Chapter 442:

There was no clear evidence, but all the circumstances pointed to Jo Hee-deok as the culprit.

Yoo-hyun’s statement had more weight because of that.

It was a situation that would make anyone flustered, but Jo Hee-deok was rather calm.

He even showed some leisure by chuckling and stroking his stubbly chin.

“Wow, you guys are really something. Did you plan this from the start?”

Did he have some backup?

Judging by the fact that he had a bodyguard with him, he must have had some power.

Yoo-hyun ignored Jo Hee-deok and pulled out his next card.

“Inspector, and also...”

That’s when the landline phone on the table rang.

Ring.

“Excuse me.”

Inspector Ju Ik-hyun raised his palm to stop Yoo-hyun’s words and answered the phone.

“Yes. This is Inspector Ju Ik-hyun from Gwanghwamun Police Station. Yes, yes. Yes? Oh, Chief. Are you talking about Mr. Jo Hee-deok? Yes. That’s right.”

As Inspector Ju Ik-hyun’s head lowered in response, Yoo-hyun’s brow furrowed.

As if he had expected it, Jo Hee-deok shrugged his shoulders and whispered.

“You can’t beat me.”

“...”

While Yoo-hyun was silently facing Jo Hee-deok, Inspector Ju Ik-hyun made his last remark.

“Yes. I understand. I’ll be careful. Yes. Chief. Please take care.”

He hung up the phone and looked very troubled.

From his words, Yoo-hyun’s uneasy hunch was confirmed.

“Let’s review the situation again. There are some points that need to be clarified since we don’t have any solid evidence.”

“What are you doing? The case is over if you watch the video and listen to the recording.”

Chief Shin Kwang-se intervened, but Inspector Ju Ik-hyun ignored him and flipped through the documents.

Flip.

“See, this is what happens when you don’t do your job properly. You should have done this earlier.”ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

Jo Hee-deok smiled like a winner and straightened his clothes.

He had to act faster than he expected.

He needed a way to finish him off in one shot, not to drag out the time.

What should he do?

Yoo-hyun turned his head and looked at Director Jung Woo-hyuk.

He still looked calm, so it was clear that his backup was higher up.

He needed to tie up Jo Hee-deok more tightly, not only to use his strong shield for defense, but also for offense.

“How dare you push me without any evidence?”

Jo Hee-deok’s words prompted Yoo-hyun to lure him out more.

“No evidence? The person who was beaten is right here, what more do you want? You said you could bribe the police with money, is that why?”

“Huh. You’re making up nonsense again. Inspector Ju, what are you doing? Arrest these bastards.”

Jo Hee-deok snapped, and Inspector Ju Ik-hyun gestured awkwardly.

“Mr. Jo Hee-deok, please sit down.”

“Inspector, don’t back down. Anyone can see that he’s wrong.”

“Mr. Han Yoo-hyun, calm down.”

In the awkward situation, Inspector Ju Ik-hyun put his hand on his forehead.

That’s when it happened.

A deep bass voice echoed in the interrogation room.

“The police are pathetic.”

Thud.

Inspector Ju Ik-hyun was startled and bowed to the door.

“Chief, hello.”

The police officers in the interrogation room all stood up and greeted him.

“Hello.”

The police chief walked in with his hand raised, responding to the wave of greetings.

He was one of the most powerful positions in the police force, the chief of Jongno Police Station.

The four mugunghwa badges on his shoulder showed his authority.

“You’re here. Tell the chief the truth.”

Jo Hee-deok took the initiative and acted calm.

Inspector Ju Ik-hyun quickly scanned the police chief and Director Jung Woo-hyuk.

It didn’t take long for him to confirm his suspicion with evidence.

The time it took for his judgment to turn into action was even shorter.

“Hey, you scammer. Sit down.”

Inspector Ju Ik-hyun suddenly shouted, and Jo Hee-deok was confused.

“What? Inspector Ju, what’s wrong?”

“Stop talking nonsense. I’ll put you in the detention center right away.”

Some irrelevant words popped up in the process.

Admission?

Yoo-hyun was dumbfounded, but he thanked him first.

“I didn’t do anything big, but thank you for your concern.”

“You’re very humble, patient.”

“No, I’m not. But what about the diagnosis?”

And he pinpointed the necessary part.

He needed a medical certificate to prove the assault charge against Jo Hee-deok.

The doctor looked at the items listed on the monitor screen again and answered.

“Overall, it looks like it will take three weeks to heal.”

“I see.”

He didn’t show it, but it wasn’t a bad result.

There was only a slight bruise on the outside.

It was thanks to Kwon Sung-eun’s strong words that it worked.

Having gained an advantage, Yoo-hyun cautiously put his heart on the table.

“What if I don’t get admitted?”

“You may not feel any pain right now, but it will be severe when you wake up. You need to be admitted to rest.”

He would have refused the doctor’s recommendation if it was just that.

This level of pain was nothing compared to when he blocked Lee Jang-woo’s fist with his meat.

But Kwon Sung-eun’s words kept Yoo-hyun from leaving.

“Mr. Han, it will be a headache if the other side hires a lawyer. The insurance company will also check your admission status.”

“So if they think my condition is minor, they might let the scammers go?”

Kwon Sung-eun nodded at Yoo-hyun’s question.

“Yes. That’s right.”

He didn’t need to think any further when he heard the answer.

There was only one thing Yoo-hyun could do.

“My neck hurts a lot. I’ll be admitted.”

Yoo-hyun nodded his head and grabbed his neck.

“Yes. I’ll take you there.”

Kwon Sung-eun got up and supported Yoo-hyun.

Sometimes, you get caught up in something unintentional and don’t even know where you’re going.

That was exactly the case for Yoo-hyun, who was lying in a single room ward.

He was wearing a neck brace and getting an IV.

Of course, he kept this a secret.

He didn’t want to worry his surroundings for nothing.

He also wanted to sort out his thoughts quietly.

That didn’t mean he didn’t care about the situation inside the police station.

Beep.

-Jo Hee-deok is waiting for his lawyer in the detention center. I checked and it seems that Jeong Da-hye’s name came up twice during his statement. Nothing special though.

He got the message from Kwon Sung-eun that he had been waiting for.

He quickly scanned the content and replied.

-Thank you for your attention. I’ll ask you again if there’s any problem.

Thanks to the enthusiastic Kwon Sung-eun, Yoo-hyun was able to keep an eye on Jo Hee-deok’s situation from afar.

Jo Hee-deok’s detention was prolonged because Yoo-hyun sued him for assault.

He also added fraud charges, and eventually hired a lawyer.

He thought he wouldn’t be able to touch Jeong Da-hye for a while.

It bothered him that Jeong Da-hye’s name came up during his statement, but he couldn’t completely block that.

He was thinking about this and that when it happened.

Creak.

The door of the ward opened and Shin Nyeong-wook, the executive director, appeared.

“Director.”

Yoo-hyun tried to get up, but he stopped him.

“Lie down. You don’t have to get up.”

“I’m fine.”

“Fine? I heard from Director Jung Woo-hyuk that you were pretty hurt.”

“If I was, I wouldn’t have just taken it. What’s that?”

Yoo-hyun got up and pointed to the big box that Shin Nyeong-wook brought.

Thump.

He put the box on the floor and shrugged his shoulders.

“I brought it because you said you were staying alone. No one will take care of you, right?”

The box was full of snacks, drinks, and necessities.

The most welcome thing was the new martial arts novel.
