Regression Life of a Retired S-Class Mercenary

Episode 68. Target

In summary, it meant that the actual owner of the townhouse in Yongin City had changed to China’s Chiniu Group.

But how… … ?

“The shooting situation has nothing to do with that, right? I wouldn’t have let Jamie Clein get into trouble.”

“that’s right. In the first place, when signing a contract for the use of a townhouse, it was a condition that the contract would be unconditionally attached as an option even if the beneficial owner changes. Even though I honestly never thought it would change.”

“… It must be a lawsuit.”

Kim Cheol-ho made a surprised expression at Kang-soo’s guess.

Of course, I acknowledge Kang-soo’s skills, but I didn’t think that he would be bright in that way either.

“How did you know?”

“Doesn’t the fact that a company come out this way means that it will harm you in some way? If so, it must mean there is a purpose. Is this an investor problem?”

“Did you know that far?”

The other day, when Jamie Klein came to JIN Entertainment with Hawk O’Brien, Kang-soo heard about the problem of Chinese investors.

At the time, I heard that the contact with the investor was completed well, but it was not.

“I heard a little something.”

“Anyway, it seems that Qiniu Group, the investor there, originally tried to sway the production company to have it filmed in China. After that was settled, I stayed quiet and then started working during the filming. They say that a lawsuit has been filed regarding the application for suspension of use.”

It was a head on its own.

It’s more damaging when it’s in progress than creating a problem in the first place… … .

“Is there no countermeasure for the original owner of the townhouse?”

“They said he fell asleep. Even if you search for it, it will be useless now.”

Filming for ＜My Neighbor Diablo＞ had already progressed.

It’s still in the early stages of the story, but it was impossible to change the filming location now.

If it was changed, everything had to be re-shot.

Of course, there was no rush because there was no fixed airing schedule.

But investors would be the biggest problem.

“Did you come up with the right way?”

“There was nothing. On our side, all we discussed was Yoo So-hyun’s schedule until the matter was resolved. In the end, that’s what you’ll solve.”

There was nothing for Jin Entertainment to get involved.

At least, I didn’t know if the Blue Guard would be able to intervene a little due to this damage.

“What about the injured security staff? Are you okay?”

“In terms of degree, it’s almost mediocre. There are guys who need rehabilitation, and the contract grade is high, so I assigned them with good skills, but all of them were beaten because they couldn’t use their hands properly.”

“You mean the experts.”

It meant that there were absolutely no gangsters or gangsters.

“Maybe the Chiniu Group deliberately tried their hand at that.”

“Maybe.”

What kind of symbol is it? It was rare to say that an investment was rejected.

Kang-soo had doubts and thought about the Chiniu group.

“Anyway, that’s it. I have to go to the hospital.”

“Thank you for telling me.”

Kang-soo got out of the car and checked the company schedule again.

Due to the suspension of filming, Yoo So-hyun took a day off.

In response, Kang-soo called Teresa and headed to Gong Chi-young’s PC room.

.

.

.

In the secret space of the World Cup PC room, Gong Chi-young had a video editor running on his computer.

“Mistress—what comes out so much! It keeps getting stuck.”

I drew the touch pen hard on the illustration pad placed in front of the keyboard.

At the same time, only Teresa’s appearance from ‘Take My Camera, Yoo So-hyun’ floating on the screen was blurred with a brush.

It also showed meticulousness to blend in with the surrounding background as much as possible.

“madam! You keep coming!”

Gong Chi-young was intent on erasing Teresa’s face.

Of course, the Teresa interview was neatly cut with editing.

However, since Teresa is Yoo So-hyun’s bodyguard, she continued to accompany her, so she had no choice but to be caught every time the screen turned.

Talk tok-

Suddenly, someone tapped Gong Chi-young on the shoulder.

“huh? Are you here? wait a bit.”

“Avoid.”

“… huh?”

“Avoid.”

Shuaac—

From the entrance, a red drawing knife was fired like a beam of light, passed in front of Gong Chi-young who turned his head, and stuck into an empty wall.

There was no need to avoid it.

Theresa deliberately threw it close.

“omg-“

“Am I 19 gold? Why mosaic?”

“My, my heart!”

“Shall I plug it into the monitor?”

