Chapter 2: Strange Fellows
January 20, 2014, Mayo Clinic, Minnesota, USA
The low wheezing sound in the white hospital room came slowly, and Kim Sung-yeol was sitting and recovering his muscles, in addition to this, although the doctor dissuaded him many times, he still insisted on strengthening his training, wanting to restore his body to its peak as soon as possible.
The door was gently pushed open, and a middle-aged man wearing black glasses walked in, he bowed respectfully to Kim Sung-yeol, and then saw that Kim Sung-yeol was still doing push-ups, so he stood aside and waited patiently.
After Jin Shengyeol finished the 100th push-up, he waved his hand to the middle-aged man with black glasses, and said in a deep voice: "Director Li, tell me what news you brought me." ”
"Yes. When your father passed away the year before last, he divided the 37% shares of CEFC Group into two parts to you and your brother Kim Sang-hyuk, of which Kim Sang-hyuk got 17% of the shares, and you now have 20% of the shares of CEFC Group, which is currently the largest shareholder of CEFC. "The middle-aged man's name is Prime Minister Lee, and he is the person of Kim Sungyeol's father, Tuogu.
"Hehe, I believe my brother must miss me very much." Jin Shenglie turned the glass in his hand and said with a faint smile, but his eyes did not have a trace of smile, cold and intimidating.
Hearing this, Prime Minister Li said softly: "President, when you were transferred here from a hospital in China six years ago, people had already been arranged, and it was absolutely safe here. Even though Kim Sang-hyuk is now the chairman of the CEFC Group, he has never been able to spare too many people to come here because of the issue of shares, so it is safe here. ”
Prime Minister Lee clearly meant that he didn't want Kim Sung-yeol to leave the Mayo Clinic, because on the third day after Kim Sung-yeol woke up, he urgently began recovery training and made it clear that he wanted to return to South Korea.
"Director Li, I hope you can always be on my side and support all my decisions, not against my decisions." Jin Shenglie's tone was cold, he looked at Prime Minister Li coldly, and clearly stated his attitude.
Seeing Jin Shenglie like this, Prime Minister Li couldn't help but sigh softly, Jin Shenglie was not like this before, but since he woke up, his temperament has changed greatly, and Prime Minister Li is not only worried.
"I already know about the shares, so let's tell me if there is any other news." Jin Shenglie said in a deep voice.
Seeing Kim Sung-yeol asking, Prime Minister Lee continued his essential work, and he said softly: "On the 6th of next month, CEFC Group will hold a cocktail party in Seoul as a celebration of CEFC Group's profit exceeding 150 billion US dollars in 2013, and invited well-known people from both political and business sessions to participate. ”
"I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and Director Lee helped me book a ticket to Seoul on the 6th." Prime Minister Li was interrupted by Jin Shenglie before he finished speaking, he was very excited, since he woke up, he has been thinking about the right opportunity to return to China, and the current time is definitely the best time for him to return to China, and there is a good opportunity to reappear in front of everyone in Huaxin Group.
"However, Kim Sang-hyuk will not be unprepared, just like you can see that this is an occasion to return in public, Kim Sang-hyuk is also very aware that this is the opportunity you are waiting for, so I don't approve of you going!" This time, Prime Minister Lee's tone was much tougher than before, and it was clear that he strongly disagreed with Kim Sung-yeol's idea.
"I know! But there is no time, with my understanding of him, this cocktail party is estimated that he wants to prepare in advance for the convening of the shareholders' meeting, if I don't show up again, then the people who support me within CEFC may be shaken, and the situation is very unfavorable for me! Jin Shenglie clenched his fists tightly and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Prime Minister Li also fell silent, he also knew that what Jin Shenglie said was right, so he didn't know what to do for a while, after thinking for a while, he said to Jin Shenglie in a deep voice: "Since you have decided to go, then I hope to be able to transfer Mayo's people to protect you throughout the process!" ”
"Director Lee, it's hard for Kim Sang-hyuk to say that he has already arranged manpower in this Mayo, if so many people act together, I believe that before the plane lands in Seoul, Kim Sang-hyuk has already arranged the manpower for me to die quietly." As soon as Prime Minister Lee finished speaking, he was interrupted by Kim Sung-yeol, who denied Prime Minister Lee's idea.
Kim Sung-yeol's words couldn't help but make Prime Minister Lee frown, obviously his consideration was right, although Kim Sang-hyuk couldn't reach out to Mayo, but there were still many means he could use in Seoul, so Kim Sungyeol's consideration was not unreasonable.
Seeing that Prime Minister Li didn't say anything, Kim Sung-yeol took a deep breath and said word by word: "So it's okay for me to go to Seoul quietly alone." In this gamble, we can bet on three things, betting on Kim Sang-hyuk's eyeliner, betting on Kim Sang-hyuk's reaction speed, and betting on my life. ”
After listening to what Jin Shenglie said, Prime Minister Li not only gasped, he opened his mouth to persuade: "Shenglie, this way"
"I've already decided on the matter, let's do it, Director Li, remember that the matter of booking air tickets must be kept secret!" Jin Shenglie gave a categorical order without waiting for Prime Minister Li to finish speaking, and then he didn't care about Prime Minister Li's situation, and walked over to the bathroom in the ward.
Prime Minister Li saw that Jin Shenglie was obviously a send-off, and even though he had a lot of words, he couldn't use them, so he could only sigh secretly, and randomly bowed respectfully to Jin Shenglie, who had turned around and walked towards the bathroom, and left quietly.
