Minotaur Kim Soo Hyun!
Chapter 143: Kim Soo-hyun the Minotaur!
Kim Soo-hyun has been targeted recently, as if the entertainment industry is avoiding him.
It's as if Kim Soo-hyun is a stink bomb.
Forget acting, he can't even appear on variety shows; there's no place for him to show his face.
Without exception, he was blacklisted!
Kim Soo-hyun also couldn't figure out who he had offended, and the people around him dared not tell him.
Because this person might be extremely powerful!
Boundlessly powerful.
Kim Soo-hyun's plea moved Kim Ji-won, who was standing by.
Part of the reason for Kim Soo-hyun's current predicament might very well have been caused by her.
She didn't know the specific reason.
She just had a feeling that an invisible hand was controlling everything from behind.
Kim Hee-won sighed and said, "You offended someone you shouldn't have."
"Who?"
"Me!"
A young man's voice came from the other end of Kim Soo-hyun's phone.
He was stunned for a moment, then asked, "You are???"
"Get away from Kim Ji-won immediately. I'm only saying this once."
Remember our 101 Book Network
???
Kim Soo-hyun was stunned at first, thinking, 'Who the sibal are you? Such a big tone.' Then a surge of anger rose within him.
Although they were fake lovers, they were at least publicly a couple.
This young man's behavior was, without a doubt, an insult to a man.
A great humiliation.
"You sibal!!!"
Kim Soo-hyun immediately cursed, "Who are you?! What business is it of yours whether I leave Kim Ji-won or not?!"
"Speak!"
Kim Ji-won, standing by, didn't understand why Kim Soo-hyun suddenly got so angry.
Didn't he say it was an audition for the male lead?
How did it turn into a shouting match all of a sudden?
Kim Ji-won wanted to go up and mediate, but Kim Soo-hyun pushed her away.
"Speak!"
"Is it you who's been pulling strings behind the scenes? You sneaky bastard!"
Kim Soo-hyun had a premonition that his recent career setbacks were definitely caused by this guy.
No wonder!
It's about Kim Ji-won's people!
Kim Soo-hyun looked at Kim Ji-won, who had fallen to the ground, without a trace of pity, but instead filled with hatred and resentment.
Make me leave Kim Ji-won?
This guy definitely has something to do with Kim Ji-won!
"Kim Soo-hyun, you brat! You'd better be more respectful when you speak to Young Master Zhao."
Kim Hee-won's smiling expression immediately turned cold, and he threatened sternly, "Young Master Zhao is not someone you can afford to provoke."
"Give me the phone!"
Zhao Zhengzhe's face turned ashen. He snatched the phone and threatened, "Tomorrow!"
"I'm only giving you one day."
"If I see you and Kim Ji-won as a couple again, even if it's fake, it won't do."
"Your name is Kim Soo-hyun, right?"
"Next life, reincarnate and try the entertainment industry again."
"You..." Kim Soo-hyun felt his blood pressure surge to his head. He really wished he had grabbed a kitchen knife earlier.
And gone directly through the phone line to chop down that arrogant Zhao Zhengzhe.
Kim Hee-won picked up the phone from the ground. Sibal, this is my phone, if you want to smash it, smash your own.
Kim Hee-won glanced at the still-connected phone and kindly reminded him.
"Soo-hyun, there's an old saying in Xia Guo: 'A wise man submits to circumstances!'"
"Young Master Zhao is the son of Councilman Cho, who is currently in power."
"You shouldn't have had your eye on the woman Young Master Zhao fancies."
"Ever since Kim Ji-won's debut, Young Master Zhao has silently invested a lot of resources behind her."
"You... take care of yourself. Perhaps there's still hope. Your acting skills aren't bad either."
"The entertainment industry may not lack a meal for you."
"But if you offend Young Master Zhao, you'd better leave the Peninsula Country and run away as soon as possible. There's no place for you here."
Beep beep.
