Chapter 90

Eyes Flash!

The Taeseong family patient helping event held in the corner of the Taeseong Hospital lobby.

I instead of standing on the high podium, only put the megaphone close to the mouth and read the support certificate clearly.

“······Thus presenting this certificate. Sponsor Cha Jeong-hyeok and Taeseong Group executive staff all.”

“Thank you! Hehehe.”

“Congratulations. Here flower bouquet.”

“Thank you, oppa. Yahoo, fun! Mom, dad! Look at this, I received an award too, and received a flower bouquet too!”

Every time handing over the support fund certificate I recited, the children wearing patient clothes smiled brightly like flowers.

Even with IV stuck, unable to control the rising excitement and jumping around hop hop, or shaking hips on the spot and dancing.

Even wearing patient clothes, a child was a child.

“Aigo, well done! Well done!”

“Right, right! Wahahaha!”

“Looking at dancing well, will heal soon! Hohoho!”

Every time like that, the Taeseong family gathered at this place of course even the U-gwang people burst thunderous applause and cheers.

To the extent of confusing whether this is a charity event, a support fund award ceremony, or a children’s talent show.

Whatever it became, everyone looked very joyful enough that it doesn’t matter.

Then enough, what.

“Hyung, thank you. Really, really, really, hugely thank you!”

No matter how young, no matter how sick, know what to know.

Would also know that thanks to this support, the household burden lessened.

So that chestnut-sized guy is teary saying thank you.

“When I heal all next, I’ll definitely repay. Really! So promise~”

I’m a person who doesn’t believe promises like hooking little fingers.

Have to be able to refuse the heart attached to that small hand stuck with IV.

“Promise.”

Click! Click! Click! Click!

Clap clap clap clap clap clap!

Like that I handed over the support certificate as many as twenty-five times.

A repeated matter, but not one was hard.

Because the children’s laughter immediately became my joy.

“Young Master Jeong-hyeok, really dignified. Look at reading the support certificate. A very clever person, chairman.”

“Hahaha, of course! Taeseong’s bloodline, if eight years old, have to be that level!”

“Right. The Young Master seems to resemble the chairman a lot.”

“Natural words! Exactly seems like seeing my childhood? From face to body type, my exact replica. Hahaha!”

Secretary Kim and grandfather sitting on the front row bench sent enthusiastic applause enough that palms become numb.

Father slightly tilted his body toward mother sitting next to and whispered in the ear.

The father’s whisper that the underworld messenger amplified sensibly was heard clearly.

“Honestly, doesn’t our Jeong-hyeok resemble me more than father?”

Mother covered the mouth area with a hand and laughed, but,

“Not a joke. Asking seriously. Me, or father?”

On father’s face, no smile could be found.

“Is this a matter to make such a serious face?”

Mother folded her eyes like a crescent moon and whispered small in father’s ear.

“Of course resembles senior more. Whose son.”

“As expected so? Anyway our father’s stubbornness is really······ can’t stop.”

Only then father also couldn’t hide a contented smile.

The underworld messenger who couldn’t stand shook his head.

Click! Click! Click! Click!

The camera flashes bursting noisily were not only those of the media and broadcast stations.

“Young Master, smile! Right! Exactly that!”

Yu Jong-tae was catching all kinds of angles even lying on the hospital lobby floor.

Every time like that, the instant camera flash that father gave burst click! click!

“Wow, whose house young master is really handsome! Little miss also smile together! No, why is the flower bouquet still not here!”

“Here it is! Our little miss was a bit late choosing the prettiest rose!”

The Taeseong Group security guard quickly handed over the flower bouquet.

Kim Gap-yong’s daughter smiled brightly and hugged the flower bouquet.

“Thank you. Too pretty. Hmm, the scent is also too good. Really the best.”

It was a happy smile.

Kim Gap-yong too, his wife too, even the colleagues who attended Taeseong Chemicals continuously made happy smiles enough that the expressions were bright.

‘Good.’

Like that my first event held in the corner of Taeseong Hospital ended in laughter.

On the occasion of gathering all together, spread newspapers on the hospital floor and sat and ate lunch boxes with warm tea.

After even cleaning up neatly and saying goodbye and parting, such a small event.

* * *

‘Is that modest event a matter that floats so gorgeously?’

