"Thank you, Auntie Park. Goodbye, Auntie Park." The customer was a little girl. She thanked her politely, then put her golden retriever into the cage and left with the cage.
Dongdaemun Pet Street has reopened to the public after renovation. Business at the Xinyi Pet Shop run by Park Min-jeong has become even better, attracting many students from Seoul to check in.
Dongdaemun Xinyi Pet Store has opened an official store on inschool, where you can see the status of each pet in the store. The inschool website also displays the address of Xinyi Pet Store. When inschool users click on the address, they will be redirected to the Xinya map, which will also show you the transportation route to the store.
In addition, as Park Min-jeong's fame has been growing, this Xinyi pet shop has almost become an Internet celebrity pet shop.
Many celebrity fans said that they had met many of Shinya's contracted artists in this store, including Kim Tae-hee, Moon Geun-young, Jun Ji-hyun, Son Ye-jin, Ko Hyun-jung, Baek Ji-young, etc., so many fans also wanted to come and meet them by chance.
Baek Ji-young is the most popular female singer this year. Her new song "Like Being Shot" with Bang Si-hyuk swept all major music charts as soon as it was released. Korean fans can feel Baek Ji-young's painful feelings from the song, and then they criticized the scumbag ex-boyfriend Kim Si-won who betrayed Baek Ji-young. Kim Si-won's family was also found out by angry netizens, forcing them to move.
South Korean police have issued a warrant for Kim Si-won's arrest, demanding his extradition from the United States. As soon as Kim Si-won returns to Seoul, he will face a huge mental compensation from the Seoul Central District Court, an astronomical figure that he cannot afford even if he loses everything he has.
Park Min-jung also heard Baek Ji-young's story, and as a woman, she sympathized with Baek Ji-young's experience. When Baek Ji-young first came to Xinyi Pet Store to choose a pet, she wore a mask and sunglasses, covering herself tightly for fear that passers-by would recognize her and point fingers at her.
She advised Baek Ji-young not to punish herself with other people's mistakes, and not to be afraid of the eyes of outsiders. From another perspective, life is only a few decades long, and everyone will die. If you think about this, you won't care about the outside world's pointing and criticizing eyes. Those verbal attacks that can't defeat you will only make you stronger.
Perhaps it was Park Min-jung's encouragement that inspired Baek Ji-young to create the hit song "Like Being Shot" with Bang Si-hyuk. Baek Ji-young even mentioned Park Min-jung and expressed her gratitude to her when she participated in the SBS interview variety show "Night Heart".
"Night Heart" is an interview program launched by SBS TV on February 28, 2003. The MCs are Kim Je-dong, Yoon Jong-shin and Sung Yu-ri. The program will invite popular singers or groups to participate in the program, and there is also a singing segment in the program. Sung Yu-ri now has two ace variety shows, "X-Man" and "Night Heart", and is considered the most popular female MC in Korea. When Park Min-jeong thinks of Baek Ji-young, she thinks of Kim Tae-hee. If Kim Tae-hee hadn't brought Song Yi to the pet street to buy the Maltese dog Black, their couple's lives would not have changed so much. They have a brand new storefront with a better location, a pickup truck, and met so many young friends.
The reason why she is willing to continue running the pet shop business is to deal with these young students. She can see the shadow of her son Kim Tae-yong in them, which makes her old age life less boring.
Seeing that today's business peak period had passed and that her husband could handle the rest of the time alone, Park Min-jeong picked up the car keys and prepared to go out.
"Old man, I'm going to Seoul University. Today is a good day for Kim Tae-hee's graduation ceremony. She invited me a long time ago, and I'm going to see her now." Park Min-jeong said.
Lao Jin looked at the time and said, "The graduation ceremony should be over by now. Don't let Taixi and the others go home by the time you get there."
Park Min-jeong knew what was going on. "It's okay. Tae-hee told me that after the graduation ceremony, she will hold a THK brand fashion show in the school auditorium, with students from Seoul National University as guest models. This event will not end so soon. You forgot that the last time Tae-hee came to the store, she said she would give us two sets of THK hanbok."
