The Cop Is Too Strong [EN]: Chapter 85

Lead Building, Room 613.

*Tring Tring*

[John) CEO Ahn Seo-eun(Yes]

Chief Manager Gu Se-ju was startled to see the saved number on his phone.

He had received her business card and saved her number when he was with Hae-su, but he never thought she would call him directly.

Clutching his surprised heart, he quickly pressed the call button.

“Hello! This is Chief Manager Gu Se-ju!”

– Yes, hello. This is Ahn Seo-eun.

“For CEO Ahn Seo-eun to call me directly, this is an honor to my family!”

– It is an honor for me that Chief Manager Gu Se-ju welcomes me so warmly. Actually…

Ahn Seo-eun, with Gu’s help, managed to schedule a meeting with the producer.

Manufacturing equipment for national security with the nation’s money, due to the specialty and rarity of the materials, it costs a lot of money, and the manufacturing method must be newly created, so it was not a popular case.

However, national funds are a good condition to collude with lawmakers and suck it dry. She needs to express her opinion to the commissioner and Assemblyman Oh Seong-ju, who promoted the production plan to prevent flies from interfering, and win the production rights exclusively.

Considering their social positions, Seo-eun contacted them directly.

– …It’s good news that you’re interested, but I’m the type of person who doesn’t want to brush even the hem of my clothes with businessmen. Businessmen are all about money, and it’s not good for the police to be close to money. I hope you understand.

– …In these sensitive times, you’re meeting with the CEO of a company trying to produce stab-proof vests? It will be 100% said that the commissioner, the assemblyman, and the businessman are plotting to embezzle national funds. I’m suspicious of why Daesung is suddenly interested in this case. Goodbye.

*Click*

The call ended. Seo-eun lowered her head powerlessly.

‘As expected… this will attract flies.’

The two are so famous for being clean that they have almost no acquaintances in the business world. They can be seen as the ‘outsider’ representatives of high-ranking officials and National Assembly members.

Understanding their reactions, she tried to explain via email, but they didn’t even read it.

Seo-eun grabbed her throbbing head and left the office for her next schedule.

She took the elevator down to the first floor and found a large person stuck in the security gate.

“Hae-su?”

He was trying to sneak past without a pass and got stuck. Hae-su pulled his body back with an awkward expression. The security gate shook as if it would break.

“Hello.”

“Yes, yes, hello? What brings you here?”

An unexpected meeting in an unexpected place doubles the joy. Seo-eun’s voice was higher and louder than usual.

“Ah, I was passing by and it was almost the end of the day, so I came to go together.”

“Ah… I wish I could live there with you.”

“Pardon?”

“Just saying. Oh, but the work isn’t easy. That simple stab-proof vest.”

“What part is blocked?”

“Well, the commissioner and Assemblyman Oh Seong-ju’s intentions are the most important, but they are completely blocking communication for transparency and fairness.”

Hae-su nodded with a serious expression.

“I see. Since you are a businesswoman, I think I can solve that part.”

“Yes? Ah, since you are a police officer, they will listen to you, right? But actually, Assemblyman Oh Seong-ju’s intentions are more…”

“I have met him before as a special instructor at the police academy. I will meet him once.”

“Oh, really? Wow… Hae-su is such a mysterious person.”

“Is that a compliment?”

“I don’t know.”

Hae-su decided to think positively about Seo-eun’s strange answer.

After sending Seo-eun off, not long after, Haru came out surrounded by men.

Haru’s gaze was fixed forward, but the men around her were staring at Haru.

Hae-su frowned without realizing it and approached Haru.

“Wh-what is it?”

“Why are you blocking the way?”

The bodyguards were very wary of Hae-su’s unusual physique and tried to protect their pride.

Then Haru hurried to Hae-su and said.

“Landlord! What brings you here?”

“La, landlord?”

“Landlord…”

“Not a boyfriend, not a friend, not an older brother…”

‘Landlord’ was a title that felt like an insurmountable wall in many ways.

“I had a place to stop by after work, so I came to pick you up.”

The words ‘pick you up’ were interpreted by the men as meaning that he was not a landlord who gave the house on a monthly or yearly basis, but a landlord who actually lived together.

At those words, the hangers-on naturally stepped aside, and Hae-su left work with Haru.

*

That night, Ahn Seo-eun was lost in thought, looking out at the garden from the darkened room.

‘Even if he has a connection, he’s just a detective with good performance. It will be difficult to move the commissioner and the assemblyman… I should prepare another plan.’

Then, Seo-eun’s phone rang. It was Assemblyman Oh Seong-ju. Seo-eun quickly answered his call.

“Yes, this is Ahn Seo-eun.”

– I received a call from Detective Shin. I didn’t know CEO Ahn Seo-eun could move Detective Shin. What is your relationship with Detective Shin? Is she your fiancée?

“No. Shin Hae-su and I are…”

Seo-eun told him most of the truth. It’s not a backroom deal, and if they are not enemies, the more people she knows, the thicker the defense becomes later.

Seo-eun explained with all her heart that she was not looking at the company’s profits, but a partner who wanted to help Detective Shin on his way to purify Korea.

– …I didn’t know there would be someone with such a great idea among businessmen. Anyway, the answer was already decided from the moment Detective Shin asked me to entrust it to you, but I’m glad to know a businessman I can trust.

