My Calling Is Profiler [EN]: Chapter 435

“That man probably didn’t think we’d accept 1 billion either.”

But we did, and that’s why the negotiations started to go wrong.

“Plus, the negotiations seemed too easy.”

“Seemed easy?”

“Yes, so I told them to accept unconditionally.”

If they bicker, raise their voices, and exchange complicated expressions, the boss who arrives will judge that it is a difficult situation. However, if they simply accept the demands as Park Do-joon said, the boss will think, ‘What? Negotiation is nothing.’

“Then, humans want to step forward and take the credit.”

‘It’s a big mistake that he didn’t even know about his own people, whoever he is.’

There is a saying in strategy that you have to deceive your allies in order to deceive the enemy. This can be seen as meaning that you have to do things thoroughly, but at the same time, it also means that you have to properly judge your allies.

He did not accurately judge his allies, and as a result, the negotiations fell apart.

“Then isn’t it more of a problem?”

If they push in from China, they won’t care about the hostage’s life and will shoot them all to death.

“I know. But we will carry out a rescue operation before that.”

“Rescue operation?”

“Yes.”

Park Do-joon nodded and said.

“How? We don’t even know where they are?”

“It’s here.”

Park Do-joon shook his cell phone.

“What are you going to do with that?”

“Just watch.”

Park Do-joon started manipulating his cell phone. It wasn’t complicated. Turning off everything that could drain the battery. From basic operating apps to even the screen brightness was minimized. The sound was also completely muted.

“There’s something I told you to prepare in advance, right?”

“Yes, that’s it. Could it be…….”

What Park Do-joon told them to prepare in advance was cash. It wasn’t to give the criminal organization ransom money in cash, but because giving them some money would make the negotiations smoother.

There is a completely different sense of resistance between asking for 50 million after giving them money and talking about 50 million without giving them money. It is more advantageous for negotiations to give them money and negotiate smoothly.

“Due to the nature of criminal organizations, all this money will be taken by the higher-ups.”

But they can take the money they are given separately.

“Criminals’ thoughts are obvious.”

Park Do-joon smiled and went to their car to take out a bag.

“Stay here.”

Park Do-joon carried the bag and slowly went to the car they came in. And as expected, there were guys guarding the car.

‘As expected.’

Perhaps because they were lower-level members, they didn’t even cover their faces, and they immediately went into alert mode when Park Do-joon approached.

“Who are you!”

“I came from the negotiating team.”

“Why are you here?”

“I brought a gift.”

Park Do-joon raised his hand and shook the bag. And those who were quick-witted realized what it was.

“Leave it there.”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t do that.”

“What?”

Park Do-joon said confidently to them as they frowned.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t trust you two.”

“This bastard?”

“Can you take responsibility if this is handed over to you and things go wrong?”

In other words, what am I supposed to do if you guys embezzle it? The two men frowned slightly at that. Because that’s what they were actually thinking. The higher-ups wouldn’t know if they embezzled the money appropriately.

“Don’t even think about embezzling money. I see you have someone you know over there.”

“What?”

At those words, the two men’s eyes shook.

“You brought him from Korea, right? Don’t pretend you don’t know each other when you work in the same field.”

“Are you with Wang Woo-hwan hyung [older brother or respected male figure]?”

Park Do-joon spoke so well in Chinese and seemed to know so much about the industry that they thought Park Do-joon belonged to their gang and said it without realizing it.

‘What a windfall?’

I thought it would be difficult to find out his name, but I got his name unexpectedly.

“I’m not from the same family. However, I belong to a different organization and was hired over there to negotiate.”

“Hired?”

“Yes.”

They looked suspicious at those words, but they didn’t ask any more questions. The fact that he brought money meant that there was a high possibility that he belonged to that industry. It’s common to use this to get things done.

“Okay, then here in the trunk…….”

The guys who had hoped to embezzle a little bit smacked their lips as if they were disappointed. Park Do-joon shook his head at their words.

“Wouldn’t that be a little difficult?”

“What?”

“No, there must be equipment in there?”

“Ah…… equipment.”

Of course, the equipment here didn’t mean shovels or anything like that.

‘There must be rifles in that trunk.’

We need to prepare for things going wrong and this side might betray us.

“I don’t want to cause a misunderstanding.”

“I know what you mean.”

They could approach the gun, take it out, and start shooting, and if the bag was on top, it would be difficult to take out the gun in an emergency.

“I’ll leave it in the back seat. You have to check it anyway.”

“Okay. But I have to check the money.”

“Yes, gladly.”

Park Do-joon handed over the bag, and the guys who confirmed that there was a considerable amount of dollars in it opened the back door so they could put it in.

Park Do-joon put it in there and pretended to organize it, and quickly stuffed his cell phone between the seats.

