"The phone call was from Choi Joo-hyun seeking help!

"What's going on? Where are you?" Alejandro's eyes narrowed. Choi Joo-hyun was his woman, and someone dared to harm her?!

"I'm in my rented house. There's someone banging on the door outside. I don't know who he is, but he's definitely not a good person!" Choi Joo-hyun's voice, with a hint of tears, came from the other end. Faintly, the muffled sound of impacts could be heard.

"Don't worry, he shouldn't be able to get in for the time being. I'll be there soon!" Alejandro quickly hung up the phone.

Upon hearing the content of the call, Kim Soo-yeon promptly went out to prepare a car and bodyguards for him.

"My lord, I'll go with you!" Lee Ji-hoon also volunteered.

"Alright." Alejandro glanced at him, not refusing. Even though there was a risk in going out after causing such a stir during the day, Alejandro's safety was more important than his own.

"Master, we'll also go!" The Kim sisters hurried over.

"Ji-ah and I will go, Soo-yeon stays behind to watch over the house, ready to support at any time!" Alejandro spoke.

"Mhm!" Kim Soo-yeon immediately nodded vigorously.

Soon, several cars quickly left the villa. Besides Alejandro and his three companions, the others were all bodyguards. There were even two with bulging holsters, indicating they were licensed to carry firearms!

Heading towards Choi Joo-hyun's address.

Not long after they arrived at Choi Joo-hyun's house, several police cars were already parked outside! Sirens flashing.

"Who are you people?" Two police officers immediately approached as the cars stopped.

"The police are handling a case. Irrelevant parties, please leave immediately!" A police officer responded as soon as the words fell.

The car doors simultaneously opened, and a group of burly bodyguards in suits got out of the cars! Intimidating and fierce!

The two police officers swallowed hard, their momentum immediately diminishing. Seeing this lineup, it was definitely someone important. They couldn't afford to offend!

"Sorry, officers. My friend lives here. How is she doing now?" At this moment, a remarkably handsome young man, escorted by others, walked over.

His attitude was gentle.

The two police officers breathed a sigh of relief, feeling favorable towards Alejandro. "Nothing serious, just a bit frightened. She's not responding no matter how we call her."

"A big thank you to the officers!" Alejandro sighed in relief and turned to his companions, "Ji-ah, the officers are working late to handle the case. Have someone buy some late-night snacks and drinks and deliver them immediately!"

"Yes!" Kim Ji-ah immediately nodded.

With that, Alejandro stepped towards the door, and the two police officers exchanged glances and made way.

Usually, when those big shots saw them, they either became impatient or cursed them, accusing them of not doing their jobs properly! They didn't even see them as human!

Encountering someone who treated them like human beings for once, should they still block them? Police officers were also human beings, capable of emotions like joy, anger, grief, and happiness, right?

Before reaching the door, Alejandro heard a somewhat familiar female voice:

"Miss Choi, please open the door. We're the police, here to protect you!"

"It's safe outside!" A female officer was standing at the door, her face filled with helplessness. She was none other than the police consultant seen at the wedding scene during the day, Kang Mi-jin!

However, no matter how she called, there was no response from inside.

"Let me handle this!" Alejandro stepped forward, standing outside the door, and said, "It's me, open the door!"

Who are you? Who do you think you are? Kang Mi-jin was taken aback for a moment, pushed aside by the suit-clad bodyguards! Somewhat confused!

Where were the police outside? Why didn't they stop him?

Also, after calling for so long without any response, he didn't think he was more trustworthy than the police, did he?!

Kang Mi-jin's eyebrows furrowed, and she was about to explode!

Snap! The door suddenly opened, and a graceful figure in pajamas threw herself into Alejandro's arms!

"Alejandro, you've finally come!" Choi Joo-hyun hugged him tightly, as if she had seen her savior, wishing she could cling to him entirely!

Goodness gracious! Kang Mi-jin almost choked! What's going on?!

Huh?! A group of police officers had been banging on the door for ages with no response, and now it opened immediately with just one word from him! Were we police officers not trustworthy enough?!!

Wait, why does this guy look somewhat familiar?

Kang Mi-jin suddenly raised her eyebrows, but saw Alejandro hugging Choi Joo-hyun and walking into the room. She was about to follow.

Snap! The door was closed again!

The group of bodyguards and police officers outside stared at each other in disbelief! This was outrageous! He goes in to comfort the pretty girl, and we're left outside to guard the door, is that it?!!

What about trust between people? We're police officers, aren't we?!