Lao Jin also remembered, "Okay, you go first, I'll watch over the store. By the way, if Taixi really gives us clothes, we must not accept them. She has helped us too much, we should be content."
Park Min-jeong smiled. Old Jin was a simple and kind person, except that he was a little timid. This was also the reason why they had been able to depend on each other for so many years after losing their only son.
When their only son, Kim Tae-yong, was released from prison, he died of various diseases, leaving Park Min-jeong and his wife with the pain of losing their loved one. Because Park Min-jeong had lost her fertility at the time, Park Min-jeong proposed a divorce and asked her husband to remarry and have another child.
As a result, this proposal was directly rejected by Lao Jin. Lao Jin was also afraid that Park Min-jeong would feel lonely, so he finally opened a pet shop in his hometown of Busan to pass the time. Later, Song Woo-seok served as the defense lawyer for the Busan incident. At Song Woo-seok's suggestion, Park Min-jeong and his wife moved from Busan to Seoul, away from Busan, the sad place.
Park Min-jeong walked to the parking lot outside Dongdaemun Market. Her car was a gray Ssangyong Musso. This two-seater pickup truck can carry people and deliver goods, which is indeed the best choice for a small shop owner like her.
She turned on the car radio, switched through several channels, then switched to a music radio program and started listening to songs.
Gwanak Campus is the main campus of Seoul National University, located in Gwanak District, Seoul, at the foot of Gwanak Mountain, on the south bank of Han River, 16 kilometers from the center of Seoul, and covers an area of 6,450 acres. In Seoul, where every inch of land is valuable, it is not easy to have such a large campus.
Park Min-jeong drove very fast and soon arrived at the gate of Gwanak Campus. The guard at the gate registered every visiting car.
The car in front of her had just passed the barrier when suddenly a Chevrolet Spark cut in front of Park Min-jeong's pickup truck.
Park Min-jeong was very angry. She opened the car window and looked forward to see who was so uncultured. As a result, she saw a young man with an impatient expression put out the Essence cigarette in his mouth and then threw the cigarette butt casually on the side of the road.
She was annoyed. "This young man has no manners! How can a person like him have friends at Seoul University?"
After the Chevrolet passed, it was Park Min-jung's turn to register as a visitor. She showed the guard her driver's license and said, "Park Min-jung, I'm a friend of Kim Tae-hee, and I've been invited to attend her THK fashion show."
The guard looked at Park Min-jeong's driver's license and showed her the way without any doubt. "Go two blocks ahead and turn right. The fashion show will be held in the B1 auditorium. You should be able to make it in time now."
Park Min-jeong took the driving license and thanked the guard. She was moved, "Where is the guy in front going?"
The guard laughed, "What a coincidence, he was also attending the THK brand fashion show. But I didn't tell him the location, so he threw his cigarette butt at the door." The guard and Park Min-jeong laughed knowingly. Seoul is so big, if no one showed the way, the owner of the Chevrolet Spark would have to look for it like a headless fly.
Park Min-jeong thanked him and drove straight to the B1 auditorium. She parked the pickup truck in the parking lot outside the auditorium and walked into the auditorium.
The venue for the fashion show is easy to find, just go where there are many people. The models selected by Kim Tae-hee are all handsome men and beautiful women from Seoul University. The tall models walked the runway in ancient Korean costumes, making people dream back to the Joseon Dynasty.
When Park Min-jung entered the hall, Choi Sun-hee, who was standing next to Song Yi, immediately saw Park Min-jung. She hurried over and said, "Aunt Park, Tae-hee is arranging the order of the models' appearance in the backstage. Please sit down for a while, and I will take you to find Tae-hee later."
Park Min-jeong walked through the crowd and went to the front row of seats in the auditorium. Choi Sun-hee signaled the people next to her to move, and Park Min-jeong sat next to Song Yi.
