ll escort you to immigration.”
“The service here is quite good.”
As Oh Jonghyuk stood up, he felt the gazes of others in first class on him. He leisurely moved around the airplane, taking in everyone sitting.
Oh Jonghyuk straightened his shoulders, and his neck stood firm.
The joy of being the first to disembark, with the door of the heavy airplane open.
While walking through the long aisle, Oh Jonghyuk’s broad smile ascended with the protection of the male flight attendants. Only up to the exit where the connecting passage ended.
Two airport police officers in black uniforms were blocking the way, standing firm.
“The police are blocking the way. Move! Let us through.”
It was the moment when the refreshing mood was scratched.
“Mr. Oh Jonghyuk. May I see your passport?”
The flight attendant guarding his side like a bodyguard reached out his hand. Thinking they might help find his luggage, Oh Jonghyuk handed over his passport.
The unfolded passport with the last page clearly visible crossed over to the police officers blocking the way.
“No. Why my passport?”
“Mr. Oh Jonghyuk, is this you?”
“All because of that luxury bag?”
No matter how expensive, could it be that the police chased after him for this? It’s about inner taxes.
“See this? Customs declaration.”
Oh Jonghyuk shook the paper in front of the police officer’s face.
“I’ve written everything on the customs declaration—my name, the bag, the price. How sincere of a taxpayer am I?”
As if saying he misjudged a person, Oh Jonghyuk grumbled, and the airport police officers clenched their fists on both sides. Then they mumbled on the walkie-talkie.
“Oh Jonghyuk has been taken over. Moving directly to immigration.”
“What, taken over? Hey! Do you know who I am? I pay taxes. Right now!”
Looking at the flight attendant as if asking for help, Oh Jonghyuk, but the male flight attendant was already returning to the connecting passage.
“No. What did I do wrong?”
“If you cause a disturbance here, you may be forcibly taken for obstructing official duties.”
At the mention of being taken away, Oh Jonghyuk’s shoulders stiffened. What on earth was happening? If not because of the luxury bag, then maybe?
In Oh Jonghyuk’s mind, Taehyungsik’s report about not being able to send money due to voice phishing came to mind.
“Oh, shoot. What’s this? What if it’s because of that account?”
Although he wanted to dismiss it completely, there were records of several transfers, and he couldn’t step back. Caught in an uncomfortable feeling and lost in excuses, at that moment, new men appeared in front of Oh Jonghyuk.
“Mr. Oh Jonghyuk?”
“Why, why!”
As Oh Jonghyuk shouted, the airport police handed over the passport they had kept.
An unidentified man who confirmed his identity blocked Oh Jonghyuk’s path. Then, he took out a document from his arms.
“I’m from the International Crime Investigation Division of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office.”
“The International Crime Investigation Division?”
“We are urgently arresting you on charges of overseas gambling and violation of the Foreign Exchange Transaction Act.”
“Why would I gamble? Do you have evidence? Do you have any evidence?”
Even if he shouted like catching a live person, the men around him only focused on their surroundings without blinking an eye.
“You can explain at the investigation office.”
“No! Call a lawyer. A lawyer.”
“Contact them from the car. We’ll move right away.”
The excuse that he had to find his luggage didn’t work. There was no reason to resist the reply that they would take care of it themselves.
While Oh Jonghyuk was just turning his head, two robust investigators stood closely. Oh Jonghyuk, who was urgently arrested at the airport, thought of Kim Yujun in an unusual situation.
‘I did it secretly without Manager’s knowledge. Can I call a lawyer?’
Even though he cursed while suppressing the blame, he was afraid of Kim Yujun’s disposal. When he was caught for violating the Foreign Exchange Transaction Act before, he had warned him.
― Jonghyuk, do you want me to bother you with this trivial matter?
Although he begged with his hands and feet that he wouldn’t do it again, the hand affected by amnesia made a mistake again. Whether to contact Kim Yujun or not. He couldn’t ignore the fact that he made the same mistake again. He was worried about asking Kim Yujun for help. Even if he begged flat on the ground and promised not to do it again!
There was nothing he could surpass the lawyers of Myungjin in handling tasks.
However, the fact that he made the same mistake as Kim Yujun bothered him. Although he swore that he wouldn’t do it again, the hand affected by amnesia made a mistake again. Whether to contact Kim Yujun or not. He couldn’t ignore the fact that he made the same mistake again. He was worried about asking Kim Yujun for help. Even if he begged flat on the ground and promised not to do it again!
There was nothing he could surpass the lawyers of Myungjin in handling tasks.
However, the fact that he made the same mistake as Kim Yujun bothered him. He wondered if he could go up and down the name of La Jin, the only top star in the agency. Still, was it okay to go up and down the name of La Jin, the only top star in the agency? There was still a burden of risk.
Oh Jonghyuk’s dilemma continued until he arrived at the Central District Prosecutors’ Office. Even when confirming his identity and entering the investigation room, he still delayed making a decision.
‘Ha, what should I do?’
As Oh Jonghyuk looked around the empty investigation room, two men holding thick documents entered.
“I am the prosecutor in charge of this investigation. You don’t need to be nervous.”
“Who said I was nervous?”
“Indeed, the distribution is considerable. Did you boldly give and receive money like that?”
At the prosecutor’s smiling attitude, Oh Jonghyuk’s heart sank.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect.

After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
