When Su Ming-Yu heard this, his blood immediately surged.
Without hesitation, he suddenly rushed towards Han Nari.
After all, seafood is best enjoyed while it's hot.

The next morning...
Su Ming-Yu slowly woke up to the shrill sound of his phone ringing.
Ring, ring, ring...📞
He groggily picked up the phone.
Gi-Sang's worried voice came through the line.
"Mr. Su, something has happened."
Su Ming-Yu frowned, his expression becoming solemn.
"What happened?" he asked firmly.
"There was a conflict... We accidentally got into a fight and ended up... well, someone was beaten to death," Gi-Sang said hesitantly.
Upon hearing this, Su Ming-Yu's face darkened and his frown deepened.
"How could you be so careless? Can't you handle this yourself?" Su Ming-Yu scolded angrily.
"I'm afraid this is serious. The victim worked for the Space Group, and their people are already here preparing to intervene," Gi-Sang explained.
Su Ming-Yu's expression became even more serious. This situation felt wrong, almost as if someone was deliberately setting him up.
After a moment of thought, Su Ming-Yu nodded slightly.
"Don't say anything. Stay calm. I'm coming over now," he ordered sternly.
"Understood, Mr. Su. Please hurry," Gi-Sang replied.
Su Ming-Yu hung up the phone.
Han Nari, still curled up lazily like a kitten in his arms, raised her head and stared at him with her beautiful, half-asleep eyes.
"What's wrong? What happened?" she asked, slightly confused.
"There's trouble at the construction site. I feel like someone's out to get me," Su Ming-Yu replied in a solemn tone.
Hearing this, Han Nari gently kissed his cheek and smiled.
"Don't worry. I know you'll be fine. I believe in you," she said quietly.
Su Ming-Yu cupped her face in his hands and ran his fingers through her silky hair.
"Thank you. I believe in myself as well. If the Wooju Group really wants to cause trouble, I'll make sure they regret it," Su Ming-Yu said through clenched teeth, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.

At the construction site...
Cha Joo-wan sharp gaze was fixed on Qi Xiang.
Next to him were two prosecutors who relentlessly questioned Gi-Sang.
Following Su Ming-Yu's instructions, Gi-Sang remained silent and refused to answer any questions.
The procurators were visibly frustrated, but hesitated to act rashly.
After all, Gi-Sang was the third-in-command of the Fire Bear Gang, and they couldn't afford to offend him directly.
Cha Joo-wan watched the scene with a faint smile, then slowly approached Gi-Sang.
"I'm curious... Who is the mastermind behind this? Who has the power to command the chief of the Fire Bear Gang?" he asked.
Gi-Sang coldly glared at Cha Joo-wan.
"It doesn't matter who is behind me. What matters is that you can't afford to cross him. Is the Wooju Group that impressive?" Gi-Sang replied, exuding an intimidating aura.
Cha Joo-wan hesitated slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes. Then he smiled meaningfully.
"The leader of the Wooju Group may not be much, but the company itself is a giant - one you cannot afford to insult," Cha Joo-wan said smugly.
"Is that so? Funny, I don't think I can afford to offend them," a calm yet mocking voice called out from behind Cha Joo-wan.
Su Ming-Yu approached with a slight smile on his face.
The moment Su Ming-Yu saw Cha Joo-wan, he recognized him. This man had once been a nobody. But through sheer ruthlessness, he'd clawed his way to the top.
Su Ming-Yu gave Cha Joo-wan a dismissive look.
"Remember, you're nothing but a dog for the Wooju Group. If they support you, you will prosper. If they abandon you, you're nothing," Su Ming-Yu sneered.
Cha Joo-wan face turned cold as he stared at Su Ming-Yu.
"Impressive words. But let's not forget who you are - just a swindler who tricks people into using their deposits as down payments, only to sell the properties after prices skyrocket," Cha Joo-wan said loudly, deliberately stirring up the crowd.
The surrounding tenants clenched their fists and glared at Su Ming-Yu with anger.
If this were in China, Su Ming-Yu might have negotiated a relocation agreement to appease his fellow countrymen.
But here in korea, where arrogance reigned supreme, Su Ming-Yu felt no obligation to show leniency.
The prosecutors, emboldened by Su Ming-Yu's arrival, addressed him directly.
"Sir, you are suspected of using illegal means to force tenants to move. We hereby summon you for questioning," one of them announced.
Su Ming-Yu's smile deepened.
Calmly, he took out his cell phone and made a call.
"Mr. Cha, your timing seems a little slow," he said before hanging up.
The prosecutors, annoyed by Su Ming-Yu's arrogance, glared at him.
"Sir, come with us now or we won't hesitate to use force," one warned.
As they moved to arrest him, Su Ming-Yu stood calmly in place.
Before they could touch him, however, the shrill ringing of a phone interrupted them.
Ring, ring, ring... 📞
Both prosecutors paused, exchanged suspicious glances, and then answered the call.
