The Genius Grandson Of The Cash King Becomes A Tycoon [EN]: Chapter 90

#090

The orphanage had walls that were too high.

A prison’s walls would have been more fitting.

The three who had climbed over the high wall surveyed their surroundings before entering the building.

There was no sound of children.

It was around dinner time, so it should have been the time when the children were playing.

Eun-soo, who was in the lead, gestured.

As they approached, there were children ranging from elementary school to middle school age.

Eun-soo’s fingertips were trembling slightly.

Was she reminded of her childhood?

Her eyes were shaking violently.

In the huge space, dozens of children were all sitting on chairs.

They were quiet, like mice, not making any noise.

No one was doing anything foolish.

Everyone was focused on the book in front of them.

These were children who normally liked to run around noisily.

It was an impossible state unless there was thorough discipline, likely accompanied by violence.

‘What the hell did these crazy bastards do to the children?’ Jeong-hoon thought, furious.

Eun-soo seemed to feel the same way.

“Crazy,” Eun-soo muttered briefly.

Then, she tried to open the door and go inside.

Kwak Hyun-soo stopped her.

“Not yet.”

Eun-soo bit her lip and stepped back.

The three went deeper into the building.

There was no sign of anyone in what appeared to be the director’s office.

No one was there, even after they looked around thoroughly.

As they were examining the dead end of the building, they heard footsteps behind them.

About ten men appeared.

Kwak Hyun-soo and Eun-soo stepped forward.

“Be careful! They’re ex-special forces!” Kwak Hyun-soo shouted, dodging their sharp attacks.

The two were pushed back little by little by the unexpectedly strong attacks.

Jeong-hoon’s eyes caught sight of an open door as he was looking for a place to retreat.

“Evacuate. This way.”

At Jeong-hoon’s shout, Eun-soo and Kwak Hyun-soo retreated.

Then, they hurriedly took refuge in the place Jeong-hoon had indicated.

A completely empty space appeared.

Kwak Hyun-soo’s expression distorted as he looked around.

“Did we fall into a trap?”

Anxiety filled Kwak Hyun-soo and Eun-soo’s faces.

However, Jeong-hoon checked his watch indifferently, his head down.

“We didn’t fall into a trap,” Jeong-hoon reassured them.

“It seems like it’s almost time. Then, shall I participate now?”

Jeong-hoon loosened up his body.

“Seriously?”

“Yes, I should show my skills too.”

Kwak Hyun-soo tilted his head.

He seemed to think that it wouldn’t make a big difference even if one more person joined.

He was wrong.

The power of two people and the power of three people were qualitatively different.

No, Yoon Jeong-hoon’s power overwhelmed everyone.

Jeong-hoon subdued the enemies in an instant with unbelievable speed and power.

Every time Jeong-hoon swung his fist, well-trained ex-soldiers fell one by one.

The skin of the sturdy men was torn, and their teeth were knocked out by his merciless touch.

The once-mighty enemies were all lying on the floor, groaning.

Kwak Hyun-soo went to the fallen men.

Screams for help spread.

However, he was also merciless.

All four joints in the men’s arms and legs were completely bent in the opposite direction.

Jeong-hoon briefly got goosebumps when he saw that.

“They won’t be able to use their strength anymore,” Kwak Hyun-soo said quietly, as if declaring it.

They were in a state where they could never use their strength again.

Both arms and legs were shattered.

It was then.

Kim Hyun-chul finally appeared with an even greater number of enemies.

“Jeong-hoon is here. Eun-soo is here too.”

His eyes were glazed over.

He seemed to be high on drugs.

Jeong-hoon turned his head to look at Eun-soo.

Her fingertips were trembling, and her forehead was covered in sweat.

Eun-soo’s desire for revenge could be felt in her intense eyes.

He had to calm Eun-soo, who was consumed by revenge and fear.

“Eun-soo! Jeong Eun-soo!”

“Oh, yeah.”

Eun-soo wiped the sweat flowing down her face.

“Calm down. Calm down.”

“Yeah. I need to calm down. But I’m going to kill that bastard with my own hands.”

Kim Hyun-chul, former director of Hope Orphanage.

He disappeared immediately after the day he met his grandmother.

Jeong-hoon didn’t track him down or look for him.

If he had, he would have hidden even deeper.

