Episode 168. Lure (4)
Kang-soo grabbed the arm of the bodyguard who was rushing from the left in an instant, broke it, and swung it down.
Wood deuk— Plop!
“Ah-!”
Along with the screams of the man who fell to the floor, Cha Jun-sung raised his hand.
It was to prevent the actions of the other bodyguards.
In the meantime, Kangsu ignored the other bodyguards and glared at Cha Junseong.
“Do you think you deserve to put those names on your lips?”
“Can you let go of my bodyguard’s arm first? It looks like the arm is missing. It’s because they’re my dearest friends.”
At Cha Jun-seong’s request, Kang-soo frowned further and let go of his collar and the bodyguard’s wrist.
“All off.”
Despite Kang-soo’s words, Cha Jun-seong did not move.
Cha Junseong, who stood quietly for a moment, spoke to his bodyguards.
“You guys are out.”
“Minister. It can’t—”
“Let me stay. Anyway, even if you are there, it’s no use to this friend.”
“but-“
“Please.”
The bodyguards hesitated at the serious voice of Cha Jun-sung, but moved at the man’s nod. Another bodyguard helped the injured bodyguard.
When they all withdrew, Cha Jun-seong opened his mouth, which had been quietly closed.
“I still feel sorry for them.”
Kangsu let out a big sigh and regained his composure a little.
“Whoa— I told you to die.”
Even when Kang-soo met Lee Tae-hoon, former Minister of National Defense, he kept his composure unobtrusively.
However, the name that came out of Cha Jun-sung’s mouth made him cross the line.
“The reality of not being treated well even though I changed my name while working for the country… I think it’s unfair too. But at that time, I couldn’t help it. Because their traces were able to come up with their tails.”
“He gets tired of making annoying noises.”
The three of them, who were members of the UBT, worked for the country as Cha Jun-seong said along with Kang-su. And in the last mission, the deaths of three people were handled by faking them as accidents.
The words of Cha Jun-seong, who was the Special Forces Commander at the time, were still embedded in Kang-soo’s mind.
“UBT’s activities are over. And even if it is unofficial, no record or treatment of the deceased should be left. never… . That is the decision of the superiors.”
“How is that? then… What about Sergeant Han Kang-soo?”
“I’m scheduled to be the team leader of the newly created unit… … .”
It was a conversation that Kang-su overheard by chance while visiting Kim Chul-ho.
After that, the decision of the precipitation was only the campaign, and after nearly 10 years, it came to the present.
Cha Junseong let out a quiet voice, not sure if he knew that Kangsu remembered that time.
“He… trying to change the world Wouldn’t it be great if you could help me there?”
“Even if it changes, do you really mean the world that is there?”
“Did you send Yoon Jae-seung away? It just needs that much power. How is it?
“I guess you forgot that I have a recording of my conversation with former Minister Lee Tae-hoon.”
It was recorded the last time Lee Tae-hoon visited Kang-soo. I accidentally recorded it, but because of it, I didn’t come in contact with Kang-soo until he contacted me first.
“I know. What I said now is risking my all.”
“Do you think that will do anything to me?”
“that… … .”
“Now shut your mouth and go away.”
Kangsu said that and walked to leave first.
At that time, Cha Jun-seong exclaimed urgently.
“Jennifer Han!”
For a moment, the feet of the river had no choice but to stop.
In response, Cha Jun-seong continued to speak.
“Did they pick you up for UBT ten years ago without researching anything about you? Data was also collected on your mother, who had already died at the time. I had to make sure I knew where I came from.”
Kangsu didn’t answer, just turned his head and waited for his words.
“… … .”
“I also looked at your movements recently. Then, at the ＜Diablo Neighborhood＞ celebration party, he identified a woman named Jennifer Han of Ten Tsubasa International who looked just like your mother. Isn’t there something secret?”
Of course, after Kang Soo met Lee Tae Hoon, he thought that there would be some kind of movement.
However, I did not expect that I could grasp the connection between my mother and Jennifer Han.
“… You have crossed the line.”
“Seeing that there has been no special movement after that, doesn’t that mean there is something blocked? Then, whatever you do, we will be your strength. How is it?”
At Cha Jun-seong’s explanation that followed, Kang-soo looked at him with her eyes as if tearing them apart.
“So you guys are trying to change the world by making Lee Jeong-hwan the president?”
At the same time, Cha Jun-seong’s expression hardened. Because they never said who they designed the cause with. Of course, I was careful not to leak it outside because it would cause a lot of noise even if it was exposed externally.
“How far do you know?”
“Yoon Jae-seung, the most likely candidate, was arrested. The leading candidates for the next presidential election are Cheon Joo-hee of the Green Window Party and Lee Jung-hwan of the independent. at there… Isn’t it natural that Cheon Joo-hee won’t suit your tastes?”
“Big… … .”
“That’s all for my work. Beyond that, you can think of the recording file I mentioned earlier as going to the NIS.”
The warning of precipitation was there.
After that, Kangsu passed Cha Junseong’s bodyguards and left the office.
The bodyguards returned to Cha Jun-seong, who was left alone in the office.
“Are you okay?”
“You’re fine. There’s a place to go right away, so go down.”
Cha Jun-seong went down with the bodyguards and immediately got into the car.

The office of Kim Woo-hyun, head of the domestic division of the National Intelligence Service.
Kim Woo-hyeon kicked Oh Jeong-jin’s shin after returning from meeting Kang-soo.
puck-
“Keugh—!”
