67

 

Chaos was erupting through the earpiece.

 

Everyone except for one person – Yeonhui.

 

“Hey! Don’t just space out, at least try searching for something. Wow, shit. This is big trouble? What is he saying?”

 

To Chamkkae’s pale expression, Yeonhui replied in a nonchalant voice.

 

“What can we do. Unnie will handle it herself.”

 

“How is she going to handle it?”

 

“Unnie knows Tagalog.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“She’s even good at it.”

 

As soon as Yeonhui finished speaking, Cheong-a on screen took a step toward the men and opened her mouth.

 

[Sinabi ko na kanina na magsasama ako ng bodyguard. Bakit hindi siya pinapapasok?(I told you earlier I’d bring a bodyguard. Why are you blocking him?)]

 

At Cheong-a’s voice, which seemed quite emotional, all the agents quietly shut their mouths.

 

And a fairly long conversation took place between the three people.

 

After the long conversation, a moment of silence.

 

Cheong-a turned her head toward Muet.

 

“It doesn’t look like it’ll work. Should we just run away?”

 

“What?”

 

Leaving behind the startled-looking Muet, Cheong-a smoothly turned her head to look at the two men standing with their backs to the door.

 

There was no particular agitation from the two men.

 

“Ah, don’t worry about it. I was just checking if those guys really can’t understand Korean.”

 

“Ah…”

 

“But the situation is a bit bad. Manager Oh has put his foot down saying the bodyguard can’t come in together.”

 

“…”

 

“I argued that it was already all discussed, but he said since we made it here safely, the security guard should be left outside. Hmm…”

 

Suddenly, Yushin’s anxious expression flashed through her mind.

 

−Something feels off. I just don’t like any of it.

 

But there was nowhere to turn back to.

 

Cheong-a smiled brightly at Muet.

 

“Can’t be helped. I’ll go and come back. Please wait here.”

 

Once again, multiple voices mixed together making the earpiece noisy.

 

Cheong-a, who had entered the room interior, slowly moved her steps toward the living room where Manager Oh would be waiting for her.

 

Click, click.

 

Her heart was pounding as if it would burst with each step, but it was okay.

 

Even if it had been the real Rachel standing in this position, she would have been nervous.

 

“Well, Rachel. How long has it been.”

 

At the familiar voice, Cheong-a’s gaze turned.

 

At that moment, Cheong-a had to try very hard not to frown.

 

So Manager Oh was this person.

 

Oh Semin, the foreign affairs manager at headquarters.

 

The person she had encountered several times while working at the police agency was standing before her.

 

“It’s been a long time.”

 

She had heard that 20 years ago, he had also introduced himself to Rachel with the title of manager.

 

But at that time, he certainly wouldn’t have been at manager rank.

 

He probably introduced himself to Rachel as Manager Oh with the desire to become a manager.

 

And now.

 

The man who appeared before her eyes had really become Manager Oh.

 

“Hey, come here. Sit down.”

 

“…”

 

“How is it that you haven’t aged at all? Our Rachel. Ah, you’re still so beautiful.”

 

Oh Semin, unable to take his eyes off Cheong-a disguised as Rachel for even a moment, plopped down on the sofa, spread his legs wide, and licked his lips while flicking his bright red tongue.

 

Disgusting bastard.

 

“Have you been well? Nothing happened, right?”

 

“Me? Well.”

 

“You’re being prickly meeting oppa after so long. Is it because there’s no alcohol? Here, have a drink.”

 

Oh Semin held out a whiskey glass to Cheong-a, who had taken a seat across the table from him.

 

***

 

“Ah, I can’t watch this.”

 

Doksah covered his face completely with both hands. It was because Oh Semin’s behavior displayed large on the office monitor was disgusting.

 

Through the earpiece, Chamkkae’s curses, who was sharing the screen, were flowing endlessly. Of course, communication to Cheong-a had been temporarily cut off.

 

[Nothing happened between Jeong Gwangsub and that bastard, right? It wasn’t easy for me to move, so even after sending that guy, I felt very uneasy.]

 

[If you were going to worry, you should have come yourself.]

 

[Did I avoid you? You’re the one who avoided me, so this is how it turned out.]