“Just do it!”

Gong Chi-young covered the monitor, and Teresa tried to throw a knife.

Seeing the two of them, Kang-soo shook his head.

“Stop it now. Did you record it?”

“of course. It’s an entertainment show where our Yoo So-hyun appeared properly.”

“What did I ask for?”

“wait. Just erase this—”

Gong Chi-young, who was about to brush again, glanced at Teresa holding the drawing knife and then lowered the screen.

“Big, big. First of all, I looked into the stock information of the Chinese side of the Chiniu Group.”

“What happened?”

“The Children’s Rebellion.”

“I am?”

“Chi Niu Group CEO Wu Fei has three wives, six children, and nine grandchildren. Oh, you are eight now.”

The one that just disappeared was Woo Joon Joon.

At those words, Kangsu guessed what the situation was.

“It seems to mean that a battle for management control has taken place.”

“that’s right. Rumor has it that Chief Wu Fei is already dead. Well, it hasn’t been proven yet.”

Chiniu Group is one of the top five in China.

Such a huge group was raised in a ruthless way in the hands of its founder, Wu Fei.

I didn’t choose a way to grow affiliates.

It was to the point of being called the Mad Red Bull, after the group’s name.

Moreover, even to his own children, he did not easily hand over his shares and affiliates.

“But what does it have to do with the chaos over there and the chaos here?”

“I don’t know. However, I only found out that Wu Xian, born to Song Chen-hua, the wife of the royal family, is the representative of Chiniu Trading, an affiliate company that bought a townhouse in Yongin City.”

“U Xuan?”

He was a person who became a uncle to the deceased Woo Joon-jun.

“The only thing I can guess is that Wu Xuan’s lover is Chen Wei. Isn’t that a bit big for you to think about?”

Chen Wei was a famous Chinese actress who auditioned for ＜My Neighbor Diablo＞.

Kang Soo had also seen that face at an audition in Los Angeles.

At that time, it was canceled due to the incident, but… … .

Afterwards, it was reported in the article that she auditioned in Korea, but in the end, Yoo So-hyun was selected as the main character, and Chen Wei could not play any role.

“To be honest, it’s a lot of work to say that Xuan Wu is ruining the production of ＜My Neighbor Diablo＞ just to appease his girlfriend who failed the audition. But the information is a bit detailed compared to what you said no to Theresa earlier.”

“… … .”

Gong Chi-young cast his gaze into the distance.

There was no way Kangsu didn’t know what that meant.

“See you later. First of all, Wu Xuan made up his mind for whatever reason.”

The townhouse was secretly purchased for a large sum.

If it hadn’t been discussed with the owner of the site from the beginning, it would have been difficult to make it so that no one knew how long the production was in progress.

It means that you put a lot of effort into it, but did you really do it because of one lover?

While the two were thinking, Theresa intervened.

“Could it be that the Wu Xuan you are talking about is referring to Wu Xuan, one of the major shareholders of Chiniu Holdings?”

“that’s right. Do you know anything?”

“That person must have had enough of that, or he must have plans that are not good enough. There was a time when I was in charge of an escort request for Ejisto. Goosebumps just thinking about that time… … .”

Theresa’s expression crumpled like a sheet of paper as she explained.

I felt like I had a bad memory.

“Why is that?”

“You told me to come in as a concubine to Ji! I should have split the head with a knife then.”

“So what?”

“I couldn’t do it because it was dried around. The representative also said something.”

“Is it over there?”

Theresa shook her head at Gangsu’s question.

“Can it be? They said that after that, they handed out a blank check to the CEO saying they would take over Ejisto.”

“To your adoptive father?”

“that’s right. to my dad First of all, Dad went into a fit of rage and cut off all dealings with the Chiniu Group.”

After hearing the explanation, Kangsu was dumbfounded.

How much had Teresa coveted her, she would have done such a bizarre and bold thing.

Meanwhile, Gong Chi-yeong realized something strange next to him.

“Who is the father of who?”

“What are you talking about. Of course I’m talking about Theresa’s adoptive father.”

“therefore. Who is that adoptive father?”

“You’re talking about CEO Egisto Carlos Costa. Oh, didn’t you know?”

