81: Chapter 81 His Return

On the banks of the Han River, Bae Joohyun, who was out for a walk with Kang Seulgi, watched this scene with eyes full of envy.

"unnie! I just checked; those two characters mean 'Jin-ri'."

"Jin-ri! Jin-ri!"

"Today is Senior Choi Sulli's birthday. Could they be for her?"

The two exchanged a look and were instantly certain, the figure of that bodyguard who stood up to Kim Young-min flashing through their minds.

Jiang Hongshao leaned against the railing, her wine-red curly hair tousled by the wind. She looked at the message sent by Dao and frowned slightly.

In a car driving from the airport, Dao was driving. Looking at Liu Zijun in the passenger seat, he couldn't help but ask, "BOSS! Should we go get that treated first?"

Liu Zijun was shirtless, changing his shirt; the previous one was already soaked in blood.

He had just fought his way out of a secret stronghold in Ukraine and headed straight for Seoul.

The enemies this time were indeed numerous and strong; he had taken a bullet to the right side of his chest!

"It's nothing! What does a small injury like this matter?"

Despite his words, his face remained somewhat pale.

After changing, the two briefly discussed the mission.

Suddenly, they saw the fireworks by the Han River.

"This Jeong Hyun-bin from SD Group is quite attentive in his work!"

The car slowed down until it came to a stop, and the two of them sat inside, watching the brilliant fireworks.

Like them, many others were watching the fireworks, speculating about who this "Jin-ri" actually was.

"BOSS! Although I can't quite understand you semi-leaving the organization like this, I'm truly happy for you seeing that you've found love!"

Hearing this, Liu Zijun patted his shoulder.

"Let's go! Next time I'll get you an Apink autograph and give it to you when we return to China!"

Dao's face instantly turned red.

"Boss!"

Liu Zijun burst out laughing.

He knew that when the Dao-Jian Gemini called him "Boss," it was when they were feeling sentimental.

It didn't happen once in years; he'd only hear it when they were drunk.

When the car arrived at the apartment's underground parking lot, Jiang Hongshao and Jeong Hyun-bin were already waiting there.

Jiang Hongshao didn't speak, her gaze fixed intently on the car door.

The door opened, and Liu Zijun stepped out, his thin black overcoat wrapped tightly around him, yet his movements were still visibly stiff.

His right hand instinctively shielded his chest, and his steps were slightly unsteady, but his expression was extremely calm.

"Shadow! Long time no see!"

Jiang Hongshao stepped forward and hugged him, her eyes filled with worry.

Jian also nodded; this kid was even more taciturn than Dao!

Jeong Hyun-bin also hurriedly called out, "BOSS! Everything with the media has been arranged. There won't be any negative public opinion about the Sister-in-law tomorrow, don't worry!"

Liu Zijun nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work! It's just that I'm no longer the leader of the God Hunter Organization; you won't regret this, will you?"

Jeong Hyun-bin quickly replied, "How could I? I'll be loyal to the God of Hunting until death!"

Jiang Hongshao couldn't help but curse, "Sycophant!"

"BOSS, let me help you." Jiang Hongshao stepped forward quickly, but Liu Zijun waved her off.

He stepped forward and kissed Shadow, whispering, "No need."

Dao, Jian, and the others immediately turned their heads, pretending they hadn't seen anything.

Jeong Hyun-bin quickly followed suit!

Liu Zijun raised his hand to adjust his coat collar, the black shirt hiding the bandages more securely.

"Can't tell anymore, right? Don't let them notice; I don't want them to worry."

Jiang Hongshao quickly adjusted it for him again and said, "Go on, go see your little vixens. All three of them are there!"

Liu Zijun nodded and stepped into the elevator!

Jeong Hyun-bin suddenly said, "Big bosses, why don't you give me some face and let's go out for a drink! My people are already on guard here, and besides, with the BOSS around, nothing will happen!"

The gemini twins were still hesitating, but Jiang Hongshao suddenly threw an arm around each of them.

She grumbled, "Let's go, let's go! Seeing him so devoted to those little vixens just annoys me! Forget the mission. Didn't he tell you to listen to me while on The Peninsula? I'm calling the shots!"

Standing at the apartment door, Liu Zijun actually felt a bit nervous!

He gently entered the code on the keypad.

The door opened!

The laughter inside the apartment continued; everyone was eating cake, singing, and dancing like a bunch of lunatics.

Choi Sulli glanced down at her phone. The screen was on her chat interface with Liu Zijun; there hadn't been a reply for a very long time.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, she looked up sharply, her heart feeling as if it were being squeezed.

The moment the door opened, everyone fell silent.

Liu Zijun stood at the door, his black coat still sharp, his hair slightly tousled by the wind. He opened his arms toward Choi Sulli and smiled tenderly, "Sorry, Jin-ri, Oppa is late."

"Oppa!"

A flash of shock crossed Choi Sulli's eyes, and she practically lunged at him, her arms tightly wrapping around his waist.

Liu Zijun let out a muffled groan, but his expression didn't change!

Im Yoona and Son Ye-jin were equally surprised and delighted, their eyes brimming with tears!

Both took a couple of steps forward but forced themselves to stop!

Tonight, he belonged to Choi Sulli.

Liu Zijun glanced at Im Yoona, and she could no longer hold back!

She threw herself directly at him!

Son Ye-jin watched the scene with a smile.

She wasn't jealous, nor would she blame him!

Liu Zijun gently patted the two girls in his arms, taking half a minute to finally soothe them.

He gently released the two girls, then walked over to Son Ye-jin, pulling her into a tight embrace and whispering in her ear, "Yejin! Long time no see. I've put you through so much!"

The others watched this scene intently; it was so unbelievable, yet so heartwarming.

Krystal Jung clenched her fists, her lips pressed tightly together.

Jessica Jung noticed her sister's reaction, and her heart skipped a beat!

No way, has her little sister also fallen for that scumbag?

She quickly stepped forward to grab Krystal Jung, glaring at her fiercely!

Her stare made Krystal Jung lower her head immediately!

Just as she was about to lose her temper, Victoria Song stepped forward and patted Krystal Jung's shoulder!

"Pah! scumbag!"

In this setting, only Victoria Song dared to curse like that. She brandished the cake knife in her hand, as if she wanted to stab it right into Liu Zijun!

The faces of the three girls—Choi Sulli, Im Yoona, and Son Ye-jin—instantly flushed, with the eldest, Son Ye-jin, turning the deepest red.

She quickly slipped out of Liu Zijun's embrace and said, "Liu Zijun! It's good that you're back! I'm leaving now! I have a schedule tomorrow and need to head over tonight!"

After saying that, she turned to leave, then blushed as she leaned back to give him a quick kiss on the cheek before fleeing to put on her shoes!

Meanwhile, Lee Ji-eun, Goo Hara, and Bae Suzy, whose mouths had been hanging open, kept glancing around.

Looking at one, then the other!

"Wow! Daebak! Oh my god!"

"Elder Brother Liu Zijun, you wouldn't kill us to keep us quiet, right?"

Lee Ji-eun asked with a dazed, cute expression.

Son Ye-jin almost tripped, and many people burst out laughing.

Goo Hara and Bae Suzy were still in a state of confusion, with many questions to ask but no idea how to ask them.

Those were Son Ye-jin, Im Yoona, and Choi Sulli!
