Chapter 97.2: Let’s do this until the End (2)
Seok Kang-Ho was waiting for Kang Chan at the entrance of the apartment, so it didn’t take long for him to get into the car.
“Did something good happen?” Seok Kang-Ho asked.
“Not exactly.”
As they left, Kang Chan told Seok Kang-Ho everything that had happened the day before.
“What? So you’re saying that you left me out for something like that?” Seok Kang-Ho asked afterward.
Rather than getting mad about Yoon Bong-Sup’s plan or Cho Il-Kwon’s petty tricks, this fucker was spouting bullshit about something irrelevant instead.
“Hey! That’s not the point!” Kang Chan exclaimed.
“Then what’s the problem?!”
“Did you even listen to what I told you?”
Dumbfounded, Kang Chan burst out with laughter as they arrived at Misari.
After ordering coffee and lighting up a cigarette, Kang Chan thought he had returned to his everyday life with Seok Kang-Ho again.
“Do you know we’ve got a break until this coming week?” Seok Kang-Ho asked.
“Really?”
It didn’t matter to Kang Chan, though, since Lanok had said that he would take him out of school in the second semester.
Kang Chan took a sip of his coffee when it was served to him, then his phone rang. He had forgotten about this fucker.
“Hello?”
- Captain, it’s Smithen.
“Got news for me?”
- I’ve already met all of them and even slept with one.
Already?
Smithen had gotten some progress, but he hadn’t said anything important yet.
“So, did you get something?”
- This is amazing. I think I’ll be able to sleep with four people in a week. Captain, this task is fantastic. It’s also thrilling.
Kang Chan glared at the innocent river. He didn’t send Smithen to the women just so he could sleep with them.
“Smithen, I’m asking if you’ve obtained any information.”
- No, captain. It’s an interim report.
“Alright. Call me if you get information.”
Kang Chan tightly gritted his teeth after he hung up, so Seok Kang-Ho discreetly observed his behavior.
“What did he say that’s making you angry?” Seok Kang-Ho asked.
“Smithen said that he even slept with one of the women yet hasn’t gotten any information yet.”
“He’s an idiot,” Seok Kang-Ho swore when Kang Chan held up his coffee.
It was strange, but this fucker wasn’t close with their crew members in their previous life. He had always acted as if he was bullying everyone by himself, so he only followed Kang Chan that much more.
“If we don’t have anything else to do, then let’s go visit Manager Kim,” Seok Kang-Ho suggested.
“Let me think about it.”
It wasn’t like Kang Chan hadn’t thought about doing that as well.
“Half of his members died, and the other half had to be rescued from captivity because he failed to accomplish the operation. He probably wants to die right now, so I’m not sure about us suddenly going over to visit him. If I were him, I doubt I would want to meet anyone right now.”
“That’s true.” Seok Kang-Ho nodded while picking up the coffee cup.
“Right! President Kim Tae-Jin was upset that you never contacted him, not even once. I told him that we should eat together sometime, to which he replied that he’s going to be waiting with bated breath.”
“Should I call him right now, then?” Seok Kang-Ho asked while grinning. Kang Chan nodded since it didn’t seem like a bad idea.
“Hello? Mr. President? It’s Seok Kang-Ho.”
Seok Kang-Ho happily began conversing with Kim Tae-Jin. However, without even doing small talk, he immediately started to explain how to get to Misari.
“Please take your time.”
Seok Kang-Ho put down his phone, then said, “He said that he’s coming here.”
Deciding to rest for the day, Kang Chan smirked while looking at the riverside in the distance.
Yang Jin-Woo. How do I kill that fucker?
***
The official office of Yang Jin-Woo, the chairman of Suh Jeong Group, was located on the twenty-ninth floor of the Suh Jeong Group’s company building in Teheran-ro in Gangnam.
He used an entire floor that was close to thirty-five thousand square feet as his office. Moreover, even though it was Sunday, everyone in the secretary’s office had come to work. Thirteen employees were on stand-by with grave expressions as well.
The floor had five meeting rooms, two waiting rooms, three conference rooms, an office with a desk, and a bedroom that had a shower facility. Lastly, there was a lounge where people could practice golf. It also had simple exercise equipment.
Yang Jin-Woo sat facing Kwak Do-Young, looking uncomfortable and displeased, in the first meeting room.
“Does this country even have laws? The chief secretary of Suh Jeong-Group got beat up so much in his own office that he got crippled, yet you just want me to sit back and watch? What on earth are you guys thinking?” Yang Jin-Woo asked.
Kwak Do-Young sighed deeply. His head was slightly lowered.
“I don’t know how busy Chairperson Huh is, but I understand what he’s thinking now since he has already sent you twice. From this moment onward, I’m going to take care of everything by myself, so please tell him that.”
“Mr. Chairman, I don't think you need to take this that far.”
Displeased, Yang Jin-Woo smiled. “For as long as it’s for Chairperson Huh, I’ll act as I please. If people threaten me for such a shallow reason, then I’m confident that I won’t die even if I were alone. I’ll deal with this myself from now on, so please tell him that I don’t want him to contact me for the time being.”
