Chapter 153

Settling with the Central Intelligence Director (2)

I drank ssanghwa tea slurp in the room next to Cheongwongak.

Yu Jong-tae and Uncle Cheol-gu were absorbed in eating burying the nose in the rice bowl.

Eating hurriedly like a beggar who starved exactly three days.

“Young Master, the food here killing? So this the Republic of Korea’s highest class fairy?”

“The yukgaejang soup just, exactly for hangover. Keu~”

Whether so or not.

I flicked a finger.

‘Hey, guardian deity.’

[Busy, busy! Secretary Kim side, President Shim side?]

‘Naturally Secretary Kim side. Have to watch the central intelligence director’s decision first?’

[Understood!]

The underworld messenger disappeared like smoke with a slide to the right room.

* * *

The room inside the underworld messenger looking down.

The central intelligence director was tilting the poured alcohol repeatedly.

Making the statement former inspection bureau director and subordinate central intelligence agent wrote as side dish.

Whirring.

Making the sound flowing from the recorder stamped with the central intelligence mark as accompaniment.

-Security chief, heard His Excellency the president very angry because of Koreagate?

-Would know if saw the newspaper. Quite a headache not ordinary.

-How about ousting the central intelligence director in this opportunity?

-Hmm, how?

-The central intelligence director’s mission is returning former central intelligence director Kim Hyeong-won. I am thinking of persuading him and defecting to Europe where His Excellency’s hand doesn’t reach.

-······Will work?

-Where ordinary relationship former central intelligence director Kim Hyeong-won and I. Have confidence to persuade.

-Haa?

-If only so the current central intelligence director also can’t help but be dismissed like former central intelligence director Shin Ji-su, and that seat will become my share as scheduled.

Beyond the recorder a sound of smiling faintly came.

The Blue House security chief’s sneer.

-Don’t I know Kim Hyeong-won? That bastard a tough one who ate the central intelligence director seat alone for 6 years 3 months.

-Security chief?

-The bastard who endured the longest in the central intelligence director seat. What meaning would that be?

The Blue House security chief’s voice became rougher and rougher.

-Suddenly boasting largely in front of me saying will simply roast and boil such a guy? What reckless guts this again?

-Can do. Please entrust and believe.

-If know how much I shit blood pulling that bastard down from that seat! You shouldn’t take out such sound in front of me.

Crack.

A sound of grinding teeth.

-That bastard’s hand strength poisonous. A guy who rolls the head shady.

-Know.

-If for the purpose enters political maneuvering not distinguishing means and methods. A bastard who repays even grace as enemy?

-Yes, that also know well.

-If you properly know that bastard can’t easily do such dog sound.

The Blue House security chief snorted.

-The bastard who transformed the central intelligence into the nominally best power institution is precisely Kim Hyeong-won.

Kim Hyeong-won was the one who solidified the system and foundation of the infamous intelligence agency in the dictatorship era.

-People’s Revolutionary Party incident, Nationalism Comparative Research Society incident, European spy group incident, East Berlin incident, National Welfare Association incident.

Kim Hyeong-won unfolded political maneuvering not distinguishing means and methods for the president’s long-term rule.

-Illegal political funds procurement, forming slush funds with political-business collusion with large companies, Kim Yeong-seon nitric acid terror incident, opposition party terror incident, illegal wiretapping, surveillance, kidnapping, torture, assault saying eradicating the 3rd term constitutional amendment opposition.

Kim Hyeong-won established large merit in pushing the 3rd term constitutional amendment, but was discarded by the president.

-A bastard who knows His Excellency the president’s shame better than anyone. Because a guy who cut all things that would become obstacles to His Excellency’s moves with own hand.

The Blue House security chief’s voice lowered one layer more.

-Such a guy fled to the US and reported His Excellency the president’s corruption to the US House of Representatives?

A tongue clicking sound followed.

-How much headache if His Excellency stuck that annoying bastard as central intelligence director?

-Security chief, so in this opportunity together hit the central intelligence director······.

-Hey, Deputy Director Yoon! Taking out such talk to me catching Kim Hyeong-won’s tail?

-Central intelligence agents are desperately digging the back. Contact is right in front.

-Hahahaha. Talking X.

The Blue House security chief laughed largely.

-Don’t roll the head saying doing tricks that don’t work, just report the central intelligence director’s every move correctly.

-Security chief!

-A great person whose checks, obstructions, traps, schemes all trivial. Tsk tsk.

The conversation concluded with that for now.

Click.

The recorder also stopped with that.

‘Not knowing the subject and acting then got scolded largely.’

The central intelligence director also spit the same sound as me drinking alcohol in one mouthful.

“Not knowing the subject and running wild then got scolded largely.”

One line commentary regarding the central intelligence 1st deputy director’s tricks.

“Certainly with this can cut the troublesome Deputy Director Yoon without aftertaste.”

A faint smile hung on the central intelligence director’s mouth corner.