I couldn’t hide absurdity.

Have heard the words of becoming a star when sleeping and waking, but didn’t know that small event would decorate the newspaper front page as large as a door leaf when sleeping and waking.

The reason the Taeseong Group chairman and all affiliate executive staff gathered at Taeseong Hospital? Taeseong family patient helping!

Eight-year-old organizer? For peer friends! Taeseong is one family!

America surprised, China shocked, Japan stood up! The century’s charity event held at one hospital in the Republic of Korea!

The reason the Blue House called the Taeseong Group head and praised fully?

Article titles that would be seen on 21st century YouTube thumbnails were also occasionally visible.

‘No, not enough with the newspaper front page, even politics page, economy page, society page to culture page?’

Photos or titles are all large.

Really carried a lot.

‘Wow, how can every newspaper company all Taeseong, Taeseong, Taeseong! Cover with Taeseong’s name?’

Even doing, all kinds of interviews and columns were carried.

So the more reading, hollow laughs couldn’t help but come out.

‘Can float that small and insignificant event so largely?’

At this part, I ended up realizing the power of the chaebol family of this era.

Where is there more clear evidence than this that if setting mind, can exercise this level of influence on the media.

‘On the other hand, the U-gwang Hospital joint memorial altar news that naturally should have had much more interest concentrated than Taeseong Hospital’s small event was buried small.’

That differed a bit in size by newspaper company, but commonly carried small in the corner of the society page.

The footsteps of mourners visiting the joint memorial altar prepared at U-gwang Hospital continued.

Social figures and politicians from all walks of life finished offering incense and returned.

U-gwang Chemicals deceased, sleep peacefully in the tearful farewell ceremony.

The intention was clear.

To cover U-gwang’s shame.

‘Heard U-gwang is tightly holding the media.’

Even in newspapers where U-gwang’s influence is strong, pushing Taeseong Hospital’s event to the front page, let alone newspapers where Taeseong’s influence is strong, no need to say more.

Articles carrying specifically even the matter of father taking care of the victim families of the U-gwang Chemicals fire accident came out in a row.

‘Secretary Kim’s skill.’

Suddenly when doubt arose why piled up newspapers so much today, even newspapers that usually don’t receive.

“Oh my, our Jeong-hyeok was carried on the newspaper front page?”

Mother looked at the newspaper and couldn’t hide laughter from the morning.

From the kitchen, the landlady grandmother stuck only her head out holding a ladle and smiled.

“I was surprised receiving the newspaper at dawn? How excited. Told Cheol-gu to buy all by newspaper company!”

“Well done.”

Mother immediately held scissors and began cutting the articles.

Even the landlady grandmother who was preparing breakfast turned off the gas fire and participated in the newspaper scrap.

“Oh my, this have to hang in a frame.”

“Better to hang on that wall. Jeong-hyeok’s mom, I’ll drive the nail.”

“Grandma, mom. Now seems enough to stop. Honestly this is not a matter to make such a fuss······.”

Clack.

“Jeong-hyeok, you do this.”

A mountain-like dried anchovies and one basket of bean sprouts, and a garlic bundle there.

It was the price of saying correct words.

“······.”

Ring!

Just in time the phone rang luckily! Saved!

“Hello?”

-It’s big uncle. You came out really well in the photo? Hahaha, no thought of trying entertainer? Cool, our nephew! Next shall we go eat jajangmyeon together? Hahaha!

Ring!

-Saw the newspaper. Congratulations. Heard newly building Taeseong Hospital largely in Gangnam in our nephew’s name?

“Second uncle, forgot that can’t ask questions until answering the remaining question debt to me?”

-Congratulations. Anyway, big uncle has to personally take care of our nephew’s entrance gift? Can look forward.

Ring!

-Jeong-hyeok! Why didn’t wear the clothes aunt chose and went? The coat fur doesn’t flow gloss! Come to the department store. Aunt will choose a few more coats. Oh, tell mother to receive a massage once.

It was a mess like this mess.

Ring!

“Senior, Jeong-hyeok came out on the news too? Oh my, I didn’t see.”

The landlady grandmother who was hanging the frame jumped down from the chair with a hop.

“Heard there’s a video recording machine here too? Can’t record the news?”

