Episode 146. Away
Gong Chi-young stared at Kang-soo’s face and said.
“Sheesh— did you hear from Soyoung? I don’t think he’s the type to talk about me.”
“… Did you know that your sister was among the staff who worked with Yoo So-hyun?”
This time, the precipitation was more surprising. Besides, the reaction that was so calm was bound to be strange.
“Since it’s a variety show featuring Yoo So-hyun, the staff also checked and found out. Well, I knew from long ago that I became a broadcast writer, but… … .”
“I see.”
What more do I have to say here?
After thinking for a while, Kangsu continued.
“Have you never returned home since you left home to go to college when you were really young?”
“that’s right.”
Kang-soo tried to ask more there, but stopped.
“I happened to hear about your sister, and she seemed very worried.”
“I know. I got into MIT out of anger. My parents and other relatives didn’t understand what I was good at, and that was the best way for me to survive.”
“… It must have been a lot of trouble.”
For some reason, Kangsu understood.
Gong Chi-young was a genius. And the place where Gong Chi-yeong lived at the time was the countryside. If the genius had not been understood by those around him, it was obvious that the person concerned would have lived a difficult life.
“There are things I can’t go back to because of what I’m doing now. While studying at MIT, I received recruitment offers from various special organizations. Although I refused everything and came back to Korea because of the military.”
“You went to Ejisto after being discharged, right?”
“that’s right. Well—you know roughly from there.”
As they talked, Theresa, who was sitting on the back sofa, raised her hand.
“Kong, did you have a sister?”
She had never spoken of her family, so it was only natural that Theresa was ignorant.
“Yes.”
“But why didn’t you tell me?”
“… How come?”
It was an awkward atmosphere.
Kang-su, guessing that position, intervened for a moment.
“At Ejisto, we don’t ask each other about personal information. It was the same for you.”
It was only recently that he learned that Teresa’s adoptive father was Carlos Costa, CEO of Egisto.
Theresa nodded as if she understood.
“But not anymore. You have a family, so why don’t you ever visit?”
“What we are doing now is a bit risky. It’s unlikely that my identity will be exposed, but I’ll have to be careful just in case.”
It wasn’t wrong.
But Theresa also had a part that bothered her.
“You’re fine now. How about a visit sometime? I’ll go too!”
“huh? Teresa too?”
“why? no?”
“That’s not it… … .”
Fourteen years have passed since Gong Chi-yeong left his hometown.
I had a chin that I couldn’t find as easily as I did over the years.
While worrying so much, Kang-soo slowly opened his mouth.
“I had something to tell you.”
“… What?”
At Gong Chi-young’s question, Kang-soo thought for a moment and said.
“Your sister, did you know that she moved to Tuun with PD Choi Yoon-ho, who filmed TMC?”
“huh? Did you go there with me?”
“They said they decided to make a variety show called ＜Away＞, which is being produced by PD Yoonho Choi at Tuun together.”
At that moment, Gong Chi-young’s eyes sparkled.
It was because there was no detailed news about Ople’s Tuun.
However, I couldn’t help but be surprised to know Kang-soo’s transfer news and the name of an entertainment show that hadn’t even been announced yet.
“Tuun is a new place opened by OPLE this time. How do you know the news so well?”
“ah… I have a bit of a friendship with PD Choi Yoon-ho who went there. I found out after coming to our company for a meeting.”
It’s not something to say casually about the production, but there was no particular problem with Gong Chi-yeong and Teresa.
In particular, Gong Chi-young is a person who cares more about the well-being of stars than her own fans, so there would be no leakage.
“meeting? By any chance, someone in the variety show called ＜Away＞… … ?”
“I can’t say that.”
Of course, Kang-soo also knew the line he had to keep from the position of a manager.
However, it was possible to infer who it was just because Kang-soo attended the meeting.
“Uh, when? When are you coming out?”
Gong Chi-young was full of anticipation.
“secret.”
“hey! You can tell me that much!”
“hmm… I’m going to go filming soon. But that place is the hometown of author Gong So-young.”
“… What if Soyeong is your hometown?”
It was a very simple calculation.
Gong Chi-yeong understood why Kang-soo had brought up Gong So-yeong.
“It is also your home. Well, once it is. You know what to do.”
It was judged that it was a problem that the river was involved more than that. So, I drew a line in moderation and looked at Gong Chi-yeong.
I was contemplating sitting in a wheelchair.
Then Teresa grabbed Gong Chi-yeong’s forearm.
“How about we go?”
“… huh? where my house?”
“So this is our house?”
“but… … .”
Gong Chi-young was more worried than before.
Kang-soo, who was watching the two people, moved his gaze to a different place in a mysterious atmosphere.
Then, Gong Chi-young turns around for a moment.
“Let’s talk about it later. For now, I have something to say about Club Lete.”
Theresa nodded as if she understood.
Then, Gong Chi-young continues to speak.
“What are you going to do with the other videos from there? By now, Ahn Hee-won and him must be trembling about when they will die in the prosecution.”
Ahn Hee-won had fled through a secret passage as soon as Lim Chun-seong left. Of course, it was obvious that he would no longer be able to stay in Korea, so he moved to stow away.
However, he did not know that Lim Chun-seong had blocked all smugglers to the West Sea and approached, but was caught by the police and handed over to the prosecution.
“Anyway, the members of Club Lete know that he doesn’t have any more videos. I’m sure he’ll be aiming for Chun-seong Lim, who knows he took it, but… … .”