Kim Soo-hyun's face was ashen, looking at the disconnected call on his phone.
Son of Councilman Cho???
These four words, 'son of a councilor,' were like a mountain, instantly crushing Kim Soo-hyun.
Kim Soo-hyun felt a bit regretful. He had been too impulsive just now and insulted the son of a councilor???
In The Peninsula, you cannot offend Chaebol, councilors, Prosecutors, or soldiers.
Offend any of the above.
And you can forget about making a living in The Peninsula Country!
Especially in the entertainment industry.
"I offended the son of a councilor?!"
Kim Soo-hyun seemed to lose all his strength, kneeling on the ground, muttering repeatedly, "It's over."
"It's over, everything is over."
At this moment, Kim Ji-won looked at Kim Soo-hyun's disheveled appearance and asked with concern, "Soo-hyun, you..."
"What's wrong?"
Kim Ji-won didn't understand what Kim Hee-won had said on the phone.
What Young Master Zhao, what offending a councilor.
Vaguely, it seemed to have something to do with her.
"Hahahahaha!!!"
Kim Soo-hyun laughed manically, pointing fiercely at Kim Ji-won: "You! It's all you, you bitch!"
"If you hadn't used me as a shield."
"I wouldn't have provoked the councilor's son."
"Kim Ji-won, your trick of 'driving a wolf to devour a tiger' is truly vicious!"
"Do you really think a small actor like me could provoke the son of a councilor?"
"You think too highly of me!!!"
Kim Ji-won was a little scared. The increasingly deranged Kim Soo-hyun in front of her was so unfamiliar and terrifying.
"I... I don't know."
"What councilor's son? What shield?"
Kim Ji-won admitted that she had thought of using Kim Soo-hyun as a shield at first.
But she definitely didn't mean to harm Kim Soo-hyun.
"Are you still playing dumb with me?!"
Kim Soo-hyun was on the verge of collapse. Being blacklisted in the entertainment industry meant his life was over.
He had just finished acting in a popular TV drama that swept across the country.
To disappear from the big screen like this, he was unwilling!
Kim Soo-hyun's face contorted as he said, "Do you think you've had such good resources all these years?"
"Everything went smoothly, and even the director of 'Queen of Tears' personally requested you to be the female lead."
"It's all because of your good luck?"
"I'm telling you, Kim Ji-won, that's because someone took a liking to you!"
"They paved the way with resources for you and made arrangements for you in the entertainment industry."
"Otherwise, do you think your trash acting skills would get you so many good scripts to be the female lead?"
Kim Ji-won was stunned by his words. He was right. Since her debut, everything had indeed gone smoothly and prosperously.
It was like having a green light all the way, moving unimpeded in the entertainment industry.
She had also thought that there was a benefactor helping her from behind.
But she hadn't given it much thought.
Now that Kim Soo-hyun had pointed it out, she took it seriously.
Who exactly was that person?
Was it really the councilor's son, as Kim Soo-hyun said? And he had taken a liking to her?
"Now go lie on Young Master Zhao's bed!!!"
Kim Soo-hyun said shamelessly, "Go beg for mercy for me!"
"You caused this trouble, you go solve it!"
"Kim Ji-won, go beg Young Master Zhao for me, let him be magnanimous and let me go."
Slap!
A cold slap landed haphazardly on his face.
A heavy blow landed on Kim Soo-hyun's face.
Kim Ji-won cried, "You've disappointed me too much!"
"Kim Soo-hyun! We're breaking up!!!"
Kim Soo-hyun stood stunned, watching Kim Ji-won leave, his face showing no remorse at all.
Instead, it was filled with gloom.
"Won-young... *sob*... I... *sob*..."
Kim Ji-won called Jang Won-young to pour out her heart.
Gangnam District, a cafe somewhere.
"Ji-won... over here!"
As soon as Kim Ji-won entered, she saw Jang Won-young waving from a corner.
Kim Ji-won wiped the tears from her eyes, adjusted her demeanor, and hurried over.
