There is no villain in my return 117

In the car.

Cha Jeong-sik couldn’t hold back his boiling anger.

It was difficult to understand why things had turned out this way.

Even when Ji Sung-gu showed up after a few years and started threatening me, I was actually happy about it.

He’s the only one in the world who knows his secret, so it’s time to get it out of the way.

Because his goal is not to become the mayor of Seoul, but to go somewhere higher.

“It started to get tangled up after I let that guy go.”

Director Seong, who can be called an expert in this field, stepped forward.

But the ones who actually suffered were them.

Instead, he escaped from Ji Sung-gu and crawled into the military prosecution.

At that time, I just thought there was another guy next to me and didn’t think the situation would become urgent.

“As soon as Kim Jin-pyo was arrested, Choi Ki-yeol started criticizing him as if he had been waiting for him.”

And the special prosecution, which had been going on at a rapid pace, detonated a nuclear bomb while watching the press.

When the gun he had raised aimed at the back of Minho’s head sparked, a blood vessel burst in his eye.

“This is… targeting me. It’s sniping me.”

It wasn’t until I got hit by a bullet that I started to see things.

If things continue like this, not only his political career but his life will be torn apart.

The first thing that comes to mind is Geummusan Mountain, which I had not visited for 20 years.

If he has power that is incomparable to mine, there must be a way.

Right now, I have no choice but to believe that.

Clank-

“We have arrived.”

“I’m waiting.”

He left his aide behind and crossed the underground parking lot.

Director Sung and his staff, their faces a mess, stood in a row.

Cha Jeong-sik raised his hand and hit Director Seong in the face.

“How on earth do you handle things! You little punk can’t even kill one person properly?!”

Her lip was torn and blood spurted out.

When there was no reply, Cha Jeong-sik’s eyes lit up and he waved his hand again.

But this time, he didn’t just sit there and let it go.

I caught the hand that was flying towards me and stared blankly at him.

“The person I am serving is not Mr. Cha Jeong-sik.”

“What? Where did this kid do well? Don’t you know who I am?”

He staggered as Director Sung pushed his arm away.

“The chairman is waiting inside. There’s no time, so hurry up.”

Cha Jeong-sik clenched his teeth.

Then I realized that it was not the time to fight and straightened my disheveled clothes.

“You… be prepared.”

He kept issuing warnings that were never meant to be true.

As he entered the living room, Geummusan was sitting there, looking much older than he remembered.

Now that I’m older, I don’t think I would, but I instinctively cringed.

“father.”

“The prodigal son who ran away from home has returned.”

“……sorry.”

“I’m sorry. It’s commendable that you left home to gain something. That is, until you come back like a stray dog.”

“……father.”

Geummusan smiled and pointed to the empty space.

“Something quite interesting happened.”

“……They planned it all out and targeted me. If only Director Sung had dealt with Ji Sung-gu in time.”

“Are you doubting Director Sung too?”

Geummusan’s smile deepened.

“I’m not sure, but can’t you suspect it?”

“That’s right. It’s a good habit to be suspicious. That’s how I raised you.”

“Yes. I have lived according to my father’s teachings.”

If Cha Jeong-sik had seen Geum Musan’s expression, he would have known that he was being laughed at.

But I didn’t notice because I was looking down at my teacup with my head down.

“Have you figured out who is after you?”

“……From the special prosecutors to Choi Ki-yeol and the military prosecutors, they are all graduates of Korea University.”

“and?”

Cha Jeong-sik tilted his head at the words, “There’s more.”

“Director Sung. Tell me about the guys you met before dealing with Ji Sung-gu.”

“There were two of them. They were so big that they were visible even with their masks and hats on.”

“There are two of them. They appeared as if they were watching and dealt with Director Sung and four of his staff members.”

What this means is that those who are after Cha Jeong-sik are not ordinary people.

“Including Choi Ki-yeol, Chief Prosecutor Kim Gwang-ho, the prosecutors in the special investigation team, and the military prosecutor who arrested Kim Jin-pyo, all graduated from the Law Department of Korea University. Those guys who just roll their pens won’t be able to do anything to Director Sung. They won’t be able to move so cleanly from behind the scenes.”

Be suspicious of everything and everyone.

Geummusan, true to his beliefs, did not view this incident as simply a problem for Cha Jeong-sik.

What if it was the work of someone who knew that he was his son?

So what if it was an intentional approach?

If so, there is a high possibility that the invisible enemy is bigger and more dangerous than expected.

We need to figure out how much we know and for what purpose they are doing this.

Cha Jeong-sik thought for a while and then answered.

“……No matter how much I think about it, there really isn’t anyone else besides them.”

Geummusan was silent.

If it were Geum Na-yeon, she would have instinctively judged that the current situation was dangerous.

Geummusan mercilessly throws away those he deems useless to him.

It is the same even if the blood relations are mixed.

“Son, do you remember what you said when you ran away from home 20 years ago?”

“I said I didn’t want to live like my father.”

“and?”

“……When I come back, I will bring back something that my father did not have.”

Geummusan has known for a long time that Cha Jeongsik has dreams of entering politics.

I thought that it wasn’t a bad thing for him, since he was good at speaking but lacked in salesmanship.

He was supported in every way, both materially and spiritually, until he rose to the position of mayor of Seoul.

Geummusan got up from his seat and stood in front of Cha Jeongsik.

He said, patting his head.

“But why did you come back? All you have is the soon-to-be-disappeared Seoul mayoral position.”

“……If this continues, I will die.”

“You should have come back dead. Then at least you would have known who was after you.”

The heartless words reminded me of the fear of Geummusan Mountain that I had forgotten.

His wife rebelled against Geummusan, who was raising his children according to his own tastes.

I said I would leave home and live on my own, but the results were disastrous.

