The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 340

341. Side Story – Episode 19

Early afternoon in front of the Operations Director’s office.

Suddenly…

As soon as I got there, I opened the door without hesitation.

OK.

“…!!”

Director Seo Min-cheol, who made eye contact with me, was very embarrassed and jumped up from his seat.

At the same time, the body automatically shrinks as if it is scared.

The reaction was as if the last time I touched it was still imprinted on it.

“I didn’t even know I could do that!”

“….”

Even though he hasn’t said anything yet, he starts by making an excuse.

“Really! I was just trying to protect you! “I never thought they would kill me like that…!”

As I approached him with my mouth shut, Director Seo Min-cheol suddenly trailed off.

I brought a chair and sat down facing him.

“Director Seo Min-cheol.”

He opened his mouth with a light sigh and swallowed his saliva.

“Actually, I know it’s not the director’s fault. “No matter how blind he is, he is not a person with enough intelligence to kill people.”

“…Do you understand?”

“By the way.”

I asked, looking straight into his eyes.

“Did employee Ha Eun-hye die because of a mistake?”

“….”

Director Seo Min-cheol’s pupils began to flutter.

“I intend to hold everyone involved in this accountable. “Not only Chairman Woo Seok-ho, but also the division manager and team leader Lee Soo-yong.”

“Don’t do anything reckless. No matter what you do, Chairman Woo Seok-ho will never be brought to court…”

“Even if you can’t be brought to court, you can be brought to death row.”

“what…?”

He asked back, but I smiled and didn’t bother answering.

Before long, Director Seo Min-cheol seemed to understand what that meant and became thoughtful.

“Don’t say nonsense. If you touch that person by mistake, you won’t be safe either! “I understand how you feel, but it only stops here…!”

“I’m sorry.”

I shook my head and took out my cell phone.

When I showed the screen, Director Seo Min-cheol’s mouth dropped open.

It’s not that it’s not, it’s on that screen.

“Team leader Lee Soo-yong of Operation Team 1, affiliated with the Seoul headquarters of the Korea Ability Dimension Management Association, voluntarily appeared at the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office a little while ago. Team leader Lee, who said he had something to testify regarding Mr. Ha’s case…”

“It’s already started.”

Team leader Soo-yong Lee was seen entering the prosecutor’s office under the spotlight.

Director Seo Min-cheol shook his head as if he was in a panic.

“This is not right… I know who that person is…”

“Now is not the time to worry about others, Director Seo Min-cheol.”

“…We also revealed that Operation Headquarters Director Seo Min-cheol and Operation Fact-Finding Committee Chairman Woo Seok-ho were involved in this incident, and we expect that this testimony will be a turning point in the investigation.” “You should think about your life first, Chief.

”

When I smiled, his face immediately became thoughtful.

“Until now, we could have pretended not to know and buried it quietly, but now that the testimony of the relevant person has been received, there will be no choice but to proceed with the investigation. Director Seo Min-cheol can’t avoid it either.”

“…Well, there’s no evidence anyway! “To begin with, there are a lot of Chairman Woo Seok-ho in the National Police Agency. Do you think we can prove the charges by investigating them?”

“I have the evidence.”

As I waited for those words, I immediately took something out of my pocket.

“That…”

At the same time, Director Seo Min-cheol’s hands were shaking.

“This is the original file stolen by employee Ha Eun-hye.”

“How could you do that…”

His face was so embarrassed that he couldn’t continue his words.

But I had a hard time keeping my cool for a while.

“Now, what difference do you think it will make if you spread it? Since the person who can prove the path to obtaining the file is already dead, there is no way it will be accepted as evidence…”

“I know.”

I answered, interrupting him.

“It would be enough to just accuse it of manipulation of files whose origin is unclear. “Chairman Woo Seok-ho must have great connections and capabilities.”

“If you knew, there’s no way something like that could become a threat now…!”

“But what if the general manager spreads it?”

“…what?”