Song Yi saw Park Min-jeong and greeted her warmly, then introduced her to the THK fashion show. Park Min-jeong was a little embarrassed to sit in the front row, "Why don't I sit in the back? I have good eyesight and can see clearly from the back."
Cui Shanji quickly pulled Park Minzhen and said, "Aunt Park, you are a good friend of our president and Tae Hee, how can I let you sit in the back? If you sit in the back, Tae Hee will not be able to see you when she comes out later."
Park Min-jung suddenly became interested, "Will Tae-hee also walk the runway today? The court dress that Tae-hee wore in "Dae Jang Geum" was dignified and elegant. She must look great in a period costume on the runway."
After Park Min-jeong sat down, Zhou Yuncan, who was sitting on Song Yi's left hand side, asked about Park Min-jeong's identity. Park Min-jeong's clothes looked very ordinary, and he saw that Song Yi treated him with great courtesy, so he thought he was a relative of some important person.
When Zhou Yuncan learned that Park Min-jeong was the owner of a pet shop in Dongdaemun Market, he had no intention of making friends with her. Instead, he complained in his heart that Song Yi was ignorant. Wouldn't it lower his status to let Park Min-jeong sit in the first row? Jin Yuwen, who was sitting behind Song Yi, had heard of Park Min-jeong's name a long time ago. He knew Park Min-jeong in the documentary "Hello, I'm Song Woo-seok". The reason why Song Yi was able to make friends with Song Woo-seok was because of Park Min-jeong's matchmaking. What's more, Park Min-jeong also attended Song Woo-seok's presidential inauguration ceremony as a representative of the Song Love Club last time.
Kim Yu-mun introduced Park Min-jeong to Kim's mother. When Kim's mother learned that Park Min-jeong was Kim Tae-hee's good friend, she immediately pulled Park Min-jeong to chat enthusiastically. Park Min-jeong kept praising Kim's mother for raising an excellent and filial daughter, and Kim's mother was full of smiles.
At this time, the music of the show has been changed to "Hope", the theme song of "Dae Jang Geum". The teachers and students watching the fashion show knew that the next one to appear was Kim Tae Hee. They looked forward to the direction where the models would appear.
At this time, Kim Si-won also entered the B1 auditorium. He got a set of Seoul University bachelor's gown from somewhere. After entering the hall, he looked around for Song Yi.
He knew that he was just a pawn used by the US military in South Korea, but he had no choice. He forced an underage woman to provide him with sexual services in Los Angeles, and after the woman reported it to the police, he lost his place in the United States.
In addition, after he lost all his money in the casino opened by Koreans, he also owed the casino a huge debt. With no other options, Kim Si-won even wanted to surrender himself and go to jail to avoid the spotlight.
As a result, before he could turn himself in, the US intelligence department found him and took him from Los Angeles to the US military base in Saipan. Finally, he entered South Korea directly on a US military plane stationed in South Korea without going through South Korean security checks.
When he agreed to assassinate Song Yi, he found that the assassination plan was actually very thorough. The US intelligence department prepared a Chevrolet Spark, a fake ID card, a fake passport and a fake driving license for him.
When Kim Si-won drove into Seoul National University, his accomplices were waiting for him. They prepared a bachelor's degree uniform and a Type 64 automatic pistol for Kim Si-won. This was the first semi-automatic pistol produced by North Korea. Obviously, some people wanted to implicate North Korea through this assassination.
His contact came to remind Jin Shiyuan: "Remember, although you have received professional shooting training in the base these days, Song Yi is also surrounded by professional bodyguards from the special forces, so you only have one chance to shoot, and you must seek a chance to kill him with one shot."
"South Korea does not have the death penalty now, so after you fire the gun, throw away the gun and choose to surrender. The National Assembly Intelligence Service and Seoul police will be dispatched immediately. Do not seek resistance. Our people will buy you enough time."
"You are a Korean-American and a family member of a US military stationed in South Korea. Even if you are guilty of murder, the US can still extradite you back to your country for trial. You can refer to the Itaewon murder case in 1997 and you will know that we are not lying to you."
