Above the black sea in the deep dawn.
There is a fishing boat that is operating without lights in the darkness that can not be seen in front of the nose.
Any ship operating at such a late hour must have a bad spot somewhere. In fact, the fishing boat departing from Weihai was loaded with contraband goods.
Among the counterfeit luxury goods, cigarettes, drugs, and dogs, there were rare animals that were prohibited from being imported, and the man squatting next to the cage also fell into the category of contraband.
“Oops… … Whoops!”
Baek Seung-tae looked like he was about to vomit at any moment.
I was already sick with seasickness, but the smell of rotten fish and the smell of animals added to it made me feel like I was going crazy.
Still, he held on tight and persevered. When I think of the hardships I’ve been through so far, I thought that this was nothing.
‘Let’s be patient a little longer. I can go to Korea soon.’
Baek Seung-tae’s behavior was completely beggar-like.
From Shenzhen in China to Weihai, it would be even more strange if it was fine since it had traveled a distance of 2,000 km.
Of course, if I had taken a normal plane or train, I wouldn’t have suffered this much. But even the public security was chasing him, so there weren’t many options for transportation.
Sigh.
A fishing boat wandering the West Sea was anchored in an old fishing village.
Sailors are busy carrying contraband as soon as the ship stops.
“Move quickly!”
In the meantime, no one paid attention to Baek Seung-tae. I even felt like I was really a burden.
As I was about to get off the ship, the captain approached me.
“You wait here for a moment.”
“Didn’t you arrive in Korea?”
“That’s right, but there is a procedure, so please wait.”
Is there a procedure for stowaway? what kind of bullsh*t is this
No matter how much he thought about it, Baek Seung-tae thought it was strange, so he watched the captain’s movements.
He didn’t go anywhere else, and continued to hang around the entrance of the ship, as if he was preventing himself from escaping.
Baek Seung-tae strides toward the exit of the ship.
“I can’t stay here because of motion sickness. Let’s get off at once.”
“It’s because you wait a little bit.”
“Were you waiting for them?”
While the captain looked away for a moment, Baek Seung-tae took out a spray from his bosom.
Chii profit!
The spray hit the opponent’s eyes. This was not a regular self-defense spray, but a bear spray used to subdue wild bears.
“Quaaagh! What is it, Mr. X!”
I was worried because I bought it from a fake market, but fortunately the effect was clear.
“Tongue, bro?”
As the captain’s scream erupts, the men who were carrying the luggage rush towards us.
Baek Seung-tae did not confront them and kicked the floundering captain and threw him into the sea.
“What are you doing! Hurry up and save my brother!”
If the captain waits for someone, it must be a thug sent by Park Min-gyo.
We had to get out of here as quickly as possible.
I went out to the side of the road and there was a taxi coming this way. Baek Seung-tae blows himself up and stops the taxi.
“Please go to Pyeongtaek quickly. I’ll double the price.”
It was dangerous to go home now, but I had no choice. It was because I had to bring the money hidden in the house to do anything later.
profit.
Under the magic spell of doubling the fare, the taxi covered the distance that would normally take more than two hours in 40 minutes.
Even considering it was early morning, it was too fast.
Baek Seung-tae throws 300,000 won for a taxi and runs straight into the apartment complex.
“omg… … omg… … rot.”
I ran with all my might. I felt like I was going to vomit because I was out of breath, but I ran and ran.
Before Park Min-gyo sent someone, he had to come out with money first.
However, despite his efforts, the condition of the house he arrived at was not perfect.
“No, this… … why?”
The whole floor of the apartment was burnt down and sooty.
And in an apartment complex with thousands of households, only the 4th floor where his house was was burned down.
“Park Min-kyo, you son of a b*tch.”
* * *
Baek Seung-tae, who lost contact in China, returned to Korea.
It also came in this morning.
I’ve been waiting for his arrival more than anyone else, but it wasn’t news that I liked. If we knew that he had entered the country, we had to assume that the information had gone into Park Min-gyo’s ears as well.
“What happened to Baek Seung-tae? Have you ever been caught?”
“It is difficult for us to grasp detailed information because we are not the target of tracking. However, looking at the active movements of Park Min-gyo, we can assume that he was not caught.”
A reflexive sigh of relief came out.
As long as Baek Seung-tae is roaming around Korea, all of Min-gyo Park’s aggro toward WHTS Company will be driven to Seung-tae Baek.
‘Baek Seung-tae won’t last long. I have to do something before that.’
The standard response here is to gently dry Park Min-gyo to death while helping Baek Seung-tae escape.
But, how can you help someone you don’t even know how to contact? And if I needed my help, Baek Seung-tae would have contacted me first.
‘The fact that I haven’t contacted you yet means Baek Seung-tae is suspicious of me.’
Seok-hoon, sitting across from me, cautiously asks me a question, as if I had been thinking about it for quite some time.
“What would you like to do? Shall we trace Baek Seung-tae’s location?”
“Can you find it right away if you track it?”
“It is difficult for us to find out first. So, it is best to wait for an opportunity while eavesdropping on Park Min-gyo’s phone call.”
