After everything was arranged, Lee Jung-hee pulled Sun Yizhen, who had red eyes and was sobbing, to the side and comforted her, saying, "It's okay, it's all over now!"
"It's all my fault, it's all because I'm clumsy," Sun Yizhen, who had stopped crying, started again when someone comforted her. She wiped her tears, looking pitiful and self-pitying.
This wasn't an act; it was genuinely heartbreaking to watch. Lee Jung-hee grabbed her shoulders, looked at her intently, and said seriously, "It's really not your fault. The important thing is that you're not hurt..."
These words warmed her heart. Sun Yizhen's crying paused as she thought this guy still had some conscience. However, her heart softened even more, and she started crying again.
Lee Jung-hee was truly at a loss. Like most men, he was helpless when women cried. He could only pull her along and get going.
"Um," once in the car, Sun Yizhen, feeling embarrassed, temporarily stopped crying. However, she looked at him weakly and asked, "I injured Won Bin, do I have to pay for it? But I haven't earned any money yet!"
Lee Jung-hee laughed. It wasn't her fault; she was still young and, despite being smart, lacked social experience.
"Of course not. You were helping the production team, and it was an accident. The production team will handle it," he explained, seeing her relax a bit. He then reassured her, "Even if you had to pay, I and Empire Entertainment would help you. So you absolutely don't need to worry, understand?"
"Really?" Sun Yizhen completely trusted him. He wasn't the kind of bloodsucking agent who would take advantage of her. Seeing him nod, she was even more moved.
But as soon as she was moved, her lips pouted again, and she looked like she was about to cry. Lee Jung-hee's head ached, and he quickly waved his hand, "Really, it's absolutely true. Don't cry..."
His flustered and helpless appearance made Sun Yizhen giggle. She then gave him a coquettish look, "You're such a fool, you don't even know how to comfort a girl!"
Lee Jung-hee was speechless. He wanted to tap her a couple of times but was afraid she would cry. He could only pout and show his disdain.
The hospital was soon reached. They would first handle Won Bin at the hospital in Yangyang, and then transfer him to a hospital in Seoul in the afternoon. This was also the time when Lee Jung-hee would briefly meet him.
The hospital in Yangyang was quite good, especially quiet and spacious. When Lee Jung-hee and Sun Yizhen entered, Won Bin had just finished being treated. His face was bandaged, and his broken leg was immobilized and hanging from the bed.
"How are you feeling now?" Lee Jung-hee asked casually, while Sun Yizhen, without pretending, said apologetically to Won Bin, "I'm really sorry, it's all my fault!"
Won Bin was a shy person who rarely spoke or even smiled. But once he started acting, he came alive. He was a good person and didn't blame anyone for what had just happened.
He had just been given anesthesia and wasn't in pain, but his face was still pale. He smiled slightly and said to Sun Yizhen, "It's really okay, how could it be your fault?"
However, while Won Bin was a good person, his agent, Choi Sung-guk, was not. Because of Lee Jung-hee's current status and influence, this guy didn't dare to do anything to him, but he had no good attitude towards Sun Yizhen, a new artist.
He coldly glanced at Sun Yizhen and scolded her, "What good does it do to apologize now? What were you, this stupid woman, doing at the time? Why did you grab someone else's hand when you fell?"
"Enough!" Lee Jung-hee had seen too many arrogant and domineering agents. Many stars' bad attitudes were caused by these agents. If it weren't for Won Bin's face, he would have slapped this guy.
But his words didn't make Choi Sung-guk back down. Instead, he became even more aggressive, losing his respect for Lee Jung-hee, and showed a thug's face, "Oh, Mr. Lee, I didn't say anything about you. What do you mean?"
"I am her agent!" Due to the Devil Entertainment System, he couldn't hide anymore to gain popularity. So, he didn't need to hide anything, "As an agent, or a rational person, you should understand what happened. But your words were very rude and hurt her, who was already feeling guilty..."
"Shit," Choi Sung-guk was angry, his face full of displeasure and defiance, "Do you think others don't know you have something going on with this little bitch? Damn, you're even playing the hero here!"
"For Won Bin's sake, apologize now!" Lee Jung-hee considered himself a civilized person. Although his fists were itching, he still held back, just staring coldly at Choi Sung-guk.