The two sat on chairs.
Kim Ji-won gulped down the iced Americano Jang Won-young had ordered for her, her mouth filled with bitterness.
It was as if the bitterness of the iced Americano could mask her sadness.
Jang Won-young watched silently, not knowing what to say, and just sipped her juice.
A toast!
"So bitter!"
Kim Ji-won frowned, feeling that this iced Americano was more bitter than any she had ever tasted before.
It was probably due to her emotions.
"Did Kim Soo-hyun bully you?"
Jang Won-young said, "I told you early on, Kim Soo-hyun doesn't look like a good person."
"He's also secretly ambiguous and entangled with many female Idols. I really don't know why you'd fall for someone like that."
As far as Jang Won-young knew, this Kim Soo-hyun was not honest, secretly having ambiguous relationships with young female actors.
That young female actress also seemed to be surnamed Kim?
"Nai, let's not talk about that scumbag Kim Soo-hyun. I've already broken up with him!"
"Really?"
Jang Won-young exclaimed excitedly, "That's absolutely wonderful!"
"For this good news, let's have a drink!"
"Cheers!"
Jang Won-young said, "You finally saw through the true colors of that scumbag Kim Soo-hyun."
"I'm truly happy for you!"
"Another toast!"
*sob*... Kim Ji-won whimpered, "What should I do, Won-young?"
"That bastard Kim Soo-hyun actually wants to send me to another man's bed!"
"Axi!"
Jang Won-young cursed, "That son of a bitch, he wouldn't dare!"
Kim Ji-won tearfully recounted the entire story to Jang Won-young.
Including the matter of Young Master Zhao targeting her.
She told Jang Won-young everything in detail.
Jang Won-young also realized the seriousness of the problem, the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry that no one can escape.
Regardless of gender.
Unless you find a big backer who can suppress the monsters and demons of the entertainment industry.
This big backer could be a family background, or a sugar daddy behind the scenes.
Or else...
The rest is either to succumb or to make a heroic sacrifice.
Jang Won-young recalled the days when Jin Seong-jun bothered her, and she deeply understood and empathized with Kim Ji-won's current feelings.
Panic? Unease? Sadness... all sorts of complex emotions intertwined.
Jang Won-young asked, "What are your plans?"
Kim Ji-won said, "I want to meet this Young Master Zhao."
"After all, he did help me a lot. I think he should be a good person."
"Meet him? A good person?"
Jang Won-young was speechless. This Kim Ji-won seemed to have a bit of 'clear stupidity.'
According to Kim Ji-won's description, this councilor's son was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
At the very least, he was definitely not a good person.
He merely wanted to play some games.
To put on a show of a hero saving the beauty.
To put it bluntly, he coveted Kim Ji-won's body and wanted to eat a sweet melon, wanting Kim Ji-won to willingly offer herself.
Men are all no good!
Jang Won-young cursed silently. A certain someone hadn't contacted her since Piaoliang Guo.
These big shots are nothing more than getting what they want, getting tired of it, and then throwing it aside.
Jang Won-young advised, "No!"
"Isn't that walking into the tiger's den?"
"I can't let you do something so foolish."
"Then what should I do?"
Kim Ji-won retorted, "What's coming will always come. I can't escape it."
"You can run for a while, but not forever. You always have to face it."
Kim Ji-won was also helpless. Encountering such a situation, she only felt somewhat helpless.
Since her debut, everything had gone smoothly.
It gave her the illusion that she was truly the queen of the entertainment industry.
But!
All these illusions were given by one man!
Behind destiny, the corresponding price had long been marked.
Kim Ji-won, everything you've gained isn't love without reason; it's by using your body as a bargaining chip.
Jang Won-young was at a loss for words, but insisted, "If you really want to meet this so-called Young Master Zhao."
"I'll go with you!"
"At least there'll be someone to look out for you!"
