Chapter 88 – Side Story 4
Megacorp’s youngest son Chapter 01. Bodyguard betrayal event.
“The bodyguard that Xinjiang Group will give you will betray you.”
Jin Yong-tae said to Han Yu-kyung when they first met and were moving together. It was a random comment. This is because Han Yu-kyung does not yet have a bodyguard.
Jin Yong-tae told Han Yu-kyung about what would happen in the future as if predicting the future. She was informed that in return for being admitted to the Department of Business Administration at Korea University as the top student, she would receive a rather large sum of money from her grandfather Han Wenkang, the chairman of Xinjiang Group. Jin Yong-tae said that he should use some of the money to recruit a bodyguard.
Han Yu-kyung did not believe it at first. Jin Yong-tae is the first Korean who doesn’t know much about the situation in Korea, and he knows even less about the situation of Xingang Group. However, after Jin Yong-tae returned to Japan, he was called to the Xinjiang Group’s home and saw with his own eyes that Jin Yong-tae’s prophecy was fulfilled during a meal.
“Kyung, since you worked hard to study, I will give you this allowance. “Guess how much pocket money I have.”
Han Moon-gang was an old man in his early 80s. He was a thin old man with a sharp look, and he was famous for creating the Xinjiang Group himself, unlike most large corporations today that inherited the family business for several generations.
Before the war, he ran a small business called Xinjiang Precision with his older brother Han Mun-shin, which gradually grew larger as it began producing military parts during the war. Meanwhile, it became a medium-sized company during the war, and although his older brother, Han Mun-shin, was caught up in the war and died, Han Mun-kang remained unwavering and continued to run the company with perseverance.
When the war ended and the Republic of Korea was unified, in recognition of its contribution during the war, it was granted a factory and land in North Korea at a price that was practically nothing, and its business grew bigger and bigger, and it soon joined the ranks of large corporations. Since then, thanks to Han Moon-kang, who made the right decisions in every critical case, Shinkang Group has become one of the top 10 companies in Korea.
“I think it’s around 200 million.”
Han Yu-gyeong answered while touching the envelope Han Mun-gang gave her. Jin Yong-tae answered this by saying he would probably give him around 200 million won. In fact, Han Yu-kyung couldn’t even guess how much Han Moon-gang would give her. He said he was her grandfather, but he didn’t know much about Han Wen-gang because he barely met her because his parents got married and moved away. As far as Han Yu-kyung remembers, this was only their third meeting.
“Why did you think that?”
Han Moon-gang’s eyes became sharp. At that moment, Han Yu-kyung realized that her answer was correct. Rather than being happy that she got the answer right, Han Yu-kyung thought it was more surprising that Jin Yong-tae’s prophecy-like story came true.
“Just like that. “I thought if I were your grandfather, I would give you that much money.”
Hehe, that’s the correct answer. When doing business, it’s important to think from the other person’s perspective. “Yugyeong has such a rare virtue.”
Perhaps satisfied with Han Yu-kyung’s answer, Han Moon-gang did not say anything else. Han Yu-kyung put her envelope in her arms. The other relatives who were gathered did not show any jealous looks or reactions, perhaps thinking that 200 million was a small amount of money.
“Yugyeong, congratulations.”
After finishing the meal, Han Jun-young, the eldest grandson of Xinjiang Group, spoke to me. Han Yu-kyung felt uncomfortable with Han Jun-young. The reptilian-like eyes that seemed to have no emotions and the stiff, learned smile made Han Jun-young look like something other than a human being.
“Thank you, Junyoung oppa.”
“Enjoy your four years of college life.”
Han Jun-young tapped Han Yu-kyung on the shoulder twice and left her. Han Yu-kyung couldn’t go yet. This is because her second eldest father, Han Woo-min, sang it. Han Woo-min was in charge of Xinjiang Security, one of the affiliates of Xinjiang Group. Han Woo-min, who has several bodyguards, said that he was planning to give Han Yu-kyung a bodyguard according to the orders of the chairman, Han Mun-gang.
Han Yu-kyung felt strange. All of this was going as Jin Yong-tae said. Then, the bodyguard’s betrayal will definitely come true.
“Yugyeong, this guy here is ideally suited to guard you starting tomorrow.”
“Hello, lady. I look forward to.”
Han Woo-min introduced me to a sharp-looking man who looked like a gangster. As soon as Han Yu-kyung saw Lee Sang-tae, she realized. This bodyguard says he cannot be trusted. Her narrow, sharp eyes were looking at Han Yu-kyung as if she was looking at her prey.
“I will start guarding tomorrow, so go home right away today. “Don’t get into accidents outside.”
“All right. “Let’s go inside, second uncle.”
Han Yu-kyung bowed politely and left her seat. I need to get the bodyguard Jin Yong-tae mentioned right now. I needed someone I could trust, not an untrustworthy person like Lee Sang-tae. This condition would continue to persist from tomorrow, so today was the only chance.
Han Yu-kyung called a taxi and went to Seoul Station. She then went to where the homeless people were lying. Since it had been only eight years and a little more since the end of the war, Seoul Station was full of homeless people without homes or shelters.
There, Han Yu-kyung found the homeless person Jin Yong-tae had mentioned. A man named Dixon Scott was unusually white. Dixon Scott was a man in his early thirties who was falsely accused and dishonorably discharged at the end of the war. After that, he was unable to find a job and ended up homeless in Korea.
After Yu-kyung Han looked for a white homeless man for about ten minutes, she finally saw a white man lying in a corner with her eyes blurry.
“Mr. Dixon Scott.”
“What… ?”
When she heard Yukyung Han’s words, she looked up at Dixon Scott. He was said to be white, but with his scraggly grime and dusty brown hair, he looked no different than the homeless man next to her.
