You Have Been Defended – Episode 584

From the main gate to the Ribbon Medical Center building, it would take about 10 minutes without any obstacles.

Forests stretched out on both sides of the cleanly swept uphill road.

Even though they had passed through the main gate, the scenery wasn’t much different from the entrance road.

Inside, there was no movement or sound detected, as if they hadn’t noticed the police raid.

As police officers, they believed they shouldn’t use illegal means, but they certainly wouldn’t have anticipated this situation without the jammer and CCTV hacking.

After passing the curve in the upper road, they would be within sight of the guards patrolling near the building.

Lee Jin-woo briefly surveyed the surroundings and then gestured towards the landscaping trees.

Rustle, rustle.

All the officers pushed through the landscaping trees and entered the forest.

Going up this way would allow them to raid from a point closer to the building.

This was because the landscaping was connected to the front and back of the building according to satellite photos.

“It’s 10:37 AM.”

Heo Min-woo said, checking the time.

There were 23 minutes left until 11 AM.

There would be another fight with the security personnel in front of the Ribbon Medical Center building.

And even if they blocked the radio or phone, shouting there would be audible inside the building, so they would stop preparing for the surgery from then on.

“We’ll arrive near the building in 8 minutes.”

Lee Jin-woo replied.

For another 8 minutes, they ran through the forest.

“…….”

The officers, who were running straight through the trees, lowered their bodies together when Lee Jin-woo, at the head, lowered his body and reached out.

It was the edge of the forest.

From here on, there were flower beds planted with short landscaping trees and flowers.

“Turn off the jammer and check the situation at the back gate.”

Lee Jin-woo said to Heo Min-woo.

Originally, during the operation meeting, the jammer was to be kept on until they were within sight and hearing range of the people inside the building.

But fortunately, since they entered through the forest, there were no clashes with security personnel while moving.

Lee Jin-woo seemed to think that the back gate would also enter the forest with the same judgment as the front gate, turn off the jammer, and attempt communication.

It was different from the original plan, but their judgment, with a lot of field experience, would likely be correct.

When Heo Min-woo nodded, Lee Jin-woo turned off the jammer and pressed the radio headset button.

“Entry One, Support One. Waiting behind the flower bed at 4 o’clock direction of the main building. Entry Two, Support Two, send.”

He checked the time while waiting for a response.

“Entry One, Support One. Waiting behind the flower bed at 4 o’clock direction of the main building. Entry Two, Support Two, send.”

Lee Jin-woo repeated in a low voice after sending the radio message again.

“I will attempt communication for 1 minute, and if there is no response, I will enter.”

Lee Jin-woo sent the radio two more times after that.

And about 10 seconds before the 1-minute time limit, an answer came back.

─Entry Two, Support Two. Resend.

“Entry One, Support One. Waiting behind the flower bed at 4 o’clock direction of the main building. Over.”

─Entry Two, Support Two. Waiting behind the flower bed at 10 o’clock direction of the main building.

“Support One, 3 people remain at the main entrance. Support Two, report dismissed.”

─Support Two, 2 people remain at the sub-entrance, no other dismissals.

“All security personnel at the main entrance have been apprehended. Report the situation at the sub-entrance.”

─All security personnel at the sub-entrance have been apprehended.

Lee Jin-woo sent a report request via radio to the other team, and all standby teams reported the situation in turn.

All clear.

Lee Jin-woo checked the security personnel visible through the landscaping trees.

And waited for the guards patrolling near the building to move further away from the entrance.

When they arrived at the 8 o’clock direction of the building, he sent a radio message.

“Entry One, Support One, waiting to enter the 6 o’clock direction entrance. Entering after the signal. Except for the officers who will suppress the resisting personnel, enter the interior immediately.”

─Received. Entry Two, Support Two, entering the 11 o’clock direction entrance upon signal.

The response came back immediately.

“Start the operation. Omit the reply.”

Lee Jin-woo sent a hand signal to the team members at the same time as the radio message.

All the officers instantly crossed the flower bed and ran towards the building entrance.

“Police…….”

“It’s the patrol team! The nest is empty!”

One of the guards who discovered the police first quickly sent a radio message, and the guards scattered nearby also ran towards the entrance.

“But why didn’t the main gate bastards say anything when the cops showed up?!”

“Just block them!”

“They say they came in through the back gate too?”

“There was no word from the control room either, so what’s going on…….”

By the time 6 guards blocked the entrance, the officers had also arrived in front of the entrance.

At the same time, the entire building was blacked out.

It was a primary measure to hinder the police’s entry.

“This is an illegal organ trafficking and murder site. Does blocking the police now mean you’re an accomplice? If not, come out.”

At Heo Min-woo’s words, a guard shouted.

“Show me the warrant first! Otherwise, I can’t…….”

Then Lee Jin-woo chuckled.

The warrant, the warrant.

