Chapter 131: Police Chief (2)
Lee Sung-hyun opened the door with his card key and let Ryu Min into the house.
A house befitting a congressman seemed utterly ordinary, just like any other home, but Ryu Min knew.
It was a home filled with precious memories of a man who had lost his family.
Please, have a seat.
As Ryu Min sat on the sofa, Lee Sung-hyun took a seat opposite him.
I never expected to see my savior again. You left as if we would never meet again.
I have a favor to ask of you, Congressman.
A favor?
Surprised, Lee Sung-hyun smiled and said,
Ah, this might be an opportunity to repay my savior. Tell me, what is it?
Ill get straight to the point. The police are nning to establish a counter-yer unit, right?
Yes.
Rmend me as themander of that unit.
What?
Lee Sung-hyun was taken aback.
Rmend me as themander?
He thought the request would be something simple like asking for money, but this was unexpected.
That made him curious.
Why? Why do you want to be themander? Is it for power?
A direct, unfiltered question from Lee Sung-hyun.
A sort of test.
If he has ulterior motives, hell show signs of nervousness here.
However, the man known as ck Scythe didnt even flinch.
That meant he had apletely different, solid reason.
So hes driven by belief, not personal greed?
While he pondered this, Ryu Min spoke.
Power, huh? Thats not bad either.
Huh?
Lee Sung-hyun was taken aback by the unexpected answer, but Ryu Min hadnt finished speaking yet.
But more than that, its my personal desire that makes me want the position.
Personal desire?
Ryu Min paused, building the atmosphere.
Perhaps for the same reason you proposed thew, Congressman Lee?
I too despise criminal yers. I wont say why. It would only make the mood gloomy.
Looking down as if harboring a sad story, Lee Sung-hyun realized.
The reason ck Scythe had readily saved him.
Whatever it is, he hates criminal yers just like me. Thats why he didnt ept anypensation. He was satisfied with just dealing with the criminals!
Now he somewhat understood ck Scythes actions.
Can you consider it?
Hmm I can rmend you but dont get your hopes up. The authority to select the unit members lies with the Police Chief, so
You mean I could be rejected?
Thats right. Still, Ill do my best to advocate for you. You saved me, and youre a famous figure among yers, so youre more than qualified to be themander. But theres no guarantee. If the Police Chief, insists on forming the unit with only police officers, ignoring the yers skill, I cant do much
Thats enough for me. If you officially rmended me, and the Police Chief epts the rmendation and appoints me as themander, that would be enough for me.
But, what if the Police Chief rejects you?
Then, it cant be helped. But please, make sure to rmend me.
Alright, Ill do what I can.
Ryu Min seemed to have finished his business and stood up.
Leaving already? At least have a cup of tea
No. Its not right to stay long in someone elses home. Ill see you again. Ah.
As Ryu Min turned to leave, he seemed to remember something and turned back.
Just one thing, please.
Whats that?
Is the Police Chief a man or a woman?
* * *
Among the highest ranks in the police force is the National Police Agency Commissioner.
There are only two in South Korea: the Police Chief and the Coast Guard Chief.
One of them, Police Chief Lee Cheong-ryong, threw documents on his desk with a sigh.
Sigh, damn Congressmen. Drafting such pointlessws to annoy other people. Tch.
What he threw was thew proposed by Lee Sung-hyun for the establishment of a counter-yer unit.
Thisw, which involves drafting police yers under the age of 29, had already received approval from the President and, himself, the Police Chief.
But that was just to appease public opinion.
Lee Cheong-ryongs true feelings were filled with negative opinions.
Aw for immediate execution in 21st-century South Korea? Does that make any sense?
Thew allows for the immediate execution of criminal yers in emergency situations involving civilians lives, effectively exempting them from punishment for killing.
In a country where the death penalty has been abolished, such aw is absurd.
Who in their right mind would propose such aw? Ignoring judicial procedures and killing people is murder, right? Tch!
Thats not the only absurd part.
Gathering police yers under 29 to form a counter-yer unit? Most under 29 are junior officers. How do they n to catch yer criminals that even veteran detectives struggle with, with these greenhorns?
Its likely to be aughingstock among the senior detective ranks.
Comints about juniors getting promoted might arise.
This is a total disaster. Aplete waste of time.
And who would they pick as themander of such a unit?
Theyre all rookies with no experience in catching a single criminal.
Sigh.
As he sighed,
Choose me.
The voice out of thin air startled Lee Cheong-ryong.
Ah, f*ck! What the?!
Turning his head, where there was just a wall, a person appeared.
A tanned man was looking at him.
A yer!
Such impossible abilities belong only to yers.
Lee Cheong-ryong reached for his security gun but was thwarted when the man swiftly approached and disarmed him.
Come on, dont overreact. Its not a death sentence to sneak into the Police Chiefs office, right?
You, what kind of monster How dare youe here?!
Monster? Thats harsh for aw-abiding citizen.
What are you? What do you want?!
Shouting for help wont do you any good. Ive already taken care of everything outside.
What?
Click-
The door to the Police Chiefs office opened, and a woman entered.
Yamti. Is everything taken care of?
Yes. Everything that happened here has been dealt with as if it never happened.
What are you nning to do? Dont tell me
Ah, Chief. Youre thinking of torture, but do you really think wed do something so inhumane?
Then what?
Just a few orders that need to be carried out. Yamti.
As Yamti stepped forward, the Police Chiefs pupils swirled with pink.
Looking into her eyes was the end of it.
Falling under her charm was instantaneous.
Yamti, convey my words exactly to the Police Chief.
Understood, Master.
Make sure the counter-yer unit is established and operational as soon as possible. And
Ryu Min grinned.
Appoint ck Scythe as themander of the counter-yer unit.
