You Are Defended - Chapter 580

Episode 580

Jiiing.

How many minutes had passed since Lee Se-hwa requested the support of the police special forces?

The phone rang from an unknown number.

“yes.”

─Are you Attorney Cha Ju-han?

On the other side of the phone, the wind was howling loudly.

Fortunately, I was able to have a conversation, but I raised my voice a little more, worried that there might be a miscommunication.

“Yes.”

─I am Jinwoo Lee, team leader of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency Special Forces Team 1. I am contacting you at the direction of the chief.

“I’m sure you’ve been informed of the operation location by the chief, but this is Miseong, Gyeonggi-do. Isn’t the Seoul Metropolitan Police Special Forces in Seocho? How long will it take to get there?”

─We will be moving by helicopter. We will land at Pyoyoung Elementary School, which is 5 minutes away from the operation location, and we will arrive at Pyoyoung Elementary School 15 minutes from now. You asked me to give you the details of the operation from your lawyer, so please explain the situation.

This is unusual.

The fact that the command of a special police force with world-class special mission capabilities has been handed over to a mere lawyer.

It is so unusual that it cannot be expressed in words, and it is something that not only the special forces leader but all the special forces members would object to.

However, there was not even the slightest trace of discontent in the speech of Jinwoo Lee, the special forces team leader.

The President’s directive made this absurdity possible.

Lee Se-hwa told me that if the special forces did not follow my orders or found fault with me, I could sell myself to them as much as I wanted, but I don’t think that would be necessary.

“There is an unlicensed medical facility at the operational location. It is registered as a house, but from the outside it looks like a mansion. An illegal organ transplant operation is scheduled to take place inside it at around 11 p.m. today. Considering that the recipient of the organ transplant is the grandson of a powerful foreign politician and that the illegal medical facility operator has a huge amount of capital, it is expected that there will be a considerable number of security personnel.”

─I hear there will be a lot of resistance. It seems like it will take time to resolve the issue.

“It looks like the surgery will be performed around 11 PM, so if it takes 20 minutes to arrive, you should have some time to spare. There is a greenhouse in the operation location you were told about, and the illegal medical facility is located inside a small hill that leads to Songjusan right behind the greenhouse. However, the illegal medical facility has installed CCTVs here and there, so please do not enter the hill, but move to the street and enter the greenhouse. If the illegal medical facility notices that the special forces are coming, it will be difficult to apprehend the criminals.”

─I understand what you mean. I will move without the special forces noticing that they are nearby.

“I sent a photo to the team leader’s number. This is the location of the nearby CCTV.”

The team leader was silent for a moment at my words, then answered sharply.

─I’ll keep that in mind. I’ll get back to you after we land.

As soon as I hung up the phone with Lee Jin-woo, I immediately called the National Intelligence Service.

He couldn’t answer the phone while still on the motorcycle, but judging by the time, it was almost time to get there.

─Oh my gosh! I just got here!

Fortunately, the National Intelligence Service answered the phone right away.

Judging from the commotion around them, it seemed like they had just arrived in front of the greenhouse.

“Hacking the CCTV installed outside the building at Ribbon Medical Center.”

When we first started monitoring Ribbon Medical Center, we didn’t find any CCTV other than the entrance.

But later, when I got my hands on the blueprint and checked the electrical wiring, there was a CCTV.

Considering that the device wasn’t even detected, it is presumed that only the electrical wiring was done at the time and the CCTV installation was done later.

─Huh? No, it’s Ushin. They have their own security company. Are you talking like you’re hacking the CCTV of a small company?

“You can, you can’t.”

─No, you have to try it first to know. When I checked the electrical wiring and related materials, it seemed like it was using a network format, not analog?

“Even if you say that, I still don’t understand.”

─The network type is more difficult. Huh, shit. Okay, I understand. I’ll try, but what should I do with it after hacking it?

“The police will enter Ribbon Medical Center. They will be waiting in the secret passages and side doors to catch anyone who escapes. So the internal control room must not know that we are entering.”

─So, you’re saying that we need to replace it with a video of a peaceful state where nothing is happening.

“yes.”

─No, lawyer, haven’t you watched too many movies? Do you think that’s all you need to do just because you tell me to?

“I don’t have time, so just do it first.”

─What time do I have to finish by?

“At least 10:10.”

─You’re giving me so little time. I’m just saying this just in case, but you can’t get the storage for more than 10 minutes. I’ll try to change the video for now. Hang up. I have to hurry. Hey! Bring me a chair!

The NIS yelled at the employees inside the greenhouse and then hung up the phone.

“Even if we don’t hack the CCTV, wouldn’t it be okay to take control of the side door and secret passage before advancing to the main and sub entrances? If Wooshin finds out that they’re surrounded, he’ll probably be prepared for an all-out war. There are roads to the main and sub entrances, so he’ll think he can just push them away with his car. Since they’ll be in a chase once they get to the main road anyway, you just have to shake them off. Daecheol said that there are only places you can go by car unless you have a mountain bike, so I think we can just block them off.”

Kang Min-jae asked after hearing the National Intelligence Service’s nervous voice.

Even the National Intelligence Service seems to think that hacking CCTV would be difficult.

“Yeah, I said there’s a designated place to get in the car. If you want to walk down, you can get down anywhere. If you bypass the main entrance, the side entrance, the side door, the secret passage, and go over the fence and into the forest, then?”

“We’ll have to search the forest area separately, though… … .”

“Of course, if the hacking fails, we’ll have to do as Kang Byun says. But the Ribbon Medical Center site is so large that it’s impossible to catch all the guys who come over the fence. Besides, if you go all the way back from Ribbon Medical Center, you’ll reach Songju Mountain. If they sneak in there, we won’t be able to catch them even if we search all night.”

