The Son of The Chaebol Family Chapter 25
< You guys are screwed >
Mr. Cheol-gu threw away the pistol he had taken away.
“Put a muzzle on it so that no sound comes out.”
“I heard you were going to get a confession earlier······.”
“Oh! I see, there’s an order to everything. I’m Jung-jeong.”
Taesung Group’s bodyguards gagged the mouths of the unconscious men.
“If you have handcuffs, put them on.”
“If you have a mask, put it on.”
The Taesung Group bodyguards glared at Mr. Cheolgu with a crooked posture.
“You’ve been interfering with our work for a while now. Civilians, please leave now.”
“I told you I’m not a civilian, I’m a police officer.”
Mr. Cheolgu opened his wallet and showed his ID.
“Let’s just say that they are roughly conducting their own investigation.”
The Central Intelligence Agency mainly works to identify spies and leftist criminals sent to the South, and to collect information on North Korea and other countries.
They used to wield the powers of investigation and prosecution behind the scenes, controlling the prosecution, police, and correctional institutions.
The bodyguard took out the handcuffs and put them on.
It was an attitude that was filled with displeasure and annoyance.
Mr. Cheolgu found a few more hidden jack knives and threw them out.
Clank, clank, clankclankclank!
As Mr. Cheol-gu began to disassemble the gun, Tae-seong’s bodyguards could not hide their surprised expressions.
One of the bodyguards, unable to contain his curiosity, opened his mouth.
“The speed at which you disassemble a gun is no joke. Do you receive separate training for this in the military?”
“Oh, this isn’t a military training course, I learned it in the military.”
“Military? What unit were you in?”
“Special Forces. Somehow, I ended up only hunting down armed guerrillas throughout my military career.”
Mr. Cheolgu answered calmly.
But the bodyguard suddenly asked back with a surprised expression.
“Hey, wait a minute! If it’s an armed guerrilla···, maybe the rider······.”
“The class of the Military Academy? Or the class of commissioned officers? When I was attending the Military Academy, I got into some trouble and ended up getting in two classes.”
“Huh? If you’re the officer who caused a huge accident and made two knights kneel… what’s your name?”
“Oh my! Are you the legendary tough Lieutenant Colonel Pak?”
Even if he has the surname Park, there’s no way you’d give a lieutenant colonel a nickname like that.
Taesung Group’s bodyguards immediately saluted.
“The person who said that he hit One Star with his forehead and sent him to the hospital because he was so angry!”
“The legend of the Army that he was discharged from the army that day and ran away to the military!”
“It’s an honor to meet you!”
The respectful eyes were as hot as flames.
“The strongest soldier since the founding of the army!”
“Armed guerrillas are the worst natural enemies!”
“Specialist in spy hunting!”
“Collector of the Spy Catcher Medal!”
It must have been their first meeting, but in an instant, the favorability and loyalty of the Taesung Group bodyguards seemed to rise rapidly.
“Oh, you were looking for the masks earlier, right? We don’t have any masks, but here are some coffee-colored stockings. Should we put those on these little guys’ faces?”
“Colonel Pak, we’ll take care of these kids!”
“There’s no need for Lieutenant Colonel Pak to have to go through all that trouble because of these petty criminals!”
Mr. Cheolgu furrowed his brows.
“No. Maybe these guys aren’t robbers, but spies.”
“Let’s just say he’s a spy. I’m an expert in this area. I’m from the Central Security Department.”
“Ah······! As expected!”
Certainly, all the titles given to Mr. Cheolgu seemed to be related to ‘spy’.
“So you’re leaving these kids to me?”
“Is there any chance!”
Mr. Cheol-gu grabbed the unconscious agents by the collar and dragged them away.
He was even humming a tune, and his steps were very light and brisk.
“Oh, why are these bastard spies never eradicated no matter how many times I beat them!”
The place where Mr. Cheolgu stopped walking was in front of a faucet that was set up for watering the garden.
The man opened the faucet with all his might.
It was a bonus to increase the pressure by pressing the end of the rubber hose.
The Jungjeong agents were suddenly doused with cold water on a midwinter night.
