The Forgotten Day (Eight)
“So this is a sketch of the bank robbers Shinhan and Woori. Their plot numbered five. These two short-haired people were executors, those who would empty the bank vaults and
take the money away. While the rest, they serve as guards who will protect their two friends who are in action emptying the bank vault. So do you understand your task today?” asked Yuka firmly. All the members of the two devision nodded in unison and immediately prepared to make an ambush towards the Woori bank.
“Senior Im, the robbers detained all bank customers and also bank employees because the police surrounded them. We must get there immediately to save the hostages.” Yeri reports in a hurry. Yuka nodded in understanding and immediately told the other agents to prepare the weapons they would need.
“You've used bulletproof vests? I am worried that there will be a shootout there.” Yuka reminded. All his juniors nodded in agreement and they immediately walked together towards the state intel-owned car that was already parked in front.
“Lay, keep monitoring the movements of the robbers, lest they drop the victim. Tell the police on guard there, no one tries to enter or take up arms, tell them to stay calm until we come to negotiate.” Yuka's orders are firm. Lay nodded his head and immediately contacted one of the policemen who was carrying out a siege around the Woori bank.

Haejun hurriedly walked towards the private residence of President Park along with his father as well as several other state officials. A relative of the president, who is an ambassador in China, said two days ago that he had found a syndicate group selling illegal goods smuggled in from South Korea. And reportedly the contraband they brought amounted to more than five containers, a figure that was quite fantastic for a contraband. Moreover, the contents of the containers were not just drugs, but drugs, but they also found canned goods that allegedly came from a factory owned by one of the ministers who served in the government of president Park Boyoung. Therefore the president called Haejun and several other state officials to
get together and talk about the problem of state losses that are very much related to the smuggling case.
“Hae, how is your investigation regarding Daewon company? Isn't the company related to Saegu company which is a company owned by minister Nam Yulwon?” general Lee asked his son. Haejun nodded his head as he put his lips closer to the father's ear so that no one would hear his private conversation with the father, because it was an important thing that no one should know.
“The Daewon Company uses the services of a company owned by minister Nam Yulwon who is engaged in insurance. And as far as I know Daewon companies get cheaper insurance prices, about forty-three percent cheaper than other companies. If you're as thoughtful as me, isn't that so awkward? Such a big cut would not be possible to give Nam Yulwon for free considering he was a greedy minister. Even during his tenure as minister, some companies in Korea such as forced to use his insurance services, until some small insurance companies experienced
bankruptcies. We should investigate that cunning minister further. I think the smuggling of canned food as many as two containers in Chinese ports is also one of his efforts to boost profits that have never been sniffed by customs officers because he may have bribed the officers that customs or he deliberately used his power to control those officers.” Obviously Haejun was fiery.
“Lee Taehyung, long time no see, how are you doing now?”
A middle-aged man with a manly stature had just walked out of the president's room and immediately embraced Mr. Lee enthusiastically. Mr. Lee who was warmly welcomed by his old friend, Kim Junwo, immediately returned the hug no less warm as he patted the back of his best friend full of longing. They used to be colleagues at training camps, but after they graduated, Kim Junwo decided to pursue a career in politics, while Mr. Lee chose to continue his training as state intel, so they never met again for a long time. Only occasionally when Mr. Lee was being asked, Mr. Lee met Kim Yunwo and they would greet each other and ask each other for news.
“Oh Junwo-ah, I'm very good. I thought you had turned into a very handsome ahjussi now.” Lord Lee's tease on his best friend while chuckling. Lee Haejun who was next to his father immediately bowed respectfully to his father's best friend with a small smile. Honestly, he didn't like it very much
his father's best friend this one because he always betrothed him with his spoiled and childish daughter.
“Oh Lee Haejun, how are you, long time no see. Now you look more and more dashing like your father. I heard your reputation is very good among state intel. You will definitely become a great general someday.” said Kim Junwo sounds excessive. He responded to his father's best friend's speech with a thin smile without interest, it seems that he is very lazy to engage in conversation with his father's noisy friend.
“But Taehyung-ah, does your handsome son already have a lover? I saw all this time he was always alone and never seen in contact with a woman, do you not want to immediately have a granddaughter of your handsome son?”
Mr. Lee glanced at the face of his son at a glance who was beginning to look annoyed with his over-talking best friend. He knows that Haejun does not like his best friend who always tries to match him with his daughter. But he also could not prevent Kim Junwo from doing so because in fact the news of his son's marriage to his son-in-law was never announced. Even until they have a four-year-old child, their relationship is still closed from the public. When they would announce it, he was just trying to pray for the best for his son.
