The sound, no matter how many times it rang, abruptly stopped, and the sound of the metal door opening softly echoed.
Unfazed by the situation, Kijoo swung the door wide open, not hiding his presence, and strolled out with a deliberate step. The suits that had stealthily entered like bugs froze in their tracks upon seeing him.
Nonchalantly scanning through items with distinct purposes, such as a baseball bat and wooden club, Kijoo looked at the faces of the men holding weapons with the same expression.
“Familiar faces.”
They were Song Chairman’s personal security team. He had known they were tailing him from the start, purposefully luring them here. It was evident from their clueless expressions, as he appeared either as Song Chairman’s troubleshooter or just an ordinary bodyguard when they encountered him.
Kijoo chuckled meaninglessly with a hint of a smile.
Acting as if to say, ‘So you’re going to confront me like this. It was easy to guess how they would react, given Song Myunghwan’s blatant actions and the audacity to bring his family into this.
“Where are the family members?”
One of the sharply-dressed men, as if ready to charge at any moment, spoke.
Kijoo rolled his eyes to the ceiling, seemingly bored.
They would probably resort to threats, even kidnapping his family. It was typical of Song Myunghwan’s actions.
“Is that what you’re looking for?”
With a mocking tone, Kijoo drew his gun from his waist, handling it with a clean and steady motion.
“No, we’re not.”
The threatening tone of the man approaching as if he would charge any moment suddenly stiffened. It was unimaginable that they would have guns. They stood still, as if receiving an unspoken command to halt.
Kijoo calmly aimed the muzzle of the gun, which seemed like it could spit out bullets at any moment, at each man’s forehead. As a result, they froze in their tracks, seemingly scared to the point where they dared not even breathe.
“Drop your weapons!”
The man who had been leading the conversation shouted.
Click .
The chilling touch of cold steel lightly pressed against the man’s forehead, sending a shiver through him. Kijoo, pointing the gun at his face up close, spoke softly.
“I clearly said, let’s settle this well. But the answer turned out to be like this.”
“W-What…”
“I’m just talking to myself.”
“P-Please spare us. We were just following orders…! We didn’t intend to cause serious harm!”
Kijoo nudged the wooden plank that was underfoot.
It was excessive to pretend to be pitiful on a topic about non-existent family. Of course, it only induced an unintended effect since he couldn’t feel emotions like sympathy.
“I have no intention of doing that. Just like Mr. Choi Woosung and your four-year-old daughter being taken care of by the Head All-Inclusive, and your mother living alone in Jeonnam.”
When my words are heard. At the last words that casually slipped out, the man’s face was covered in cold sweat.
In fact, from the moment my name came out of his mouth, his complexion had been dying like a sick person. While the information about Song Chairman’s close aides being connected up to his fourth cousin by marriage was too natural for Kwon Kijoo, the moment that information came out, it was abnormal and terrifying.
“This incident’s failure, let’s discuss it later.”
That was the condition.
Kijoo, detaching the muzzle from the man’s forehead who nodded silently, headed to the entrance. The men who had blocked his way parted to the sides like a wave, creating a path. After briefly stopping his steps, he turned around.
The cold winter wind roared frighteningly.
Walking steadily out of the office building, Kijoo felt the breeze brushing against his cheeks coolly and headed to the parking lot. His steps were calm, as if the incident inside the office building had never happened. Getting into the car quietly, Kijoo frowned.
“……. ”
Assistant Manager Oh Geunseok was sitting in the passenger seat. Without a word of greeting, he naturally existed, as if he had been here since Kijoo arrived. Staring intently at Manager Oh Geunseok, Kijoo soon leaned against the car seat, tilting his head back.
“Actually, she was quite pretty. Even though she seemed sharp.”
Geunseok spoke first. Kijoo’s scornful gaze rolled towards Geunseok.
“Is that your taste in women?”
Taking out his phone from the pocket, Geunseok had a phone case with a small flower engraved on it. It was Eunchae’s phone.
“Even if I dig through it, nothing comes out. I thought you sent a love signal or something.”
Tilting his head slightly, Kijoo threw a brief glance out the window before snatching the phone from Geunseok’s hand. Geunseok didn’t seem to make any effort to retrieve it. It was because Kijoo had thoroughly examined and recovered what he had deleted.
Looking at the phone in his hand, Kijoo leaned back against the back of the seat.
Eunchae’s phone.
He had contact with Eunchae.
Kijoo had an impulse to blow off Geunseok’s head with the gun he had holstered on his waist.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
