Episode 99

Everyone’s eyes widened in surprise at Kim Pil-young’s sudden action.

That was inevitable because as soon as the recorded phone call file was played, he fell face down in front of Hong Min-jung.

He immediately began to ask for forgiveness, waving his hands.

“I, I have committed a mortal sin, Senior! I was blinded by money and… …!”

Heeseong was also flustered at this moment.

No, maybe this is the most surprising of all.

Because the culprit he was convinced was not him.

‘… … What is the situation right now? Why is this person… … .’

After checking the employee ID around his neck, Heeseong’s gaze turned to Jangsu Kang.

Then his pupils also began to shake greatly.

“Mr. Phil-young, why are you suddenly like that…? Why are you suddenly kneeling…?”

“What do you mean, I committed a mortal sin? What did FD do wrong…?”

As soon as the writer’s question was asked, the sound of two men talking began to flow out from the file that was being played.

-Senior! Could it be that you did this? Could it be that you even hired a hacker?

-What are you talking about all of a sudden, cutting off everything? You need to speak so that I can understand, Inma.

-You already knew everything, so why are you doing this! I mean, you deleted our team members’ emails. Do you really have to go that far?

At the word ‘mail’, everyone’s gaze turned to the cell phone.

The team members’ eyes were noticeably different from before.

-You hired a hacker because I said I couldn’t do it that far? You didn’t have to go this far! If you do this, how can you face Hong Seonbae in the future?

-Hey, Kim Pil-young. Once you’ve decided on a path, don’t be half-assed and don’t be half-assed. Take the right path, Inma. The guy who even deleted your email account is making a lot of people tired because he can’t do that? If you had finished it cleanly back then, you wouldn’t have had to go through all this trouble. Right?

Kim Pil-young lowers his head and bites his lips at the released recording.

Hong Min-jung was looking at him with an indescribable expression.

-So you really hired a hacker? To raid our team members’ computers and delete all the emails in their mailboxes?

-What about hackers? Are you making a movie? How much does it cost to hire a hacker? You don’t have to worry about it because I’m leaving it to someone else. You won’t be harmed at all.

-Someone else? Who is that? If it’s not a hacker, who can access our computer… … . No one else can even enter this conference room except our team members.

– Really? Then that must be it. One of your team members.

-… … What did you say? What did you just say… … .

At that moment, Heeseong’s gaze turned to Jangsu Kang.

Because now I clearly understand how things turned out.

‘You planted two because one wasn’t enough? In this team of only six?’

“PD, where are you going!”

But then, Jang Su-gang suddenly got up from his seat and started rushing towards the door.

It seemed as if he had sensed the next conversation that was about to follow and was trying to run away in a hurry.

Despite the writers’ call, Jang Su-gang ran out into the hallway without looking back, and Hee-seong immediately started chasing after him.

“Ahh!”

But for some reason, when I went out into the hallway, Jang Su-gang was lying on the floor.

And in front of him, a man was sitting there, rubbing his forehead, and his face was very familiar.

“Ahh… … If you suddenly pop out like this… … . My head is hard, so it must hurt a lot… … .”

The man who was getting up was Joo Seung-ik, and unlike him, Jang Su-gang was still lying flat on the floor without moving an inch.

“Did you faint…? How did you get hit…?”

“No, I was looking around the door to see if the manager was still there, and then he suddenly opened the door and ran out. My father was a former wrestler, so my head is harder than a rock. When I got hit like that, the shock was bound to be great… … .”

There wasn’t even a small bump on Joo Seung-ik’s forehead, indicating that he was indeed harder than a stone.

In contrast, Jang Su-gang was practically a corpse.

“Oh my, what’s going on! PD Su-gang, why are you doing this? PD! Are you okay?!”

“Oh my, what should I do? Should I call an ambulance first? I think he’s passed out!”

Hong Min-jung clenched his molars as he grabbed the arm of the youngest writer who was hastily taking out his cell phone.

Then, as if all questions had been resolved, he looked down at the Jangsu River and said:

“What about an ambulance? Go to the bathroom and get a bucket of water. I don’t want to waste tap water, so I’ll just use the water from the toilet bowl.”

After a while, Jang Su-gang woke up after being baptized in cold water.

The writers had all been sent out, and FD Kim Pil-young was still on his knees with his head down.

“Are you awake? You traitorous bastard?”

“Well, senior… … .”

“Don’t call me senior. I’ve never had a junior like you. You’ve betrayed not only me, but this country. You’re the worst traitor in the world.”

While Jang Su-gang was unconscious, Hong Min-jung listened to all of his recorded phone calls and had already figured out who he was ordering.

With Kim Pil-young’s additional statement added, I also understood the full story of the incident.

