SFfC [Eunlice Adaptation]

Chapter 29

Chapter 29

Eunwoo had to work late on Christmas day, so he wasn't able to spend time with Lisa. Lisa didn't have the habit of celebrating Christmas either, so she didn't mind. For her, the only noteworthy thing happening on Christmas was that orders in her store skyrocketed, and her workload grew excessively.

Lisa helping Eunwoo move, coupled with the sudden influx of Christmas orders, made Lisa quite tired. Since Eunwoo was busy with work, she usually goes home early and sleeps early.

In contrast to this, QingNan lane, the most famous bar street in the city, was lively. It was a place for all-night revelries in regular days, let alone Christmas. Tonight, many people were coming and going. Hanbin spent some time helping out in his store, but eventually, he told Bobby to watch his bar and left.

After leaving his bar, Hanbin took a turn and went to Zico's pub. Zico was a pivotal figure in QingNan lane, so Hanbin wanted to ask him about Taeyong's affairs.

Zico already expected this, so he specially sent his people to wait for Hanbin outside his pub. After they saw Hanbin approach, Zico's men took him directly into a room like some sort of courier package. Zico's men didn't follow Hanbin in the room but instead stood outside the door as a guard. The only other person in the private room was Zico, who was sitting in the middle of a huge sofa.

When Hanbin first laid eyes on Zico, he felt that the man wasn't an ordinary pub owner. This was because Zico dressed and looked like a typical librarian.

The man looked too cultured and graceful to own a pub.

However, after experiencing years of owning a bar himself, Hanbin understood that you can't judge a book by its cover. In fact, wasn't Eunwoo the same? Who would've thought that he was a talented student who graduated from the University of Technology? As an aircraft designer no less.

"Brother Zico." Hanbin took the initiative to say hello to the man sitting across from him. Zico nodded his head in reply, then said in a very gentle voice "I heard from Irene that you were hurt by Taeyong's people. How's your injury?"

Hanbin smiled and said "It's alright, thanks to Sister Irene's help."

Zico smiled back, but soon got straight to the point. "is your visit today related to Taeyong's affairs?"

Hanbin didn't avoid the topic and replied "QingNan street has rules and while this isn't the first time Taeyong has broken them, he's becoming more and more rampant these days. It's gotten to the point that even my customers are getting affected."

Scam girls, nightclubs...these were somewhat sensitive topics. These were words the average person usually shied away from in daylight. However, recently, Taeyong was trying to court disaster by employing these dirty tactics. Hanbin wanted to stop Taeyong now, lest he implicates the entire QingNan lane.

Zico poured Hanbin a glass of wine, then took a sip from his own glass. "Irene also mentioned this to me. Ordinarily, anyone doing business in QingNan lane tends to mind their own business, but like you said, we all comply with the rules. We certainly disagree with Taeyong's bad etiquette. It seems that Taeyong is getting too carried away after experiencing so much sweetness recently. I'll have to come forward and remind him."

This was why Hanbin came to visit him today. Last time he confronted Taeyong himself but suffered a loss. He could no longer act so hasty. 

Truthfully, he wasn't scared of Taeyong. After all, he had been wandering through the underbelly of this city for many years now. The knife wound inflicted on him was nothing. He was more afraid that, like Jay Park, Lee Taeyong would go make trouble with Lisa.
