chapter 22
Episode 22. meaningless tug of war
Kangsu was quietly sitting at the far end of the conference room.
When their eyes suddenly met, they didn’t know what to answer.
“I have nothing to do with filming the drama.”
just a manager It’s been less than a month since I joined JIN Entertainment.
However, it is irrelevant to those who know Kang-soo’s real face.
“you’re right. Manager Han Kang-soo is a person who helps So-hyun Yoo and manager Bo-ran Kim. By the way, he is the person in charge of security operations.”
Jin Soo-hyeok wondered what the hell was going on.
Just a few days ago, in Los Angeles, not only had he beaten down men from the Foreign Legion, but he had also shot himself.
Of course, the black box video discovered at that time was taken by Jin Soo-hyeok to prevent it from being exposed outside.
In addition, today, he even had a confrontation with Hawk O’Brien’s bodyguards at the commercial set.
It was an unavoidable situation, but it was natural that it was not easily understood.
“I am a thorough talentist to the point of being proud of myself. CEO Jin Soo-hyeok looks like that too, doesn’t it?”
JIN Entertainment, along with Blue Guard, is a company that CEO Jin Soo-hyeok built and succeeded from basic funds.
Jamie found out about JIN Entertainment when Hawk modeled Yoo So-hyun for her role in <My Neighbor Diablo>.
So I was sure.
“You are not wrong. But shouldn’t we leave it to someone more qualified?”
“The qualification I see is skill. Han Kang-soo has enough of that.”
At that moment, Jin Soo-hyeok’s mind was full of questions.
‘Does Kang-soo have something other than special forces? What are you hiding?’
The background of the classified special forces unit, Kim Cheol-ho, head of the Blue Guard headquarters, assured that it would be difficult for anyone to know.
Of course, you can’t be sure of that.
“What do you think Manager Han Kang-soo thinks?”
In the meantime, Kim Bo-ran had something to guess, so he pushed his face into Director Yoo Chae-yeon and whispered.
Soon, Yoo Chae-yeon was slightly surprised as her eyes rolled here and there.
With Jin Soo-hyeok’s question, the gaze turned to Han Kang-soo again.
“I . . . cannot take on heavy responsibilities. So just go there.”
“I will ask you something. Do you know Jamie and Kangsu from the beginning?”
Kim Bo-ran told about the behavior of the two people he saw on the set.
Soon there was no significant change in Jamie’s expression.
“I once visited Korea and got help.”
“Any help?”
“He helped me when I was almost in danger. I knew my skills then. Looking at it today, it seems that his skills are still the same, so I wanted to get help this time too.”
Their encounter in the South Ossetian war is a top secret.
In the first place, the mere fact that an ordinary person entered a war zone could have been a subject of great controversy.
A person sent a request to a mercenary to save a person.
Of course, the existence of the mercenary should not be known, so Jamie made a suitable excuse.
“You have to distinguish between public and private life.”
Who would want to take on a heavy responsibility just because they got some help?
Jin Soo-hyeok said that, but he couldn’t erase the uncomfortable corner.
“sorry. My greed was too much. Then, will Han Kang-soo continue to work as Yoo So-hyun’s manager?”
“If there is no immediate change in personnel, it will be.”
Jamie tries to look ahead. Jin Soo-hyeok boasts the ultimate defense.
The atmosphere sinks heavily in the subtle altercation between the two.
“It sounds like you’re not sure if you’re going to move Mr. Han Kang-soo.”
“Because I, the representative, have the authority to appoint personnel.”
“Inappropriate personnel transfers can lead to mishaps. I want to tell you that there are times when it is better to bump into something than to try to avoid it.”
To Jin Soo-hyeok, Kang-soo is the son he found after 31 years.
Of course, no one knows that except for Yoo Chae-yeon and the person concerned.
I wanted to move him to a safer and more peaceful place, but Jamie’s words caught the heart of such a naive father.
Woo-woo-woo-woo-
In the quiet atmosphere, the cell phone vibrated.
A message had arrived on Kangsu’s cell phone.
“I found the traces of Savnak.”
The sender is Gong Chi-young.
Seeing the content, Kang-soo’s expression instantly turned cold.
“I’ve got something important to do, so I’m leaving.”
Soon, Kang-soo got up from his seat and kicked out the conference room door.
The quiet atmosphere in the meeting room sank more heavily.
At the same time, Jin Soo-hyeok was worried.
‘What’s the matter, why did you leave like that…?’
It was because Kang-soo’s expression was too serious just now.
.
.
.
Kangsu left Jin Entertainment and took a taxi.
I ran directly to Yongsan Station. It took a little over 30 minutes to get there because the traffic was blocked.
“What did you find!”
I shouted as soon as I opened the door to Gong Chi-young’s World Cup PC room and entered.
Some of the people who were immersed in the game were surprised by the appearance, then immersed again.
“madam-! You almost dropped the album!”
Wearing white gloves, Gong Chi-young was cleaning Yoo So-hyun’s limited edition solo 2nd mini album with an ostrich hair duster.
“Sorry sorry. But how did you find it?”
“Wait a minute.”
After saying that, Gong Chi-yeong carefully picked up the album and carried it behind the counter. The door to the secret space opened and there was an altar (?) that I hadn’t seen before.