“Go in!”

Only the encirclement team, which had been pre-assigned to apprehend those fleeing outside the building, remained, and the entire force pushed past the guards and quickly entered the building.

When they turned on the lamps on their tactical helmets, the interior, which had only been lit by green emergency exit lights, became brighter.

Tada, dada, dak.

Numerous footsteps were heard from the stairwell.

The confrontation lasted for a little over 1 minute, but it seemed to have been enough time for the guards inside to buy time for reinforcements to come out.

“There will be strong resistance! Run to the stairwell!”

All the officers ran towards the stairwell.

“It’s 10:49 AM now. When the news of the raid reached the inside, So-eun would have at least left the hospital room and be on her way to the operating room!”

Heo Min-woo shouted.

The hospital room is on the 2nd floor, and the operating room is on the 3rd basement floor.

And each secret passage is located on the 2nd and 3rd basement floors.

It was said that anesthesia takes 1 hour and heart extraction takes 2 hours, so Onodera’s grandson would have been waiting in the hospital room located on the 2nd floor.

But the primary goal is to rescue So-eun.

Now is not the time to divide the force.

“The operating room is on the 3rd basement floor! All the secret passages are also underground!”

“The Captain and I will check the 3rd basement floor together.”

It has been about 2 minutes since the patrolling guards informed those inside about the police raid.

Even if they were preparing for anesthesia, the doctors would have fled to the secret passage on the 3rd basement floor, which is close to the operating room.

Even if they knew about the police raid, they wouldn’t have known that the secret passage had been seized.

Im Hyun-il will be caught by the external standby team soon.

What did they do with So-eun?

Since they need to minimize criminal evidence, there is a high probability that they will try to take her away.

If so, there would be a lot of guards attached to the 3rd basement floor.

They would have also rushed there to support the evacuation of Onodera and his mother, who were waiting in the hospital room.

Since they would have tried to guide them to the secret passage anyway, if they are lucky, Onodera and his mother might also be underground.

“Everyone go down to the basement, four search the 2nd basement floor, and the rest search the secret passage on the 3rd floor first!”

When he arrived in front of the stairwell, Lee Jin-woo pressed the radio headset button.

“Entry One, entering the basement through the right stairwell. Entry Two, some go up to the control room to identify Park So-eun and the location of the targets, and the rest support the basement. It is expected that the targets are also in the basement.”

The CCTV that he had checked all the way here was on.

This means that only the lighting power was cut off, not the entire building’s power.

They are trying to secure a safe escape route by checking the police’s location through CCTV.

─Received. Entry Two, entering the basement through the left stairwell.

The response came back quickly.

The team members ran down the stairs three steps at a time.

In a few seconds, they passed the 1st basement floor and ran towards the 2nd basement floor.

Thump, thump, thump, thump.

At that time, just as numerous footsteps echoed in the stairwell, a loud noise rang out.

“Block them!”

As soon as the police officers set foot on the landing between the 1st and 2nd basement floors, the guards rushed out from the 1st and 2nd basement floors.

They were all holding weapons in their hands.

It was quite brutal.

They were fatal blunt weapons and weapons such as iron pipes and sashimi knives.

The team members at the front and the team members at the rear raised their shields towards the guards.

“These bastards are crazy.”

Heo Min-woo chuckled and muttered.

To threaten the police with weapons in an organized manner in 21st century Korea.

RND, the operating entity of Ribbon Medical Center, was hidden very carefully, and it’s even a foreign corporation.

If caught, they were planning to handle it as a human trafficking case by a foreign criminal organization.

That’s what the guards’ appearances and the tattoos revealed between their shirt sleeves suggested.

Well, even if the Wooshin medical staff is caught, if they say they were hired by a foreign criminal organization, it will be treated as just a personal problem of the large hospital’s medical staff.

It means that they will prevent the executives from being known at all costs, even if it is unreasonable.

Wooshin wouldn’t have known that Ribbon Medical Center or human trafficking information was leaking, but it’s very surprising that they prepared to this extent in that situation.

“Entry One, a group armed with weapons was discovered on the landing between the 1st and 2nd basement floors. Send whether support is possible.”

─Entry Two, same here. Support is not possible.

It seemed that the same situation was happening in the opposite stairwell.

“Break through!”

At Lee Jin-woo’s command, the special forces holding shields began to push and force back the people coming up.

“Ugh! Ugh!”

“Augh!”

The guards standing on the 2nd basement floor stairs fell over, and the formation temporarily collapsed.

“Keep pushing, keep pushing!”

Tung, tung! Tung!

The shields and bulletproof helmets were hit by the blunt weapons wielded by the guards pushing down from the 1st basement floor, and a dull sound echoed.

“Gas gun!”

One of the team members shouted loudly, and at the same time, the team members holding the shields quickly covered their respirators.

Chee-ik!

