Seoul Set Up

Chapter 9

A week had passed since Cheonjoon and Barrister Min-Soo visited Senior Inspector Taehyun when the Senior Inspector called Cheonjoon to inform him that Sang Myung-Ki had finally been questioned. However, it was not the positive news that he was expecting that he got.

Senior Inspector Taehyun had informed him that they were unable to find any correlation between Sang Myung-Ki and his parents'. Although the case had been reopened and investigations were due to resume as they continue to find the truth regarding Teawon and Julia's death. Sang Myung-Ki would be invited for questioning as often as he seemed fit.

It didn't take time for the media to get a whiff of what was happening. Choi Taewoon and his wife's death case had been reopened and Sang Chief Executive Officer had been fingered in the controversial death of one of the top industrialists. The news was awash with the latest happenings and some industry experts had started predicting that the contract with Sang Corporation for the Seoul Multimillion Industrail Project could be withdrawn from them.

Cheonjoon was still not satisfied with the verdict of the police as Senior Inspector Taehyun had told the media that Sang Myung-Ki was not a suspect but the police had only invited him for questioning regarding his relationship with the deceased and some interviews he granted the negative quality that his friends at school disliked about him. As friendly and heartwarming as his inability to forgive a wrong without revenge was well known to not only his friends at school but to his siblings and late parents as well. He decided he was going to have none of Senior Inspector Taehyun's tricks. As far as he was concerned, Taehyun was under Sang Myung-Ki's payroll and that explains his reluctance to prosecute him fairly. If the police weren't going to help him, then he was going to put matters into his own hands and help himself. One way or another, he must avenge the death of his parents by killing Sang Myung-Ki. That was the only way he would feel peace within himself.

Cheonjoon spent the next few days thinking about how to carry out his plan. He needed a gun, but he knew getting one would be difficult as it was illegal to own guns in the country. However, he didn't mind breaking the law to achieve his aim. He was going to purchase a gun from the street gangs in Seoul, and then he would begin to plan how to kill Sang Myung-Ki. He thought of how to get to him. It would be almost impossible to walk into his house and kill him. There must be enough security to make that impossible. He didn't know how he was going to do it, but he knew he was going to it. Sang Myung-Ki must pay for killing his parents and he must pay with his life and if anyone tried to stand in his was, he will kill the person as well.

Two days later, Cheonjoon was woken up by Eunseo who called to inform him that there was a delivery guy waiting to deliver a package to him. He wondered what the package was all about as he got out of bed grudgingly and proceeded to the bathroom. He was not expecting any package from anyone and hadn't ordered anything. He concluded that it must be some business related package. He splashed some water on his face to get rid of the residues of sleep left in his eyes and cleaned it with a towel before proceeding outside to receive his package. There was a delivery guy waiting outside. He wore a red long sleeve t-shirt and a black trouser. He was resting on his delivery bike which had a big box affixed on it. They exchanged greetings and the guy asked if he was Choi Cheonjoon to which Cheonjoon replied in the affirmative.

'I'm Kim Ji-sung. I'm a delivery guy for Korea Express Deliveries,' he informed him. 'I have a package for you.'

'That's alright,'Cheonjoon replied. 'Where did this package ship from?'

Ji-sung opened the box on the bike, brought out a parcel and inspected it. 'All the way from America,' he answered.

Cheonjoon was surprised but he tried to hide it. He didn't know anyone in America who might have sent him the package. 'Does it say who shipped it or ordered it or something?'