But Choi Sung-guk didn't take him seriously and even pushed him, looking provocative and speaking arrogantly, "What, what are you going to do?"
"You started it!" Lee Jung-hee laughed, and before he finished speaking, his right hand shot out and punched Choi Sung-guk's jaw. There was a dull thud, followed by a miserable howl.
Choi Sung-guk was already on the ground, bleeding from his mouth. But Lee Jung-hee didn't let him off. He lifted his foot and kicked him in the stomach with force.
Another thud, followed by another miserable scream from Choi Sung-guk. But Lee Jung-hee didn't stop. His face was twisted in anger, and he kicked Choi Sung-guk several times. At this point, Choi Sung-guk, seeing his expression, was terrified and finally cried out for mercy, "Stop, stop, I admit it, I was wrong, please, please stop!"
"Damn!" Lee Jung-hee, showing his disdain, gave him the middle finger. He hadn't learned martial arts, but his older brothers were experts. He understood that in a conflict, if there was no way to resolve it, one must decisively incapacitate the opponent to protect oneself.
Showing mercy at this moment would only lead to tragedy. So, he ignored Sun Yizhen's wide-eyed shock and turned to Won Bin, who was also stunned, and said, "Uh, I'm really sorry this happened, especially that you got hurt. I will compensate you well in the future. Of course, it might sound ridiculous given my current status and achievements..."
Then, he glanced at Choi Sung-guk, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead. This guy's company, FUNNYPLAN, would later sue Won Bin over a photo book, and he was the instigator.
Thinking about it, did this count as getting back at Won Bin? He laughed and waved at Won Bin again, "Well, I think we shouldn't stay here for now. We can talk another time!"
As it turned out, Won Bin actually disliked his current agent. So, he wasn't angry that Choi Sung-guk had been beaten; instead, he smiled and waved at Lee Jung-hee.
Although Choi Sung-guk was pretending to be dead, he was still conscious and shouldn't speak at this moment.
"Wow, you're so cool!" Outside the hospital, Sun Yizhen was no longer the pitiful girl she had been when they entered. Instead, she looked excited and winked at him playfully, "But you were too fierce, I was a bit scared," then made a cute scared face, feeling proud of his bravery. A man should protect his woman like that. Pfft, she wasn't his woman, but he had really done a great job. Sun Yizhen's mind was filled with random thoughts as she glanced at Lee Jung-hee and said, "But really, I was thinking, would that bastard die from your kicks...?"
"Do you know the possible consequences?" Seeing her still looking innocent and carefree, Lee Jung-hee smiled helplessly. If he were just a screenwriter, his career might be over. These agents weren't pushovers.
"Ah!" Sun Yizhen stared at him in surprise, realizing something. She pouted and grabbed his hand, asking, "What do we do?"
"It's fine, I'll handle it!" Lee Jung-hee didn't want her to worry, and besides, she couldn't help. But Sun Yizhen pouted and said coquettishly, "Are you saying I'm useless, always causing trouble...?"
"Here we go again!" Lee Jung-hee rolled his eyes, "If you don't cause trouble, I'll thank you. Okay?"
Sun Yizhen laughed, then lightly hit him and said, "Stop it, I'm being serious!"
There was nothing more serious than this, Lee Jung-hee thought to himself. He then hailed a taxi and headed back to the production set.
He had beaten someone, and FUNNYPLAN was a small company, so it was unlikely they could blacklist him. If they didn't report it to the police, they might try to deal with him privately. Thinking about it, he called Zhang Dongguo on the phone. Once the call connected, he said directly, "Brother, I beat someone today. Can you send two people to help me here..."
At first, Zhang Dongguo was confused, but after hearing him out, he said with a mix of laughter and tears, "You're just like your brother!"
This made Lee Jung-hee laugh. Zhang Dongguo had bullied his second brother when he was young, but later got beaten up badly. This was still a topic of conversation among them.
"Alright, I got it!" Before hanging up, Zhang Dongguo added, "I'll also talk to the representative of FUNNYPLAN and find out what they're planning..."
Lee Jung-hee nodded and hung up. He thought if they reported it to the police, it would be interesting. He was the least afraid of the police.
Of course, the most comforting news was that the system didn't go crazy. If it had given him a random punishment task for beating someone, he would have been truly depressed! PS: It's Monday, do you have any recommendations? Dear readers, don't forget to add to your favorites!
