Chapter 438: Season 2 Book 18 Trans-Siberia – 1-1 Execute One As a Warning to Others

December 6th, 2023 21:20 (Macao time 20:20),

At an accommodation in Macau Special Area, Republic of China.

“After checking all CC cameras at the Venetian Hotel from the headquarters, we confirmed that Jjangcheon entered the VVIP room at the time we were monitoring two hours ago. In addition, information was confirmed that $100,000 transferred from Qingdao’s Boss was withdrawn from the bank counter in the VVIP room. In other words, it was clear that Jjangcheon Stream is currently in the VVIP room.

Cybersecurity Division 4 has secured control over guests personal information and various operating systems by hacking all computer systems of Venetian hotels. Since then, as Jjangcheon’s photos have been secured, the information that finally confirmed that Jjangcheon is staying in room 2015 and has left his room and moved to the VVIP room 20 minutes ago was sent to the Department 1 of External Information by analyzing CC camera images taken so far.

“Manager! If Jjangcheon is staying in room 2015, why don’t we infiltrate and wait and arrest him quietly?”

Chief Yoon Tae-jin, who was listening to a brief on Jjangcheon, raised his hand and expressed his opinion.

“Well, I think that’s the easiest way, as Chief Yoon said, but according to information from the headquarters, is that the last day that Jjangcheon is staying here at the Venetian Hotel. What if Jjangcheon plays the game until dawn and checks out? Shouldn’t we check up on unexpected situations like this?”

“He has played the game until dawn. Shall he check out without a break?”

Manager Lee Ja-sung, who saw the wristwatch, nodded and answered Chief Yoon Tae-jin’s additional question.

“Team 1 is infiltrating the room 2015, so let’s check and decide”.

After a few minutes, communication came from Yang Jung-seok, deputy manager of the first team who succeeded in infiltrating the room 2015.

– This is Deputy Manager Yang. We’ve currently infiltrated Room 2015!

“What’s the result?”

– I’ve been searching with Chief Kang, but there’s nothing much. I think he has carried out the important luggage.

“Great! Let’withdraw and move towards Chief Park Gi-oong!”

– A minimum amount of money is needed to enter the VIP floor. I just can’t get in.

“Are you listening, Chief Park?”

– Yes. Manager!

“Unleash the special expenses!”

– Yes, all right.

“From now on, we will establish an operation against Jjangcheon, so Team 1 please listen in a silent communication state.”

– Team 1 switch to transmission mode silent communication.

After completing the communication, manager Lee Ja-sung turned to the team members sitting in the living room again and continued the meeting.

“According to the results of team 1’s confirmation of Jjangcheon’s room, it seems difficult for Chief Yoon to make the plan he wants.”

“Then how about waiting in the underground parking lot or lobby?”

“That’s one way, too, but it’s also likely to miss it missed. I want to make this opportunity perfect. It is surely is dangerous, but I want to penetrate the VVIP room myself and catch him for sure.”

“Okay.”

Chief Yoon Tae-jin, who knew what Manager Lee Ja-seong’s intentions were, immediately nodded and answered.

“Now then, I will tell you about the operation to arrest Jjangcheon. Deputy Na! Show up the hotel floor plan!”

“Yes, Manager”

When Na Sung-yul, deputy director of Team Four, knocked on the keyboard on the laptop connected to the hotel TV, the hotel drawing appeared in 3D format on the TV screen.

“Now! As you can see from the format, there are a total of four passages to move to the VVIP room. One is an elevator in the main hall, another elevator connected to the sky lounge, and two emergency stairs on the left and right. According to the headquarters’ confirmation, the two emergency stairs were completely closed unless a fire or emergency occurred. In other words, it seems impossible to penetrate here.”

According to manager Lee Ja-sung’s explanation, the two emergency stairs marked in the 3D format turned red.

“The route of penetration is taken to the VVIP room using the central hall elevator, and after arresting Jjangcheon, immediately takes the elevator across the sky lounge to the rooftop and escape by Skybus. Then let’s move on to the details. The team that will be penetrating into the VVIP room is...”

December 6th, 2023 23:30, (Macau time 22:30),

Sands Cotai Venetian Hotel Casino, Macau SAR, Republic of China.

“Alpha four! Have you secured the hotel control system?”

– This is Alpha Four! We have secured all control rights, including lighting, elevators, CC cameras, and doors. Also, I’m looking at everyone through the CC camera, so just tell me.

“Okay, Alpha Four! Stand by! Alpha Zero! What’s going on now?”

– This is Alpha Zero! We’re always ready to go! It takes 5 minutes to reach the target point.

“Okay. If I hit standby, head out.”

– This is Alpha Zero. Okay.

“Alpha two! Did you get the location?”

– This is Alpha Two! – All agents are monitoring from their positions!

“Okay! The strategy begins now. Don’t let your guard down until you complete your mission.”

Manager Lee Ja-sung, who was looking around the VIP floor in special glasses and a clean suit that looked like regular glasses, checked the current situation of each team through voiceless communication. And near the main hall elevator, Chief Park Gi-oong and his team members were waiting in TCS mode.

Ding!

The elevator connected to the VVIP room came down to the VIP floor. And a group of tourists got off the elevator. Manager Lee Ja-sung, who was watching this sideways, naturally headed to the elevator.

“Wait! Let me check your membership.”

When a man who seemed to be first time approached then the VIP floor manager, blocked him with his hand and asked him to show his membership.

“Are you new?”

Manager Lee Ja-sung made a sly face and asked back in English.

“What? What do you mean by new employee?” I’ve been working here for over five years.”

“Is that so? I have asked because you didn’t recognize me.”

“Sir! I’m sorry, but I’ve never seen you before. Please show me your membership.”

