Episode 18

At Heeseong’s whisper, Mr. Park’s expression visibly hardened.

Because I sensed that the situation was not normal when I heard the word probation.

“Wh, what are you talking about now? What is public authority and what is suspended sentence…?”

“What a brilliant criminal record. You’ve been to prison more than once for assault, fraud, violation of the protection law, violation of the employment security law, etc. On top of that, you also solicited prostitution of a minor. The last time, you were lucky enough to get a suspended sentence, but before that, you were all sentenced to prison. What the heck.”

“… … What, what is that… … .”

“I told you. I didn’t come here just to have a drink. If I had come out nicely, I would have just voided this one contract and quietly gone for a drink. But this has gotten too big.”

Heeseong points to his lips, which are burst and covered in blood.

“Well, if this happens, they won’t be able to just let it go. It’s like a violent crimes detective witnessing an assault right in front of his eyes and just letting it go. Isn’t that right?”

“……detective?”

“Don’t they look like detectives at first glance? To me, it looks like it’s glued to their faces. ‘Drug Detective’, ‘Violent Detective’, it’s all there.”

The fierce-looking gangsters were detectives from the narcotics and violent crimes divisions, respectively.

The people who are most feared in these entertainment establishments are precisely these types of people.

Park’s heart sank as he was caught by detectives at an illegal crime scene while still having a year left on his probation period.

“Wait, wait a minute. So that guy… … No, those guys are all detectives? They came here from the beginning to catch me… …?”

“Didn’t you say that to me earlier? Are you listening to people’s words with your asshole? It seems like that’s what you’re saying now. I told you that I was just going to nullify this contract and go back.”

Mr. Park, who had been rolling his eyes, immediately changed his stance.

“Okay, okay. Then I’ll do that, so let’s pretend it never happened! Let’s tear up this contract right here and now and take him with us. What do you think? That’ll work, right?”

“What the hell is going on, you rascal? Do you think the eyes and ears we have are just for decoration? How can you pretend that what you see and hear never happened?”

In response to the sudden interruption of Park Chang-soo, a detective from the violent crimes unit, Hwang Seong-jin, a narcotics unit officer sitting next to him, also opened his mouth and added his opinion.

“While I’m here, I should also raid all the establishments here. Where there’s money, alcohol, and women, there wouldn’t be drugs, right? If there are these filthy people in this place, there’s more than enough.”

At those words, the face of the young madam next to Mr. Park suddenly turned red with confusion.

It didn’t matter whether there were actual drugs in this karaoke or not.

Just being targeted by detectives and being searched will have a huge impact on business sales.

Even if the customers don’t use drugs, who would want to come to an entertainment establishment that can’t even properly prevent such crackdowns?

There are good reasons why rich and powerful people come to these private rooms.

‘What should I do? Should I go out and report this to my superiors right now? Or at least prepare an envelope with money?’

When something like this happens, the best thing to do is to give them an envelope of cash. When you shove a crisp wad of cash right into their chest, everything goes smoothly.

It looks like these people didn’t come here intentionally to rob the business, so I think they’ll probably get away with it if I trick them somehow…

“Hey, you there. Stay still. The moment you leave this room, you become an accomplice.”

“Oh, yep!”

The young madam stood at attention without even taking a few steps after hearing the detective’s words.

“I’m sorry! Please spare me just this once! I really tried to live a good life, but since this is all I’ve learned, I ended up getting involved again… … . I won’t ever come near this kind of thing again! Please close your eyes just this once and forgive me!”

Mr. Park was the one who immediately got down on his knees, with no pride or anything.

Now was not the time to be showing off one’s pride.

Not only will the sentence be doubled if another crime is committed during the probation period, but this case itself is so large.

If he already has multiple criminal records and this gets dragged on, it’s an absolutely hopeless situation no matter how much he spends on lawyers.

It was money and pride, and I had to find a way to survive first.

“I’m serious. I’ll never do anything illegal again and I’ll clean up what I’m doing right now! Please, detectives, show me some leniency so I don’t end up in jail…!”

Mr. Park turned his knees from Heesung to the two detectives.

However, Heeseong’s senior soldiers looked troubled and pointed back at Heeseong with their eyes and chins.

“Ah, don’t do this to us. If you’re going to beg, go ask over there. We came here at the request of that friend. Don’t beat up your idiot.”

“So why are you messing with the wrong person? The decision-making authority is with that guy, and you’re swinging your weight around at him like that. Tsk tsk.”

In a fit of rage, Mr. Park’s knee spun sharply once again.

“How could you not? Since you are a respected person, please be lenient and understand just this once… … . As you said, I will make sure that I never contact that friend again! Please, please, at least not go to jail… … .”

This is what Heesung was aiming for from the beginning.

