Episode 147
As he momentarily forgot his despair in the warmth of the first words his daughter had written for him,
“CEO.”
Kim Manager approached him.
Yusong observed Kim Manager’s pallid complexion and instinctively sensed that something unfortunate had occurred.
“What is the matter?”
“…Previously, when you instructed me to thoroughly investigate everything about your daughter and Future Entertainment, I reported that I had assigned someone to Yeongho—do you remember?”
“Yes. Has he threatened my daughter again?”
Yusong vividly recalled how Yeongho had already coerced Time Entertainment multiple times, so his face darkened at the thought that he might have committed such an act once more.
“…That is not the case. In fact… he is in critical condition right now.”
“!”
Kim Manager briefly explained what had transpired.
Someone had struck Yeongho and fled the scene—by all appearances, it was an intentional murder attempt. For now, he had been hastily admitted to a major hospital close to the Hion family to secure his safety and receive treatment. Even after major surgery, his survival remained uncertain.
“…Because we had been monitoring him all along, we were able to rush him to the hospital and barely maintain his life until now. Had we been even a few minutes later, he would already be dead.”
Yusong nodded with an impassive expression.
Whether that worthless human lived or died was of no concern to him—
“Has it been confirmed who struck him?”
The facts needed to be clearly established.
“No. However, it is certain that this person is highly professional in such matters. The license plate was entirely forged, and they escaped only through routes with minimal CCTV coverage.”
At Kim Manager’s words, Yusong fell into thought.
Who could it be.
The one who tried to kill that wretched creature.
Considering what he had done to my daughter, it would hardly be surprising if he had earned enmity from many other places—he was human garbage of the highest order.
But what troubled me was that the perpetrator seemed to be a remarkably meticulous person for this to be mere grudge.
“…It appears as though someone is trying to sever loose ends.”
“I came to precisely the same conclusion.”
Kim Manager nodded in deep agreement.
“So to ensure his safety, we admitted him to the hospital under a false identity for now. Officially, he is listed as missing.”
“Didn’t you say that trash has a daughter?”
“Yes. A child around the same age as your daughter. It appears their relationship with your daughter is not very good.”
“….”
Yusong exhaled a short sigh and nodded.
“Understood. For now, keep that trash alive as long as possible. We may need him later.”
“Yes. I will make another request to the hospital as well.”
“Assign a few more security personnel too.”
“I will do so. I will also pursue the hit-and-run driver further. Any clues that emerge could be valuable.”
Just as the conversation seemed to conclude and Kim Manager was about to withdraw,
“What’s this? Seems like you two are having quite the interesting conversation without me~?”
As if he had been eavesdropping the entire time, Leon suddenly appeared before them.
“….”
However, both Kim Manager and Yusong seemed to have already sensed it, showing no surprise whatsoever.
“Now you don’t even pretend to be shocked, hyung?”
“It seems you still need more education, dongsaeng.”
Leon stared at Yusong for a moment, then broke into a grin as if nothing had happened.
“Which hospital?”
“None of your business.”
“It seems to involve my nephew. Then it is my business. Which hospital is it? There’s no domestic hospital where my influence doesn’t reach.”
In place of Lee Iho, whose sales ability was nearly zero, Leon had been handling all of Hion Pharmaceuticals’ most crucial lobbying activities.
Because of this, there was virtually no place where pharmaceuticals were used that didn’t fall within Leon’s sphere of influence.
“…Please tell him.”
Yusong, well aware of this fact, nodded helplessly to Kim Manager.
“It’s Jasung Hospital.”
“Ah, there? I’ve eaten, drunk, and even shared bribes with the director there. Done it all.”
“….”
“Oh, it’s been a while. I should go pay my respects. Sigh. Because of my stiff-necked hyungs who have no social skills and don’t know how to lobby, I’m always the one running around flattering people. But they don’t even appreciate my efforts. This is really heartbreaking, you know?”
At Leon’s manner of speaking, which Kim Manager still wasn’t accustomed to, his eyes wavered for a moment.
However, Yusong, far past being accustomed to it, let out an exasperated sigh.
“…If you’re done talking, get out.”
“No, hyung. We need to negotiate. How many times will you let me meet my nephew?”
“Zero times.”
“Hyung~? How can you do business like this? Don’t they teach basic business in the United States? Should I request a tuition refund?”
“Are you trying to make a deal out of my daughter?”
