Episode 134. Lock Code (2)
The voice that leaked through the phone was quite loud.
Gu Sang-wook, who was standing next to him, moved and searched the table where the two were sitting.
I checked under tables and chairs, corners, etc. Even the table that had been warped by the precipitation earlier.
But nothing came out, let alone a wiretap.
“Where did you hide it?”
“hey! Didn’t you search properly earlier?”
The man who had left earlier came in hurriedly and took the question.
“I did it meticulously. All I had was my cell phone and wallet.”
“But how… … .”
Concerned about the tape recorder, I even searched using the device, but it was useless. Where the hell did you hide the tape recorder?
In the meantime, the recording over the receiver ended and Kang-soo’s voice was heard.
[If you touch me again, I will send this recording to the Blue House and each media outlet. No warning twice.]
“Do you think the recording will work?”
[Ah— and it seems that former NIS agent Gu Sang-wook is also there.]
It was because I heard Koo Sang-wook’s voice over the receiver.
“under… under… Long time no see. Go, Mr. Kangsu. The last time I went, Chi-young’s internet cafe was in a mess. Is it okay?”
Since he was a regular at the internet cafe, there was no way he didn’t know about the situation there.
[Never approach me or anyone around me again. There is no second warning.]
pop-
The call ended just like that. At the same time, Eun Se-hyun and Gu Sang-wook’s expressions were crumpled.
“What the hell is this bastard!”
“… You really got it right.”
Unlike Eun Se-hyun, who reacted violently, Gu Sang-wook collapsed.
I had been interested in Kang-soo ever since I lent him a microfilm scanner through Gong Chi-young.
Of course, at that time, I was more interested in the microfilm I had than precipitation… … .
Ever since Eun Se-hyeon was asked by Koo Sang-wook, who was called an informant, if he could find out about Han Kang-soo, his curiosity had grown. That’s why I moved with the utmost care, but I was so excited that I was caught.
“I know how to leave this bastard alone! He even made suggestions!”
“stop. It’s ugly to see.”
“what-?”
“I didn’t think he was an ordinary guy… We underestimated it more than we thought.”
“So you want to leave it alone? The prestige of the NIS has fallen to the floor!”
“Is that the prestige of the NIS? it must be your prestige And stop thinking about what to say above. If you approach it blindly like this, you will see real blood.”
Koo Sang-wook muttered that and went outside.
Eun Se-hyeon, who was left with her subordinate, felt that the nape of her neck felt sore and that the blood was about to rise to the top of her head.
.
.
.
After Kang-soo finished talking to Eun Se-hyeon, he even blocked the number.
Because I never wanted to get involved with the NIS. So I used one I had made by mimicking the shoe taps and tracking devices Savnak had used.
It was possible because it was difficult to check every toe unless it was at the airport checkpoint.
When the threat was over, the car, which had been parked for a while, started again.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long, so I went straight to JIN Entertainment.
It didn’t take long since it was past rush hour. I arrived on the second floor of the company and knocked on the office door of General Manager Yoo Chae-yeon.
“It didn’t take longer than I thought.”
“Fortunately, it didn’t have to be a big deal.”
“… yes? What are you doing?”
“no. What else did you want to see?”
Yoo Chae-yeon thought about the question for a while before speaking.
“You know that frequent vacations are a problem these days, right?”
“… yes.”
The precipitation was also something I guessed.
These days, along with Gong Chi-young’s revenge, he was distracted because things were connected about the Blueton Reform.
“Even if there is no problem with manager Yoo So-hyun or Kim Bo-ran, the problem with equity is not small when viewed by other managers.”
“I know. So I was a bit worried.”
“If you are worried… … ?”
“I will resign. If it’s going to cause trouble for the company, that’s right—”
“That can’t be done!”
“… yes? Why are you saying no?”
Kangsu seriously thought about it.
However, Yoo Chae-yeon was surprised and objected, so I couldn’t help but wonder.
“Let’s think about resigning a little more. instead… Just to the extent that I refrain from taking unpaid leave as much as possible.”
