Episode 147. Outer
Ha Ri-yeon continued to stare at Kang-soo, then took a sip of the tea in front of her.
“As I said at the party, I have a lot of interest in that. It may even outweigh the interest your grandfather has.”
“I am not interested.”
From the beginning, the Chiniu group was just one of the puzzles that Kang needed to solve ＜Neighbor Diablo＞. Besides, I didn’t want to get entangled in it because I had peeped into the Chiniu group while investigating it.
“Will you marry me?”
At that moment, the bodyguards standing behind Ha Ri-yeon looked at her in surprise.
Soon, Pei Chen, the head of security who was standing to her right, spoke cautiously.
“My lady, what you just said… … .”
“If it’s because of Mom, don’t say more. And can’t you see we’re talking?”
In reality, they were the people of Wu Qianshi, Ha Ri-yeon’s birth mother. Of course, I was instructed about a situation where I needed to intervene while protecting myself.
This situation was one of them.
“… sorry.”
“This is why I told you to leave… … .”
“The situation in China is not good. Even the Chairman said—”
“shut up.”
The sharp voice stopped the bodyguard from continuing.
Ha Ri-yeon confirmed that the bodyguard had stepped back and continued talking.
“how is it? As long as your grandfather is interested in you, he will give you enough strength.”
“No need. Shouldn’t you be more careful with your body first?”
“Heh— are you worried about me?”
Despite Kang-soo’s harsh question, Ha-ri-yeon deliberately thought positively and asked back.
At this, Kang-soo looked alternately at the bodyguards standing behind her. Then, with a shallow sigh, he said.
“Do you know that your grandfather, Chairman Wu Fei, owes me the price of his life?”
“I only know that far. I don’t know the details. That must be why your grandfather is interested in you.”
“Then how about you owe me your life?”
Ha Ri-yeon tilted her head, as if it was difficult to understand.
“You won’t kill me here, so are you going to threaten me not to follow me?”
“I don’t think there’s any need for threats… If you owe me your life, will you promise not to bother me like this again?”
“I do not understand. It sounds like you really want to promise something, but if you explain it to me and I understand it, let’s promise it.”
Did Kang-soo look cute? Ha Ri-yeon, slightly stunned, even smiled.
In response, Kangsu spoke clearly in Chinese as if asking.
“Your grandmother Sameerin. and her mother Wu Qianxi. Do the people over there use the people of Songchenhua as bodyguards?”
“that is… Excuse me?”
“There you are. Wasn’t it Wu Xuan’s bodyguard? Now that Wu Xuan is in exile, it must be his mother Song Chenhua’s.”
It was Pei Chen, the bodyguard who stopped talking as if she was worried about Ha Ri-yeon earlier.
Kangsu remembered the face he had knocked down when he solved Wu Xuan and Wu Chao Xi.
Of course, Feichen did not recognize Kangsu, who was wearing a mask at the time. Then his expression suddenly changed and he was about to jump out toward the door.
At the same time, Kang-soo quickly got up from his seat and landed on the desk to kick.
puck-
Pei-chen was driven into the wall while blocking the kick that flew in front of her.
“Kyaaak-!”
Ha Ri-yeon shouted in surprise. At that moment, another bodyguard on the other side tried to catch Ha Ri-yeon.
Kang-soo turned around on the table and kicked him like Pei-chen just before he approached.
puck-
“Big—!”
Driven into a corner, they took out a triple bar from their arms and tried to open it.
Pak- Papak-
At the same time, Kangsu kicked Feichen’s wrist, grabbed the triple bar, and stabbed him between his collarbone, neck, and side with repeated blows with the handle.
Pupper— Pupper Puck—
“Ouch—”
It was just a matter of picking the vitals and shooting them. At that time, another man standing next to him hurriedly tried to counterattack Kang-soo.
However, Kang-soo kept him in check while defeating Pei-chen.
Of course, there was still no gap for Kang-soo.
Papak— Papa pak—
In close proximity, Kang-su dodged his attack and swung the handle of the three-handed staff as he did with Pei-chen. Then, Kang-soo’s fist holding a three-pole stick stuck through the gap.
puck-
“Big—”
The gap got bigger.
Kang-soo raised his elbow and threw it at his chin, then grabbed his head and broke it.
Wood deuk—
The man with his neck broken fell to the floor unconscious.
In the meantime, Ha Ri-yeon slowly calmed down, surprised by the stormy situation around her.
“Whoa— I think there were about three more bodyguards outside. Is that all?”
I was referring to the people I had seen before entering the cafe hallway. Ha Ri-yeon nodded slowly at Kang-soo’s question.
In response, Kangsu asked an obvious question just in case.
“Among them, the trustworthy one… … .”
This time, Ha Ri-yeon’s head was lowered.
This is because the current bodyguards were newly deployed before entering Korea.
Kangsu let out a sigh at the expected answer. Then I took out my cell phone and called Cheolho Kim.
“Chief. This is the VIP floor of the Central Part Hotel, so you need to send some security personnel.”
[Guard?]
We just broke up after talking.
It was difficult for Kim Chul-ho to immediately understand Kang-su’s request.
“The target of protection is Ha Ri-yeon of Chiniu Group. I will contact you and the representative, so please as soon as possible. These are talented people. Ah— I would like you to arrange six people, including team leader Ma Chun-dong, who fought with me at that time.”
[I’ll check and send the report right away.]
“Wait at the entrance to the parking lot on the 1st basement floor, and 4 people can come up.”
After Kang-su finished the call, he informed Jin Soo-hyeok of the situation.
And lastly, he was the chairman of Chiniu Group, Wu Fei.
[oh-! What is it?]
“If you don’t want your granddaughter to smell the incense behind the folding screen, take the security guards that are currently deployed.”
[…] what?]
