"Good evening, everyone. We now have a news update regarding the recent attack on Dr. Lee Jung-hee. Please watch the report from the front lines in Gangwon Province..."
On the evening news of Channel 1, after the host Park Mi-jin finished speaking, the TV screen switched to the Gangwon Provincial Police Headquarters, where the police chief, Mr. Tian Maosheng, was being interviewed.
True to form, this old fox never missed an opportunity to highlight himself. He spoke confidently into the camera, "Dr. Lee Jung-hee is a pillar of our nation. After receiving the report, we acted swiftly and arrested eight criminals. Through interrogation, we learned that Wu Jingye was the mastermind behind this crime..."
Dr. Lee Jung-hee already knew all of this. He glanced at the screen and lost interest, then reluctantly turned his attention back to the two women in front of him.
Originally, Kim Mi-yeon and the others had left to give Kim Tae-hee and him a chance to be alone. Besides, Dr. Lee Jung-hee had previously said that this place was nice. So, after dinner, the adults went out to play.
However, at this moment, Son Ye-jin arrived. She had come specially to bring him some soup, which she had spent half a day preparing.
This was undoubtedly a kind gesture, but Kim Tae-hee was a bit jealous. Moreover, she knew that Dr. Lee Jung-hee had been injured while saving Son Ye-jin. So when Son Ye-jin arrived, although she didn't show her displeasure openly, she wasn't very friendly.
But Son Ye-jin wasn't afraid of her. She even deliberately tried to feed Dr. Lee Jung-hee the soup in front of Kim Tae-hee, which almost led to a confrontation. Of course, they were both civilized, so there was no verbal or physical conflict, just a fierce exchange of glares. Dr. Lee Jung-hee suffered the most, as he was innocently pinched by both women multiple times.
Moreover, since Son Ye-jin showed no signs of leaving, he was bound to suffer more.
Desperate, Dr. Lee Jung-hee suddenly had an idea and said to Son Ye-jin, "Could you please go back and get my computer for me..."
Outside the hospital room, he had two assistants and bodyguards waiting, but he asked Son Ye-jin to go, clearly trying to get rid of her.
However, to his dismay, Son Ye-jin exclaimed, "Oh!" and then took out his laptop from a bag she had brought in, handing it to him, "Here, I thought you might need it, so I brought it for you!"
Dr. Lee Jung-hee was speechless, and Kim Tae-hee's gaze became even sharper, clearly irritated by this intimate gesture.
He cleared his throat, pretending not to notice, and opened the computer. He immediately went to the homepage of his fan club, "Wild Girlfriend," and, as expected, it was already in an uproar:
"Which bastard hurt Jung-hee? I want to kill that guy..." the straightforward Lee So-eun shouted, and Lee Geon-min followed with a comment, "I told my friends that if we see that guy, he's dead..."
Park Sun-ae, on the other hand, expressed her concern and dissatisfaction in a gentle and somewhat resentful tone, "Why? Jung-hee is so good, why did they do this? They are really evil, they should all go to hell..."
As a fan of "Wild Girlfriend," all of them were showing their concern, dissatisfaction, and even agitation after hearing about the attack. This was not good, as excessive agitation could lead to unpredictable events.
Therefore, Dr. Lee Jung-hee quickly posted a message, "Thank you all for your concern. Well, to be honest, I'm okay. I just lost a lot of blood, but my great mother said that a man bleeding to save a woman is worth it. Uh, since we're talking about men, I was going to say it hurts, but I'll just have to bear it..."
Two "pfft" sounds came from the two women who were stretching their necks to look at the screen. They both laughed and then gave him a coquettish glance, followed by a cold snort, clearly not getting along.
Fortunately, Dr. Lee Jung-hee didn't face any backlash this time, and his post immediately caught everyone's attention.
"Wow, you're so funny, I love you!" Kim Eun-ju screamed, and Lee So-eun followed, "You're so cute, I can't help but fall in love with you. If that happens, you'll have to take responsibility!"
