The Cop Is Too Strong [EN]: Chapter 132

132. Reverse Kidnapping (3)

Bae In-sung’s lips curved upward as he made eye contact with the beautiful woman beside him, who was cutely peeking out.

However.

Thwack-!

Before he could even admire her sparkling eyes, a sharp elbow struck his nose.

“Ugh!”

As he staggered back in stinging pain, his secretary rushed to his side, shocked.

“Director-”

A slender leg shot out, a small foot planting itself accurately in the approaching secretary’s chin.

Thud-

The secretary’s eyes rolled back as she collapsed.

Haru immediately turned to face the two remaining men. Yong-pal, the leader of the group who had put Haru in the van, and his injured subordinate, stood pressed against the wall with their hands raised.

They had anticipated the situation and were surrendering preemptively.

Haru shifted her gaze from them and approached Bae In-sung again, firmly grabbing his hair and yanking his head back.

“Aagh!”

Bae In-sung could only let out a pathetic groan, the pain of his scalp overwhelming him, unable to resist. He was used to inflicting violence, not receiving it, and he was too disoriented to react.

“Ah-”

Bae In-sung felt an irresistible force, like a dental hygienist about to inflict pain.

“Ah… Ack!”

As soon as he opened his mouth, Haru forced the knife between his teeth and bit down. Then, she immediately kneed him in the jaw.

Crack!

“Kkeuaaaack!!”

The way he bit down hard on the blade, his teeth couldn’t withstand the pressure. As he tried to turn his head to avoid it, he was hit at an angle, tearing his lip about two centimeters and knocking out more than six teeth, blood dripping from his mouth.

He dropped to the floor, pressing his face against it and covering his mouth with both hands, blood seeping through his fingers.

But Haru had no intention of stopping there.

She kicked him over, picked up the knife that had fallen to the floor, and plunged it into his groin without hesitation.

Thunk!

“Keueok!! Heok, kkeueooo….”

Haru turned away from Bae In-sung, who was making strange groans of indescribable pain, and stood up.

Her gaze turned to Yong-pal and his subordinate, who still had their hands raised.

“Put your hands down.”

At Haru’s words, Yong-pal and his subordinate immediately lowered their hands. As soon as they did, Haru grabbed Yong-pal’s hand, pinned it to the wall, and stabbed the back of his hand with the knife.

“Kkeueuk!”

“Grateful?”

“Yes! Yes….”

Even while groaning in pain, sincerity was evident in his voice and face. The other two were out cold. It was fortunate that it ended with a pierced hand instead of something worse.

Haru glanced at the subordinate next to him, quickly opened the door, and dashed out.

Bang! Bang! Crash!!

Outside, it was already a scene of chaos. Shin Hae-soo was fighting more than ten men with his bare hands.

Hae-soo was overwhelming them alone, but because it was a wide open space like a vacant lot and the opponents all had long steel pipes, he was taking some hits. He was only reducing the damage by blocking with his thighs or forearms.

One man with bare hands against a group with weapons.

Putting aside the strength, Haru’s eyes widened as she saw Hae-soo being beaten with steel pipes for the first time.

“Eee…! You bad guys!!”

Haru used the most violent expression she knew from language school and jumped straight down from the second-floor stairs. Her movements were light and agile like a cat.

Swoosh-

As soon as she landed on the floor, she rolled twice and entered the middle of the chaotic scene without hesitation.

“What, what is this?! Keuek!”

Haru kept her body very low, barely visible in the men’s field of vision, and began to slash at their ankles as she rolled around.

“Aagh!”

“Keuk!”

At the same time as Haru severed the last man’s Achilles tendon, Hae-soo’s fist slammed into that man’s face.

Bang!

The man lost his balance, spun around, and fell to the floor.

“Hoo….”

Only then did Haru let out a small sigh and stand up. Because she was keeping her posture low, a lot of blood had splattered on her face.

Hae-soo quickly scanned her entire body to check for injuries, then narrowed his brow and asked.

“You, why deliberately…”

At that moment.

Wham!!

The front gate of the abandoned factory was violently kicked open.

“Assault team! Charge!!!”

“Waaaaaaa!!”

“For the brotherhood!!”

Three dark figures rushed in, shouting loudly.

It was the Violent Crimes Unit. For some reason, Team Leader Kwak was at the front.

Team Leader Kwak had a pair of triple batons [expandable batons] in both hands, and Oh Geng and the youngest member were panting as they entered, holding riot shields they had somehow obtained.

“Huh?”

“Huh?!”

They, who were rushing in fiercely, discovered Hae-soo and Haru standing tall among the men who had fallen and were bleeding.

“Hmm? It’s all over?”

No sooner had the team leader finished speaking than Oh Geng ran to Hae-soo.

“Hae-soo! Hae-soo, are you okay?!!”

The youngest member, not wanting to be outdone, threw down his shield and approached Haru.

“Junior Officer Ha! Are you hurt anywhere? What is this, blood, blood!!”

Haru pointed to the men lying on the floor with a blank expression.

“It’s their blood.”

“Huh?! Oh, is that so?!!”

While the youngest member was rambling without properly understanding the situation, Hae-soo approached Team Leader Kwak and scolded him.

“Team Leader, didn’t I tell you to come in with the Special Forces no matter what….”

The team leader scratched the back of his head and looked embarrassed.

“Ah, well, those Special Forces guys were too slow. They said they were coming from Jeju Island because of the deployment, what could I do? My guys were in danger, I couldn’t just stand by. But you’re okay?”

