Chapter 106: All or Nothing
In South Korea, the Uisong Society is an extremely mysterious organization headquartered in the Naegok-dong area of Seoul. However, even Koreans who were born and raised in the Naegok-dong area of Seoul may have never heard of the Uisong Society for the rest of their lives.
During the war, the Yoshimatsukai was widely supported for its desperate resistance to foreign invaders. However, after the end of the war, it disappeared and was never found again.
In fact, instead of disappearing, Yoshimatsu will grow into a behemoth, an invisible behemoth. To this day, it has a significant impact on South Korea's political trends, economic development, and social stability. It can be said that Yoshimatsu will be everywhere in Korea, but ordinary people are unaware of its existence.
Although it is not an overt branch of state power, it is cloaked in all kinds of legitimacy and in fact performs almost the same functions as some of the branches of power. Therefore, Yoshimatsu will be an invisible hand of the state.
The organizational structure of the Righteous Pine Society is basically modeled after the setting up of the U.S. S.H.I.E.L.D. agency. In terms of functions, it is also similar to the S.H.I.E.L.D. agency, which is mainly responsible for collecting important intelligence at home and abroad, and carrying out activities related to national security and espionage operations. Of course, unlike S.H.I.E.L.D., Yoshimatsu has always been hidden in the shadows.
According to a media outlet's investigation that has been followed for several years, Yoshimatsu currently has dozens of intelligence stations overseas, and tens of thousands of secret agents are active overseas.
In the conference room of the headquarters building of the Yisong Society, a middle-aged man was being reprimanded with his head down, and there was still a clear palm print on one side of his face. The swollen and deformed corners of the mouth were also stained with blood.
Sitting in the first seat was a gray-haired woman about sixty years old. A pair of slender eyes, with a look of murderous intent from time to time.
She was using her left hand to help her right wrist move. It seems that the beating just now is a little sour.
This woman is none other than Park Kim Kyo, the current president of the Uisong Association. Her well-maintained hands, which have been spotted with age spots, have executed more than a dozen renegade agents. So, even if you sprinkle it with top-quality French perfumes, it still seems to smell bloody.
It is said that she has a hobby, that is, when interrogating people, she likes to tie a few wolf dogs at the scene. After asking a question, if the interrogated person does not answer, or if the answer is not satisfactory, she cuts off a piece of meat from the interrogated person's leg and feeds it to the dog.
When one dog eats the meat and the others don't, the other dogs bark wildly, appearing impatient. The sound of a dog barking and the screaming of a human are mixed together, and it has an extraordinary deterrent effect.
However, this will make Park Jinjoo inexplicably excited. To this day, the interrogators she has never lasted more than ten minutes.
At this time, the four vice presidents sitting next to her were all silent. In particular, the vice president in charge of overseas affairs was already covered with cold sweat on his forehead, but he did not move and did not dare to wipe it.
The middle-aged man standing was none other than his subordinate. Although he was beaten like a pig's head, he didn't dare to defend this subordinate for half a sentence.
This operation to seize the treasure map near the Central Gong in New York can be said to be a fiasco for the Yoshimatsukai. From the leader of the action team to more than a dozen team members, the whole army was wiped out. Even Han Junji, a disciple of the Arrow God, although he seriously injured his opponent, he returned in vain, and he himself was seriously injured.
The failure of this operation made Park Jinqiao very angry. This was the only defeat she had suffered since she led the Righteous Songs.
Park Jinqiao seemed to be a little thirsty, she just raised her hand to get the teacup on the table, and a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears sitting on the right hand side had already picked up the teacup and sent it to her.
She took it with a blank face, took a few sips, and then drank it all. Then, she slammed the delicate celadon teacup on the head of the middle-aged man standing opposite, and shouted and scolded, "Get out." ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he secretly glanced at his boss sitting next to the woman, and then fled in a hurry like a mouse whose tail had been bitten off by a cat.
"The failure of this operation is a great shame for our Yoshimatsukai. Park Jin-kyo said with a gloomy face, "We must find a way to get the treasure map, reclaim the treasures that belong to our Republic of Korea, and restore the glory of the Uisong Society." Jae-seok, what do you think?"
The middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears who handed over the teacup just now heard this, and his heart was full of joy. As for Li Yinrong, the vice president in charge of overseas affairs, he has long been displeased, and now that there is an opportunity to suppress him, he will naturally not let it go.
He coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said, "President, I think that the top priority is to take remedial measures and retrieve the treasure map at any cost. ”
"The failure of this overseas operation shows that we have serious deficiencies in the command and management of operations, and we must deeply reflect on them. There is a saying in China that it is not too late to make amends. We still have a chance. ”
This fat man named Kim Jae-seok is obviously also a good person. He first talked about retrieving the treasure map, which is what Park Jinjoo is most anxious about at the moment. Then, he criticized the unfavorable command and attacked Li Yinrong. In the end, he said that there is still a chance, which is intended to show that he is dedicated to the public, and he is by no means targeting Li Yinrong. In addition, it will also prompt Park Jinjoo to continue to ask how to seize the opportunity.
Sure enough, Park Jinjo asked again: "Then you see, how are we going to seize the opportunity next?"
"Now, although the Japanese Black Dragon Society has obtained both the treasure map and the negatives, they have not yet been sent back to Japan. Intelligence shows that the focus of the Japanese escort this time is the treasure map. And the negatives, obviously, mean little to the Japanese, and this is the opportunity for us to start. ”
Kim Jae-seok glanced at Park Jin-kyo, saw her nodding, and continued: "I have received reliable information that the day after tomorrow there will be a delegation of Japanese financial companies to visit New York, and the person who went to get the negatives was among them. “
"Reliable information? I think it's a trick. The intelligence agency of the Black Dragon Society, it is not that there are no agents in New York, so why do you want to go to the extra mile and directly let the local agents send them back to Japan for a short time. Li Yinrong, who was sitting on the side, said with some disdain.
When Jin Jae-seok heard this, he didn't seem to be angry, and said with a smile: "Vice President Li doesn't know that the one who seized the negative this time is said to be a sleeper agent of the Black Dragon Society, which has a very high level of secrecy. ”
"In New York, no one has ever seen her, except for Ichiro Chiba, who participated in the operation this time. Only very tricky actions will be activated by the Japanese Black Dragon Society. In previous operations, the information obtained through her was also sent from Japan, trying to eliminate any risk of exposing the agent. ”
"Then why did you let Chiba Ichiro contact her before?" asked Li Yinrong with some reluctance.
Park Jinqiao saw the fight between the two subordinates, and did not say anything to stop it. Because, the questions that Li Yinrong is asking now are also what she wants to know.
"It is said that there is a connection between the two teachers. Chiba Ichiro is a full-time agent of the Japanese Black Dragon Society, and this person is said to have only participated in the Black Dragon Society's operations on the orders of his master. Before joining, she knew Ichiro Chiba. In addition, when this person first arrived in New York, he asked Chiba Ichiro to help arrange some things. Kim Jae-seok explained.
When Li Yinrong heard this, he finally closed his mouth. He was secretly scolding in his heart, how could this dead fat man be so lucky and actually obtained such information.
Seeing this, Park Jinqiao said, "Zai Seok, then you will be responsible for the next action." What do you ask for?"
When Kim Jae-seok heard this, he was ecstatic in his heart, and he, the vice president in charge of general affairs, had always been inferior among several vice presidents. Now, there's finally a chance to come out.
In fact, he has been preparing for this day for eight years. For the past eight years, with the resources at his disposal, he has been secretly developing his dark line. Moreover, because he has been suppressed for many years, it has also made him more patient and forbearing.
Now, the opportunity is in front of him, and he can't let it go. So, he hurriedly said, "I want to get someone out of the Isowei Island Prison." ”
"Who?" asked Park Jinjo.
She knew that Kim Jae-seok had not been idle all these years, and although she was cultivating her strength, it was not harmful to the Republic of Korea, so she also turned a blind eye.
In fact, Park Jinjo has always felt that competition among subordinates is a good thing, and only with competition can the ability of the Yisong Association be continuously improved.
"Jang Jae-won. Kim Jae-seok replied.
"What?" Li Yinrong and the other three vice presidents were shocked when they heard this.
This Jang Jae-won is an extremely difficult guy, and he can be said to be the top thief in South Korea.