Am I, as a pretty police consultant, not more reassuring than this stinky man?

Though, Alejandro was indeed very handsome! But we can't just let a bunch of police officers stand outside to guard your door, can we?!

Kang Mi-jin was so angry her lungs were about to explode! She thought her colleagues would be as indignant as she was. But when she turned her head, they were all smiling, happily accepting the food and drinks handed to them, completely enjoying themselves. It was like a harmonious gathering between the police and the public!

Her face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. Am I the clown here?!!

...

"What exactly happened?" Alejandro sat on the sofa, asking.

Choi Joo-hyun clung tightly to his body, as if she wanted to merge into him completely! Most importantly, since it was night, she was only wearing pajamas, leaving her completely exposed underneath. This allowed Alejandro to keenly feel how stunning her figure was, contrary to her usual demure and gentle demeanor.

"I, I don't know!" Even the strongest woman would have moments of vulnerability, especially in situations like this. Choi Joo-hyun still trembled slightly, recalling the terrifying experience.

"When I came home, someone suddenly rushed at me from behind. Luckily, I reacted quickly and immediately closed the door!"

"But that person didn't leave; instead, they kept banging on the door from outside!"

"Eventually, I heard police sirens, and then he fled!"

"It was terrifying! If I had been a bit slower, a bit less alert, and he had gotten inside..." She bit her lip, unable to bear thinking about the possible outcome.

"It's okay, I'm here." Alejandro patted her back, soothing her gently. It sounded like a spontaneous incident.

The assailant didn't seem to be prepared in advance; otherwise, he wouldn't have failed to open the door and resorted to angrily banging on it. But precisely because of this, it felt even more terrifying.

Because such spontaneous incidents often lacked motive and familiarity. If the culprit wasn't caught on the spot, it would be difficult to track them down later.

What's more frightening was that the person was likely still lurking in the shadows, preparing for the next crime!

"I suspect that person might be the one they call the 'female butcher' in the news!" With Alejandro's arrival, Choi Joo-hyun gradually regained her composure.

It was as if she finally had a backbone, feeling a strong sense of security. Before this, even with the presence of police outside, she hadn't felt safe.

"The female butcher?" Alejandro's eyes narrowed slightly. He had heard of this name, a particularly vicious serial killer in Seoul recently, who took pleasure in mutilating single women. The methods were extremely brutal, but the police had yet to catch the perpetrator.

"Tomorrow, just move in with me!" He made a decisive decision.

It was too dangerous for a woman to live alone!

This time, luck was on their side, but next time, they might not be so fortunate!

"Mm." Choi Joo-hyun nodded obediently, burying her head in Alejandro's chest, tracing circles with her fingers.

"For the sake of entering the entertainment industry, I've prepared many talents. Would you like to enjoy them?" Sitting on Alejandro's lap, she felt the urge of a mischievous naughty person, her cheeks gradually turning a shade of crimson as she spoke softly.

After experiencing a shock or intense emotions, people often seek a way to release immediately. And she was in such a state right now!

Being unusually bold, she dared to do things she wouldn't normally do, all in one go!

"Talent?" Alejandro's eyes lit up. "Sure, I love appreciating art!"

"Then wait for me!" Giving him a coquettish look, Choi Joo-hyun turned and walked into the bedroom.

Snap! In less than a minute, the door opened. Choi Joo-hyun emerged wearing a typical cool outfit worn by South Korean girl groups.

To enter the South Korean entertainment industry, singing and dancing were indispensable!

There were even specialized talent agencies for training!

Under the Kim family's umbrella, there were many such trainees. Without at least two and a half years of training, they wouldn't even get on stage!

As an artist, the most important thing was versatility and charisma!

To showcase this, Choi Joo-hyun began an intense dance routine!

With only Alejandro as the audience!

After her performance, she took off her glasses, panting heavily. In just an instant, she transformed from an elegant goddess into a top-notch beauty.

Alejandro couldn't help but applaud her acting skills!

Truly deserving of someone aiming to enter the entertainment industry, her role transition, mastery of charisma, and change in gaze all highlighted one thing:

Professionalism!

That's what professionalism looks like!!!

However, Alejandro was always a strict teacher. "Again, your acting still lacks something!"

Thus, Choi Joo-hyun continued her performance, portraying different character identities!

Vividly demonstrating what it means to have professional ethics as an actor!

Alejandro also critically analyzed and criticized various art forms!

Although it was exhausting,

It was all for the sake of art, for cultivating a new idol star in the entertainment industry!

No one should stand in the way!!!!"
