The Cop Is Too Strong [EN]: Chapter 133

133. Rafting

[Ilseong Group’s Likely Successor, President Bae’s Child, Director Bae, Kidnaps Current Police Officer and Attempted Murder]

┗What is this? I can read it all, is this right?

┗Looks like a magic eye/ Is the reporter still okay?

┗All the articles except this one have been deleted, and my comments too. Ilseong must be scary.

┗Damn, reality is more like a movie. Isn’t it too much for a *chaebol* [a wealthy family-controlled conglomerate] to kidnap a police officer and attempt murder?

┗Our *chaebols* don’t have such things as lines.

┗Is it okay for the police to kill? I heard they killed two people?

┗Are you illiterate? It wasn’t people, but two kidnappers. Would you rather be gently beaten while being kidnapped until your neck is snapped?

┗Seriously, what’s wrong with those idiots who are shielding the kidnappers?

┗Even in the internet world, let’s use kind words. Everyone is full of anger these days. Control yourselves. Your fingers too, and your dicks.

┗It was going well, but suddenly the ending is about dicks.

┗Let’s get rid of all the *chaebol* heads this time.

┗It was good at first, but it seems to be turning into a romance. Tsk.

┗Tried to kidnap but got reverse-raped, serves them right.

This is a shocking case of a third-generation *chaebol* kidnapping a current police officer and ordering special assault.

No matter how much Ilseong Group tried to stop it, it was impossible to stop the flood of articles.

Moreover, with Daesung actively pushing, Ilseong soon gave up and issued an explanation.

[Ilseong Actively Denies, Claiming No Knowledge. Director Bae Acted Alone]

Excerpt from an interview with Bae Shin-ju, President of Ilseong Electronics-

I was so focused on work and the company that I couldn’t prevent my child from going down the wrong path. I will accept the punishment for raising my child poorly. And I will discipline him strictly. I apologize to the public once again.

┗Oh, seeing the name, it’s Ilseong.

┗I’m unsubscribing from Success Daily from today.

┗Ilseong is highly recommended for abandoning their child.

┗Why are you apologizing to the public? You should apologize to the police officer.

┗That’s right, they must be worried about their stock price falling, so they misspoke.

Since both the victim and the perpetrator are not ordinary people, the shocking incident spread like wildfire within two days of its occurrence, dominating news articles, YouTube, and community sites, drawing the attention of the entire nation.

Ilseong Hospital’s VVIP room where Bae In-sung is hospitalized.

Bang!!

The sliding door burst open, and Bae In-sung’s father, President Bae Shin-ju, stormed in with his secretary.

In-sung frowned and quickly hid his phone, startled while leaving malicious comments on the article.

Bae Shin-ju sighed at his actions and said in a low, growling voice.

“Get that policewoman to drop the charges.”

In-sung, who had been cowering at the mention of the policewoman, opened his eyes wide.

“Father!! She’s the *bitch* who cut off my thing! Can’t you see my broken teeth here?”

In-sung jumped up and pointed between his legs, then leaned forward to show his broken teeth.

However, Bae Shin-ju stared at his actions, strode over, and slapped him across the face.

Slap!!

“Do you still not realize how big of a mess you’ve made?! If you’re going to do something, don’t get caught! Drop the charges immediately, and don’t cause any more damage to the group!”

In-sung was stunned, holding his cheek, and looked around.

“Ah… damn, Mr. Yang, where is Mr. Yang?”

Mr. Yang, who followed his father Bae Shin-ju like a shadow, was the strongest and most ruthless person In-sung knew.

Now that everything was out in the open, In-sung thought that if Bae Shin-ju allowed it, it would be easy to silence those bastards using Mr. Yang.

At that moment, Bae Shin-ju flinched at the mention of Mr. Yang. The memory of opening that box flashed through his mind, sending shivers down his spine and causing him to sweat.

“Why, why are you looking for Mr. Yang! Shut up and drop the charges yourself, and apologize! Clean up the mess you made! Got it?!”

“F, Father….”

Bae Shin-ju turned around and started to walk away, then stopped and turned halfway back, leaving a final threat.

“If this incident causes any changes to my position… you’ll have to be prepared for the consequences.”

Bang!

Bae Shin-ju left, slamming the hospital room door shut.

In-sung stared in the direction his father had left, then kicked the trash can that came into view.

Crash!

