Episode 138 Chicken Coop (2)

Early moning.

I was the first to receive the newspaper delivered to my house.

An article that made you not believe your eyes took up the front page.

[Hyundai Group Honorary Chairman Jang Young-joo passes away]

An incident that could turn the Republic of Korea upside down occurred.

It was a much bigger incident than Captain Kang and I had intended, and no news related to my grandfather was reported.

“Ha, you ended up going first. Hi go. “Why would a person who would go like this be so anxious to save the group?”

“Grandpa, are you okay?”

The grandfather was greatly shocked.

He looked much worse than at the accounting fraud press conference, and sat down on the sofa for a while to relax.

“Even people with great strength cannot overcome the weight of time.”

“So, grandpa, get medical treatment regularly. There is a story that people don’t go to the hospital because they are busy with work. “If you don’t go next time, I will hold your arm and take you to the hospital myself.”

“If I live longer, won’t I only see dirty things?”

It was my grandfather who was scheduled to be investigated by prosecutors soon.

My heart aches when I think of the humiliation he suffered in front of the prosecutor’s office photo line.

“Grandpa, don’t try to get into trouble by yourself. “I’m old enough to handle it.”

“I’d rather die than splash shit on my grandson.”

“Then I have to take all the shit. So you have to live a long time.”

“You bastard! Is there a joke in this situation? “Stop talking nonsense and prepare your condolences.”

I visited Chairman Jang Young-ju’s funeral with my grandfather.

Drivers were already camped out at Cheongun-dong’s home, and cars belonging to political and business figures were parked in a row in the alley.

“It looks like Chairman Jang didn’t waste his life.”

“It seems that not only people in the political and business circles but also the general public are paying their respects.”

“Among entrepreneurs, there is no one more respected than Chairman Jang. “Let’s go in now.”

I went into the house in Cheongun-dong with my grandfather.

As soon as we appeared, the mourners made way for us.

This was not because Taewoo Group was the number one group in the business world, but because everyone knew that his grandfather had a special relationship with Chairman Jang.

“It’s a lot of hardship. “How was the way there comfortable?”

“You left worrying about the current group until the very end. “It’s all our fault, so we can’t raise our heads up.”

Currently, Chairman Jang Gyeong-jun of the car was in charge of the residence.

Behind him were several of his children, including Hyundai Group Chairman Jang Young-jun.

The grandfather held everyone’s hand and talked at length, and some people even shed tears.

“May the souls of the deceased refrain.”

“You came too. Phew, I never thought I would see you again like this.”

“I think it took up too much time. “I’ll see you later.”

“You are welcome anytime.”

I ended the conversation with Chairman Jang Kyung-jun briefly and moved to the side.

Before I knew it, I was shaking hands and having a conversation with Chairman Jang Young-jun.

“I heard that Taewo Group is having a hard time because of semiconductors. “I feel sorry that we passed on the bomb for no reason.”

“no. We took over knowing that the situation would be difficult, so all responsibility falls on us. “You don’t have to feel sorry.”

Thump.

It was Chairman Jang Young-jun who raised his left hand and held my hand.

But then I felt something rough in his hand.

“Please come visit Hyeonjae Group’s headquarters sometime. “I will treat you well.”

“I’ll see you soon.”

I also naturally held hands with both hands.

I was able to recognize that something in Youngjun Jang’s hand was a note.

“There are the presidents of the Federation of Korean Industries over there. “I will go over there and scoop up the spoon, so you can go and eat somewhere comfortable.”

“I’ll see you later.”

My grandfather and I naturally dispersed.

I quietly headed to the bathroom and took out the note that Chairman Youngjun Jang gave me.

[Contact with Yoon Hyeon-gil and Jang Gyeong-jun]

You’re doing something very rude.

I never thought I would come to the mourning house and receive a note like this.

I flushed the toilet and came out as if nothing had happened.

Then I headed to the mortuary again, and the atmosphere was quite different.

Security guards in black suits were controlling entry and exit.

All the presidents of the Federation of Korean Industries, including my grandfather, were standing up.

“Is there a problem?”

“You don’t even know? “They say Russian President Putin is visiting the funeral.”

“Wasn’t President Putin’s visit to Korea scheduled for the end of this month?”

“They say they advanced the schedule. “He came into Korea with the government informed of the fact a day in advance.”

Should I say it is a tremendous power of action?

President Putin had a tendency to act recklessly, perhaps because of his confidence as president of Russia, a huge country.

I also received a call that he was coming to Korea.

However, I never imagined that the schedule would suddenly be moved forward and that I would come today.

“President Putin is entering.”

The number of bodyguards has increased further.

President Putin entered the mortuary along with the Russian ambassador.

He offered his condolences by slightly bowing his head and shook hands with Chairman Jang Gyeong-jun and other residents.

When I was staring blankly at that figure.

President Putin turned and approached where we were.

“All of Korea’s leading entrepreneurs have gathered here. I hope to continue our good relationship in the future.”

The interpreter quickly conveyed Putin’s words to the presidents.

