Chapter 437: Season 2 Book 17 Advance and Defense – 5-6 Step on the Tail
December 6th, 2023 14:20,
Namju National Intelligence Service, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (Cyber Security Bureau Director’s Office).
When the long-awaited report came up, Director Cheok Hyuk-jun received the reports one after another from the two departments with a recalled expression on his face. In the meantime, it was Director Cheok Hyuk-jun, who was unable to straighten his shoulders like a criminal at the executive meeting because he had not shown any significant results in connection with the investigation of Professor Woo Jin-gil’s confidentiality leak.
“According to your report, the man named Jjangcheon of Black Panther gang, who was being chased by the Department of Foreign Intelligence, is the same person who kidnapped Woo Jin-gil’s family?”
“I think so. It’s possible, by chance, that two people may be calling at the same time, but if the originating location is the same, It seems to be unmistakable.”
When Section 2 Manager Kim Ki-won spoke in a confident voice, Section 3 Manager Na Tae-hwan, who was next to him, nodded saying the same thing.
“I think it is the same person as well.”
“What did Woo Eun-seo say?”
The External Information Division 3 had sent the recorded voice to Woo Eun-seo to confirm whether it was the same as the voice of the criminal.
“Yes, according to Woo Eun-seo the voice of the criminal at that time was very similar.”
“Um, the Foreign Intelligence Division 1 was properly chasing the right culprit. Did you send any information there?”
“Yes, we are currently sharing the confirmed information.”
“What about Section three?”
“Yes, we forwarded it to them as soon as it was confirmed.”
As soon as Section 3 finished with Na Tae-hwan’s answer, Director Cheok Hyuk-jun lightly tapped the table, got up from his seat, looked around the managers, and spoke vigorously.
“Great! Section 2 and 3 continue to maintain the monitoring system, and Section 4!”
“Yes, Director”
“Find everything about Venetian Hotels! Secure all information of guests staying 5 days or more and CCTV! It’s Code Red. Don’t miss a single ant in the Venetian Hotel and search them all!”
“All right. We will get started right away.”
At this time, Section 1 Manager Kang Pil-ho carefully spoke out.
“Chief, as long as it is revealed that the New China government is behind it, shouldn’t we move nationally?”
“Not yet. If we want to catch Jjangcheon, secure the evidence, and destroy all leaked confidential data, shouldn’t we continue to move secretly and carefully?”
“Well, I guess so. My thoughts were short.”
“What about situation in Beijing?
“Currently, we have been contacted that they are decrypting encrypted documents among the hacked documents. They seem to be having a hard time with the double encryption module that the Chinese b*stards put on.”
Section 4, Manager Kim Ki-won, who supported Manager Nam Goong -won and his party answered.
“If it takes time, shouldn’t we support it from our side?”
“Chief Director, Manager Namgoong, and the agents over there are far superior to the agents from the headquarters. I think it would be better to trust them on it.”
“Okay then, let’s proceed with Section 4 as instructed! Let’s work harder for our Black Agents who are struggling in Macau. I’m going to report to the manager.”
“Yes. All right.”

December 6th, 2023 16:10, (Macao time 15:10),
Casino at the Sands Cotai Venetian Hotel, Macau Special District, China
In the lobby, cafes, and casinos of the Venetian Hotel, external information 1 and agents hid their flashing eyes and looked around, disguised as tourists.
Two hours ago, accurate location information about Jjangcheon was delivered from the headquarters, and all other agents, except for department 4, were deployed to the Venetian Hotel.
However, there was one problem. Location information was secured, but there was no clear information about the character Jjangcheon. In particular, the agents couldn’t find it even after all these agents were deployed because the agent didn’t know what Jjangcheon’s face looked like. It was just that he was an Asian man in his late 30s, and the agents only looked closely at the people around them with the sense of intelligence of being a spy.
Team leader Park Gi-oong, who was playing blackjack games again on the VIP floor, looked at the people playing games at various tables and the people walking around during the game. Perhaps that’s why the coins changed from the special expenses were noticeably decreasing due to a lack of concentration.
