Reversal of Life With Stock Cheats

Chapter 53

I went to the department store to buy a gift that girls would like for Ha-yeon, whom I haven’t seen in a long time. I was choosing a gift with great care while receiving recommendations from the clerks…

‘You’re tailing me?’

I looked around, but all I could see were clerks and shoppers. Rather, people occasionally glanced at us to see if we stood out more.

Jaffrey’s size was enough for anyone to look at.

“(How many people are there?)”

“(It’s like one.)”

Why are you following me?

It was uncomfortable that people were sticking to Dokgo Group before we even started an all-out war. If you are from the Dokgo Group, there is no need to delay an all-out war any longer.

I needed to check my opponent.

I moved to the side where there was no clerk and pretended to pick out something, lowering my voice.

“(Can you catch it?)”

“(The space is small, so I can’t be sure.)”

His size made it difficult to run among people. You can hit and run, but it’s not good to make a fuss.

“(Then what should I do?)”

“(Go to the bathroom and I’ll catch it. If something dangerous happens, set the alarm. I’ll go get it right away.)”

“(All right.)”

I held the alarm in my pocket in my hand and casually headed to the bathroom. Jaffrey pretended to accompany him to the bathroom, then used the emergency exit to get out.

I went into the partition and locked the door.

Beok beok beok beok beok. Footsteps were heard.

‘Are you the person I was following?’

In a nervous state, I focused my mind outside the door. Every time I heard footsteps, my nerves became sensitive, and my fists tightened. Even the sound of the water in the bathroom sink bothered me.

‘How long do I have to wait?’

Just when I couldn’t hear anything anymore, my pocket suddenly vibrated.

Jiying.

“Ouch! What a surprise.”

Jaffrey’s number was stamped on his cell phone.

I sighed and answered the phone.

“(hello.)”

{(Mr. Jaegu. This is Jaffrey. Got it. Are you in the bathroom now?)}

“(Yes. I’m leaving.)”

{(No. I don’t know if there will be a party, so I’ll go in. Mr. Jaegu wait inside.)}

“(All right.)”

Following the loud footsteps, I heard Jaffrey’s voice.

“(Mr. Jaegu. You can come out.)”

When I opened the door and came out, Jaffrey was arm in arm with a man. He was an average-sized man, but he looked like a child standing with Jaffrey.

“(Is that him?)”

“(Yes. I knocked him out.)”

It was kind of quiet.

“(Let’s get out of the department store for now.)”

I wasn’t strong enough to go shopping carefree knowing someone was following me, so I got the man in the car and headed to the outskirts.

After driving along the national highway for a while, I stopped the car after checking that there was no car following me.

“(This would be good.)”

It was a remote mountain road with no one passing by. I was a little worried about the underside of the Bentley because I was driving on dirt roads, but now was not the time to worry about that.

Jaffrey brought the man down.

“(Shall I wake you up?)”

“(Yes.)”

As he grabbed the man’s forearm and gave him strength, the man screamed and twisted.

“Aww!!!”

“Are you out of your mind?”

He looked back and forth between me and Jaffrey with terrified eyes. It looked like she was about to cry at any moment.

‘I don’t think I’m a professional.’

The pros in the movie were supposed to keep their composure in these situations.

“Why did you follow me?”

“Mi… tailing?”

“You’ve been following me.”

“It’s a misunderstanding. I don’t even know who you are.”

He waved his hands and shook his head.

“(Mr. Smith. Since when has this person been following you?)”

“(From the time I left the hotel. I chased after him in the red City 100.)”

From the hotel? If that was the case, he was saying that he might have been chasing me before then.

‘It’s good that you hired a bodyguard. Since when did you start walking around with tails?’

If it wasn’t for him, I would have met many people without even dreaming that I was being followed.

“Red City 100. Is it your motorcycle?”

“No. City 100. I…”

“If you search the rear black box, everything comes out.”

The man’s eyes suddenly sharpened. The crying and screaming just before was nowhere to be found.

‘This child. Was it acting?’

The man kept his mouth shut. It was tantamount to admitting to tailing.

“Who sent you?”

“·······.”

The man only glared at me, but showed no sign of opening his mouth.

‘Are you going to open your mouth?’

But isn’t it illegal to beat people? If he later sued for violence, it would be a headache.

I was thinking about what to do when Jaffrey interrupted.

“(Is an interrogation required?)”

“(Yes.)”

“(Pro’s interrogation is not easy. Leave it to the experts.)”

“(If you’re an expert…)”

“(This is Mr. Jung.)”