When tear gas was fired, the guards wielding knives momentarily pulled their heads back and tightly closed their eyes.

“Taser!”

Chijik!

“What are these hospital security guards always carrying on their thighs!”

The team member who shot the taser gun at the guards’ thighs while the shield was defending against the guards pushing down from behind shouted as if he was dumbfounded.

“No calves, no calves!”

Then another team member shouted.

Chijik!

Once again, the taser was fired and the electrodes were stuck in the guard’s calf.

Then, the guard’s body seemed to stiffen like a wooden statue and fell forward.

The team members received the body with their shields and pushed it up.

Then, the guards who were jumping down stepped on the fallen person’s torso or lost their balance by getting caught.

“Calves are empty!”

The team member who turned his head and briefly checked the situation below shouted loudly.

Lee Jin-woo, who was pushing down while pushing up the guards, immediately took out the taser and aimed it at the guards’ calves.

Chijik!

The formation of those coming up from below was temporarily broken due to the fallen guards and the guards who lost their balance due to the shields.

“Keep going!”

The police did not miss the opportunity.

They pushed straight through and arrived in front of the 2nd basement floor door.

Some of the officers quickly entered the 2nd basement floor.

The guards tried to enter the 2nd basement floor emergency exit together to prevent this, but the last team member who entered pushed the guard away and grabbed the emergency exit doorknob.

“Block it, you bastard!”

One of the guards put his foot in the door gap and then put his weight on the door that was about to close to block it.

Then another guard put his hand holding the sashimi knife into the door gap and waved it threateningly as if he was trying to stab it.

“Aagh!”

The special forces member grabbed the blade with his gloved hand and hit the guard’s wrist hard.

Chaejaejaeng!

The sashimi knife fell to the floor, and as the guard reflexively pulled his hand out, the emergency exit door closed.

“The right stairwell 2nd basement floor emergency exit is sealed for the purpose of blocking obstacles. When additional officers support, enter through the left stairwell or send a message in advance.”

The team members who finished the radio message began to search the 2nd basement floor.

Meanwhile, the remaining officers, including Heo Min-woo and Lee Jin-woo, were pushing down to the 3rd basement floor, where the operating room and two secret passages were located.

How many guards did they hire? There were not one or two people rolling on the floor, but there were still a lot of guards pushing up from the 3rd basement floor.

“Be careful!”

The sashimi knife suddenly came in between the shields.

There was no time to feel the pain, but the clothes, wet with blood, clung to the skin, as if there were places that had been cut by the blades they were wielding indiscriminately.

Heo Min-woo checked the time.

It’s 10:56 now.

It’s time for the people who escaped through the secret passage to have come out to the exit.

─Standby Three, two medical staff apprehended. No main target among them.

Just in time, a radio message came in from the standby team.

It seemed that the two people who had fled through the secret passage first had come out.

─Standby One, two medical staff apprehended. No main target.

News came one after another.

It seemed that the medical staff who had gathered in the operating room to anesthetize So-eun were being caught one after another.

It seemed that they had gone out evenly to the secret passages on the 2nd and 3rd basement floors, but there was no news of Im Hyun-il and Onodera and his mother, who were expected to have escaped first.

If there is no word from the encirclement team, it means they are still inside the hospital.

Since they don’t know how far the police are spread out, they must have decided to hide until they check whether the secret passage is safe.

There were several secret spaces that were only confirmed on the blueprints. That’s where they would hide.

Heo Min-woo unfolded the design drawing and checked the location.

In the meantime, they arrived at the hallway where the secret passage was located.

The team members immediately split to both ends and ran towards each secret passage.

Heo Min-woo stopped for a moment and looked around, then fixed his gaze on the front.

“There is space between the two secret passages. It seems to be here, behind this vending machine.”

Heo Min-woo compared the drawing with the current location and looked up at the vending machine.

“I’ll push it.”

Lee Jin-woo started pushing the vending machine to the side, and Heo Min-woo joined in.

Even though the vending machine is heavy, it didn’t budge as strangely as it should.

“Why is this so…….”

─This is the operations headquarters.

At that time, Cha Joo-han’s voice flowed from Lee Jin-woo’s radio headset.

─There is a handle on the left side of the vending machine. Even if you don’t have a key, the handle will come out when you press it. Open it. Send after execution.

He decided not to ask how he knew that and was instructing him.

Lee Jin-woo opened the vending machine as Cha Joo-han said.

The vending machine was just a disguise, and a heavy door that looked like a large safe appeared in front of him.

Lee Jin-woo grabbed the circular handle on the door with both hands and turned it.

It didn’t budge.

“The vending machine is open, and I found the door. But it won’t open. I can see something like a keypad next to it, and it seems like I need to swipe a card or enter a password to open it. Send.”

─The password is 4296. So-eun and one guard are inside. The guard is holding a weapon. It may be dangerous, so please support other officers. Over.
