Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 166
31. Crack (3)
Hyunmin Yoon.
In fact, it has been a long time since he was on board the dragon.
Kim Hyun-seong investigated people identified as members of Heaven, including Lim Cheol-hyung, and found people who were in a relationship of mutual benefit. Hyunmin Yoon was one of them. Born as the successor to the Taeyang Group, he lived a solid life from a young age, but in order to be recognized by everyone and inherit the group, the process of proving himself was essential.
at that time.
Hyunmin Yoon benefited from the Golden Circle.
To be precise, we had overlapping interests with the members of Heaven and laid the foundation to rise to a higher position together with them.
However, it was not conclusive.
Because so many interests were intertwined around the Golden Circle, there were more than ten people who seemed more powerful than Yoon Hyun-min. Then came the tax investigation of Myungjin Construction. When the Golden Circle moved to attack Myungjin Construction, the possibility of Yoon Hyun-min rose rapidly as they identified several more people, including National Assembly member Lee Kyung-cheol. Information obtained through Kim Pan-ho is that the Taeyang Group was the background that helped Lee Gyeong-cheol solve his financial problems when he was experiencing a crisis as a politician. In a situation where not a single exception was missed, at some point Yoon Hyun-min turned into a person who was in the top five.
‘The reason why we still cannot confirm that it is Yoon Hyun-min is that he may not be the owner of the Golden Circle, but just one person who participated in that force like others. ‘It is impossible to confirm based on the evidence so far.’
Crude speculation was unacceptable.
Definitely.
We had to find the mastermind.
The moment a single attack attempted with full preparation ends up targeting a person who is not actually behind it, all of Kim Hyun-seong’s plans will fall apart. Only by identifying the person behind it can you anticipate the opponent’s counterattack. Even after selecting several people, Kim Hyun-seong never once thought he had reached the top.
Inattention was poison.
Meanwhile, I finally got a crucial clue.
‘The moment when infighting breaks out in the Golden Circle. Heavenly member Lim Cheol-hyung visited Yoon Hyun-min.’
A thunderbolt struck my head.
The real mastermind behind the Golden Circle.
Hyunmin Yoon.
It was clearly him.
* * *
Like a puzzle, the information that had been disorganized fit into place.
Lee Gyeong-cheol and Lim Cheol-hyung, etc.
The benefits that Hyunmin Yoon has gained so far because of them.
This was noticeable precisely from the time the Golden Circle was created, and above all, the article was published in a hurry right after the meeting with Lim Cheol-hyung, which was incongruous with the activities of Yoon Hyun-min, whose schedule was quite controlled. Even in the industry, the stock market experienced unintended fluctuations due to the unexpected meeting of two giants.
That’s not all.
The first events of the Golden Circle.
Most of the cases that were presumed to have been solved in the earliest days involved those in power related to the Taeyang Group who believed in the value of Yoon Hyun-min’s name and entrusted him with the request. From the moment one person was confirmed, evidence piled up. If it wasn’t for this person, there wasn’t even the slightest deviation, which was hard to believe.
It was certain.
It was Hyunmin Yoon.
I stared at the whiteboard for a long time.
I still need to go through the process of confirming that it’s Yoon Hyun-min, but for the first time, I felt like I couldn’t put a person into words in a specific situation.
“…It took me a long time to figure out this one name.”
I cursed for dozens of years.
Returning to the past, we have been working hard to find out who is behind the Golden Circle.
My eyes turned red.
Because of this person.
I experienced hell.
The family was caught by their ankles and dragged together to the bottom of hell, where not a single ray of light was allowed.
Grumbling.
Tears flowed.
It’s not because I’m sad.
I was happy.
People always asked why Kim Hyun-sung went to such lengths, but if they had experienced dozens of years of hell, they would never be able to discuss ‘degree’. 1 minute is 60 seconds, 1 hour is 3600 seconds, 24 hours a day is 86400 seconds. Kim Hyun-seong felt every single second of time in the dark, unable to sleep or lose consciousness. It was an indescribable pain, and even as my mind collapsed and I lost my reason, I still had to feel the passage of time.