“Dare trying to go against His Excellency the president’s meaning. The security chief also hard to cover saying own family.”

What I intended.

“Surely not trying to obstruct receiving North Korea’s instigation? This a serious matter that have to drag to the Seobinggo water torture room and properly dig the back.”

The water torture of the central intelligence 1st deputy director the power holder next to the director in the central intelligence was confirmed on the spot.

The central intelligence director’s gaze cold as frost gently loosened.

“This also Taeseong’s brain’s skill?”

“Yes.”

“The young friend quite talented.”

“Overpraise.”

As Secretary Kim accepted without particular resistance, the central intelligence director’s eyes loosened even more.

“There are words I conveyed to Taeseong’s brain last time.”

“The domestic high-performance tank performance test at the tank factory. Conveyed thankful for the director’s consideration.”

“Hahaha. Thought barely repaid the debt then this the debt increased one more.”

The central intelligence director laughed readily.

“With what to repay the merit of removing the eyesore stuck at the tip of my chin.”

“Will be satisfied with only that?”

The bowl small!

“That person proposed processing Koreagate?”

“Koreagate?”

The central intelligence director leaned the body forward with a face very appetizing.

“Seems Taeseong’s brain has separately conceived?”

“Of course.”

Secretary Kim rang the small bell put on the drinking table.

Clang clang!

A clear and clean bell sound rang.

The promised signal.

* * *

I looked back at Uncle Cheol-gu.

“Uncle, fighting!”

“Ahem! Just saying as taught enough? Such a thing!”

Uncle Cheol-gu stood up from the seat and went out to the corridor.

Knocked knock knock on the next room sliding door.

“May I enter?”

Inside the room the central intelligence director looked back at Secretary Kim.

“Thinking of letting in an uninvited guest?”

“Selected the right person to process Koreagate.”

“Hmm?”

“If the director permits thinking of introducing once. Not inclined at all?”

“What kind of figure?”

“The figure who secured the statement and recorder the director saw, and the person who grasped Kim Hyeong-won’s whereabouts.”

“What?”

The central intelligence director opened the eyes a bit large.

But instantly the eyes returned to original.

Secretary Kim added.

“A central intelligence agent belonging to the public security bureau.”

“Central intelligence?”

The central intelligence director opened the eyes large.

The gaze bright sharp and vivid.

“Among central intelligence agents belonging to the public security bureau was there a capable guy who can cut Deputy Director Yoon’s neck, and even process Koreagate?”

A very interested appearance.

“If a talent of that level seems would have heard ear-numbingly. Who?”

“If the friend the director personally put up at the press conference hall would remember?”

“What? I personally put up at the press conference hall?”

The central intelligence director’s eyes flashed.

The head toward Secretary Kim abruptly turned toward the sliding door.

“Tell to enter right away.”

Clang clang.

The sliding door opened without hesitation slide.

Uncle Cheol-gu muscular large like a brown bear walked with big strides.

Bow.

“Nice to meet you. Public security bureau belonging agent Park Cheol-gu.”

“Park Cheol-gu? For what matter did you rise to the press conference hall?”

“Stood in front of the camera to announce the U-gwang Chemicals arson incident.”

“U-gwang Chemicals? Ah!”

The central intelligence director burst into hearty laughter largely.

“The friend who burst the bribe ledger and caught U-gwang’s Chairman Kim was precisely you!”

The central intelligence director gestured readily.

“Sit. Very many words wanting to ask.”

Uncle Cheol-gu sat flop in the seat the central intelligence director recommended.

The central intelligence director took out a new alcohol cup and handed to Uncle Cheol-gu.

Secretary Kim tilted the ceramic alcohol pot and poured alcohol trickle.

“How thinking of processing Koreagate?”

“Such a thing just catch Kim Hyeong-won, divert the lobbyists, collect the bribe ledger scattered lobby enough?”

“What? Hahahaha! This a quite refreshing and fiery friend like the appearance!”

The central intelligence director laughed largely.

But the laugh sound soon subsided.

“Acknowledge the guts boasting largely in front of me, but the matter not so easy as words. Kim Hyeong-won not such a soft guy······.”

“I have no thought of roasting and boiling Kim Hyeong-won at all.”

“Then?”

“If securing the person thinking of forcibly returning right away.”

“Ha?”

“If the director personally packages prettily and presents that guy in front of His Excellency the president enough.”

“Oh!”

The central intelligence director’s expression became worth seeing.

A face where joy and gladness, interest and expectation, concern and doubt coexist.

This also the intended picture.

“That guy’s specialty escaping like a loach. Even if personal security secured hard to catch easily.”

“So determined to dry the fund line first?”

“Think the slush funds Kim Hyeong-won diverted one or two pennies?”

Kim Hyeong-won accumulated enormous slush funds while sitting in the central intelligence director seat.

The money diverted behind watching the backs of large companies was enormous.

Would have been enjoying a luxurious US exile life secretly hiding that money.

“The first I tried two maneuvers. Persuading Kim Hyeong-won and recovering the fund line.”

