The Dark Atmosphere (Twenty Two)
Yeri, Sehun, Lay, Minzi, and Myungso immediately stood alert as Haejun walked into their room with a flat face and looked rushed. They all seemed so curious about the results of the meeting conducted by the general council, but they were afraid to ask him because of Haejun's completely unfriendly facial expression.
“Prepare, we will catch Park Jaejong.” Haejun said firmly. The five agents looked at each other, and when Haejun again snapped at them, they immediately caught the fog to get ready.
“What do we do captain, what do we need to bring?” tanya Myungso represented her comrades. Haejun clucked annoyed with the performance of his men who became very slow, even though he had only left them for one week.
“Bring whatever you think is useful, because we'll ambush Park Jaejong at the airport. And my hunch says if it won't be easy because he will have a lot of bodyguards protecting him.”
The five of them then immediately prepared their weapons in anticipation of a firefight. Haejun himself after saying that immediately ran to his car without concern for his slow men because he only wanted to immediately drag Park Jaejong to the headquarters to be interrogated. He believes that Park Jaejong is the key that will bring him into the Korean mafia syndicate and to reveal the various frauds perpetrated by the ministers so far.
Fifteen minutes later Haejun had arrived at Incheon airport to ambush Park Jaejong. Five minutes ago his colleague said Park Jaejong was at the gate, and the man looked angry that he was not allowed to leave without a reason.
“Park Jaejong ssi, how are you?”
The mid-forty man turned his head quickly towards Haejun and he immediately threw his sharp gaze at Haejun. He who was originally arguing with the airport officer immediately walked over to Haejun while clenching his handbooks to whiten.
“What are you doing here captain Lee?” park Jaejong asked in a scornful tone. All of his bodyguards not far from him were immediately seen on standby when they saw a gun tucked behind Haejun's belt. But Park Jaejong told them to stay calm because Haejun would not be able to attack in the open.
“I want to pick you up, dear Mr. Park Jaejong ssi. You were involved in the smuggling of illegal goods in China and you killed one of our agents.”
“Hahaha... For the smuggling problem it's true, because you've seen it all these last few weeks. But about killing one of your agents? I don't seem to do it? But just a moment ago I had indeed ordered my men to take what was precious from you in return for your actions that disrupted my business. Is your wife one of the agents in your base? Ckckckck, I heard the rules at the state intelligence headquarters are very strict, have you broken any of the rules?” park Jaejong asked in a relaxed tone and seemed scornful. Haejun clenched his hands furiously while preparing to pull his gun to kill Park Jaejong. To hell with his position being in a public place, he was sure his men had secured this place by now.
“You killed my wife motherfucker!” hiss Haejun was full of threats. Park Jaejong laughed again snidely as he put both his hands in his pants pocket haughtily.
“Ohh... I think it's all because of your wife's great curiosity, too. According to the testimony of my men, your agent named Im Yuka recklessly broke into my storage warehouse and stole all the information that he should not have heard. So, other than through your mistake, his life was lost because he was too involved in my affairs. He deserves that punishment Captain Lee. And do you know if my men had tasted his body before he was shot and burned in that barn? I actually saved you Captain Lee, because you would definitely feel disgusted at your wife after she was raped by all my men.”
Haejun closed his eyes while imagining Yuka's face, which was probably frightened by Park Jaejong's men. He then opened his eyes to Park Jaejong and put his semi-automatic pistol right in Park Jaejong's head, preparing to kill the devious man right now.
Cclek
The sound of a bullet slot pulled by Haejun made all of Park Jaejong's men point their guns at Haejun. Now Haejun is surrounded by dozens of Park Jaejong's men who are pointing a gun at him. However he did not care, the current lodged in his heart was a distress as he thought of Yuka. He could not imagine how Yuka suffered in the last seconds of her death. And if Yuka survived, she herself would also not know how Yuka behaved because it was possible that the woman would experience a very great mental shock.
“You will die in my hand Park Jaejong.”
Dorr
A bullet shot towards Park Jaejong and penetrated Park Jaejong's left arm until the black suit worn by Park Jaejong is now seen to have changed color due to the seepage of blood coming out of his arm. And after that the sound of gunfire that was mutually disdainful further add to the boisterous atmosphere of the airport that was previously silent because it had been emptied by Haejun's men.
