Released Han Taesu went into hiding, and Yoon Kyung-sook lived like a dead person.
“How is Secretary Shin?”
[It’s strange. He’s trembling, and he’s not moving from the spot.]“Okay, I’ll keep an eye on him for now. I’ll bring him to the Chairman’s house and head that way. If Secretary Shin moves, follow him.”
[Yes. I understand.]“Don’t push too hard.”
As Manager Han’s call continued, Jaehyuk turned his gaze out the window. He saw Eun-ah getting into her car parked on the side of the road.
‘Should I say hello?’
Eun-ah, sitting in the driver’s seat, rolled down the window. Her gaze met his as she recognized the car he was in.
‘I should say hello.’
He got out of the car. As if lying, as soon as he got out of the car, he made eye contact with Eun-ah. In his eyes, he saw a car approaching at an incredible speed behind Eun-ah.
‘What’s that?’
It was an incredible speed.
‘Running like that here is dangerous.’
He thought that unless someone was insane, driving at such speeds in the city was abnormal. He walked towards Eun-ah, thinking he had to say hello.
‘It’s not a racing game, so why is he driving like that?’
And he didn’t need to think deeply about where the car, violating traffic signals and rushing at an incredible speed, was headed.
‘Ha, no way?’
The destination of the car was precisely aimed at Eun-ah.
‘Dangerous!’
There was no time to hesitate. His body bounced forward first. He ran, opened the driver’s side door, and pulled Eun-ah towards him.
“What’s going on?”
There was no time to answer Eun-ah’s question.
He forcefully pushed Eun-ah, whom he had pulled out, towards the sidewalk. Eun-ah moved to a safe distance from the approaching car. But he had no time to avoid it.
Crash!
The fast-approaching car collided with Eun-ah’s car. With an incredible noise, the car crumpled in an instant, turning the scene into chaos.
Due to the collision, a man who was in the driver’s seat of the perpetrator’s vehicle was thrown out. The man wore a black hat, pressed low, and a mask, making his face invisible. It seemed as if he intentionally decided to cover his identity.
It all happened in an instant.
Jaehyuk, who was beside the car, flew into the air with the collision. People’s screams echoed in the horrific scene.
Thud, lying on the cold asphalt, he didn’t even twitch. A red puddle formed around his head.
A startled Manager Han came out of the car and ran towards Jaehyuk.
“Vice Chairman!”
He had his eyes closed. Eun-ah, who had crouched down in shock, looked at him with both hands covering her mouth.
“No, no!”
Watching Jaehyuk, who didn’t move at all, Eun-ah started trembling and crying.
“Oh, call an ambulance. And we need to catch that person, that person.”
There was no separate Abigyuho. If there was ever hell in reality, it was now.
An ambulance arrived, and Jaehyuk was immediately taken to the emergency room. With the help of Jaehyuk, Eun-ah had no major injuries other than minor cuts and abrasions on her knees and palms.
“What, what do we do?”
In a state of panic, Eun-ah lost her composure.
There was no one who could maintain reason in this situation, having witnessed such a horrific scene. However, Manager Han gritted his teeth and maintained his composure.
“It will be okay.”
Manager Han wanted to go to the hospital with Jaehyuk. However, something was strange. Despite the confusing situation, the car-savvy Manager Han checked the condition of the car.
There were no marks that should have been left.
‘He didn’t step on the brakes. It’s like he deliberately hit without braking.’
Unless someone was insane, they couldn’t rush the car onto the sidewalk without hitting the brakes. So, Manager Han had a hunch.
‘It’s not an ordinary traffic accident. But why?’
Manager Han’s head was dizzy with worry about Jaehyuk.
“It’s because of me.”
“It will be okay. Vice Chairman is not a weak person.”
Even as he spoke, Manager Han was unsure about Jaehyuk’s well-being. The gruesome image on the asphalt a while ago haunted Manager Han.
‘I need to snap out of it. Otherwise, this incident could be buried.’
When Eun-ah staggered, Manager Han supported her and clenched his teeth to regain his composure. The police car arrived, and the driver of the perpetrator’s vehicle, who had fallen and lost consciousness at the scene, was arrested.
“It seems like he drank. At this level, it looks like he just came out after being soaked in poison.”
The police put the man who caused the accident into the police car and said.
“Are you saying it’s drunk driving?”
“At the moment. I’ll tell you more details after the investigation.”
“What about the black box in the perpetrator’s car?”
“We checked, but there isn’t one.”
“There are no brake marks.”
“Well, judgment can be clouded when you drink, so anyway, please leave your contact information, and we’ll contact you as soon as the results come out.”
The situation was taking an ominous turn. A foreboding feeling crept in.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. 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.
