The Cop Is Too Strong [EN]: Chapter 131

131. Reverse Kidnapping (2)

Yong-pal was the driver and leader of the van.

The moment Haru was dragged into the van, he noticed something was off by looking at her eyes in the rearview mirror.

She was kidnapped, but there was no panic in her eyes. No fear, just a dry look, like a…

‘Predator…!’

Yong-pal’s hunch was right. In less than a minute after getting in the car, she’d killed two men and incapacitated another.

Then, she even had the audacity to tell him to go to the place they were trying to kidnap her to. It was clear she was confident that no matter how many people were there, or how well they were prepared, it didn’t matter.

Yong-pal gave up on the idea of attacking her early on and nodded his head vigorously.

“Yes, yes, I’ll leave right away….”

Vroom-

“Take this one to the back.”

“Yes, yes, keuh….”

At Haru’s words, the man with bloodshot eyes, bleeding profusely from his thigh, dragged his already-cold colleague to the back seat.

Swish, swish.

Next came a strange sound that stimulated the imagination. Yong-pal, unable to overcome his curiosity, glanced at the rearview mirror.

She had a knife in her mouth, taking off her blood-stained clothes and changing into other clothes from her bag.

Changing clothes with enemies in front and behind wasn’t carelessness, but 余裕 (yeoyu) [余裕 (yeoyu) means余裕, or having leeway/surplus].

Yong-pal couldn’t dare to have other thoughts while looking at her perfect figure. She just looked terrifying.

‘I messed up, I messed up! Shit….’

* * *

The van stopped in front of an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city.

Creak-

When the van door opened, Haru was gagged and her hands were tied in front of her, unconscious.

Yong-pal and his subordinate, who had a bandage on his thigh, took out the limp Haru.

“Ooh, she’s here, she’s here, pretty girl.”

Bae In-sung, who was sitting on an old sofa inside the half-open door playing a mobile game, grinned and ran out.

Then, he noticed the injured man and narrowed his brows slightly.

“What’s this?”

“She resisted a bit too much.”

“Still, she’s a cop, so she must have given you a hard time. Pathetic bastards. Getting beaten by a woman—did only two of you go?”

At Bae In-sung’s question, the two looked at each other, gauging the situation, before Yong-pal nodded.

“Yes.”

“You underestimated her too much because she’s a woman. Well, as long as the result is good. Wow, she’s even prettier when I see her like this. She should be an actress, not a cop, don’t you think?”

“That’s right.”

“Right, my ass. She should be my toy. How much did you feed her to make her completely lose her mind? Take her away.”

“Yes.”

The place they took Haru was a control room on the second floor of the factory. It had a large glass window at the front, so you could see the situation inside the factory at a glance.

Bae In-sung laid Haru on a three-person sofa and admired her, examining her from her face to her legs.

“Wow… ah, I’m hungry. Let’s take a commemorative photo first.”

He took a picture of Haru, who was unconscious and tied up, with his phone.

“Now, send this… where should I send it?”

This time, his secretary answered Bae In-sung’s question.

“A burner phone on Telegram. By now, Shin Hae-soo… that grumpy detective must have received the phone. The number is….”

Bae In-sung interrupted his secretary and threw his phone.

“You send it, you bastard.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Sent.”

“Are you sure you did it right?”

“Yes, I’ll be going around in three decoy taxis.”

“Okay, ah, I’m so excited, I wish he’d come soon.”

The secretary stared at Bae In-sung’s excited face for a moment before cautiously asking.

“Are you planning to keep watching from here? What if he recognizes you….”

“No, I have to watch this elaborate setup in person. Why would I watch it on a monitor just because my face might be recognized? If that’s the case, I’d watch TV, you bastard. Step on the gas here so I don’t have time to think, then it’ll be fine.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Bae In-sung squatted down in front of Haru, admiring her, and suddenly rummaged through his pockets.

“Ah, she might wake up.”

He took out a pink rabbit eye mask that he had prepared in advance and put it on Haru.

“Hey, how can she be so pretty even with an eye mask on? Ah, wait, what should I do? Should I create a scene where you guys threaten her and I save her, and then seriously try to date her?”

“Um, then the plan we’ve prepared so far….”

“That’s that, but first, I’ll beat up that grumpy bastard, hand him over to the police, and then proceed with the next scenario.”

At Bae In-sung’s words, the secretary put his hands together and nodded deeply, as if impressed.

“As expected, you are 탁월 (takwol) [탁월 (takwol) means outstanding]. Then, as soon as we deal with this Detective Shin Hae-soo… no, this grumpy detective, I will proceed with the next scenario….”

Bzzzz-

At that moment, the secretary’s phone rang.

“Ah, they say the taxi has left. Shall I call the police?”

Bae In-sung, who was grinning as he looked at Haru’s legs, turned around and hit the back of his head.

Thwack!

“Are you crazy? Why did we set up this whole thing if we were going to do that? We have to beat him to a pulp and make him crawl under my crotch, right? Make him a rag and then let the police clean up the mess.”

The secretary stroked his tingling head with a blank expression, then quickly raised the corners of his mouth and bowed his head.

A dog wagging its tail couldn’t have looked any different.

“Ah, yes, I was short-sighted.”

Bae In-sung was trembling, expressing his rising anticipation with his whole body, when…

Screech-

The warehouse door opened.

* * *

“Thank you for your hard work. See you tomorrow.”

“Yes, thank you for your hard work!”

“Thank you for your hard work, seniors!”

Creak-

On his way home from work, Shin Hae-soo, who had changed into plain clothes, left the police station.

And on the way back to his accommodation, a motorcycle rushed towards him.

