The Legend of Return
Chapter 297. Chinatown (2)
Quiririring~♬ Kiyiyi~♫.
The sound after the traditional Chinese instrument flowed through the speaker.
Dragon Court, a dim sum restaurant in Chinatown, is decorated in a fairly large space with red lanterns and Chinese ceramics.
Today, as always, the atmosphere was cool.
It was a Manhattan landmark that captivated the taste buds of New Yorkers enough to be nominated for a Michelin star.
“what? Why are you so quiet?”
Entering the restaurant, Do-hee saw the empty seats and tilted her head.
On weekends, it was a place where you couldn’t get a seat without a prior reservation.
It is a famous New York attraction that attracts foodies even on weekdays.
But today, even if it’s quiet, it’s too quiet.
“Is this right?”
Kim Hanbyul opened her eyes wide and looked around.
Except for the flowing music, there was not a single waiter in sight.
The atmosphere of the restaurant was strange enough to be described as having a strange atmosphere.
“Hey~.”
Do-hee called someone randomly.
“…..”
After all, no one appeared as a person.
Instead…
“Are you here?”
A man suddenly poked his head out from the kitchen.
“uh! What are you!!!”
Do Do-hee screamed in embarrassment.
“What is this? It’s a college alumni gathering. That’s why I came.”
A short Asian man wearing glasses appeared.
The appearance of revealing teeth and smiling broadly seemed to be a pretense to hide some meanness.
“Where are the other friends?”
Do-hee looked for another friend with anxious eyes.
“Is Manhattan traffic a bit crowded? He’ll be back even if it’s late~”
“….Jangcheon.”
Do Do-hee called the man’s name.
A Chinese man suddenly appeared one day while attending Princeton Graduate School.
He introduced himself as having come to receive a degree from a university in Hong Kong.
Do-hee opened her heart as a colleague despite being not tall and acting innocently.
As I am an Asian student, I wanted to help.
Surprisingly, even at a prestigious university, racial discrimination was severe.
At the time, Do-hee was in the midst of not only academic stress, but also the bankruptcy of her father’s business.
Even the child of a concubine could not enjoy seeing his father’s company go bankrupt.
Even though he was a father whom he had never seen before, Do-hee was heartbroken by Dae-woong’s passing.
At that time, Jangcheon took good care of Do Do-hee, as if to repay Do-hee’s consideration.
Jiang Chen was from a wealthy family and lived alone in a large mansion.
There, Do Do-hee’s favorite party was often held.
Like most rich Chinese sons, he drove a supercar and liked to treat his friends.
Do-hee was also treated to a wonderful meal.
But it was just there.
Then, one day, Jangcheon suddenly confessed to Do-hee.
He said he loved her and proposed formally.
Jang Cheon even prepared a large diamond ring weighing several carats.
At the time, Jangcheon rented the entire restaurant just to say that he was dating, not a marriage proposal.
Do-hee refused right on the spot.
It wasn’t a style I liked, and I wanted to be faithful to self-development rather than love business.
Money was not in short supply, so he was not seduced by material things.
Do-hee Do-hee was also the daughter of a family whose father was a world-class conglomerate.
He politely said that he wanted to be good friends.
Embarrassed and disappointed, Jang Cheon even shed tears.
It hurt all along that I had rejected him who was full of pure love, but I turned away.
It was from then.
Do-hee often encountered Jang-cheon in various places.
Wherever Do Do-hee was active, he encountered them like a lie.
It was then that I realized that everything was planned.
The stalker was certain.
I got goosebumps.
I came to know about it through the mouth of a friend who happened to be invited to Jangcheon’s house.
A friend who was surprised that there was a picture of Do-hee Do-hee plastered in Jang-cheon’s room told me.
After hearing the sound, Do Do-hee kept as far away from Jang-cheon as possible.
However, we had to spend time together inevitably.
I was guided by a professor in the same major subject.
During my PhD, I chose a different professor.
It was not an easy decision, but I couldn’t help but feel Jiang Chun’s gaze spying on me even during class.
It was unbearable.
As soon as he graduated, he got a job on Wall Street as if he were running away.
Afterwards, I heard that Jangcheon also entered Wall Street, but he did not contact me.