“Thank you. We are not trying to make money, but if this is made for the purpose of making money, the most important safety may be lacking, so I am desperately trying to take on this project myself even though the profits are small.”

– That’s right. That was the part I was most worried about, but I’m grateful that it’s been resolved.

“I am also honored to know an assemblyman who shares the same intentions.”

As soon as she hung up with the assemblyman, she received a call from the commissioner, and it was decided in advance that Seo-eun would take charge as soon as the production plan was approved.

Unlike the full-body stab-proof vests worn by Hae-su and Detective Kang Jin-seo, the stab-proof vests will be produced in vest form as a mass-produced simple stab-proof vest.

***

Shin Hae-su’s house, Haru is lying diagonally on the living room sofa, holding her cell phone. It was late summer, so she was wearing dolphin pants [short, tight-fitting athletic shorts], revealing her long legs.

Haru’s expression as she tapped on her cell phone looked very happy.

“I hit first and reverse tourism! King received? Are you angry? I want to take revenge, but I can’t do anything?”

*Beep- Click*

At the sound of the door opening, Haru threw her cell phone into the corner of the sofa and stood in front of the door.

“Have you arrived? Did you buy yogurt?”

Hae-su had only been to the convenience store, but he held up the plastic bag in his left hand as he watched Haru greet him with her hands clasped in front of her belly button.

“I bought it. Peach flavor.”

Haru’s face brightened noticeably when she saw the peach-flavored yogurt in the plastic bag.

Haru had recently become obsessed with the yogurt she had tasted by chance at Daesung Guard.

“Thank you!”

Hae-su stared strangely at Haru’s happy appearance. Hae-su didn’t seem to have ever eaten yogurt before, as he couldn’t remember what it tasted like.

‘Is it that delicious?’

Curious, he took one out to eat, but found a lot of yogurt on the lid. Hae-su pondered for a while after seeing it.

*Swish Swish Swish*

At that moment, Haru was seen neatly licking the yogurt lid like a cat.

Hae-su made a decision while looking at Haru and slowly brought the lid to his mouth.

At that moment, he spotted Haru’s head turning and quickly put it down and ate the yogurt with a spoon.

Then Haru tilted her head and approached.

“This is the most delicious part, why aren’t you eating it? Can I eat it?”

“Oh, go ahead.”

“Thank you.”

Haru neatly licked Hae-su’s yogurt lid as well.

“How is the training going?”

“I’m doing well without causing any accidents. Everyone is kind except for a few.”

“Are those few women by any chance?”

“How did you know? As expected, the landlord can see a thousand miles while sitting still.”

“Where did you hear that… You should treat those people better, with all your heart.”

“I understand. With all my heart.”

Haru clenched her small fist with a serious expression, not knowing that she had yogurt on her lips.

*

The 3-month training period, including the training camp, ended, and it was time to be assigned to the field with active senior officers.

Haru was called last.

“…Seo Ah-rin to the Daesung Entertainment actor team, Haru is… Huh?”

When the senior bodyguard calling the list paused, the team leader approached.

“Why? What is it? Huh? CEO?”

The team leader looked at Haru with questioning eyes and asked.

“Haru, are you acquainted with CEO Ahn Seo-eun?”

Haru had already passed the exam and completed the training, so she concluded that there was no need to hide the relationship. However, when asked what kind of relationship they had, it was difficult to define.

“Friend?”

“Jackpot.”

“Why are you saying that now?”

“Because you didn’t ask?”

“Wow…”

The senior bodyguards couldn’t hide their surprise, and those who had been secretly cursing her behind her back grabbed the back of their necks.

*

The Daesung Guard uniform is a white shirt, black tie, black suit, and black shoes.

Haru, wearing the Daesung uniform with her bangs neatly tied back without leaving a single strand, entered the office, and Seo-eun’s mouth dropped open.

Haru’s unique dry face and cold eyes exuded a force that made most men shrink back.

“Wow, you look like a different person. You really have the feeling of an elite bodyguard?”

“The training results are not enough to be called elite.”

“Haha, I think it would suit me better to say that, but Haru-ssi is a disguised bodyguard next to me first. Today’s concept is a friend.”

Haru shrugged her shoulders slightly and asked.

“Friend? We’re friends, but why a friend concept?”

Seo-eun had never properly defined their relationship, but she quite liked Haru already saying that they were friends.

“That’s right, but since you’re a bodyguard during work, you’re a friend-concept bodyguard. You probably don’t have any clothes, so I’ll lend you my clothes.”

“I understand.”

Inside Seo-eun’s CEO office, there was a separate small break room, and there were spare clothes there.

Haru came out wearing a pink round tee and a white tennis skirt that Seo-eun had chosen for her.

However, since she was more than 5 centimeters taller than Seo-eun, the skirt looked very short.

“Ah, it’s a little small. Is it okay?”

“It’s okay. If it’s short, my legs stand out.”

That’s one of the attractive points of a woman that Seo-eun told her. Seo-eun smiled and linked arms with Haru.

“Let’s go. Today is a department store tour.”

*

While Seo-eun and Haru were walking through the Daesung Department Store, a man was watching them from afar.

“Target confirmed, one bodyguard, one civilian.”
