Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Mysterious Rescuer

On the jungle road, we saw Ji-Won in the middle of the road. She caught a glimpse of light and saw it coming from the front. She felt a sense of relief. Blood continued to drip from her clothes, which were stained with her own blood. Her face had turned pale, but she didn't stop moving towards the end of the road.

There we saw that Ji-Won finally managed to come out of the forest, and when she emerged, she was very happy and went towards the roadside. There, she also saw a phone booth and, excited and in her pain and dizziness, she went towards the other side of the road without stopping. Then, when she had taken only three steps, she heard a horn from a car. She took a look at the car, and the headlights flashed on her face, causing her to be disoriented and fall to the ground. She saw the car coming towards her.

Then we saw that when she was unconscious, the car which was coming towards her with very fast speed suddenly stopped at only 3 meters from her. Then the door of the car was opened and a person came out from the driver's side. From his walking style, we could assume that this person is a man. He went closer to her motionless body and squatted down to assess the situation. He saw that something was flowing from her body.

By closely examining this, he realized that the girl was injured. He stood up and looked right and left, searching for a clue. Then he saw a trail of blood coming from inside the forest. By looking at her, he went closer to her wound and saw that it was very deep. Without waiting for anything or anyone, he went towards his car, opened the back seat gate, and then came towards her. He picked her up and placed her in the back seat. He took off his shirt and tightly tied it where the blood was coming from. Then he shut the car door and sat on the driver's seat. He drove away at a very high speed.

On Detective Kim's side, we saw that they had already caught the taxi driver and obtained information from him.

"Why do you have this mobile phone?" Detective Kim asked the driver in a cold and angry way.

The taxi driver, who was already fearful from the previous location, was sweating heavily and nervously said to him, "T-This is not m-mine, I-I think the girl who boarded my car left this phone by mistake."

Upon hearing this, Captain Kim confirmed that Ji-Won had forgotten her mobile phone when she got off the taxi because she was very desperate. He looked towards the driver and asked, "Where did you drop this person? Tell me about every single thing, don't skip any little information, even if it doesn't matter to you."

"When she boarded my taxi, she told me to follow a black Benz car, and I followed her instructions. We went to the outskirts of Seoul, and the car stopped at an abandoned factory. The girl got off there and went towards the warehouse. She told me to wait for her, b-but..." the driver said everything truthfully, fearing the consequences if he didn't. While he was telling them this, he suddenly remembered something and a huge droplet of sweat drained from his head. Fear was visible in his eyes.

Detective Kim and everyone became very angry upon hearing the last word, and they all had murderous intent towards the driver. "So you're saying that she told you to stop there, but why are you here?" Sergeant Choi asked him, glaring at him and gritting his teeth.

The driver, shivering, said, "S-Sir, p-please hear me o-out f-first."

Detective Kim stopped Sergeant Choi and asked him, "Say what you want to say, but don't stop in the middle of anywhere."

The driver agreed and nodded his head. "When this lady told me to wait for her there and told me that she would give me more money if I could wait for her there for a little bit, I agreed to it. Then the girl went towards the warehouse very discreetly, hiding herself. When she got inside, there was nothing to hear, but then I heard a gunshot sound. At first, I thought it was my imagination and looked towards the warehouse where the sound came from. But then, another gunshot sound came, and I became fearful. Without wasting any time, I started my car and quickly drove away from the warehouse to Seoul. I don't know what happened there, that's the whole story."

Upon hearing the driver's story, they all became tense, and their imaginations ran wild trying to think of what happened there. Detective Kim, without waiting, asked the driver to take them to the location and gave the order, "You know the location, so let's go there now. Everyone, hurry up!"

The whole police backup force and Ji-Won team member goes toward the warehouse location in full speed.