He slowly became mentally ill and wasted away under the blatant bullying of Geummusan.

One day, the body of his missing wife was found at the river mouth.

A will was found, but it was obvious who did it.

“……Are you trying to kill me too? He’s my only son?”

“How can I kill him with my own hands? If there is any evidence left, countless hyenas will swarm him.”

“……Please save me. Please save me, Father.”

Cha Jeong-sik started to cry.

Only then did he realize that he had made a mistake.

You shouldn’t have come here.

Geummusan will keep Cha Jeongsik quiet, if only to hide the fact that he is his son.

“If the traces that we worked so hard to hide are revealed, Cheonwoo Industries’ name may come out. Do you know what I mean?”

“……I don’t want to die. If it’s Father, there’s a way……”

“None. So, Jeongsik.”

Geummusan patted Cha Jeongsik on the shoulder and said.

“In the next life, don’t be born as my son. I don’t need someone like you.”

As he gestured, the employees standing behind him dragged Cha Jeong-sik away.

I somehow managed to cling to Geummusan Mountain and beg for help, but all I could do was scrape the ground and my fingernails were pulled out.

The screams grew distant and then suddenly stopped.

The only ones left in the room are Geummusan and Seong Siljang.

“Have you found out about them?”

“I checked with all the local moneylenders who were known to be quite aggressive, but they were all wrong. However, there was a similar incident before.”

“Similar thing?”

“There was a time when the Gangnam Hidden Key office managed by Director Geum was robbed.”

As many as 30 men were robbed by just two people, and not only the money but all the debt documents were stolen.

The news was full of stories about other loan sharks doing the same thing.

“I thought Minjun cleaned up the Gangnam branch?”

“That’s right. I searched around and found the person in charge of Hidden Key at the time.”

“Let’s meet. If there’s a match, we can figure out who the guys hiding behind it are.”

Director Seong nodded and left.

Geummusan stood at the window and looked down at the garden.

The flowers that had bloomed in profusion were blown here and there by the wind.

The fish in the pond are playing leisurely, but his heart is not.

“It’s very unpleasant.”

Something unknown is growing from the bottom.

It seems like it won’t just be an issue and it will come back to haunt you.

It is the sense of discomfort and crisis I felt from Lee Yeon-su while learning from her as a child.

“Tsk. Am I getting old now?”

He clicked his tongue and sipped the cold tea.

I didn’t really feel the bitterness.

Gaekal was so damaged that he looked like a completely different person than he did just three years ago.

The tooth that Geum Min-jun had broken while swinging was still there, and the left eye that had been burned by a cigarette was blind and could not see.

There wasn’t much he could do as a cripple.

I lived my life drinking alcohol every day, moving from construction site to construction site.

Then, people from Cheonwoo Industry, who were scarier than the grim reaper, came to visit.

The head office employees didn’t even dare to look at their past selves.

“Follow me.”

I wanted to ask what was going on, but I didn’t dare.

I half-forced myself into the car and just looked around.

Director Sung sat next to him.

“If you just answer the questions, you will be able to go home safely.”

He tapped the shopping bag underneath him.

There are a lot of bundles of ten thousand won notes inside.

“You can get that money too.”

Gaekal couldn’t take his eyes off the wad of money.

I swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.

“Anything.”

“The two guys who robbed the Gangnam branch. Do you remember them?”

“Yes. I remember.”

“Are these two people?”

The blurry photo is a black box video showing the front of Shinwoo and Choi Ji-sang.

Only the pupils are visible above the black mask.

Gaekal’s eyes widened when he saw that.

But soon he shook his head.

“……no.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. It was one of them who robbed the office. The other was the waiter who was being held captive. I don’t know about anything else, but I will never forget the sight of those two.”

Director Seong’s mouth was twisted.

That’s not the answer I was looking for.

Gaekal looked down at the shopping bag with greedy eyes.

“go away.”

“…….”

He got out of the car as if he was running away.

He ran into his basement room without looking back.

Director Seong looked down at the photo as if he was displeased.

I feel like my intuition has been completely disproved.

“I’m sure I’ve seen these eyes somewhere.”

Director Seong stared intently at Shinwoo’s face.

Then, soon after, I crumpled up the photo.

“Go back. Search everything again from the beginning. Since they’re human, they must have left traces.”

The basement of Gaekal.

There are three pairs of eyes watching the car leave through the window.

One of them is a pair of dog knives.

And the remaining two are Shinwoo and Choi Ji-sang.

“……I did as I was told.”

Shinwoo put down the bag he was holding as if throwing it.

Inside was five times more money than Director Seong had intended to give.

“……Are you really giving me all of this?”

“Yeah. I don’t lie.”

Shinwoo’s figure standing in the darkness could not be seen clearly.

However, the voice was exactly the same as the one I had heard in the Hidden Key office.

He looked up, startled by a thought that suddenly occurred to him as he was counting money.

“……But how did you find me? Were you watching me all this time?”

“Don’t think too deeply. What you need to know is that if you want to breathe properly and live from now on, you have to keep your mouth shut.”

The dog knife nodded.

The moment it is revealed that he lied, not only will his remaining eye be lost, but he will also not be able to die peacefully.

Shinwoo and Choi Jisang escaped from the basement and got into the car.

“How did you know they were going to come looking for the dog knife?”

“If it’s Director Sung, he would definitely do that.”

We have already seen enough of their thought patterns in the past.

If there is even the slightest connection, Director Seong digs into it persistently.

But this time, Shinwoo was one step ahead.

Already, Gaekal was one of those he was watching and he struck first.

“Eventually they will find out about us, but not now.”

That evening.

A special report about Cha Jeong-sik’s suicide was leaked on the news.

It was all as Shinwoo had expected.