After the translation was delivered, Putin shook hands with all the businessmen.

And finally, he shook my hand and gave me a little wink.

Why the sudden wink?

Putin was not the type of person to pull pranks like this.

It took only a few minutes for me to find out why he did what he did.

“This is the item the VIP asked me to deliver.”

A Russian embassy employee secretly handed me an envelope.

Inside was a tiny USB.

What’s going on here?

Following the note, it’s a USB.

They said that the mourning house is a meeting place, and now I can understand what they said.

***

First, I left the mortuary and headed to Captain Kang’s office.

I couldn’t help but wonder what data was contained in the USB drive that President Putin gave me.

“What is a PC with a security system installed?”

“PC 3 has a security system installed and does not have an internet connection.”

I immediately connected the USB to PC number 3.

Captain Kang and Dimon quietly came up behind me and took a look.

“Let’s see what Russia sent us? “It certainly seems like unusual material.”

“I saw the news that President Putin went to Chairman Jang Young-joo’s funeral. “Did you two meet there?”

“We will discuss the details later after looking at the data.”

I opened the USB and checked the data.

A few documents written in Russian.

It also contained several photos and numerous audio and video files.

“It appears to be Rep. Yoon Hyeon-gil’s materials.”

“I heard that the Russian intelligence agency was amazing, but I had no idea that they had this kind of data. From adultery to illegal election funding… Hey!”

“It also contains materials from an aide that I am investigating. “As expected, an aide covered up Rep. Yoon Hyeon-gil’s accident and was punished.”

It was enough data to put Rep. Yoon Hyeon-gil on the leash.

I am finally receiving compensation for supporting Putin since I was an independent.

“What are you all doing together? boss! “I’m from Korea.”

“David? Why did someone who should be in the United States come to Korea? “I never called you.”

“I came to Korea because I received a very nice gift from the White House and wanted to personally bring it to my boss as soon as possible.”

Daveed took out the 007 bag.

The bag was filled with various materials related to Representative Yoon Hyeon-gil.

“The White House sent you this?”

“Well, doesn’t it only happen for a day or two that the United States monitors Korean politicians? If you are a 5-term member of the National Assembly, it is natural to monitor. “The VVIP told me to use it as it is useful.”

The same gifts were received from Russia and the United States.

These were the leaders of two countries who unilaterally gave me gifts without me even asking for help.

“Captain Kang will have nothing to do.”

“No matter how excellent the team I lead is. “Are you just going to do the American and Russian intelligence organizations?”

“It’s not just about finding Rep. Yoon Hyeon-gil’s weaknesses, it’s about creating a nuclear bomb that can be dispatched with one hit.”

But the gift didn’t end there.

At a time when we were organizing data from Russia and the United States.

I received a call from Ma Huaming, the CEO of Tinsent.

“I received notification from the legal team that the establishment of the joint venture has been completed.”

[This is thanks to the active participation of Taewoo Group. Investment offers also came in from Europe, but the conditions were too low compared to Taewo Group. Thank you very much for suggesting good conditions.]

It was the voice of CEO Ma Hwa-myeong, truly filled with gratitude.

But you’re calling me about something like this?

“I will go to China soon and take care of the joint venture myself.”

[I would be even more grateful if you could do so. … … . And one of our employees will be heading to Korea with the contract sometime today.]

“I understand that the Taewo Group legal team will bring the contract.”

[That’s because I have information to share separately. This is a small gift prepared by an elderly person for Taewoo Group. Well then, see you next time.]

Dimon, who was listening to the call next to him, let out an exclamation.

“wow! “Is it true that China is also sending us materials related to Rep. Yoon Hyeon-gil?”

“I guess so. “If it is a gift for the Taewo Group, there is nothing else.”

“This is the first time in my life that the United States, Russia, and China are taking the lead at the same time.”

“I never expected something like this to happen.”

Three powerful countries took the initiative to offer help.

Although we maintained good relationships with the leaders of the three countries, this was not something we had hoped for.

Still, it’s not polite to decline something you offer to take care of first.

“It’s a gift from the elder.”

A few hours later.

A Tincent employee actually came to see me.

He handed me a heavy envelope and left.

“boss! “Please unpack your gift quickly.”

“First, take a deep breath. Phew!”

I went up to Captain Kang’s office and unpacked the bundle of gifts from China.

As expected, as we expected, the gift bundle was full of information related to Representative Yoon Hyeon-gil.

“Representative, the data sent by the three countries would be enough to not only end Rep. Yoon Hyun-gil’s political career, but his life itself.”

“First, let the media know about the weakest part. That way, Rep. Yoon won’t react, right? And provide the data first to media outlets that are close to Taewo Group. “That way, Rep. Yoon will also suspect us as being behind this incident.”

“If you report it to the media today, won’t it have too much of a ripple effect? “The issue will be buried with the news of Chairman Jang Young-joo’s passing.”

“That’s why I’m reporting this to the media today. “Because we can let Rep. Yoon know that we have no intention of escalating the issue.”