At that moment, Director Seo Min-cheol’s eyebrows twitched greatly.

Yes, actually he is right.

Chairman Woo Seok-ho is not something a mere hunter like me can do anything about.

A big man that even the president and directors of the association cannot do anything about.

It is hopeless for me, who has no backs, to deal head-on with a man who has worked his way up to that position by building his foundation step by step over the years.

Even if Team Leader Lee Soo-yong testifies, he will use all kinds of connections to escape the investigation net.

Of course, it would be impossible to prove the charges against both Chairman Seok-ho Woo and Director Min-cheol Seo, let alone punish them.

Because he is a person with such power.

No matter how much I tried to spread the file, I would just end up struggling in a swamp.

but.

“If Chairman Woo Seok-ho thinks he can bury this matter until the end, he can destroy the file. However, if you don’t trust Chairman Seok-ho Woo even a little, you should strike him first.”

If the person involved in this incident were to spread the word, things would be different.

“…Are you telling me to spread this?”

“yes.”

“Are you telling me to turn myself in now…?”

“You understood right away.”

I answered immediately.

Then, Director Seo Min-cheol shouted in an excited voice.

“If I spread this, I won’t be safe either! “I don’t know if you will be punished, but you could be kicked out of the association…!”

“That’s none of my business.”

I shrugged my shoulders.

“I just promise you… I will go to the end no matter what.”

“….”

“And if the situation becomes even slightly unfavorable at that time, I can guarantee that Chairman Woo Seok-ho will hit the head of the headquarters without hesitation.”

“The neck…”

“Director Seo Min-cheol.”

I looked into his eyes and continued speaking.

“This is not a metaphor.”

“….”

He swallowed again.

Same choice as team leader Soo-yong Lee.

Will you trust your backs and stick together until the end, or will you cut your tail now, even if it means getting off your seat right now?

In that choice, team leader Soo-Yong Lee chose the latter.

Then….

“So what do you think? “Do you… trust your colleagues?”

How about this one?

“….”

He looked at the USB in front of him and dropped his legs.

And then.

Ringing -.

Just then his cell phone rang.

After checking the recipient, he looked at me in surprise.

I signaled him to take it with a nod.

“Hello.”

So he answered the phone with a trembling voice.

“ Hey, this dog! What is this! “Why did Lee Soo-yong suddenly crawl into the prosecution office?!”

A loud sound was heard, loud enough to be heard even outside the cell phone.

However, Director Seo Min-cheol was unable to give any answer, perhaps because his mouth had already completely hardened.

“Fuck you. Are you listening?! “Are you listening?!”

As his voice became more and more excited, I snatched his phone away.

“Chairman Woo Seok-ho. “This is Kim Jun-woo.”

“…What is it?”

“Didn’t I warn you?”

I took a slow breath and said.

“If something happens to that newbie, you have to be prepared.”

“…You really planned this?! Hey Seo Min-cheol! What did that bastard say! “If you listen to that bastard, it’s all over!”

He shouted loudly, but I just laughed and ignored him.

“Then… please wait. “I’ll see you soon, Chairman.”

“You…!”

I hung up the phone and looked at Director Seo Min-cheol.

He was still shaking and looked like he was in a panic.

I said, getting up from my seat.

“It is up to the director how to use it.”

「….」

“I’m giving you a leash again. I hope you don’t miss it this time.”

I left the office with those words.

And that moment.

“Oh hello?”

“…?”

I ran into a young man outside the office.

“who…?”

“My name is Eom Kyung-hoon. A member of the control team…”

He introduced himself in a hushed voice.

A man with a rather haggard appearance.

But as for those eyes.

‘What are you doing, you bastard…’

I was filled with deep anger that couldn’t be expressed in words.

***

Boom!

Immediately after the call was unilaterally cut off, Chairman Woo Seok-ho became furious and hit the desk.

“What the fuck… How is this going on…!”

At the same time, his eyelids fluttered.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand this situation.