The current Jung Min-ho.
The current Oh Hye-ji.
Another perpetrator now.
Currently, it may be that they have not committed a crime worth the amount of retaliation they have suffered.
Even so.
Should I consider it myself and look at it?
Should I raise my baton like a judge and say that I will give you an appropriate punishment that matches your current crime?
no.
impossible.
What happened in the future was a real experience, and the memories of each moment stained with pain remained intact in Kim Hyun-seong’s mind. If you experienced pain one-sidedly in your past life. He deserved it in this life. As his blood vessels burst and his tears turn bloody, Kim Hyun-seong wanted to take a knife and stab Yoon Hyun-min in the abdomen. The malice welling up in me erupted uncontrollably as soon as I found someone to take revenge on.
“…no. “Not yet.”
I closed my eyes.
I took a breath.
Death is.
It’s the easiest revenge.
The pain digging into your abdomen may cause you to feel momentary pain and regret, but that brief moment cannot completely bring back the painful days you experienced. We cannot be satisfied with simple death. To feel that being alive is painful. I wanted to give Yoon Hyun-min, who must have lived a perfect life, the worst possible life in the future so that every minute and every second was completely painful.
‘how?’
Disclosure is not the best.
Even if you tie him up and expose him, there is a lot of room for escape.
Hyunmin Yoon had too much to accept the claim that he was a related party just because his interests were intertwined.
First, take it slow.
We will once again confirm that Yoon Hyun-min is the mastermind.
And as if we had gone through a hellish time and reached this moment, from now on we will build up preparations one by one to take down Hyunmin Yoon. Failure is never allowed. No matter how the opponent turns out, it was necessary to prepare to risk one’s life to ensure that the ending of Yoon Hyun-min’s destruction was certain.
“Let’s not be impatient. Let’s not be impatient. Don’t be impatient…”
I repeated it like a mantra.
For a while like that.
Hyunseong Kim could not leave the whiteboard.
* * *
Somewhere in Busan.
A man wearing a hood pulled down left the convenience store.
Jingling jingling.
I took a familiar night walk.
The neighborhood was not even properly equipped with street lights, and the shabby buildings on both sides further added to the shabby atmosphere. The man turned and entered an alley where cars were not allowed to pass. As I turned the road a few more times, I saw the sign of an inn revealing its presence with a red light.
I went inside.
I went up the stairs to a building without an elevator, opened the door labeled room 302, and entered.
Tuk.
“…Fuck.”
Scene of the room.
When Chansu Jeong looked at the mold growing on the wall, he couldn’t help but curse.
I couldn’t quite get used to it.
Not long ago, I lived in a luxurious officetel in Gangnam and enjoyed life at the forefront of Gangnam’s entertainment culture when darkness fell. But now it’s like hiding out in an inn like this. Chansu Jeong boiled water in the coffee pot as he was used to and started eating the cup ramen he purchased at the convenience store.
Slurp slurp.
I ate it all quickly.
When my stomach was full, I roughly threw away the trash and lay down.
“How long do I have to live like this?”
Hyunseong Kim.
He was the problem.
From the moment he got his nose and gave him the information, it was as if the current disaster was planned.
It was good at first.
I made quite a bit of money from the information I gained while managing Heaven, and if I kept this up, I thought I would soon be able to save enough money to live on for the rest of my life. Then an accident occurred. The moment that Kim Hyun-seong had mentioned came, and Jeong Chan-soo anticipated the disaster that would come to him and cashed in his assets. And quickly ran away. According to the original plan, the plan was to take a plane and flee abroad, but Golden Circle’s response was faster than expected.
A ban on leaving the country was imposed.
As soon as I confirmed that, I changed the route and boarded a smuggling ship at a port in Busan.
However, due to the people who noticed even that and followed him, Chansu Jeong had to run away, even throwing away the bag containing the bundle of cash. Now I had no money or anything. He only bought cup ramen with the few pennies he had left in his pocket, but if this goes on for a few more days, this shabby inn will no longer accept him.
