Episode 132. Confessing
[Bombing on the Champs Elysees in Paris, France. A large-scale secret space is discovered underground at the site, and an investigation is underway at the French government level… … .]
[The lair of a secret organization operating within France? About a large-scale secret space with a state-of-the-art system… … .]
The international news was abuzz with the news of the secret space discovered by the explosion every day.
It was a big surprise because Paris itself was an area with many buildings built a long time ago.
Meanwhile, late at night, Kang-su entered Korea through the airport.
It was past 10:00 PM, and as soon as I entered the arrivals hall, the fixed tax was waiting for me.
“The representative will bring you right away.”
It was because he talked to Jin Soo-hyuk on the phone before boarding the plane that was passing through.
Of course, he didn’t say where he was starting from. I only told them the time of arrival, and they ordered me to bring them with a flat rate.
“… All right.”
Kang-soo tried to ride in the passenger seat of the car with him.
“Please ride in the back seat.”
“Do you really mean it?”
“please.”
It was a very polite request tone. It was an unusual atmosphere.
In response, Kang-soo closed the passenger-side door and climbed into the back seat.
The car departed from Incheon International Airport. And it took about an hour and a half to get to JIN Entertainment.
I went straight to the CEO’s office and saw Jin Soo-hyeok sitting quietly.
“It’s been a week… He said he would explain it right away, but he made me wait for a really long time.”
Seven days had passed since the party had taken place at Robben Tower.
After busily traveling around Hong Kong and Paris, it had already passed that way.
“… I had some business.”
“Can you explain what’s going on?”
“That will be difficult.”
There was not the slightest hesitation. As I went through the French work this time, I was more able to guess the size of Bluton Reform.
It was because I felt more dangerous if others found out.
“… Whoa—what are you really doing? Then you said you’d talk about that girl at the party. Would that be possible?”
Jin Soo-hyeok invited Kang-su to take a seat and sat down in the middle seat.
He was so mentally exhausted.
At this, Kang-soo also sat down and hesitated for a while before opening his mouth.
“As I said before, my name is Jennifer Han and my Korean name is Jinhee Han. I also got to know her by accident, and she looked so much like my mother that I was looking for her separately.”
Jin Soo-hyuk also acknowledged his appearance.
It was a face I had longed for over and over in my head for decades, so it was impossible not to recognize it even if it changed with the passing of time.
“What did you find out?”
“When I first found out, she was the New York branch manager of an investment firm called Infectus Investments. Then I heard that it was transferred to the Korean branch, and I even knew that the company was related to Woo-jun.”
The moment Woo Joon-jun’s name came out, Jin Soo-hyeok’s face hardened.
It was a very sensitive name.
“Were you investing in that company? one… I don’t think there was anything about him during the process of organizing Seon-jun’s property.”
“A large amount of money was transferred to a borrowed-name account.”
“Do you have a borrowed-name account under the name of investment in a place called Infectus Investment? What nonsense is that… … .”
Jin Soo-hyuk also knew the name Infectus Investment.
It’s a fairly famous place, but it was obvious that it would be a big problem if the investment was operated with a borrowed-name account.
It was strange that no one knew about it outside.
“On the surface, it is an investment company. In reality, we also confirmed that Min Hwan-shik was assigned to Woo Joon-jun.”
“Mi, Min Hwan-sik—?”
Externally, he was behind the terrifying incident that the people of the Jinyeon Group experienced.
Hearing that name, Jin Soo-hyeok was more surprised than when he heard Woo Joon-jun’s name.
“It is a dangerous place. Jennifer Han also judged that it was related to such a place, so I couldn’t tell you in advance.”
It also meant that I was worried.
Jin Soo-hyeok couldn’t argue more than the first time whether he had a glimpse of such a heart.
Soon, the atmosphere became quiet for a while, and then a counter-question was thrown.
“How could you do such a thing… . I heard about UBT from General Manager Kim Cheol-ho… That wasn’t all.”
The river was quiet. Of course, I had assumed that General Manager Kim Cheol-ho would have told Jin Soo-hyeok about the military affairs. The trust between the two seemed deep enough to allow that much talk.
“There may have been some circumstances—”
“What the hell! I’m your baby! I haven’t known you for over 30 years, but he’s your father! Why should I not know what and to what extent!”
Despite Jin Soo-hyeok’s angry voice, Kang-soo sat there without any reaction.
Only a deep sigh came out of Jin Soo-hyuk’s mouth at such a sight. He tucked his lips in, moistened them, and spoke again.
“Of course, it is not without my fault. I had to find it somehow. You shouldn’t have left your mother alone. I understand that you resent me. but… … .”
What words should I continue? Jin Soo-hyeok, speechless for a moment, regretted the years he had lived for the first time.
“now… … .”
Kangsu began to speak quietly. As a result, Jin Soo-hyuk’s head, which had fallen to the floor, lifted.
“I do not resent the CEO. I don’t know how much she was thinking of my mother, but I understood a little bit.”
“then-“
“But it is a different matter from me entering the Jin family. And I still have a lot of work to do.”
“What the hell is going on? Could it be that it has something to do with you going abroad and coming back?”
Until then, it was ambiguous to deny it with lies.
“Similar.”