<ul>
Chief Park! Isn’t there anything special about it?
</ul>
The voice of Manager Lee Ja-sung came out through silent communication.
“Yeah, there is nothing special.”
<ul>
I get it. keep on doing your job
</ul>
“Confirmed!”
On the other hand, under the VIP floor, in the game room for the general public, various agents were enjoying various games in various places and watching them with keen eyes.
<hr />
December 6th 18:00 (New China time 17:00),
New World Beijing Hotel, Dongcheng, Beijing, New China.
Namgoong-won and his party, who were in a hurry to secure the location of Jjangcheon, which were being pursued by the 1st Department of Foreign Information, solved the 1st encryption document, but devoted themselves to solving the 2nd encryption document without a short break due to the unexpected double encryption module.
“Ah! Damn these Chinese bastards, really, I’m gonna vomit. I’m gonna throw up.”
Director Kim Young-gyun, whose eyes were red and bloodshot, spitting abusive language day and night and tapped on the keyboard.
“Hey! You are being too noisy! I can’t concentrate because of you!”
Assistant Manager Na Seong-hyeon, who was working next to him, frowned and scolded him.
“Have a pity on me. If I don’t do this, I feel like I’m going to fall asleep.”
“Then talk quietly and mumble.”
“Okay, I get it.”
The two agents, who had been wrestling with a small laptop for more than 72 hours without sleeping, were nervous that they had slowly reached the limit of their physical strength.
“You guys take a break! I’m going to finish the last of the job.”
Namgoong-won who was also knocking on the keyboard, forcing himself to endure the rush of sleep.
“Oh! How can we rest when the manager is working?” We have to finish it together.”
“No! It’s almost done. Send me the source that you worked on!
“Are you sure?”
“Yes! Send it right away!”
“Yes, I see.”
After a while, Namgoong-won, who received the source from the two agents, combined it with his source and completed a dismantling program that could unlock the encrypted module. And two hours later, after several trials and errors, the tightly closed folders finally began to be released one by one.
“It opened! It is done!”
The two agents, who had been sleeping on the sofa like in the heaven for a while jumped up due to Namgoong-won’s cheers, and reflected their faces on Namgoong-won’s laptop monitor.
“Wow! It’s finally unlocked.”
“Wow! It’s worth the trouble. Hahaha, Manager Namgung is surely our legend.”
“Are you going to keep saying things like that?”
Namgoong-won, who seemed to be in an good mood at the word legend gave a awkward smile, and clicked on each folder where the encryption was unlocked with his mouse to see if there was any useful information. And the moment he clicked on the fourth folder, several documents with New China’s annotation office sentences came out.
“What is this?”
Namgoong-won immediately launched a translation program to understand the contents of the document written in Chinese.
“Yeah, that’s right. I think I found the right one”.
The title of the document translated into the translation program was like this. ‘Plasma confidentiality report’
“These motherf*ckers…”
Namgoong-won, who was losing the translated report while handing over the note, cursed without realizing it. The document contained details on how and how Black Panther agents stole plasma confidentiality in Hong Kong.
Assuming that Professor Woo Jin-gil’s confidential leak, the New China government may have been behind the scenes, and carried out a dangerous mission coming until to beijing, but when they saw such direct evidence, they suddenly burst their anger.
“These punks even after being like that two years ago, they still haven’t get back to their senses. We have to catch all the people who is involved in this case and put them in jail until they die.”
“Chief Kim! Would that work? You should just erase them on the map! Very clean.”
While the two agents were swearing in an excited tone, Namgoong-won continued to turn the note and checked. And when it was halfway over, the right hand holding the mouse stopped.
It was personal information of Black Panther agents who participated in the confidential leak.
It was finally the moment when the personal information of the gang who stole plasma information by hostage and threatening Professor Woo Jin-gil’s young grandchildren and granddaughter under the guise of a criminal organization was finally being revealed.
A total of 12 Black Panther agents that were active in Hong Kong, were intelligence agency agents or special forces in China.