Kim Si-won smiled bitterly. The American intelligence department was indeed very thoughtful. In such a short period of time, they even arranged for him to marry a female officer of the US military stationed in South Korea, turning him into a family member of the US military stationed in South Korea.
"If the South Korean police ask you why you wanted to assassinate Song Yi, you should tell the truth. You said that Song Yi had been contacting the Los Angeles police and asked them to cooperate with the South Korean police to arrest you."
"Not only that, Song Yi also tried you in absentia through the Korean court, making you face high compensation, and your property in Korea has been executed."
"You and Baek Ji-young had originally broken up peacefully, but Baek Ji-young refused to renew her contract with you, so you had no choice but to publish your private video with Baek Ji-young on the website. Now New Asia Music has signed Baek Ji-young and is producing an album for her again, which makes you feel like you can't survive in Korea. And according to our reliable intelligence, Song Yi also took advantage of Baek Ji-young many times in the hotel where she stayed, so you shot Song Yi for personal grudges, remember?" Jin Shiyuan felt that the contact person in front of him seemed to be from the intelligence department. Perhaps South Korea's powerful departments also participated in planning this murder.
"I remember it." Jin Shiyuan did have a deep hatred for Song Yi.
The reason why Kim Si Won hated Song Yi was also because of Baek Ji Young. In Kim Si Won's opinion, Baek Ji Young was a woman who had no gratitude at all.
Without his support, how could Baek Ji-young become a famous singer? As a result, this stinky woman looked down on him after she became a little famous, and was ready to leave him and go solo to join another entertainment agency.
Kim Si-won regards Baek Ji-young as his private property and forbidden fruit. If Baek Ji-young leaves him, his career in Korea will instantly fall to the bottom. Kim Si-won, who is desperate, has the idea that if he can't get Baek Ji-young, he must destroy Baek Ji-young, so he sells the private videos of Baek Ji-young and him on the website for profit.
After getting the money, he fled to the United States and lived a life of drunkenness and debauchery in Los Angeles every day. He was eager to see Baek Ji-young's constant fear, which gave him a sense of revenge.
As a result, Song Yi intervened and signed Baek Ji-young. With the backing of the New Asia Media Real Estate Group, Korean entertainment media did not dare to spread gossip about Baek Ji-young, so the scandal of secretly filming was quickly over.
Not only that, Song Yi also spent a lot of money to invite many well-known musicians such as Bang Si Hyuk, JYP, Yoo Young Jin, Yoon Jong Shin, etc. to produce a new album for Baek Ji Young.
For a time, Baek Ji-young's reputation in Korea was reversed instantly, and he became a rat crossing the street, and everyone wanted to beat him. Kim Si-won did not reflect on his mistakes, but instead blamed Song Yi for the current predicament. So after some people's instigation, he wanted to teach Song Yi a profound lesson.
Why did you, Song Yi, create such a big career at such a young age? Why did I hide in the United States while you were in Korea, sleeping with all kinds of beauties including Jun Ji-hyun, Song Hye-kyo, Son Ye-jin, and Ko Hyun-jung? When he knew that Song Yi had dated Baek Ji-young many times in the hotel, his jealousy reached its peak. Of course, he knew that Baek Ji-young was a stunner in bed.
Kim Tae-hee finally appeared, wearing a red queen costume, a golden crown on her head, and a solemn expression, giving people a sense of sacredness that is inviolable. Her current look is closer to the Queen of Joseon than the image of Ko Hyun-jung in "Jewel in the Palace".
Her appearance also caused a wave of noise in the afternoon fashion show, and students from Seoul National University stood up one after another, wanting to witness Kim Tae-hee's style.
Jin Shiyuan had no intention of watching the fashion show on the stage. He walked quickly forward from the aisle at the side of the hall to the front row of seats. He knew that a big shot like Song Yi would definitely sit in the center of the front row.
The students at Seoul National University thought Kim Si Won wanted to be closer to the show, so they made way for him.