Why did Lee Soo-yong, who was not involved in this incident, suddenly voluntarily appear and why is Seo Min-cheol with Kim Jun-woo at this time?

“Fuck…”

Chairman Woo Seok-ho chewed his teeth.

Of course, there is no way the charges can be proven through Lee Soo-yong’s testimony.

As the media’s attention has been focused, an external investigation should be conducted, but it is only testimony without evidence.

It would be impossible to prove the charges if the people who had been giving away the money only paid for the food.

But the problem is Seo Min-cheol.

That guy is directly related to this incident.

If he, following Lee Soo-yong, opens his mouth, it would be dangerous.

‘If I thought my life was a waste, I would have kept quiet…’

Of course, there is no way he would expose the incident without any justification, but the fact that he was with Kim Jun-woo is very unsettling.

It looks like they are trying to appease him… You will have to choose wisely.

Even if you are a promising genius hunter, there are places you can never climb.

Whether Kim Jun-woo threatened or persuaded him, he could never catch him.

Seo Min-cheol surely knows that, too.

but.

‘…Fuck.’

Still, my anxiety did not go away.

Chairman Woo Seok-ho, who thought for a while, finally took out his cell phone again.

I pressed that number that wasn’t even saved.

Soon you will hear a short beep.

“Yes.”

Korea’s No. 1 freelance hunter and troubleshooter.

I heard the voice of the man called the janitor.

“It’s Woo Seok-ho.”

“Please tell me.”

“Could it be possible… to entrust you with one more task?”

“Will you handle Kim Jun-woo?”

Chairman Seok-ho Woo was shocked at those words.

However, Yang Min-ho laughed as if he was not that surprised.

“I also watch the news. Well, from what I can see, it looks like Kim Jun-woo is trying to control the guys below him… Well, he must be anxious. Especially since we haven’t even retrieved the file.”

“…So is it possible?”

“of course. “If only you would match the cost.”

“How much do you want?”

“well. Still, I think the unit price would be 2 billion won.”

“…!”

Chairman Woo Seok-ho’s face suddenly hardened at the ridiculous amount.

“What nonsense…! When dealing with new recruits, it was 500 million won! “2 billion is not even the name of someone’s dog!”

“Would dealing with an ordinary person with no connections be the same as dealing with a genius hunter? “I also have to get hazard pay to make ends meet.”

“No matter what, 2 billion won…!”

“Of course, if the price is not right, you don’t have to do the transaction. It’s unfortunate because it’s not me. however… “Are you sure it’s okay, Chairman?”

“….”

Chairman Woo Seok-ho swallowed his saliva.

“Well, don’t worry too much. There are many payment methods. You have land and real estate, right? “Anyway, we’ll have to deal with all of that before the election, so isn’t it killing two birds with one stone?”

“Sigh…”

Chairman Seok-ho Woo let out a long sigh.

After thinking about it for a long time.

“I understand. “Let’s figure it out somehow.”

He then spoke as if he had made up his mind.

“Ah, while you’re at it, please keep an eye on that bastard Seo Min-cheol for a while. “If you try to do something stupid, you can kill me.”

“All right. Well, there will be additional costs for that part too, but I’ll tell you about that later.”

‘Damn you…’

The hand holding the phone tightened.

But even for a moment.

“Then… please, as quickly as possible. “When you finish work, report it to me right away.”

“I will do that.”

Chairman Woo Seok-ho hung up the phone and sighed deeply.

I had no idea that just one hunter would come out like this.

But that ends here.

If Kim Jun-woo is dealt with, this incident itself can be blamed on him.

Isn’t he someone who has a bad reputation within the team anyway?

He continued to harass the new recruit assigned to the surveillance position, and when the new recruit who could no longer stand it threatened to sue him, he accidentally killed himself. As the investigation net narrowed, he was cornered and committed suicide.

This will solve everything.

‘Whoa…’

Okay, let’s not think about it any more.

It will pass anyway, so just look ahead.
