Chapter 138 – Senior (Yoo-Dong) – Foxes Are A Bit…

Senior (Yoo-dong) – Foxes are a bit… (3)

The bald man received the report on the night of the second day after Yoo-dong was kidnapped. The information, which was fast if you considered it fast, and slow if you considered it slow, caused a rare look of anger to appear on the bald man’s face.

“How was it?”

“The two-room they were staying in had food left untouched, and there were no signs of recent activity. The neighbors also said they hadn’t seen the two of them for a while. Instead, there were a few letters that seemed to be sent by the woman, and it seems they were also threatened with the same content as Kim Yoo-dong.”

“Are they idiots… If they had reported to me, I would have taken care of it…!!”

“They’re just low-level guys. They probably thought they’d be cut off and done with since they didn’t have any personal connection with you, boss. In this case, it was our mistake to send a low-level guy to monitor Kim Yoo-dong.”

“Kidnapping a civilian, it’s not like we’re in a crisis!”

The bald man slammed his fist on the floor of the moving vehicle, expressing his anger. The sunglasses he had taken off after a long time and his dark eyes were now focused on his job, unlike his usual gentle demeanor. This caused a commotion in the vehicle, but he took a deep breath, pulled out a peppermint candy from his pocket, and chewed on it to calm his anger.

“Boss.”

“Tell me first if there has been any contact between the shipping company and other companies!”

“If there had been, I would have told you right away. I did have guys outside, avoiding the eyes of those sent to the companies, but I don’t think that’s it…”

“It seems she’s focusing on finding the young master’s younger sibling, whom she raised herself?”

“Yes. She moved herself, and her lackeys swept around the young master. But I don’t know why she kidnapped Kim Yoo-dong herself. Did she absolutely not want to let him go?”

“Tsk…”

The bald man’s expression grew worse. Even as he listened to his subordinates’ guesses, he seemed to have his own thoughts, and an unpleasant feeling continued.

“Hey, think about it.”

“?”

“When we work, there are times when I move myself, right? Why do you think I move myself then? Leaving you guys behind.”

“If I’m being honest, it’s because we’re not trustworthy, or there’s something that can’t be left to subordinates. Usually, it’s the latter, right? Like when dealing with the young master.”

“Right. But I’ve never thought of you as untrustworthy. But she, in the example you just gave, it applies to both. Unlike us, she’s not connected by personal ties, but by social position. But that crazy bitch kidnaps someone and doesn’t trust her own subordinates, and she’s going to do something she doesn’t want to tell anyone else. We don’t know what that is. No matter how I think about it, I don’t have a good feeling.”

“Ah…”

“Those kinds of people are usually obsessed with their own ideology. They think of themselves as revolutionaries from old history books or philosophers who have awakened something on their own.”

“I think I know what you mean. Isn’t that what’s been in the news lately?”

“Yeah. If we leave it alone, things will get annoying…”

He scratched his feet on the floor, restless. He wasn’t finding his usual calm, which was unusual for the bald man. As a result, the expressions of the subordinates who were listening to the conversation also hardened. They thought they could avoid bloodshed even if there was a kidnapping, but it seemed that wasn’t the case…

“You haven’t told the young master about this, have you…?”

“No.”

“Where’s the younger sibling now? They should be with our guys and the merchandise.”

“Today, all of them are at the apartment where the young master is staying.”

“You, the one with nothing to do. Call or text the guys with the merchandise and the sibling and tell them not to leave there today. If they ask why, just make something up.”

He looked out the window at the docks and the piles of cranes. The smell of the sea, which gently flowed through his nose, was a familiar smell to them. There was no better place than the sea to dispose of people. However, it wasn’t a good feeling to think that someone else was doing the disposing this time, not them.

“Do you think that bastard is dead?”

“Watch your mouth.”

Knowing that, he turned around and warned the subordinates sitting in the back seat.

“He’s not dead. If he’s not seen for a few days, he’s missing. Keep in mind that it’s not related to us and that he’s alive somewhere.”

“Yes…”

“Don’t even mention it in front of the young master by mistake.”

“Understood.”

Along with that ridiculous warning, someone chuckled. He was remembering the time they went to a bar together, saying, “He was a good dancer and funny.” But that mood was only temporary. Soon, the vehicle stopped, and they got out one by one in front of the dock with “Shipping” written in large letters.