Zhou Yuncan was a little unhappy when he saw Jin Shiyuan rushing to the front. What college is this student from? How could he be so rude? There is no seat for you in the first row, so what's the point of squeezing to the front?
Park Tae-sik, who was standing in the corner of the stage, felt something was wrong. He walked quickly towards Kim Si-won, ready to take the student away.
Kim Si-won noticed Park Tae-sik's movements and felt a little anxious. At this time, Kim Tae-hee noticed Park Min-jeong in the audience and smiled. After the show, she came to the edge of the stage, squatted at the edge of the stage, waiting for Park Min-jeong to hug her.
Because Park Min-jeong stood up, she blocked Park Tae-sik's view. Park Tae-sik was a little anxious and jumped onto the stage, ready to control Kim Si-won.
Zhou Yuncan stood up and tried to stop Jin Shiyuan, but Jin Shiyuan pushed Zhou Yuncan away. Jin Shiyuan took out a pistol from under his bachelor's gown and prepared to shoot.
Cha Tae-sik realized something was wrong and shouted, "Get down!"
Kim Tae-hee and Park Min-jeong at the edge of the stage also noticed the black muzzle of Kim Si-won's gun. Kim Tae-hee was frightened and didn't know what to do.
After hearing Park Tae-sik's "get down", Song Yi immediately used Zhou Yuncan's cover to jump to the back row of seats and fell directly to the ground in the second row of seats.
Mother Jin finally realized that someone was trying to assassinate Song Yi. She stood up anxiously and said to Taixi, "Taixi, run!"
Kim Si Won lost Song Yi's figure all of a sudden and was very angry. When he heard the word Tae Hee, he pointed the gun at Kim Tae Hee on the stage. Because Kim Tae Hee was wearing a heavy queen's dress, she subconsciously wanted to escape, but she was tripped by the stage.
Park Min-jeong noticed Kim Si-won's actions and found that Tae-hee was in danger. She didn't know where she got the courage from, but she rushed directly to Kim Si-won and tried to snatch the pistol from Kim Si-won's hand.
Kim Si-won opened fire, and with two gunshots, Park Min-jeong fell in a pool of blood. Because of the gunshots, the students of Seoul National University at the scene were in chaos, and they scattered like birds and clouds, preparing to run away.
Park Tae-sik flew over and kicked away Kim Si-won's pistol, making him unable to attack. Song Yi was very annoyed, "Tae-sik, remember to keep him alive--"
Before Song Yi finished speaking, a figure appeared behind the door where the stage models came out. He was wearing a mask and raised his hand to shoot, killing Jin Shiyuan directly. He didn't find Song Yi's hiding figure, which was a pity. If there was a bomb, Song Yi could be sent to the sky. However, the shooting incident in Seoul University was already very bad. If a grenade appeared in the Seoul Auditorium, he would probably not be able to escape.
Park Tae-sik pulled out his Colt 45, but the killer was too quick for him to fire back. They were clearly trying to silence Kim Si-won, so when Kim Si-won's assassination attempt failed, they shot him dead and ran away.
At this time, Song Yi's bodyguard team all came in, and then searched the B1 auditorium one by one to confirm the safety of the B1 auditorium.
By this time, Kim Tae-hee had recovered. She sadly hugged Park Min-jeong who was lying in a pool of blood, and looked at Song Yi with hope.
Park Tae-sik looked at Park Min-jeong's injuries and shook his head. It was obvious that Kim Si-won had hit Park Min-jeong's vital point, and even if she was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, there was no way to save her.
Park Min-jeong tried to wipe away Kim Tae-hee's tears. She was obviously holding on to her last breath. Kim Tae-hee was sobbing. If Park Min-jeong had not tried to save her, she would not have been attacked by the murderer.
Kim Yu-moon, Kim's mother, and Kim Hyun-soo all gathered around. Kim's mother saw what Park Min-jeong did and was filled with gratitude to her daughter's savior.
