“Bro, if I’m unlucky it could take a few days, I’ll try my best to find it with Sonagi Yang.”

“You two, don’t do anything weird and stay hidden in this house. Okay?”

It was Sonagi who said a word while sitting in the passenger seat. The two of them who were suddenly treated to dinner because Hong Seo-yeon, who was completely satisfied with Ji-hoon’s plan, was excited to cook, looked quite happy.

They had to find the legendary net-runner who had contacted the vice president of the future company, but they had the Hwalbindang, and there were many vagrants in Neo Seoul. Hong Gil-dong even said that he could contact famous gangs, and if he gave them the right amount of money, he could obtain information that was difficult to obtain.

Ji-hoon could trust the two people in front of him, not because he was saying there was a chance they wouldn’t be found, but because he was saying that it would probably take more time if he was unlucky.

“And…”

Sonagi glanced at Ji-hoon standing in front of her, and raised the corners of her mouth after confirming that Hong Seo-yeon had not come out separately.

“When this is over, we…”

“I need to rest a lot. Should we buy a vacation home like this? We can even put a swimming pool in our front yard.”

“There doesn’t seem to be any convenience stores or marts around here… I just like apartments.”

Ji-hoon laughed at Sonagi’s words. It was a very realistic reason. But where are there just one or two apartments? If you search through the thousands of apartments in Neo Seoul, you will find ones that are so fancy that you won’t envy Hong Seo-yeon’s vacation home.

Ji-hoon, who could still see Sonagi’s concern for him, reached out and stroked her head once. Sonagi, who had been missing this kind of small skinship, closed her eyes and felt the touch, then immediately reached out and stroked Ji-hoon’s groin with her palm.

“This is mine, but I think I’ve been lending it to you for too long.”

“Hey, hey… Nagi. Don’t say that…”

“So what, it’s mine, right? My pussy is yours, and this is mine.”

He didn’t hate Sonagi, who was being cheeky and even sassy. Jihoon stroked her cheek and ear without saying a word. Could Sonagi feel love enough just from this short moment and this simple skinship?

‘I could hint that I won’t tell you this story in the future…’

It’s not like they’ve had an accident yet, so isn’t this cute? Ji-hoon didn’t have any intention of putting a leash on Sonagi yet, so he felt a little regretful and pulled away from her.

“Mr. Hong Gil-dong, I’m sorry for suddenly asking you to do this.”

“bro, that’s okay, this is actually lucky because it can solve ME’s Personal problem as well.”

“Personal issues…”

Ji-hoon was lost in thought for a moment, thinking about Hong Gil-dong’s personal problems. It was well known that he was using Lucky Venus to carry out various relief projects in Neo Seoul.

I knew very well that he hated Megacorp and used their assets to commit thieving activities. But what other personal reasons could there be?

“…Wait a minute… Mr. Hong Gil-dong.”

Ji-hoon looked at him with eyes that seemed like he couldn’t believe it. He stared at him for a long time, as if he was the perfect black person to anyone.

This is true.

Isn’t that really an incredible coincidence?

“By any chance, isn’t the person your mother dated when she came to Neo Seoul the current vice president of Mirae Enterprise?”

“Oh.. What is it? Mr. Hong Gil-dong is also surnamed ‘Hong’. Hong Seo-yeon is also surnamed ‘Hong’, and Vice Chairman Hong Kwon-tae is also surnamed ‘Hong’.”

As Sonagi opened her eyes wide and spoke, Hong Gil-dong let out a small laugh, adjusting his sunglasses. A man with jet-black skin. A man whose mother came to Neo Seoul with a big heart to achieve her Korean dream.

Ji-hoon couldn’t even imagine it because the being in front of him had such a ‘Western’ appearance and a name that seemed like it came out of a novel, ‘Hong Gil-dong,’ but he acknowledged it.

“Yes, my father is Hong Kwon-tae.”

“Th… . Oh my… . But… Uh… Wow.”

Sonagi seemed to want to say something nonsensical, but she looked at Hong Gil-dong’s face several times and stroked her cheek.

“It turns out Mr. Hong Gil-dong wasn’t using a brain chip from several generations ago for nothing.”

“I’m pretty old, too, but I can’t tell you exactly.”

“It’s not a lie that you can live forever if you just keep taking Soylent Red. It’s not a lie that you’re almost 200 years old…”

“Haha, if I had continued to drink Soylent RED, I might have been younger than you!”

Hong Gil-dong, who had made a small joke, smiled slightly as if to say, “Is this enough?” Ji-hoon was momentarily speechless at the various emotions he felt in his smile, but there was one thing he had to confirm for sure.

“Then, Mr. Hong Gil-dong. Are you okay? If it goes according to the plan I told you, there may be variables, or in the worst case scenario, we may have to kill Vice Chairman Hong Kwon-tae.”

It was a consideration that a human being should naturally show. If Sonaga was nearby, he would pull the trigger without hesitation, but if Hong Gil-dong and Hong Kwon-tae met alone, there was no telling what would happen.

But Hong Gil-dong felt that this consideration and concern was foolish, so he touched his sunglasses once, smiled, and lightly gripped the steering wheel.

“That was Me’s dream. If I could get revenge on the man who ignored Mother and ignored me, I could do anything. Rather.”

“…You’re not going to say that I gave you that opportunity, are you?”

“Hahahahaha, bro, thank you.”

Hong Gil-dong ended up saying thank you. Was it really right to hear thank you for creating the situation that led to his father’s death? It felt like a terrible moral hazard was happening, but at least Hong Gil-dong was not a young person.

