As he started the car, his mind was focused on one thing only.
How could he make Park Hyun Soo deeply regret and repent for his actions?
He planned to retaliate in the most painful and devastating way possible.
“…”
Suing and litigating? He had no intention of letting it slide that easily.
If treated too gently, such types might just creep back again, like Cha Han Bin who kept provoking.
This time, he intended to make a clear statement. What happens when someone messes with Kwon Jun Hwi and his loved ones.
And, of course, Kim Ju Hwan, the CEO, would not be an exception either.
As he was about to start the car, his hand paused.
Instead, he picked up his phone and made a call. It was late, but that was the least of his concerns now.
The call connected almost immediately after the third ring.
“Ah, who do we have here! Prosecutor turned lawyer, no, our esteemed Attorney Kwon.”
“Are you doing well, Director Jung? I apologize for calling at this late hour.”
“Of course, I’m doing well! Feel free to call me anytime, night or day. You know, old folks like me don’t sleep much.”
The person on the other end laughed heartily before quickly getting to the point. The seasoned chief secretary, who had served a conglomerate head for over 30 years, was just as Jun Hwi remembered.
“I need a favor. Is it possible to check someone’s criminal record in the U.S.?”
Park Hyun Soo had a notoriously bad reputation even among the upper echelons. With such a reputation, it was likely he had committed minor legal offenses at the very least.
Jun Hwi planned to dig up dirt on him and tighten his grip gradually.
“Yes, it’s definitely possible. Who has gotten our Attorney Kwon so riled up?”
“C Pharmaceutical’s new Vice President in Korea, Park Hyun Soo.”
C Pharmaceutical, the name echoed in Director Jung’s mind, evident even through the phone.
“Understood.”
The astute Director Jung, sly as an old fox, didn’t ask for more details. After a few pleasantries, the call ended.
Two days later.
Director Jung, efficient as ever, contacted Jun Hwi sooner than expected.
“The information is ready, but the old man wants to meet and talk about it first.”
It was expected. Nothing would come easy.
Jun Hwi replied that he would come right away and left his office.
The unshakable top conglomerate of South Korea, Joosung Group.
With over 50 subsidiaries, accounting for 20% of South Korea’s GDP, and responsible for the livelihoods of 250,000 employees, Chairman Han Joong Ho’s office of Joosung was perched high enough to oversee most buildings in downtown Seoul.
Waiting to meet the ’emperor’ of Joosung, Jun Hwi watched the stream of cars on Olympic-ro, appearing tiny from above.
“Well, look who it is. Long time no see, Jun Hwi.”
Someone entered the waiting room, greeting him cheerfully.
“Are you waiting your turn, too? You should visit more often. How’s your aunt?”
“Yes, she’s fine.”
“You look happy. Having fun these days? Your cousin is rotting away day by day.”
Han Hee Sung, the executive director of Joosung Group, sat down opposite Jun Hwi, airing his grievances while massaging his neck.
“Sick of lawyering yet? Why don’t you take over one of the smaller affiliates?”
“Corporate management is beyond my skills.”
“Does anyone have the skills to do it? We’re just born into the Joosung Group heirs. Then at least take over legal affairs!”
“I don’t want to.”
“You know you’re the only one in the family ignoring the family business, right? So petty.”
“I’m not a Han.”
“Swap names with me. You be the executive director.”
After jokingly offering to switch roles, Han Hee Sung turned back to his tablet.
But after a moment, he looked up at Jun Hwi again with a different question.
“Did you finally decide to go on a blind date?”
“No, it’s not that.”
This was news to Jun Hwi, who raised his eyebrows in surprise. Han Hee Sung tilted his head in confusion.
“Weren’t you here to see the chairman about that? I thought so. Congressman Kang visited yesterday.”
Congressman Kang was a politician keen on forming ties with Joosung Group. Jun Hwi, through his work, had met him a few times.
Of course, the congressman probably didn’t know that Jun Hwi was the grandson of Joosung Group’s chairman.
In fact, most people didn’t know that, including Yeon Woo.
As Han Hee Sung was about to say something else, an employee informed them it was time to go in, ending their conversation there.
Jun Hwi, adjusting his suit, suddenly addressed Han Hee Sung.
“Brother.”
“Yes, what is it?”
“Are you still interested in venturing into the biotech sector?”
“I’m dying to. But it’s too late to start from scratch, and I haven’t found a company that really catches my eye.”
Perhaps delighted that Jun Hwi was showing interest in the business, Han Hee Sung looked at him with interest.
“Why, do you have a hot lead?”
“There’s a promising U.S. startup, but another company is already eyeing it.”
“In this industry, the first to bite is the owner. Where is it? Who’s got their eye on it?”
“C Pharmaceutical is showing interest.”
It was a calculated remark.
Park Hyun Soo, as the new Vice President, had been keen on investing in a U.S. biotech startup.
He seemed to be putting a lot of effort into acquiring the company, but Jun Hwi wouldn’t let the deal go smoothly.
“C Pharmaceutical? That’s nothing. A company like that could bite off more than it can chew with a startup. We should take it instead.”
“Where’s the target company? Text me the details.” Han Hee Sung asked Jun Hwi, then headed for the chairman’s office.
This was just the beginning. The tears Yeon Woo shed were far from being avenged.
Starting with Park Hyun Soo’s career, everything would be meticulously unraveled, step by step.
Until Park Hyun Soo was ensnared by his own sins, drowning in tears of regret.
“Attorney Kwon Jun Hwi, the chairman is waiting for you.”
Lost in thought, Jun Hwi realized it was his turn. He adjusted his suit, then followed the employee leading him to the chairman’s office.

When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