Zhou Yuncan got up from the ground in a panic. He broke out in a cold sweat when he thought about how he had just been knocked to the ground by a gunman. He felt that he had really saved his life.
"Hurry up and send the injured to the hospital. Seoul National University Medical School can perform surgery on Ms. Park." Zhou Yuncan reminded.
Park Min-jeong knows her situation. She is an old woman in her sixties and death does not scare her. She can be reunited with her son Tae-yong in another world. She just has some unfulfilled wishes, so she is holding on.
Song Yi walked up to Park Min-jeong and held her hand. "Aunt Park, don't worry. I will make sure Quan Zhanfa receives the punishment he deserves."
When Zhou Yuncan heard what Song Yi said, he felt secretly bitter. Song Yi, by saying this, you are breaking off relations with Quan Zhanfa. He now deeply regretted coming to participate in THK's clothing brand show. Not only did he almost lose his life, but he also heard a secret of Song Yi.
At this time, the medical staff also came. They gave Park Min-jeong a simple bandage and then carried her to a stretcher. Kim Tae-hee was worried and stayed with Park Min-jeong.
Song Yi said to Kim Tae Hee, "You go to the hospital first. I'll take care of the aftermath here and come back later."
Park Min-jeong's face became worse and worse, and she looked at Kim Tae-hee, who was crying like rain. "Tae-hee, I'm old now, and I've made a profit by exchanging one life for another. But I can't come to attend your wedding with Song Yi, which is really a pity."
Not long after, South Korea's National Intelligence Service and Seoul police arrived at the B1 auditorium. The National Intelligence Service was led by Director Kim Sung-guk himself. Such a serious shooting incident occurred in Seoul University, and the target of the assassination was Song Woo-seok's confidant Song Yi. Kim Sung-guk rushed over as soon as he heard the news.
At this time, the identity of the murderer was quickly confirmed. The agents of the National Intelligence Service reported the situation to Song Yi and Jin Chengguo, "The criminal is Kim Si-won, 30 years old this year. The weapon he held was a North Korean Type 64 semi-automatic pistol. The documents on him were all forged. There was a Chevrolet Spark outside the auditorium that he drove. There was also a suicide note from Kim Si-won in the cab."
Song Yi laughed, "You don't need to show me the suicide note. I can guess the contents without reading it. It's nothing more than a personal grudge against me, Song Yi, so he shot me in retaliation. Look, in order to assassinate me, he even used a Type 64 pistol to throw dirty water on North Korea. There must be a master behind this Kim Si Won."
Jin Chengguo could understand Song Yi's anger. In South Korea, a country with a gun-banning policy, there were criminals who were prepared to shoot him and almost hurt Song Yi's most beloved woman. He certainly had enough reasons to be angry.
"Don't worry, Chairman Song, we will investigate it thoroughly and give you an explanation. The president is also very concerned about this case, and he will go to the hospital to visit the injured Ms. Park Min-jeong later." Jin Chengguo knew that Park Min-jeong was also a long-time friend of Song Woo-seok.
Park Tae-sik looked guilty at this time, "This is my fault. If I had noticed something was wrong with Kim Si-won earlier, Ms. Park Min-jeong would not have been attacked."
Song Yi was annoyed. "Now that everyone is dead, what's the point of saying all this? I was planning to keep Jin Shiyuan alive to interrogate him about the mastermind behind the scenes, but he was silenced in front of me again!"
"Is Kim Si-won crazy? Even if he is extradited back to South Korea, he will only be in jail for three or four years. Would he be so crazy as to assassinate me?"
"South Korea is such a small country, and there are only a few groups of people who can hide the truth and send Kim Si Won to Seoul without anyone knowing. If I, Song Yi, died today, I really wouldn't be able to do anything to you. But luckily, I have a strong life. I won't agree to sending out a few scapegoats to deal with me at this time!" Song Yi's words were sonorous and powerful, and Jin Chengguo heard the murderous intent in Song Yi's voice.
I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a happy family reunion!
