CODE NAME: ANASTASIA [Novel]

Chapter 12

Kwon Taek dropped his attack stance and straightened up. Right after that, the police officer who confronted him jumped at the opportunity and knocked Kwon Taek Joo down in a flash. His hands were twisted behind. "clack" the sound of handcuffs rang from behind. Kwon Taek glared helplessly at Zhenya, nodded slightly, and signaled to him that this damn situation should be resolved quickly.

However, Zhenya leisurely glanced at him and then looked around the restaurant. Kwon Taek Joo knew he was assessing the situation, but shouldn't that leisurely suit also choose the time and place? Kwon Taek Joo's body, which was being held by the police, was roughly lifted. The officer cuffed both his hands and took a deep breath, then turned to ask his colleague if he was okay. The policeman with a bleeding nose and wheezing approached Kwon Taek Joo, resentment evident in the hand that was pushing him away.

Kwon Taek Joo didn't move even a single step. His eyes were fixed on Zhenya, who had been very leisurely observing everything.

"Hurry up your leg!"

The tall policeman shouted ferociously. However, Kwon Taek Joo still did not budge, the policeman raised his hand with a strong spirit, Kwon Taek Joo was prepared to receive a brutal punch to the face. But something came to block that punch in an instant.

"...cough!"

His vision was obscured, Kwon Taek Joo didn't know what was going on, the only thing he knew now was that Zhenya was standing tall in front of him like a wall. He grabbed the police officer who was about to rush at Kwon Taek Joo with one hand. Not knowing how tight his hand was, the officer's face paled in an instant. His eyes were wide open and bulging as if he wanted to roll down immediately. Zhenya gently pushed him away as the man looked like he was about to die. The movement was gentle and gentle, the tall figure fell to the floor. His face and neck turned red as the blood could resume circulation.

"Get out first."

Zhenya looked down at the officers and spoke calmly. The two police officers looked at each other warily with expressions as if they didn't understand English. After several glances back and forth, one of the two policemen nodded and followed him. Zhenya turned to look at Kwon Taek Joo and quietly walked away.

Kwon Taek Joo sat near the window again. He looked at Zhenya who was talking to the policeman outside the window. Occasionally he would flash a commercial smile and carry on the conversation without difficulty. He tried to guess the content of the conversation with his mouth, but it wasn't easy. It was because the policeman was blocking his view.

Before long, Zhenya and the policeman were back at the diner. Kwon Taek Joo looked at him like he was looking for an explanation, but he just shook his head and shrugged. The policeman who had gone out with him didn't say anything to his curious colleague in the bar. Just jerked his chin towards Kwon Taek Joo and gave a surprise instruction.

"Let him go."

I don't know if the conversation went smoothly or not, but Zegna's eyes were not pleasant at all. Immediately, the handcuffs on his hands were removed.

The two policemen said their goodbyes and left the restaurant. The shop owner who had been watching from the beginning to the end just shook his head. Kwon Taek Joo confusedly asked him.

"What did you do?"

"Merely. I gave them a few coins to pay for the wine."

Kwon Taek Joo looked at Zhenya suspiciously, carefully observing the person opposite for any suspicious rays. He just looked at him with a lazy smile. Although he always showed that carefree look, he always made Kwon Taek Joo be on high alert. It was hard to shake the suspicion that that carefree attitude was not his real self.