It was clear that Mr. Jung was referring to Benjamin, who was sent to monitor Ha-yeon’s activities.

“(Okay, let’s leave the pros to the pros.)”

“(Then I’ll knock you out again.)”

“Damn it!”

Perhaps reading the unusual atmosphere, the man head-butted Jaffrey. However, his struggles were lightly blocked by Jaffrey’s pot lid-like hand.

Jaffrey’s other hand seemed to be moving, and Puck! With a sound, the man fell to his knees. Crab foam bubbled up in his mouth, and his eyes rolled upside down.

“(Not dead, right?)”

“(People don’t die that easily.)”

I got goosebumps at the sight of Jaffrey raising the corner of his mouth cheerfully as if it were natural.

‘It’s really fortunate that we’re on the same side.’

***

First, I contacted Benjamin and explained what was going on. After leaving the fainting man in the care of the members of Titanium Security who were waiting at the hotel, he returned to the department store and bought a present for Ha-yeon.

‘You wouldn’t hate it because it’s a department store thing, right?’

A pretty bracelet and a doll for Ha-yeon were loaded into the trunk of the Bentley.

‘I hope Ha-yeon likes it.’

We broke up when I was 4 years old, but now I would have been 7 years old. I wanted to buy her clothes, but since I hadn’t seen her face in a long time, I didn’t know the size, so I had no choice but to pick out toys and bracelets.

I couldn’t trust my own sense, so I got help from an expert clerk, so I just hope that Ha-yeon will be happy.

Upon returning to the hotel, the bodyguards were waiting for us to welcome us.

“(Are you here?)”

I put the snacks I bought at the department store food hall on the table in the living room. Benjamin’s face was nowhere to be seen.

“(Where’s Benjamin?)”

“(Still inside.)”

Seo Kang-jae pointed to the tightly closed door. Jaffrey then walked into the room and knocked on the door.

“(Mr. Jung. Are you inside?)”

After a while, the door opened and Benjamin poked his head out with a flushed face.

“(Mr. Smith. What’s up?)”

“(He came.)”

“Ah. Your employer is here.”

Benjamin looked at me and smiled, half-moon eyes.

“Mr. Benjamin. I’m sure you’ll be busy with what you asked for, but thank you for your willingness to cooperate.”

“This is my job.”

He answered in fluent Korean. The tone and tone of voice were no different from those of ordinary Koreans.

“Did you find out who did it?”

“Yes. But I think we need to do a little more research to get closer to the body.”

“If it’s the main body…”

“I found out the location of the point organization I belong to, but it seems that the client really doesn’t know because it’s the lowest level. I’ll go and rob it.”

Benjamin’s eyes glanced at the snacks on the table.

“Please eat.”

“Is that okay? I used my strength, but I’m hungry…”

“Sure.”

He picked up a donut and bit it. Seeing the rich cream flow made me hungry, so I grabbed one and bit it.

“(Enjoy everyone.)”

“(thank you.)”

Others also started eating snacks.

Benjamin continued.

“Since there are five people, I think it will be difficult for me alone, so if you lend me Mr. Seo Kang-jae, the two of you will come.”

“Why does my name appear there?”

“There are five members of the organization, so I can’t go alone. I’m in the information department.”

“I’m good at fighting… I understand.”

Seo Kang-jae grumbled and got up from his seat.

“Is two people enough?”

“It’s better not to go because they stand out. The two of us will go.”

Seo Kang-jae also nodded.

Certainly, the foreign bodyguards were conspicuously large. At least Jason, who is small in stature, was away from surveillance work.

“Then please.”

“I’m leaving right now. I’m going to eat one more of this.”

“Eat as much as you like.”

“Me too.”

Benjamin and Seo Kang-jae grabbed another donut each and left the room.

***

that evening.

Received a call from Benjamin and returned to the hotel. He greeted me with a bright face.

“Are you here?”

“You found out who bought it?”

“Yes. Koreans are more lighthearted than I thought.”

He smiled and played the tape recorder. Benjamin’s voice was heard mixed with the man’s panting breath.

“Who made it?”

“Tae···Taesan Group Secretary’s Office···. Kheuk!”

Click.

He stopped the tape recorder and handed it along with a piece of paper.

“This is the contact information they gave you.”

“Good job.”

I don’t need to know what kind of move I used, as it’s a professional’s business. Hearing the man’s voice mixed with crying, I didn’t want to know even more.

‘It’s the Taesan Group secretary’s office…’

It’s not the Dokgo group, it’s the Taesan group.

I couldn’t come up with anything that could cause a grudge.