Dorr dorr
Haejun hid behind a pillar while observing Park Jaejong who was holding back pain while surrounded by his men. Minzi, Lay, Sehun and others are trying to bring down Park Jaejong's men who are also fighting them. He also refocused on Park Jaejong because his current target is only Park Jaejong. He accidentally doesn't kill Park Jaejong now because he will be useful to uncover the identity of his big boss. And anyway he had to break through the guards' defenses so he could drag Park Jaejong to his base to be interrogated.
Dor
Haejun managed to drop two of Park Jaejong's men who were originally standing in front of Park Jaejong. Now the man's guard is getting weaker because one by one his men managed to be dropped by his intel team. Haejunpun decided to slightly approach the position of Park Jaejong who was not far from him. He only needs to get rid of three more men, and after that he will get Park Jaejong.
“Awas!! Quickly protect me.”
Faintly Haejun hears Park Jaejong's voice which turns frantic as more and more of his men fall in front of him. While Haejun looked so satisfied when he saw Park Jaejong's frightened expression because that was what he had expected since. He also waited for Park Jaejong to kneel at his feet and beg for mercy.
Dorr
Suddenly a bullet shot towards Haejun and made the man fall down instantly while holding his right abdomen that had just been shot. But as strong as he could, Haejun remained standing even though blood was currently sliding from his stomach and wetting the floor he was treading on.
“To all of you!!”
Dor dor dorr dorr
Haejun shot his bullets in various directions like an infidelity man without caring if his bullets would kill people who might be innocent. But fortunately Haejun shot precisely, so that only those from Park Jaejong's side died from his indiscriminate shooting. After that Haejun immediately approached Park Jaejong with a staggering step because the man had lost. He managed to drop all his men and left Park Jaejong himself to be interrogated at his headquarters.
“This time I will not let you die because you have to account for all your actions. So remember carefully if you live not because you deserve to live, but because I let you live.” hiss Haejun horribly while clutching the collar of Park Jaejong's powerful shirt. Lay and Minzi direct
running towards Haejun to take the captain to the hospital because the floor that his captain was currently treading on was filled with blood coming out of Haejun's stomach. Perhaps because of his anger, Haejun was unaware of the gunshot wound that had perforated his stomach. But if left unchecked, then Haejun would die from blood loss.
“Captain, we're going to the hospital now!”
Haejun slightly decayed to the floor after he felt such a stinging pain in his right abdomen. He then used his hand to press the wound even stronger so that his blood would not continue to come out and make him bleed to death.
“Argghh... Take Park Jaejong to headquarters, lest he escape.”
“Captain!”
Yeri suddenly appeared with a deathly pale face that was so terrifying. Sehun who was behind him looked astonished by the look on Yeri's face that looked so pale just because he saw his captain bleeding. Though they've seen more terrible things than just Haejun's hollow stomach.
“Lay, you and Yeri take the captain to the hospital, I will take Park Jaejong with the others to the headquarters.” Sehun said giving the order.
“No! Lay, you take Park Jaejong to the base, Sehun and I will take Captain Lee to the hospital. He knows the nearest shortcut to the hospital.” Yeri said quickly to Lay. Sehun and Yeri stared for a long time, before they ended their eye contact due to Haejun's moaning.
“I
need a doctor now!”
Sehun and Yeri quickly swept Haejun's body towards their car. While Minzi, Lay, and Myungso directly dragged Park Jaejong who is currently cuffed while walking staggering because of holding the pain in his arm.
For now they have managed to capture Park Jaejong and they hope that the mafia case will be revealed soon after they interrogate Park Jaejong to get the names that stand behind the organization.

2 Hours before~
“How is it?”
“So far his heart rate is stable. But he must immediately get further medical measures to recover his condition.”
“Bring him to America. According to him the girl can be a very useful pawn.”
A man wearing a white uniform immediately nodded obediently and immediately went to prepare the tools he would need during the journey from Korea to America.
Meanwhile Park Jaejong looked so serious looking at the face of a woman who
I don't know why he managed to make his feelings become mixed.
“Krystal Park, never disappoint your father.” hiss Park Jaejong slowly in front of the peaceful-looking krystal face with various life-supporting tools installed throughout his body.
“Master, those intel have sniffed our movements. What should we do now?”
A sangar-faced man walked into Park Jaejong's room in a hurry. Park Jaejong seemed to think for a moment while staring at the old krystal rigid body. They can't figure out the plan that will move her daughter to America. And now it was time to get out of his golden cage.
“We're going to the airport now. I will turn myself in.” Park Jaejong said casually. The roaring-faced man who was standing in front of his boss immediately raised his head in confusion with a surprised expression that was clearly imprinted on his face. But Park Jaejong casually walked straight towards him while patting the man on the shoulder slowly.
