#182. Boom! 2
Kim Cheol-woong asked at Kim Jae-hoon's expression that he had definitely heard that.
“D-DAY… What day is it today?”
“I’m not sure about that.”
Kim Cheol-woong nodded his head, lost in thought.
Even though he has known Woojin for a long time, he doesn't know what's on his mind, so how could this person know?
But this much was certain.
Kim Cheol-woong smiled and said.
It goes without saying that Woojin has a keen eye for people.
“Let’s do our best.”
“I will work hard!”

Director Cho was sitting on the sofa at home.
The news was on TV, but his eyes were unfocused, as if he was thinking about something.
Not even ten minutes had passed since then.
Director Cho opened his mouth, his eyes fixed on the TV.
“Minji.”
The daughter, who was sitting at the table with her mother, turned to Director Cho.
“Huh? Dad, why?”
“Break up with that guy.”
My daughter's boyfriend graduated from medical school and was working as an intern at a hospital.
The family situation was not good.
The daughter got up from her seat with surprised eyes and approached Director Cho.
“Dad, what are you talking about all of a sudden?”
Director Cho answered with his eyes fixed on the TV as before.
“It’s said that you should not meet a person who is not your type.”
"dad……."
Director Cho cut off his daughter.
“I’m telling you not to meet any guys who ask you to open a practice later. I know that there’s a good guy in the prosecutor’s family next week who’s got a position for him.”
"dad!"
At that moment, Director Cho's wife approached him with surprised eyes.
“Honey, is that true? You’re from a family of prosecutors?”
Her surprised expression was replaced by delight.
“Yeah, tell Ji-seong to wrap up his business within this month.”
I was pushing my son with my connections, but that was as far as it went.
It was not able to move forward and was just stagnant.
His son will have a car from Shinwha Group.
It doesn't stop there, you can achieve more.
Because you have a lot of cards.
“What does that mean?”
Director Cho did not respond to his wife's words any further and went into the study.
Then I sat down and played a video on my phone.
It contained the chairman's appearance.
"ha…."
At the chairman's actions and voice, Director Cho sighed deeply while sinking deep into his chair.
It seemed as if the days when I was scolded and praised by the chairman were flashing before my eyes.
Suddenly, I think I hear the chairman's words.
'People, you know. You shouldn't show your true colors. If you show your bare bottom, you won't be able to survive. Even flies will swarm you, wondering if you have anything to eat.'
Director Cho rubbed his face with both hands.
Soon, I opened my eyes again and fixed my gaze on the video.
The corners of her eyes turned red as if they would fall off at any moment, but that appearance disappeared in an instant as if the moisture had dried.
“Mr. Chairman, I will make it happen. I will make sure that you, Chairman, will live forever in people’s minds, while still healthy. Don’t worry about Shinwha Group. I will protect it. I will… even if it means that my children will continue the family line.”
Deep in his eyes, greed seemed to swirl.
Soon, Director Cho turned off the video, made a phone call, and held the phone to his ear.
-Yes. I'm waiting.
“What’s the situation?”
-The bodyguards are nowhere to be seen. Judging from the housekeeper, it seems certain that the chairman is there. It was the same yesterday.
Director Cho nodded slowly.
The timing is also right.
“He was the type of person who always went to sleep at 1 a.m.”
-All right.
Director Cho told the other person once again to not forget.
“The bathroom tiles must have been very slippery.”
-yes.
“The time is 2 a.m.”
-yes.
Director Cho, who had been holding his cell phone to his ear for a while without saying anything, spoke again.
“You have to take good care of it.”
-All right.
After finishing the call, Director Cho got up from his seat and walked towards the window.
A splendid city view was unfolding before him, but he felt uninspired.
All I could think about was the corruption and insolvency of the owner's family, which I had been asking about for a long time.
If you use those cards… .
Director Cho, who was lost in thought, muttered.
“Mr. Chairman, Shinwha Group will continue to expand in the future. I will make it happen. I promise.”

The time is 8 o'clock.
A man holding a selfie stick was speaking with a smile.
“Everyone! We’re almost there! Oh no! I’m telling you! I’m not wasting time. If you don’t eat in 3 minutes, I’ll end the show. I promise this on my ‘Jekyll Man’ hand!”
He was doing his own personal internet broadcast.
[Oh! Behind!]
[John Ye behind you!]
[Behind! Behind!]
[Body ㄷㄷ]
“Yes, behind?”
He glanced back.
As the viewers said, a beautiful woman was walking towards them.
He turned his head back to where it was and pointed the camera so that the woman could be seen clearly.
“Brothers, don’t you have a mission? Since we’re outside, let’s get a mission!”
He kept his eyes steadily on her as she walked behind him.
The woman slightly lowered her head and covered her face with her hair, perhaps noticing his intentions.
And as I walked past him, he changed his camera settings so that the screen was facing forward.
Her rear end was broadcast in its entirety.
The idea was to use the thumbnail to attract more viewers.
[What a body…]
[Let's go yakking!]
[Let's go hunting]
He intentionally put her on air, but the words he said were different.
