Juyoung Hong (40)

In my house in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul, the next day.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

When I heard somebody knocking on the door, I told them to come in.

When the door opened, Director Sok appeared.

"What's going on?"

"I think you should know this."

"What?"

"There are rumors that the mansion of a guy named Chaesan Lee was robbed last night. Chaesan Lee is a big player in the private loan market and the tycoon of the underground economy that dominates Korea."

"Oh, really?"

"Yes. Of course, I hear the prosecutor's office or the police won't investigate the robbery because the victim didn't report it."

"Tut, tut, tut. He has to. He must be really devastated because he must have amassed lots of wealth until now."

"You bet. Actually, he was rumored to be the richest man in Korea unofficially. It looks like the robber has made a fortune."

"I think so."

"Okay, I will leave then, Juyoung."

"Take it easy."

I didn't tell him about what I did to Chaesan Lee, nor did he ask me anything.