“I don’t know about other people, but I didn’t know you would do this to me, Jang Su-gang. I’ve been dragging you along all this time. Don’t you know that I even reduced my deposit and moved here to bring you and Pil-young? But how could you, how could you guys… … to me!”

“… … I’m sorry, Senior. I think I lost my mind for a moment. I lost my mind because you proposed such outrageous terms that I’ve never heard of in my life… … . I really deserve to die, Senior… … !”

Jang Su-gang, who had been lying down, got up, knelt down like Kim Pil-young, and started to cry.

The inside story of the incident was as follows.

Kim Pil-young deleted Hong Min-joong’s email account early on after receiving a request from a certain PD, and Jang Su-gang, who was offered exceptional conditions by that PD, emptied all of his team members’ mailboxes, including his own.

So, in short, what was thought to be the work of the same criminal was actually the work of two people, and they had no idea that they were accomplices.

Kim Pil-young, who needed money, deleted Hong Min-joong’s email account while he was overseas, but said he would not do anything after that.

I knew that it would be a betrayal of the entire team, and that the moment I deleted it, I would be crossing a river of no return.

But Jangsu River was different.

Instead of money, he was offered a transfer to China, and Jang Su-gang, who had not had a bright future as an outsourced worker, grabbed the offer.

Even just listening to the recorded conversation, you could tell that he accepted the offer without a second thought.

“Have I been that bad for you? Are you so upset that you want to throw all the years we spent together in the trash? I thought I was good enough for you.”

Kim Pil-young shook his head vigorously and denied it.

“No, Senior… … ! At that time, I was ready to do anything if only I could pay off my loan shark debt… … . If it weren’t for you, Senior, I would have been dead a long time ago… … !”

Hong Min-jung looked at Jangsu River and said.

“Did you really want to go to China? If you had just endured it for another year or two, you would have gotten your enlistment and continued to rise from there. Was it that hard to endure it?”

Jang Su-gang bit his lips tightly and shed tears.

“… … I thought there was no hope here anyway. Since I was from an outsourcing company, I thought I would always face discrimination and limitations, and unless I could rise to the level of a senior, it would end at some point. In that case, I thought it would be better to go to another country and work there with good treatment… … .”

Jang Su-gang was offered a directing position in a Chinese sitcom.

He said that broadcasting personnel are gradually advancing to China, and offered Jang Soo-gang the job of writing and directing a sitcom. He made an unconventional offer that Jang could not refuse, saying that if it went well, he would pursue a seasonal production.

It was an offer that even star PDs would be tempted by, as it came with not only a position but also a huge amount of money, so Jang Su-gang, who came from an outsourcing background, probably had no hesitation.

“You idiots… … Do you think you’ll be happy for the rest of your life if you hit the back of the head like that? Life is about getting what you put in, no matter what. You don’t even know that you’ll get the same thing back someday, you idiots.”

It must have been quite a shock to Hong Min-jung.

Because the two people who brought him here while lowering their own conditions when he transferred to JNBC have betrayed him at the same time.

Suddenly, a question occurred to Heeseong and he asked Hong Minjoong.

“But who is this Hwang Min-guk? He’s the one who instigated these two people behind the scenes.”

At first, I naturally thought it was China’s doing.

It is said that the Chinese person in charge, Ling Wei, made direct contact and made such a proclamation.

However, a person named Hwang Min-guk appeared simultaneously in the recorded phone conversation between Jang Su-gang and Kim Pil-yeong, and it was revealed that he had incited the two to do so.

Who the hell is he and why did he do this?

Hong Min-jung opened his mouth as if he knew without having to ask.

“When I was at MBS, he was my senior. I took over his weekend slot and made his program a hit. So, there’s no way he would have any negative feelings toward me.”

“You were PD Hong’s senior? But why did you do something like this… … .”

“After that, he moved to China. He’s still working there now. He probably conspired with Ling Wei to do this kind of thing. I’m just a thorn in their side.”

I didn’t quite understand it.

Even if he was a junior who had worked hard to secure his place, it would have been his own choice to go to China.

You’ve kept that grudge all this time and now you’re doing something like this.

I thought that perhaps there were deeper stories that I didn’t know about.

“Whew, since it’s come to this, this is the end of our relationship. What’s already been spilt can’t be picked up now.”

With those words, Hong Min-jung picked up his cell phone and stood up from his seat.

“What do you do now?”

“What can I do? I have the witness and all the evidence, so I have to go and see it through. Didn’t you tell me earlier that it wouldn’t be of any use until there was solid evidence? Now that’s not the case, I’m going to go and kill him or leave him alive.”

Hong Min-jung turned his body with a determined expression and tone.

At that moment, Heeseong grabbed his arm and said.

“I have a better idea. Would you like to hear it?”
