Chapter 358 The Tragedy of Group Assignment (7)
“Uh. So, did you manage your work well?”
Kim Chun-bae, the leader of Dongmyeong-pa. He asked as he saw Chief Kim and Young-gil hurriedly entering the office. However, in response to his question, Chief Kim said with a firm expression.
“Brother, we have a problem.”
“problem....?”
Young-gil explains the current situation to Chun-bae's puzzled question. Chunbae, who had been silently listening to his story, frowned as if he was troubled.
“So you meant to secretly bring that guy named Jae-gyun, but in the middle of doing so, a girl named Chae-yeon accidentally witnessed the situation?”
“That's right. I obviously broke up and even confirmed that the bastard left the room and started working, but things went wrong because I left something and came back.”
“So... you just brought them both? Are you afraid that if you leave it alone, you will report it to the police right away and mess things up for no reason?”
“....I have no face.”
Young-gil lowers his head and shuts his mouth at Chun-bae's words. Chunbae, who was looking at him like that, looked at Chief Kim who was standing behind him with a serious face and said.
“How do you feel about this situation?”
Chief Kim, who had been arguing that he should leave this job to himself. However, as if he hadn't expected such an unexpected situation, he kept his mouth firmly shut like a mute who had eaten honey.
“It's a situation where our immature youngster brought the girl he adores along with him. That boy was supposed to be quietly buried somewhere no one knows anyway, so it wouldn't matter, but the other side is a different story, isn't it?”
It is possible to go against Tae-soo, the successor of Yuhan Construction, but it is also impossible to let go of the only person who witnessed Jae-gyun being kidnapped. So, while Chunbae and Chief Kim were struggling with how to deal with this, Yeonggil carefully opened his mouth with a very embarrassed face.
“There... there is one more problem.”
“What problem?”
Young-gil was hesitant to say this. However, he soon let out a deep sigh and began to reveal all about what had happened in Jae-gyun's room. And Chunbae and Chief Kim's expressions began to distort more and more, as if they had made a promise.
“So... I think the two of them noticed that Tae-soo instigated this incident because one of the kids made a mistake with his tongue?”
“I guess so.”
“Sir...”
Manager Kim and Chunbae swear at Younggil’s words. The two then looked into each other's eyes and nodded meaningfully.
“Chairman, I think it would be better to quietly bury this incident.”
“Is that what you think?”
“yes. Even if it's a girl that the immature youngster likes, it's bound to be a big problem unless you properly control her mouth. In particular, considering the fame and fame that this guy named Lim Jae-gyun has, it is best to eliminate any potential threat.”
Chief Kim, who planned this work to buy Tae-soo's favor. However, when things went like this, he gave up Tae-soo more quickly and calmly than anyone else and spoke strongly to Chun-bae.
“Anyway, the evidence that the governor is closely involved in this incident is in our hands. No matter how much we hold grudge against us, we cannot move easily, and if President Kang Man-cheol finds out about this fact, he will try to bury this situation quietly rather than us.”
The president of Yuhan Construction, a mid-sized construction company in Korea with a capital of hundreds of billions, and Tae-soo's parents, who hold the title of chief prosecutor at the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office. Chunbae nodded, remembering who would have the most to lose in the aftermath if this situation spread to the world.
“That is not true. They'll probably do their best to cover up the incident even more than we do.”
Instead, it is clear that he will hold a grudge against this incident. Chun-bae expresses regret over the accident that happened while trying to strengthen his relationship with Yuhan Construction... no, with the Kang Man-cheol family. However, as if he had made up his mind soon, he spoke to Chief Kim and Young-gil.
“Did you say Jaekyun and Chaeyeon? Younggil made both of them impossible to find. Thoroughly deal with it so that no trace of it can be found, and bury it so that it can be done with certainty. Also, don’t complicate things by making weird mistakes.”
“Chief Kim went to Yuhan Construction and showed his face and explained the situation in person. It's an unavoidable situation, so if you don't want to be dragged to hell together, I ask you to cooperate with the internal crackdown so that you don't do anything stupid.”
Without blinking an eye, Chun-bae gives the order to kill both of them without anyone knowing. However, at his terrible order, Young-gil and Chief Kim nodded their heads so calmly.
“All right.”
“I will consult with Yuhan Construction regarding this matter and report back to you, Chairman.”
Chunbae looked at the two as they said goodbye and left their room. He yelled at Young-gil behind him as if he had forgotten one.
“Oh, and bring that bastard who messed up like this by making fun of his tongue in front of me sooner or later. I will cut out that tongue myself.”
“...Once again, I apologize. I'm sorry bro.”
At those words, Young-gil bows 90 degrees, apologizes, closes the door, and disappears. Chunbae, who was left alone in the room, pondered something, then took out a cigar from the desk drawer and asked.
“Huh...”
Enjoying the strong cigar smoke filling his mouth, he closed his eyes with a very calm face.
He had no idea what the consequences of the decision he had just made would be.
* * *
Jeon Chan Chan, the 16th President of the Republic of Korea.
Due to the enormous lame duck that started due to the incompetence of the previous president, he succeeded in recapturing the government more easily than expected and was elected president.
However, the administration of state affairs was not so easy as expected.
Shortly after being elected, countless corruptions and scandals erupted from surrounding figures. In addition, due to all sorts of big and small social issues, his approval rating fell into abyss in an instant, but through one opportunity, he gained national support at a phenomenal level that could be called a miracle beyond resurrection.
