Episode 26. uncomfortable relationship
Kang-soo confirmed that Woo Joon-jun approached him.
Dressed in a neat black sprite suit, I could see the luxury car that Woo Joon-jun was riding in the back.
“This is Mr. Woo Seon-jun.”
“What is that between cousins? Besides, we’re the same age.”
“…”
“Ah, was I Oba? ha ha ha. But since we’re the same age, it would be nice if we could talk comfortably.”
First of all, he laughed out loud.
“Well, do whatever you feel comfortable with.”
“Because I’ll let you go. But what is it here? Is there something to see?”
His finger pointed at ‘Infectus Investment’.
“no. I was passing by because I had business nearby.”
“Ah, let it go when it’s convenient. I came here because I had something to do.”
“I see.”
“okay? hmm···. Oh, something is very awkward. I’m trying to get along comfortably with my cousins. It’s not easy. Next time we have a chance, let’s have a drink.”
“When the time comes, that is. Excuse me.”
After giving a wooden greeting, Kang-soo walked to the right of the building and entered the alley.
Accordingly, Woo Joon-jun also got into the car and started off, and went into the underground parking lot of the Infectus Investment building.
Meanwhile, at the corner of the alley, Kang-soo slightly poked his head out.
“Why should I use Woo Joon-jun here?”
Woo Joon-jun was the third-generation conglomerate and head of the JY department store business headquarters.
You may have stopped by Infectus Investments regarding investment.
However, Kang-soo could not erase the feeling of embarrassment. Then I took out my cell phone and called Gong Chi-young.
It took longer than usual to connect.
[···wanna die? Who wants to call at this hour?]
“What time is it, are you still sleeping?”
[This bastard. What time does the internet cafe boss sleep have anything to do with you?]
“It’s okay, have you found out about Woo Joon-jun’s father yet?”
First of all, Woo Joon-jun’s father is Chinese, not Korean.
He was also the third son and fourth child of Wu Fei, chairman of Qiniu Group, which is famous for being one of China’s leading companies.
There were also many articles about Jin Se-yeon and her marriage.
It is to marry the children of a company that is said to be mine.
At that time, Woo Hwa-jong was competent enough to be in charge of the electronics affiliates and distribution affiliates of Chiniu Group.
However, Wu Huazong passed away after ten years of illness.
His wife, Jin Se-yeon, and his son, Woo Joon-joon, returned to Korea after being pushed out of a stake dispute.
External information was just there.
[wait······.]
Over the phone, Gong Chi-young wondered if he was doing something, and a long yawn followed.
[I’m sure you know that he came back after losing in the dispute over shares in the Chiniu Group. …There were rumors that they were separated in China in the past. There were rumors that Jin Se-yeon was domestically abused by Woo Hwa-jong. However, it was not widely reported.]
“How likely is that to be true?”
[It’s a bit low. Wu Huazong passed away three years after his health began to deteriorate. Until then, Jin Se-yeon and Woo Joon-joon were the people who had been sick. At that time, there were also many articles on the Chinese side.]
Kangsu had no corner to catch right away.
Then I just remembered something.
“It must be difficult to find out if Woo Seon-jun is related to Infectus Investment, right?”
[The one that hit 30 million dollars in a place called Bluton Repon?]
“that’s right.”
[That’s difficult for me too. I don’t know if I could turn it myself.]
At Gong Chi-yeong’s sigh, Kang-soo raised her eyes and looked at the Infectus Investment building.
“…”
[I don’t think so. I think you were called dozens of times by the follow-up management team when you were in Ejisto because all you had to do was protect yourself and even destroyed the enemy camp. remember You must not forget.]
Is it a habit when he was a soldier or mercenary, or is it an instinct of precipitation?
If there is a background, it is because it has always been like that.
“Then, what about the people involved in Infectus Investment? When I entered the company site, there was only an introduction and history, but there was no information about the branch manager or executives.”
[It must be because it is also an investment company, and the information handled there is sensitive. Same with the Italian headquarters. Once I know, I’ll see.]
“I get it.”
After finishing the call, Kangsu let out a sigh full of agony.
Then I walked again.
I left the building area and entered a residential area with low floors. Unlike the building district, which was crowded with office workers, it felt calm.
From there, Kangsu gradually entered the alley and quickly climbed over the fence.
‘two people? No… three?’
It’s because I’ve been tailing since I came out of the hospital.
However, even inside the broadcasting station, the gaze was not felt. However, when I took a taxi from there, the car caught up with me.
Soon, the river entered the gap between the corner houses along the wall.
sasa sasa –
I circled about 3 houses at high speed and climbed over the fence again.
Hook – Tak.
Upon landing, the back of a man wearing a black hat, hoodie, and jeans was caught in front of Kang-soo.
“If you move even a little, safety is not guaranteed.”
“Please wait.”
What the man heard was fluent English.
“What is it for me?”
The presence I felt this time was similar to that near Yoo So-hyun’s villa.
If so, there was a possibility that the purpose of surveillance in the first place was himself, not Yoo So-hyun.
Sasak-!
Then Kangsu suddenly swung his arm behind him.
Another foreign man approached before I knew it, and was about to attack him.
puck-!
While Kang-soo’s elbow hit his temple, the man who first grabbed him turned around.
In response, Kang-soo grabbed his neck with his arm on the other side and threw it toward the staggering man who was hit in the temple.
Quadang-!
The two men tangled in each other and fell.
In the meantime, Kang-soo hit the man on the chin for the first time with his foot.
puck-
The man whose head shook properly passed out.