 

[Honestly, it’s ridiculous for people who met out of necessity in their youth to have such big expectations.]

 

[What are you saying, Rachel. You can do that. If you want it, this oppa can do anything for you.]

 

Oh Semin, who had taken a sip of whiskey, leaned his body fully toward Cheong-a.

 

[I’ve climbed pretty high now.]

 

[It seems so. Congratulations. I’m the only one who stayed in the same place.]

 

[I’ve also built up a pretty solid line. You know? That man who backed me is on his 4th term this time, 4th term. Now there’s no bastard in this field who can mess with me.]

 

Oh Semin proudly thumped his chest.

 

[So taking responsibility for just you? That’s nothing. Really.]

 

[…]

 

[Just finish this job well. Let’s live together. Okay? I’ll do everything you ask for. Let’s live passionately together again.]

 

Cheong-a tried to maintain an expression Rachel might make while spinning her whiskey glass round and round.

 

[You brought the ship manifest and transaction records properly, right?]

 

Doksah’s mouth fell wide open as he watched the screen.

 

“Hey, so Manager Oh wasn’t the head after all.”

 

[No wonder the information kept getting cut off, there was a reason.]

 

“4th term means a 4-term assemblyman, right? How many are there among current active ones? Wow, this is crazy.”

 

[I’ll start organizing 4-term assemblyman data right away. But since it could be a lie, I’ll cast the net pretty wide!]

 

“Okay.”

 

Doksah, who had been anxiously watching the monitor while talking with Chamkkae, quickly turned his gaze behind him.

 

It was because he heard the sound of a door opening behind him.

 

“Oh, Rachel?”

 

Rachel’s face at the doorway was pale. The agent supporting her had a troubled expression.

 

Doksah glared at the agent with his eyes.

 

He had told him to watch her to prevent self-harm, so what was he doing bringing her here – his look contained that reproach.

 

“Ah, I’m sorry. She heard that Detective Kim went to meet Manager Oh and insisted she had to see…”

 

Rachel trembled all over as she looked at Oh Semin’s face reflected on the monitor.

 

“There, she can’t drink that alcohol. Detective, please, don’t let her drink that. That bastard puts drugs in alcohol.”

 

Finally bursting into tears, she barely managed to say that while constantly wiping away tears with the back of her hand.

 

Doksah pressed down on his earpiece and sighed.

 

“You heard. Connect Meerkat’s communication and have Raccoon relay it. Everyone else shut up while communication is connected.”

 

[Roger.]

 

Doksah gave that order while moving his steps to approach Rachel. Then he carefully began pushing her out the door.

 

“Please stay outside. Nothing will change by watching, and it’s only bad for your mental health. There will be even rougher conversations.”

 

“What if Detective becomes in danger?”

 

“I’ll tell you right away if help is needed. Thank you for offering to help.”

 

***

 

Cheong-a’s gaze was clearly fixed on the whiskey.

 

Is there any way to get through this without drinking it…?

 

The order not to drink the whiskey had just come through briefly in her earpiece.

 

But that wasn’t going to be easy.

 

Manager Oh, oblivious to Cheong-a’s inner turmoil, was excitedly rambling on with useless chatter by himself.

 

“You saw them outside, right? Your hometown friends. You must have heard the name before. Yongryeonbang.”

 

“…”

 

“Those guys are standing by right now, all ready to send something big to South Korea.”

 

“Something big…?”

 

“Cocaine 300.”

 

Wait.

 

Surely not 300kg?

 

That would be worth over 1 trillion won at market value.

 

It would probably be enough for about 10 million people to use simultaneously.

 

The dizzying numbers made her feel like her breath was being cut off.

 

Cheong-a had to tense her entire body to keep from trembling.

 

“That’s impossible. How would that get through customs?”

 

“That’s what this oppa can pull off. That’s what I’m saying. Why do you think I went to the foreign affairs team, huh? Methods always come up. That’s how it is.”

 

“…”

 

“The important thing is that those guys are underestimating the Korean market, that’s the problem. Even when I clearly tell them that there are solid trading lines established here too, they just won’t believe it. Ignorant bastards.”

 

Oh Semin seemed pleased as he poured whiskey into his mouth and continued speaking.

 

“That’s why I needed you, Rachel.”