“You can’t hit unless you’re crazy.”
The news that Lim Chun-seong took over the Sahapa, which ruled the underworld in the central and southern regions, spread widely.
It was clear that no matter how wealthy the children were or those in considerable positions, they would not be able to move easily.
It was difficult for Kang-soo to infiltrate unnoticed, so he asked Lim Chun-seong after thinking about that.
“So what? burst? By the way, you know that the aftermath is not small, right?”
“Leave it for now. If we exploded all at once, there would be a lot of people who would get buried and escape. We have to see until the prosecution can make a move.”
“In the video I checked, there are some prosecutors, but there are probably more. I know that far.”
Along with the answer, Kangsu brought up another story.
“The data brought from France are all cured and can be confirmed, right?”
“It is difficult right now. When your hand heals, I’ll analyze that too.”
The work itself was difficult right now.
Kang-soo looked at Theresa this time.
“Are you sure you quit Blue Guard? Today, I decided to meet Director Kim Cheol-ho. I want to be clear.”
“that’s right. I said I made sure it wouldn’t happen again, but just in case.”
It was because Gong Chi-young’s role was important, so he needed someone to protect him.
Of course, Teresa was the only one who could fill that role right away.
“okay. I’ll pass it on like that. Ah— Mr. Yoo So-hyun and Mr. Kim Bo-ran were very sorry.”
“I couldn’t contact you again because I was preparing here. I will contact both of them.”
Kangsu left the internet cafe after the conversation.
.
.
.
Soon after, Kang-soo arrived at Blue Guard and sat face-to-face with General Manager Kim Chul-ho.
Coffee was served in front of the two of them, but nothing was said. Then, Kim Chul-ho carefully took his luck first.
“Last time… There were many examples.”
“Nothing. I also know that there is nothing you can do about it.”
“… Thank you for your understanding.”
“However, if you continue to be swung around, it won’t be good.”
Kim Chul-ho cleared his throat at the fierce Kang-soo’s reply.
“Big, big—! That will never happen.”
Blue Guard was Jin Soo-hyeok’s company that had nothing to do with the military.
However, if Kim Chul-ho, one of the key figures in the Blue Guard, was shown being instructed by someone else, Kang-soo had no choice but to act suspiciously.
“You may have heard, but I told that person well(?). And if the same thing happens again, I will not stand still.”
“… I wanted to ask about that too. What did you say to him?”
Even after he retired, former Defense Minister Lee Tae-hoon’s presence was still not light.
It was because the reputation and numerous relationships he had built up to the position were supporting him.
Kang-soo made Lee Tae-hoon shut his mouth.
“You don’t need to know. And Teresa has decided she can’t come out anymore.”
“is it… … ?”
I couldn’t ask more questions along with the counter-questions.
There was no choice but to do so, and Kang-soo’s answer conveyed a sense of heaviness.
“It’s too bad. Yoo So-hyun will be very sorry.”
Kim Cheol-ho knew very well that Teresa got along well with her and trusted her a lot.
There was a lot of concern because it is difficult to fill again as much as such talent has left.
“I will tell Mr. Yoo So-hyun on his own.”
“Once you know.”
Woo-woo-woo-woo-
In Kang-soo’s arms, the phone rang.
[President]
It was a call from my grandfather, Jin Yeon-seok.
“Excuse me.”
After Kang-su said goodbye to Kim Chul-ho, he came out and pressed the call button.
Then Jin Yeon-seok’s voice came over the receiver.
[Kang Soo. A guest has come to my office now.]
“A guest?”
[Ms. Ha Ri-yeon of Chiniu Group.]
At the same time, Kangsu let out a shallow sigh.
It was because I knew roughly what reason he went to Jin Yeon-seok.
“I will call you.”
[…] okay.]
Kang-soo ended the call and dialed the missed phone number he had called several times recently. Connected without beeping a few times.
[Now he’s calling me.]
“Is there a problem?”
[I want to see it once.]
“I will go there.”
[no. I hope to see you in a quiet place. I’ll let you know the location by message, so please release the block first.]
“… I see.”
ended the call again.
Kang-soo opened his cell phone and unlocked the blocked number.
Then, as if he had been waiting, a message arrived on his cell phone.
uhhh—
[Central Hotel, VIP-only floor cafe]
Kang-su, who went outside, drove the car toward the hotel.
After about 20 minutes, I arrived at the hotel and went up to the VIP floor. After checking my name at the entrance, I was guided and went inside.
It was a place made up of rooms.
When the door opened, Ha Ri-yeon was sitting in the back, accompanied by a bodyguard.
“sit down please.”
Meanwhile, the door was closed.
Kang-soo sat across from her and said straight-forward.
“Are you going to keep bothering me like this?”
“… Am I bothering you?”
When dealing with Sahapa or socially burying Seo Myung-won, Ha Ri-yeon kept in touch.
Of course, since I was on an operation, I chewed everything.

Normally, he wouldn’t come if he didn’t get in touch that much, but he kept in touch. That’s why Kang-soo blocked the number… … .
In the end, Ha Ri-yeon even went to visit Jin Yeon-seok, who was at the company.
Of course, it was also possible because she was the granddaughter of the Chiniu Group.
“yes. I don’t really have anything to say to you, don’t you keep doing this?”
In response to Kang-soo’s answer, Ha Ri-yeon met her eyes with an unchanging expression.