Occasionally, I contacted him like a coincidence, but he turned away.
After hearing the news that he was going to Korea, Jangcheon sent an e-mail saying that he wanted to see him.
I even thought about meeting him once, thinking that it might have been a misunderstanding as time passed.
When I was thinking about that in Korea, Hanbyeol Kim advised me not to meet a man like a ghost.
He was Jiang Chen.
Such Jangcheon appeared here.
‘Could it be… this too?’
Do-hee, as usual, doubted Jang-cheon.
The last news was that he was working as an executive at a Chinese investment company on Wall Street based on his family fortune.
I also heard rumors that several of my friends had joined the Jangcheon company.
“What are you looking at? Do you doubt sit down I prepared dim sum for you. You like dim sum.”
Jiang Chen smiled brightly.
Do Do-hee had goosebumps all over her body.
Dim sum was a dish I came to like after coming to Wall Street.
It had nothing to do with Jiang Chen.
“Oh no, it’s okay. I will stop today.”
“already?”
Jangcheon’s happy face hardened for an instant as he talked about dim sum.
His eyes were also cold.
“I don’t think this is. Jiang Chen, I don’t have the confidence to see you like this yet.”
Do Do-hee definitely spoke up.
Two strong bodyguards are waiting outside.
Kim Hanbyeol was also next to me.
“Huh-huh-huh…”
Jiang Chun’s laugh was so low that it made him goosebumps.
“Why can’t I?”
Jangcheon walked out and looked at Doh Dohee.
“What what?”
“Is the Korean guy you like okay and I can’t? why? Because you’re short? Or is it because the face is ugly? Dohee. you have been good to me I know that feeling….. I was by your side when you were having a hard time because of your father. so come to me I’m having a hard time because of you. I will forget all the past Jang Tae-san bastard… I’ll save you.”
Zhang Chun slowly approached and spoke as if muttering.
I already knew about the representative.
‘This bastard is crazy!’
Realizing that Jang Chun’s obsession is bigger and more dangerous than he thought, Do Hee gasped for breath.
He wasn’t an ordinary stalker.
He knew everything that happened in Korea.
It even reached the point of threatening the president’s life.
“What nonsense! Jangcheon! i don’t like you! I’ve never had feelings for more than friends!”
Do Do-hee’s voice broke out sharply.
She was genuinely outraged.
I shouted loudly so that the bodyguard waiting outside could hear me.
“bodyguard? Are you sleeping. It’s no use calling. Today, this is a party prepared for you. With your friends…. Let’s eat and enjoy. We… We did that when we were in school. We comforted each other while drinking wine and enjoying cooking at my house…”
Jiang Chun’s eyes became hazy.
Jangcheon’s eyes are filled with happiness as she recalls the past.
“We were friends back then!”
“I am the same then and now. Do Do-hee….. You are my forever friend~ Hehehe.”
Jangcheon’s eyes, glistening with morbid obsession, were only directed at Do Do-hee.
Born into a noble family, there was never a time when I didn’t get what I wanted.
I even used a helicopter when I was in elementary school.
I drove a supercar in middle school.
An accident caused the death of a poor farmer, but no one was held accountable.
Jiang Chen lived like an emperor in China.
At his father’s order to experience the world in a big way, he went to study in the United States.
Several bodyguards guarded him from unnoticed.
Studying in the US was different from boring life in China or Hong Kong.
Everyone looked at Jiang Chen, who was short and wearing glasses, looking at him awkwardly.
Their attitude and unfamiliar experiences were fresh.
Life wasn’t bad either.
I watched them like that with a double look.
Those who discriminate or behave rudely tried their hand at faking various accidents without rumors.
As time passed, the people who looked down on Jangchun disappeared.
Jiang Chen enjoyed playing ordinary Chinese students to the fullest.
I had a paranoid habit, but I forgot about it for a while in my new life in America.
Everyday life, no different from others, has come with a new taste.
It was like an outing for a while.
Then I met Do-hee.
A Korean beauty that definitely stood out.
Unlike China, where anyone could take it by simply stretching out his hand, Jang Cheon poured his passion into Do Hee.
It was on a different level from the women who would dig into their arms on their own if they gave them money.
I wanted to defeat Do Do-hee, who had a popping charm and was confident anywhere.