‘Why me?’

I grabbed the phone number in my hand. It seemed that I should contact you.

“Good job, Benjamin and Seo Kang-jae. I’ll take care of the incentives for today.”

At that, Benjamin saluted with a bright expression.

“I will continue to risk my life and work hard.”

It didn’t sound like a joke, so it was all the more reassuring.

“Damn it! How the hell did you do it?”

***

Choi Sang-tae, chief of staff at Taesan Group, threw the report at his subordinate. Paper flew in front of the face of a subordinate who was resting with great enthusiasm, but he just lowered his head.

But the truth was different.

‘Is that my fault?’

It was a request made by choosing the best place for tailing among the three fixer offices that handled the work of the Taesan Group.

Nevertheless, it could be seen that what caught the tail was the network problem of the Taesan Group rather than his own problem.

However, talking about it only lengthened the time to listen to the nagging.

Choi Sang-tae scratched his head nervously.

It was because Kim Jae-gu contacted him on his cannon phone. The Daepo phone was a number known only to the members of the fixer’s office who worked with him.

‘That means everything was robbed.’

The fact that the phone number was leaked meant that other information could have been leaked as well. He bit his lip softly.

‘This is why I shouldn’t have worked with ignorant people.’

Regrets, it was too late.

‘Rather than that, how the heck did you catch it?’

When he investigated Kim Jae-gu, he did not have the ability to detect the tailing of Kim Jae-gu. It was because the meeting with Ricardo was relatively recent, so it was not updated.

Choi Sang-tae frowned.

“Let’s meet in person. Do I look so lighthearted?”

I didn’t like that a guy who couldn’t even be the representative of a small business asked for a direct interview.

“I… I’m going.”

The subordinate intervened noticeably, but the timing was not good. At his words, the tantrum rose even more.

“What are you going to do with a guy who follows but can’t handle it properly?”

“That…that’s it.”

“Go out and do something!”

“All right!”

Seongtae Choi let out a sigh as he looked at the back of his subordinate as he nodded and hurriedly left the office of the chief of staff.

***

Choi Seong-tae and Kim Jae-gu met at a Korean restaurant in Seocho-gu. Of course, Seongtae Choi was supposed to pay.

Choi Seong-tae’s face turned white when he saw Jae-gu Kim appearing with the four giants. It was because he knew very well the emblem on their chest.

‘Titanium Security!’

As one of the world’s top three security companies, it was famous for having numerous bodyguards from mercenaries. The Taesan Group also applied for dispatch to protect the chairman, but the waiting period was long, so he canceled and hired him elsewhere.

‘If I knew there were bodyguards, I wouldn’t have followed them…’

It was said that if you could hire four bodyguards from Titanium Security, you would be a big man.

‘no way···.’

The amount of embezzlement was known to be 1.5 billion, but in fact, wouldn’t it be a much larger amount? I had a stupid thought for a while. However, the scale of Gangmyeong Mulsan was not that large.

“It’s a little late.”

Kim Jae-gu naturally took his place opposite Choi Sang-tae.

As his bodyguards scattered left and right and sat down, the one bodyguard brought by Choi Sang-tae looked dwarfed. He looked at the bodyguards of Titanium Security and shrugged his shoulders a little, as if he was discouraged.

“You seem too late to meet me from the first meeting.”

“Well. Shouldn’t the person secretly following someone be more sorry?”

His composure and spirit had become a completely different person from previous investigations.

‘What happened?’

But I couldn’t ask myself.

“I heard that you requested to follow me.”

“sorry.”

If I said no now, I wouldn’t believe it.

“Why?”

“Because I had something to check.”

“What do you mean?”

“I had to make sure it wasn’t black money.”

Chairman Lim Cheol-hyun was most worried that black money might have gone into Lim Han-ul’s company. He didn’t openly say it, but Choi Sang-tae, the chief of staff who had served him for over 10 years, accepted it that way.

“Isn’t the black hand being utilized there?”

“sorry.”

Tailing, blackmailing, processing. There was nothing to say since the fixer’s office, which was in charge of the dirty work of the company, was robbed.

“Why are you curious about that?”

“That’s not something I can talk about.”

“I’m sure the president will direct you.”

“no.”

“Isn’t the job of the chief secretary to help the president?”

“·······.”

Choi Sang-tae, who had been stabbed to the point, tried to feign composure.

“It was an act of my own accord.”

The two met eyes without speaking.

A table full of Hanjeongsik was laid out, but no one lifted a spoon.

A moment of silence passed.

Kim Jae-gu lowered his eyes.
