The Cop Is Too Strong [EN]: Chapter 21

In front of the ambulance.

Shin Hae-soo felt his heart sink at the female student’s words that she had no sensation in her legs.

‘Reset, reset, reset!’

He kept shouting ‘reset’ in his mind, but it wouldn’t go back. He had already used a reset today, so there was no way it would work.

Hae-soo followed the ambulance to the hospital as a temporary guardian. The female student went into emergency surgery before her guardian arrived.

In front of the operating room.

“My baby, my baby, oh my baby!”

A grandmother rushes in, gasping for breath. She was wearing a red apron, so it was clear that she had been working when she received the call and rushed over.

The grandmother received a rough explanation from the nurse and collapsed on the spot, unable to even sit down. Hae-soo hurriedly supported her and sat her on a chair.

Only then did the grandmother notice Hae-soo and ask.

“Wh-who are you here…”

Then the nurse answered for her.

“He’s the police officer who was at the scene. She said that if it weren’t for him, your granddaughter could have gotten worse.”

“Oh, thank you. Thank you…”

“It’s nothing. I just did what I had to do.”

The grandmother grabbed Hae-soo’s clothes tightly with both hands and burst into tears.

She kept thanking him, but her trembling hands and tears were only filled with deep concern for her granddaughter.

After a while, a middle-aged man and woman who were neighbors came to take care of the grandmother, and Hae-soo left the hospital. The perpetrator was nowhere to be seen until then.

And the next day.

Hae-soo stayed up all night and visited the hospital again early in the morning before going to work.

The grandmother was still in front of the operating room bench. The surgery in the operating room had been going on for over 11 hours.

“Grandmother, are you okay?”

“Officer… what about our Hyun-ah, our Hyun-ah won’t come out…”

“The surgery will be fine. Don’t worry too much. Has anyone else come?”

At Hae-soo’s question, the grandmother’s listless eyes flashed with venom.

“That, that *bitch* who should be torn to pieces came and went for a while. With men in black clothes, do you know what she said? Is she alive? She just said one word and left!”

Hae-soo’s brow furrowed. It wasn’t required by law, but it was morally reprehensible.

At that time, the operating room doors opened and a hospital bed carrying the female student came out.

“Hyun-ah, our Hyun-ah, Hyun-ah!!”

The female student on the bed was lying as if dead with a paler face.

The nurses hurriedly pulled the grandmother away, and the tired-looking doctor wiped away sweat and explained.

“There was intestinal rupture, pelvic fracture, and spinal fracture. Fortunately, the intestinal rupture was not severe, so there is no danger to life.”

“Thank you! Oh, thank you, doctor!”

“But… there is no response in the lower body nerves.”

“…Yes? What does that mean?”

The doctor paused for a moment before opening his mouth.

“It seems that the broken vertebra tore the nerves, causing paralysis of the lower body. The exact extent will be known after some time passes.”

At the doctor’s words, the grandmother collapsed on the spot with her mouth half open. Hae-soo quickly supported her.

“That’s, that’s… she’s only seventeen, seventeen and paralyzed in her lower body… Heaven is so heartless, just take me instead, this old body…”

The grandmother was beside herself for a long time, but when she heard that the female student had woken up, she rushed to the hospital room where she was hospitalized.

Hae-soo watched the female student and grandmother hugging and crying endlessly, and left the hospital room with a heavy heart.

On the way to work, he suddenly remembered someone and picked up his cell phone.

-This is Ahn Seo-eun. I didn’t expect you to call me so soon. What’s going on?

“Can you get a patient diagnosed with lower body paralysis better treatment than Shinjeong Hospital? The hospital bill will be paid by the perpetrator.”

-Yes, if the person wants, I’ll send someone right away to transfer them. I’ll send someone right away to transfer them.

She didn’t ask what was going on or what the relationship was with the patient. It was the treatment that gave me a rough idea of how to use their power in the future.

“Okay. I’ll call you again during lunch break.”

-Yes, I’ll be waiting.

Gangjin City Dongbu Police Station.

Hae-soo was waiting with a serious expression, thinking about the female student.

At that time, a middle-aged woman came in, roughly opening the police box door. Next to her was a man in a black suit who appeared to be her escort.

Hae-soo’s eyes turned scary when he saw the middle-aged woman. It was the woman who had run over the female student.

As Hae-soo jumped up, she also found him, pointed her index finger at him, and shouted.

“You were a real police officer; the country is going to be ruined by this kind of guy… Hey, I came here to report this person. This person broke my car and forcibly dragged me out of the car and knocked me down. My knees are scraped here, and I have a medical certificate!”

The police station team leader and team members looked back and forth between Hae-soo and the woman, not knowing what was going on, and couldn’t say anything.

Hae-soo looked down at the woman with cold eyes and asked.

“Did you apologize to that female student?”

“What? Apologize? I just need to compensate her! She didn’t die, did she? I didn’t do it on purpose, so why should I apologize to that *bitch*? How much damage did I suffer because of this? You apologize! Can’t you see it scratched here? What are you going to do about my car? Your salary isn’t enough!”

“Car?”

“Yes! My car!”

Hae-soo found the white car parked outside the glass door. The driver’s side window was broken as it was, probably because it hadn’t been fixed on purpose.

He opened the door and went out, unfolding his three-section baton [an expandable metal stick] from his waist.