“but… … .”
I didn’t want to keep bothering him.
I thought it was a way for the people I work with and for Jin Soo-hyeok rather than myself.
However, Yoo Chae-yeon thought differently.
“In terms of work, he is doing really well. I don’t know exactly what’s going on… Wouldn’t it be better to work hard so that you can work stably rather than resigning?”
Only his work style is rigid, but Kang-soo has done better than anyone else.
Besides, CEO Jin Soo-hyeok did not want to receive Kang-soo’s resignation letter.
“to be honest… I don’t know what to say.”
This time we robbed Bluton Reform’s French hideout. After analyzing the data taken from there, he planned to find another hiding place and finally hit the top.
It took a very short time in the process.
Of course, there will be many cases where you miss work like this time.
“Will it be difficult?”
Woo-woo-woo-woo-
When Kang-soo heard his phone ringing in his arms, he tried to turn it down because he was talking.
However, ‘Gong Chi-young’ appeared on the screen.
I didn’t know if it was a call that I found something.
“Excuse me for a moment as this is an essential call.”
“is it so.”
After leaving the office, Kang-soo went into the meeting room next to him and pressed the call button.
[What are you doing?]
“It’s a company. Did anything come out?”
[…] What are you talking about?]
When the answer he had been waiting for did not come, Kang-soo felt strange.
“Didn’t you call after checking the data sent to the server from Paris?”
[What am I doing with my hands now? I have to do it after everything gets better.]
Gong Chi-yeong had six fingernails pulled out, from the pinky finger of her right hand to the thumb of her left hand.
Of course, I could barely even lift a spoon, let alone type on the keyboard.
“ah… … .”
It was because Gong Chi-young told her over the phone from Paris that she should trust only herself, so she hadn’t even thought about that.
“Then why did you call?”
[hmm… … .]
“What’s going on?”
[I wonder what happened to what I said last time.]
“… The other day?”
Kangsu tilted his head as he said something. Then, suddenly, something came to mind.
At the same time, Gong Chi-young told me directly.
[The one I was supposed to save. I wonder what happened.]
“… wait.”
pop-
Kang-su, who ended the call one-sidedly, went back to Yoo Chae-yeon’s office and sat down.
“Looks like it won’t be a problem for a while.”
He had no choice but to wait for Gong Chi-yeong’s hand to heal.
In addition, as long as the NIS was moved, it was also right to reduce dangerous activities for a while.
“really?”
“Yes, I will not interfere with the work itself.”
First of all, it was important to pay attention to Gong Chi-young.
“thank you. Then you can start working.”
“I will.”
Kang-su came out of Yoo Chae-yeon’s office like that.
Therefore, it was important how to talk about the collection to Yoo So-hyun and Kim Bo-ran.

National Intelligence Service Crisis Management Office.
There, Eun Se-hyeon was standing in front of Jeong-jin Oh, head of the crisis management office in charge of counterintelligence in the domestic part.
bang-!
Oh Jeong-jin hit the desk.
“What happened!”
“… sorry. I don’t know what method Han Kang-soo used, but he seems to be more meticulous than I thought.”
“You still don’t know how?”
“I’m sure they confirmed everything… … .”
In response, Jeongjin Oh rubbed his temples with his fingers.
“First of all, is he the one who blew Yoon Jae-seung?”
“There is no evidence… Circumstantial, the odds seem high.”
“hmm… . What do you think he is doing when you see him?”
The National Intelligence Service also completed the primary background check on Han Kang-soo.
However, as Eun Se-hyeon had told Kang-soo, she hadn’t discovered anything since she was discharged from the righteous army.
“… I do not know. What the hell was he doing… . I would like to find out about the Department of Defense.”
“Are you crazy? Do you want to tell them all about what we do?”
“but… Yoon Jae-seung is also keeping his mouth shut… … .”
The quickest way was to tell Yoon Jae-seung in prison.
However, no matter how many times he visited, he never said anything about who threatened him or what.