“Ah! But there’s no one named as Jjangcheon.””
Deputy Na Sung-hyun, who was watching together, said with his head raised.
“Jjangcheon may not be his real name!” Anyway, since it said that he is the team leader, so wouldn’t it be him?”
Namgoong-won pointed to a man’s profile that said he was the team leader among Black Panther agents as a mouse point.
His name is Zhang Yixing, 182 centimeters tall and weighs 85 kilograms, and he is from PLA, a former Chinese special force, and in the photo, he was a strong impression of handsome type in his late 30s.
“You’re saying that this could be Jjangcheon.”
“Deputy Na, send this picture to Manager Lee right now! He will be walking around with lights on hiseyes to find him even though he don’t know his face”.
“Yes, I’ll send it right away.”
<hr />
December 6th, 2023 20:10, (Macao time 19:10),
Sands Cotai Venetian Hotel Casino, Macau SAR, Republic of China.
As if heading to the bare ground, information such as welcome rain arrived in Foreign Information Division 1, which was looking for Jjangcheon Stream only by the intuition of the intelligence agent. It was a picture of a person believed to be Jjangcheon.
On all agents’ smartphones, photos of people presumed to be Jjangcheon were sent from Beijing Namgoong-won and his party.
“Huh? I think I’ve seen this face before.”
Chief Park Gi-oong looked closely at the photos on his smartphone screen and nodded to refine his memory.
That’s right! He’s similar to the one I saw in front of the VVIP elevator yesterday.’
Chief Park Gi-oong smiled without realizing it and gave a gesture to the dealer that he would stop playing the game, and quietly got up from his seat and moved to a quiet place. Then, he sent a silent communication to Chief Sung Sang-hyun in the accommodation.
“Chief Sung!”
<ul>
Yes, Chief Park.
</ul>
“Did you receive the picture too?”
<ul>
Yes, we have started the photo-matching now.
</ul>
“Then, start matching the photos that I took!”
<ul>
Yes?
</ul>
“Hurry! It’s similar to the one I saw yesterday.”
<ul>
Ah! All right. Then, I will check the picture of Chief Park.
</ul>
“Hurry!”
<ul>
Yes, it may take a few minutes.
</ul>
“okay. I’ll wait”
After a while, a silent communication flew in from Chief Sung Sang-hyun.
<ul>
Chief Park! Among the photos taken by Chief Park, there is a photo in which the matching analysis result is 95%. Even though the picture was taken from a slightly diagonal angle, it is safe to say that 95% is 100%.
</ul>
“What time was it?”
<ul>
It’s 11:23.
</ul>
“Right! It is that b*stard.”
<ul>
Yes?
</ul>
“I met him briefly in the elevator going to the VVIP room. When I first saw him, I thought there was a feeling of something was off, but it was that b*stard.”
<ul>
Woah! That’s awesome.
</ul>
“Just in case we don’t know, keep matching other photos! I will report this to manager Lee right away.”
<ul>
Yes, all right.
</ul>
After completing the communication, Chief Park Gi-oong manipulated the terminal and sent a silent communication to Manager Lee Ja-seong this time.
“Chief! Did you get the picture?”
<ul>
Yes! Chief Park! I got it. Did you find anything?
</ul>
“Yeah, that’s why I called.”
<ul>
Yeah, what is it?
</ul>
“That picture is the guy that I saw yesterday in front of the elevator going to the VVIP room.”
<ul>
Really? Are you sure?
</ul>
“Yeah, I just got a picture from Chief Sung that matched 95% of the pictures I took. That’s him.”
<ul>
Okay? That’s good, things are starting to work out.
</ul>
“Chief! Now that we have the photos, let’s move on to Code Black.”
<ul>
Well, you have to be more careful at times like this! When it’s a clear opportunity, you have to catch it without mistakes, so for now, your team will continue to monitor from your current location, and the rest of the team will be withdrawn to the dormitory to prepare for the arrest operation tonight. Okay?
</ul>
“All right..”