“Ah, damn it!! Seriously, my son is getting beaten and humiliated like this, but all my dad cares about is his own situation. Is that a dad? Isn’t it?”

The secretary, who was standing next to him like a statue, flinched at In-sung’s words. The secretary had bandages wrapped around his face vertically.

“W, Well, we need to follow President’s orders.”

The secretary had bitten off about half of his tongue when Haru’s foot hit his chin, so his pronunciation was severely impaired.

“Damn it… that *bitch*… find Mr. Yang!”

“I will check.”

* * *

At the same time, at the Chungnam Provincial Police Agency Commissioner’s office.

The Commissioner frowned deeply while reading the article and turned his head.

“…Excessive force? Who? The station chief there?”

“No, other stations and the Agency have expressed that opinion. It seems Ilseong is pressuring them.”

Putting aside the fact that a current police officer killed the kidnappers, there were quite a few people who took issue with Bae In-sung, the head of Ilseong Electronics, having his genitals cut off and his teeth knocked out.

However, there were far more comments supporting the police that it could be ignored, but the Commissioner was furious that the police themselves were making such ridiculous claims.

“These bastards! They’re trying to take advantage of me because I don’t have much time left in my term. Make a list and hand it over to the Police Intelligence Department to dig up every speck of dust on them. How dare they try to mess with our pretty Gangsu Unit [Violent Crimes Unit]?”

“Yes, I understand.”

* * *

Bae In-sung eventually dropped the charges against Haru.

Thanks to the efforts from both inside and outside, Bae In-sung’s kidnapping of a current police officer was proceeding at a record pace for a *chaebol* case.

“I deliver the verdict. Defendant Bae In-sung is sentenced to 10 years in prison for his heinous crime and lack of remorse.”

At the judge’s verdict, Bae In-sung jumped up and shouted.

“What? You son of a *bitch*! Do you know who I am? 10 years?!! Are you kidding me, you bastard!”

“Defendant, sit down. What are you doing in court right now?”

“Shut up! You son of a *bitch*!!”

In-sung, who had never bowed his head to anyone other than his father and grandfather, regardless of gender or age, was simply resentful of the judge at this moment.

He suddenly jumped out, lost his reason, and rushed at the judge.

Swish

At that moment, a huge shadow blocked his path. Haesu, who had anticipated his actions, grabbed his arm, turned him around, and slammed him to the ground.

Thud!!

“Cough, cough…!”

In-sung couldn’t breathe from the impact and coughed. Haesu turned him over, pressed his back with his knee, and whispered close to his ear.

“There are many pieces of trash I can introduce you to in prison. You’ll regret being alive.”

With Haesu’s threat, the police rushed over and took him away.

On the way back to Gangjin Station from the courthouse.

The Gangsu Unit members had proud faces.

“What’s with the judge actually doing his job against a *chaebol* for once?”

Haesu, who was looking out the window, replied to Oh Gyeong’s words.

“It’s just for show. Ilseong is actually trying to punish him more severely. It seems to be a strategy to abandon their son and save the company.”

The team leader took Haesu’s words.

“Ah… that’s typical of corporate people. They’ll do that and then reduce the sentence and get him paroled later when the public’s attention dies down, right?”

“Still, it’s a good thing that the verdict came out like this.”

Oh Gyeong is right. Whatever the process and hidden intentions, the precedent of a third-generation *chaebol* getting a 10-year sentence will have a positive impact in the future.

In front of Boseong Plaza Police Station.

The Gangsu Unit members are standing in front of the police station in plain clothes, facing the police officers.

It’s the last day of summer police station support duty.

Female Officer Yeo Young handed Haesu a can of cocoa and wiped away tears.

“I’m going to miss you, Sergeant Shin Haesu. Sniff.”

“Why are you crying? Are you crazy? Oh, I’m embarrassed.”

Her colleague covered her face, feeling embarrassed instead.

“Officer Haru, thank you for your hard work, even though it was short.”

Sergeant Sunding, Haru’s first partner, reached out his hand to shake hers.

Haru was flustered, but at Haesu’s gesture, she carefully reached out her small hand and shook his.

Chief Ahn Ji-sung, with his graying hair, approached Haru and Haesu.

“I’m sorry for making you go through such a dangerous thing because of me.”

Haesu unusually waved his hands in denial.

“No, not at all. He was going to cause trouble like this anywhere. It’s fortunate he was caught this time. It’s all thanks to Chief Ahn.”