“Wait a minute. Guys, is this the right way?”
Of course not.
I was following her for the thumbnail.
[Let's go hunting, not Pupa]
[Let's go guest recruiting!]
As he intended, viewers started coming in and the chat speed also increased.
At that moment, a police officer followed her.
He passed her and the police casually.
“Guys, this doesn’t seem to be the right way. It’s to the left. To the left.”
That was when BJ Lee started walking.
"teacher."
A voice came from behind me.
BJ turned his body to confirm who the voice belonged to.
It was a police officer.
It was none other than Woojin.
"yes?"
“Infringement of portrait rights without permission may result in a claim for damages. In addition, under the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, a maximum of 5 years in prison or a fine of up to 30 million won may be imposed.”
BJ's face turned bright red.
“I’ve never done that before?”
“Shall we check the broadcast?”
“No… That’s it. It’s just a picture of us going to a restaurant?”
Woojin winked at a woman with an uncomfortable expression on her face.
“Just watch the video again. If you delete it, I won’t sue you.”
“It’s true…”
There was chaos in the chat room.
[Legend lol]
[Goodbye. You won't go far.]
[Is the spirit tablet okay?]
The viewers, as if nothing had happened, were now standing on the opposite side and enjoying the situation.
Woojin said.
“So you’re not going to erase it?”
“I’ve never taken a picture before….”
"All right."
As Woojin turned his back without any hesitation, BJ, who had been rolling his eyes, quickly followed him.
“I didn’t mean to, but if I did, I’ll erase it.”
Woojin nodded.
“You can erase it in front of the lady.”
After BJ ended the broadcast with an awkward expression, he deleted the saved video.
"sorry."
The woman looked at BJ like he was a bug and disappeared, and Woojin spoke to BJ who was left behind.
“Don’t take advantage of people who don’t care about you. Those people will eventually take advantage of you too. I’ve seen that happen a lot.”
“I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.”
As BJ smiled and bowed, Woojin nodded while watching his subtle expression.
“Then, thank you for your hard work.”
BJ Lee turned his back and walked away, turning on the broadcast.
“Ah, brothers! There was a slight misunderstanding!”
Woojin muttered while talking on the phone somewhere, his gaze fixed on his back.
“Before another victim appears.”
His face told a lie.
As soon as the other person answered the phone, Woojin said.
“Reporter Choi Ki-bae, there was a brief scuffle after a VJ filmed a civilian. The VJ was called ‘Jekyll Man’, and it was resolved amicably, but I want to scare him so he doesn’t do it again. The title of the article is ‘Filming a civilian and then evading the blame…’”
After finishing the call, Woojin started patrolling the area again.
* * *
10 o'clock at night.
The area around the villa was quiet.
All that could be heard were the sounds of birds, whether cuckoos or turtledoves, and the sound of a running stream.
There were two men watching the villa from afar.
They were dressed like hikers, their faces covered with cloth, and one of the men, who was checking the time, opened his mouth.
“Don’t relax. You have to be alert.”
"All right."
The two were aware of all the CCTV footage at the entrance to the villa, so they returned by another route. They changed vehicles several times on their way here, making it difficult to track their movements.
Minutes and hours passed and the cold-looking moon rose high above.
The time is 1:00 AM.
Another hour passed and the light coming from the villa went out.
"let's go."
The housekeeper had already left work and no one had gone into the villa yet.
The two immediately started moving.
I didn't head towards the villa door because there was a CCTV watching it, but instead headed towards the sliding window leading to the living room.
One man put down his hiking backpack and started taking out his tools.
And then he started quietly removing the security windows.
The machine's sound was smooth and quiet, as if it were well-oiled.
He quickly removed the security window, inserted a thin tool into the window frame, and lifted the window up and down several times. To his surprise, the lock was unlocked.
The sound was so low that it was hard to hear.
Even more so if you're sleeping.
“I’ll take you straight to the bathroom. We’ll finish up right there.”
Now, the chairman's cause of death would be death by negligence.
“I’ll tell you again, wake up. Starting tomorrow, our lives will change.”
The two who had been watching the surroundings went inside.
As expected, it was dark inside, and the only sound was the quiet running of the refrigerator.
The two of them began to carefully open the doors one by one.
At that moment, one of the colleagues who had opened the second door signaled to him by raising his flashlight while he was looking into the other room.
It meant that they had found the chairman's bedroom.
Soon the two entered a dark room.
In the silhouette lying slanted in the bedroom, a man opened his mouth.
“Mr. Chairman Lee.”
The blanket rustled at his voice.
It seemed like I woke up not long after falling asleep.
He opened his mouth again.
“Mr. Chairman, Director Cho told me to take good care of you.”
The rustling silhouette seemed to stretch out as if stretching.
Knock knock.
They felt something strange about the sound of their joints stretching freely and shined their flashlights on the chairman.
however.
It wasn't this chairman.
Woojin, who was stretching, opened his mouth to them, rubbing his eyes as if he was still half asleep.
While scratching up to the neck.
“Ouch… what time is it now?”
