"Is it worth working here?"
"... yes."
I guess it was wrong to go quietly.
"I heard you came here on the recommendation of the information team leader. "You two knew each other originally, right?"
"Do I have to answer?"
Seo-ryeong responded pointedly to a question thatseemed to be subtly probing.
The man's pretty lips were pulled up, but there was no smile at all in his eyes.
"Yes, that would be a good idea. She heard that normally she had a lady who would accompany her on this business trip, but she inevitably injured her back and was hospitalized."
".....!"
"I'm trying to fill that void, and the more sincere thequestions and answers, the better. If you understand,please cooperate."
Then this.. Is it like a quick interview? But asking for a favor was just empty words, and the oppressive air weighed on my shoulders. Then this place, this closed space, felt even more uncomfortable.
"I know him personally."
"Personally, hackers."
He tapped the steering wheel as if he was thinking about what he said. Seo-ryeong stared at his car window for so long that her neck muscle tensed. It was a gesture that no one could see as disapproving of this conversation.
"From what I know personally, Mr. Pil-gyu Jeong is a man with a wife and children."
"... !"
When I turned my head, I was immediately met with smooth, curved eyes. There, her shallow intentionswere clearly visible.
"When Seo-ryeong Han speaks briefly, my thoughts also become shorter. "Why don't we make it shorter here?"
My brow furrowed as I heard the ironic voice scratching my skin.
This man was completely different from that young,energetic guy. A man who knows how to be cunning is neither funny nor easy. Seo-ryeong coldly concealed herself and added her explanation.
"Rather than Mr. Jeong Pil-gyu, I know someone who is his sister-in-law."
"Heo Chan-Na?"
He furrowed his eyebrows and hit the clarkson weakly. The man who clicked his tongue skillfully changed lanes, overtaking the car that was cutting in.
Seo-ryeong Unconsciously straightened her shrunken shoulders. She had gotten used to it by now, but her Sudan Noise still made his heart pound.
It wasn't loud enough to make my body stiffen. Still, all of this felt like a remnant of the time I spent as ablind person.
When I had no choice but to think of Kim Hyun, my mood quickly sank..
"Do you know that he is a very capable hacker?"
Maybe he was annoyed by the congested traffic, but suddenly a low voice cut through the silence.
Seo-ryeong Barely Suppressed The Overwhelming Thoughts of Kim Hyeon and Nodded. She knew that cha nna was a hacker, but she had never heard that she was very, very capable.
"Bangladesh State Bank was hacked in 2016. Korean government was behind it, and the person at the center was a 16 year old girl.
"....!"
"That's nonsense."
The face that I had hoped would appear indifferent was broken. The man continued his words without wavering while gently turning the curve.
"North Korea is one of the poorest countries in the world, but it is also one of the countries that fosters cybercrime groups the most. Children with a talent for math are selected from an early age and raised in Chinese facilities. Heo Chan-na was the cyber warfare unit's best output."
".....!"
"Well, it was like that until I defected from North Korea."
The back of my head felt tingly. She is not just a North Korean defector, and she tried to tie me up to North Korea with such a terrible past...
I wonder how cold sweat Pil-gyu Jeong must have felt while listening to my threats. It wasn't until later that I got goosebumps at the thought that if I got involved wrongly, I could end up in a real mess.
While I was dazed, a car stopped at a red light.
"so-"
The man put the candy that was rolling around on the console between his teeth and popped it into his mouth.
One of my bulging cheeks showed a strange look.
He spoke with a very slurred pronunciation, as if he was rolling a thick egg with his tongue.
"How did we meet? No matter how you look at it, the two have no contact.
"Do I have to tell you about my personal life like that?"
"Why don't you stop rolling your head and just say what comes out when you tap it?"
"..."
"Even if it's a short schedule, we have to entrust thee crew with us, and if they're suspicious, we'll be in trouble. Even if you only get food poisoning right now, the success rate of the operation is cut in half. So, if you don't feel refreshed about something, you can't start."
I have a personality that makes me tired and doesn't want get involved. Her soul clicked her tongue silently.
"Is this a story that can't be told like that? "Why, did you ask me to illegally dig up someone's personal information?"
".....!"
The words he said with a grin really hit the nail on the head.
