April in the World, Kim Ji-soo (asking for monthly ticket)

Seo Taesoo seemed to have anticipated that Song Baekho, a man without moral bottom line, would never abide by such an agreement.

“If anything happens to Lee So-hee, Song Baekho must face sanctions from the entire body of Prosecutors!”

“Chief Yang, I hope you will be a witness!”

Seo Taesoo turned to Lee Se-hyun: “Senior Li, I hope you will also be a witness.”

“With pleasure.” Lee Se-hyun readily agreed. This was all his idea for Seo Taesoo, so of course he wouldn't refuse.

“I disagree!” Song Baekho objected, but everyone present ignored him as if he were air.

Yang Dong-cheol thought it over repeatedly; the atmosphere was already set. It was just agreeing to a verbal agreement, which wouldn’t affect him.

“Alright!”

In the matter of Song Baekho, Lee Se-hyun and Seo Taesoo emerged as the biggest winners, with Song Baekho being used as a bargaining chip by the two.

One could say it was aEveryone is happy (everyone happy) ending.

In the evening, Lee Se-hyun, Seo Taesoo, and Yang Dong-cheol were at a barbecue restaurant, drinking heavily and eating meat heartily, almost like sworn brothers.

Except for Lee Se-hyun, the other two were completely drunk and unconscious, and were sent home by various Administrative Officers.

“Cheng Du, you can go straight home. You don’t need to send me.”

“This… isn’t good, Prosecutor Li.” Cheng Du hesitated. How could a leader drive himself, especially since Lee Se-hyun had drunk some water?

Lee Se-hyun patted Cheng Du’s shoulder: “Don’t worry, this is nothing! I’m not even a little bit drunk!”

Are you kidding? A human with four times the physique, the Peninsula Captain, who is as famous as Pretty Captain, is he just bragging to you?!

Lee Se-hyun truly felt like he had only had a little water.

Seeing that Lee Se-hyun was indeed acting completely normal, Cheng Du no longer demurred.

Before leaving, he was only puzzled: When did Prosecutor Li’s alcohol tolerance get so good?! The current Prosecutor Li was a completely different person from the past Prosecutor Li, except for his appearance.

Cheng Du shook his head. What did it matter if he was different or not? Was this something he should be concerned about?

...Gangnam District, Park Jeong-nam Convenience Store.

Lee Se-hyun drove late at night to a convenience store. Feeling a bit hungry, he planned to buy some instant noodles and bread to fill his stomach.

Before, with Yang Dong-cheol and the others, he had focused on drinking water. The barbecue on The Peninsula was both expensive and small, and he hadn't even eaten his fill.

Lee Se-hyun walked into the convenience store, greeted by a tired-looking, fatigued young female cashier who gave a professional welcome.

“annyeonghaseyo…”

Lee Se-hyun didn't look closely and walked straight into the convenience store, picking out a bucket of Old Tan Sauerkraut from Xia Country, and buying some bread and sausages piecemeal.

“That’ll be eighteen thousand Peninsula Country currency. Thank you for your patronage.”

Dynasty!

Lee Se-hyun was still startled by The Peninsula's currency system, which always dealt in tens of thousands. He, a Xia Country Person, was a bit unaccustomed to it.

“Dollars?”

Lee Yu-mok was a bit surprised to see Lee Se-hyun pay with US dollars, but she didn’t think too much of it.

The Peninsula Country accepts Piaoliang Guo's currency system. After some exchange rate calculations, Lee Yu-mok prepared to give the customer his change.

Lee Se-hyun had already walked away.

“Hey! You haven’t taken your change yet!” Lee Yu-mok chased out of the convenience store door but couldn't see Lee Se-hyun.

Lee Yu-mok sighed. Every day there were all sorts of customers. She stuffed the hundred-dollar bill into her pocket, and her complexion became a little rosier.

“A hundred US dollars is enough for a week’s salary.”

“These rich people! axi!” Lee Yu-mok grumbled, then returned to her post and diligently continued working.

At this moment, Lee Se-hyun was starving. He just wanted to make a bowl of fragrant instant noodles, then shout, “Cheers, brothers!”

