Regression Life of a Retired S-Class Mercenary

Episode 16. beach guard

Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center.

Kang-su arrived at the hospital with Kim Bo-ran and entered the hospital room where Yoo So-hyun was moved.

A security team was deployed at the entrance.

Inside, Hong Ah-jin was holding the hand of Yoo So-hyun, who was sleeping.

“Ajin, is it okay for you not to be hospitalized?”

“I’m OK. More than that, Sohyeon unni…”

The appearance of Yoo So-hyun that Ah-jin Hong saw earlier was confusing.

Yoo So-hyun, who always seemed to be bright and radiating light, disappeared and was filled with fear.

“Sister… are you like this because of that?”

“Whoa—I need to look into it more closely, but I guess it hasn’t been cured for now. I also thought everything was better. It’s all my fault.”

Kim Bo-ran also regretted it. Maybe it was because he thought it would be a waste to take a break as a famous celebrity, so he kept pushing Yoo So-hyun’s back.

“Why is it your sister’s fault? Don’t do that.”

“no. If I hadn’t encouraged you, you wouldn’t have gone through this.”

At Kim Bo-ran’s self-reproach, Kang-soo tapped her on the shoulder from the side.

“Once I wake up, I check. It’s never too late to blame yourself then.”

“Mr. Han. Can we go out for a minute and talk?”

“I see.”

It was Steve, standing in the back.

Kangsu and Steve left the hospital room and entered the park on the middle floor.

“Thank you. If it wasn’t for Mr. Han, it would have been a big deal.”

“It’s okay if I don’t. But are you calling me to say that?”

“no. If it’s okay with Mr. Han, I wondered if he would like to work with us at the US branch of Blue Guard.”

Before arriving at the hospital, Steve ordered another employee at the studio complex to check the CCTV or witnesses to prove the situation.

And some data arrived from the Blue Guard investigation team, which moved quickly.

Among them, there was a black box of a rental car built nearby for filming.

Steve held out his phone with the video on it.

It was filmed from a little distance away, so the face was not clear.

Contextually, I could tell who it was.

On the screen, Kang-soo showed tremendous movement and subdued the four men in an instant.

“All I could think of was how great it was. And my negligence was great. I should have taken Mr. Han’s advice…”

“The video must have been there from the beginning, right?”

“That’s right.”

It was only replayed from the part where Kangsu began to subdue the men.

“It will be clear evidence.”

“We have also forwarded it to our legal representative. What about the suggestion I gave you earlier…? Of course, the salary and other conditions can be prepared according to Mr. Han’s skills.”

It was a look that Kangsu really coveted.

That’s why Kang-soo’s skills on the screen were amazing.

He was also curious about Kang-soo’s career right away, but Steve was impatient and decided to propose it first.

“I’m sorry, but I belong to JIN Entertainment. Regarding my affiliation, you can talk to CEO Jin Soo-hyeok.”

The other day, Yoo Chae-yeon also tried to transfer Kang-soo to Blue Guard.

Of course, there is no particular problem even if the precipitation is moved. But in the US, the problem is different.

It seemed that if I didn’t answer properly, I would continue to bother him.

So, first of all, I tossed it to my father, Jin Soo-hyuk.

“I must have been in a hurry.”

“You can.”

“I will propose again after receiving approval from CEO Jin through the line of the Blue Guard branch manager.”

“All right.”

By that time, Kang-soo will already be in Korea before the offer comes.

Made it so you don’t bother asking more.

There was no problem unless it was only in the US that would keep bothering me.

Monica Shaw left the Los Angeles Police Station with Albert and got into her car.

At that moment, Monica’s temper exploded.

“aaah!”

It felt as if the windows of a large car were shaking at the sound.

Then, he frantically pounded the armrest of the poor seat with his small fist.

“What! What! Why are these crap things disturbing me!”

Monica, who continued to scream, was breathing heavily.

Waiting for the time, Albert stepped out.

“First of all, Fred decided to carry everything.”

“How much money did I give you! Of course you should!”

“And… I’ve been informed that director Hawk O’Brien has cut Monica out of the audition.”

“···what? I? why!”

It was a look that I honestly didn’t know why.

Albert let out a sigh.

“The outside world says that whether or not they were involved in the incident, a connection cannot be ruled out.”

“Fred did it wrong! I said it was over with nothing to do with it! you are the manager! Then you should have done something!”

“Didn’t I come out to be investigated as well? I’ll check again and then I’ll tell you.”

Perhaps because of the inappropriate answer, Monica’s eyebrows were crumpled like wrinkles in the sky.

“What are they going to do?”

“Nothing came out.”

“no! What are you going to do!”

It was still not giving up.

I wanted to touch it in some way.

“Monica, all of Los Angeles is abuzz with this. Even if Fred decides to carry them, if harm goes to them, they won’t be able to get out this time!”

“killer! Hire a killer and kill them. Trying to obscurely crush the face seems to keep causing problems. right?”

“Craz…”

Albert almost said ‘Crazy’ for a moment, but then shut his mouth.