Hae-soo brushed the blood off his body with his hands and replied.

“Yes, they weren’t who I thought they were.”

“I see. That’s a relief, a real relief.”

The team leader carefully examined Hae-soo’s body, frowning as he saw the bruises and torn flesh from being hit by the steel pipes.

Then, he looked around at the lying men and quickly picked up the radio as if he had remembered something.

“This is Violent Crimes One, situation complete, situation complete, fourteen suspects to be arrested, so send three patrol cars.”

-Patrol Three Roger.

-Patrol Five Roger.

-…Special One is returning.

“Okay, good work. Special One, come a little faster next time.”

-…Roger.

As the team leader was on the radio, the youngest member who had gone up to the second floor shouted.

“Ugh! Team Leader! You need to come up here!”

“Why? What is it again? Is there something more surprising?”

“Yes, that, this person seems like that person. That…”

The team leader narrowed his brow and asked as he climbed the stairs.

“That what?”

“That stuck-up *chaebol* [conglomerate owner] we saw at the police station last time… I think.”

“…What??!”

At those words, the team leader ran up the stairs at full speed, and Oh Geng also stopped arresting people and followed him.

Hae-soo looked at Haru with wide eyes, and Haru twisted her body as if she was embarrassed.

The team leader was horrified to see Bae In-sung, covered in blood and crawling on the floor, in the second-floor control room.

“Oh, oh, oh, what on earth is going on here.”

Even though he expected that they had done something wrong and were plotting something bad, the team leader was worried about what would happen next.

* * *

Everyone except those who needed urgent treatment was transferred to the Gangjin Police Station, and Hae-soo and Haru were also on their way back to the Gangjin Police Station in the Violent Crimes Unit van.

As soon as Hae-soo got in the car, he sat next to Haru and asked.

“I understand that Bae In-sung, that trash, kidnapped you to lure me out, and the woman wearing torn clothes at that place was trying to frame me as a rapist. Tell me anything else you need to tell me.”

Hae-soo’s voice was lower and scarier than ever.

Haru felt unfairly scolded. She pouted her lips and replied softly.

“I didn’t know. I didn’t know they would use me as bait to call Hae-soo. If I had known, I would have finished it before that.”

“Finished… Ha, then why didn’t you tell me while deliberately getting caught.”

Haru replied with a small but firm look in her eyes.

“Because it’s dangerous.”

“…What?”

Hae-soo was slightly taken aback because he didn’t know she had these thoughts. When Hae-soo asked again, Haru replied again in a barely audible voice.

“…I can’t put Hae-soo in danger. The kidnappers were clumsy, but they might be from the company. I could handle it alone.”

Hae-soo sighed softly and grabbed Haru’s shoulders.

“Haru, am I someone you have to protect?”

“…….”

“This won’t do, let’s go to the gym tomorrow, I’ll show you properly.”

Hae-soo thought the problem was that Haru didn’t know his skills one hundred percent.

So he was going to take her to the gym and show her his maximum skills.

At that time, Haru spoke even more quietly so that the officers in front wouldn’t hear.

“…Hae-soo is strong too, but Instructor Ma is really strong.”

Instructor Ma, that person is the problem. Haru has been seriously concerned about the person called Instructor Ma, even though it has been more than ten years since she saw him.

Hae-soo nodded silently and pondered how to proceed with sparring at the gym tomorrow.

* * *

A glass window overlooking a forest of buildings, a middle-aged man with white hair stood there, looking down for a long time.

Knock knock- Swoosh

The door opened and a man with steel-like muscles entered. As he entered, the white-haired middle-aged man opened his mouth, keeping his eyes fixed outside.

“Doesn’t Il-sung know that Detective Shin Hae-soo is a person of interest?”

“He knows.”

“Oh really? I see, he knew but still touched him.”

“I will warn him.”

“Il-sung… Il-sung, still a pillar of the Seven Stars Society. Let it go.”

“I will only give him light advice.”

At the words of Chief Ma, a man with steel-like muscles, the white-haired middle-aged man finally turned his body and made eye contact.

As their eyes met, Chief Ma bowed slightly.

The white-haired middle-aged man stared intently at Chief Ma’s face, then averted his gaze and said.

“…Okay. Chief Ma has dignity too.”

“Thank you.”

* * *

Bae Shin-joo, the president of Il-sung Group and a leading candidate to be Bae In-sung’s father.

He was restless, like a puppy about to poop, because Yang, who neatly handled all his small and big, all kinds of troublesome or dirty work, was not visible.

He scolded the secretary, who was standing like a stone.

“Where the hell did Mr. Yang go? This is something that can be easily solved if only Mr. Yang comes forward! Where did he disappear to in this situation??!! This is dereliction of duty, dereliction!”

“I’m sorry. I can’t reach him, not only Mr. Yang but also the security team led by Mr. Yang. It seems to be related to young master’s work….”

Bang!

“I don’t need speculation!”

-Knock knock

“Come in!”

At that time, the housekeeper came in.

“President, this.”

She was holding a square box.

“What is this?”

“A person named Chief Ma sent it.”

Bae Shin-joo hurriedly opened it. The stench of blood wafted out. It was someone’s wrist.

“Heuep!”

Looking again, it was the watch on the wrist, the watch he had given to Mr. Yang as a gift.

A note was held in that hand.

[Mr. Yang has been dismissed due to personal reasons. -Chief Ma]