Lee Se-hyun drove with one hand, eating bread to fill his stomach. Outside the car window, a catchy tune played in the distance.

“You love me, I love you~”

“Mixue Ice Cream, sweet as honey~”

“You love…”

Lee Se-hyun stopped the car and looked out in the direction of the sound. It was a beverage shop with both Xia Country Language and Peninsula Country language on its sign, featuring a striking Xue Wang doll.

“My sweet honey, Xue Wang, you’ve even opened a store in The Peninsula Country?!”

Lee Se-hyun exclaimed. He happened to be a bit thirsty, so he decided to get a classic lemonade to taste the flavor of his hometown, which could also be considered contributing to Xue Wang's international GDP.

“Hey, boss, one lemonade.” Lee Se-hyun said in his unique Xia Country Language, eating a sausage.

The boss was startled, not expecting a Xia Country Person customer, but he wasn't surprised. Usually, their customers were Xia Country People from The Peninsula.

Xue Wang's reputation in Xia Country was no joke!

“Alright! One lemonade.” The boss personally made it.

Lee Se-hyun, bored, chatted with the boss: “Boss, you’re employing child labor here!”

There were three people in the shop: the boss, a middle-aged woman, and finally a little kid, a family of three.

The boss quickly waved his hand: “Brother, when you’re out, you can’t stab a fellow countryman in the back!”

“This is my own child.”

“Hutou, take a break. We’ll go home soon, and you can do your homework.” The boss said to a little tyke.

Lee Se-hyun chuckled: “Look at what you’re saying. Am I going to report you or something?”

“Hard to say!” The boss shook his head. Nowadays, when you’re out and about, people’s hearts are unpredictable, especially those you know well.

The saying, “When fellow countrymen meet, they stab each other in the back,” isn’t just for show.

“Here, your lemonade.”

Lee Se-hyun took the lemonade and didn't plan to linger. Suddenly, thunder rumbled in the sky: “Boom!~”

Dark clouds gathered, like a sleeping beast awakening.

Within a few seconds, it started raining, pouring down.

Lee Se-hyun complained, a bit troubled: “What kind of terrible weather is this?!”

His car was still by the roadside, a bit of a distance away. If he ran, he’d probably get drenched.

“axi! sibal! Damn it!” When in Rome, do as the Romans do, Xia Country-style sibal.

Let it rain, he was going to take a shower when he got back anyway. He reeked of alcohol, so the rain would be a good wash.

Just as Lee Se-hyun was about to channel Usain Bolt and take off, the boss called out to him.

“Do you want an umbrella?”

Lee Se-hyun looked at the offered umbrella in surprise and said, “Didn’t you say fellow countrymen meeting fellow countrymen…”

It was a cute Ultraman umbrella, probably the boss’s son’s.

“That’s them!”

“As for me, old man, when you’re out, everyone has it tough. If you can help, help.”

“My ancestor said it well: ‘Do not commit evil, however small; do not neglect good, however small.’”

Lee Se-hyun took the umbrella and chuckled: “Boss, is your ancestor’s surname Liu? A descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan in Xia Country, Imperial Uncle Liu Bei.”

“How do you know?” The boss asked in surprise.

“To be honest, I’m a fortune teller.” Lee Se-hyun blurted out.

The boss also laughed: “Brother, don’t talk nonsense and fool this old man. Take the umbrella and go quickly, I’m closing up.”

Lee Se-hyun also laughed. It was quite interesting to meet a descendant of Liu Bei while abroad. The former emperor’s enterprise was not yet half-finished, and his descendants were selling Xue Wang on The Peninsula.

“Ah! axi!”

Suddenly, a girl ran over and stood under the shop awning to take shelter from the rain.

Lee Se-hyun looked curiously. The girl in front of him was completely drenched. Her dark, long hair was elegantly scattered over her swan-like neck, and drops of water fell from her beautiful face.

Kim Ji-soo kept complaining: “axi! What kind of terrible weather is this?! Are the meteorologists just slacking off?!”