Shin Se-kyung added a big, cute smile and wrote, "It's great to see your message. Are you okay? It's okay to say if it hurts. We'll always love you. And, is Min-hee taking care of you? She needs to try harder, or we'll take you away..."
Lee Geon-min, for the first time, sincerely praised Dr. Lee Jung-hee, "Boss, you're a real man. I've decided to follow you wholeheartedly!"
However, this guy never pleased anyone, so when his comment appeared, many of the beautiful women attacked him, "Get lost, you traitor, declaring loyalty now? We don't want you following him..."
Of course, Lee Geon-min enjoyed being attacked. Privately, he was even proud of his nickname, "Second Taurus."
"Hmph!" At this moment, Kim Tae-hee, seeing so many female fans expressing their admiration and praise, felt a bit jealous and let out a light snort.
But this situation gave Son Ye-jin an opportunity to attack. She said seemingly casually, "Even fans can be jealous, really..."
Kim Tae-hee glared at her but quickly calmed down. She then deliberately put her arm around Dr. Lee Jung-hee's neck in a very intimate manner and, despite her embarrassment, said, "What can I do? My man is coveted by so many people..."
My man! Hearing this, Son Ye-jin's eyes widened, and she was about to retort, but just then, Dr. Lee Jung-hee's phone rang.
Honestly, Dr. Lee Jung-hee was almost moved to tears when he heard the ringtone, but when he saw the caller ID, he really wanted to cry, as it was Ha Ji-won.
This was too much, but he didn't dare hang up. Not only would Ha Ji-won not forgive him, but it would also make Kim Tae-hee more suspicious. Besides, if Ha Ji-won called again, what would he do?
Fortunately, he remained calm and quickly got out of bed, saying, "You two chat, I'll go to the bathroom!"
Dial tone. On the sixth ring, just as Ha Ji-won was about to hang up, Dr. Lee Jung-hee finally escaped the room, with Kim Tae-hee and Son Ye-jin looking at him in confusion, and pressed the answer button.
"Uh, I was in the bathroom!" Dr. Lee Jung-hee had to use an excuse. On the other end, Ha Ji-won lightly scolded him and then said, "I just heard about your injury. How are you? Is it serious? And, what exactly happened? Was it the people from Wellde...?"
She rambled on, leaving Dr. Lee Jung-hee unsure how to respond. After some thought, he replied, "I'm fine, and you don't need to worry. They won't target you..."
He paused for a moment, thinking it was okay to tell her, and then explained the situation with Kim Byung-chung in detail.
Ha Ji-won finally understood but was even more worried about Dr. Lee Jung-hee. After all, these people who dared to commit violent acts in broad daylight were truly terrifying. So, she couldn't help but ask, "What will you do if Wu Jingye isn't caught?"
"Let's wait and see!" Dr. Lee Jung-hee smiled and then added with a wicked grin, "If there's no other way, I'll have to do the same as Kim Byung-chung and act like a thug!"
Ha Ji-won almost burst out laughing but, after a moment, bit her lip and said, "Can't you be serious? This is a dangerous situation!"
Dr. Lee Jung-hee had once heard a senior say a very profound and impactful statement, "In this world, who hasn't acted like a thug a few times?" So, he wanted to tell Ha Ji-won that he was actually very serious now.
However, it seemed Ha Ji-won couldn't accept this, so he could only shrug and say, "Got it, just wait for my victory!"
This response was still not very serious, but the news of his victory came quickly. Around 5 a.m. the next day, the fugitive Wu Jingye was found in a pigsty at his uncle's house in Gangwon Province.
This once-respected figure in Gangwon Province was in a pitiful state when caught, covered in pig feces and stinking.
The suspect was caught, but to prevent the black hand behind Wu Jingye from escaping, the police did not announce the news. Therefore, Kim Byung-chung, the representatives of Wellde, and Fannypln were unaware. So, they released their black hand early in the morning, and the storm began again...