Vroom- Screech!

As if to scare him, it stopped in front of Hae-soo with a sudden brake, and then threw a phone at him.

Hae-soo reflexively snatched it out of the air.

Vroom-

Then, just as he was about to leave, Hae-soo quickly ran and grabbed the back of his neck.

Vroom-! Crash!

The motorcycle went forward and fell over, and the helmeted man was dragged by Hae-soo’s hand and hung dangling.

“Cough, cough, l, let go of me. Breath, breath…!”

Hae-soo held out the phone he had just received to the man who was choking.

“What is this?”

“I, I don’t know. They just told me to deliver it quickly!”

Only then did Hae-soo open the phone to check.

[(Photo of Haru unconscious and tied up)]

[Take reservation taxi 3315 in front of Dooruk Street 233-1 convenience store. If you are not alone, this woman will die.]

Hae-soo’s eyes widened, and then he emitted a terrible murderous aura. He slowly closed the phone and looked at the quick service man.

“You see that police station over there?”

“Yes, yes.”

“Go there and shout three times to the chief that I am involved in a kidnapping crime.”

“Yes?”

“Go!”

“Yes, sir!”

The quick service man ran to the police station in a hurry without even taking off his helmet.

Hae-soo ran to his accommodation with a serious expression. The distance between the police station and the accommodation was not far, so he left his car and motorcycle there.

‘If a skilled person like Haru was kidnapped….’

That means they are skilled people. ‘The Company,’ which raised Haru and the chief-level people, is the most likely.

Hae-soo packed a three-section baton, spray, location transmitter, wire, etc. in a small bag from the trunk of his car and got on his motorcycle.

Click, click-

He designated the navigation and hesitated to call the team leader.

If Haru was kidnapped, it is estimated that there are at least three chief-level people. It is a very dangerous case.

But… now Haru is on the same team.

Click-

-Oh, we’re at Sseakssri Grilled Clams. Hurry…

“Haru has been kidnapped.”

-…Huh?

“I have sent you the GPS transmitter number by text message, so please track it and follow me. Please request support from the Special Forces, and if that is not possible, gather as much support as possible.”

-Wh, what?

“Don’t come alone first, be sure to come with support troops. Then.”

-Assault! Shin Hae-soo!

Hae-soo immediately hung up the phone and pulled the accelerator.

Vroom!

Beyond the helmet, Hae-soo’s eyes were filled with murderous intent.

When he arrived at the address, the taxi with the number given in the text message was waiting.

Hae-soo immediately opened the passenger seat door and got in, and the taxi driver said.

“This is a reservation~”

“Yes, three three one five.”

The taxi driver turned his head to check Hae-soo’s face.

“Ah, that’s right. I’ll get going.”

As the taxi moved, Hae-soo leaned his face out and asked.

“Are you aware that you are involved in a crime?”

“Yes??”

“How much did you get from whom to make the reservation?”

“Th, th, 500,000 won….”

“You should have been suspicious from the moment they gave you a lot of money and made a suspicious request. Tell me about their appearance.”

“Th, th, a kid in a school uniform gave me cash and asked me… Ah, the kid was wearing Dooruk Middle School uniform.”

“Hmm… Let’s go to the destination for now.”

Hae-soo asked for the taxi driver’s resident registration number, phone number, and address and saved them.

After changing taxis three times, he finally arrived at his destination.

It is an abandoned factory in a secluded area.

A man in a black suit and sunglasses was guarding the door at the entrance.

When Hae-soo got out, he opened the factory door.

“Go in.”

Hae-soo silently stepped inside, looking around sharply. He must buy as much time as possible until the support troops arrive.

Even if they are chief-level people who can fly, they cannot beat a gun.

Step, step.

When he went inside, there were ten burly men gathered. They are all holding iron pipes. No one is holding a knife.

And decisively, he does not feel the sharp and dangerous energy that is commonly felt from chief-level people.

“Where’s Haru.”

At Hae-soo’s question, a bald man stepped forward, swaggering.

“Where could she be? If our police officer listens well, we’ll tell you~”

Something is wrong. It feels like they gathered local thugs. What the hell are these guys?

“You guys aren’t ‘The Company,’ are you.”

“‘The Company’? What’s that? I don’t work for a company?”

Thud-

Hae-soo raised his head at the small sound. Haru is sticking her face out of the long window on the second floor. She looks fine without any injuries.

He couldn’t make a rational judgment because of the photo of her unconscious and tied up.

In the photo, Haru’s hands were tied in front of her, but now they are untied. There is nothing to worry about. She was deliberately caught for some reason.

Hae-soo put on leather gloves over thin special anti-stab gloves and said.

“Okay, I see, then I’ll have to hit you.”

“What are you talking about, you crazy ba-”

Before he could finish speaking, Hae-soo’s full swing punch landed on his face.

-Thwack!!

The bald man’s body floated up, hit the wall, bounced off, and fell down.

Hae-soo rotated his wrist and looked around at the other men.

“Okay, line up one by one and show me your faces. I’ll hit you gently.”

* * *

A few minutes ago, the control room on the second floor of the abandoned factory.

“Oh, he’s here, he’s here!”

At the sound of the warehouse door opening, Bae In-sung widened his eyes and stuck close to the control room glass.

Then, he rolled his eyes and watched Hae-soo and the menacing men facing each other.

“Wow, he really came alone. Is he stupid or brave?”

“He really came.”

“He really came, then fake… huh?”

Bae In-sung turned his head at the unfamiliar voice. His eyes met Haru’s, who was also sticking to the window looking outside.

“How-”

Thwack!