[I will make sure that no one is saddened by not having a home in this country. I will completely solve this ever-soaring real estate problem, risking all my political life. We will create Underworld, a city of 10 million people, deep underground in Seoul, the capital of 10 million people!]
Project Underworld
This top-secret project was promoted in cooperation with the Azin Group.
A project that has been steadfastly pursued despite sabotage by the entire legislative branch, regardless of vested interests and opposition parties. This put him at risk of being impeached, but he survived. No, he was able to become a highly respected president with an enormous national support that no previous president had achieved.
- 93% approval rating of President Jeon Chan. An unrealistic figure close to communism.
- The most popular president in history. The reason for this is the liquidation of Korea's chronic real estate problems.
- A president who has omnipotent power to do anything. The foundation is strong public response.
Although some of the vested interests became the most hated and hated, President Jeon Chan-chan, who received tremendous praise and support from the majority of ordinary and poor working people. He was busy running state affairs and was having a day like yesterday.
“Regarding the summit with the United States, there are a few issues that need to be confirmed and decided upon by the President. First of all, regarding the plan to further expand the military base in relation to the recent ROK-US alliance...”
He was flipping through papers with a tired face while receiving a briefing at a gathering of the chief of staff and other aides. However, when he heard a sudden vibrating sound from his pants, he looked around and secretly took his phone out of his pocket to check the contents.
“This is...?”
President Jeon Chan, startled and unknowingly, jumped up from his seat. His sudden action made the chief of staff and other aides look puzzled.
“President? What are you doing?”
The chief of staff asked if there was any problem. However, President Jeon Ki-chan continued to look at his cell phone with a serious face and then looked at everyone and said.
“It is nothing. Rather... can we put off the meeting for half an hour? It's because I'm dizzy for a moment.”
The assistants who intuitively sensed that there was something with their eyes. That's why the chief of staff looked at the president with a confused expression and then nodded and said,
“All right. Then we'll take a break outside and wait for you, Mr. President.”
Employees rushing away at the chief secretary's beckoning. In the Oval Office left alone, President Jeon Chan-chan said in a small voice after carefully confirming that he was the only person in the room two or three times.
“Argus.”
and that moment.
His computer, which had the seal of the phoenix, which symbolizes the Blue House, was painted black, and soon several texts began to appear.
-Level 3 Administrator Jeon Chan Jeon, President of the Republic of Korea. Confirmed.
Argos, a super-artificial intelligence system that is the core of the Eye of Argos project that detects and analyzes all information in the world, and is the mother of Alice, which operates Arcadia, a virtual reality.
When he answered the call, President Jeon Chan asked with a puzzled face.
“What do you mean the message sent to the cell phone now? My granddaughter is in danger?”
A message that has just arrived on your phone. It was none other than Argos' warning about his granddaughter, Chaeyeon.
-I am obligated to warn and take all possible measures in the event of imminent danger to the manager and other important relatives. In accordance with that order, I have notified my watchdog of the relevant detections.
President Jeon Chan who has very recently been granted level 3 administrator authority to this Argos system by the U.S. government. In fact, it is safe to say that there is no information that can be obtained from the vast amount of data of Argos, which he monitors the world's information network, but there are cases where various information can be confirmed under very specific conditions.
And the present situation was just such a case.
“Then explain exactly where my granddaughter is and why she is in danger.”
-All right.
Argos started pouring out a lot of information on the electric president's monitor. It was information collected from all over the place, but as the puzzle pieces were intertwined and put together one by one, a huge conspiracy that no one would know about in this reality began to reveal its true nature.
“So you mean you did this to solidify the connection between Dongmyeongpa and Yuhan Construction and to cut off the relationship between Chaeyeon and the boy named Jaekyun? Did Chae-yeon end up in danger because she accidentally witnessed him being kidnapped?”
-That's right.
“Huh.....”
A story that is too absurd and absurd just to hear it. But there was no time for this because things were going so fast right now.
-The current manager's granddaughter has been confirmed to have an 88% chance of being killed. We advise you to take immediate action.
Argos tells her to rescue her granddaughter right now. Then, finally, she disappeared by providing a map of somewhere in Seoul where her location was confirmed.
“.....”
The computer returned to normal again. However, looking at the newly created folder on the desktop, he was able to remind himself that the conversation he had just had was not a dream.
And at that moment, the chief of staff and his assistants open the door and carefully re-enter. They immediately flinched and stopped when they saw the electric president sitting with a very serious and scary expression on his face.
“Hey... Mr. President. Did anything displease you?”
The chief of staff carefully asks questions with a gun on his arm. The president did not answer his question. I just jumped up from my seat and gave notice.
“I’m sorry, but please cancel all plans for today.”
“...?”
There is still a lot of work to be done. It would have been impossible if it hadn't been for a dire situation, as there were many urgent meetings and agendas that were competing for time, but the President's words after that were like detonating a bomb.
“I got a tip that my granddaughter was kidnapped.”
“yes....?”
“What is that...?”
The chief of staff and his aides looked very puzzled. But the president ordered them in a very cold and bloody voice as if he was not joking.
“Immediately, call the head of the bodyguard, the head of the National Intelligence Service, the head of the Capital Defense Command, or the head of the National Police Agency, whoever has the authority and responsibility to resolve this issue.”