In the middle of the altar, which looks like it was made of overlapping silk, So-Hyun Yoo’s album was placed.
“What… isn’t that what you’re summoning?”
“This is what extreme devotion is!”
“Why don’t you come visit the set instead?”
“Ugh! What kind of rude words! A true fan doesn’t carelessly visit the space where the actor concentrates!”
Gong Chi-young’s expression was more serious than ever since the last time he was angry with fingerprints.
“···sorry. Show me what you find.”
I was afraid to ask more.
Soon, Gong Chi-young took off his white gloves and turned on the computer monitor.
When the screen came in, the keyboard was pounding busily, and the contents came to mind.
“account?”
Obviously, it is about account transfer.
“Savnak’s mercenary unit management account. It’s an old one, but there are traces of it being used two years ago.”
“Wasn’t there nothing the other day?”
The first time Kang-soo asked for it, he remembered that the account was also searched.
“It was a liquidity account of an organization called ‘Bluton Reform’ that Savnak ran during his activities. This is a reserve account. A place where corporations keep public money.”
Bluton Lepon. It was an extremist organization that means ‘bloody reform’ in German.
There, the worst mercenary unit, named Savnak, was used as a stage for civil war and war with other countries.
However, Bluton Reform disappeared after Savnak disappeared, leaving only minor traces.
“How was it written two years ago?”
“A considerable amount of money has been moved over four occasions. About $30 million in all?”
“In terms of Hanwha… 36 billion?”
It couldn’t have been a huge amount.
But why? where? Curiosity continued to build.
“Not a lot. Check where the deposit was made. right! here!”
[Infectus Investment]
It means ‘to dye’ in Latin.
Kangsu pondered as he ran his hand over his chin at the name of the company he had never seen before.
“I think it is an investment company. Are you still there?”
“It’s running just fine. The head office is in Italy, and there is also a branch in Korea.”
“Italy?”
“Isn’t it very polite?”
‘Egisto’, where Kang-su and Gong Chi-young worked together, is a special security company in Italy. It was a huge place where the cost of security per day ranged from as little as 50,000 dollars to as much as 500,000 dollars.
Of course, most of the clients requested long-term rather than short-term.
“Are there any people you know now…?”
It was also a place where you had to walk as much as you could to protect your life.
“Wouldn’t it be? I will retire in 4-5 years at the most. It’s been three years since I quit.”
“At least it was two years ago. I’ll figure out this one. Anything else out there?”
Even if you go to Italy, it is difficult to contact Ejisto.
This is because all of the bodyguards came to Italy as smuggling and are so thorough that they do not even leave a record.
Kangsu did not expect it right away because of that reason.
“For now, this account is everything. Infectus Investment is an investment management company, so to understand the flow of internal funds, you have no choice but to hack it yourself.”
At this, Kang-soo grabbed Gong Chi-young by the shoulder.
“It can’t get there.”
“know. Any place dealing with black money would be really dangerous.”
In Korea, a violent organization. Overseas, yakuza, triads, mafia and so on. Funds handled in the back world are called black money.
It is money earned through crimes such as drugs, human trafficking, private loans, and illegal real estate.
“If you don’t know, please check the other accounts operated by Savnak or Bluton Reform. Those who disappeared may be crawling out again.”
If Savnak is the head, Bluton Reform is the body.
And if the body doesn’t disappear, it’s like a monster whose head keeps appearing endlessly.
When Kang-soo was in Nightwing, he had a hard time hitting such a place.
“Next time bring me a pen.”
“pen···? pen?”
Tadadak- Tak.
Gong Chi-young changed the screen to the keyboard and displayed a picture of a ballpoint pen.
“Three-color ballpoint pen with pote-pote characters that Yoo So-hyun cherished and made herself!”
“ah······.”
It was a three-color ballpoint pen with a bumpy potato-shaped character on it.
At that moment, Kang-soo remembered a ballpoint pen with a funny picture on display inside a glass shelf in the PR department hallway.
And my head hurt.
“Is this also a limited edition?”
“No-oh-no-! rare item. But since it came out so long ago, it’s hard to find.”
“I will try to speak.”
“request!!!”
Kangsu prayed that this time there would be nothing left.
.
.
.
“A pote-potte tri-color ballpoint pen? Of course!”
A few days later, Kang-su went to pick up Yoo So-hyun for a fan meeting schedule.
When I asked, the answer came straight away.
“Ah, I see…”
“Is your friend looking for you like last time?”
“I see.”
“If you said you were a fan, would you come to the fan meeting today?”
It was the day of the fan meeting Yoo So-hyun had been waiting for.
Of course, I couldn’t call all the fans. The fan cafe operated by the company ran a lottery without exception and only 100 people were selected.
“Perhaps he would not have come.”
“why? He said he was a fan.”
It was because Gong Chi-young had the temperament of an outsider.
“Well, it’s because he’s a friend who hides a lot.”
“is it so? hmm······.”
“When the two of you finish talking, do you want to leave?”
Kim Bo-ran was sitting next to Yoo So-hyun and waiting.
“Then we will depart.”
It was a 30-minute drive to the fan meeting place.
It was planned to rent a small theater near Hongik University Station.
“Yoo So-hyun! Yoo So-hyun! Yoo So-hyun!”
Kang-soo saw Gong Chi-yeong who was extremely excited there.
