Koo Ja-yoon took another sip of Sprite, but wasn't too worried. She said, "Don't worry, even if he misses the bullet train, he can drive there later. I trust him completely."
"You brat, really, only Brother Li Ling can tolerate you." Du Mingji still muttered a remark, but a smile instantly appeared on her face as she moved closer to Gu Ziyun and said:
"Look, I've been serving you so diligently, don't I look like I was born to be an agent?"
"Stop talking nonsense and eat your eggs." Gu Ziyun mumbled, his mouth stuffed full of eggs.
"Hey, um," Du Mingji persisted, "look, should we write up the contract and stuff in advance?"
Gu Ziyun chewed on an egg, staring at her with her big eyes without saying a word.
Do Myung-hee reached out and wiped the egg off Gu Zi-yun's mouth, saying, "Well, of course I believe you. I do believe you, but after all, the world is dangerous these days. How about we split the income in half?"
"Splitting it in half?" Do Myung-hee was about to say something more when Koo Ja-yoon interrupted her, "No matter what, this distribution ratio is too outrageous."
Do Myung-hee took the Sprite from Koo Ja-yoon, took a sip, and retorted, "Originally, it was always like this from the beginning. Even if you went to a place like Seoul and signed a 20-year contract, the ratio would still be the same."
"Pfft~"
A laugh came from the seat opposite. The voice came from the man holding a magazine, which obscured his face. He kept laughing, his whole body shaking, as if he had heard something very strange that made him laugh. He said between laughs, "It's so funny that I can't hold it in."
Gu Ziyun and Du Mingji exchanged a glance, and Du Mingji asked, puzzled, "What?"
The man put down the magazine in his hand, revealing his eyes. He glanced at Gu Ziyun's adorable expression, which was bulging from the egg in his mouth, and couldn't help but chuckle again, saying, "Look at that expression, wow, it's driving me crazy!"
He then put the magazine down, revealing his full appearance: a handsome young man with curly hair.
Gu Ziyun still looked bewildered and asked, "Uncle, who are you? Do you know me?"
Du Mingji looked at the handsome man and couldn't help but smile infatuatedly. She quickly tidied her hair.
The curly-haired youth stared intently at Gu Ziyun, leaned forward, and without any hesitation, took an egg from the bag on the table. As he peeled the egg, he said jokingly, "I know him, how could I not know him!"
After tidying her hair, Du Mingji nudged Gu Ziyun with her elbow and leaned closer to ask, "How did you meet this handsome guy? His looks are only slightly worse than Li Ling's."
As she spoke, Du Mingji glanced at the curly-haired young man opposite her, chuckled, and then complained to Gu Ziyun, "You scheming woman, you actually kept it from me that you met such a handsome young man. You already have Brother Li Ling, isn't that enough? You didn't even introduce this young man to me."
Gu Ziyun shook her head, looking blank, and said, "I don't know him."
"Really?" Du Mingji was a little incredulous.
"Yes," Gu Ziyun confirmed.
Du Mingji looked at the curly-haired youth with some confusion, then suddenly realized what she meant and pointed at him, asking, "Oh, you must have seen it on TV, 'Birth of a Star,' right?"
The curly-haired youth ate an egg, his eyes fixed on Gu Ziyun, smiling without saying a word.
“That’s right, the person sitting next to me is Gu Ziyun, who has the highest score in our region. Oh, right, the one who performed that strange magic trick.” Do Myung-hee thought that this person was Gu Ziyun, whom she had seen on TV.
Previously, in order to be found by the organization, Koo Ja-yoon demonstrated his ability to manipulate objects on a TV show, suspending a microphone in mid-air and claiming it was magic. However, when the organization saw the show, they were able to identify Koo Ja-yoon, and this curly-haired young man was the leader of the five people sent by the organization from its headquarters in the United States.
The curly-haired youth and the other four people sent there were also superpowered individuals who, like Gu Ziyun, had been trained by the organization since childhood. However, their abilities were lower than those of a level one superpowered individual like Gu Ziyun, and they could be controlled by the organization, so they were left to do things for the organization.
All the other Level 1 ability users, except for Gu Ziyun, were killed in the unification and destruction ten years ago.
Because Gu Ziyun's abilities are too powerful, and his head must be destroyed to eliminate him, ordinary people are no match for him. Therefore, the organization transferred five ability users from its US headquarters to eliminate Gu Ziyun. (The remaining text appears to be unrelated and likely refers to a separate entity or event.)

Chapter 132 One slap for every word uttered
"You know what I'm talking about, right?" Du Mingji asked the curly-haired youth again.
“I know.” The curly-haired youth interrupted Do Myung-hee, chewing on an egg while keeping his eyes fixed on Koo Ja-yoon. His tone and demeanor were very lazy: “I already said I know her quite well, Miss Koo Ja-yoon.”
The curly-haired youth tilted his head, carefully examining Gu Ziyun, and said, "You have a name now? Gu Ziyun!"
He looked at Gu Ziyun, who was looking puzzled, and said, "Yeah, it's much better than some kind of number, right?"
After speaking, she leaned closer to Gu Ziyun and said meaningfully, "Don't you think so, Miss Witch?"
Gu Ziyun maintained her dazed expression, her eyes filled with confusion as she looked at the curly-haired youth.
"Woohoo~" Du Mingji laughed out loud and said to Gu Ziyun with a smile, "Your fans know your nickname so quickly."
Terms like "brat," "scheming woman," and "witch" are what Do Myung-hee calls Gu Zi-yun in everyday life. Because she always suffers at Gu Zi-yun's hands, Gu Zi-yun has always been a scheming woman in Do Myung-hee's mind since childhood.
When the curly-haired youth across from her uttered the word "witch," Do Myung-hee assumed it referred to Gu Zi-yun's scheming personality and didn't take it seriously.
He said to Koo Ja-yoon, "This person might really be a huge fan of yours."
As she spoke, Du Mingji looked puzzled and asked the curly-haired youth, "However, how do you know about Ziyun's personality?"
The curly-haired youth ignored Do Myung-hee, but looking at Koo Ja-yoon's blank face, he was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Don't you remember?"
"Huh?" Gu Ziyun, who hadn't swallowed the egg in his mouth, asked curiously, "Uncle, what are you talking about?"
The curly-haired youth frowned slightly and said, "You don't have to... so stop pretending."
Seeing that Gu Ziyun still had that puzzled look on his face, he became even more uncertain: "Please, you can't possibly have amnesia."
"How is that possible?" the curly-haired youth muttered to himself.
"You said you know me very well?" Gu Ziyun asked.
"Of course we're familiar." The curly-haired youth nodded, affirming, "You know me too."
Seeing that Gu Ziyun still didn't seem to recognize him, he asked uncertainly, "What's wrong with you?"