“… It’s dangerous. Could it be that it also had a relationship with a woman named Jennifer Han… You seem right.”
Unless you’re an idiot, the story I just told you was enough to make the connection.
Of course, the precipitation was also expected and told up to that point. I thought that was enough to raise awareness.
“The woman. Do you know what the relationship between a woman named Jennifer Han and your mother is?”
It was the most important story for Jin Soo-hyeok now. It was because he still remembered the image of him wearing the same face as the woman he loved, exuding a sharp coldness instead of warmth.
“I don’t even know that far. If I find out, I will definitely tell you.”
To find out about it, I had no choice but to ask the person concerned, or search the Blueton Reform Research Center.
Of course, neither party could have known.
Then there is only one way… … .
Kang-su had to go to the end for the truth and revenge.
“Whoa— is there anything I can help with? If anything, tell your grandfather—”
“That will never happen.”
Jin Soo-hyeok was slightly surprised by Kang-soo’s determined answer.
“If you do something wrong… what my mother went through. No, you may end up going through dozens of times more difficult than that.”
“Then is it okay for you to go through that! That is unacceptable to me!”
“I am… I’m used to it. So please don’t step out. I have no more explanations to give, so I’ll get up.”
Kang-soo immediately got up, said hello, and left the office.
Jin Soo-hyeok, who was watching his back, echoed what Kang-soo had said earlier.
“That will never happen.”
It was because it didn’t seem like he said it because he felt it was a nuisance or a hindrance. Jin Soo-hyeok could feel the concern and worry reflected in it.
“It’s Kangsu… … .”
.
.
.
It was midnight.
Kang-soo thought about going to Gong Chi-yeong, but it was too late, so he headed home.
After getting out of the taxi, I slowly walked up from the alley entrance. I wanted to breathe the outside air, which was starting to get cold out of frustration.
But the feeling of refreshment did not last long.
“… … .”
The river passed in front of the villa entrance and entered the narrow alley below.
After that, I put down the bag I was holding in my hand, quickly grabbed the wall and railing of the alley, and crossed over to the other side of the alley.
Sasasasak—
If someone found it, it would be misunderstood as a thief.
However, the rain did not stop and jumped over several walls and roofs and jumped down with all its might.
puck-
Below were three unidentified men.
One of them was knocked down by Kang-su’s knee attack. At the same time, the two men standing next to them rushed at me.
It was in close proximity. At the same time, it was also an advantageous interval for precipitation.
hook— hook—
Wood deuk—
The elbows and fists of the two flew into Kang-soo.
In response, Kangsu twisted his body to avoid it, grabbing his sleeves and elbows and twisting them while pulling them in.
puck- puck- puck-
The two men headbutted each other on the head.
At the moment of dizziness, the twist of the precipitation continued to shake them.
“Kuuk!”
“evil-!”
The two men swung around as if they were doing gymnastics on a moonlit night, and were hit by Kang-soo’s elbow, which came in front of them without being able to block it or avoid it.
pug-
“Big—”
With a scream, the men’s heads were hit at high speed and their bodies floated.
To finish off, Kangsu raised his legs high and slammed their torso down to the floor.
Cooung—
The men piled on top of each other groaned and struggled under the weight of their comrades.
Of course, the precipitation was weighing down on the top, so I couldn’t move anymore.
“Rain, get out of the way!”
“Ahhh—”
Every time I struggled from above, the bottom squeezed more and screamed.
“Shh—it’s late at night. You have to be quiet.”
“… … .”
Kang-su pressed them and searched for the arms of the man at the top. I found my phone and wallet inside and took them out.
ID was included.
[National Intelligence Service]
Kang-soo, who confirmed that, frowned.
From the other day, I felt that someone was watching me in front of my house. It was the same as before at JIN Entertainment. However, he did not follow, so he was waiting for him to move first.
Things were different today.
I told Jin Soo-hyeok about the situation. It was a situation where I had to be more careful, so if I saw even the slightest dangerous move, I needed to take care of it.
But when I caught it, it was the NIS.
Woo-woo-woo-woo-
The cell phone of the man I just found rang. I could feel the gaze from afar.
Soon, Kang-soo pressed the call button and waited.
[Han Kang-soo, I am Eun Se-hyeon, the head of Team 1 of the Crisis Management Office of the domestic part of the National Intelligence Service. My subordinates are not at fault, so please let them go.]
“Do you say there is nothing wrong with spying on people at will?”
[The reason is that even Han Kang-soo knows. I have something else to tell you, so I want to meet you.]
“You show your face first. If you don’t want to risk the lives of your subordinates.”
The river gave the strength that had been pressing it to the floor. At this, the men let out a louder scream.
[You are bluffing. You can’t do that with your current status, can you? Not even when you were in the army.]
“Then would it be okay for the current situation to flow outside?”
The men’s screams turned on lights in several houses around.
If the fuss lasted longer, it could attract people’s attention.
[The rest of the personnel are immediately evacuated. It’s late today, so I’ll send the car to your house by 9:00 tomorrow morning.]
“Do whatever you feel like.”
Kang-soo finally relaxed and came down from the top of the men.
The breathless men struggled to get up and braced themselves.
Seeing that, Kangsu threw the phone and wallet to the owner who pressed the end call button and walked home.