Chrararak-

“This car? This car.”

Then, without hesitation, he struck the passenger seat window with the baton.

Kwajik!

“How much do I have to pay for this?”

“Kyaak! What are you doing!”

The woman, as well as the escort next to her and the police station officers, were horrified. However, Hae-soo’s bizarre behavior did not stop.

This time it’s the front windshield.

Kwajangchang!

“This is…”

Next, he hit the hood hard with the baton.

Knock knock!

“This is!!”

He hit it so hard that the baton broke, so he threw it away and slammed the hood hard with his fist.

Knock!!

Hae-soo’s fist marks were clearly imprinted on the hood.

Hae-soo raised his hand, which was torn and bleeding, and pointed at the woman with his index finger.

“Don’t drive a car. Is this kind of car important now? Because of you, that student will never be able to walk again!”

“Y-you crazy bastard, really!! Call the police, call the police!”

“Madam, this *is* the police station.”

The escort couldn’t dare to step forward because of Hae-soo’s ferocious momentum and stopped the woman.

The woman was also frightened and shouted at Hae-soo, stepping back.

“You, you just wait and see, do you know who my husband is? Some police officer! Get ready to be fired and go to jail!!”

She ran out of the police station as if fleeing.

Only then did the police station team leader and Officer Lim come over and ask.

“What happened…”

“Officer Shin… are you okay?”

Hae-soo nodded, biting his lower lip.

“I’m fine. I’m sorry, Team Leader. I’ll go in and explain.”

When Hae-soo went in and explained the situation, people were even more angry and cursed the woman as if it were their own business.

However, destroying someone else’s car in front of the police station, no matter the reason, damages the dignity of the police, so he wrote a report first.

During lunch break, Hae-soo went straight to the female student who was hospitalized in Shinjeong Hospital.

The female student’s name was Kang Hyun-ah, a budding first-year high school student.

She was lying down, staring blankly out the window.

“Student Kang Hyun-ah.”

Hyun-ah slowly raised her head to face Hae-soo. Her eyes were moist as if she had been crying until just before.

“Who…”

“I’m a police officer, where did your grandmother go?”

“Grandmother went to work… Ah, you helped me…”

As Hae-soo just stared silently, she lowered her head and shed tears again.

“Thank you…”

Hae-soo knelt on one knee, lowered his eye level a little more, and said to Hyun-ah as kindly as possible.

“I have someone I know at Daesung Hospital, and when I told them about Hyun-ah’s situation and asked for help, they said they would do their best… How about moving to another hospital if that’s okay with you?”

“Okay. Thank you… Heueuk.”

Hyun-ah shed tears like a broken dam.

At the budding age of playing around, she was diagnosed with lower body paralysis due to someone else’s fault, not her own, so it would be like the sky was falling.

Hae-soo also got permission from her grandmother and immediately conveyed it to Ahn Seo-eun.

Then, in less than an hour, Seo-eun sent Daesung Hospital medical staff to carefully move Hyun-ah.

Since the surgery was performed at Shinjeong Hospital, they took all the detailed surgical records and patient condition data.

Hae-soo checked that Hyun-ah was being loaded into the Daesung Hospital ambulance and called Ahn Seo-eun again.

“Hyun-ah just left for Daesung Hospital. Thank you. Please take good care of her.”

-You don’t even have a drop of blood mixed in, but you’re helping as if it’s your own business. Are all police officers like that? No. No, it’s not.

With a confident tone, Hae-soo shook his head.

“Most will be.”

-I hope so. Anyway, I’ll pay special attention to it.

Hae-soo hung up the phone and returned to the police station.

But the expressions of the police station officers looking at Hae-soo were strange.

Then the team leader came and said.

“I got a call from the police station; that woman earlier, she sued you, for creating anxiety, damaging vehicles, assault? Ha, I’m so dumbfounded.”

Since it was expected, Hae-soo was not very surprised. Then Officer Lim came over and held out her cell phone.

“Officer Shin, please take a look at this.”

What she showed was a video uploaded to YouTube. The title is…

“K-Police [Korean Police], Assaulting an Ordinary Woman?”

The video contained Hae-soo running to the car, breaking the window, and dragging the woman out. And the subtitle ‘Police Officer Shin xx’ was following Hae-soo’s head.

It was uploaded by a popular YouTuber with many subscribers and an aggressive style, and the number of views was increasing exponentially with a very provocative title.

Hae-soo smiled absurdly.

“Ha, haha… Is this woman… stupid?”

* * *

At the same time, Daesung E&M CEO’s office.

Ahn Seo-eun was looking at the same article as Hae-soo.

“Haha.”

She, who had already grasped all the circumstances, smiled absurdly like Hae-soo, then suddenly changed to a cold look.

“Chief Kang.”

“Yes, Director.”

“Is the collection of videos at the time of the accident finished?”

“Yes, we are working on mosaicing Hyun-ah’s face [blurring her face to protect her identity].”

“Upload that and activate the Ditukdae [a specialized online comment manipulation team].”

“Ditukdae for this case… are you sure?”

Ahn Seo-eun is the CEO of an entertainment company that manages celebrities, so she has her own special unit.

Ditukdae, is a comment unit.

It does not spread false information or fabricate facts, but it is a unit that effectively diverts attention from fact-based events or rapidly spreads rumors.

“Yes, crush that YouTuber and that woman for sure.”