“I’d like to hire you.”
“How do you know that you hired me?”
Dixon’s Korean was fluent, perhaps because he had been living in Korea for a long time. Han Yu-kyung answered exactly as Jin Yong-tae had told her.
“It doesn’t matter. “The only thing that matters is whether you have the will to stand up again.”
“I have the will. “And what are you hiring for?”
“Please protect me from my bodyguard.”
Dixon, who guessed that there was a story behind Han Yu-kyung’s words, thought quietly for a moment, then nodded his head and stood up.
“Please give me $3,000 a month. And I want one million won as a down payment. “If you just do this, I will protect you from the bodyguard you fear.”
“Great. However, I will give you five times the down payment. “You have to buy a suit and you probably have a lot to prepare.”
“All right. “Let’s go outside first.”
As Han Yu-kyung and Dixon talked about money, the homeless people around them began to prick up their ears one by one, so the two hurried out of Seoul Station. As he looked around and protected Han Yu-kyung, it seemed like he was used to protecting her.
Yu-Kyung Han went to her ATM, withdrew her money and gave it to Dixon along with a note with her own contact information.
“Starting tomorrow, please keep an eye on me and my bodyguard. “The contact information is all written on the note.”
“All right. Thank you “For saving my life.”
“Thanks to you for choosing to stand up.”
Han Yu-kyung and Dixon parted ways in front of the ATM machine.
The next day, Han Yu-kyung couldn’t help but be surprised to see Dixon. Dixon, who was clean-washed, had his hair cut, and wore glasses, looked like a college English conversation instructor. If it were to this extent, there would not be so much suspicion even within the university.
And after OT, real college life began. Dixon dutifully watched Han Yu-kyung and Lee Sang-tae without being caught. Dixon worked hard and did well, but more than anything, Dixon was able to avoid being caught because Lee Sang-tae neglected his duties as a bodyguard.
Time continued to pass and it was a day right before the midterm exam. I was riding in the car driven by Lee Sang-tae in front of my house, and I felt that Lee Sang-tae’s eyes were stranger than ever.
‘It’s today!’
Since I was already in the car, I couldn’t run away. However, Han Yu-kyung calmly sent the promised text message to Dixon.
Dixon will come in pursuit. This is because a tracking device was installed on Han Yu-kyung’s phone. Until then, Han Yu-kyung decided to act to keep Lee Sang-tae off guard.
“Um, uncle? The road is not this way, is it? “Shouldn’t we get out of there?”
“Shut up.”
Still, he had treated me politely until yesterday, but now he was in an abnormal state, pouring out harsh words as if he would no longer do that.
“Shut up before I sell you to a whorehouse!”
The car was going to an increasingly remote place. The car drove for several hours and arrived at an abandoned school in Gyeonggi-do.
“If you move, you die!”
Lee Sang-tae threatened Han Yu-gyeong with a knife and tied both of her hands with leather straps. As soon as Lee Ji-kyung became involved, Han Yu-kyung became a little afraid. What happens if Dixon doesn’t come?
“Come on!”
The closed school seemed to have been prepared by Lee Sang-tae in advance. There was a mattress laid out in a place like a sports warehouse, and there were no other miscellaneous items. Han Yu-kyung was thrown onto the mattress.
“I barely held back until now. Can you do anything? “Even though I tried to look good, there were more than a few times when I was in a bad mood because of his stiff attitude.”
Because he knew that Lee Sang-tae would betray him, he seemed to have secretly noticed Han Yu-kyung’s attitude. Lee Sang-tae wanted to become friends with the beautiful Han Yu-kyung, but he seemed to have been hurt by Han Yu-kyung’s cold attitude.
“I kept thinking about it, and it occurred to me that you, who wanted to take advantage of it, would kill two birds with one stone by taking advantage of it and receiving money from your family, right? It’s simple. “Have you heard of kidnapping?”
Lee Sang-tae seemed to have already lost his mind and began to hesitate as he took off his clothes one by one. It was absurd that the only conclusion I came to after thinking about it was kidnapping.
As the abnormal state gradually approached, Han Yu-kyung’s body began to tremble. If Dixon is a little late, his body, which is only available to Jin Yong-tae, will be forcibly violated by Lee Sang-tae.
“Now, I will take off those clothes myself…” ! Hehe!”
When Lee Sang-tae’s hand touched Han Yu-kyung’s shoulder, Han Yu-kyung turned her head and bit Lee Sang-tae’s forearm.
“Kaaaaa!! This bitch!?”
Lee Sang-tae screamed, covering his bleeding forearm. The moment when Lee Sang-tae raised his hand to hit Han Yu-kyung.
Fusuk!
Lee Sang-tae collapsed with a suppressed sound from the silencer. Finally, the long-awaited Dixon arrived. Dixon hit the target with accurate shooting.
“Thanks for coming, Dixon.”
“It’s my job.”
Dixon said, putting a pistol with a silencer in his pocket. Han Yu-kyung looked at the pistol with a silencer for a moment. That pistol was the one that Jin Yong-tae got for me while we were traveling around Seoul together during our first meeting.
“If I hire a bodyguard later, I can give him this.”
It seemed as if I could hear Jin Yong-tae’s voice speaking at that time. Han Yu-kyung made a promise. I will never doubt that no matter what Jin Yong-tae says, I will believe it.
###
“Then suddenly, there was talk of superpowers and a leopard appeared out of thin air. Weren’t you surprised?”
On his second trip to Korea, Jin Yong-tae suddenly asked Han Yu-kyung. Han Yu-kyung smiled and shook her head.
“Yongtae, I believe everything you say. “I wasn’t that surprised.”