Jang Won-young thought to herself, if Kim Ji-won went alone, and if that Young Master Zhao was a beast in human clothing...
Kim Ji-won would be finished.
That's why Jang Won-young wanted to go together.
This way, perhaps others would have some scruples.
She had also represented the celebrity community and attended the Federal Conference, so she still had some face.
If all else failed, she would just have to ask a certain someone for help.
Kim Ji-won was her good friend; she couldn't just stand by and do nothing!
Kim Ji-won looked at Jang Won-young gratefully: "Aniyo!"
"I'll just go by myself."
"I can't drag others down."
"What are you talking about!" Jang Won-young retorted.
"If we go, we go together!"
"Otherwise, neither of us goes!"
Under Jang Won-young's persistence, Kim Ji-won finally agreed to her request.
The two discussed strategies for meeting Young Master Zhao.
The best possible outcome was for Kim Ji-won to be able to repay Young Master Zhao with money or something.
At worst, she might be blacklisted from the entertainment industry, but she could always quit and sell pancakes later.
Jang Won-young just felt that Kim Ji-won's ideas were a bit naive.
In the eyes of these people.
They are just actors.
Even worse than ordinary people.
Want to repay with money?
Does he lack your meager offerings?
Young Master Zhao was after your body from the start; how could he give up for a little money?
And then there's selling pancakes.
Leaving aside whether it's feasible.
Even selling pancakes requires someone to protect you.
Is there a difference between the entertainment industry and selling pancakes?
One might be a bit cleaner, relying on physical labor and skill for a living.
The other is purely based on looks.
Looks reign supreme.
Kim Ji-won was born with a face that could bring down nations, destined for a life that would not be as calm as an ordinary person's.
Shooting range.
"My goodness, Section Chief Li, your pistol shooting is truly earth-shattering and ghost-wailing."
Cao Wenxi clicked his tongue. How in the world could a bullet curve?
As Lee Se-hyun showed off various Gun-Fu Techniques, Chief Yu was stunned and numb.
He really suspected that Lee Se-hyun was an alien.
Disguised as an Earthling.
Completely grinding Newton's brain into the ground repeatedly.
Chief Yu could only sigh, perhaps this was talent. From ancient times to the present, there have been many capable and extraordinary individuals.
Xu Fu, who refined elixirs, Poison, who spun wheels, Dalang, who sold pancakes, and Boss Cao, who liked other men's wives.
Peng Zu, who understood the art of the bedroom.
Bullets curving was not unacceptable. Chief Yu thought of this and decided to make a decision that went against his ancestors.
He silently unloaded his sidearm, preparing to give it to Lee Se-hyun.
Chief Yu said, "Section Chief Li, as the ancients said, 'A good horse deserves a good saddle, and a treasured sword is given to a hero.'"
"This pistol is my sidearm of many years, called the 'Gun of Kindness.' I'm giving it to you as a first-meeting gift."
Gun of Kindness?
Lee Se-hyun quickly declined, "No, no, Chief Yu, this is a treasure. How can I take what you cherish so much?"
"Besides, I'm not with the Police Station, so I can't carry firearms freely."
"Hey, guess why it's called the Gun of Kindness?"
Chief Yu played coy, "Actually, this gun is a model gun that is 99% realistic."
"Model gun?!" Cao Wenxi exclaimed, "This is too realistic! It looks more real than a real gun!"
Li Kui like Li Gui, father like son, a complete reversal of roles.
"Exactly!"
Chief Yu handed the Gun of Kindness to Lee Se-hyun, saying, "Since it's not a real gun, the law naturally can't touch you."
"In a crisis, it might even save your life."
Lee Se-hyun took the Gun of Kindness and thanked him, "Thank you for your kindness, Chief Yu!"
"I really like this gift, the Gun of Kindness?"
"As its name suggests, Chief Yu must also be a kind and righteous person."
"May I ask presumptuously, Chief Yu, do you know the Fatal Scissor Kick?"