Jang Jae-won once wandered around and stole the well-kept residences of the wealthy Korean businessmen. Later, he didn't find it enjoyable, and actually stole the Blue House, which made the top brass angry.
In the process of arresting, the higher-ups ordered Yoshimatsukai to join forces with the National Police Agency, and it took a lot of effort to take advantage of his lustful weakness to catch him.
"President, this person must not be released. The three of them objected at the same time, "Once released, it will be difficult to catch it again." ”
Park Kim Kyo ignored the three and continued to ask Kim Jae-seok, "Can you control him?"
Kim Jae-seok knows that success or failure is here, and Park Jin-kyo must be convinced. So, he explained seriously:
"President, do you remember when you arrested him at the house of a woman named Choo Tae-hee? This woman was pregnant at the time, and later gave birth to a lovely daughter for Jang Jae-won. ”
This woman is desperate for Jang Jae-won, and she takes her daughter to visit Jang Jae-won every month. That's why he was able to stay in prison all the time. Otherwise, it is estimated that he would have escaped a long time ago, what kind of prison can really hold a person like him for a long time. ”
Unfortunately, it was later found out that this daughter of his, had congenital heart disease. Three years ago, I helped her daughter find an organ donor and arrange for a heart transplant. Now, children are no different from normal people. ”
"Moreover, I also arranged a decent job for this woman. For the past three years, I have been visiting him in prison on holidays or his birthday. He said that his life is mine now. ”
Kim Jae-seok glanced at Park Kim Kyo, who had been listening attentively, and knew that he had succeeded in arousing her interest, so he went on to explain:
"I hope he can be my helper and become a full member of the Righteous Pine Society. President, you know that Jang Jae-won only steals from the rich, never from the poor, and he will help the poor. Such a person is not a bad person in nature. I believe that he has a heart dedicated to the Republic of Korea, and we should give him a chance. ”
"What else will he do besides stealing?" Li Yinrong sneered, "When will our Yisong Society start taking in thieves, it's ridiculous!"
"Vice President Li, you can't say that. Our main goal is to obtain information, and there are many ways to obtain information, whether it can be snatched by fighting and killing, or it can be taken quietly, isn't it?
After refuting Lee In-yong, he got up from his chair, knelt down next to Park Jin-kyo with a "plop", and said, "President, I will guarantee my life, if Jang Jae-won runs away, I will commit suicide and apologize." If I can't get the treasure map back this time, I'll send Jang Jae-won back to prison, and then I'll take the blame and resign. ”
Kim Jae-seok's words surprised several people present, but they didn't expect him to dare to gamble his life.
Park Jinqiao groaned for a moment and said, "Get up! I'll communicate between the National Police Agency and the Blue House, and you must make sure that it succeeds. ”
Then, she glanced at the three people beside her again, and said slowly: "This matter is related to the overall situation of the country, and you must fully cooperate with the work of Zai Shi." If I find someone who doesn't work hard and doesn't do their best, don't blame me for being unkind. A few wolf dogs in the backyard are now very hungry. ”
After saying that, she didn't wait for a few people to make a sound, she got up and walked out.
As soon as Li Yinrong and the three of them heard the wolf dog, their legs immediately became weak, and the thoughts that they wanted to make some small moves disappeared in an instant.
Outsiders don't know the details, but they have seen it with their own eyes, Park Jinqiao cut off the flesh on the two legs of a traitor and fed it to the wolf dog. The full eight minutes of ghost crying and wolf howling, to this day, still wake Li Yinrong from nightmares often.
Kim Jae-seok still smiled and confessed to the three of them before returning to his office.
He picked up the phone on his desk and dialed it. After the phone was connected, a woman's gentle voice came from the receiver.
Kim Jae-seok happily said to the man, "Brother and sister, you take a leave of absence, take Baohui, and we will go to pick up Yuan and go home in the afternoon." ”
Soon the voice of the woman on the other side crying with joy came from the earpiece, and this voice also infected Kim Jae-seok on the other end of the phone. He smiled, didn't say anything more, and hung up.
Kim Jae-seok reached out and tugged at the tie around his neck, walked to the window, and looked in the direction of the Isowei Island Prison in a daze.
