Revenge [Ryujin x Hyunjin]

(53). Attack

"Jeong Jaehyun is arriving tonight."

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

Ryujin's hand stopped moving at Hyunjin's indifferent reply.

"Tomorrow night?"

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

Ryujin's mouth went dry.

"And?"

"What do you want to do?"

Hyunjin gazed at her as he quietly asked. Ryujin 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. Ryujin 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 Jeong Jaehyun that I would steal the drugs once YongSung fulfilled their side of the deal."

"And?" Hyunjin asked drily.

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

"You can kill him."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Jeong Jaehyun is extremely observant with things like this. If the police move, there's a chance Jeong Jaehyun 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?"

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

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

Ryujin 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 Jeong Jaehyun."

"......"

He continued to speak steadily as if to relieve the frustrations deep within Ryujin'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 Jeong Jaehyun. But...

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

Ryujin looked at him with a serious expression on her face. Lieutenant Han had made sure to tell her before. Their goal was to apprehend Jeong Jaehyun 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.
