You Are Defended - Chapter 577

Episode 577

Kang Min-jae, who confirmed that he had received a call from Dae-cheol, was reading the messages that had piled up.

Judging by the seriousness of his expression, it seems that movement has definitely been detected on the surface.

“What is the evidence that Soeun moved?”

─A little while ago, a delivery truck entered and exited Angel’s house.

“A delivery truck?”

─Yes. The license plate number is the same as the one I usually get, but the condition of the truck is strangely different.

“What do you mean the conditions are different?”

─The car model was the same, and the license plate was the same, but the part painted with the courier company mark was brand new. The license plate also felt like it was newly issued. So I thought it was 100% camouflage, so I prepared to follow it.

As my call got a little long, Kang Min-jae showed me his cell phone screen.

It was a GPS screen.

A red dot was blinking at the intersection near Angel’s House.

“Is Soeun a GPS?”

When I asked Kang Min-jae, he nodded.

There was a response from one of the GPS tracking chips that we had hidden in all of So-eun’s belongings, which we had asked college student volunteers to do.

Chips were attached to all of Soeun’s favorite dolls, clothes, hairpins, and headbands.

Since it was a product designed to allow small chips to be inserted with a syringe, there was no need to worry about it being detected, but since it was small, it was vulnerable to damage, so I didn’t have high expectations.

Moreover, there was a possibility that all of So-eun’s belongings would be taken from Angel’s House on the day of the move.

Of the numerous receivers that were actually attached, the majority were dead.

But it seems like one of them survived.

“So-eun’s current location is right in front of the Angel’s House, at the intersection of the main road. Is that right?”

When Kang Min-jae intervened and asked, Dae-cheol answered immediately.

─Yes. I followed the truck because it looked suspicious, and seeing that the truck’s location is the same as So-eun’s location, it looks like today is the day So-eun is transferred to Okayama Hospital.

Even while I was talking to Daecheol, I felt my phone vibrating.

I took my phone away from my ear for a moment to check and saw that I was getting a call from Heo Min-woo.

“Kang Byun, keep talking to Dae Cheol and receiving reports. The police officer’s phone is ringing. And for now, let’s get moving.”

I ended the call with Dae-cheol and switched to the call with Heo Min-woo.

─Attorney, I just heard that So-eun moved. Should we head to the airport first?

“Where do the police personnel on the list come from then?”

─Three of us, including me, will go from Gangnamseo, one of the remaining two will go from Seocho, and the other will go from Gwanak.

“So-eun is not far away. It would be better to move according to So-eun’s location. I’m not sure if she’s going to the airport now.

─Okay, I understand.

After hanging up the phone, I quickly poured out my words to Lee Ye-jin, who approached us with a puzzled look on her face.

“Something urgent came up, so I think Gangbyeon and I will have to go first.”

“Urgent? Is it something serious?”

“I’ll contact you again later. If other seniors come looking for me… … .”

“I’ll cover it well. Go quickly.”

As soon as we left the banquet hall, Kang Min-jae and I ran towards the entrance.

Squeak!

Taesik also received a call and pulled his car out of the parking lot in advance, and stopped in front of the hotel entrance with a sharp metallic sound.

We quickly climbed into the backseat, and I spoke to Jeong-hyeok, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

“Leave So-eun’s GPS location so Tae-sik can see it. He’ll move according to So-eun’s location. Let’s go right away.”

Boohoo!

Taesik took off as soon as we closed the backseat door.

Bam! Bang!

Perhaps because the cars were moving roughly in front of the quiet hotel lobby, taxis entering the hotel from the opposite driveway honked their horns.

“Fuck, what do you want me to do?”

Taesik muttered as if he was chewing something and then went straight down the long driveway and entered the main road.

“Sir, I left my vest there. It’s on the riverbank. Put it on first while you’re moving.”

While he was turning the steering wheel absentmindedly and changing lanes, Taesik pointed at our feet with his right hand and shouted.

I felt something tangling at my feet. It must have been a self-defense vest.

Kang Min-jae and I put our phones down for a moment and put our vests on over our shirts.

I haven’t checked all the messages that have flooded my phone yet, but I couldn’t put it off because I’ve been feeling so keenly that protecting our bodies is also very important.

“Jonghyun hyung just sent some organ trading-related materials to Minwoo hyung’s email. He said that he sent it to Minwoo hyung’s personal email address, which he usually used, instead of the police’s official email address, because he was worried that if today wasn’t the day, information could leak to the police.”

The reason I decided to send the data to Heo Min-woo was because I thought there would be people who would run into trouble later due to procedural issues.

If Heo Min-woo can make it seem like he took action after receiving a report from a trustworthy person, it doesn’t matter whether it’s an official or personal email.

Because he is already in charge of the investigation related to the Angel’s House.

“What about Lim Hyeon-il?”

“Im Hyeon-il went to the hospital this morning and hasn’t come out yet.”

If So-eun goes to Japan today, Im Hyeon-il will soon do the same.

However, I haven’t heard from Lee Se-hwa yet that Lim Hyeon-il has reserved a ticket.

This means that Lim Hyeon-il is planning to travel to Japan by means other than airplane, or is planning to use a fake passport, or is planning to buy a ticket right at the airport.

Since other means than airplanes are not feasible, it would have to be fake passports or on-site ticketing.

“No sign of movement?”

“Yes. The car is still the same, and if they were going to go to Japan today, they would have packed their simple luggage at home and left, but it seems they didn’t. So-eun might go first, and Im Hyeon-il might be planning to go tomorrow.”

Kang Min-jae summarized and briefed the messages from the staff members who were in charge of monitoring Im Hyeon-il.