“You must have thought I was going to do something to the bag, right? Heh heh heh.”

But Park Do-joon didn’t do anything to the bag in the first place. Because they will definitely search it. Instead, he put his cell phone, which could be tracked, in the gap between the seats.

Generally, they don’t suspect that place.

“Please give my regards to Wang Woo-hwan hyung.”

“Okay.”

They pushed Park Do-joon out as if they were disappointed, and Park Do-joon smiled and left them. Not long after that, a group of people came out of the tent, panting.

“Let’s talk again tomorrow.”

‘I knew it.’

Well, the gap between 1 billion and 50 million won is too big. It is only natural that it would fall apart.

“Let’s go!”

“Yes, Ta-ke [take care/goodbye].”

Park Do-joon smiled inwardly as he watched the group leave without looking back.

# Let’s raid the headquarters

“You planted a cell phone?”

“Yes, I have activated the location tracking function.”

Park Do-joon said that while turning on another cell phone. And the cell phone was located in the middle of the jungle at first glance.

“Well, I’ve checked the moving location, so it won’t be difficult to find the way.”

Of course, looking at the map, the path they were taking seemed to cut through the jungle like magic. But they wouldn’t really be flying in the sky, so we can assume that there is a road that only they know.

“Hmm…….”

At those words, the Taiwanese people became worried. The reason why the Chinese army is not carrying out a large-scale rescue operation now is because they do not know their exact location. However, now that Korea has learned of the location, there is a possibility that they will tell China and proceed with the rescue operation.

“Ah, of course, we won’t try to kill everyone and carry out a rescue operation.”

Park Do-joon smiled as if to reassure them, as if he knew they were worried about that.

“If we do that, there is a possibility that Koreans will also die during the rescue operation.”

“That’s true. But just because we know the location doesn’t mean we have no reason to go there, does it?”

They didn’t even tell them the location, but they went there and asked for an agreement? They will probably kill them all and run away that day.

“Just think of it as securing a card in case of an emergency.”

“A card in case of an emergency?”

“We can change the negotiation target.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“The place is ruled by Chinese criminal organizations, including the Triads [Chinese transnational organized crime syndicates].”

“I know all about that, but?”

So aren’t they negotiating with them?

“But they are not the ones who control that place.”

“They are not?”

“Yes, as I have said several times, it is the Karen rebels [an ethnic group primarily located in Southeast Myanmar] who control the place and hold the people.”

“Ah!”

Yoon Tae-min exclaimed at Park Do-joon’s words.

“Are you perhaps trying to negotiate with the Karen rebels?”

“That’s right. Power comes from weapons.”

And the Karen rebels have the weapons and they actually do most of the control.

“Are you suggesting we negotiate with the Karen people?”

“It’s not impossible. The Karen people are in a difficult situation right now.”

“Why?”

“The Karen people are not capable of fighting China.”

The reason why the Karen rebels were able to hold out in the first place was because the Myanmar army was weak and they could not push the army in completely due to the nature of the jungle. But what about the Chinese army? That’s a different story.

They have enough manpower to push in troops without hesitation, and they can just fly in a helicopter and shoot them.

Because they won’t care about the hostages.

“Furthermore, we, no, China doesn’t know where the hostages are being held. All they know is one thing. The Karen rebels are holding the people.”

“That’s right.”

“The Karen people are not only in that place.”

Not all Karen people are gathered there, and they are scattered everywhere. However, the guys who have joined hands with the organ trafficking guys are quite bad units.

This is possible because even if they are rebels, they do not exist as a truly unified army, but as a kind of warlord.

“What if Myanmar tries to inflict a fatal blow on the Karen people this time?”

“How?”

“It’s not difficult.”

All they have to do is point out a suspicious Karen base. And then the Chinese army will launch an attack using helicopters.

Of course, they can’t keep doing that, but they can recommend a place with a high probability in a situation where they don’t know the location, and if they’re lucky, the Chinese government will designate the wrong place and destroy three or four Karen rebel bases.

“And considering the characteristics of China, they won’t announce it to the outside.”

China won’t say anything to the outside even if they sweep the wrong place because they don’t know whether it’s a rebel base or an ordinary Karen village, and the Myanmar military is the same. They can just deny it, saying that they only made a recommendation.

“And no matter how much they are rebels or a kind of warlord, wouldn’t they have each other’s contact information?”

“Hmm.”

In the worst case, they can change the negotiation target from criminals to Karen rebels.

“That would definitely change the story.”

Yoon Tae-min nodded. Criminals think they will eat all the money through negotiations.

“But not the Karen people.”

Of course, they would have received a considerable amount of money. But as a result, they are also criminal organizations. And there is no such thing as loyalty to each other between criminal organizations.