I suddenly came to my senses.
“Ugh! Ugh, ugh, ugh!”
But his mouth was gagged, his hands were handcuffed, and his body was tied up tightly.
It wasn’t easy to open my eyes because of the stockings that I didn’t even know when they had been put on.
It was already night, and the shade from the garden trees was very thick.
That made it even more creepy. It felt like I was dragged into a torture chamber in the basement of the palace.
“Do you know who you’ve just messed with?”
“Did you ever feel something strange while climbing over the wall?”
“Why are there so many guards at the house? Why is the fence here so high? Who the hell is that kid talking like this? You don’t understand a thing?”
“But somehow I think I know this one thing.”
Mr. Cheolgu smiled brightly.
“You guys, did you really X it?”
It seemed as if Mr. Cheolgu’s threat had worked, and the desperate struggles stopped.
“Do you want to disappear without anyone knowing by attempting to assassinate an important person?”
They shook their heads desperately.
“As for what to do with you guys… Let’s think about it after you beat us up.”
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
It was the sound of a door breaking.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
I just slapped her cheek with my palm.
For some reason, the sounds of flesh bursting and bones breaking were also heard.
I broke off the line of sight with the Grim Reaper.
I felt relieved at how well Mr. Cheolgu beat me.
It was a skill that could make even the nation’s top gangsters back down.
If you have the skills to defeat armed guerrillas and even receive a medal, then that says it all.
‘He paid back the debt he had slapped me on the cheek and poured water into the water jug with a lot of interest. He was so cruel and beat me up! I really liked him!’
Leave the intruders to Mr. Iron Gu.
I picked up a poker and stirred around the campfire.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes with steam rising from them.
It was a snack to share with the bodyguard and Mr. Cheol-gu who worked hard to catch the thief today.
It’s only natural to want to give something to someone who has had a hard time!
“Gentlemen, you must be suffering from the cold! Come here and have some snacks!”
Of course, there are also accompanying drinks.
Taesung Group’s bodyguards blinked their eyes.
“1947 White Marlin Red Wine?”
“We also have a 1959 Rapigburg red wine!”
“Hey, how much does this wine cost?”
“It’s all the same once it enters the stomach. If you’re going to drink it, you should drink something good.”
“No, my lord. I guess you are still young and don’t know much. If you give me something like this without permission, you will be in big trouble later.”
“If I give my drink to my man, who will say anything to me?”
This is the wine that was in the wine cellar in the bunker in the basement of our house.
As expected from a well-made cellar, the wine was stored in very good condition.
“You’ve been working hard outside all this cold winter night, so I should treat you to something like this. Can we just have one drink each so you don’t get drunk?”
Taesung Group’s bodyguards nodded their heads, licking their lips.
I put out the bowl of vegetables I had brought from the kitchen.
“But I thought it would be disappointing to drink it in a wine glass, so I chose a slightly larger glass.”
In an instant, thunderous applause poured in.
There’s no need to look so moved.
Oops, I forgot the wine opener. Can’t help it.
I picked up a jackknife that was rolling around on the garden floor.
“Your Majesty, put that down! It’s dangerous!”
I simply popped the cork.
It was a skill learned at a pawn shop.
Again, I’m good at opening safes, I’m good at opening doors, and I’m also really good at opening bottle caps.
This red wine is so good that you can open it in one go without even needing a wine opener!
This time, the applause was not enough, and they even whistled.
Before I knew it, the Taesung Group bodyguards were looking at me like I was a cute animal.
This kind of look is awkward. I can’t get used to it.
I decided to change the subject.
“I can take off the handcuffs too. Can you take off those too?”
Why do you look at me like I’m looking at an increasingly strange animal?
When there’s a drinking party going on, it’s only natural for children to leave.
I gave a polite belly bow.
“Thank you so much for protecting my mom and me. Thank you.”
Taesung Group’s bodyguards laughed heartily.
“What? I was just doing what I had to do.”
“I am truly grateful that your Majesty was not hurt.”
“Master, it’s cold out here. You shouldn’t stay out here any longer. You’ll catch a cold.”
