God-sent Investment Genius Episode 48

Episode 48 – The provocative girl (4)

The only person on this earth, the man who carried the karma of the gods.

Moo-gyeong said that if it was that man, he might be able to get rid of his flesh.

No, he said that only that man would be able to know the true nature of the malice that killed him.

The story that most of those who throw flesh are those who have lost their reason due to hatred and anger towards the other person, and the only person who can find the source of that hatred and anger is the Manshin.

For Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong, regardless of whether or not this absurd story was true, it was interesting to know that there was another fortune teller that the gray-haired old man looked up to so much.

Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong said.

“Could I possibly meet that Mansin?”

“Heh heh, I’ve only met him once in Gangwon-do. Most of the people who have the same divine spirit as Mansin have a windy side. If the fates come together, we can meet…”

– Serureung.

The moment Moo-gyeong teacher poured out words of praise for the mansin, the hinged door behind Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong opened and Ji-hyeok entered.

Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong, who checked Moo-gyeong’s face, which had hardened in an instant, checked Ji-hyeok and greeted him right away.

“Ah… Kang Ji-hyeok. Welcome. This is Mr. Moo-kyung… Uh, the elders?”

The moment Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong was about to introduce Ji-hyeok to Moo-gyeong, astonishment erupted from Moo-gyeong’s mouth.

“That…you are…”

Moo-kyung, who was prostrated on the floor, lowered his head towards Ji-hyeok.

“I see you… I see you.”

In a sudden situation, Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong looked at Ji-hyeok and Moo-gyeong alternately and said,

“Old man, why are you suddenly like this?”

In this situation that no one can see, Jihyeok slowly opened his mouth as if it was not a big deal at all.

“Did you do anything mean again?”

Mukyungsensei replied.

“Ah… no. I just wanted to help because I had a relationship with Vice President Lee’s father.”

“Hmm… I’m glad if that’s the case. What happened to that rat-like guy’s gossip?”

“Eh… I brushed it off completely. Now that I’m a normal person, you don’t have to worry about it. Mansin.”

Jihyuk took a deep breath and said.

“It’s normal… it’s an enviable thing. Anyway, wake up. You said you had a relationship with Vice President Lee Jae-sung’s father, so I understand the story roughly. It’s Mr. Moo-kyung…, you had a pretty grand name.”

Lee Jae-seong, who looked at Moo-gyeong as he stood up from the floor again with his head lowered, asked Ji-hyeok with a startled face.

“Could it be that Mr. Kang Ji-hyeok was the Mansin?”

“Yes, that’s right. This is the mansin of this land, the very mansin.”

It was Moo-kyung who answered Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong’s question.

Jihyuk said with an expressionless face.

“What can a mansin do so much? I’m just carrying the desires of various spirits.”

Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong said with a rare surprised expression.

“I learned a lot of things today. Kang Ji-hyeok was such a great person. So, you must have been sincere when you said that you would help my younger brother?”

Jihyuk smiled and said.

“It wasn’t just pure intentions. Since it’s a relationship where you can help and receive help, I just wanted to make you come to your senses.”

“Kang Ji-hyeok really has a knack for making the other person feel at ease. hahahaha, then I’d like to ask you a favor without hesitation. Come to think of it, there were more than one or two things that made Ji-hyun weird. Like the personality…”

Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong, who even smiled happily, said Ji-hyeok with a very serious expression.

“It’s not such a simple matter that you say it with a smile.”

“Ah…, I didn’t mean it that way…”

“Have you heard the saying that when a person suddenly changes, it is time to die?”

“Isn’t that like a proverb that grown-ups often use?”

“Yes. But in fact, this word was often used by shamans. In the process of endangering the person’s life by blowing flesh, inevitably, the subject who felt the crisis had a sudden change of mind and behavior. Shamans like that. They recognized the people who had been beaten and said, seeing how suddenly they had changed, it was time to die.”

Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong asked urgently.

“That, did you mean that? Then, is Ji-hyeon’s life in danger?”

“Fortunately, CEO Lee Ji-hyeon didn’t go that far. It was clumsy, but someone had set up something to ward off evil. But now I see that it was this person who set up that ward off evil.”

Feeling Jihyeok’s gaze, Moo-gyeong asked ashamedly.

“Did you know that?”

Jihyeok said as if bruised.