“Did you call for us, boss?”

“Did you think we could just walk in through the main gate?”

Looking at the line of vehicles already there, it was clear that the situation was not normal. There were also a few people who looked like police officers, but it wasn’t noisy, and only people were quietly descending into the dark night sea. The person who seemed to be in charge of this dock came out with them and was being questioned, so they turned aside to avoid the commotion in front.

“You did well, even though the madam didn’t tell you. Or has it already been reported?”

“I picked some guys from my acquaintances who wanted to get some results. While they’re making a fuss in front, we’ll go inside. But, are you sure? The last place they were found was inside here?”

“Yes.”

When the driver nodded, two men who seemed to have been monitoring this place since morning appeared from the shade.

“Big boss.”

“Your younger brother greets you.”

“Enough with the greetings, tell me where that crazy bitch went. We need to finish this here before it gets bigger.”

As the subordinates led the way, the bald man’s group followed them into the dock. While the bald man’s lackey police were causing a commotion in front, they walked through the shipping company’s dock warehouse. The orange lights were on here and there, so it wasn’t dark.

Quiet, subtle, and with a strangely good atmosphere.

It was a typical container dock that was in the process of introducing the latest facilities.

“There are still many places that haven’t been demolished.”

“This land is just being developed. It’s different from the places where the shipping company is fully operating. The warehouses are also old ones that were used a long time ago, so there are places that look like they’re about to collapse or are swarming with bugs.”

The warehouse, which was rusted and had its brown exterior exposed, had ropes hanging in the air for some reason. It was a typical abandoned warehouse. If you kicked the warehouse with your foot, it would make a loud thud, and bugs would swarm out.

“It’s not a place where a woman who walks around the office with her high heels would come. A marble floor would suit her better than this stinky place.”

“Even though Elder Yongshin is her husband, she knows this place well. It’s definitely a planned crime.”

“Who doesn’t know that? That damn bitch is acting like she’s in an old movie. How presumptuous.”

“Aren’t we the same?”

“We’re the residents of that movie, but she’s the audience. Don’t get that wrong. No matter how well we live and how much we earn, we’re still human vermin.”

“Those are harsh words.”

The subordinates laughed awkwardly, but the bald man was still angry.

“A woman who has everything in her life should just enjoy her married life. How dare she interfere in our territory? Don’t you think she’s too bold?”

“Surely, she didn’t really kill him, did she? He’s just a civilian. What kind of grudge would she have against a man she just met to do something so terrible?”

“I don’t know… I…”

He didn’t think so.

He didn’t finish his sentence and quietly closed his mouth, hiding in the corner. The subordinates also followed suit, leaning against the old warehouse and shifting their gaze. At the end of the path, they saw the figure of a woman who didn’t belong here.

Chatter, chatter, chatter.

She was on the phone, shouting urgently, and then she quickly ran away with her followers. It was impressive. The appearance of the police at the entrance of the dock may have worked in their favor.

“It seems there’s another way out over there.”

“Should we chase them?”

“No, search the warehouse first.”

After the women disappeared, they entered the warehouse where they had come out, just in time. Perhaps because they had been talking about movies earlier, the feeling that it was really like that today made the subordinates’ actions quick. In the meantime, they had locked the warehouse entrance, but they broke it in two with the equipment they had prepared in advance. Inside the warehouse were a lot of familiar-looking rusty barrels.

“Uh, there’s no one here?”

“Aren’t they in another warehouse? There was another one nearby.”

“Smell it.”

“Huh?”

The rusty barrels, broken equipment, and the smell of rust everywhere were unpleasant, but it seemed that the women felt the same way, as the scent of perfume or deodorizer remained. It was proof that the women had been in this warehouse until just now.

“The smell is strong…”

“It’s not a smell that would be in this kind of warehouse. It’s proof that they were here for a long time.”

As everyone realized that fact, a thudding sound was heard.

“?”

At first, they thought that the bugs hiding in the warehouse had moved in a group.

“Hey… this isn’t it…”

But belatedly, everyone reached the same conclusion, and their eyes were drawn to a certain barrel. That barrel was in the deepest part of the warehouse, and other barrels were stacked on top of it. They didn’t know who said it, but the words they spoke were similar even if they didn’t say it.

“What should we tell the young master…?”

With the words the bald man uttered, the men slowly gathered.

And what they saw was.