The central intelligence director made a bitter smile.

Could guess the reason.

‘Because the central intelligence director’s two plans all failed.’

Kim Hyeong-won trying to persuade hid in the US shade, and publicly disclosed the sent letter in the Washington Post and gave huge disgrace.

The fund line also how tightly hidden, no path to find at all.

“Luckily I caught one clue. Grasped Kim Hyeong-won’s whereabouts.”

Uncle Cheol-gu pointed at the note I wrote and sent.

“Robert Han. The name Kim Hyeong-won is using in the US. Heard nested near LA Koreatown.”

“Exact address?”

“Entered here.”

Uncle Cheol-gu tapped own head with a finger.

‘Deliberately made not write the exact address on the note and only write the rough outline.’

Can’t cook porridge and give to the dog!

“Director, can’t entrust this matter to me?”

“A friend with ambition more than looking.”

“Because the grace to repay quite enormous.”

Uncle Cheol-gu smiled confidently.

“I specialize in searching and catching suspicious guys tightly hidden.”

“Kim Hyeong-won is playing tag with central intelligence agents for 2 years now.”

“Such a thing only disguised spies secretly sneaked into Korea? I find such guys quite well.”

“Moreover Kim Hyeong-won’s fund line······.”

“Such a thing would it be harder than drying the fund line of the north remittance fund book?”

“Tsk, what of you do I believe? Think this a matter that works just because intention ahead?”

Secretary Kim added one word.

“The director also would know. This friend precisely caught the U-gwang Construction bribe ledger.”

“What? The U-gwang Construction bribe ledger? This friend?”

“Know well what matter occurred with the U-gwang Construction bribe ledger.”

Thanks to the U-gwang Construction bribe ledger the Blue House could grip the weaknesses of high-ranking officials and military generals and establish discipline.

One more.

In the U-gwang Construction bribe ledger list the central intelligence director’s name was also written.

But that name and bribe amount not went up to the Blue House and returned to the central intelligence director’s hand.

The central intelligence director immediately understood.

“I owed a debt to this friend. This a friend more capable than thought?”

The central intelligence director drank alcohol heartily.

“Seems to know now how the matter turns. Why Taeseong’s brain brought that list to me.”

The central intelligence director made a meaningful smile and alternately pointed at Secretary Kim and Uncle Cheol-gu with a finger.

“Seems Taeseong’s brain watching this friend’s back?”

“Became so.”

“Then the talk changes.”

The central intelligence director snatched the alcohol pot Secretary Kim was holding and filled own cup and Uncle Cheol-gu’s cup, and even Secretary Kim’s cup.

Not like him who always only received treatment after becoming a counted power holder.

The spending was quite bold.

“Drying the fund line Taeseong brain’s thought?”

“Of course.”

“As expected! I knew so!”

“So speaking. Can also hand over the command of the central intelligence agents and lobbyists dispatched to the US to this friend?”

The central intelligence director narrowed the eyes thinly.

“Demanding extraordinary authority delegation. To a mere public security bureau agent.”

“Not a matter His Excellency the president personally ordered the director? Have to push that level.”

“Hmm.”

“A matter that even concentrating resources and unifying command whether okay or not. Know what kind of figure Kim Hyeong-won is.”

“Hmm.”

“The situation the US government stepped forward and protecting the person. Heard bloodshot catching the lobbyists?”

“Hmmmm.”

“Have to push with full power and see the solution at once? Will prove the ability to the director with the result.”

Tak.

The central intelligence director put down the ceramic alcohol cup.

“Good. Since a matter to receive His Excellency the president’s meaning I will endure the risk of the unreasonable number.”

A matter of gathering command and investigation rights to a mere central intelligence agent.

“Instead the deadline 1 year. Possible?”

We were determined to see the match within three months.

“Will do best!”

“Laughing? Just demanded processing the matter that was sluggish for 2 years within mere 1 year?”

“Just entrust!”

“A heavy mission of returning that Kim Hyeong-won, and even diverting the caught lobbyists.”

“Will certainly successfully complete the mission and return!”

“Good!”

The central intelligence director hit the knee with a thud.

He looked back at Secretary Kim with an excited face.

“A matter of receiving His Excellency the president’s meaning. If this friend and Taeseong join forces and cooperate and help my work I also will help Taeseong fully.”

“Thank you!”

Secretary Kim also answered with an excited face.

A power holder’s promise was quite heavy.

“Three. With this level enough?”

“Thank you!”

The meaning of unconditionally pushing Taeseong as many as three.

‘Even hanging one debt a great success, promising three? Hit the jackpot!’

The reason Secretary Kim also very excited and couldn’t manage the expression.

“So speaking. I also thinking of attaching one condition.”

“Condition······ speaking?”

“Since a heavy matter not at ease with only this friend.”

“Then······.”

The central intelligence director said cutting sharply.

“Hope Taeseong’s brain personally steps forward and processes certainly.”
