Chapter 31

After a while.

Deputy Chief of Investigation Park Seunggil's office.

What, what should we do?

Knock him down somehow, or either you or I might be knocked down.New novel chapters are published on

This was a scene that flashed through Hyunsoo's mind.

Team Leader Heo Insung straightened his back while brushing the dust off his shin.

Team Leader Heo.

At the words of Deputy Chief Park Seunggil, Team Leader Heo Insung approached him. Then, Deputy Chief Park Seunggil put a heavy hand on Heo Insung's shoulder. Park Seunggil's relaxed voice was then heard.

You know that even if I cherish Team Leader Heo, if something goes wrong, I can't cover the money you took, right?

.

You know I'm turning a blind eye to everything you did, from getting paid to tell the perpetrators to selling raid information to gangsters, right? But Lee Hyunsoo, he knows.

Team Leader Heo Insung swallowed dry saliva.

Park Seunggil was the Deputy Chief of Investigation at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency. A person who was mentioned as a potential nominee for the Seoul Commissioner after Commissioner Kim Taek. Soon, this was the person who would sit at the apex of the power of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.

I can only guess at the situation now, but if he try to grab Team Leader Heo's ankle with the backing of Commissioner Kim Taek, won't he be able to catch you?

Deputy Chief Park Seunggil's eyebrows wriggled.

If Lee Hyunsoo is doing well, it's not good for you either.

It was what his eyes meant.

He's the one who caught the Incheon Commissioner. Do you think he'll cut you some slack because you're his team leader?

Team Leader Heo Insung nodded.

In any case, Heo Insung wanted to take the line of Deputy Chief Park Seunggil. Although there were several candidates for the Commissioner of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, he had the most influential line among them, and it was because he had a deep relationship with Commissioner Kim Taek.

Lee Hyunsoo, if it wasn't for him.

Heo Insung nodded with a grim face.

I understand.

Let's do well, Team Leader Heo.

Yes.

After saying that, Heo Insung left the office. Deputy Chief Park Seunggil got up from the table and moved closer to the window.

Rustle- The scenery outside Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency as seen through the curtains.

I thought it was urgent to put Commissioner Kim Taek in the position of Commissioner General..

It didnt matter. If things went wrong, hard work would be done, and good would be seen.

I'll have to deal with it for sure.

Deputy Chief Park Seunggil's eyes reflected in the window rolled.

A young detective who began to gain media attention as a righteous police officer. Plans for destroying this kid passed through his mind.

Then suddenly.

If that's the case.

Deputy Chief Park Seunggil picked up the cell phone that was on the table. Then he called somewhere.

Uh, you know that case last time? Bring me the data. Yeah, that's right. I think I've found the right person.

* * *

At that time, the hallway.

Team Leader Heo Insung was walking with a limp after coming out of Deputy Chief Park Seunggil's room.

Ha, f*ck.

He stopped walking and put one hand on the wall, caressing his shin.

Then.

Does it hurt a lot?

Heo Insung raised his head at the sudden voice.

You!

Then, leaning against the wall, he saw Hyunsoo smiling.

Smiling, he looked as if he knew what happened in the room.

No, you were touching your shins with a crumble face. I was wondering if Deputy Chief Park kicked you in the shin. It looks very hurt.

Hyunsoo looked at Heo Insung's shin. Then, Heo Insung straightened his back and asked as if nothing had happened.

Forget it. But what are you doing here? Do you have something to do with Deputy Chief-nim?

I'm here to see Commissioner-nim, not the Deputy Chief-nim.

Commissioner-nim?

Heo Insung's eyes shook.

Yes. Why? Is there a problem?

No, nothing.

It was as Deputy Chief Park Seunggil had said. If Commissioner Kim Taek and Hyunsoo became closer due to Hyunsoo's performance, not only Deputy Chief Park Seunggil but also himself would be in a cold state.

Heo Insung raised his head and looked at Hyunsoo with cold eyes.

Do your best. I don't know if it'll work out.

Thank you for your support.

Hyunsoo stared at Seo Gaeun quietly. At Hyunsoos gaze, Seo Gaeun smiled.

I know what you're thinking, but I didn't get fired.

Are you saying you quit on your own? That major broadcasting station?

Seo Gaeun nodded.

Even if I did the interview, I couldn't publish the article. The broadcasting company itself censored it so much, and if it's news about someone who has a little connection with the director.

It would have been buried in no time.

I felt skeptical as a reporter. Well, there was a lot of pressure on me to get out on my own, but I moved on my own anyway. I like to write articles that I can write, even for small companies.

It was Seo Gaeun's sincere words.

Hyunsoo, who had been watching her, glanced at his watch and said.

Shall we go eat?

* * *

They headed to a baekbanjip* near Hyunsoo's house.

It was close to lunchtime, so Hyunsoo and Seo Gaeun were eating at a table full of side dishes.

Still, President-nim is quite young, so hes trying to do something like a YouTube channel. These days, more people watch the news through video than through text.

Hyunsoo was also enjoying listening to her company's story, as to how many times they had worked together.

But again, camera and things like that cost a lot of money When I was at the broadcasting station, there was someone in charge of everything, so I didn't have to worry about it.

Seo Gaeun's words continued for a long time. Soon after, however, Hyunsoo's head tilted. No matter how small an Internet media company was, the more he listened to her, the more poor the foundation of the media company seemed.

Hyunsoo, who put down his spoon, opened his mouth.

By the way, how many employees do you have in your company? Since it's a media company, there will be at least 10 people.

There are 2 people.

Pardon?!

Surprised, Hyunsoo's eyes widened.

2people?

Yes.

Seo Gaeun nodded awkwardly.

NoSo, President-nim and Reporter Seo Gaeun-nim. Just two?

Yes Haha.

Ha.

Hyunsoo grabbed his forehead. Hyunsoo wanted to work together with Reporter Seo Gaeun until the end. Even though he had a high regard for Reporter Seo Gaeun as a reporter, he thought it was a company with a certain amount of thought to publish all of her articles.

However.

How's your salary?

Two people, this was the number of people that couldnt be established as an organization called a company. Now that he thought about it, he could understand the disastrous number of views of the articles.

When Seo Gaeun nodded awkwardly.

You can feed her.

Hyunsoo turned his head to a familiar voice.

Grandma?

Hyunsoo's grandmother was standing right next to the table.

What are you surprised at? The two of you are eating in front of the street corner on our way home.

No, but how.

I still have good eyes. Right? I don't use a magnifying glass at this age. I saw you on the way to buy fruit, so I came in.

When the grandmother sat down naturally, Seo Gaeun bowed her head with a bright smile.

How have you been?

Uh uh, yeah. Pretty Reporter-nim. Were you on a date?

No, no, it's not that.

Hyunsoo held his forehead with both hands as if he had a headache. Then the grandmother shook her hand and said.

Aigoo, what are you so worried about? Just buy it.

Huh?

Hyunsoo tilted his head.

What do you mean?

Our pretty Reporter-nim's company is a tiny little one with only two people, but its still just one company, you can just buy it. You have a lot of money.

Reporter Seo Gaeun, who didn't understand, widened her eyes at the grandmother's words.

Buy it?

However, Hyunsoo's eyes sparkled.

In the end, the biggest problem even for the major media outlets, which had plenty of support, was that they lacked the reporters spirit. However, Reporter Seo Gaeun, and the president of TN Media who protects her.

It was a small media company, but if Hyunsoo's support was combined to make it a bigger company.

Hyunsoo's head turned to Seo Gaeun.

Reporter Seo, what's Presidet-nim's number?
