Chapter 253 – Funerals
It was news like a thunderbolt.
She thought Shin-Ah Lee, whom she thought was doing well, committed suicide.
Jeong Seong-min stumbled over his dizzy head.
Lee Hee-yeon and Lee Ha-young, who were nearby, hurriedly approached Jung Sung-min and helped him.
“Obviously … Didn’t he say that he was obviously doing well. For sure…”
In the meantime, he had his subordinates trace Lee Shin-ah’s whereabouts.
As a result of observing her actions, she was definitely on the way to happiness.
That said, it was working according to her own design.
That’s also true, Jung Sung-min had hinted at Lee Shin-ah.
It is such a suggestion that makes you start looking for a new life and a different happiness.
Thanks to that, she started a business with her own money, worked hard every day, and lived a positive life.
She met and interacted with many people, and in the process, she met a decent man and started dating.
‘Because of the video… Maybe because of the video.’
Maybe it’s because I sent a video of my family’s daily life.
No.
The video was only 2 months old.
Everything was according to his design.
If she was kicked out of her family right away, it would be obvious that she would miss her family, so I hoped that watching the video of her family would soothe her heart.
After that, I was thinking of gradually reducing the frequency of sending videos.
Of course, I have to receive the video forever until I die, but I can do that much.
She wants her to be happy, but she doesn’t just want to be happy.
I wanted her to be sick for a day thinking about her original family once a year, later every two or three years.
That’s because her own allusion is hardened.
Her suggestion of forgetting her original family and leaving in search of new happiness worked well.
“I’m going to check… I’m going to check. I want to see it with my own eyes.”
Jung Sung-min stood up.
I couldn’t believe it until I saw it with my own eyes.
“Identification confirmed. You can go in.”
That’s how Jung Sung-min arrived at her morgue.
He saw someone’s body covered in white cloth.
Only the feet were sticking out.
“…Ah.”
Vivid burn marks on the soles of the feet.
There were burn marks on the soles of his feet from the torture, but the marks could not be completely erased.
Jung Sung-min stumbled over his body and approached his corpse.
Then he looked down at the cloth covering his face.
“…”
Right.
He’s the face he knows, obviously.
For more than 20 years, the person who has always supported her life with a gentle face, sometimes strict, sometimes friendly.
But he was the one who gave me so much betrayal that I couldn’t erase it.
That person got hit in the face.
“Master!”
When Jeong Seong-min stumbled and fell down, Lee Ha-young and Lee Hee-yeon supported him.
Baek Ha-yoon was quietly sobbing with his hands together.
For an instant, the dead Park Jong-pil came to mind.
I wonder if Jeong Seong-min is feeling the sadness of losing a precious person like he was then.
“How how. Boo, sure.”
I checked it with my own eyes, but I couldn’t believe it.
Why did this happen
A person who, not long ago, smiled brightly as if he was starting a new life, a person who even fell in love.
Why. Why the hell did this happen?
“I’m going back… I’m going back.”
Jung Sung-min had a certain compulsion.
The compulsion to never show weakness.
Jeong Seong-min, who put strict standards on himself in order to reach the top of the underworld, couldn’t show any signs of weakness.
“Spin…”
Because of her, I couldn’t see her anymore.
The corpse of her son, who was her own mother, she could not bear to see any more.
If she sees her face beyond this, she may not be able to control her emotions.
-Bang!
So, Jeong Seong-min escaped as if he were running away.
She squeezed in the emotions that were about to burst out, and she moved to the car she was riding in.
“I’ll leave the cleaning up to you guys. Take care… Take care of it yourself.”
Jeong Seong-min deliberately gave her order in a cold tone and entered his studio.
And after entering the private room of her own office, no one was allowed to enter.
“Kuhhhhh”
Jeong Seong-min held his breath and cried.
No matter how much he has risen to the pinnacle of the underworld, he is not a robot without emotions.
He hated more than anyone, but loved more than anyone. Her mother, whom she hoped for happiness in the end, died.
It was an indescribable sadness.
-Bang! Kwakwang! Bang!
Jung Sung-min started to run amok.
The end of a man’s feelings is always towards anger.
He was furious with the size of his sorrow and went on a rampage.
He started smashing and destroying all the objects and furniture in the room.
For over an hour, he screamed and exploded in anger.
“Uuuuu…
Everything worked out as planned.
He rose from nothing and set up his own business, and based on it, he emerged as a god of the underworld.
Not stopping there, he stood shoulder to shoulder with the old evils of the underworld, eventually defeating them and becoming king.
“Huh…Huh…Kuhhh…Ah…Ah…”
But not everything went as planned.
He had his first taste of failure today.
He failed what should never have failed.
That is mother’s happiness.
***
Kang Ji-hwan vaguely expected this to happen.
Kim Yeon-joo was a woman whose true past was unknown, and what she was thinking.
She is so pure and bright, but sometimes she turns into a monster, and sometimes she shows a sensual side, but she also shows a naive side.
She had fallen in love with it more and more.
But her greatest attraction was her depth of unknown sadness.
Sometimes when she looked into the distance and longed for something unreachable, she felt sad that she would leave her forever, she was herself.
That anxiety and precariousness was her greatest charm.
She wanted to protect her somehow and make her happy.
I wanted to erase all that sadness someday.
“Heuuuuu…”
However, she couldn’t.
He remembered what Lee Shin-ah had said one day.
I’m a really bad bitch. That there was no one who was not hurt.
Apparently, that statement was true.
That’s why I left myself alone.
After giving me such beautiful memories, dreaming of the future and creating it, I left the world.
“…”
What kind of past had she lived?
Why is none of her family showing up?
Except for her part-timer at the cafe and a few people she knew, no one came to pay her respects.
