Chapter 436: Season 2 Book 17 Advance and Defense – 5-5 Step on the Tail
December 6th, 2023 09:00 (Macao time 08:00),
At an accommodation in Macau Special Area, Republic of China.
After three days, the Foreign Information 1 and agents gathered again at a cheap hotel in Macau, not in Hong Kong, and had a brief meeting in the living room early in the morning.
Manager Lee Ja-seong, who arrived from Hong Kong at dawn, stood in front of a portable whiteboard in one side of the living room, looked around the agents, and started the meeting.
“Team 1 and Team 2 worked hard for a few days. I think you have probably performed your duties in the format of the membrane while working as an agent for the National Intelligence Service. So I have two pieces of good news.”
Manager Lee Ja-sung made a meaningful expression with a V-shape.
“The first is that our great Manager Namgoong-won has successfully hacked the server in the president’s office and is solving the encrypted documents, and the second is that we received information related to Jjangchen from Qingdao’s gang members.”
Manager Lee Ja-seong started writing something on the whiteboard.
“This is the Hong Kong bank account that Jjangchen uses and the mobile phone number of the Qingdao’s boss.”
Early this morning, I received a begging call from Ryu Qing-ji. He got the information we need, so it was a call to exchange for a cure traetment. In response, Manager Lee Ja-seong met Ryu Qing-ji at a dock warehouse at dawn, gave him a cure treatment, and came to Macau right away after receiving the information.
“The current account number and Qingdao boss’s mobile phone number are being tracked by the Cyber Security Bureau of the headquarters. It is said that the Qingdao boss deposits money into this account once every ten days. If we are lucky, we will be able to know where he is when he’s looking for money, and his cell phone number has also been monitored in real time, so he’ll be able to track his location when contacting him.”
“Manager! Well, I don’t think that’s good news.”
Chief Park Gi-oong, who was very much looking forward to it, gave a shout out.
“I think this is enough…. Since when you were on a mission to feed your mouth? It seems that Chief Park has a lot of complaints about coming here after returning his vacation?”
“Haha, that is not true. It is not. Manager”
At the staring eyes of Lee Ja-sung, Park Gi-oong clapped his hand and gave an awkward smile.
“As I said above, if Manager Namgoong releases the encrypted documents, we will be able to receive more informative information.”
“Manager, I have a question.”
Chief Youn Tae-jin raised his hand high.
“Yeah, what?”
“Didn’t the headquarters say they were monitoring the voice call tracking system or something? What happened to it?”
Unfortunately, I don’t think that we’ve earned much yet. Still, the possibility of getting caught has increased by narrowing the surveillance zone to this area and Southeast Asia. Let’s wait.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Well, then, the Chief’s don’t starve the team members, feed them breakfast, and then get to work!”
Lee Ja-sung, the manager of the department who talks while looking at Oh Hyuck-soo, gave a slight thumbs-up.
“Come on! I’ll make sure to treat breakfast at a nearby hotel.”
Chief Park Gi-oong shouted raising the dollar he exchanged yesterday at the VIP floor.
“Woah! You’ll be caught if you spend your special expenses on your own.”
Chief Yoon Tae-jin, who tapped Chief Park Gi-oong’s shoulder, and Chief Park Gi-oong smiled in front of a bunch of money.
“This is the money I won from the VIP floor last night. Hahaha”
“Hey! Did you gamble on special expenses?”
“Gambling, you son of a b*tch! I just did a little to check the VIP floor!”
“What did you do? Slot machine? BlackJack? Poker? Trantecarant? Baccarat?
“Black Jack!”
“Oh! BlackJack? How much did you win?”
“Don’t worry about that and eat what I buy for you.”
Manager Lee Ja-sung snatched a bundle of money while the two chiefs were scrambling.
“Just spend this on special expenses and grab a quick bite for each team. If things go well later, we’ll have a get-together.”
“Oh! That’s too much.”
When chief Park Gi-oong, who became empty-handed, made a tearful face, Chief Youn Tae-jin put out his tongue and made a joke.
“Come on! Get out of here! Chief of Team Four organize the photos of teams one and two.
“Yes, sir.”

December 6th, 2023 11:00 (New China Time 10:00),
New World Beijing Hotel, Dongcheng, Beijing, New China.
After the successful hacking, Nam Goong-won and his party, who had moved to the New World Beijing Hotel, were concentrating on deciphering the encrypted data among the downloaded data. All of the important data were encrypted.
“What kind of encryption module are these bastards are so delicate? This is so not like the Chinese? Is this also a mistake of China?”
Assistant Manager Na Seong-hyeon, who was counting the nights, muttered as he stretched out.
“Huh, that’s why. I was wondering if it would work out by hacking it, but what is this, what is this encryption module?”
Director Kim Young-gyun, who was happily tapping the keyboard next to him, sighed deeply and lamented.
Tatatat! Tatatatat! Tatat!
As the two agents grumbled, Nam Gung-won silently tapped the keyboard to unlock the encrypted data, concentrating on it.
“After all, Manager Namgoong is full of passion! great.”
“It is not passion! We should hurry up and go home. A foxy wife is waiting at home.”
“Ah! Manager Lee Hye-jin, who is said to be one of the most beautiful in the NIS? I am so envious. I even don’t have a girlfriend that is waiting for me.”
“Aren’t there many female agents in the NIS?”
“Even though what do you do? Every day I go from country to country and do this in the corner of the room. I wish I could move to a full-time job at the Security Bureau. How can I, manager Namgoong, help me with a little bit of strength and give me an internal job?”
“Haha, I got it. I’ll tell the director when this job goes well. So why don’t you just go to work instead of playing?”
“Oh yes, I see. Hey! Chief Kim, what are you doing? You need to be focused.”
“I like the way now. Because I am still young~ I have a good future~”
“Sh*t! You too, try another two or three years. Would you sound like that?”
“haha”