“Big!”
The man who had been hit in the temple struggled under it.
In response, Kang-soo came closer and said.
“What is it for me?”
“…”
“You must have been well educated.”
“Won’t you stop bothering the little kids?”
It was a voice that came from a little further back.
A distance that makes it difficult to counterattack immediately. At this, Kangsu slowly turned his head.
It was a middle-aged foreigner with blond hair and gray hair with a slight bridge.
“Harold… Hudson?”
“Long time no see. Night River. No, should it be called Han River now?”
Kangsu hardened his expression and slowly approached him.
Then, as if preparing something, Harold Hudson also released his hand from his back and put it forward.
When they reached the front, the two shook hands.
“Long time no see. Hudson.”
“Even if you call me Harold comfortably. Or Harry.”
“···All right. Harold.”
‘Harry’ was too much of a nickname.
As the precipitation receded to the proper line, Harold let go of his hardened expression.
“Still. And it seems that our kids were too ahead of their motivators and caught up a bit too much.”
Harold’s gaze turned to the men who were getting up in the alley.
Soon after, he closed his eyes and shook his head as if he was pathetic.
“I told you to be very careful.”
“Have you ever been Harold in the villa complex before?”
It was because of the presence I felt in front of Yoo So-hyun’s house.
“Ah, did you feel that too? I wanted to go just to see how he was doing, but since I don’t know where he lives, I couldn’t help it.”
It was through Yoo So-hyun that he followed.

No matter how hard you try to hide a celebrity’s house, you can’t completely hide it.
“You can just come and see me, why did you do that?”
“Let’s move from place to place. That’s not what we’re talking about here.”
The men took care of each other and went back to the car.
In the meantime, Kangsu and Harold Hudson went to a nearby cafe and sat in a corner.
Because it was on a weekday morning, there were no other customers except for the two.
“It’s a nice and clean place. I think Korea is very nice. After a few days, there was nothing missing. There are plenty of restaurants nearby until late at night.”
“It is quite different from other countries. But how did you find me?”
Kangsu met Harold when he was a mercenary. It left no trace when it left the floor, so it was difficult for anyone to find it.
“I met Fred Barron. He said he thought he saw you. Just in case, I tracked it down to the station and came here and found it right.”
It was a relationship that Kang had never thought of before.
“Fred was Harold’s subordinate.”
“You must have met once. Besides, did I compliment you a little too much?”
“It was to the point where the scabs sat on my ears.”
When he was a mercenary, Harold would often suggest that Kang-soo work together.
Of course, whenever Kangsu met Harold on the battlefield, he often avoided him.
“I did bother you a bit.”
“Rather than that, why were you looking for me? I don’t think you even remembered me until you heard from Fred.”
“that’s right. It did. And just as I heard the news about you, I have something I want to ask of you.”
“I will refuse.”
“You mean without listening?”
Harold put on a genuinely puzzled expression.
Kang-soo did not care about this.
“Because Harold’s request went beyond the difficult one, and there was always something bothersome.”
“Perhaps because of the work in Iraq? Ah… I used to talk a little bit about you in America.”
“A little?”
Planning errors in the operational area resulted in the isolation of some American units.
At that time, a request for a joint venture came in through Harold’s agency Desert Falcon, which was being dispatched to the nearby area, and Harold proposed a joint operation with Nightwing through Kangsu.
Of course, the operation was successful.
Thanks to Kang-su, who drew attention while destroying the Iraqi tank unit with only his team members, he was able to secure a retreat.
After that, if it is a problem that the US military continues to send love calls to Kang-su, who was a key figure in the operation at the time, then it is a problem…
Kangsu then firmly refused through Nightwing.
“Heh heh heh. I must have been frustrated. I honestly feel sad that you’ve been avoiding me ever since.”
“It’s true that you ran away.”
The problem is that there have been several other similar incidents.
“Ah… that’s right.”
“Anyway, I refused, so I’ll leave.”
With the answer, Kang-soo stood up from his seat.
At this, Harold exclaimed in surprise.
“It’s because I want to entrust you with a security mission.”
“A guard?”
“I know you were in Egisto. I found out by chance Isn’t there a time when the floor here is narrower than expected? So… I’m quitting my job now and working as a freelancer.”
“yes?”
Kangsu did not understand what he meant.
“It’s Yoo So-hyun. Isn’t the manager a cover and protecting her? Like the truck incident yesterday.”
“I am working as a manager, not a bodyguard. And how did you know about the Egisto gun?”

Nightwing and Ejisto are completely separate.
This is because Kang-soo finished washing all his identities when he quit the mercenary and entered Ejisto, the security team.
Besides, when I was in Nightwing, I covered my face with a mask, so only my teammates knew about it.
“I was in that field for a while. I saw you by chance, but I would recognize you. Even though I always wore a mask in the past.”
“I see.”
Soon after, Kangsu sat down again.
Edgeto in Nightwing. It wasn’t going to be a secret now, but it was because I didn’t know if something annoying would happen.
“My only request is security. The person I serve will be coming to Korea in a while. Just do it until he goes back to America.”
“Can’t you do it yourself?”
The current Harold was also strong. And just looking at the atmosphere in the alley earlier, I felt like I could be active as an active soldier.
“Wouldn’t my age be my age? And this is Korea. No matter how good your skills are, there is bound to be a difference between home ground and away matches. And this is your home, isn’t it?”
From the explanation, you can feel the persistence.
At this, Kangsu did not reveal it outwardly and only sighed inwardly.