“Don’t know because never tried. There would be something. Shall we try once in this opportunity?”

Eventually even mother who usually doesn’t even pretend to watch television secured the channel right!

The underworld messenger held his cheek and screamed.

[No! My serial drama!]

‘Hey, guardian deity! Wait. Wait a minute! Why opening eyes like that to our mother?’

[······.]

‘Oh? Not lowering eyes? Don’t turn on the television from now on?’

[Can’t even open eyes as I want······.]

The underworld messenger sat down flop on the floor.

[Passed serial dramas don’t return······.]

Can’t help.

Life is originally carrot and stick.

‘Instead if doing the ordered work well and behaving well, will buy one more television. Larger than that, latest style, the most expensive and good one. How?’

The underworld messenger opened his eyes flash.

[What should I do how?]

‘Bulgwang-dong Gasoline. Have to extract some information about that guy.’

[Hmm, curious about such things like where that guy lives?]

‘Not at all.’

That’s Secretary Kim’s share.

If Secretary Kim, will faithfully carry out grandfather’s order and dig out all from Bulgwang-dong Gasoline’s personal matters to surrounding relationships.

Because that’s basic.

[Then the sound of following the back? Like following the back of that cunning guy of U-gwang?]

‘No. No need to do so.’

[Otherwise, won’t be able to capture the decisive moment that guy does fishy things?]

‘Enough. I’m not the police either.’

On-site arrest is the police’s share.

Moreover, Bulgwang-dong Gasoline already has many sins committed.

‘The U-gwang Chemicals fire accident.’

An earthquake occurred in the underworld messenger’s pupils.

‘The leash of U-gwang that Bulgwang-dong Gasoline is holding. Have to find out what that is.’

What I need is only that.

The rest Secretary Kim will fill.

If not Secretary Kim, Uncle Cheol-gu wouldn’t have met Bulgwang-dong Gasoline and those minions in the Seobinggo water torture room.

That is also the sound that Secretary Kim caught a tail that Uncle Cheol-gu can interrogate and handed over.

‘How did Bulgwang-dong Gasoline come out of the Central Intelligence Agency water torture room with body intact? Precisely because holding U-gwang’s decisive weakness. That weakness, I have to obtain.’

[He, heavenly secret leak? Now telling me to leak heavenly secret······!]

The underworld messenger trembled like struck by lightning.

[Can’t do that······!]

‘Who said leak heavenly secret?’

[······Then?]

‘Just use your minions and find out.’

[What? Who? My minions?]

‘How did you obtain this house’s safe information?’

Well, the underworld messenger beat the earth-bound spirit attached to this mansion and dug out the information.

‘Did that get caught in heavenly secret leak then? No.’

[Oho!]

Only then the underworld messenger pulled up his mouth corner.

[Anyway that guy, because many karma committed, vengeful spirits and miscellaneous ghosts are boiling around.]

The underworld messenger clenched both fists tightly.

[I’ll go and return.]

* * *

[Found! Caught! Did it!]

The underworld messenger returned majestically and confidently.

Spreading shoulders of course even chest, the underworld messenger put hands on the waist and laughed largely.

[This underworld messenger found out about the leash of U-gwang that the guy called Bulgwang-dong Gasoline was hiding! Hahaha!]

Good!

I rubbed my palms.

‘Where is it? How does it look? What is that?’

[Don’t know.]

Is this bastard playing now?

When my eyes narrowed, the underworld messenger smiled meaningfully.

[Found out who has that weakness.]

Oh!

If only finding out who, recovering separately is nothing!

[Additionally, also found out in what way Bulgwang-dong Gasoline who was dragged to the Seobinggo water torture room and couldn’t move called U-gwang.]

Excellent!

‘The sound that if I put this in hand, Bulgwang-dong Gasoline has no way to escape the Seobinggo water torture room?’

The threat toward U-gwang will be done not by Bulgwang-dong Gasoline, but by our Taeseong.

Just in time we have a talent who can certainly put a knife to U-gwang.

‘Secretary Kim.’

Time to use his business card.

For that, shall I bring one gift that can lessen Secretary Kim’s hard work?

Anyway, if an ordinary human, difficult to dig easily, and high-level information that can greatly lessen Secretary Kim’s work?