“ha.”
I sighed.
I was at a loss.
I had no idea how to live from now on.
It was then.
Knock knock.
Someone knocked on the door.
Didn’t react.
Chansu Jeong showed a wary look in his eyes.
If he was the landlord, he would reveal his identity, and if he wasn’t the landlord, no one would come here to see him.
Okay.
I got up.
It was stuck on the window.
Knock knock.
The knocking continued.
My heart was pounding.
The moment when alertness rises.
Kwaang-!
“Fuck.”
Someone banged on the door.
It was certain.
These must be the people who came after him.
Chansu Jeong opened the window roughly and jumped out without a moment of hesitation.
* * *
An abandoned factory with no name.
Chansu Jeong was kneeling with a face stained with blood.
From the moment he came to a specific inn, it was impossible for him to run away.
“…ugh.”
I swallowed a moan.
My mouth was dry as I had been left unattended for several hours, and I was confused by how much blood I had lost.
Those who captured him did not even give him a chance to explain.
My face was disfigured by the indiscriminate violence, and I was getting used to the smell of blood coming from the dried blood. I was out of breath intermittently. Whatever it was, I hoped this painful moment would end quickly.
Jump and jump.
I heard someone walking from afar.
When I looked up, I saw a group of people and a tall-looking man.
widely.
The man sat on a chair.
Moment.
Chansu Jeong widened his eyes.
Although it was our first time meeting, we knew who the other person was right away.
‘Yoon Hyun-min, successor to Taeyang Group.’
It was a big deal.
Why did he appear here?
My tangled mind came to only one conclusion.
I conclude that he may be the owner of the Golden Circle, which I have been following without even knowing its identity.
Hyunmin Yoon opened his mouth.
“Explain.”
My heart sank.
It was the last chance.
In order to survive, Chan-soo Jeong spoke out, squeezing all the strength he had from breastfeeding.
“Actually, I have been threatened by Kim Hyun-seong. After the request failed, Kim Hyun-seong used it as a weakness to threaten me, and I made the mistake of accepting his offer out of fear of punishment. I was really wrong. I shouldn’t have done that, but I guess I’m crazy. If you give me just one chance to make up for my mistakes. I’ll do whatever it takes. “If you kill Kim Hyun-seong, I will go and kill you right away.”
“I ask you one thing. “Why on earth is Kim Hyun-seong so hostile to the Golden Circle?”
“That…”
Jeong Chan-soo didn’t know the reason either.
But I could say this much with certainty.
“I don’t know why, but what I felt while talking to him was that he thought of the Golden Circle as if he were Marshal Cheolcheon. And he persistently pressured me to find clues about the ‘owner of the Golden Circle.’”
Chansu Jeong’s answer.
It was enough.
Hyunmin Yoon muttered as if he felt regretful.
“If you think about it that way, it won’t actually be easy to appease.”
Okay.
I changed my posture.
He walked a little closer to Chansu Jeong and made eye contact at a distance where he could feel his breathing.
“Actually, I don’t think this crisis is that bad. Thanks to this, everyone realized that the Golden Circle is a community of destiny, and my shame has now become everyone’s shame. So that’s it. “I plan to punish the precedent of betrayal in order to further solidify the unity of this group.”
“…!”
Chansu Jeong widened his eyes.
I instinctively felt ominous.
He tried to hurriedly shout for help, but Yoon Hyun-min straightened his back again and winked at the people around him.
“Ahhhh!”
Men wearing hats dragged Chansu Jeong away.
No matter how hard he tried, there was no way he could resist the cruel hands.
Hyunmin Yoon spoke to the secretary who followed him.
“Tell everyone.”
This incident.
It will deliver a message to everyone.
The leash of those who belong to the Golden Circle is in their own hands.
“I found Chan-soo Jeong and chose punishment rather than punishment.”
Now all that’s left is.
It was Kim Hyun-seong’s turn to decide his disposition.