“It was an item that did not match the energy of this land. No matter how urgent it was, you should have found a proper ward off evil. Another thing, if you knew that it was flesh, wouldn’t you have been responsible for the comfort of the target by constantly checking it? I wouldn’t have treated you so harshly… but you didn’t pay for it.”

Teacher Moogyeong said.

“That, is that… you mean that my prescription was wrong? I set up a stone statue full of yang energy to control the yin flesh…”

“It would have been better if they had brought a Dol Hareubang from Jeju. An Egyptian phallus statue?

“·······.”

“Fortunately, it was still in a state of full malice from the person who blew the flesh, so it was oddly balanced with the phallic statue.”

This shamanism called folk religion or shamanism was not unique to Korea.

Among them, Egyptian ancient beliefs considered the harmony of yin and yang important, and Egyptian men had a custom of spraying semen into the Nile River through masturbation to make the Nile River spring up with yin energy, that is, water.

And the sculpture that embodies it is an Egyptian phallus statue, and it looks like an Egyptian man holding an erect penis.

It was an ugly object to display in the office of a female CEO.

The problem is that Egyptian phallus statues located on the African continent are so full of yang energy that they have a strong yang energy that turns everything into a desert.

Whether it’s a shaman or feng shui, people and things from this land are good.

Occasionally, while traveling abroad, they bring a statue made of wood or stone from that country, saying it is a specialty, and display it in the house, but it usually has a bad effect.

In a word, Shintobuyi (身土不二) means that ours is good.

At that moment when everyone was concentrating on Ji-hyeok’s explanation, the one who broke the silence was Lee Ji-hyun, who was standing quietly without knowing when he had arrived.

“So what you mean now is that statue saved me from going insane or dying from being hit with murder or something? Ha, I’m dumbfounded, really.”

“Huh? Jihyun, when did you come?”

Lee Ji-hyun asked with a very furious expression.

“Oppa, what are all these people doing? And why is that pervert Kang Ji-hyeok or something over there coming to my hotel again? Oppa, like your father and grandfather, fell for the tricks of shamans? Is it something like that?”

“Jihyun-ah, calm down and listen to your brother. This is Kang Ji-hyeok…”

“I’ve heard it all too. Someone said that he has ill will toward me? When oppa sees me, who will I hurt? Get that person out immediately, and oppa go too. I’m so disappointed in oppa.”

After Lee Ji-hyun’s gun-like words, Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong said with a serious expression.

“It was real. It was real. Jihyun-ah, why did you change like this?”

“Why did I change? Didn’t oppa just fall for the shaman’s tongue teasing?”

Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong suddenly said in a loud voice.

“Hey, Lee Ji-hyun! Look at your cheeks now. Does it make sense that the guy who used to wear only a polo shirt that goes up to his neck in winter is wearing that outfit now?”

Only then did Lee Ji-hyeon come to her senses and check her clothes, and her face turned slightly red.

“This, because there’s a party…”

“Yes, that party, you said it well. What kind of parties are you throwing every evening? You used to hate parties. They don’t wear that either, you know?”

In fact, Lee Ji-hyun’s outfit was bold enough to be said to be provocative.

When Lee Ji-hyun, who was intimidated by Vice Chairman Lee Jae-sung’s high voice, was just opening his mouth, Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong continued his words.

“If you understand, sit there quietly. Kang Ji-hyeok here, no, the Mansin is looking after you.”

“Oh, brother…”

“Sit down!”

Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong took a deep breath and spoke to Ji-hyeok.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Kang Ji-hyeok. Could you save our Ji-hyeon?”

Jihyuk smiled and said.

“Don’t worry. We’ve already figured out who killed Lee Ji-hyun.”

The first to express surprise was Moo-gyeong.

“Huh, as expected, the Mansin had a solution.”

“Stop talking about the mansin. Being a shaman is nothing to be ashamed of, but it’s not something to brag about as if it’s such a great thing. Do you understand?”

“…Ah, I see.”

“Then, excuse me for a moment.”

Ji-hyeok immediately called Woo Sang-jin and told him to bring a digital camera.

Woo Sang-jin must have been waiting nearby and brought his camera within a minute, and Ji-hyeok showed Lee Ji-hyun a picture of a woman with the image he had in mind.

“Would you like to know who it is?”