“… … But what if the NIS tries to hack and ends up detecting a security threat on their end? Wouldn’t that be more dangerous? Do you trust the NIS’s capabilities to that extent? You don’t believe that they can hack foreign governments, do you?”

This is what the National Intelligence Service said one day while drinking with them.

Before meeting me, he was struggling financially and was seriously developing a hacking program for the purpose of spying on politicians in order to sell it to foreign governments.

Now, I’m saying that it’s good because I give him a lot of money so he doesn’t have to do that.

Taesik and Kang Minjae both thought his words were bluff, but I didn’t.

Because the word truth was floating above his head.

“How much time do we have until we arrive?”

I didn’t bother answering and changed the subject.

“We’ve just entered the Misung Tunnel, so it’s 10 minutes!”

In the next 10 minutes, we might be able to get there a little faster than the special forces.

I was so busy talking on the phone that I didn’t even check my phone messenger, and there were already over 300 messages.

This was because Kang Min-jae was sharing the content of my phone call in the group messenger room as soon as he heard it.

Although I trusted him, I quickly scanned the messages to make sure there wasn’t any miscommunication.

“You did a good job. Kang Byun’s typing was so fast. I thought you were a stenographer.”

“Now you see my incredible organizing skills.”

Ten minutes later, we arrived in front of the greenhouse.

“Attorney!”

It was about 15 minutes after So-eun entered the Ribbon Medical Center.

Fortunately, the road conditions were good and we arrived a little earlier than expected.

We are scheduled to enter the Ribbon Medical Center with the special forces at 10:15, so at 9:25, there are only about 50 minutes left.

As soon as I got out of the car, Daecheol and Hyungshik came running out.

“What about you, sir?”

“Stay inside. The riot police have arrived.”

As we went inside after being guided, the greenhouse was already crowded with riot police officers and detectives including Heo Min-woo.

“The riot squad arrived first.”

“Attorney.”

Heo Min-woo, who had been busy talking with the riot police, looked back at me as if he heard my voice.

The total number of mobile units was 33, and since one unit was said to be moving, I wondered if the unit commander would be there, but fortunately, there was no one who looked that old.

The special forces were people that Lee Se-hwa had personally assigned, so it didn’t matter, but the riot police were people that Heo Min-woo had called, so there was a chance that he would be offended by the lawyer establishing the operation.

After exchanging greetings with the leaders of the riot squad just to save face, I went to a corner to talk with Heo Min-woo.

“If the NIS succeeds in hacking the CCTV by 10:10, the task force will move to the secret passage at 10:15. If they fail, it will still be 15 minutes. When the special forces arrive, we will hold a full operational briefing.”

“All right.”

While Heo Min-woo headed toward the riot squad, I looked around the inside of the greenhouse.

“The National Intelligence Service?”

“Over there.”

The form pointed to a corner.

He was sitting with his laptop on a plastic agricultural box, typing busily on the keyboard.

“Brother, the lawyer is here… … .”

“No, leave it alone.”

Hyungshik tried to approach the NIS and let them know that I was there, but I shook my head.

Judging from the fact that they couldn’t hear anything despite the noise all around, the NIS seems to be quite focused.

Jiiing.

After roughly finishing the traffic control, I was finally able to sit down at a table in the middle of the greenhouse when I got a phone call.

“yes.”

─This is Jinwoo Lee from Special Forces Team 1. We have just landed at Pyoyeong Elementary School and will be moving in front of the vinyl greenhouse. There are 19 people in total, including the team leader.

It looks like there are two teams moving.

I felt reassured by the generous support.

I spread out a large printed copy of the Ribbon Medical Center design drawing on the table.

One main entrance, one secondary entrance.

Two side doors, three secret passages.

There’s a lot to cover.

We need to pay careful attention to personnel placement.

“Where were the design drawings for the Ribbon Medical Center?”

“Here it is.”

Kang Min-jae brought the design drawings that were on the table.

I stuck the map on the whiteboard and picked up a marker.

“Call the detective.”

While Kang Min-jae went to pick up Heo Min-woo, I quickly wrote something on the whiteboard.

[* Main entrance

Heo Min-woo

Special Forces Team 1 Leader

4 special forces, 5 riot police

* Sub entrance

Detective 1

Special Forces Team 2 Leader

3 special forces, 5 riot police

* Side door 1, 2

1 detective or 1 riot squad leader

2 special forces, 3 riot police

* Secret passage 1-3

Mobile Team Leader 1

1 special agent, 3 riot police

* External support

[3 special forces, 8 riot police]

By the time I put down the board marker, Heo Min-woo was standing behind me.

I asked him.

“How about this level of personnel arrangement?”

“It’s just right.”

“I will leave the composition of the teams and units to be deployed to each operational location to the mobile force and special forces team leaders.”

Heo Min-woo nodded.

“The President has shown great generosity. If there are 19 special forces, that would be 10 percent of the number of special forces in the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.”

“I feel like I should at least bow deeply when I see the President.”

Kang Min-jae said while taking a picture of the personnel distribution chart.

It’s not that it’s not, it really seems like it should be that way.

“Attorney! The special forces have arrived!”

Daecheol shouted.

“Are you Attorney Cha Ju-han? I am Team Leader Lee Jin-woo of Special Forces Team 1 who spoke to you.”

A special force of 19 soldiers, as strong as a thousand horses, entered the vinyl house.

It was fortunate that the place we made our base was a vinyl greenhouse.

If the indoor space had been small, there would have been no room for the 33 riot police and 19 special forces.

“This is Police Officer Heo Min-woo from Gangnam.”

Heo Min-woo and the two special forces team leaders shook hands briefly.

The time now is 9:35.

There are now 40 minutes left.

“Now that everyone has arrived, we will begin the operational briefing.”
