Senior (Yudong) – Foxes Are a Bit…

* Senior (Yudong) – Foxes Are a Bit… (3)

The Baldy received that report on the night of the second day after Yudong was kidnapped. Thanks to the information that was fast if you considered it fast, and slow if you considered it slow, a rare display of anger was visible on the Baldy’s face.

“How was it?”

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

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

“They’re just subordinates. They probably thought that since they didn’t have any personal connection with you, hyung-nim, they’d just get cut off and it would be over. In this case, it was our mistake to send a subordinate to Kim Yudong to monitor him.”

“Kidnapping a civilian, it’s not like our feet are on fire!”

Inside the running vehicle, the Baldy slammed the floor with a *ku-ung!*, expressing his anger. The sunglasses he hadn’t worn in a while and his darkly revealed eyes were now loyal to his profession, unlike his usual gentle impression. Thanks to that, there was a commotion inside the vehicle, but he took a deep breath, took a peppermint candy out of his pocket, chewed it, and calmed his anger.

“Hyung-nim.”

“Tell me first if the maritime company and other companies have been in contact!”

“If there had been, I would have told you right away. I wasn’t exactly keeping an eye out while avoiding the guys we sent to the company side, but I don’t think that’s it…”

“Looks like she’s focused on finding the young master’s younger sibling that she was raising, huh?”

“Yes. She moved herself, and that woman’s underlings swept around the young master. But I don’t know why she bothered to kidnap Kim Yudong herself. Did she absolutely not want to let him go?”

“Tsk…”

The Baldy’s expression is getting worse and worse. Even while listening to his subordinates’ guesses, a bad feeling continued, as if he had his own thoughts.

“Hey, think about it.”

“?”

“When we’re working, there are times when I move myself, right? Why do you think I move myself then? Even leaving you guys behind.”

“If I’m being a little prideful, it’s because we’re not trustworthy, and if not, it’s because there’s something that can’t be entrusted to subordinates. Isn’t it usually the latter? The young master’s response too.”

“Yeah. But I’ve never thought of you as untrustworthy. But in her case, both of those examples apply. Unlike us, she has a social position, not a personal connection. But that crazy bitch kidnaps someone and doesn’t even trust her own subordinates, and she’s going to do something she doesn’t want to tell other people, and we don’t know what that is. No matter how I think about it, it doesn’t feel good.”

“Ah…”

“Those kinds of people are usually caught up in their own ideology. They’ll 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 noisy about these days?”

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

He scratches his feet on the floor, restless. He’s not finding stability for a baldy. Accordingly, the faces of the subordinates who were listening to the story with him also hardened. They thought they could avoid bloodshed even if there was a kidnapping, but it wasn’t going to be that way…

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

“No.”

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

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

“The guy who’s free, call or text the merchandise and the younger sibling and tell them not to come out of there today. If they ask why, make something up.”

He looks at the pier and the crane clusters visible beyond the window. The smell of the sea that gently flows through his nose is a familiar smell to them. There’s no better place than the sea to dispose of people. However, it’s not a good feeling to think that someone else is doing the disposing this time, not them.

“Do you think that bastard’s dead?”

“Watch your mouth.”

Knowing that, he turned his back 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. Hammer it into your heads that we have nothing to do with it and that he’s alive somewhere.”

“Yes…”

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

“I understand.”

Along with such ridiculous warnings, someone let out a snort. He recalled going to a bar together, saying, “He was a good dancer and funny.” But that atmosphere was only for a moment. Soon, the vehicle stopped, and they got out in order in front of the pier with “Haeun” written largely on it.

“Did hyung-nim call for us?”

“Did you think you could enter through the main gate?”

Seeing the sight of several vehicles lined up already, the situation isn’t normal. There are also a few people who appear to be police officers lined up, but it’s not noisy, and only people are quietly settling into the dark night sea. He turned aside, avoiding the commotion being made in the front, as the person in charge of this pier appeared to be being questioned along with them.