Even if it was crazy, it looked like it was firmly crazy.

belt ring –

Just then, a message arrived on Albert’s smartphone.

After confirming the contents, Albert became contemplative and looked around the inside of the car hastily.

“what? what’s the matter?”

“Now, wait a minute.”

Despite Monica’s question, Albert seemed to be looking for something and forcibly removed the air conditioner hole next to the driver’s seat.

Then, a small device came out of the lid of the air conditioner.

“What is that?”

“Ka, it seems to be a camera…”

Albert played the message he had just received and showed it to Monica.

[First of all, Fred decided to carry everything and go.]

[How much money I gave you! Of course it should!]

.

.

[killer! They hire killers and kill them. Trying to obscurely crush the face seems to keep causing problems. right?]

The situations we just talked about were captured.

That it was sent as a message to Albert meant that someone had recorded it in real time.

“This, how is this…”

belt ring –

Another message arrived. As before, the caller ID was not stamped.

[Don’t touch.]

Even though it was a short sentence, it meant a lot.

Along with Albert, there was no way Monica didn’t know either.

gulp-

I couldn’t even guess when the camera was planted.

If it was before that…? And if it is installed not only in the car but at home…?

Of course, it would be difficult to prove it legally.

However, if it is released as a broadcasting station, the story is different. If that happens, everything will end with Monica’s life.

“…”

Monica, who had been noisy until just now, involuntarily shut her mouth.

belt ring –

Above the video came an alarm with the next message arriving.

Monica and Albert, who confirmed that, had no choice but to harden their expressions.

“What are you doing?”

Kim Bo-ran was curious when Kang-soo, who returned to the hospital room, did something on his cell phone.

“I just sent something to a friend.”

“A friend?”

“Does it look like you have no friends?”

Of course not many.

Representatively, Gong Chi-young. And Gong Chi-young… Also Gong Chi-young… Jeong-do?

‘Isn’t it…?’

For a moment, Kang-soo felt a bit embarrassed.

Kim Bo-ran smiled sadly as if to give an extra boost.

“I heard you lived in the mountains. So it is.”

“I do have a few close friends.”

In the past, PD Choi Yoon-ho was such a person.

However, now that friendship has disappeared and only voices occasionally come into my head.

Then the door to the hospital room opened and Steve, who had been out for a while, returned.

“Monica Shaw and her manager, Albert, are released from the police station not guilty.”

“What do you mean!”

Hong Ah-jin, who was next to Kim Bo-ran and Yoo So-hyun, was startled.

This is because, no matter who sees it, Fred and the men are just execution culprits, and the real culprit is Monica Shaw.

“Fred Barron confessed to being the main culprit.”

“This is nonsense! Why would Monica’s bodyguard do that to Sohyeon and Ahjin? Of course Monica ordered it, so it would have been!”

Kim Bo-ran was so dumbfounded at the same time that she was angry, and even her face heated up.

“I have protested, but it is said that it is difficult to reverse it unless the statement changes in matters where the main culprit has been decided.”

“Is it the same with the legal team?”

“Transcripts or videos containing situations directly requested. At least not if there are no eyewitnesses who saw it.”

The incident that happened at the audition venue in Los Angeles is already a big issue.

While Kim Bo-ran reported to Yoo Chae-yeon, he heard about the uproar in Korea.

Arrows would fly from many directions if it did not show tangible results. However, it was a problem because I didn’t know yet whether the direction of the arrow would be Monica or the agency.

“If you do something wrong, you can only get scolded for not properly protecting Sohyeon. At least that much should be avoided.”

“Besides, there is no guarantee that Monica will not target Yoo So-hyun again. I think it would be nice to return to Korea as soon as I recover.”

“How is it in that state?”

Yoo So-hyun still couldn’t come to her senses.

The impact of the trauma was great.

“If you don’t have to be in the hospital, how about a safe house? This is the safe house of the Witness Protection Program operating here. It will be safe because it is untracked.”

At Steve’s suggestion, Kim Bo-ran seriously thought about it.

If it was Yoo So-hyun’s condition right now, it was difficult to be active for a while.

Rather than anxiously watching the situation, it was right to ensure safety first.

In the meantime, Kang-soo, who was leaning by the window, spoke.

“I don’t think you need to use the shelter.”

“What do you mean?”

“Monica Shaw opened the interview.”

Boran Kim and Steve. Even Hong Ah-jin, who was taking care of Yoo So-hyun, approached Kang-soo and watched the live video on her smartphone.

[I gave a lot of hurt to those who came from Korea due to my bodyguard’s negligence. I am deeply saddened by this and have decided to take responsibility as an employee. In addition to refraining from activities in the future, I hope that many people will forgive me for the next year…]

Monica bit her teeth lightly and continued.

[···We will make sure to come out and pick up the trash on Santa Monica Beach once a week. I’m really sorry.]

Of course, the name of the beach is Santa Monica. It was the beach representing Los Angeles.

At such an announcement, the three people who were looking at Kang-soo’s smartphone were taken aback.

“Are you crazy…?”
