Ugh, he finally went.
“The guard went straight up, but I don’t know how the situation will unfold.”
I’ll send the investigative team over there.
“Prosecutor, please come to the Lee Won.”
Sukwon, gasping for breath, muttered Riwon’s address, then glanced briefly at the room where Kang Hyun and Tae Seok-gyu were still present.
Why there?
“If Jeean is caught, the president won’t be able to make any judgments. He’ll probably give away everything. Then it’ll be even more difficult. Tae Seok-gyu, catch him first, and we’ll think about the rest later.”
Alright, let’s do that.
Concerned about what might happen if Prosecutor Jang gets involved, Sukwon received a refreshingly clear answer near his ear.
It seems that Prosecutor Jang’s personality is similar to his younger sister, Yeonjoo.
Having erased unnecessary delusions and resolved to stop the stock transfer at all costs, Sukwon hurried back to Kang Hyun.
Upon spotting a stranger wearing a delivery company vest, Jeean quickly reacted and rushed into the bedroom, locking the door. The man who followed with a thudding sound relentlessly shook the sturdy gold door lock up and down. Seeing the door lock rattle as if it would break any moment, Jeean, fearing what might happen in Kang Hyun’s absence, quickly moved a small bedside table in front of the door. She then entered the bathroom, placed a small stand near the door, and sat down inside the shower booth.
“Huk….”
She hadn’t heard a word from Kang Hyun yet.
Fear of what might happen to her in his absence caused tears to well up incessantly.
Finally regaining her scattered thoughts, Jeean tremblingly picked up her phone with shaky hands.
Bang!
The man who had broken into the bedroom unnoticed shattered the bathroom door. Startled by the sound of the man kicking the door, Jeean’s phone dropped lifelessly from her hand.
Jeean, not missing the sound of the door opening, blinked rapidly, her eyes moist.
Beyond the opaque shower booth, the silhouette of a large man flickered.
Although she desperately grabbed the handle of the shower booth, her light body was instantly pulled out.
“Ack!”
The man who appeared with a sharp, purple face kicked the shower door open, grabbed Jeean’s ankle on the bathroom floor, and dragged her out.
Terrified of the horror of possibly dying without anyone seeing her precious ones, Jeean clung to the man’s pants, struggling.
“Ugh, huu… please, save me.”
Kim So-ye couldn’t hide the torn corners of her mouth as she watched Jeean being dragged out of the bathroom like a fish caught by a fisherman.
“Well, this suits you well. It would have been better if you had just lived as Seo Jian. Why did you come back to Taekang Hyun and end up like this?”
Leisurely approaching, So-ye bent her knees and sat down, aligning her gaze with the fallen Jeean.
“Why are you doing this to me? Why?”
“Because you are Han Seoyoon.”
Avoiding So-ye’s eyes, Jeean, with a flushed face, diverted her gaze.
Tears streaming down from the corners of her eyes covered the cold floor, hidden by the rug placed in the house.
“Han Seoyoon is Taekang Hyun’s weakness. But without Taekang Hyun, you have nothing. That’s why there’s nothing as easy as doing this kind of thing with you.”
“Move.”
The man, now prepared to handle Jeean by sending a text to Director Jo, raised a sharp pair of pliers.
“Hu, oooh, I want to go to Oppa… oooh, I want to go to Oppa.”
With Jeean’s life gripped in his ruthless hand, the man shed tears like a child.
“Hu, oooh, I want to go to Oppa.”
Without realizing it, as I searched for Kang Hyun, a familiar voice overlapped. It was the pitiful voice of a child who had nowhere else to rely on, always searching for that one place.
Bbeok .
Amidst the disturbance in the bedroom, the guard, who had silently approached, swatted away the knife-wielding man’s hand.
“Hey, Cha Hye-joo! Do you want to reveal the password like that? The door lock didn’t open, and we almost got delayed!”
Grabbing the earset in his ear and making a loud noise, the guard leisurely dodged the man’s approaching fist and moved toward Jeean.
“Are you okay?”
Hunching down, Jeean, refusing even the guard’s touch, crawled into a corner. Her trembling shoulders didn’t seem well.
“Who are you, what are you doing!”
Sensing that things had gone awry with the guard’s arrival, Kim So-ye also rushed toward the guard like the man.
“Oh, I should have brought Cha Hye-joo.”
Irritatedly muttering, the guard effortlessly caught the man’s flying fist, then swiftly moved behind the man and twisted his robust shoulders.
“Kwaaaah!”
As the man’s agonizing scream echoed in the bedroom, even Kim So-ye, who had momentarily hesitated, stopped her violent outburst.
With no hesitation, the guard shattered the man’s bones and, holding the man’s neck in his grip, slammed him against the wall.
Quite a well-built man, with his heels off the ground, was slammed into the hard marble wall.
Kwaang!
A sound similar to a breaking door and a resonating impact echoed in the bedroom.
“Kuk, huaaak…”
The man, lying weakly on the floor, was once again picked up by the guard.
“Hey, Seo Jeean. Are you okay?”
“No…”
“What did you say?”
“It’s not Seo, not Seo Jeean…”
Tutting, the guard lightly licked his lips and lifted Jeean’s shoulders.
If it were his own sister, he might have laughed while smashing the man’s head like a drum, but in a situation too harsh for an ordinary woman to experience, she was on the verge of losing consciousness.
“Die!”
Kim So-ye, who had disappeared from the bedroom for a moment, reappeared, shouting with something in both hands.
Although the guard easily blocked Kim So-ye, who was trying to attack Jeean, Jeean, standing behind him, seemed to have lost her senses, as if she had been hit on the head by whatever Kim So-ye was holding.
And then it was darkness.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