“It makes me feel a little lighter to hear you say that. Anyway, thank you both, or rather, everyone in the Gangsu Unit.”

The Gangsu Unit members proudly accepted his words of gratitude.

Next, the police station chief and Team Leader Kwak exchanged regretful greetings.

“It’s already like this, it feels like just yesterday you came here.”

“That’s not true, how many cases were there, what do you mean yesterday.”

“Anyway, I’m jealous. You’ve met good team members. Is it because the team leader is good that good team members came?”

“You still have an eye for talent. I wondered why Boseong is the largest tourist destination in Chungnam and has a low rate of violent crime, it’s all thanks to the Boseong Police Station.”

“You….”

The chief and Team Leader Kwak exchanged meaningful glances, then pulled one leg back and powerfully high-fived each other as if slapping each other’s cheeks.

Slap-!!

With a warm farewell, the Gangsu Unit left the Boseong Plaza Police Station.

* * *

On the way to the accommodation, Team Leader Kwak walked ahead, then turned around with a somewhat regretful expression.

“Guys, we have vacation until the day after tomorrow, shouldn’t we enjoy the summer at least once before we go?”

“I’m in favor!!”

“I agree too.”

“Let’s go.”

The three answered quickly as if they were of one mind, and the team members’ eyes turned to Haru last.

Haru nodded with a very languid expression.

“Yes.”

Without going into the accommodation, they got into the van in the parking lot and looked for something that the five of them could do together, and there was a valley boat rafting nearby.

The team leader drove directly to the valley.

“Wow, it’s popular, why are there so many people?”

There were many people at the beach, but there were also more than ten teams lined up at the valley boat rafting site.

“We need to get down and line up quickly?”

“I’ll go first!!”

“Okay! Go! Push through with your muscles, Muscle Monster!”

With Muscle Monster at the forefront, five people, including a dark group and a fresh rookie, were waiting in line, and the front was particularly noisy.

“…No, I’m saying the team leader should be the tail! Why don’t you want to be the tail?”

“Why am I the tail! I’m the team leader! I’ll be the head!”

“Oh really…!”

It’s a familiar voice in a familiar situation. When I turned my head, I met a familiar face.

“Oh.”

“Oh?”

It was Team Leader Jo Ara and her team members. Judging by their attire, it seemed like they were on vacation as a group.

“Oh! Violent Crimes Team!”

“Woo-oh!! Gangsu Unit!!!”

Oh Gyeong and the senior team member greeted each other noisily as if they had met brothers, and Team Leader Jo Ara also approached Haesu and Team Leader Kwak to greet them.

After a light greeting, everyone’s eyes naturally turned to Haru, who was gracing the occasion.

“There’s someone I haven’t seen before?”

As Haesu was about to introduce her, Haru suddenly took a step forward and said.

“I’m Haru, the rookie of the Violent Crimes Investigation Unit.”

“Wow!”

“The Gangsu Unit is the best, it was already the best, but it’s even more perfect….”

“I’ve achieved everything….”

“Nice to meet you, I’m the cute *maknae* [youngest member] of Violent Crimes Team 1 in northern Gyeonggi… Ah, Team Leader, Team Leader! My ear is torn!”

After the greetings, it was time for rafting. There was a subtle war of nerves because it was a sport.

“Please get on quickly.”

“Oh my, the Gangsu Unit goes first.”

“Hey, you came first, so of course the Violent Crimes Team goes first, we’ll catch up quickly after you leave.”

“…Quickly?”

At the word quickly, a strange sense of competition appeared on Jo Team Leader’s face.

At that time, people were whispering from behind.

“I think they’re police officers.”

“Why are they doing that, should we just go first?”

“Hurry up.”

“If you cut in line in front of the police, you’ll get caught.”

Hearing that, Jo Team Leader managed her expression and took the lead.

“Ahem, then we’ll go first. Have fun.”

“Yes, fighting!”

After sending Jo Team Leader off, it was the Gangsu Unit’s turn. As soon as the team members put on their life jackets and got on the 5-person boat, Team Leader Kwak’s eyes sparkled and pointed to the Violent Crimes Team going far away with his index finger.

“We can’t lose to the Violent Crimes Team when we’re the Gangsu Unit, are you ready? Warriors.”

“Yes!!”

“But, why is the team leader the tail?”

Team Leader Kwak was naturally holding the tail that was changing direction, and Haru was in charge of one side.

“Start!!”