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

“I picked out some guys among my acquaintances who wanted to get some achievements. While they’re doing that in the front, we’re going to go inside. But, are you sure? The last place he was found was inside here?”

“Yes.”

When the vehicle driver gestured, two men who appeared to have been monitoring this place from morning until now appeared from the shade.

“Big hyung-nim.”

“Your younger brother greets you.”

“Forget the greetings, tell me where that crazy bitch went. We need to finish this here before things get bigger.”

Along with the subordinates taking the lead, the Baldy’s group crawled into the inside of the pier, following behind them. While the Baldy’s related underling police officers were causing a commotion in the front, they walked through the pier warehouse that Haeun was operating, and it wasn’t dark because orange lights were turned on here and there.

Quiet, subtle, and subtly good atmosphere.

A typical container pier that is introducing the latest equipment.

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

“This land is just being developed. It’s different from the places that Haeun is operating in earnest. The warehouses are also using old-fashioned 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 is completely rusted and reveals its brown exterior, has ropes hanging in the air for some reason, making it a typical abandoned warehouse. If you kick the warehouse with your foot, it will ring *duu-uung* and bugs will swarm out.

“This isn’t a place where a woman who would walk around the office *ttok-ttok* in long heels would come. A marble floor would suit her better than this shit-smelling place.”

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

“Who doesn’t know that? That damn bitch is doing something like an 80s movie. How presumptuous.”

“Aren’t we the same?”

“We’re residents in that movie, but they’re the audience. Don’t mistake that point. No matter how well we use and earn, the fact that we’re human vermin doesn’t change.”

“Those are bitter words.”

The subordinates laugh awkwardly, but the Baldy is still angry.

“A woman who has no shortage in her own life should just enjoy her married life quietly. Don’t you think it’s too much for her to dare to touch the area where we live?”

“Surely, she didn’t really kill him, did she? Still, he’s a civilian. What kind of grudge would she have against a man she met for the first time to do something so harsh?”

“Well… I…”

I don’t think so.

Without finishing those words, he quietly closed his mouth and hid in the corner. The subordinates also leaned their backs against the old warehouse and shifted their gaze accordingly. At the end of that alley, the figure of a woman who doesn’t fit in here was visible.

Jabbering, jabbering, jabbering.

It’s impressive how she’s holding her cell phone and shouting urgently as if she’s making a phone call, and then quickly running away with her followers. The appearance of the police at the pier entrance may have worked out well.

“Looks like there’s a separate way out over there.”

“Shall we chase after her?”

“No, search the warehouse first.”

After the women disappeared, they entered the warehouse where they came out with good timing. Perhaps because of what they said about the movie until just now, the subordinates’ actions become quick, along with the feeling that it really could happen today. In the meantime, they put a lock on the warehouse entrance, but they cut it in half with the equipment they had prepared in advance, and inside the warehouse they entered were full of familiar-looking rusty barrels.

“Uh, there’s no one here?”

“Isn’t he in another warehouse? There was one more nearby.”

“Smell it.”

“Huh?”

It was unpleasant because of the rusty barrels, broken equipment, and the smell of rust everywhere, but the women must have felt the same way, as the scent of perfume or deodorant that they sprayed was still there. It’s proof that those women were in this warehouse until just now.

“The smell is strong…”

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

At the same time as everyone realized that fact, a *deolkeodeong* sound was heard.

“?”

At first, I thought it was the bugs hiding in the warehouse moving as a group.

“Hey… this isn’t it…”

But only belatedly did everyone reach the same thought, and their gazes were focused on a certain barrel. That barrel is in the deepest part of this warehouse, and other barrels are stacked on top of it. I don’t know who said those words, but the words they would have said without others saying them would have been similar.

“What should I explain to the young master…?”

Along with the words the Baldy spat out, the men slowly gathered.

And what they saw was.