Entering the bathroom, turning on the shower switch, the heat suddenly overflowed, and after a while, it filled the small bathroom, Jin Shenglie leaned in front of the mirror, looking at himself in the mirror, his eyes became colder.
The day after he woke up, he got the video that his father Kim Man-sik recorded to him in the last month of his life from Prime Minister Lee, and he already knew that the initiator of the car accident that night was his brother, Kim Sang-hyuk, who had always cared for him very much. The reason why Kim Sang-hyuk wanted to kill himself was actually just because he was worried that his status would be threatened, because although Kim Sang-hyuk was the eldest son, he was a concubine, and he was an affair committed by Kim Man-sik in the early years.
As Kim Sang-hyuk grew up, because he lacked father's and mother's love since he was a child, he slowly gave birth to a shadow in his heart, and someone kept attacking him with the matter of his concubine, and slowly his personality and psychology changed, which finally led to the car accident.
"Brother, are you in a hurry? It's okay, we'll meet soon, and this time we're going to fight it in a dignified way. No matter if I'm sorry this time, I can't lose anymore because Sangjun is watching me. Kim Sung-yeol looked at himself in the mirror and muttered.
February 6, 2014 at 10 a.m. Incheon Airport.
The sky was overcast, the dark clouds were full of it, the wind was blowing, and the actors were raining, crumbling and ready.
When the first drop of rain fell on Kim Sung-yeol's delicate cheeks, the wind disrupted his bangs like a code that had been negotiated a long time ago, and a heavy rain poured down. Kim Sung-yeol had a faint smile on his face, he was not happy because he had returned to Seoul after six years, but because he had already found out that he had just left the airport, and the 4 guys in black suits were following him, and there was no doubt that they were targeting him.
"OPPA, why did you get here in your own car?" Looking at the black modern car in front of her, a little girl with short hair wearing sunglasses couldn't help but ask with some surprise.
"Hey, don't mention it, Jimin. We don't know what's wrong with the nanny car, it always turns off, and it has been repaired and tested in the store these days, so I had to drive my own car, and you can get in the car when it rains! The man was AOA's agent Choi Zhi, and after complaining about the company's broken nanny car, he immediately found that it was raining now, so he hurriedly called Shin Jimin to get in the car and talk.
"Hey Yigu, how can you say that it will change this day!" Shin Jimin saw that the rain was falling heavily, so she hurriedly carried her small bag to the passenger seat and complained.
Seeing Shin Jimin's cute little face bulging, Choi Ji couldn't help laughing, and then hung up the gear and prepared to go, he said to Shin Jimin: "Fasten your seatbelt, we're leaving." ”
"Oh, good. Oh, no, wait! Shin Jimin's hand on her seat belt paused, and she suddenly found that her wallet was not in her pocket, and she couldn't help but scream in panic.
"What's wrong? Did something fall behind? Seeing that Shin Jimin's face was not very good, Cui Zhi also guessed that she must have lost something, so he also asked worriedly.
Shin Jimin nodded with an ugly face, and she said to Cui Zhi: "What about OPPA, my wallet seems to have dropped at the airport, and there is my ID card in it, what can I do now!" ”
After all, Cui Zhi has been an agent for a long time, and this kind of unexpected incident did not affect him, he quickly made a judgment and said to Shin Jimin: "You stay in the car and wait for me, I'll go down and ask the staff at the airport, don't worry about finding it." ”
After saying that, Cui Zhi didn't wait for Shin Jimin to react, so he opened the car door and got out of the car and ran towards the airport hall, while Shin Jimin stayed in the car with a depressed face, she couldn't figure out where she lost her wallet.
"Looks like there are quite a few of these guys, and I'm going to have to get out of it as soon as possible." Looking at the increasing number of strangers in black suits following him, Kim Sung-yeol also realized that something was wrong now, and he muttered as he walked briskly.
Immediately, Kim Sung-yeol picked up the phone, directly dialed Prime Minister Lee's phone, and said: "Director Lee, my whereabouts have been exposed, now you immediately close the Mayo Clinic, detain all suspicious people today, and Kim Sang-hyuk's 'good friend' is inside and don't let him escape." Also, find out the site of the reception as soon as possible and send me the address, and I'll leave there now. ”
"But do you have a car there? Do you need it" Although Jin Shengyeol's tone was light, Prime Minister Li knew that the situation over there must be dangerous, so he couldn't help but worry.
"It's okay, I've found a suitable car, you send the address as soon as possible, okay first!" As he spoke, Kim Sung-yeol hung up the phone, and when he walked past a black Hyundai car just now, he seemed to catch a glimpse of the main driver's seat inside, so Kim Sung-yeol returned to the side of the car and opened the door.
“OPPA! Come back, who are you! The car door was suddenly opened, and Shin Jimin, who had been keeping her little head down, couldn't help but look up expectantly, but before she finished her words, she panicked and found that the person who got into the car was not Cui Zhi, but a cold man with a cold face.
Shin Jimin's shouting did not disturb Kim Sungyeol, he checked the key first after getting into the car, and after finding that the key was in the car, he twisted the key and started the car, he began to hang the gear, seriously looked at the person who was running towards him quickly in the rearview mirror, and said to Shin Jimin: "I'm sorry, I think maybe I'll be a little busy now, I'll explain it later!" ”
"Ahh As soon as Kim Sungyeol's words came, he stepped on the accelerator to the end, and then quickly changed gears, the speed of the car started very fast, Shin Jimin was not prepared for a while, and was shaken fiercely, she screamed in fright, quickly found a seat belt and fastened it for herself, and then looked at the strange guy beside her with palpitations.