“It seems my son still wants to enjoy his bachelorhood to learn to be a good general in the future, so I can't force him to get married soon.”
“Ahh.. It's a pity, even though your son is very handsome, there must be many women out there who want to be with your son. And honestly, I'd really like to have a daughter-in-law like your son. Because I can't hand my daughter over to a random man. Taehyung-ah, can't you persuade your son to at least know my daughter first, he just finished his studies in Australia, and now he's looking for a man to be his best friend. Don't you want to get a message with me?”
“Ehem.”
Suddenly Lee Haejun interrupted the conversation of the two middle-aged men with his harsh demeanor. The father who was dead fleas with his best friend immediately smiled with relief when his son came and became his savior from his friend who was too noisy. After all, he already wanted nothing now, because he already had a beautiful daughter-in-law and a cute grandson, then what was lacking? Maybe he just needs peace at his age who is not young anymore.
“Sorry to interrupt your conversation uncle, but I have to go in immediately to meet President Park, so once again I apologize.”
Lee Haejun bent his body politely while giving a code to his father to immediately enter the meeting room because the president and other state officials had prepare to have a meeting.
“Junwo-ah maybe we can continue the conversation about this matchmaking when Haejun is ready. See you.” say goodbye to Mr. Lee on Kim Junwo while patting his best friend's shoulder slowly. Kim Junwo seemed dissatisfied with Lee Taehyung's reply and immediately left with various plans inside his head.
“Huh, I have to force that arrogant guy to meet Jaekyung. Whatever happens Jaekyung should be with him.” muttered Kim Junwo earnestly before stepping away from the presidential residence Park Boyoung.

Yuka arrives at the Woori bank's location when things get more precarious. According to one of the police officers, they heard several shots heard from inside the building. However they can't go inside because Yuka previously forbade them from doing anything, so that when Yuka comes they immediately storm Yuka and the other agents to immediately take action before the robbers kill innocent people in there.
“Senior, what should we do?” ask Sehun sparingly. Yuka tried to think through her strategy as quickly as possible while scanning the towering Woori bank building.
“Sehun and Minzi, you enter through the back door. Take as many hostages as possible to get out of the Woori bank as much as you can. Me, Lay, and Yeri will enter through the front door to negotiate, as much as possible do gently so that there is no need for a firefight, do you understand?”
“Yes, we understand senior.”
“Then do your respective tasks now. And for the police teammates, please don't do anything until I order you to attack, congratulations on duty.”
Yuka and her team immediately move inside the Woori bank building with weapons clasped in each other's palms. Carefully Yuka stepped in past the bank courtyard while yelling through the toa if she was going to go inside.
Dorr!
Suddenly the sound of a gun eruption is heard from inside followed by the sound of one of the robbers yelling at Yuka, Lay, and Yeri to drop their weapons.
“Drop your weapons and raise your hands above.”
Yuka, Lay, Yeri followed the request of the robbers by raising their hands up and slowly bending over to place their pistols on the floor. The robbers then observe Yuka, Lay, and Yeri in silence before allowing them to enter the bank building, in order to negotiate.
“Bos I've brought the intel in.” reported the robber to a young man with short brown hair. Yuka who was not far from the short man who had previously told her to enter was curious about the face of the leader of the robber gang who had today robbed two banks at once.
“Minwo, keep an eye on all the hostages while I negotiate.” the robber leader orders in a cold voice.
Meanwhile, Yuka is using the time she has to observe the condition of the hostages one by one. As far as he could see, it seemed that the robbers had not done anything to the hostages because he did not see any wounds or blood splattered around the room he entered, but did not close
it is likely that after this the robbers will act recklessly if his wishes are not fulfilled.
“So what do you want, I'm here trying to negotiate with you.”
“You, release the hostages, I promise to grant one of your requests if you do.” Yuka said loudly. The robber leader smirked cunningly at Yuka while staring happily at the pile of sacks containing Korean people's money that he managed to loot.
“My wish is to have all that money and be free from punishment, can you give it to me?”
“Huh.”
Yuka smirked lightly at the request of the robber boss. It was expected that the robber would ask for more and would not be satisfied with just one request.
“You obviously can only get one request, so I can't give him two at a time.”
Yuka was still trying to negotiate while Sehun and Minzi were taking out some people they could reach out to get out the back door.
“Sehun, get the old woman out and also the pregnant woman there first, after that we will take out the remaining women as well as men when senior Im manages to negotiate with the robber.” whispered Minzi quietly as he walked slack towards the crowd of hostages who were not too closely guarded by one of the robbers.
“Ssttt.”