The reason why only Jeong-hoon, Eun-soo, and Kwak Hyun-soo came here today was to lure Kim Hyun-chul out.

If they had stormed in with Park Chang-soo’s gang outside, he would have definitely hidden somewhere.

Only three people were there.

Kim Hyun-chul, who looked down on them, revealed his hidden self.

Jeong-hoon looked at Eun-soo, who was breathing heavily next to him.

Eun-soo had a lot of debt to repay to him.

Her blazing eyes were full of unprecedented murderous intent.

Eun-soo was found in a bag in the luggage compartment of an express bus.

Darkness must have been an unbearable fear for her.

Kim Hyun-chul of Hope Orphanage relentlessly stirred up Eun-soo’s trauma.

Claustrophobia caused by that childhood experience.

Kim Hyun-chul deliberately locked Eun-soo in cabinets and wardrobes.

He pushed Eun-soo, who hated it like crazy, into that narrow space.

Eun-soo invariably suffered from terrible nightmares on the days she was abused by the director.

In order to hide her nightmares and fears, Eun-soo was always exceptionally cheerful.

Like an idiot who couldn’t remember anything.

He stopped after she got quite big.

It was probably after the day Jeong-hoon grabbed his wrist tightly.

“Damn it, stop it.”

Jeong-hoon held the knife he had prepared tightly.

He couldn’t stand his madness any longer.

Perhaps startled by Jeong-hoon’s murderous intent, he let Eun-soo go easily.

Jeong-hoon carried Eun-soo, who had fainted in the cabinet covered in tears, out of the director’s office.

That was the last day.

After that, he never bothered Eun-soo again.

Kim Hyun-chul’s voice was heard in Jeong-hoon’s ears, who was lost in reminiscence.

“Hehehe, Jeong-hoon, Eun-soo!”

“Hearing that voice makes me feel sick,” Eun-soo retorted in a cold voice.

She was agitated, but fortunately, she seemed to have calmed down.

“Hehehe, Eun-soo, Director will put you in the cabinet for the first time in a while. No, would a bag be better than that?”

“I don’t know if you’ll have a chance. But what’s certain is that you’re going into the bag today. Feel it. How fun it is,” Eun-soo glared at him.

“Well, don’t you think this is your grave? What can only three of you do?”

Kim Hyun-chul had a confident expression.

However, it didn’t take even a minute for his expression to change.

A ‘thud’ sound was heard from outside, along with a crashing sound.

“Young Master, where are you?” Park Chang-soo’s voice was heard.

The men who were protecting Kim Hyun-chul launched a counterattack, but it was not enough.

They were pushed all the way to Kim Hyun-chul’s back in an instant.

Kim Hyun-chul, who was surrounded from the front and back, closed his eyes.

He gave up surprisingly easily.

Jeong-hoon looked at Kim Hyun-chul.

There was no fear or horror on his face.

“Is it drugs? Still, it doesn’t seem like you were this broken at Hope Orphanage.”

“It’s a life that only has a few months left anyway. My whole body is full of cancer cells. It’s a punishment, hehehe.”

“A punishment?”

Kim Hyun-chul turned his head to look at Kwak Hyun-soo.

“You’re Kwak Hyun-soo, right? You’re still the same even after all these years. You managed to come back alive. I would have felt much more comfortable if you had all died. Actually, I should have participated in that operation too. But I found out by chance that it was an operation you couldn’t come back alive from. Minister Chun Seong-han forced silence, and I succumbed. Instead of me, my closest colleague went in. Everything became boring after that day.”

“That doesn’t excuse you for abusing the children.”

He became more and more deeply intoxicated with drugs.

His imagination and reality, past and present, were mixed up.

He didn’t answer the question and only babbled his own words.

“In a meaningless life day after day, Ha In-seon, she was a goddess. But she was too noble to get close to. I really only saw her briefly from afar, but she was dazzlingly beautiful. I fell in love.”

Jeong-hoon turned his head to look at Eun-soo.

Her eyes were unusual.

She must have remembered that name too.

“I thought about today while leaving Hope Orphanage. I knew you would come. And Eun-soo too. I felt so good when I saw Eun-soo. Because it reminds me of Ha In-seon, whom I loved. So I tormented her even more persistently. Then I feel like I have her. Hehehe!”

Eun-soo couldn’t stand it any longer.