Zing, zing, zinging.

In the meantime, calls poured in.

[So-eun is moving according to her GPS location. It looks like the person leaving from Gwanak will get there the fastest, followed by us.]

A message from Heo Min-woo, saying he has set off towards So-eun’s location.

[Because it’s a delivery vehicle, it can’t do any fakes and just keeps driving straight ahead. It doesn’t seem to know it’s being followed, but it’s still going towards the airport, whether it’s Gimpo or Incheon.]

Dae-cheol’s real-time report chasing the disguised delivery truck carrying So-eun.

[After the delivery truck left, there were no other vehicles or people coming out of Angel’s House. It seems like everyone was already inside the truck and moving at once.]

Even the staff members who were staying in front of the Angel’s House to make sure no one was following them were in contact.

From now on, information will continue to pour in from the numerous watchtowers we have placed everywhere.

You won’t have time to just gather information and make appropriate decisions, so you need to set clear goals now.

For now, it is right for the main force to move following So-eun.

Even if Lim Hyeon-il is designated as the chief surgeon, he can be replaced depending on the situation, but So-eun is not.

This is because Soeun had long been chosen as the heart donor to be given to Onodera’s grandson.

Without a donor, surgery is not possible.

That means, if they stop So-eun from going to Japan, the situation will end unless they risk being caught and proceed.

“Sir, where are you now?”

After gathering my thoughts, I immediately called Heo Min-woo.

If it is true that So-eun is going to Japan now, the only one who can definitely stop her is the police.

─We’ve narrowed the distance considerably. Assuming you’re going to the airport, I think you should be able to get there before you pass the departure gate. Dae-cheol is right behind you, so if you can find out the location of So-eun and the Angel’s House people inside the airport and let us know, we can chase them right away.

“Did you receive the materials that Reporter Choi sent?”

─Yes. But if the people who moved So-eun were people related to Angel House, it seems like they could block her departure without disclosing the materials. Angel House is still under investigation due to Jeong-min’s case, and it has been confirmed that the statements of Angel House people continue to be inconsistent. It wouldn’t be strange if they said they needed to investigate.

“It is highly likely that they are not officially affiliated with the House of Angels.”

─That’s right. At that time, we should first search and use the data that Reporter Choi sent when applying for a warrant. However, even if they are not affiliated with Angel’s House, it seems likely that they will use a forged passport. If there is such chaos at Angel’s House, it is unlikely that they will leave the country under their real name, even if they are an outsider. They could ask the airport police for cooperation and report the forged passport and conduct an inspection. I have kept the data just in case, but wouldn’t it be best to delay releasing it as much as possible?

“Yes.”

─Are you also following So-eun’s path right now?

“Yes. I’ve arrived in Yeouido now.”

If you see a green dome outside your window, you are near the National Assembly building.

─They will probably arrive around the same time as us. We will decide whether to contact the airport police or not depending on the situation.

“Upon arrival, we will not enter the airport and will wait outside.”

While talking to Heo Min-woo, Kang Min-jae was exchanging messages with Choi Jong-hyeon.

“I was intentionally chatting on Messenger so that other people would find it easier to follow me.”

[Choi Jong-hyun: I contacted reporter Kirihara, but he said Onodera and his mother have not been found near Okashima Hospital yet.

Jo Bong-jun: The surgery date is a bit later, and So-eun might want to go first.

Kang Min-jae: From the perspective of Angel House, they may have tried to take So-eun out before the search and seizure because they didn’t know when Jeong-min would make a statement.

Jo Bong-jun: Yeah, it doesn’t seem like surgery right away. There’s no record of Lim Hyeon-il’s bank ticket reservation. Even if he uses a fake passport, Lim Hyeon-il himself would have to go to the airport. As for the surgeon changing, Kim Mi-ja recently received a definite answer from Oda Satoshi that Lim Hyeon-il was the surgeon.

Kang Min-jae: Yes… I think So-eun moves first.]

I read through their exchanges.

I agree with you for now.

Jiiing.

Without even a moment to spare, I received a call from Heo Min-woo.

“yes.”

─We’ve caught up pretty well now. It looks like we’re about 20 minutes away according to GPS. Fortunately, the road conditions are good. The friend who left from Gwanak is currently riding a motorcycle, so we’ve narrowed the distance to about 10 minutes. I told him not to act alone until we arrived, and I gave him a picture of the truck and the license plate number with So-eun. What about you, lawyer?

“We’re still a bit far away. It’ll probably take about 30 minutes to reach So-eun.”

Taeshik shouted as if he was afraid of me answering.

“I’ll speed things up a bit!”

Boooow!

As soon as Taeshik stepped on the accelerator, I grabbed the handlebar.

“for a moment.”

─Just a moment.

When I opened my mouth while watching So-eun’s movements during the call, Heo Min-woo also shouted the same word at the same time.

Soeun’s location on GPS suddenly shifted sharply to the right.

“If I go this way now, won’t I be heading towards the airport?”

─Yes. It’s not towards the airport. I think I’ve taken a different route.

After a brief conversation with Heo Min-woo, my phone vibrated for a long time again.

It was a call from Dae-cheol, who was chasing the truck that So-eun was riding in.

─Lawyer, these kids are going somewhere else now.

“Where exactly did you fall? If you want to get to the airport, you can’t fall here now.”

─The sign says Jeonil New Town, Gyeonggi Miseong direction. This is… … .

Jeonil New Town, Gyeonggi Miseong direction.

The destination has been decided.

I couldn’t help but swear.

“Fuck, I’m going to Ribbon Medical Center.”