How can one person’s funeral be so shabby?
“…?”
It was then.
A slender face with an elongated body.
Distinct features and piercing eyes.
A handsome young man was coming here with dozens of people.
Next to him is an amazing beauty and Baek Ha-yoon.
“Uh?”
Baek Ha-yoon.
The best star in Korea in name and reality.
Why is Baek Ha-yoon here?
I heard he went on a long break, what is it?
Why are you here?
Are you coming here?
Dressed like a mourner…
-Chuck.
At that time, a handsome young man in the front stood in front of him and bowed his head.
Kang Ji-hwan also lowered his head, facing Jung Sung-min.
Sungmin Jung said.
“May the souls of the deceased refrain.”
An emotionless, blunt voice.
However, his sadness is certainly conveyed.
Kang Ji-hwan was curious about this unidentified young man, but soon he put his curiosity aside.
Looking closely, I could see who it was.
He must have been her blood relative.
He definitely looks like her.
“…”
What kind of life did she really live?
Among the people the young man had brought along, there were some who smelled dangerous.
In addition, that young man also smelled of unknown danger.
-Sue.
Eventually, a young man bows to Mr. Yeonju.
When he bowed for the second time, he couldn’t bear to lift his head and stiffened.
When he looked up, tears were falling down his cheeks.
He got up and left the funeral home.
“…”
Since then, countless geunjo wreaths have come.
In addition, many people came to condolences, and ancestral rites related companies came and decorated this place noisily.
Now this place is no longer a shabby posture.
Even though the people who came to the condolences were not sincerely sad, many people comforted Yeon Yeon-ssi’s soul.
“…Yeonju-san. The complicated ties, I hope to solve them well.”
Kang Ji-hwan could only be sure of one thing.
There are many things related to the young man and Yeon-joo who just left.
And finally that it has come to an end.
Kang Ji-hwan hoped that her soul would arrange all kites in this world and fly away.
That’s how he honored Kim Yeon-ju.
***
A room with soft darkness.
Lee Ha-young and Kim Mi-jin sat across the table from each other.
“How are you today?”
Lee Ha-young asks Kim Mi-jin about her current situation.
To this, Kim Mi-jin replied with her subtle smile.
“I am happy. I think of the past a lot. Um… Definitely different from my old family. He wasn’t as affectionate as Mr. Hyun-jae was, and my child was also a child who complained more. But once… I think it’s enough to remind me of the happiest time… If an accident hadn’t happened to my family… I’d probably be living a life like this… I also think that way.”
Lee Ha-young, who was listening to Kim Mi-jin’s words, nodded her head.
She said.
“Are you ready?”
“Whoops… Anytime. It’s a great family for me. There is no place for me.”
“Still, I wouldn’t have listened. That’s how… I treated you sincerely.”
“It was for our child. And… You wouldn’t know from the report. Hyunjae and Sungah are not perfect.”
Lee Ha-young nodded her head.
She looked at the stack of papers on the table for a moment and looked at Kim Mi-jin.
“Now then, it is time to move on to the next step.”
Next stage.
The stage where the owner should feel the aftermath after Shin-ah Lee’s funeral.
Jung Hyeon-jae and Jung Sung-ah are also at a stage where they should be swept away by the aftermath.
Lee Ha-young said.
“Did the suggestion work well?”
Suggestion.
Jung Hyeon-jae, who recognizes Kim Mi-jin as Lee Shin-ah, hints that she will see the truth when she triggers a certain trick.
Mijin Kim said.
“Yes. As she said, she constantly hinted. A hint that I am not real.”
“…Well done. Now is the time to really go to the next level.”
The plan was proceeding smoothly.
Lee Ha-young lifted her body up and she asked Mi-jin Kim to shake hands.
Kim Mi-jin also held Lee Ha-young’s hand.
“Then please do your best until the end.”
“Sure. I also want this family to be happy.”
Kim Mi-jin finished with those words and went back to Jeong Seong-min’s mansion.
Lee Ha-young looked at her back and took out her phone from her pocket.
And after making her contact with her own limbs, she gave the previously unspoken instructions.
“Execute”
***
It’s the third day after Lee Shin-ah’s funeral.
Jeong Seong-min was almost dead.
She thinks her death was due to her own faulty design.
– Gulp gulp
He drank it out of his mouth while holding the bottle of soju.
If I didn’t drink like this, I couldn’t survive if I wasn’t drunk.
Of course, the alcohol kept going on an empty stomach and vomiting came up, but his body was getting worse because of it, but he didn’t care.
Because his mind was broken, he couldn’t think of taking care of his body.
-Wow~
Then, the cell phone vibrated.
Originally, he would have just ignored it, but this was his personal phone.
It was the phone of the king of the underworld, who would never be able to message or call unless he was closest to him.
-Sue.
So Jung Sung-min picked up the phone.
I looked and there was a text message.
Jeong Seong-min confirmed the contents of the text.
“…”
[Check your mail]
A simple text asking you to check your mail.
However, Jung Sung-min couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
Who on earth could send such a text message to himself, the king of the underworld?
“…”
However, it could not be ignored.
Curiosity arose.
What kind of e-mail did this unknown sender send?
Jung Sung-min immediately checked his e-mail.
“…Ah.”
One new email.
Inside, there was a thumbnail of Lee Shin-ah.
Jung Sung-min immediately downloaded the video and then played the video.
“…Ah…Ah…Huh…”
She is alive and moving
She becomes Kim Yeon-ju, a woman who moves vigorously and vigorously.
The video was playing her like that.
Jeong Seong-min watched the video with tears in his eyes.
Just like the first time I fell in love with a video of her girlfriend’s depravity.