She flew up and punched him hard in the middle of his face.

He couldn’t avoid it because he was high on drugs.

He was hit in the face head-on and crashed into the wall.

Dark red blood and a few teeth flew out of his mouth.

“Die! You bastard.”

Eun-soo looked around, looking for something to grab.

Park Chang-soo went to Eun-soo and gave her his wooden sword.

-Thwack, thwack, thwack

Eun-soo, swept away by madness, mercilessly struck Kim Hyun-chul’s body here and there.

She beat him like a dog.

The surroundings turned red with the blood that splattered from Kim Hyun-chul’s body.

Eun-soo looked at him, who was only wriggling like a bug.

Her eyes were still blazing.

Eun-soo’s revenge was not over yet.

Jeong-hoon threw a large bag at Eun-soo.

Revenge is about getting your hands dirty, but you still have to do it.

That’s how you can escape the dirty nightmare.

Jeong-hoon looked at Eun-soo, who seemed hesitant.

“Shall I do it?”

“No. I’ll do it. This bastard has to experience it too. How painful it is.”

Eun-soo crumpled the wriggling man and put him in the bag.

Then, she said to Park Chang-soo.

“I have a favor to ask you. Please throw it in front of the police station tomorrow evening.”

Jeong-hoon looked at Park Chang-soo and nodded.

“I understand.”

“Please make sure he doesn’t die.”

Jeong-hoon instructed Park Chang-soo and then went outside.

Outside, the children were just sitting quietly.

A situation where the children, who should be running around noisily, were only looking around.

Jeong-hoon thought of the past.

His eyes turned red, and he choked up.

But he didn’t cry.

He had the ability and power to shine a light on a new life for those children.

He called Park Chang-soo, who was cleaning up behind him.

“Please move all those children to Hope Orphanage in Jungbu City.”

“I understand. I will make sure the children are not surprised. We will take care of this place. Let’s go in.”

“Yes, please.”

Jeong-hoon walked towards the car with Eun-soo.

He looked at Eun-soo.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah, I feel relieved. I put that old memory in the bag too. I don’t know if my illness will be cured yet, but I really feel relieved. Thank you, Jeong-hoon.”

Jeong-hoon was startled by Eun-soo’s hand reaching out to his.

‘Is she crazy?’

“Fuck you, you bastard. What are you trying to do, touching my hand so unlucky? Get lost, you bastard,” Jeong-hoon roughly refused.

“Hey, you si…”

-Thwack

Eun-soo, who was embarrassed, kicked Jeong-hoon’s butt hard.

It was the same spot as before.

A fatal vibration was transmitted to the place that reacts sensitively even to the slightest vibration just below the butt.

‘I’m going to kill that bastard.’

He shouted inwardly, but unlike his thoughts, his knees and head were already touching the floor.

The dark sky suddenly turned black.

In the car returning home.

Eun-soo was fast asleep, so deeply that she wouldn’t even know if she was carried on someone’s back because of the intense emotional exhaustion.

Jeong-hoon asked Kwak Hyun-soo.

“Uncle, who is Ha In-seon?”

“Well, she’s an actress who appeared very briefly and gained immense popularity before disappearing. Is it because of Eun-soo?”

“Yes,”

“They really look alike.”

Kwak Hyun-soo glanced at Eun-soo in the rearview mirror to check her condition.

“She’s sleeping. She won’t be able to hear anything.”

“I investigated just in case… but no traces were found. Nothing comes out even through Cha Young-mi and Chun Jin-hyeok.”

“Is that possible?”

“That’s what I’m saying. She was very mysterious back then too, but it’s too strange that no traces are found.”

“Really, could that person and Eun-soo be related?”

“It won’t be. But what’s certain is that Ha In-seon has many secrets.”

“Hmm… As Uncle said, Eun-soo and her probably have nothing to do with each other. But just in case, I hope that she and Eun-soo are a little related. Because there’s something I’m curious about.”

Jeong-hoon glanced at Eun-soo again to check her condition. She was still fast asleep.

“Eun-soo was found in a bag in the luggage compartment of an express bus. Who did that? Were they trying to kill Eun-soo? Or were they trying to save her? I don’t know at all.”

Jeong-hoon asked himself a question he couldn’t answer.

But it wasn’t an answer he could find.

He turned his head to look out the window.