Meticulously planned and approached.
However, Do-hee hit the wall harder than Jang-chun thought.
Even when I showed them nice houses and cars and checked them out, they didn’t show interest.
I think I like my friends, so I threw a party and played a lot of nice things.
Whenever that happened, Do Do-hee only spit out words of thanks.
I endured it because I knew that I was not interested in men as well as myself.
The dissatisfaction with the things I didn’t own continued to pile up.
He started monitoring everything around Do Do-hee.
I had to figure out not only her father, but also her every move.
He started an investment company on Wall Street to be with her.
He hired some of his alumni as employees to get in touch with Do-hee.
And today, the plan was perfectly realized.
“it’s crazy? Jangcheon! You are a stalker!”
Do-hee accused Do-hee of being a stalker like a thunderbolt.
“that’s right. I love you. So everything can be forgiven. Eat delicious Dim Sum…. Let’s go to the paradise I prepared. I bought a nice island. You can live there… like a queen. Your friend over there acts as a lady-in-waiting. I am the emperor and you are the queen~ How can you kill just thinking about it?”
Jiang Chen’s amazing plan, full of twisted desire and obsession with love, was revealed.
“Crazy bastard…..”
A curse burst from Do-hee’s mouth.
I was terrified and ashamed of this moment as I listened to Jiang Chen’s words.
I said I was careful, but I didn’t know that I would have planned so meticulously.
How much money does he have to plan a kidnapping in the middle of Manhattan?
Even close friends have already become friends with Jangchun.
No one could be trusted now.
‘Let’s get out of here quickly. If you go outside… there are cops!’
Do-hee noticed Kim Han-byul.
Kim Han-byeol, who was looking at Jangcheon as if lost in thought, is at peace unlike before.
“Do you have char siu-sou? I really like that.”
“???”
Kim Han-byeol suddenly asks about the type of dim sum.
“Sister…..we now…..”
“If you don’t have that, Hagaw is good too. You know that shrimp tastes better when it’s firm, right?”
Kim Hanbyeol looked at Jangcheon and talked casually.
“Of course, everything is ready.”
“Draft beer. where is the product? I heard that Manhattan Chocolate Beer is famous, right?”
Kim Han-byul was not at all intimidated by this crisis situation.
Rather, he seemed excited.
“What’s wrong with you sister! We are locked up now!”
The door to the restaurant was lowered to the shutter and closed tightly.
I could see several shadows in the kitchen and behind the objects.
In the event of an emergency, Jiang Chun’s bodyguards could attack him.
It was unfamiliar to Kim Han-byul, who was able to relax in an extremely tense situation.
“Quack. Because he’s Dohee’s friend, he has a good personality~ I’ll prepare that too. Because today will be our last supper~”
Jangcheon looked at Kim Hanbyul and licked his lips.
After the latent desire exploded, there was no need to hide the dirty inside anymore.
‘That bitch is fine too. Hehe.’
Jang Cheon was deeply grateful to Do Do Hee.
I was thinking of stomping on it until I got tired of it.
He said it was love, but he knew very well that it was just an obsession for something he didn’t have.
After owning it, it was obvious that I would soon get tired of it.
So was the woman.
“I’m hungry. Can’t you give it to me quickly?”
“I have a lot of time.”
“What are you talking about? Time is running out.”
At Jangcheon’s words, Kim Hanbyeol replied with a smile.
“What nonsense! All of your time is mine now!”
“No, it’s not you, it’s his.”
“He?”
“It’s a waste….. I really don’t have time…..”
Kim Hanbyeol said and looked at the grandfather clock hanging in the center of the restaurant.
“Sister… what’s wrong?”
Do-hee Do-hee, who was aware of Kim Han-byul’s unusual symptoms, asked in a panic.
“If that hand points to 8 o’clock…”
Dang! dang! dang! dang! dang! dang! dang! dang!
The grandfather clock rang slowly but accurately eight times.
Aaaaaaaang!
Just then, the door to the restaurant, which had been locked, exploded with a strong roar.
And…
“Come!”
Kim Han-byul cheers like crazy.
Surprised by the sudden roar, Jangcheon and Doh Dohee quickly turned to the door of the restaurant.