Yang Jin-Woo turned his head toward the window, then suddenly glared at Kwak Do-Young. “My god! This isn’t even a presidential election, yet they still took ten billion won from me to bring in dozens of people into the country. Ten billion won! Even so, you still want me to hold in my anger? They even hurt Chief Secretary Cho, who had been working with me all this while, after taking the money! If I said I would pay ten billion won for Kang Chan’s head, there would be a ton of people who would bring it to me on a tray tonight!”
“Mr. Chairman, we have made all the preparations needed to deal with Kang Chan. Our plans were ruined only because Moon Jae-Hyun interfered in the middle of it all.”
“Moon Jae-Hyun?! Until when are you going to use that guy as an excuse?! He doesn’t even have a good background! Considering how bad the current situation is, can you all still reclaim the regime even without the rail being connected to us?! There are even labor unions being formed in the building that I’m in, not to mention factories! Is that all you can do? Blame Moon Jae-Hyun even though you guys have taken more than twenty billion won from me within the past few months while dogs are sitting and facing each other at a dining table and are asking for the utensils?!” Yang Jin-Woo’s veins bulged with anger, showing his determination. It also evidenced that he had concluded that he should no longer expect anything from Suh Sang-Soo.
“Everything would turn out fine if we can just get the position of Director of the National Intelligence Service,” Kwak Do-Young explained.
“When will that happen? After I’ve been rendered severely disabled like Chief Secretary Cho and am already lying in a hospital? I’ve already taken measures.”
“Mr. Chairman…”
“How dare you glare at me!”
“That wasn’t my intention. I’m sorry, Mr. Chairman.” Kwak Do-Young immediately lowered his head. “I shouldn’t say this, but I have something to tell you so you wouldn’t misunderstand us further.”
Yang Jin-Woo, who had turned his head toward the window, shifted his eyes toward Kwak Do-Young.
“The chairperson and the assemblyman are in China right now,” Kwak Do-Young continued.
“Hmph! They want Chinese food for lunch, huh?”
“Moon Jae-Hyun had sent over a specialized team to Mongolia.”
Yang Jin-Woo’s head slightly turned toward Kwak Do-Young.
“We’re having a hard time digging out the details, but we know China’s senior official and the chairperson have failed to accomplish the matter they had been preparing with the utmost secrecy because of Moon Jae-Hyun’s actions.”
“So in short, you’re saying that they lost my money!” Yang Jin-Woo yelled.
“China currently has thirteen bodies affiliated with the Korean specialized team. This is expected to receive widespread media coverage on the internet and the news sooner or later. Their identities will be kept hidden, but wouldn’t at least one person know who they are if their faces are disclosed? What do you think would happen if people find out that Moon Jae-Hyun is the one who sent them to Mongolia?”
“We’re going to do that to Moon Jae-Hyun?”
“Moon Jae-Hyun is hard to deal with. However, this would force the Director of the National Intelligence Service to step down. China will also state that they won’t pursue the matters any longer or cause more trouble. The chairperson and the assemblyman are still currently busy in China,” Kwak Do-Young added.
Before Yang Jin-Woo knew it, he was already looking straight at Kwak Do-Young.
“Anyway! I’ll keep an eye out. I’ve already done something on our end, so please keep that in mind!” Yang Jin-Woo said.
“I’ll be looking forward to your wise judgment.” Kwak Do-Young bowed his head.
Yang Jin-Woo opened the drawer of the end table, then pushed an envelope toward Kwak Do-Young. “Here! I’m giving you this to show my gratitude for how good you’ve been to me, even if we don’t get to see each other in the future anymore.”
“Please think about the chairperson’s passion, Mr. Chairman. I’ll contact you when we get good news.”
“You should take it. If you refuse, then I really will stop meeting up with you anymore, assistant Kwon.”
Kwak Do-Young sighed quietly as he put the envelope in his inner chest pocket. “I’ll leave now.”
He then went out of the meeting room after saying goodbye in a disciplined manner.
“Hmmm.” Yang Jin-Woo sighed, then held up the phone on the end table and called someone.
“What happened? The Serpent Venimeux? Yeah! We should use a renowned organization like theirs! We shouldn’t become like Chief Secretary Cho, who just tried to steal money! That’s right! We should send Asians instead of Westerners. Be quick, but be careful!”
After ending the call with a satisfied expression, Yang Jin-Woo pressed the intercom on top of the end table.
- Yes, Mr. Chairman.
“Come inside for a moment.”
- Understood, Mr. Chairman.
Click.
The door opened, and a neatly dressed female employee walked toward Yang Jin-Woo. She looked quite young.
When Yang Jin-Woo walked to the window, the female employee’s expression hardened.
“What are you doing? Why aren’t you coming here?” Yang Jin-Woo asked.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Chairman.”
The female employee walked to the window with her head lowered, and Yang Jin-Woo roughly pulled her toward him.
Bang.
She bumped against the window as Yang Jin-Woo pulled her skirt upward from her back. He then pulled down her underwear even quicker.
“Bend over already!” Yang Jin-Woo yelled.
Yang Jin-Woo was too busy pulling the female employee’s waist toward him with one hand and unbuckling his belt with the other. Hence, he didn’t see the female employee close her eyes in shame.
