“Wait a moment.”

Yushin quickly finished parking and hurriedly plugged the earpiece into his ear to activate communication.

“Tell me the details.”

[Crazy. Crazy. Crazy meerkat. Really insane. He was cleaning Yang Dongjun’s room when suddenly he said “Why is this bastard’s name here?” and started running around, rustling through things for a while? Then he said “So you were setting up lines here?”]

Hearing Chamkkae’s report, Yushin kicked open the car door and rushed out, starting to run toward the hospital building.

“Are you sure? What evidence did he base that on!”

[An Iju. Choi Eokgyu, Jo Areum.]

“What?!”

Standing in front of the elevator, Yushin unconsciously shouted loudly.

[Remember? They’re all Yang Dongjun’s patients. The meerkat mentioned their names!]

An “ah” of dismay escaped from Yushin.

It was information they couldn’t find even after staking out for over a month and combing through the hospital like hunting for lice. It was bewildering that a single police officer had narrowed down the investigation so quickly to identify an insider at the hospital.

He abandoned the elevator and started running up the stairs.

“How did the meerkat figure that out?”

[I’m not certain, but it seems like he went through the trash from Yang Dongjun’s room. Probably… at the Waste Collection Center.]

“Damn, we should have infiltrated a janitor too.”

Entering his room, Yushin took long breaths to catch his breath.

After checking the watch on his wrist once, he spoke again.

“Exactly 6 minutes from now. That’s when Yang Dongjun stops by the Medical Office.”

Though he hadn’t identified the Cheongwha Faction’s lackey, Yushin had already filled his head with the movement patterns of the hospital staff.

Taking another deep breath, he spoke in a low voice.

“I’m going to take him down now.”

[You personally? So suddenly? You can’t even fight.]

“Ah, I don’t know. I have to try somehow. If the meerkat extracts information from Yang Dongjun, the police will get involved!”

[That would be troublesome!]

“That’s why I need to make the first move.”

The minimum time to get from the Waste Collection Center to the 5th Floor of the Main Building where the Professor’s Office was located was 10 minutes. Even running at full speed.

So the optimal time for Yushin to strangle Yang Dongjun’s neck and extract information was right now.

[This is driving me crazy, really. Wait a moment.]

Chamkkae’s voice echoed loudly through the earpiece.

The urgent voice looking for Doksah could be heard, and then several people’s voices came through to Yushin.

And in less than a few seconds, they delivered an organized opinion.

[Doksah says it’s a go, but is it possible?

The security personnel haven’t started work yet, and Mute is… nearby but it’ll take some time. 10 minutes. No, uh. About that much.]

“Where is the meerkat now? Let’s assess his movement and proceed as quickly as possible.”

[The thing is… maybe because he swallowed the bug and is running around, the signal isn’t picking up well. I’ll let you know immediately if we somehow salvage the information and detect movement.]

“Okay. I’ll signal when I’m ready to go in.”

Yushin quickly moved his body and stood in front of the mirror.

Neatly combed hair. Large glasses to hide his eyes.

A face still unfamiliar was looking back at him.

“…”

He took a deep breath once.

Then he pushed his fingers between his hair and roughly tousled it. The neat hair instantly became disheveled, covering his forehead.

He took off his glasses and shoved them into his pocket. Then he took out surgical gloves placed in front of the bookshelf and put them on. Finally, he put on a mask to cover his face.

In the mirror remained a man who was ambiguous to identify as ‘Professor Min Yoo-shin’ at first glance.

Looking at his watch once more, he began organizing his room.

He wiped fingerprints from the keyboard, mouse, and everywhere his hands had touched, and quickly put all the books piled up in the room onto the bookshelf.

30 seconds before Yang Dongjun’s scheduled stop at the Medical Office.

Still organizing his room until then, Yushin opened the research lab door and stepped out right on time.

Click.

The door sound echoed in the quiet Corridor.

Yushin muffled his footsteps and walked toward the Medical Office. The early morning Corridor was empty as expected.

Yushin reached for the examination room desk on his way. And very quickly picked up a 5cc syringe and an 18-gauge needle.

Skilled hand movements unwrapped the syringe and attached the needle. In an instant, the cap covering the needle tip was removed, and the syringe barrel filled with air as the plunger was pulled.