“Never look back. When you have the chance, immediately take my daughter away from Korea. And one day you have to tell him to pick me up.”
After saying that Park Jaejong immediately walked away from Krystal's room to immediately leave for the airport. Today he will sacrifice himself for a better future. And for the glory of his precious family business.

Haejun lay weakly in a hospital room after doctors managed to remove a bullet lodged in his right abdomen. The bullet nearly tore through his kidney wall. Fortunately, he often exercised to enlarge the muscles in his body, so that the bullet only managed to penetrate the muscle layer.
“Ck, I'm bored.”
Haejun snorted angrily at himself as there was no one to accompany him after the surgery. Whereas in the past, he was now getting tired of remembering his past. Now there's only him and Enzo, the rest, he's alone. And as Yuka left, she became aware of what life meant, she realized that all these living humans would die. So there's no reason for him to continue
crying for Yuka, he must rise to continue living before he will also catch up with Yuka to meet the Lord.
Haejun closed his eyes tightly while holding a picture of Yuka who had always been in his wallet because he could not possibly put it on his desk. But maybe now he can do it. After Yuka left, no more theatrics needed to be played.
“I can't keep being here like a cripple, I have to go back to headquarters to interrogate Park Jaejong that bastard.”
Srek
Haejun pulled out the infusion needle attached to the back of his hand. Then he immediately looked for his shirt which was in the closet next to his cage. While slightly moaning in pain, Haejun immediately put on all his shirts in full and rushed to go to the headquarters. To hell with the doctor's ban that doesn't allow him to move too much, because he still has a lot of tasks that he has to complete.

Yeri walked slowly inside the hallway of the headquarters while thinking about all the events that happened today. A flash of memory when the captain fell due to being hit by hot lead that penetrated his stomach back
crashing in his head. He actually wanted to distrust his sense of sight, but what he saw today was completely real. He saw Sehun shoot the bullet at Haejun. But really it is very
hoping if Sehun actually just misdirected. He is afraid that Sehun is actually another spy that Jaeshin intended.
“Yeri.”
Yeri jumped in shock while staring at Sehun horror. He had just thought about the man, and now the man was already in front of him and was looking at him with a confused and worried look.
“You okay? Your face is pale.” Sehun comments while observing Yeri's face up close. Yeri banished Sehun's face which was right in front of her while clucking in annoyance.
“I'm fine, don't bother me.”
“But you don't seem to be okay, do you want me to take you to the doctor?”
Yeri looked at Sehun deeply and directly pulled Sehun's hand towards the corner of the hall that looked lonely. The woman looked at Sehun earnestly, while Sehun looked amused with Yeri's uncharacteristic expression.
“Do you want to imitate the scene in the drama? A woman pulls her man's hand against the wall, then kisses him. Do you want to do something like that to me?”
“Shut your mouth Oh Sehun, I don't want to joke with you. Tell me did you shoot Captain Lee?”
Sehun laughed out loud at Yeri's unreasonable accusations.
“Do I look that bad? Why did I shoot captain Lee, don't be silly Kim Yeri.” said Sehun disparagingly. Yeri pushed Sehun's chest against the wall while gripping Sehun's shirt collar tightly. He had to get Sehun cornered in order for the man to admit it.
“I know everything Oh Sehun, you.”.
“What do you know Kim Yeri?”
Suddenly Haejun appeared behind them while staring dazedly at the two human people who were standing in the corner of such a desolate passageway.
“Kcaptain? What is the captain doing here? Isn't the captain sick?”
“That doesn't matter Kim Yeri, what are you hiding from me?”
Haejun looked at the two humans fully inquiring, but none of them wanted to speak up.
“Aaaku.. I know that Oh Sehun loves senior Im captain, but I read his diary.”
Sehun rounded his eyes in disbelief as he looked at Yeri. That woman could have made up such a ridiculous story. After this his pride as a real man will definitely be damaged by Yeri's boast.
“Hmm, you love my wife, that's your right. I have no right to ban it.”
After saying that Haejun immediately passed away from the presence of the two of them while walking limply to withstand the pain that spread around his stomach. Maybe after this he should inject a little painkiller, or morphine to reduce the painful physical torment.
“Listen, I'll expose your secret Oh Sehun. I'll reveal your rot whether you're the traitor or not.” Yeri's whispers were full of warning before leaving Sehun alone with an indecipherable facial expression.