“I’ll give you a sweet potato. I’ll also give you a baked potato that’s just the right amount of doneness.”
Mr. Cheolgu came walking with a relieved expression on his face.
“I came with a dream. I am here~♬ All sorrow and pain, get out of the way~♬”
Somehow, it felt like ten years of stagnation had gone away.
The death countdown that had been flashing above Mr. Cheolgu’s head also disappeared.
‘Did Mr. Cheol-gu really almost die because of those guys?’
Honestly, I’d like to throw those kids out on the back mountain.
He was beaten so badly and even splashed with cold water, so he probably wouldn’t be able to avoid death.
But this isn’t a back alley world, and there are a lot of eyes watching.
“Ohhh! I was already hungry! Sweet potatoes! Baked potatoes! But no chestnuts?”
The person who ate dinner like a beggar and even ate an entire bag of fried bread!
I whispered softly in Mr. Cheolgu’s ear.
“Sir, what are we going to do with those kids?”
“Don’t even dream about it, because I have no intention of letting those bastards come in with guns and stay in my house.”
I said, folding my fingers one by one.
“The street, Seoul Station, a park bench, a police station. Or the mountain behind the house!”
“Wow! You’re a genius! You’re so smart! That’s a great solution! Hahahaha!”
As expected, Mr. Cheolgu was also in the back mountain!
“In the winter, there’s no place better than a police station detention center where they throw you a blanket to keep your mouth shut. Hahahaha!”
Mr. Cheolgu put his hand under my armpit and spun me around.
What a fucking child’s body!
What’s so funny about this!
Chairman Cha listened to Secretary Kim’s report in his home office.
He looked very tired.
It was because of the executive meeting of all affiliated companies that was urgently called in the afternoon.
Reports continued from each affiliate, and the Q&A time became longer.
The more this happened, the louder Chairman Cha’s voice became.
“Everyone is saying that there are no problems! There are so many things they want to do, but no one has prepared the follow-up work thoroughly! Does it sound like they’re just saying that if they do things roughly, they’ll somehow be able to do it?”
That was the reason why Chairman Cha was still so angry.
“Why do you all just say, like a parrot, that there’s nothing to worry about! And when I ask about your performance, you say you’re sorry and embarrassed!”
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became.
“These guys aren’t doing the work they want me to do! They’re already just waiting to see who they’ll give their all to! I’m not dead yet! They’re such annoying guys!”
Instead of the hot honey water his wife brought, Chairman Cha drank the ice water that Secretary Kim brought.
“I am determined to win this subway line 2 construction project by any means necessary.”
“That will be the case.”
“A large-scale construction project with an estimated bid of 180 billion won! The estimated construction period is at least 5 years! A nationally important facility that requires world-class civil engineering technology! A piece of Korean history that Seoul citizens will recall every time they commute to and from work!”
Chairman Cha clenched his fists.
“I want to write that history in Taesung’s name.”
“Of course it will be so.”
“Since Woo Gwang bribed high-ranking officials, the media, and politicians indiscriminately, Taesung cannot just sit still.”
On Chairman Cha’s desk was a file with a black cover.
The title on the cover is < Report on Wookwang Construction’s slush funds>.
It was top secret information from inside the palace that my seven-year-old grandson had given me.
“Even if Woo-kwang spread bribes, Tae-seong must reap the harvest.”
It was a weapon that the young grandson who I met for the first time brought as a bribe, asking for a favor.
How can I express in words how wonderful it is?
So from now on, this old man will step up and do it properly!
“Let’s give each of the guys listed here a shot. Secretly, quietly, but creepily. You know how to threaten them, right?”
“Of course. I will move without a trace and turn the arrows of anger towards Woo-kwang.”
“Okay. There’s less than a month left until the subway construction bid. Do you need more manpower?”
“No problem. I’m thinking of releasing the back-alley troubleshooters and hiring some temporary cleaners.”
“Okay. Then who are the Japanese guys that the president of Wookwang Construction called in this time?”
Secretary Kim’s cold eyes flashed behind his silver-rimmed glasses.
“I need to get some advanced civil engineering technology for underground tunnels, so I’ll have to meet them in person.”