“Did you know that a bodyguard who was Wu Xuan’s subordinate was guarding your granddaughter?”
For a moment, Chairman Wu Fei was speechless.
[…] Really?]
“after… It’s just soybean flour.”
Kangsu muttered in Korean. Of course, President Wu Fei didn’t understand that.
[What did you say?]
“Well, that’s just what it means. Anyway, you know what to do. From now on, I will leave the security to the Blue Guard.”
[hmm… don’t let it know that Thank you. next time-]
pop-
Before Chairman Wu Fei finished speaking, the river stopped first.
Meanwhile, a message arrived.
[depart. Scheduled to arrive in 18 minutes.]
After checking the message, Kang-soo put the phone into his arms.
Ha Ri-yeon pretended to be fine, but her fingertips trembled as if she was worried.
“Are you really okay?”
“Just wait a little bit.”
smart-
There was a knock on the door and a man’s voice was heard in Chinese.
“My lady, are you okay? I heard that there was a commotion coming from inside.”
It was one of the other bodyguards waiting outside.
He came because of the sound of Kangsu knocking down the bodyguards inside.
Meanwhile, the man’s voice continued to ring.
“miss! I will go in!”
“Wait a minute! You don’t have to come in.”
I wonder if I heard the trembling of a voice that hesitated for a while.
The man opened the door without a moment’s hesitation.
drooling—
At the same time, he found the two bodyguards collapsed on the floor and punched Kang-soo.
It was right in front. At that moment, Kang-soo grabbed his arm, twisted it inward, and threw it whole.
Wooddeuk— Kuung—!
There was a loud bang as the man hit the wall hard.
“Ahhh—!”
There was also a scream.
As a result, the other two bodyguards, who were a short distance away, also ran.
Kang-soo thought it would be difficult to wait for the blue guard, so he came out with Hari-yeon.
“Stay close behind me.”
char-
The men came running and faced Kang-soo, pulling out a three-pole stick.
Of course, Kang-soo’s hand also held the folded three-stage stick he had brought earlier.
Kang-soo looked at them and said.
“Have you not been contacted by your superiors?”
“… Communication?”
At that time, the man who was a little behind felt a vibration in his arms and took out the phone to answer.
Soon after, the color on his face changed.
After the phone call, the man whispered to the man who was confronting Kang-soo in front of him. What Kang Su said to Chairman Wu Fei was relayed.
“If you knew you guys were cut, get out of the way. Or run away.”
“… … .”
The two looked at each other and stepped aside.
Kang-soo was able to quietly pass between them with Ha-ri-yeon. When I went down to the underground parking lot, I met the Blue Guard bodyguards who arrived just in time.
Within that, Team Leader Chun-dong Chun-dong stepped forward.
“… Long time no see. Manager Han Kang-soo.”
“I’m a (?) VIP, so please take good care of me. If possible, I would like you to refrain from leaving the hotel until you leave for China.”
Because he was speaking in Korean, Ha Ri-yeon could not understand.
On the other hand, since Ma Chun-dong knew who she was, it was questionable how she could decide such things at will.
Kangsu knew that well, so he spoke to Ha Ri-yeon in Chinese.
“You keep the promise you made earlier. I mean, I won’t bother you again.”
“… … .”
“I know you understand, so I’ll excuse myself.”
After saying that, Kang-soo left it to Ma Chun-dong and went to his car.
“Now, wait a minute.”
“Why is that?”
“Do you hate me that much?”
“It is neither good nor bad.”
Ha Ri-yeon bit her lip at Kang-soo’s calm reply.
I tried not to show my emotions as much as possible until now, but it seemed like my pride was getting more crushed when I was in a situation like this.
“Then can’t you think a little more?”
“Nothing. And I don’t want to be directly involved with the Chiniu group.”
“… … .”
After that, Kangsu walked to the car and got on.
Ha Ri-yeon, who stood quietly for a while, got into the car and set off under the protection of Ma Chun-dong.
“Whoa—what’s going on all day… … .”
From the visit to Gong Chi-young’s new PC room to Kim Cheol-ho and Ha Ri-yeon, there were many hectic things for several hours.
Kangsu started the car, feeling his neck stiffen.

same time.
A white-haired Asian man entered the arrivals hall of Incheon International Airport with a group of young men.
In front of them stood Jennifer Han with two men. They were bodyguards and surveillance officers Jihu Chen and Travis Floyd.
There was no greeting.
Jihuchen stepped forward and guided them to open the door of a large van parked in front of the airport.
When everyone got on there, the old man spoke first. Japanese came out.
“What if I can’t even serve as bait?”
At the old man’s murmur, Jennifer Han lowered her head as she sat there.
“… sorry.”
“All right. Rather, you must have heard the news from the French side.”
“… Yes, I was waiting for any further instructions.”
As the car started, the old man looked back and forth between Jennifer Han and Jihuchen, who was sitting next to him.
“Did you not notice that you came all the way here?”
“Nothing… There was none.”
It was because the current situation was also bait. As much as he was working in Korea, he became frantic to find the person who destroyed the hideout in Paris, France.
However, it was frustrating because there was no movement after the incident in France.
“It’s something to be excited about. I found traces of stealing information from Paris, but it’s quiet.”
“Couldn’t it have been only for information purposes in the first place?”
“If so, I wouldn’t have blown up the hideout to expose it.”
Currently, the French government was thoroughly investigating the secret underground space discovered on the Champs-Élysées. If it was enough to make it stand out, there was a high probability that it wasn’t just information.
“What are you preparing for here? Do you think it will go well?”
“As we saw and posted the other day, we are starting without any problems. We will provide you with additional reports in the near future.”
“I will.”
The old man withdrew his sharp eyes and leaned against the back of the chair.
Those around him let out a sigh of relief.