“I'm not a traitor. And you will never get a real answer to your assumption that Kim Yeri ssi.” hissed Sehun angrily while looking at the departure of Yeri who had disappeared behind the elevator.

In a noisy club, an old man with two women on his right and left was sipping his whiskey leisurely while enjoying every stripes peddling their bodies in front of him. The man occasionally kissed the cheek of the young woman next to his right while stroking the woman's thigh in a directional motion. Tonight he is enjoying his victory because he has managed to trap the intel and make them think that Park Jaejong will be useful to them. Since the beginning, Park Jaejong was a bait. The man despite having been captured by Haejun and his men, he would not give any answer as this was indeed part of their plan. The man deliberately used his nephew to outwit the intel, while he would continue to move with his illegal business that would grow rapidly.
“Let's celebrate our victory.”
The old man raised his whiskey glass high while toasting with his comrades who had also been hiding behind his great power.
“Your niece is already a state prisoner, then what are you going to do to her to free Jaejong? You can't possibly hold him with that intel, right?”
“Hahaha.. For now I will let Jaejong be in that prison along with the rotten intel that always interfere with my business. Besides there I've put my men to watch over him, so he'll still be fine despite being in the enemy's area. I want to test his daughter's strength anyway. If he's conscious later, I'll use him as my pawn.”
The man lit up a cigar and exhaled his smoke in a barking style that looked so powerful.
“But who will keep the woman in America?”
“He already has Yunho, the man who will be a bodyguard and also a protector until the woman is ready to use, my grandson, Krystal Park.”

Jaekyung ran around with Enzo's hands along the hallways in the headquarters. After he contacted Haejun and the man said that he was injured, Jaekyung frantically went straight after Haejun to the headquarters with Enzo who seemed to not understand the change in Jaekyung's attitude that increasingly bar-bar.
“Lee Haejun!! Are you okay?”
Haejun looked at Jaekyung flat and returned to his dossiers scattered on the table. When Enzo came up to him and asked to sit on Haejun's lap, Haejun directly lifted him up while stroking Enzo's head gently.
“Hey, what are you doing today at home? Is everything okay?”
“Today I cooked pancakes with aunty Jae, but the cooking is not as good as mommy.” Enzo whispers slowly in Haejun's ear. It felt like Haejun wanted to laugh and ridicule Jaekyung. But given the kindness of that woman who was willing to help him to keep Enzo, it felt like it was inappropriate to do so.
“Maybe next time aunty Jae will do it better.”
“What? You guys talking about me?” Jaekyung asked annoyed while shaking her waist. Really today feel very tired because this is his first experience caring for a little child. And he did not know that Enzo was the type of child who was so critical of small things that made him tired of having to answer Enzo's endless questions.
“Thank you, you've been keeping Enzo today.”
Jaekyung smiled gently at Haejun while nodding her head slowly. Finally his sacrifice today to keep Enzo was not in vain because he got a very sincere thanks from Haejun. And to him the thanks that came out of Haejun's lips was a miracle that he might not hear another time.
“Oya, are you okay? I heard today you got hurt for ambushing a mobster. I was very panicked and also worried when I received a call from you.”
“Daddy shot?"
Enzo looks worried while researching his daddy's body from head to toe. It seemed like Yuka's death had left the little man traumatized. Evidently at this time he was so frightened and as if he would lose his daddy in a moment.
“Don't go, don't leave Enzo.”
“Daddy is fine. Hey, there's nothing you need to fear. Daddy's gonna stay here with Enzo. Don't cry, don't show your weakness in front of others, especially women.”
Haejun reminded Enzo of his teachings that a man should always be manly and tough, no matter what.
“Thank God if you're okay. Eee... Do you want to eat? I'll...”
“Never cook any food, because the cuisine of aunty Jae is not tasty.”
Haejun laughed out loud mocking Jaekyung who was currently pursing her lips funny because she was offended by Dongha's mocking laughter. But at once he felt grateful for his stupidity in terms of cooking, because thanks to his stupidity, now he could see Haejun's free laugh that was completely off. And this was Haejun's first laugh after Yuka left him.
“Better we find the nearest restaurant and eat together. I don't want to risk poisoning because of your food Jae.”
Jaekyung just nodded his head while walking around Haejun and Enzo who had already
walking ahead of him while giggling small for what reason. But clearly at this time the woman was grateful that she could see Haejun's smile again after what had happened to the man lately.