As she silently grabbed the hem of her clothes, her beautiful eyes suddenly hardened as if she had somehow caught that trivial habit.
"Did you really do that?"
while hesitating to answer, unsure of how much of himself he could reveal, he smiled brightly.
"I guess someone took Han seo-ryeong's money and made a splash."
He Chewed the Candy Roughly and Shrugged. It was said that such a story had been Widely spread.
I still couldn't stand the smell of other people, and I felt uncomfortable with men who left me a bad first in Mpression. But what was even more in comprehensible was his attitude.
A lightness that feels like looking inside a person, baut without any particular curiosity. That little sting got on her nerves.
Seo-ryeong closed her mouth as if in warning.
"What did I say I would do if I started talking less?" "Hey."
"It's not difficult to talk frivolously, but having poor I's another problem." Explaining the same thing twice."
The face, shaded by the tightly pressed hat, stared at SEO-ryeong. She didn't react even to the subtle accusation in her eyes. For a moment, quiet gazes were i ntertwined in the air.
"Since you're not cooperating, let me tell you Frankly."
"..."
"I write the list of overseas business trips. Also, it is better for your personal life to avoid attending special security team trips as much as possible. "This is especially true for weak-hearted people."
"... !"
"Isn't it better for Han Seo-ryeong to just commutehere?"
When the light turned blue, he stepped on the accelerator.
for a moment..... Now that means...
"So, even if it sucks, please do what I want. If you don't want to go through trouble."
Seo-ryeong tilted her head with a mysterious expression.
What does that mean? So, on the other hand, is it harmful if you go on a business trip? Doing something that should not be seen by the weak-hearted? it's crazy? That's exactly what I wanted.....!
For a moment, a strong premonition struck me like a revelation, enough to make my skin stand on end.
"They are saying that if you are obedient and answer well, they will automatically exclude you."
no....! What bullshit. You have to chase after it no matter what. This must be followed unconditionally.
Then shouldn't we just do the opposite?
After quickly calculating, she straightened the crumpled hem of her top with her hands and straightened her back.
"What do you want to know about me?"
"Heo Chan-na is someone who even failed to recruit the National Intelligence Service. Was it really worth the money?"
"that. "Don't you think that the National Intelligence Service missed it because it was a piece of shit?"
He paused for a moment, but then gently turned tha steering wheel again.
"Did you really lose all your assets?"
"More than that was ripped off. Money is not necessarily the only thing that people can make money of."I heard you've worked a lot abroad, but you're more naive than I thought."
"... So, did you catch the culprit?"
"why? Will you lend me a hand when I catch that bastard? "In terms of employee D/C or employee welfare?"
"....."
The man was silent for a moment, then took off and put his hat back on. However, a strange joy was reflected in his grinning voice.
"I guess you haven't caught it yet if you need to hit it with a foot."
"....."
"What should I do? Han Seo-ryeong looks very funny.
what... ji?
For some reason, my insides felt scratched and I glanced at him, but his face had already turned to the other side and all I could see was his smooth chin. Seo-ryeong was strangely off ended, so she even said things she didn't need to say.
"No, I'm still looking. Whether it takes months or years, I have no intention of giving up. So I don't feel sorry for it, and I think it's too early to receive sympathy."
Then, overhead, the candy crumbled again.
"If you don't even realize you're wasting your time,it usually means you've been caught by a bad guy."
But Seo-ryeong shook her head resolutely.
"....."
"No, it was the wrong person. "It's not me, it's him."
"We will meet somehow in the end."
The man stared at Seo-ryeong as if he was seeing something unfamiliar. From his eyes to his nose, from his nose to his mouth. That gaze was strangely unfamiliar and tiresome. The perfect expressionless expression even seemed displeased at first glance.
Just then, the navigation system gave out an alarmsaying that we had arrived at our destination. He parked in a suitable place and even locked the side brakes.
In the silence of the car, there was a subtle, inexplicable atmosphere. Seo-ryeong immediately unfastened her belt and released the lock button. But in the blink of an eye, the door was locked again.
what..! When she turned around with her brows furrowed, she said, "So, I'm late to say hello." He was calmly raising the corner of her mouth.
"nice to see you. "My name is Lee Woo-shin, the head of the special security team."
