It was a clear day.
The sunlight was dazzling after a long time, and the wind felt refreshing.
The blonde man who took off his sunglasses briefly observed the road in front of him.
Imagining a traffic accident seemed unlikely—there weren’t many cars passing by, nor did there seem to be an especially large number of people.
Of course, just around the corner were high-end boutiques, famous galleries, clubs, and luxury hotels crowded together.
But the place he was currently looking at.
Seemed quite distant from anything dreadful, a peaceful and quiet street.
The tall man was dressed in a black suit, but his radiant blonde hair was enough to catch the attention of those around him.
Moreover, his deep blue eyes shone like jewels.
Brandon Cooper.
He studied law at Harvard and is close friends with Kwon Jae Ha.
If Kyle Alexis and Brandon Cooper were to appear in the same place at the same time, it would cause a commotion.
Not just women but also men would pay close attention to their every move.
And for good reason; when two people of similar height and build are in the same frame, they create a fantastic scene.
Jae Ha, with his glossy, dark hair and deep eyes, and the blonde Brandon being together, some have said,
creates a delicate balance, as if an angel and a devil were together.
“…….”
Brandon Cooper is a federal investigator tasked with special duties in the United States.
Usually dealing with serious and dangerous matters related to national security, drug kidnapping, and federal bribery.
But right now, he’s on vacation, dealing with personal matters.
The news he would discover was sure to be unwelcome to his friend.
Still, according to information, the guy was possessively keeping his current girlfriend hidden.
“I wonder who the woman is.”
They’ve been very close since their Harvard days, yet also enjoyed meaningless male rivalry.
Brandon chuckled, recalling Jae Ha’s consistently indifferent and cynical attitude.
What he felt from their last conversation was that Jae Ha had already lost his composure.
A tone of voice he had never heard before.
Love, after all.
You can’t help it either, Kyle, you fool.
Smirking at having caught a weak point to tease him for life, Brandon put his sunglasses back on.
And headed towards a nearby cafeteria.
[Uno Cafe!]“A coffee for you,” the white-haired waiter said in Italian.
Brandon looked at the name engraved on the left side of the apron the man was wearing.
“Thank you, Mister Martone.”
“Call me Mario, Blondie.”
“Cooper. Call me Brandon.”
“What are you curious about?”
Brandon slightly curved his lips. A rather savvy Italian.
“How long has this cafe been here?”
“Twenty years. It’s my shop.”
“Oh, I see. You’ve been here all along?”
“Of course. Rain or shine, even on Christmas.”
The old man shrugged his shoulders, seemingly proud of his dedication.
“So, you would know everything that goes on around here. You must have many memories.”
“Hey, Blondie. Are you a detective? If so, show me your ID.”
“It’s not a crucial investigation, but I’ll show you my ID.”
However, the elderly Italiano hardly even glanced at the ID that Brandon took out to show.
“How’s the coffee? Enjoying a walk and coffee alone at this time, it’s excellent. Benissimo!”
“In fact, I’ve been looking into a personal matter myself. Being at the scene feels a bit strange.”
“A woman got hit by a car here—” Brandon pointed to the road ahead with his finger.
“A woman?”
Scratching his chin, Italiano looked at the road in front of the store.
“A young Asian girl, perhaps?”
“Exactly! How did you know?”
“In the past 20 years, there haven’t been more than three cases of someone being hit by a car here. One of them was a dog. What’s your relation? Were you her boyfriend?”
“Amazing. No, it’s a friend who is involved.”
“Us Italians know just by looking whether it’s related to love or not. If she wasn’t blind, why would she get hit? She wasn’t in her right mind. Moreover, her accomplice was hiding there—watching from over there.”
“Accomplice?”
“What? Don’t believe me? Think I’m senile?”
“No, please go on. I’m very curious.”
“She was also Asian. If she wasn’t an accomplice, she should have reported it. Moreover, I clearly saw her expression when I reported it.”
The talkative Italiano went on at length.
But the really surprising part was what he said at the end, flicking his finger.
“Right! The bag! It should be somewhere. I don’t remember throwing it away.”
Brandon waited for him, sipping his second cup of coffee.
The waiter returned after quite some time with a very worn-out small bag.
“There was a fire in the store around that time. Should’ve given it to the police but I was out of it. So, the owner finally shows up.”
Inside were a now-useless passport and wallet.
And… an ultrasound picture.
“……”
Brandon, looking at the young and fragile woman in the photograph, said nothing.
“Yoon, Eun. Jo!”
Italiano pronounced it correctly.
“She was taken by an ambulance, but it wasn’t a major accident. She’s alive, right?”
“Of course.”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:

Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