This was the tool that Yushin, who wasn’t particularly good at fighting, could use most like a weapon.

Yushin hurried his steps.

Arriving at the corner in front of the Medical Office, he stopped and held his breath. It was exactly the opposite direction from the path Yang Dongjun took after finishing his morning exercise.

Soon, the squeaking sound of shiny rubber soles dragging could be heard.

Yushin had no doubt that it was the sound Yang Dongjun was making. What followed was the sound of entering the Medical Office password.

[Beep, beep, beep.]

[Beep-beep-beep.]

The door lock opened and with a click, the footsteps disappeared into the Medical Office.

Yushin looked around once more to confirm no one was there, then immediately followed him into the Medical Office.

Yang Dongjun was standing with his back to the door, placing cup noodles on the table and opening the lid.

Yushin very quietly closed the Medical Office door and removed the battery from the door lock. Then he quietly turned the latch to lock the door.

Yang Dongjun seemed completely unaware of what was about to happen to him, humming a tune. It was quite fortunate for Yushin.

Silent steps slowly moved toward Yang Dongjun. The distance between them quickly narrowed, and the syringe was thrust deep into Yang Dongjun’s nape.

“Hng?”

The sound of the syringe piercing through the carotid artery rang out slightly louder than the sound of inhaling.

Yang Dongjun’s unusually rapid pulse spread throughout his nape through the needle.

The needle had pierced his carotid artery.

Yang Dongjun, being a doctor, couldn’t not know this.

He couldn’t dare move his body and only rolled his eyes to try to look around.

Yushin leaned his head forward and brought his face into Yang Dongjun’s field of vision.

“Hello, Dongjun. You know what happens if you move, right?”

“…”

Min Yoo-shin’s low, rough voice pierced Yang Dongjun’s ear.

Yushin’s original voice that he had never used once in the hospital.

The unfamiliar appearance with his bangs messily disheveled.

And such a tense situation with his carotid artery pierced.

For all these various reasons, Yang Dongjun couldn’t conclude that the person before his eyes was Min Yoo-shin who used the research lab right next door.

Thump.

Thump.

Only his heartbeat grew faster and faster.

Yang Dongjun’s gaze still moved around restlessly. Worried the syringe might shake, he asked Yushin in a very small voice.

“You… who, who are you?”

“Idiot. Would I tell you?”

Yushin slightly shook the syringe embedded deep in his nape.

“Hieek!”

Yang Dongjun’s reaction was quite a sight.

“Dongjun. What did you give to the drug dealers?”

“…”

“Tell me quickly if you don’t want to die. I don’t have much patience. This is an 18-gauge needle, and I’ve filled it full with air too?”

Yang Dongjun’s eyes squeezed shut, and Yushin smiled coldly.

At least 5 minutes.

That was the only scenario in which Yang Dongjun’s life would be maintained.

Safely remove the needle without further vascular damage. Then properly apply pressure for at least 5 minutes to complete hemostasis.

Knowing this, Yang Dongjun trembled all over, unable to even swallow his saliva properly.

“I, I am. What did I.”

“Sseup. I came knowing everything.”

Yang Dongjun spoke in a very small voice without using his vocal cords.

“I, I just… introduced, just introduced.”

“So what exactly.”

“P, PC Bang. PC Pop… Bang.”

“What’s that.”

“I don’t really know well… P, PC Pop P… Bang, they told me to find Luna. Luna,”

“Wait. Shh.”

A palm wearing surgical gloves covered Yang Dongjun’s lips. It was because Chamkkae’s urgent voice had burst through the earpiece.

[Scalpel emergency, emergency! Meerkat heart rate 120!]

A very brief silence flowed through the Medical Office.

Yushin’s mind became complicated.

Just moments ago, he had heard a report that Kim Chung-a seemed to be running. That movement had stopped.

‘Her heart rate, which was stable even while running, suddenly jumped to 120 bpm?’

The reason for Cheong-a’s elevated heart rate was most likely because she was eavesdropping on this conversation. One corner of Yushin’s mouth curved up slightly.

“Ah, shit. Really, why is she so perceptive. She’s so cute it’s driving me crazy.”

“Huh?”