Eun Se-hyeon did not understand such a situation or Han Kang-soo.
“What on earth is his existence in the Ministry of Defense, why is he hiding his identity this much?”
“You mean it’s not a light existence… . First of all, has there been anything more about the Han River?”
It was to find other traces.
In response, Eun Se-hyun recalls the things she was recently reported to.
“… There is an internet cafe in Yongsan that Kang-Soo Han visited from time to time, but when I checked there a while ago, it was closed. When I found out what was going on, they said that the gangsters had come in for some reason.”
“Gangster?”
“When I looked closely, it was an organization called Chunseongpa, which was active in the Gangnam area in Seoul.”
Suddenly, gangs of gangs popped up. That is also a big man active in Seoul.
At this, Oh Jung-jin tilted his head and waited for his explanation.
“Not too long ago, a man named Lee Sang-wook, who was ranked third in the Chunseong faction, joined forces with Oh Won-hoe to prepare for a coup, but it failed.”
Oh Jeong-jin, who kept trying to listen, was surprised.
“Owonhoe? You mean Hong Kong’s Five Yuanhoe?”
“you’re right. When I sneakily inquired into the motives of the overseas part, they said that there had been a big change within the Ohwonhoe after the Chunseongpa incident.”
“It wasn’t that they were preparing for a coup, right?”
“Similar. In detail, this elder Qinshizong line has completely collapsed. Accordingly, the other faction, the Il Elder Ju Quen, takes most of the elder Lee’s interests, and is being talked about as the next leader of the Five Yuan Association.”
Oh Jeong-jin looked at Eun Se-hyeon with a questionable look at the detailed explanation.
Although they were once together in the overseas part, the current information was at a level that was difficult to know unless they had a transaction with the person in charge.
“How did you find out? It would have been difficult for me to tell you the motive up to that point.”
“Oh Won-hoe ignored Jin Ryong-hoe before Chunseong-pa Lee Sang-wook and made a new deal with Busan Saha-pa. In response, the overseas department said they needed a little bit of information about Sahapa, so they shared it as much as possible.”
“… Not bad. Come to think of it, Sahapa also changed after the boss, Ham Man-bok, was killed a while ago, right?”
Oh Jeong-jin heard that and then explained.
“Seong Tae-woo, the leader of the Saha faction and Ham Man-bok’s right-hand man, took over the boss position. For now, the team in charge of Busan is watching.”
“Good. anyway… Recently, there have been too many incidents in Korea. It’s the same with the presidential candidate leaving, and this time it’s a gangster. Ah— Didn’t we talk about internet cafes earlier?”
As the story of Oh Won-hoe came out, Oh Jeong-jin made the topic fall into a side road.
At that question, Eun Se-hyeon cleared her throat.
“It’s not clear, but it seems that some of the IPs passed through the Minebook incident that broke out a while ago went through that PC room.”
“IP?”
“Honestly, it is said that it was quiet inside Hong Kong, but wasn’t Hong Kong the place where the Minebook server was discovered? Of course, the Owonhoe cannot help but be involved. I think I briefly held hands with Lee Sang-wook of the Chunseongpa while entering Seoul, Korea to chase after the guy who turned there.”
Oh Jung-jin naturally nodded.
“That PC room wasn’t so lucky. But, all of a sudden, that PC room was a place Han Kang-soo used to go to sometimes? Did you investigate the Han River and its connection?”
“The president there is a man named Gong Chi-young, and most of them in their 20s were unemployed because they played with each other. I don’t know where they became friends, but it seems like they visit from time to time.”
I wasn’t sure. Eun Se-hyeon guessed by matching the situation and the incident in her own way.
“What is so intertwined?”
“What about the Han River? It is judged difficult to monitor again. And if we do it wrong, we may face a backlash.”
Han Kang-soo had a recording of the conversation.
Of course, if you tried to spread it through large media outlets, you could have stopped it.
But on the other hand, it was dangerous. And I couldn’t help but be careful because Yoon Jae-seung was hit through the other direction.