Kang Soo was surprised to hear about it recently through General Manager Kim Cheol-ho.

“Really, CEO Costa is Teresa’s adoptive father?”

This time, Theresa answered.

“that’s right.”

“What are you talking about so nonchalantly?”

“It’s not really a secret now.”

Then Gong Chi-yeong looked at Kang-soo.

“Kangsu, how did you know?”

“Somehow, I got it. When I entered JIN Enter, I heard that CEO Costa recommended me to Blue Guard.”

Gong Chi-young was dumbfounded by such an explanation.

Besides, I was afraid of Carlos Costa until now.

“however… You don’t look alike.”

“You said stepfather earlier.”

“ah-“

Gong Chi-yeong did not ask any more. Because it seemed like there was a story behind it.

“Anyway, crazy—no, what Theresa has been through is enough for this situation?”

“I think so.”

Is the strangeness in the family? … .

Of course, everything so far has been speculation.

“I’ll have no choice but to brush it off.”

“What are you going to do? Don’t you know that it’s the Chiniu Group?”

“I’m just going to check. check only. So just give me information about Wu Xuan.”

“… … .”

Anyway, Yoo So-hyun’s work was emptied when the filming was stopped.

Things that had already been postponed were also difficult to pull as the schedule was confirmed.

Until then, Kang Soo had nothing to do with JIN Entertainment.

“why? What more do you want me to get you?”

Gong Chi-yeong always had one condition.

This time, Kangsu thought that way.

“Ask me something.”

“huh? what?”

“Aren’t you making a making film for Take My Camera’s Yoo So-hyun episode?”

“… … .’

“Ah, that bastard.”

Theresa, who had been quiet, took out a drawing knife and tried to hold it in, as if it had exploded.

In response, Kangsu grabbed her arm and nodded slightly.

Next day.

It was during breakfast at Jin Yeon-seok’s mansion in Pyeongchang-dong.

“He doesn’t show his face these days.”

At Jin Yeon-seok’s muttering, the family members who were moving their spoons and chopsticks stopped.

Then, Lee Ji-yoon, the daughter-in-law, spoke cautiously.

“if… Are you talking about precipitation?”

“Big—does a father know what his children are doing?”

This time, he was targeting Jin Soo-hyeok.

“You’re not even a child of one or two years old, are you?”

“How old is Kangsu this year?”

“… You will be 32.”

“Aren’t you going to see your grandchildren?”

“Poop—!”

“Kek—!”

At the same time, Jin Woo-yeon and Jin Woo-kyung, the grandchildren of Jin Yeon-seok, who were eating at the end of the table, were surprised.

So did others.

“Are those things completely gone, and Kang-soo doesn’t have any women to meet?”

“… That’s what I don’t know.”

“Find out. Do you have any thoughts on confrontation?”

The target of the confrontation was moved from Jin Soo-hyeok to Kang-su.

In response, Jin Soo-hyeok did not stand still.

“Father, Kangsu will take care of it. So let it go.”

“How long will I live? What, those guys… . One guy always drinks while saying it’s work, and the other guy always sells books in the lab. Eh—”

I was talking about Jin Woo-yeon and Jin Woo-kyung.

The two lowered their heads, as if they had nothing to say.

“Anyway, just ask. It’s not nice to see a guy who doesn’t have any odd corners be alone for so long.”

“… I will ask.”

After eating, Jin Soo-hyeok got into the car and called Kang-su.

[The number you just dialed is off… … .]

“huh-?”

At this time, I would have been ready to go to work, or I would have gone to work already.

Concerned, Jin Soo-hyeok called Director Yoo Chae-yeon.

[Yes, CEO.]

“Did manager Han Kang-soo go to work today?”

I wasn’t used to being called comfortable yet.

From nob le mt l dot com

Now, Director Yoo Chae-yeon confirmed something and answered.

[Manager Han Kang-soo has applied for unpaid leave for a week from today.]

“Unpaid leave?”

[It seems that I used up my annual leave the other day and applied for it without pay.]

That wasn’t what Jin Soo-hyeok was curious about.

“Don’t you know what’s going on?”

[I’m also there… … .]

“Once you know.”

After finishing the call, Jin Soo-hyeok felt ominous.
