Peninsula: My cheat code is unscientific

Chapter 25 That Moment of Charm
Baekhyun rushed over quickly, his face flushed, completely ignoring Yoona and his manager beside him, his eyes seemingly only on Taeyeon.

"Taeyeon noona!" His voice trembled slightly. "I really like you! Please give me a chance? I know you feel the same way about me!"

"Those rumors, those interactions..." he said, his emotions running high, and he actually reached out and grabbed Taeyeon's arm!

Taeyeon's face instantly darkened. She took a large step back, creating distance. No longer the cute Taeyeon, the powerful aura of the Girls' Generation leader and queen instantly erupted from her, her voice as cold as ice:
"Byun Baekhyun-ssi! I've said it so many times, we're just colleagues! Stop bothering me! Please get lost! Stop bothering me, okay!"

Jiang Che was overjoyed:

Wow! I'm saved again. It seems fate is on my side. But it seems like this couple from the previous life... did they break up? Judging from this... there's more to the story? And this wasn't their first entanglement?
This guy was bewitched by that enchantress too? Pshaw, what do you mean "also"? But Taeyeon has this side to her too! That's right, the leader isn't simple, tsk, Empress is mighty!
Seeing Taeyeon reprimand him mercilessly once again, Byun Baekhyun finally lost his composure due to shame and embarrassment. Instead of backing down, he seemed to be provoked and took another step forward recklessly, reaching out his hand again: "Noona! Don't do this! I really..."

Seeing that this was about to get physical again, Jiang Che immediately prepared to step forward and block it with his manager.

The manager even said, "Byun Baekhyun-ssi! Calm down! Otherwise I'll report this to the company!"

"Shut up! You're just an employee! You have no right to speak here! You reported it before, didn't you? Did it do any good? This was originally a company requirement!" Byun Baekhyun yelled at his manager, then roughly waved his hand, shoving his manager sister who was trying to pull him away, causing her to stumble.

At the same time, he impatiently pushed Yoona, who was blocking Taeyeon's way, with his other hand: "You move aside too! This is between me and Taeyeon noona! It has nothing to do with you!"

Jiang Che saw that this hand was about to touch Yoona's body:

"With my fiery temper, how can a man touch Yoona's body like that! And then there's my manager who was shoved and called a 'jobman' after I hit her in the face with my skill. I just got really angry."

He turned around and immediately pushed Taeyeon aside. Just as Baekhyun's hand was about to touch him, Kang Cheol seized his wrist, his body suddenly sinking, his core muscles instantly tensing and engaging in combat.

Using the opponent's force, a clean and swift over-the-shoulder throw!

boom--! ! !
A loud bang echoed through the empty parking lot!

Byun Baekhyun felt dizzy and his body was lifted into the air completely out of his control, tracing an arc before his back and the back of his head made intimate contact with the concrete ground!

The immense impact caused his vision to go black for a moment, and he felt as if he saw his great-grandmother smiling at him.

Then came the painful groans of "Ugh...ho..." For a while, let alone getting up, all he could do was try his best not to be taken away by his great-grandmother.

The whole world went silent.

Taeyeon covered her mouth in disbelief. In the blink of an eye, Baekhyun was lying on the ground, her brain completely blank.
…Yoona…she…she's possessed by something evil, isn't she??
The agent was completely stunned: Thank goodness I didn't keep bothering her in the car!

Jiang Che flicked his wrist and clapped his hands, then looked at Byun Baekhyun groaning on the ground and kicked his leg in disgust.
"Tsk, if you come bothering me again next time, I'll turn you into Byun Baekhyun."

After saying that, he grabbed the arms of Taeyeon and her manager, who were still in a daze: "What are you standing there for? Get in the car! Let's go!" The manager only came back to her senses when he pulled her, looked at the ground, then at Kang Cheol, and stammered: "Huh? Just... just leave like that? We'll leave him...?"

Jiang Che had already opened the van door, shoved the still somewhat dazed Taeyeon inside, and then nimbly climbed in himself. He glanced at the ground upon hearing this.
His tone was matter-of-fact: "Why bother with him? He's a grown man, he's not going to die. Let's drive! We shouldn't linger in trouble! It'll be a problem if we get photographed!"

His agent was taken aback by his self-righteous attitude, and instinctively got into the driver's seat and started the car. The black van sped away.

The car merged into traffic, and an eerie silence fell over the interior. The manager glanced at Yoona several times, but didn't ask anything; perhaps that was just the code of conduct for a manager. Kang Cheol couldn't wait to get home quietly, while Taeyeon was still in a daze.

After Taeyeon came to her senses, she suddenly turned her head and stared at Yoona next to her with an extremely complicated look in her eyes.

Jiang Che felt the burning gaze and sighed silently in his heart:

Yoona, this time... it seems you've really gone too far. Well-behaved? Shy? That thing is lying on the concrete in the parking lot, next to Byun Baekhyun.

After a while, Jiang Che had already come up with an excuse to fool Taeyeon. He secretly glanced at Taeyeon, but Taeyeon just stared at him and didn't ask anything: If this girl doesn't ask, I can't take the initiative to say anything!

Jiang Che felt extremely uncomfortable under their gaze, as if there were nails under his butt: No! I have to break this silence! I need to change the subject.

Jiang Che cleared his throat:
"Um... Unnie, what's the deal with Byun Baekhyun earlier... between you and him?" He tried to make his doe eyes sparkle with curiosity, as if he really was just gossiping.

Taeyeon's eyes finally shifted, no longer scrutinizing, but instead holding a more complex, eerie light. She leaned close to Kang Cheol's ear and whispered:
"Yoona, didn't you... know everything?" She paused, a slight smile playing on her lips, her voice light and airy: "Didn't you... advise me before?"

Boom——!
Jiang Che felt as if a silent thunderbolt had exploded in his mind: It's over! He's completely finished!
This feels like playing the card game "Three Kingdoms Kill," where a rebel tries his best to pretend to be a loyal subject, only to have the lord say something under his breath:
"I've already seen your ID badge."

Jiang Che forced an awkward smile:

"Hehe, unnie, I was just trying to ease the awkward atmosphere."

After speaking, she stiffly turned to look out the window, completely falling silent.
Even my breathing became soft, my body stiffened against the back of the chair, and only one thought remained:
Yoona, you're doomed!!
For the rest of the journey, the carriage fell into an even more complete silence than before. Jiang Che remained completely silent, afraid of saying anything that might cause trouble. Taeyeon continued to glance at Yoona from time to time, lost in thought. The manager, too, dared not even breathe loudly in the atmosphere.

The car finally stopped in front of Yoona's apartment building. Jiang Che practically launched himself out of the car, yanking open the door as fast as if a ghost were chasing him.

"Goodbye, unnie! Thank you for your hard work, manager! Be careful on your way!" She spoke so fast it was like she was on double speed, and then she was about to run away.

The moment one foot stepped out of the car, Taeyeon's emotionless voice came from behind:

"Yoona, won't you invite unnie up for a seat?"
