“Hyung, it seems we can communicate! Hahaha! Yeah, if you try to open people’s mouths with money. But what to do? I only receive prepaid… Huh?”
Before the words were even finished, a hefty document bag was thrown in front of him.
In the shock, the man’s eyes gleamed with madness as a bundle of banknotes poured out of the opened bag.
“Mo… Money! It’s money! My money! Uh-haha! If I just have this…! If I just have this, I can make up for everything! Uh-hahaha!”
In a moment, when the man, laughing like crazy, was about to sweep up the bills, Chaeha’s shoe lightly stepped on the back of his hand.
Following that, a chilling admonition settled on the man’s forehead.
“If you want to get paid, answer properly first.”
Already half out of his mind after seeing the wad of cash, the man quickly produced an answer.
“Speak straight. I did follow Jaeyoung Hyungnim’s orders and pushed an empty car under the breakwater, but I didn’t harm anyone!”
Before the words even ended, a dull thud echoed in the room!
At the same time, the man’s body crumpled to the floor.
The man who was struck stared at Chaeha, who had just hit him, with bewilderment.
“What? Suddenly hitting someone.”
“This is a bonus.”
“…Che.”
Feeling unjust, the man straightened up and once again tried to sweep up the money.
However, Chaeha immediately thwarted his actions.
“First, you have to give me something, too, right?”
“Give it to you?”
“Evidence. Where is the evidence that Baek Jaeyoung ordered you to do that?”
“Ah. Hahaha. That’s… Well, you see… seven years ago? Was it eight years ago? It was when Jaeyoung Hyungnim was at the height of his right-hand man role. Suddenly, he called me and handed me a document bag like this. Of course, what was inside was money! I thought he might even ask me to kill someone, but he just said to push an empty car under the breakwater. Think about it. Wouldn’t you do it if you were in Hyung’s position?”
“Crazy.”
Director Jung frowned and shook his head, but the man chuckled even more.
“Anyway, I just went to Gangwon Province as instructed and pushed the car, that’s all. The car was already disgustingly old! I just arranged for it to be scrapped and made some money. What’s wrong with that? Right, Hyung?”
“So? Even if you just pushed an empty car as you say, how do you know what my wife looks like?”
For a moment, the man took a sharp breath.
As if realizing the error of my explanation that I had uttered.
“Tell me. How do you know what my wife, who is a beauty, looks like?”
Chaeha’s cold gaze was sharp, as if she could cut the man down at any moment.
“Haha… Well, I just accompanied her for a short while.”
“…”
“No, Hyung must know. If you give someone a job, isn’t it basic to check if it’s finished properly? So, after pushing the car, the woman… No, Hyung’s wife…”
“What did you do?”
Chaeha’s patience seemed to have reached its limit.
Together, Director Jung, who was already tense, waited while swallowing the truth that was about to burst out of the man’s mouth.
However, once again, the man provided a response below expectations.
“That… I lost it.”
“What?”
Eventually, unable to hold back any longer, Director Jung’s voice rose.
“It won’t work. There’s no need to dirty your hands, Vice President. I’ll just…”
“Wait a moment! It’s true that I lost it. It’s not a lie! The job was to take her to the destination, but she ran away in the middle!”
“…”
Having already heard from Choi Jaeyoon that she had come battered and bruised, Chaeha ground her teeth with all her might.
Even the man and Director Jung standing next to her couldn’t help but shudder at her expression.
Soon, with a sharp tone, Chaeha issued a warning.
“Let’s start by confirming your usefulness. If you’re of no use, it wouldn’t be a problem to eliminate you right here.”
“W-What kind of terrifying words are those!”
“Speak. Where’s the evidence?”
Finally, as if resigned, the man revealed his failure.
It was something Chaeha had been searching for without success until now.
“Black box.”
“…!”
As if to extinguish the expectation in surprised eyes, the man quickly added.
“I was told to take off the black box from the car. So, I did. But I didn’t throw it away. Humans like me must always have a way to survive, you know.”
“So?”
“I played an interesting prank. I swapped it briefly with Jaeyoung Hyung’s car. You know, he has a glamorous younger sister. The two of them were whispering something important, so I hid in the car to record it.”
“You have quite useful evidence. Where is it? Hand it over right now.”
The man’s conclusion disappointed both of them infinitely.
“…I lost it.”
“What? You bastard! Are you blatantly lying? Vice President, there’s no need to hear more. Just take care of him.”
As Director Jung approached with a sweeping gesture, the man shouted, defending himself with his arms.
“It’s not a lie! I definitely kept it safe, but it disappeared! I’m a victim too! If I had it, I could have threatened Baek Jaeyoung and made a big fortune!”
“…Where did you lose it?”
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
