Even though the CCTV footage was turned off, the scene of Yeon Woo being helplessly pushed back by Cha Han Bin and hitting the wall lingered in Jun Hwi’s mind.
He should never have let Cha Han Bin leave unscathed that day.
At the very least, he shouldn’t have left Yeon Woo alone with him in the emergency staircase.
He had been holding back, trying not to interfere too much in Kim Yeon Woo’s personal life, waiting outside. If he had known that Cha Han Bin would lay a hand on her, he would have definitely intervened.
Had Jun Hwi seen that scene with his own eyes, Cha Han Bin would probably have been in the hospital for a while, regardless of the negotiations.
Kim Yeon Woo didn’t deserve such treatment. She was too precious to even look at, and yet that lowlife dared to…
But Jun Hwi also had to admit that he played a role in her suffering.
It was he who had indirectly spread rumors through Hong Yu Kyung to secure evidence.
His intention was merely to make the other side cautious and wrap up the project quickly. If he had known even a speck of harm would come to her, he would never have acted so rashly.
“…”
Eventually, Jun Hwi’s judgment led to her getting hurt.
Cha Han Bin turned out to be more despicable than expected. His vile act of tripping Yeon Woo over was beyond Jun Hwi’s calculations.
Even if Cha Han Bin’s dirty deeds were bound to blow up someday, it shouldn’t have happened this way.
After roughly wiping his face again, Jun Hwi strode after Cha Han Bin, ignoring the red light at the pedestrian crossing.
“Are you crazy? It’s a red light! Attorney Kwon!”
Attorney Yang, who tried to stop him, was left behind, feeling futile.
“He really shows it, doesn’t he? If he keeps this up, everyone at the office will know! Geez.”
It was clear as day to an experienced eye. But how will Kwon Jun Hwi handle it if Kim Yeon Woo decides to run away?
Finally, the traffic light turned green. Shaking his head, Attorney Yang stopped mumbling and hurried across the crosswalk.
At the building’s smoking area.
Cha Han Bin was leaning against the wall, engaged in a casual conversation with a junior colleague.
Just as he was about to light a cigarette, it was suddenly snatched from his mouth.
“Shit, what the—”
Irritated by the unexpected interruption, he looked around, only to see Jun Hwi nonchalantly breaking the cigarette and throwing it in the trash.
“What are you doing? Attorney Kwon.”
Instead of responding, Jun Hwi menacingly closed the distance to Cha Han Bin. Remembering the threat, Cha Han Bin instinctively stepped back against the wall.
“Hey, hey, Attorney Kwon…!”
Despite Cha Han Bin’s urgent cries, Jun Hwi kept advancing, his eyes low and growling like a predator, filled with hostility.
Hesitant, Cha Han Bin signaled his junior colleague. The colleague, who was glancing nervously between the two, quickly excused himself and hurried away.
“You’re openly picking a fight now.”
For someone who answered so calmly, Cha Han Bin couldn’t even muster the courage to meet Jun Hwi’s eyes. He tried to conceal his trembling voice with a cough and turned his head away.
“When will this end?”
Regardless, Jun Hwi took another step closer, pressing him even more.
“This is not something that can be concluded so easily!”
How many times had he lost face in front of this guy!
Cha Han Bin, who was never one to feel intimidated by size or personality, instinctively cringed in the presence of a more dominant adversary.
“Do you know? Even a cornered mouse will bite a cat.”
“I haven’t even really cornered you yet.”
“Ha, how much more are you going to push with such petty threats?”
How to shut that mouth that still dared to be defiant. Should he physically stop it?
Just as Jun Hwi was about to speak again,
“Attorney Cha Han Bin!”
From behind the two men locked in a standoff, Kang, the chief secretary of the managing attorney of Loan & Yul, hurried over, followed by a worried-looking Attorney Yang.
The tense atmosphere between the two dissipated.
Seizing the opportunity to escape, Cha Han Bin brushed past Jun Hwi and responded to Kang’s call.
“Attorney Cha, the managing attorney would like to see you for a moment.”
“Me?”
“Yes. It’s about the R Motors case.”
Kang glanced cautiously across the street. A black sedan was parked there.
“I’ll wrap up this conversation and be right over.”
Cha Han Bin quickly regained his composed smile, straightening his clothes.
“Today seems to be my lucky day. The negotiation went well, and it seems R Motors has already praised me. Find someone else to pick a fight with. I’ll be going now.”
Cha Han Bin swiftly crossed to the other side and got into the passenger seat of the sedan.
The car, with him inside, smoothly drove off, disappearing from Jun Hwi’s view.
“Wasn’t Cha Han Bin supposed to be smart? Is he really that foolish?”
Attorney Yang voiced what was on Jun Hwi’s mind.
So narrow-sighted. Being summoned by the managing attorney after the negotiation wasn’t for praise, but likely for a reprimand.
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.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