“Are you sick? it hurts? Drop that pestilence and come back, it hurts!”
Because I heard everything about what was going on.
Kim Woo-hyun let out a big sigh and tried to swing his fist, but stopped.
“Sorry, sorry… … .”
“I’m sorry for this!”
“I can’t believe Han Kang-soo and Minister Cha Jun-seong… I didn’t expect to be connected directly.”
It was the same for Kim Woo-hyun. At the same time, only the question of what kind of operations the person named Han Kang-soo performed under the Ministry of National Defense grew stronger.
“It’s crazy. With the presidential election not far away, this is the situation.”
“but… According to public opinion polls, isn’t Rep. Chun Ju-hee a bit ahead?”
“By just a few percentage points? You need a surefire means. sure… . You still have nothing against Lee Jeong-hwan?”
Oh Jeong-jin lowered his head and couldn’t lift it.
“So far, nothing has caught on.”
“Is it dirty and clean? Or is it too much to do dirty things? Don’t you know that politics is also possible with power? What can I do if I become an independent?”
“Why don’t we send the operation away instead?”
“Are you crazy? Minister Cha confirmed our move. Don’t you know that only books can be caught in that situation?”
Oh Jung-jin’s head lowered at Kim Woo-hyun’s raised voice.
Kim Woo-hyun only sighed in frustration.
Cheon Joo-hee was the only line that was newly connected after Yoon Jae-seung collapsed. In such a situation, Lee Jung-hwan, who was reluctant to even contact the NIS, could not be allowed to be elected.
If that happened, everything would go to waste.
“I really want to go back. Even if the situation was twisted, it was too twisted.”
“… … .”
“Besides, Han Kang-soo, what the hell is that person? Aside from being connected to the Ministry of National Defense, the third generation of Jinyeon Group? furthermore… Camo Investment? 200 billion?”
It appeared as an article during the day. Of course, news is also news, but as Oh Jung-jin and Eun Se-hyun were marking Kang-soo, I was able to get in touch with the news quickly.
Camo Investment made huge profits in about a month after its founding.
“To be honest, I am an unpredictable person. It always feels like we are moving several moves ahead of us.”
“If that guy is in collusion with the Ministry of National Defense, it would be a headache… … .”
Woo-woo-woo-woo-
Just then, Oh Jung-jin’s cell phone rang.
“what?”
“… This is a contact from the surveillance team that was put outside while meeting CEO Han Kang-soo. During the conversation, I planted a wiretap just in case.”
“That was good. Take it on speakerphone.”
Oh Jeong-jin switched the call to the speaker phone as directed by Kim Woo-hyun and connected.
“Was there anything special about it?”
[CEO Han Kang-soo and Minister Cha Jun-seong do not seem to be on the same side.]
“What do you mean?”
Earlier, Jung-jin Oh clearly saw Minister Cha Jun-seong, whom he met at the Gyeongrak Building, defending Kang-soo.
I couldn’t help but understand the absurd report of my subordinate.
[There was quite a bit of an argument between the two. If you check the contents, you will know, but it seems that something bad happened in the past.]
“Just send the contents quickly.”
[I just sent it to the manager’s email.]
The call ended just like that.
Oh Jeong-jin checked the mail on his cell phone and played the attached file.
The expressions of Oh Jung-jin and Kim Woo-hyun, who started listening to the contents, become meaningful. It was because the words of the surveillance team agent were understood.
[Did they get hired as a UBT member ten years ago without researching anything about you? Data was also collected on your mother, who had already died at the time. Because I had to know where I came from.]
[I also looked at your movements recently. Then, at the ＜Diablo Neighborhood＞ celebration party, he identified a woman named Jennifer Han of Ten Tsubasa International who looked just like your mother. Isn’t there something secret?]
As I continued to listen, a conversation aroused my doubts.
When Kim Woo-hyun heard that, his eyes twinkled.
“UBT… Was it also that project?”
“You know?”
“Underground Bravery Team.”
“The intrepid team of the underground… ? What is it?”
If translated directly, it was. So Jeongjin Oh was more difficult to understand.
At this, Kim Woo-hyun’s eyebrows deepened.
“A special unit under the direct control of the Special Warfare Command that operated covertly overseas.”
“Was Han Kang-soo active as a member there? But aren’t there many troops like that?”
This is because it did not feel secretive enough to be thoroughly hidden by the Ministry of Defense.
Then Oh Jeong-jin remembered what Minister Cha Jun-seong had said.
“ah! Come to think of it, I said that it was the opportunity that made me the current director of the National Intelligence Service. Does it have anything to do with it?”
“Rumors abound. Some say that he was dispatched as a North Korean operative to assassinate forces supporting the war, and others say that he stole raw materials for nuclear weapons that North Korea was trying to trade in Africa.”
“… Wasn’t there an official case ten years ago?”
It was the first time I had ever heard it. It was one of the stories that were kept quiet even within the NIS.
“The truth is that only the director knows. But to think that the operation led by UBT was also related to the director… Hmm… … .”
“What should I do?”
They didn’t know that if they dug the wrong side of UBT along with the Ministry of National Defense, the presidential election or something would fly from their necks. For that reason, there were only a few options for Kim Woo-hyun.
“First, dig Jennifer Han. It would be nice if I could catch the tail of CEO Han Kang-soo with that.”
“I’ll attach someone right away.”
Oh Jeong-jin left the office.
Left alone, Kim Woo-hyun sat in front of his desk and listened to the wiretapping over and over again.
It was to see if there were any other gaps that could be obtained.
