Chapter 89: The first stop is Xi'an
Kim Hee-sun was very dissatisfied with King taking Lee Hyo-ri and Kim Tae-hee to travel to China, but she had to prepare for the release of the film herself, and she didn't feel particularly unacceptable to see King taking two people to set off together. Not only that, but since the discussion with China and Japan about the simultaneous premiere of the three places is very smooth, it should be a big surprise for the king in China in July, and this kind of mischief psychology is also very marketable in Kim Hee-sun's mind.
Two of the three of them were a little hesitant to see his father about what King had said. Since the candidate is undecided, Kim Tae-hee is very hopeful that he will be chosen, whether it is an official meeting or not, to be able to meet King's father, so that the old man can have a good impression of himself, how will it affect King's final judgment, she is very much looking forward to King will introduce her as his girlfriend.
Lee Hyori is a little different, it is said that King has already come to her house for the Spring Festival, and has established a very good relationship with their family, and it is not a bad thing to pretend to be his girlfriend, just do King a favor at that time. However, Lee Hyori is very serious about his relationship, and in this situation, if King wants her to be his real girlfriend to meet his father, it is acceptable. But this Brother Zhenwu brought a Kim Tae-hee again, and she still had to pretend, so she was not happy. It's just that King has helped her a lot, and it's hard to refuse if she doesn't want to.
After getting on the plane, Kim Tae-hee asked, "Brother Zhenwu, how many people are in your family?" ”
"I have a father in Shanghai, an older brother and sister-in-law in Beijing, and four nephews and a niece. Tae-hee asks what this does? ”
Kim Tae-hee said, "Since we are going to Shanghai to see my uncle and his old man, of course we have to make some preparations, like buying gifts or something, like buying some toys for Brother Zhenwu's nephews and nieces or something?" ”
"Oh hehe," King laughed, "Toys? Then it's unnecessary, right? They're getting old. The eldest nephew is 26 years old this year, older than me, and the youngest nephew is also 20 years old this year, oh, we will definitely meet my third nephew when we go to Beijing, 23 years old, the same age as me, and now the chairman of Tianlong Entertainment Group. ”
"What!" Kim Tae-hee shouted, "The chairman of Tianlong Entertainment Group is only 23 years old, and he is the nephew of Brother Zhenwu!" How is this possible? ”
"What's impossible?" King looked displeased, "I'm also 23 years old, aren't I also the president of DES?" Oh, I see, Tae-hee, you don't like my DES company. ”
To be honest, DES and Tianlong Entertainment are indeed not the same level of companies, but if king said such things to an ordinary girl, she would immediately confess and desperately talk about the good things of DES company, but Taixi said, "There is indeed a gap between the two companies now, but Tianlong Entertainment is an inherited industry, right?" DES company was founded by Brother Zhenwu, and sooner or later it will surpass Tianlong Entertainment. But how much older is Brother Zhenwu's brother than Brother Zhenwu? ”
"He's 20 years older than me, this Lee Hyo-ri should know, right?" Lee Hyori had indeed heard King's family secrets, and knew that his relationship with his father and brother was not very good. Seeing that Lee Hyori didn't answer, King continued, "What I talked about last time is all in the past, there is no need to remember, now they are just my father and brother, just like ordinary people." ”
"Well, that is," Li Xiaoli nodded with a smile, "I'll just say, Brother Zhenwu has decided to be independent, how can he always remember the past?" ”
When the plane landed, as soon as it passed through the security check, King immediately found that he was being targeted, and the people who came were two men in sunglasses.
"Is this President Liu?" The visitor asked.
"I am, may I ask who you are..." King had a bad premonition in his mind.
"Welcome home, Second Young Master." The two of them hurriedly bowed, this kind of etiquette is rare in today's China, but it is still very common for a big family like the Black Gold Empire.
"I remember that I didn't inform anyone that I was returning to China, how would you know?" At this time, both Kim Tae-hee and Lee Hyo-ri could see that King was already displeased.
The person hurriedly saluted again, "We didn't deliberately check the whereabouts of the second young master, but you must know that China is the headquarters of the family, and we will know it as soon as you check in with your ID card." ”
"Oh?" King nodded, "Then that's fine, now you can go." ”
"Well, we're here for two purposes. The first one is security, you know that in the country, the family does not have the power in the dark world, and now those small organizations in the country are all acting on their own, and we can't cause the second young master to be harmed because of them. Second, we know the purpose of your visit to Xi'an, and we can take you to the place you want to go the most. ”
"Where do I most want to go?" King smiled, "Isn't that place a top-secret location anymore?" ”
The person who came nodded his head, "Yes, this base has been abandoned for a long time, and the family's forces in the country are all concentrated in the upper echelons, and the chance of being mortally threatened is very small, and the role of the base has basically disappeared." However, the village is still a paramilitary exclusion zone, and we need to lead it to get in. ”
Paramilitary exclusion zones? Kim Tae-hee and Lee Hyo-ri were very surprised to hear this term, how could King have something to do with this? "That's because my family is the most powerful family here," King didn't intend to hide it, "since the war years, it has been a staunch supporter of the country, the most important bridge for the country's economic communication with the outside world, and now, most of the high-level and middle-level are more or less related to my family. My family became one of the most important objects of protection of the state. I didn't think I could go there, but now it looks like we have one more goal for this trip – the place where I was born. ”
The two men who had come to greet them drove into a small village, where the qiē was the same as when King left, except that there was no one now, and it looked much older than before. "This is where I lived my first five years." He said as he walked into the special house.
"It's no different, it looks like we are in the Korean countryside." Lee Hyo-ri is still very familiar with this kind of place, how can such a place be considered a forbidden area?
"Come, stand here," he pointed to a place, and Kim Tae-hee and Lee Hyo-ri didn't know why, and stood up following his instructions, at which point King twisted the mechanism, and then they saw the other side of the world, a brightly lit underground city.
"Welcome to the Humble House." King said with a smile, and walked inside with the frightened two.
Kim Tae-hee's eyes were a little straight, there was actually everything in the streets and alleys down here, and there was even an underground railway line, "This is really another world, there will be such a place!" ”
"Well, the earliest construction of this project is not modern, but the era of Qin Shi Huang, the place where we stand is one of the exits of the underground mausoleum of the First Emperor, and then we processed it, and now we can use the train to go directly there. The other exit here is on Huashan, which is also a must-visit attraction on our trip. ”
"In search of the world of the past." Lee Hyo-ri suddenly said that this is not the first time this name has been mentioned.
(The first stop on King's trip to China with Kim Tae-hee and Lee Hyo-ri is his birthplace of Xi'an, where they see where King used to live, and Lee Hyo-ri suddenly reminds him of a topic from his last trip: searching for the world of the past.) )