Minzi whispered softly to a young woman who was pregnant while gesturing to follow her out. While Sehun who was not far from his place also did the same thing to remove the grandfather and halmeoni pair who looked pale because they were so shocked by the robbery that they had just experienced the first time.
“Tttuan.. will we be safe?” halmeoni asked. Sehun tried to calm them down and lead them carefully towards the back door.
They continued to bring out the people they could reach one by one until now they had managed to disperse eleven people. There's still a lot of hostages in there that they have to get out of there, but it will certainly not be easy after this because the robbers will be suspicious of the reduction in the number of hostages that look so striking inside the bank building.
“Minzi, we have to set up a strategy so that this rescue is not known to the robbers, but obviously it will endanger senior Im, Lay, and also Yeri who is still trying to negotiate with the robber boss. What do you think we should do? I'm not sure if the rescue attempt this time there will be no shootout.”
Bugh!
Sehun suddenly staggered forward with blood starting to drip from his head. Sontak Minzi immediately looked back and found two members of the robber gang who were sneering at them. Minzi also tried to fight them by kicking and hitting their stomachs in accordance with the martial techniques he had learned. While Sehun who was still slumped on the floor looked groaned several times because he felt his back head pulsating, but he had to stand up immediately to help Minzi.
Bugh Bugh
“Ahhhhh.”
Minzi slammed onto the floor hard enough to make his back hurt. But the tough woman immediately got up and came back against the robber with all the power she had.
“Jinsu, tell the boss if the intel is betrayed, they have released hostages without our knowledge, I will take care of this woman first.”
Jinsu immediately ran away leaving his partner who was trying to overthrow Minzi. Seeing that, Sehun did not stay still, he deliberately stuck out his leg and made the robbers fall with a loud bang on the floor.
“Busty, how dare you!”
“Damn it!”
Bugh
Sehun threw his punch on the jaw of the robber until the robber bounced slightly backwards. But again the throbbing feeling whack his head until it almost fell down on its own even though the robber did not give a blow to him.
Bugh Dug!
Sehun fell on the floor in a terrible condition. Fresh blood came out from his nose and head and splattered on the floor. Seeing Sehun who looked tired, the robber was about to finish his fight by stepping on Sehun's chest and making Sehun die out of breath. But Sehun swiftly pulled his gun out of his pants pocket, and without much thought he immediately pulled the trigger to eliminate one of the robbers who had injured him.
Dorr dorr
Sehun shoots two robbers at once until they fall lifelessly on the floor. Minzi, who saw the two robbers dead, quickly ran inside because he was worried that the robbers had attacked after they heard gunfire from the back of the building.
“Minzi, take them!”
Minzi saw Yuka and the others trying to subvert the robber with their bare hands. The pistols they were carrying had been left in front of the entrance, so they could not finish off the robbers in a single shot.
Minzipun immediately rushed to pull anyone who was not far from where he stood. But just as he was about to take the men away, he heard the sound of warning shots echoing very loudly in the room. Minzi halted his steps and decided to turn around. Apparently the one who had fired the warning shot was the robber boss. He is currently holding Yuka hostage with the tip of the gun pointed at Yuka's left temple.
“How dare you step out, then this beautiful woman will end horribly with the contents of her head unraveled. Quickly bring them all here.”
Minzi gulped his saliva nervously as he looked at Yuka's face which continued to signal to take the hostages out. But Minzi wouldn't have done that because his senior's life was in danger.
“Quick get out of here, don't mind me. I can handle it.” shouted Yuka riled at Minzi who was just pecking on the spot without doing anything. Minzi then turned to his right and left to ask his other colleague for help. But unfortunately they are still busy with other robbers who are quite troublesome for them.
“Alright, I'll return them, but let senior Im now.”
Yuka growled softly with Minzi's unwise decision. The safety of civilians is much more important than their own. Besides, he wouldn't let him die silly at the hands of that crazy robber. He still wants to live to solve his father's death and he still wants to build a happy family with Haejun. So there was no reason for him to die now.
“Bring them back to the middle of the room and I'll release your beautiful senior.”
Seeing the robber who was slightly off guard, Yuka immediately used the opportunity to elbow the robber's stomach and beat the man's face with her hard head. Instantly the robber staggered back while wiping the fresh blood flowing through his nostrils.
“Minzi, take them away!” yuka shouted at Minzi who was directly obeyed by the woman. Yuka then turns to the robber to finish their unfinished fight.
“You, you won't be able to get out of here alive.”
The robber immediately attacked Yuka and slashed a punch at some parts of Yuka's body, however, Yuka managed to avoid it by dodging to the left and punching the man in the abdomen.
