Chapter 30

Meanwhile, on the 1st floor of PSB, in the Director’s room. Someone was standing by the window, watching chaos outside with a worried look. This man, a middle-aged man with a hint of graying hair, was Director Sang Yugeun. He looked outside the window for a while, then turned around and spoke.

“So… what you’re saying is that the medieval-fashioned man in the interrogation room is related to the Fire Head Gang? Is that it, Vice Director?”

The person he was talking to was Vice Director Hou Ilgyung. He didn’t look all too well even when he was sitting at the couch inside the room. The medical team that came out to the office early helped put back all disjointed bones back into place, but the damage did not allow him to move freely. However, even though he was injured, he was the only one alive from last night’s incident so he couldn’t go to the hospital. Instead, he was taken into the director’s room and was being questioned.

“I’ve told you already! The 5th Special Force units were called in to work on that unidentified Yulinian…”

Sang Yugeun walked over to his desk and pressed a button. A beam came down from the ceiling, then it began drawing a 3D image over the round desk in the middle of the room. The image was the video of the 4th interrogation room on the 5th underground floor.

“Huh?”

Within the video, Vice Director Hou Ilgyung was sitting down on the interrogation chair, sleeping and snoring. He seemed to be sleeping very soundly. He was told that every security camera footage had been erased, but it seemed like this one was intact.

‘I was sleeping like that?’

Hou Ilgyung couldn’t understand how he slept that well in the midst of that chaos. He became frustrated and tried to explain quickly.

“D-director! T-that is…”

*BAM*

Sang Yugeun then slammed the desk with his fist and shouted loudly.

“THERE WERE TWO! Two videos inside Song Wigang’s USB that he was hiding WITH his teeth! One was sent to the public and the other was this. I couldn’t bear to let this one go public and bring shame to our PSB! Do you know what I mean?!”

When Song Wigang’s dead body was found, they realized that he was hiding a USB thumb drive inside his mouth. PSB Agents located Captain Song Wigang by the 5th floor where the surveillance room was located, so they concluded that Song Wigang had been killed while trying to escape with the USB drive. Due to this incident, Song Wigang was being hailed as a hero within the PSB.

“Even the Captain sacrificed his life to secure the evidence and you… of all people… a Vice Director tied up and sleeping in the interrogation room? This is absurd.”

“D-director! You are mistaken! That was not how it…”

“I don’t want to listen to your excuses anymore. You are being suspended until further notice after the investigation. Be on your way now.”

Vice Director Hou Ilgyung jumped up from his seat in shock. He then quickly ran up to Sang Yugeun, went down on his knees, and begged with teary eyes.

“Director! This is all wrong! L-look at my shoulder! And my arm! That Yulinian captured me and tortured…”

That’s when they heard a knock on the door. Sang Yugeun then tried to send away whoever came over as the Vice Director was still within the room.

“I don’t know what it is, but let’s do it later.”

-Director, this is urgent.

Sang Yugeun then had to have the messenger come in urgently. Hou Ilgyung got up from his knees and sat on the couch again, pretending he wasn’t begging earlier. A detective walked into the room and gave some documents to Sang Yugeun.

“What kind of urgent can there be when… huh?”

Sang Yugeun’s face became grim when he saw a Simyang City Mayor engraving on the documents. At the bottom of the document, there was someone’s name and a signature.

Near the guest room of the PSB Homicides Department, a man in a clean suit was drinking coffee with a casual look on his face. He was Jo Yusung, the man promised to take Chun Yeowun out of the PSB within 12 hours.

“Hah.”

There was another middle-aged man with a scruffy mustache sitting across Jo Yusung with an uncomfortable look. He was Oh Yubung, the 1st team leader of the Homicides Department. He didn’t seem to be glad that Jo Yusung was here.

“I don’t know what you’ve brought this time, but give it up. As you know, it’s not good timing and our Director is not someone who will succumb to outer forces. It will not end up as you wish.”

The reason why Oh Yubung was speaking like this was simple. Jo Yusung had brought a letter requesting ‘that man’ to be freed from the interrogation room. He even brought an attorney from a famous law firm within Simyang City.

“I don’t know. We’ll see about that.”

Jo Yusung smiled and answered calmly. Oh Yubung frowned and shook his head at Jo Yusung’s arrogant attitude.

‘Ugh, what an asshole.’

However, he was certain that this man was not going to get what he wanted. The PSB was going through chaos right now, and the man inside the interrogation room was taken in because of the direct order from the city itself. There was no way to take him out.

“Hah. Enjoy your coffee while you still can and get ready to leave. It will be hard to leave through those reporters while…”

It was then.

“Boss!”