“Ouch! Why do you always take things the wrong way! …But if you’re really selling, I’m willing to buy with half my entire fortune!”
“Should I re-educate that mouth of yours?”
Despite Yusong’s cold response, Leon remained cheerful.
It doesn’t matter if hyung insists zero times over and over.
I’m going to run straight to my nephew and get praised directly.
“Alright, alright. Since you keep telling me to get out… I should get back to work.”
Touching Bol a hundred times as a performance bonus sounds good, doesn’t it?
Anyway.
‘They said Mirae, right?’
Leon’s eyes began to gleam coldly.
Where do these pathetic bastards keep showing up?
The moment Leon stepped outside, he made a phone call.
“Ah, hyungnim~ Haha. That rare liquor you mentioned wanting to collect last time—I found a bottle. I’d like to bring it to you whenever you have time….”
A dirty bastard is best dealt with by another dirty bastard.
Leon decided to seek out the person he knew best in the underworld.

Meanwhile, at Yewon’s House.
While everyone was preparing for bed, Yewon approached Yeonho very discreetly.
‘Okay, okay. Uncle Weon went to brush his teeth. Uncle Doha is organizing my blankets. Uncle Eon is applying night cream right now…!’
Now’s my chance!
I clutched something in my hand and rushed toward Yeonho.
“Uncle Yeonho!”
“!”
Yeonho startled at my sudden appearance, but quickly regained his composure.
“Do you need something?”
“Mm-hmm!”
I lowered my voice and nodded.
Then I held something out to him.
Absolute Secret-Keeping Coupon
(Capable of handling any matter discreetly)
“!”
Yeonho’s eyes widened slightly as he read the coupon’s contents.
The fact that he was presenting this coupon meant….
“Looks like something big might happen.”
“It hasn’t happened yet, but it might, so I need your help!”
“Tell me anything. I’ll handle it very discreetly.”
At his words, I broke into a wide smile.
Uncle Yeonho was truly dependable.
“Okay, so….”
I leaned in and whispered something into Yeonho’s ear.
His complexion turned ashen in real time.
“…Seriously?”
He’d said he’d grant anything, but this didn’t seem right….
Yeonho looked at me with desperate eyes.
Please, any other wish but this!
“Yes! Only you can do this!”
“…!”
Only I can do this…. Only I can do this…. Only I can do this….
The pallid complexion from moments before vanished without a trace, and Yeonho immediately nodded with resolute determination.
If it’s something only I can do, then of course I have to see it through.
“I’ll absolutely do it perfectly.”
“Yes! I trust you, Uncle!”
“You can trust me.”
I wrapped my arms around Yeonho’s neck.
“Thank you, Uncle.”
“…Don’t mention it.”
Yeonho patted my back silently.
It was the strangest request he’d ever heard from me, but….
…There’s no helping it.
It’s your request, after all.

The next day.
“…Brother?”
Unable to hold back any longer, Lee Doha called out to Yeonho cautiously.
“What.”
“…Can I at least ask why you’ve been like this since earlier…? I’m starting to feel pretty uncomfortable….”
“I’m uncomfortable too, so just bear with it.”
“…But why are you doing this if you’re uncomfortable yourself…?”
Lee Doha asked in a voice on the verge of explosion.
And for good reason—Yeonho had followed him right into the bathroom while he was showering!
Of course, there was a shower curtain so they couldn’t see each other, but what kind of absurd thing was this anyway!
He’d reluctantly allowed Yeonho in when he said the restroom was urgent and the other members had occupied all the bathrooms… but why wouldn’t he leave!
“I don’t understand. If you’re uncomfortable, wash up quickly and get out.”
“If you’d just leave, brother… I feel like you’ve already seen everything, so please just go….”
“I haven’t seen everything yet.”
….
Lee Doha had given up.
It seemed like his karma for debuting alongside these lunatics.
‘…Sigh.’
But Yeonho found this situation equally unbearable.
The reason he was doing this was, of course, because of what happened yesterday.
‘…You know, Uncle. Could you stay by Uncle Doha’s side without separating for even a moment, always together, for a while? You absolutely, absolutely must stick to him without parting for even a second.’
…Since Yewon had asked him this earnestly, there was nothing I could do about it!
Yeonho turned the page of the book he’d brought.
This is the karma of becoming the child’s favorite uncle.
Just hold on a little longer.
