"Enough of that. Did you come here just to deliver a message for Magu God?"
"No, I didn't. I was originally looking for your help. Magu God suddenly appeared and asked me to deliver a message to you, so I took the opportunity to ask for some compensation. …Now that the problem is solved, I'll be leaving. There's still a lot to do at the hotel!"
After Jang Man-Wol finished speaking, she didn't wait for Lee Yeong to respond before she flashed away.
Lee Yeong looked at the spot where Jang Man-Wol had disappeared and could only sigh inwardly, thinking it was a mistake to befriend her. One shouldn't be too much like Jang Man-Wol!
Time flew by, and evening arrived. Lee Yeong and Eun Sang's mother discussed the engagement with Eun Sang and planned to have them move in to live together.
However, Eun Sang's mother expressed that she didn't want to disturb Eun Sang and Lee Yeong's life as a couple. In the end, it was only after Cha Eun Sang's persistent persuasion that she agreed to move in.
"Young Master, the eighth of next month is an auspicious day. How about setting your engagement date with Miss Eun Sang for that day?"
Jennifer checked the calendar and factors like the weather. January eighth was the best day before the new year.
"Mm-hmm, that works. The engagement banquet will be held at the manor. I'll entrust all the specific arrangements to you, Jennifer. Sister Do Jien, in a couple of days, I'll give you a guest list. I'll trouble you with making the invitations, and I'll arrange for someone to deliver them. As for Choi Micheala and Xia Lan, you can follow Jennifer's arrangements."
"Understood, Young Master. We will make sure it's perfect."
"Then I'll leave it to you all. After the engagement banquet, I can fulfill one small wish for each of you. You can think about it carefully, or else I can't help you if you regret it later!"
After Lee Yeong finished speaking, he gave Jennifer some more instructions before leaving the manor.
He hadn't checked on Jiwoo's cultivation progress these past few days, so he decided to go for a visit.
However, he didn't use the Menmen Fruit's ability. Instead, he drove his Wuling God Car towards his hometown.
Ever since Lee Yeong gave Jiwoo the sword techniques and mental cultivation methods of City of Love, Jiwoo had been cultivating day and night, because it didn't progress slowly like the Taiji Mysterious Clarity Dao.
During this time, Jiwoo practiced with a short sword. She had now completely memorized the sword moves. Although she couldn't execute them proficiently yet, it was only because she didn't have anyone to spar with.
At this moment, outside a grilled pork belly restaurant, Lee Yeong was preparing to pack a grilled meat rice bowl for Jiwoo. This was the most frequent thing he did whenever he went to see Jiwoo.
Just then, a middle-aged man in a black leather jacket pushed open the door and came out of the shop. Lee Yeong was about to order, but unexpectedly, the middle-aged female boss and the young female staff member chased after him. Lee Yeong had no choice but to wait at the entrance.
The man in the leather jacket had just gotten into his car and was about to start the engine when the female boss and staff member rushed forward.
"Sir, this gentleman, please leave your cigarettes and lighter! Smoking is bad for your health and can cause cancer…"
The man in the leather jacket, however, showed no appreciation and directly interrupted the boss.
"Whether other people smoke or not, what does it have to do with you, boss? Get out of the way, I'm leaving!"
"But you'll die if you smoke!"
Seeing that the other party wasn't listening to their advice at all, the female staff member also quickly spoke up. The result was predictable.
"Are you two women crazy? You're cursing me to die! Get out of my way now!"
The man in the leather jacket was enraged and directly pushed the two women to the ground. The staff member, who had fallen to the ground, didn't give up and continued to say:
"You really will die if you smoke. Just listen to me this one time. It doesn't matter if you think I'm a liar, just please don't smoke."
The man in the leather jacket ignored them and drove away, leaving the two women standing there.
"I brought this. Will this work?"
"Forget it, it's useless. That's that person's fate!"
The two seemed to have different opinions about something.
"How can there be such a principle? If you know, you have to change it!"
At this moment, snowflakes suddenly began to fall from the sky. Lee Yeong looked at this scene and felt a sense of déjà vu. He took out his phone and immediately searched based on the two women's appearances.
A moment later, Lee Yeong knew their identities: Yoon Moon-sun and Nam Hong Joo, mother and daughter. The daughter could see the future through dreams but fell into despair because she couldn't change the occurrence of tragedies. The mother always supported her, believing that her daughter would one day recover.
"Sir, are you here to eat? Please come in quickly!"
Yoon Moon-sun saw Lee Yeong standing at the entrance and felt a bit embarrassed, so she quickly invited Lee Yeong into the shop.
"Yes, boss! I'd like a grilled meat rice bowl to go, and another crispy grilled meat."
"I'm so sorry for making you wait a bit longer. Please have a seat, it'll be ready soon!"
"Auntie, as the saying goes, do your best and leave the rest to fate. It's not your fault that you couldn't stop him."
Lee Yeong's words startled Yoon Moon-sun and Nam Hong Joo. They hadn't expected that everything they said had been overheard by the other party, yet they were also surprised by what the other party said.
"You heard everything we said? You're willing to believe what we said?"
"Let's not talk about how you knew; that man, from his appearance, is about fifty years old, and he's been smoking for at least twenty or thirty years. He was holding a flint steel wheel lighter, and when he drove away, the engine sounded muffled, meaning his fuel must be almost gone.
Therefore, he will definitely go to a gas station. Combining these factors, the probability of him having an explosion accident is over 95%."
This deduction immediately shocked the mother and daughter. Had they encountered Detective Conan?
"So, it's not because of what we said that you believe us, but because you deduced these things and then chose to believe us?"
"No, that's not it. Actually, what I just said was all made up, after all, I'm not a detective. I truly believe what you said, after all, being able to see the future is truly an incredible ability!"
Lee Yeong was no longer going to joke with them. He had an idea in his mind; perhaps Nam Hong Joo could help him.
Nam Hong Joo and her mother were truly startled this time. Lee Yeong actually knew that she could see the future through dreams. Could this person have come specifically to find her?
"Who are you? I don't know what you're talking about? We were just joking with that person. We'll go prepare your food now."
"Auntie, I have no ill intentions. Meeting you was also a coincidence. Don't you also always believe what your daughter sees in her dreams?"
"Then how do you know about my daughter Hongjoo's ability? Do you really have no bad intentions?"
Yoon Moon-sun was worried that Lee Yeong wanted to use her daughter's ability to do something illegal.
"I can't tell you how I know right now, but I promise I have absolutely no ill intentions. Otherwise, I wouldn't be telling you so much, would I?"
"How do you expect us to believe that you have no ill intentions towards us, and how do you know about Hongjoo's ability? Until you tell us, I won't believe you! You can go, I'm not doing your business!"
Saying that, she tried to drive Lee Yeong out. Lee Yeong was a bit helpless, but seeing Yoon Moon-sun's attitude at the moment, he didn't plan to press further.
Turning, he came before Nam Hong Joo. As he slipped his business card into her hand, he whispered to her:
"How about this: this is my contact information. Tonight, you will dream of the scene where your mother dies because of you. If you are willing to believe me, you can contact me anytime."
