"Kang SungHo is arriving tonight."

"Good. The transaction is scheduled for tomorrow night, so that's excellent timing."

Lisa's hand stopped moving at Jungkook's indifferent reply.

"Tomorrow night?"

"Yeah. There's no need to drag it out, so I pulled the appointment forward. Im SungJoon will come tomorrow at noon through Hong Kong with the money."

Lisa's mouth went dry.

"And?"

"What do you want to do?"

Jungkook gazed at her as he quietly asked. Lisa blinked. Her long eyelashes fluttered.

"What?"

"Tell me what you plan to do. I'll match it."

She could tell from his eyes that he wasn't lying. Lisa calmed her heart as it began to race inside her chest. She sucked on the straw. The cup of cola that was now only filled with ice.

"I told Kang SungHo that I would steal the drugs once YongSung fulfilled their side of the deal."

"And?"

Jungkook asked drily.

"After I meet him at the harbor with the goods..."

"You can kill him."

When Lisa hesitated to finish her sentence, Jungkook finished it for her in a monotonous tone. Lisa still couldn't believe that he was being 100% honest with her.

"Do it as you planned, and we will progress as planned."

Jungkook spoke as he took her empty cup and placed it on the corner of the tray.

"Tomorrow. After YongSung and drug trafficker Li Kahui are raided by the police at the designated location."

Jungkook diagonally dragged her cup from one corner to the other.

"All you need to do is go to the harbor with me. Call Kang SungHo by using the lackey he stuck to you."

Jungkook crumpled the hamburger wrapper and tossed it inside the empty cup. After carefully listening to his words, Lisa lifted her eyes from the tray.

"Kang SungHo is extremely observant with things like this. If the police move, there's a chance Kang SungHo will figure it out and back off."

"No. Only you and I will go to him."

"...Are you telling me we'll be moving without notifying the police?"

Jungkook took a moment to piercingly stare at her as he faintly smiled.

"What kind of guy am I in your eyes?"

Lisa swallowed. That's right. This man was undoubtedly a South Korean policeman. At some point, she had lost sight of this.

"Officially, I'd be proceeding with the operation to secretly arrest Kang SungHo."

"......"

He continued to speak steadily as if to relieve the frustrations deep within Lisa's heart.

"There is no law that prohibits shooting a criminal if he struggles during his arrest. Well, in this case, you'd be the one pulling the trigger."

He was telling the truth when he promised he'd let her kill Kang SungHo. But...

"But I'm sure the police aren't going to be happy about that."

Lisa looked at him with a serious expression on her face. Lieutenant Han had made sure to tell her before. Their goal was to apprehend Kang SungHo and drag out all the other top-tier members along with him. Because they were police, if the criminal died, things would only get harder.