Lee Ji-hyun turned her head away as if she didn’t want to mix words with Ji-hyeok.

“Vice President, there must be someone at the hotel who looks like this. Can you call me over here?”

Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong looked at the photo and said.

“Is this a girl? What made our Jihyun like that?”

“Please call me over here.”

“All right.”

Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong handed the camera to the secretary’s office waiting outside the door and told him to bring the employee in the photo as soon as possible.

Jihyeok said.

“Vice President, CEO Lee.”

“Please speak.”

“·······.”

“As you might think, it is true that the female employee did the work. However, that female employee must have had her own circumstances. It is a prize that can cause anger without even knowing it. In that sense, I think CEO Lee Ji-hyun can be both a victim and a perpetrator.”

“That can’t be the case. Ji-hyeon is a guy who always uses honorifics even for the ladies who do housework…”

“That’s why it must have happened without your knowledge. No, even if you knew, you might have tried to ignore it. In other words, it’s like an unwritten intention.”

“You mean Jihyun knew something?”

“Well, only you know that. The vice-president could also be responsible. In fact, the biggest responsibility for this incident could be Chairman Lee, who is sick. It’s not clear yet, but I think so.”

“Me-me? It can’t be.”

“Are you sure? Can you say that you’ve never turned a blind eye to someone’s misfortune in favor of your own desires?”

Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong, his face flushed slightly, sighed and asked.

“Whoa, what do you want me to do?”

“If I hadn’t told you anyway, I would have lived without knowing. The vice president and I came into contact with each other, but I also don’t want that female employee to be harmed because of this. So, I just want to finish today by saving both lives. Would you agree?”

Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong, who seemed to be thinking about it for a moment, nodded slowly and said.

“I will follow Kang Ji-hyeok’s wishes.”

*

After a while, a female hotel employee who looked exactly like the woman in Jihyeok’s painting entered the room.

A skinny body with an inverted triangular face, eyes that looked upward as if the whites of the lower part were clearly visible.

There’s even a blunt nose.

It was a truly bizarre sight.

Jihyeok said in a low voice to the woman who was surprised to see Lee Jihyun’s face.

“You know why you’ve been called here. I’m curious about one thing. What makes you so pierced?”

“I, I am…”

“The demon that haunted you won’t even be around here. Tell me. Why did you do this?”

“Hehhhhh. Wrong, wrong…

– Less!

At that time, the phone fell from the woman’s hand, who lost all her strength.

What caught Jihyeok’s eyes was a small doll hanging from the ring of his phone.

Jihyeok called Woo Sangjin.

“Chief Woo, take the doll that’s on the phone over there and give it a ride. If there’s anything left after burning, just bring it.”

“Yes, Master.”

*

“Please stop removing the stone statue in the CEO’s office. I know you value it because it was a gift from your father, but it has now served its purpose.”

Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong immediately gave instructions to his secretary with a glance, and Ji-hyeok continued to speak.

“Now stop crying and have a chat. What’s your name?”

“Moon… I’m Moon Sang-mi.”

“Okay. Sang-mi Moon, Sang-mi Moon’s original face must have been pretty. Is that right?”

Sang-mi Moon, who had been sobbing for a long time, raised her head and expressed surprise.

“I see. The reason Sang-mi Moon’s appearance has changed to what she is now is because the criminal who did not wear shoes on her back has grown malicious intent by killing herself. Ha-gwan influences the person’s old age, and that’s why Moon Sang-mi’s face has become an inverted triangle to the point of being excessive.”

“Heuk… heuk heuk…”

“Having malicious intent, the aura of resentment soared to the sky, and the black masturbation turned toward the sky, and the bridge of the nose, which symbolizes middle-aged luck, did not hesitate because of the continued use of the sacred weapon, leaving only a large nose.”

Jihyeok asked Moon Sangmi with a sad expression.

His eyes were full of compassion.

“What was so sad about it? What made you wish for the misfortune of CEO Lee Ji-hyun to the point of ruining yourself?”

“Black…, I, I…”

At that time, Lee Ji-hyun, who had been quiet the whole time, opened her mouth with a shocked expression, as if something came to her mind.

“Muh, Sang-mi Moon. I remembered. Sang-mi Moon, you…, right? That person is your cousin…”

Moon Sang-mi suddenly shouted as if in a fit of fuss.

“No! I’m not your cousin!”