It is a very passive operation. There was no guarantee that we would secure Baek Seung-tae’s recruit first.
To beat your opponent, you had to move before your opponent. So, if only we could go to a place where Baek Seung-tae could go first… … .
‘Where would Baek Seung-tae go? The house has become like that, so it won’t be. A relative’s house with a family? Or on the side of the family home in the countryside?’
If I were Baek Seung-tae, I would never go to places where my family or acquaintances are. It was obvious that the thugs sent by Park Min-gyo would follow.
If so, there was only one place he could go at this point.
“Seokhun, how many people can you gather if you use people right now?”
“If we bring in external services, we can easily mobilize 2,300 people.”
“I don’t need a service that only requires strength, I need a specialist in this field like Mr. Seok Hoon.”
Seokhun had a puzzled look on his face, but he gave the answer he wanted without muttering, perhaps because I strongly insisted.
“There are about seven fixers without a schedule.”
“great. I will make a contract with all seven of you. Everyone, please monitor Park Min-gyo and Baek Seung-tae’s movements at all costs.”
his eyes go wide The solver was a personal contract like the mercenary, so if you signed a contract for 7 more people, you had to pay 7 more people.
I know this is an overreaction, but now was not the time to argue about it.
‘If I miss this opportunity, the only thing left for me is an extreme card.’
An extreme card means that I personally take care of Min-gyo Park.
If the worst was to be avoided, all available resources had to be used, no matter how much money it cost.
* * *
“What! You missed it?”
Park Min-gyo’s voice resonates throughout the warehouse.
The members of the Beomsu faction, lined up in rows in front of him, bow their heads as if they had no face.
“These stupid things! Things like these rice bugs! Do you think I’m paying your organization to do this?”
Park Min-gyo kicks and knocks the skinhead man who was standing in the front row.
Surprised, the gang members around him tried to support him, but the skinhead refused to help and went forward again.
“This may sound like an excuse to the managing director, but when we arrived, the target had already run away.”
“so? Are you saying that I informed you late?”
“I was just giving you the exact situation.”
Min-gyo Park said with a snort, ‘Hey!’
“Oh, did you? If you report that you ran away, is it just over? right?”
“… … .”
“Hey. Is bullying a kid’s game these days? You can just say that you ran away. In my time, if I said that, my tongue would have been pulled out.”
Park Min-gyo continued to riot by kicking things around him and swearing.
From noble mtl dot com
After about five minutes of doing that, I leaned against the wall, probably tired of myself, and took out a cigarette from my pocket.
“after… … .”
Park Min-gyo had a cigarette in his mouth, and only then did he feel that his head, which was on the verge of going crazy, calmed down a little.
He took three deep puffs in succession and then opened his mouth.
“Is it being located now?”
“It was confirmed that he stopped by his house in Pyeongtaek, but his whereabouts after that have not been identified.”
“You are sick. It’s not even China, is it that hard to catch a person from the narrow land mass of Korea?”
“Give me a little more time. I’ll be sure to catch it.”
“I can’t give you that time, so I’m not doing this sh*t right now! You stuffy bastards!”
Baek Seung-tae knew too many of Park Min-gyo’s secrets. I didn’t know what kind of aftershock would come if he came to Korea and even talked about it.
‘Now is not the time to admit it. We need to catch it ASAP. Even if I use a somewhat radical method.’
Making up her mind, Park Min-gyo takes a last deep breath in her half-burnt cigarette and throws it on the floor.
“Didn’t you say Baek Seung-tae’s wife and child were at a relative’s house in Daegu?”
“That’s right.”
“Catch it right now. Wife, children, relatives, anyone is fine, as long as he knows Baek Seung-tae.”
It was a simple ignorance, but it was also a way to get results quickly and surely.
If you put everything in one place and try to do it, someone would blow the place where Baek Seung-tae was, or Baek Seung-tae would have no choice but to contact you first.
“All right.”
Beomsupa also knew the weight of this work, so they accepted the order without saying anything.
Inside the warehouse, which has become quiet after the members of the organization have escaped.
Park Min-gyo, who is left alone, lights a cigarette again and smokes it until the end.
“Sweet, they say that this year is Samjae, but nothing really happens.”
While members of the Beomsu faction chased Baek Seung-tae and brought back his family, Park Min-gyo had something else to do.
He gets on the refrigerated truck prepared in advance.
hairy hairy hairy.
The engine made a strange noise, and the seats vibrated with a rotten smell.
But now was not the time to judge whether it was good or bad.
“hurry. hurry.”
Park Min-gyo drove to the outskirts of Gyeonggi-do.
In the villa there, cash, gold ingots, jewels, and artworks prepared by laundering the money Park Min-gyo had embezzled were hidden.
‘Baek Seung-tae, who has been on my errands many times, might have noticed something in the villa.’
Of course, the security system was doubled and tripled, but the uneasiness of not knowing made him head towards the villa.
I was thinking of putting it in the car until Baek Seung-tae was caught.
Normally, Park Min-gyo’s behavior would not have been a bad decision, but it was something he should never do now.
This is because no one was already watching his every move.