December 6th, 2023 14:00 (Macao time 13:00),
The Sands Cotai Venetian Hotel (Room 2015), Macau Special District, Republic of China.
The man who gambled all night in the VVIP room, returned to his hotel room, drank whiskey and fell asleep, got out of bed, took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, and gulped on it. This man was the man he and Park Gi-oong met the day before in front of the elevator that is connected to the VVIP room.
burp~
The man who let out a dirty burp sat down on the sofa and let out a long sigh.
“How much did I lose in the early morning? damn”
Shaking his head in the spirit of alcohol that he hadn’t woken up to yet, he recalled his memories.
“Twenty thousand dollars? damn!”
It was about 200 million won. This morning wasn’t the only time this guy gambled such a huge sum of money. Since he came to Macau, he has been distributing it to the casino every day.
Shaking his head in annoyance, the man went into the master bedroom, took out the 007 bag from the safe installed on the wall, and returned to the living room sofa.
He put the 007 bag on the table and guessed the password right away. And when he opened the bag, there was a pistol, three magazines, and a transparent box containing passports of various countries and about 10 SIM chips.
The man took a SIM chip out of her transparent box and swapped it with the SIM chip in his Xiaomi smartphone. And then he called somewhere.
“Hey! It’s me! Send me $100,000 by 7 pm tonight!”
<ul>
Yes? suddenly···. Don’t we have 3 more days to collect the money?
</ul>
“What are you so talkative? If I ask to send it, you will send it, send it now, okay?”
-Alright. But, a few days ago…
“A few days ago, what? Why do you stop talking?”
<ul>
Oh, no it’s nothing.
</ul>
“What’s going on?”
<ul>
No. During the expansion of power, there was a minor problem with the men below…
</ul>
“Hey! Shouldn’t that be done by your own hands now? How long do I have to look after your back?”
<ul>
Yes, that’s right. So that’s why I stopped saying.
</ul>
“It’s until seven o’clock in the evening! Don’t be late!”
The man who finished the call before he heard an answer took out his SIM card and crumpled it up. Then he walked over to the living room window and tossed it through the small window at the top.
The man, was naked and not wearing a thread, watched the Macau skyline spread out through the glass for a moment, then put a cigarette in his mouth, lit it, and took a deep breath.
And through the white smoke, a mean smile seemed hazy.

December 6th, 2023 14:00,
National Intelligence Service (Cyber Security Agency), Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Namju.
It is safe to say that all the departments of the Cyber Security Agency are currently hanging on to Professor Woo Jin-gil’s confidentiality leak case. Cyber Security Division 1 operated the tracking program sent by the Parthenon Research Center, and Cyber Security Division 2 was in charge of a voice call tracking system that restores the hijacker’s forged voice and compares and analyzes the voice calls coming and going through all communication networks in the world to track their location. In addition, Cyber Security Division 3 was in charge of account tracking and real-time call monitoring for specific numbers requested by Manager Lee Ja-sung. Lastly, Cyber Security Division 4 was playing a role in supporting Namgoong -won and his group’s hacking mission.
In this way, as all departments are operating 24 hours a day without a break, the 2 departments simultaneously searched for clues that could lead to tracking.
Suddenly, Cyber Security 3 agents started to get busy. At dawn, a suspicious call was made to a specific number from Manager Lee Ja-sung, and as a result of tracking the location, the call was from Macau.
“Are you sure that the location is from Macau?”
“Yes, that’s right. chief!”
“Location! Find out as much detail as possible!”
“Yes, all right.”
The agent tapped the keyboard with quick hand movements. In an instant, the eyes of all agents were focused on the large screen that was installed on the onside of the wall.
The red dot indicating the location flickered, and the digital map of Macau displayed on the screen was enlarged and finally stopped at the Venetian Hotel in the Sands Cotai area.
“Venetian Hotel?”
“Yeah, the signal just ended, and the place where the last signal was caught appears to be the Venetian Hotel.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, Chief”
“Great! Great job! I’m going to report to the manager right away, so keep an eye on him!”
“Yes. All right.”
Meanwhile, excited voices from Cybersecurity 2 and the office also erupted here and there.
It was because there was a response from the voice call tracking system that had not reacted for more than 10 days.
They tried to restore the altered voice, but it wasn’t perfect. Perhaps that was the reason, the location was tracked along with the comparative analysis data that it was about 90% similar in the voice call tracking system that had been silent.
“It’s 90%. What are the odds of being this guy?”
“It’s hard to say for sure, but if it’s a 90% comparative analysis, there’s a high probability that that guy is the culprit.”
“Are you recording the call?”
“Yes, we started recording right after the results of the comparative analysis came out.”
“Great! How about the track of location?”
“We are tracking. Please wait a moment.”
“Hurry!”
Manager Kim Gi-won urged with an excited tone.
“Ah! The location has been secured.”
Cybersecurity 2 and the large-screen digital map also marked the Venetian Hotel in the Sands Cotai area of Macau with a red dot.
“Macau Venetian Hotel?”
“Yes, the tracking result is a Venetian Hotel.”
“B*tch! Finally caught him, is he still on the phone?”
“Ah! He just hung up.”
“Great! We don’t know if he will call again, so everyone waits for emergency standby and Chief Na!” “Yes, manager!”
“Chief Na, check the recorded call file with Woo Eun-seo immediately! As in right now!”
“Yes, all right..”