It was difficult to raise an issue with the contract itself in the first place, so I didn’t think he would come out easily.

So, in the end, you need to have a weapon that can intimidate the other side.

Heeseong decided to dig into Mr. Park’s past.

‘It’s funny. I’m not even Park, but I use the stage name Park.’

His name on the contract with Kim Ye-seul was Kim Soon-dal. So it was Kim, not Park.

I don’t know why he used the stage name Park, but Heesung’s judgment was that he would not have written a false name on the contract.

That is the only means and weapon that can suppress the opponent, so there must be no loopholes in the documents.

So, I gave Park Chang-soo the resident registration number and real name written on the contract and asked him to provide me with his criminal record.

Of course, strictly speaking, this is not something that should be done, but since it is clear that he is a criminal, there is sufficient justification for getting caught.

And the moment Hee-sung heard about Kim Soon-dal’s criminal record, he thought it was all over.

‘If you’re going to back down like this, how did you manage to do such a big thing?’

Not only did Park have a brilliant criminal record in the past, but Kim Soon-dal was also on probation.

What this meant was that if you reported it, you would be sent straight to prison.

The term “suspended sentence” itself means that the sentence is set, but the execution of that sentence is suspended for a certain period of time. However, if another crime is committed during that period, the sentence will be executed without fail.

In other words, the punishment will be the combined punishment for not only the crime committed this time, but also the previously suspended sentence.

In addition, since he has a history of previous punishments, the possibility of rehabilitation is considered low, so the new sentence will not be light.

It was understandable that Mr. Park, who had been holding his head upright just a few minutes ago, bowed his head without thinking about the consequences.

“Can you really keep those words? The words you said with your own mouth just now.”

When Heeseong returned to his formal question, Mr. Park raised his head, looked up at him, and nodded vigorously.

“Yes, yes! Of course! If you don’t believe me, you can watch my every move! I’ll make sure to clean up not only this guy but everything I’ve done so far. A week, no, two days will be enough!”

“Even so, I know that I will repeat the same thing again someday. I was so afraid of going to jail, but I am doing it again at this very moment. In the end, I will be in the same situation again soon.”

“… … .”

“I’ll give you two days as I said. In those two days, I hope you’ll sort out everything you’re doing now and finish up with your contracted friends. Don’t even think about chains or tricks and just cut ties forever. Is that possible?”

It was a problem that didn’t require much thought since they were giving me a chance.

“Yes! Of course! Of course! Believe it or not, I was planning to earn just enough and leave for the Philippines within this year… …! I’ll organize it in two days and leave right away!”

Mr. Park looked at the two detectives and pleaded again.

“I will never do something like this again, so please show me some leniency just this once, detectives… …! I really intended to stop this one and go overseas, so you can check my departure records. I really, really committed a mortal sin, detectives… …!”

“Oh, boy, I told you not to do that to us, but you’re still doing that. You’re just making people uncomfortable for no reason. Ahem.”

They were detectives, so that was the case, but they were two years younger than Mr. Park.

Even the most criminal person could not feel at ease when such a person was kneeling in front of him and begging him.

“Okay. Then let’s tear up this contract here and return the deposit right away. That way, we can end things cleanly.”

“Oh, you don’t have to do that. I just wanted to express my gratitude… … .”

“Okay. Oh, but. It’ll cost you less than 1 million won. That’s part of the money I gave that guy as a tip earlier.”

When he turned his head in the direction Heeseong was pointing, the young madam was standing there with a bewildered expression.

The bundle of 50,000 won bills he had received earlier was actually money that had come out of his own wallet.

“Yes, yes. I understand… … ! If you do that, I could ask for nothing more. I will live a truly good life. Thank you very much, very much… … !”

Heeseong spoke to Mr. Park while shaking off his crumpled clothes.

“I don’t have any expectations, but I hope you live a good life, and don’t ruin someone else’s life by doing something like this again.”

“Keuheu. Kill the ambassador, kill him. Wasn’t that last line just like a scene from a noir film? The last line where the protagonist lets go of the guy he should kill instead of killing him! Even the fact that he took off his clothes seemed perfect? ​​Huh? Keuheu.”

“Hey, Jeong Hee-seong. Who are you? When did you change like this? Are you really the same quiet and innocent Jeong Hee-seong I knew? You’re the kind of guy who never interferes in other people’s business, right?”

Since they lived together in the same unit and platoon every day, they knew Hee-seong’s personality better than anyone else.

Besides, we maintained a special friendship for quite some time even after entering society.

Hee-sung was so ordinary that it seemed like the word ‘ordinary’ was created just for him.

The two were quite surprised because the appearance they saw today was 180 degrees different.

“I also have no choice now. I am in a position where I have to do my best for each and every person unconditionally.”

As Heeseong spoke, he saw Kim Yeseul transferring money to Park.