He lived beyond what Sonagi and Jihoon could ever imagine, and he was by no means a young man. Old people don’t always make wise decisions, but as a problem solver, he lived long enough to be called a legend, and he was a person who could think smartly enough.

“Please don’t be so thankful, Mr. Hong Gil-dong. I might not be able to kill you.”

If Ji-hoon’s plan had been followed, Vice Chairman Hong Kwon-tae would have suffered a terrible humiliation at the shareholders’ meeting and would have had to hand over the entire future company he had tried to acquire to Hong Seo-yeon. There is no telling what would happen after that. Hong Seo-yeon could fire the Vice Chairman or take away all of his stocks through ‘legitimate means.’

“Then let’s go, Jihoon. Don’t do anything weird. Okay?”

Sonagi, who realized that the conversation was over, waved her hand. Ji-hoon nodded and got out of the car. Hong Gil-dong also lowered his sunglasses once, looked at Ji-hoon with his lightless eyes, and stepped on the accelerator.

“Phew… I guess I’ll have to wait a few days…”

Ji-hoon shook his hands. He had no idea what Hong Kwon-tae, the vice president of Mirae Enterprise, was doing right now.

Didn’t someone say long ago that if you know the ground, you will be able to win a hundred battles? If you find the legendary net-runner, you will be able to find out why and what story he helped the vice president, and you will also be able to recover the bio ID.

“Honey, that was a long story. What happened?”

When I got home, I saw Hong Seo-yeon, who had just taken off her apron and was drying her hands. It was quite a novel thing for the chairman of a large corporation to cook and even wash the dishes, but since she only made food once a year, she said she wanted to do the dishes herself.

What should I call this? It must be an extravagant sentiment. Ji-hoon didn’t want to ask too many questions about that part.

“Because they are problem solvers, there is nothing I can do. I have to tell you all the stories in detail…”

“You won’t get into trouble later on when you join a heist, right? Actually, our future company doesn’t use fixers very often. The shitty things that fixers can’t handle are the kind of things that are worth asking fixers for…”

While saying that, Hong Seo-yeon thought, “Aren’t Sonagi and Hong Gil-dong different? I should have asked them earlier.” Ji-hoon knew her feelings, so he just smiled silently and took her slightly cold hand and stroked it.

“If this goes well, I’ll take care of my younger sibling’s work later.”

“Ah… That too, really, it would be nice if you made a great plan and took care of it…”

Hong Seo-yeon said with a faint smile, and naturally placed Ji-hoon’s hand on her chest. She felt a strange warmth, and Ji-hoon touched her hand for a while before realizing something strange.

‘Oh no… you didn’t match the wedding ring.’

When you get married, you wear a ring. There is no one in this world who does not know this common sense. In reality, since he had not married Hong Seo-yeon, he had completely forgotten about this. Ji-hoon stroked Hong Seo-yeon’s ring finger while worrying about what to do.

If you don’t tell a good lie, you might later think, “Oh… why don’t I have a ring even though I’m married? Did I lose it? Why didn’t I match it?..” If you suddenly think of such things, it’s obvious that your mental stability will go crazy.

“Seoyeon, we didn’t get a matching ring. If the vice president’s work goes well, should I get you a nice one?”

“Ah… Phew, because of that old man, I couldn’t have a proper wedding, couldn’t submit the documents, couldn’t even get a ring…”

Surprisingly, all the problems in Hong Seo-yeon’s married life turn out to be the fault of ‘Vice Chairman Hong Kwon-tae’. Even though fake memories were created like that, she truly believed that there was ‘probability’.

In fact, Ji-hoon could figure it out with just a little thought. A grandfather who is almost 200 years old is still sitting in his position as the ‘Vice Chairman’ of a future company. What must he do, what must he do to sit in that position?

“If I had the chance, I wanted to kick him out… but I absolutely could not do it. Because the shareholders’ meeting would never allow it. However, if our wife’s plan goes as planned, I think we can kick him out ‘fairly’.”

There, Hong Seo-yeon hated the vice president to the point of near madness. Hong Seo-yeon’s younger brother was so angry that he couldn’t stand it anymore because things were going wrong at Mirae Enterprise that he ran away from home and started a gang.

It was not unusual for there to be at least one person who was causing ‘dark things’ in the future companies. In the bright world where the world’s attention is focused, Hong Seo-yeon uses her smart brain to endlessly create and promote products…

What if there was a person who did all sorts of dirty and filthy things in a place that could be called the underworld? And what if Hong Seo-yeon knew that that person was her grandfather?

‘It makes sense to this extent…’

It is natural to oppose and interfere with the marriage of Hong Seo-yeon, who must remain a ‘good product’ of a future company for a long time. It is not unreasonable for Hong Seo-yeon, who has not had sex until she was 29, to assume that she got married in a fit of anger and go on a honeymoon for a month.

And the woman in front of her, Hong Seo-yeon, who had started a satisfactory sex life after 29 years, put her hand on Ji-hoon’s groin. It was clear that she wanted to ask something of the man who fed her delicious food and acted as her husband well.

“Honey, let’s stop this boring story…”

“Ahem, Seoyeon. We’re a couple…”

“Newlyweds are supposed to have sex twice a day, every day. Honey, you’re not thinking of running away, are you?”

Hong Seo-yeon smiled lecherously and grabbed the clothes hanging from her shoulders, pushing them aside. Ji-hoon couldn’t help but laugh as he saw black lingerie that he had changed at some point.