Bughh
Brakkk
The robber slumped backwards until he hit the white pillar behind him. But the robber still had not given up and he started to pull the gun out of his pants pocket.
“Hahaha, you won't win against me, you don't have this gun, sweet.”
Dugh
Suddenly Yuka ran over the robber and pounded the gun he was carrying until it was thrown a few meters from where he was standing. Seeing that, Yuka immediately ran to get the gun so that she could knock out the robber as soon as possible. But it seems this time Yuka lost swiftly from the robber
because the robber managed to pull Yuka's hair until Yuka bearded in shock with a painful scalp.
“Ah... Remove my hair!”
“Hahaha, you won't go anywhere and take that gun because I'm going to tear you down with my bare hands.”
Dughh dughh
Yuka got a punch on the back and also the face until the tip of her lips was torn. Yukapun reply to the robber by elbowing his stomach behind his body, but the robber had managed to change Yuka's body movements, so he immediately evaded and actually managed to twist Yuka's hand backwards.
“You will die in my hand.”
“Job! Release my hand or my friends will finish you off!”
The robber laughed loudly while pointing Yuka at Lay and Yeri who were still trying to fight the robber. The two of them look so tired when fighting the robbers, while Minzi is still trying to take out one by one the hostages who are still in the building.
“Look at your exhausted friends. Soon they will surely have the same fate as you.”
Yuka growled in annoyance while trying to rack her brains to take down the damn robber who managed to lock his hands backwards. After getting the idea, Yuka appears to grin a little and immediately stomps on the robber's feet tightly until the robber reflexively releases the grip of his hand from Yuka and complains in pain due to Yuka's fierce stomping.
“Thank you!” yuka shouted while pointing a gun at the robber. The robber sneakyly pricks Yuka and slaps her finger hard.
Tak
Dorr
“Ahh..”.
“Senior!!”
Yeri shouted in surprise and directly beat the robber who was in front of her blindly because he had shot Yuka. While Lay had managed to drop the robber and was about to approach Yuka who was moaning in pain holding her arm that had just been shot by one of the robbers who had previously faced Minzi. The gun he had taken from the hands of the robber again fell on the floor and was picked up by the robber easily.
“Look, you and your men have lost. Soon you will die and rot in hell with your useless men.”
Yuka looked fiercely at the arrogant robber who stood looming in front of her. The man pointed a gun at him and at the slightest bit he moved, then the hot lead would shoot towards him and pierce his head smoothly. He saw Yeri and Lay who were standing still without daring to
taking action because they are afraid of endangering themselves. While the other robbers have been successfully paralyzed, but Lay has not dared to subdue him.
“I will let you live as long as you free me and let me go along with my other men.” said the robber gave conditions. Yuka stared cynically at the robber and was clearly not going to give the man a chance to escape with his other men. Yuka also began to take into account the attacks that she would direct on the sneaky robbers who were currently standing looming in front of her. And he also has to make sure if his attack will not be shot in one attack.
“You know, until anytime I will give you nothing, not even my life though.”
Dukes
Tak
Dorr
“Renlight or I'll shoot you.”
Yuka smiled cunningly after she managed to kick the robber's toe and took the gun that the robber dropped on the floor. Now the robber was staring hatefully at him who managed to take his gun and turn things around. He believes his chance to get out of the bank will never happen.
“You quickly enter and take these robbers, they are already disabled!” yuka shouted at the walkie talkie she held. Before long dozens of police entered the bank and immediately snatched the herd of robbers easily. One of the policemen approaches Yuka and offers help to take Yuka to the hospital due to her injured arm. However Yuka rejected him subtly as she had to make sure of her other juniors before deciding to go to the hospital.
“I'll find my other agents first.”
“Senior Im, are you okay?”
Yeri ran with breath gasping while holding Yuka's shoulder with concern. Yuka who saw that instantly calmed Yeri down because she was really okay, her arm was only slightly scratched by the hot lead, so she felt that there was nothing to worry about.
“Senior let's go to the hospital now, Lay has brought Sehun to the hospital in advance because Sehun was unconscious.” Yeri said as she led Yuka out of the bank building. Yuka halted her steps while frowning in ignorance at Yeri. He thought Sehun and Minzi were waiting outside because they had managed to get some of the hostages taken captive by the bandits.
“What's with Sehun?”
“The robbers beat Sehun and hit Sehun's head hard until Sehun finally had severe bleeding.” said Yeri sadly.
“We must immediately see the situation.” said Yuka firmly while pulling Yeri's hand quickly. Not caring about his arm being injured as well, the ones on his mind right now were only Sehun and Sehun. If something bad happened to Sehun, he would obviously not forgive himself.