“Oh! I was on a business trip here in a hurry and forgot to bring my membership card..”

“Sorry. You can’t go to the VVIP room without a membership.”

At the manager’s words, two other security staff next to him approached and blocked him.

“You are being too tight. Can’t you just check my membership number? It’s not just once or twice. Do you always treat the guest like this when I spend hundreds of thousands of dollars every time I come here?

When he criticized with an angry look, the manager looked a little embarrassed and soon took out the tablet PC.

“I’m sorry. Can I have your membership number?”

“VVIP-20517M7”

The manager, who entered the number called by manager Lee Ja-sung on the tablet PC, was surprised and soon smiled brightly.

“Oh! I’m sorry. James Hong! I’m sorry that I didn’t recognize you.”

The manager bowed his head to greet him as a sign of apology.

External Intelligence Team 1 and 4 had infiltrated the Venetian VVIP member computer network and inserted a virtual person before starting the operation.

“That’s okay. It’s your job, so it can happen. I can go, right?”

“Yes, get in the elevator.”

An elevator door opened when a security employee pressed a button on the terminal he was holding in his hand. Manager Lee Ja-sung, who was about to get in the elevator, turned around and called the manager. Then, he gave Alpha Four instructions through voiceless communication.

“Excuse me, manager”.

“Alpha four! Control the elevator door!”

– Yes, controlling the elevator door.

The manager approached when he answered upward.

“Yes, sir!”

“Me too, I think I’ve disengaged without a membership, so have dinner with this with other employees later.”

Manager Lee Ja-sung bounced a $1,000 coin with his finger.

“Oh! Thank you. I wish you all the best today.”

“Lucky? Haha, I am wasting an amount of an apartment every time I come here.”

The manager, who received the $1,000 coin, was in a good mood and trembled visibly.

“You’re going to win a lot today. I guarantee it. Haha.”

“Thank you for even saying it. See you later.”

Chief Park Gi-oong and his team members, who were waiting in TCS mode while the elevator door opened and manager Lee Ja-sung and the manager were talking for a while, quickly got into the elevator. After the conversation, Manager Lee Ja-sung also got on the elevator and instructed Alpha Four again through voiceless communication.

“Alpha Four! Release the control!”

– This is Alpha Four! I’ll release the control.

The door closed and the elevator arrived at the VVIP room on the 15th floor.

Ding!

When the elevator door opened, manager Lee Ja-sung almost opened his mouth without realizing it with the splendid and stylish interior decoration that was incomparable to the VIP floor.

“Welcome.”

Between both sides of the elevator door, 10 beautiful ladies greeted in short dresses. It was ecstasy itself.He was so excited that he felt as if he was in a new world.

“It’s different because it’s a VVIP room.”

It was a situation where exclamations were likely to come out, but manager Lee Ja-sung, who was carrying out a mission to build the Armed Forces, walked forward with a calm look as much as possible. And Chief Park Gi-oong and his team members also carefully left the elevator and headed straight to the bathroom.

“Alpha for! There’s no CC camera here, so listen and wait carefully.

– Yes, don’t worry.

To find Jjangcheon, manager Lee Ja-sung naturally walked around the VVIP room with a glass of whiskey that was provided free of charge.

In the 300-acre VVIP room, more than 300 guests were enjoying the game in several game rooms. And since there are no CC cameras here, they don’t know if it was for monitoring or for the safety of VVIP, but there seemed to be more than 100 men who appeared to be security staff.

After a while, Chief Park Gi-oong and his teammates, who entered the bathroom, showed natural behavior in neat suits and walked around the VVIP room.

– Alpha One! We got out of the bathroom. From now on, we will be targeting the target.

“Alpha One! Don’t act too hastily, slowly play the game and target while acting as naturally as possible.”

– Alpha One check!

About 30 minutes later, member of Alpha One, Gangwon Il, sent a voiceless communication with a rather nervous voice.

This is Alpha One again, three! I think I found it. This is the 5th roulette game room in the direction of 3 o’clock from the main hall.

“Alpha One again, three!” Don’t approach him and watch him while playing games at another table. Alpha One! Alpha One is approaching. Over!

– Alpha One again, three! Check!

– Alpha one! Check!

Chief Park Gi-oong, who was looking for Jjangcheon at the blackjack game room, turned and headed towards the roulette game room. Manager Lee Ja-seong, who oversees this mission, also naturally went to the roulette game room.

– This is Alpha One! Targeting done!

“I am also done targeting.”

– This is Alpha One! Manager! Shall we start?

“Okay Alpha One, rest of the agents, prepare as well!”

– Alpha One Again Two! All right.

– Alpha One Again Three! Securing the location.

– Alpha One Back Four! All right.

Jjangcheon placed a $1,000 coin on the red number 25 and black number 10 on the betting board, and drank the whiskey glass he was holding, whether he was thirsty.

When the other guests finished their bets, the roulette board started to turn.

Torrrrrrrrreee~

A small ball bounced off the spinning roulette and danced. Soon after, the roulette board stopped, and the small ball stopped at red No. 25.

“Ahaha! Yesterday’s bad luck is coming back today!””

In one round of roulette, Jjangcheon received 35 times the dividend and earned $34,000 excluding the money he lost.

“You punk! You make money so easily.”

Manager Lee Ja-sung, who doesn’t know how much money Jjangcheon has lost, shed his eyes looking at Jjangcheon who was being happy from the side. Chief Park Gi-oong, who is standing opposite, also looked at Jjangcheon with a gloomy look.

At the time when Jjangcheon put $1,000 coin on the betting board and took a deep breath, Manager Lee Ja-sung and Chief Park Gi-oong exchanged looks and nodded.