Deep darkness.

He couldn’t see an inch ahead.

Only faint lights could be seen in the distance.

“Maybe they wanted to save her.”

“Yes? They wanted to save her? So they put a small child in a bag and put it in the luggage compartment…? I thought they were trying to kill her.”

“There must have been desperate and urgent circumstances. Maybe there was a moment when Eun-soo’s life was in danger. So that was the only way. I was like that too. In the old African operation, my comrade shot me next to my heart to save me. We were already surrounded. That friend died in battle… The enemies thought I was dead too and passed by. Just like they were trying to save me, Eun-soo must have been in that situation too.”

“I can’t understand it, but…”

Jeong-hoon took a long sigh and then continued.

“Uncle, please keep tracking down that Ha In-seon. I still feel uneasy.”

“Yes, I understand.”

The road to Seoul was quiet, but there was a lot of regret left because there were many things that hadn’t been settled.

The next day, Park Chang-soo moved as Jeong-hoon instructed. He threw Kim Hyun-chul, who had been in the bag for a day, in front of the Gongju Police Station.

He kindly marked it on the bag.

‘Drug Addict Delivery.’

The police who received the delivery were embarrassed.

Despite the wriggling and screams for help, they just stared blankly at the bag.

“Save me, please open it. I’m so scared. Ugh.”

The smell was so terrible that they couldn’t bring themselves to open it.

The police, who had no choice but to open the bag, covered their noses.

There was a man stained with all kinds of excrement.

With his eyes tightly closed, he rubbed his tied hands and constantly muttered to be saved.

***

Kang Sang-cheol, holding a broom, swept every corner.

Dust rose every time he moved the broom.

“President, I’ll do it. Why are you making more work?”

When Kang Sang-cheol, who was sweeping, straightened his back, the department head was staring at him.

One side of her lips was raised.

“Department Head Bang, are you laughing at me now? Right?”

“I’m not laughing. You came last time and saw everything. You clicked your tongue and left, didn’t you?”

“What are you talking about? Who came and saw what?”

“Should I call him Young Master or Chairman? That cold and aloof handsome man.”

“Damn it, why didn’t you tell me!” Kang Sang-cheol shouted loudly.

“I told you not to tell him!” Department Head Bang shouted even louder.

Kang Sang-cheol’s body was pushed back slightly by her momentum.

A chilling thrill.

It was a great murderous intent that subdued the opponent at once.

As expected, the hysteria of a 40-year-old spinster was great.

‘I need to be careful.’

“President, you’ve memorized all the briefing materials, right?”

“Of course. Trust me.”

Kang Sang-cheol shrugged his shoulders.

His whole body was full of confidence.

He looked at the data again.

After flipping through a few pages, Kang Sang-cheol felt that he was great for a moment.

He was deeply moved, although Department Head Bang helped.

To think that he, who used to be a loan shark in the back alleys, would become the president of a loan company with extensive knowledge of finance.

He felt that he had grown rapidly on his own.

If it weren’t for that person, he would still be eating jajangmyeon [Korean-Chinese noodle dish] in a smelly old office today.

Now he is wearing a decent suit and a luxury tie.

Tears welled up in his eyes for a moment.

‘Is it menopause? I’m too sentimental. But why isn’t Young Master coming?’

It was when he was wiping his moist eyes.

Yoon Jeong-hoon entered the office.

The Young Master, whom he had seen in a long time, seemed to be shining.

In his early 20s. He was a mythical figure who had built a conglomerate within the top 20 in less than 2 years.

Not only that.

Everyone changes when they are next to him.

Kang Sang-cheol himself grew intellectually, and his drinking buddy, Prosecutor Kim Soo-ho, grew ethically.

He was elevating everyone with him like that.

Kang Sang-cheol didn’t think it was strange that he was shining brilliantly.

Of course, he was an existence that had to shine.

Kang Sang-cheol, who was staring blankly at Jeong-hoon without greeting him.

Department Head Bang greeted him.

“Ahem, hello. Chairman.”

“Have you arrived? Young Master!”

Jeong-hoon greeted him with a smile and then sat on the sofa.

“I don’t have much time today. Let’s start right away.”

Kang Sang-cheol stood in front of Jeong-hoon.

He opened his mouth, looking slightly nervous.

The name of the attractive savings bank came out of his mouth.
