[102] Lacking patient 2
Why is this person?
Why is a person lying on an operating table when he should be relaxing at home after work?
“Who are you? Anyone know?”
Seeing me startled, my grandfather snatched the business card from my hand.
“What? Were you one of our employees?”
“Ah yes. This is my dedicated follow-up staff. You took me this morning. I was told to leave work…”
As I spoke, the situation was drawn.
Assistant Manager Kim ignored my words and kept the utmost sincerity he could. I did my duty to accompany me until I went home.
But would you think you would throw away your body or even your life?
As if the grandfather understood the situation at once, he opened his mouth to the hospital director.
“Can I buy this friend?”
“I am doing my best right now.”
That’s all the doctor can say. Aren’t doctors supposed to not bet on people’s lives?
“Please save me. Maybe it’s the savior of our lives…”
“Yes. President.”
“If my words offend you, don’t get me wrong. If necessary, how about moving to Sunyang Medical Center?”
“It is a bunch now. Once the operation is over, you need to see the condition. Even a small shock can cause shock. Because ambulances and even helicopters are dangerous.”
“great. I leave that decision to the hospital director. But anything is fine, so if you need anything, don’t hesitate to let me know. Whether it’s medical personnel or equipment.”
“yes. I’ll tell you again after the surgery.”
After the hospital director stepped down, my grandfather comforted me.
“Your guy has a good suit. To meet such a person.”
He tried to comfort me, but I couldn’t reach him.
The person who would lay down his life for me had no sense of reality.
“Many people have been imprisoned instead of me, but none have risked their lives…. You must be worried about how to repay this debt.”
“Doesn’t it seem like I’m the only one who owes that debt?”
“I see. I am deeply indebted to this friend. haha.”
Grandpa started looking down at the bloody business card again.
“Get some sleep. At least until the surgery is over, there seems to be nothing neither my grandfather nor I can do.”
“okay. Let’s get some rest.”
Grandpa closed his eyes, but I couldn’t rest.
If, by any chance, Assistant Manager Kim Yun-seok does not come out of the operating room, he will have to live forever with a debt he has no way to repay.
A corner of my heart is heavy.

Entering Gongju City, Lee Hak-jae stopped the car for a while. I called the police ahead of me, thanked them for their help, and rewarded them appropriately.
And there was a place to stop before the hospital.
“Let’s go to the princess police station.”
Arriving at the police station, Lee Hak-jae strode into the commissioner’s office.
Upon receiving Lee Hak-jae’s business card, the chief showed a polite attitude.
“I have been contacted by the Commissioner. But I didn’t expect you to arrive so early.”
“Because it’s so urgent. I stomped on it a little hard.”
“The mouths of the children who were dispatched to the scene were tightly shut. You can rest assured on that.”
“Thank you for caring me. By the way, did you understand the situation?”
“We need to do a bit more on-site investigation, but the opinions of senior traffic experts are as follows.”
The police chief started drawing on A4 paper.
“When I checked the speed mark, the chairman’s car was waiting for the signal. However, I don’t know if the truck went straight on the left side of the intersection and broke the steering wheel, but it drove into the chairman’s car.”
“Then the president must have been badly injured…”
“That’s right. But at this time, there was another car behind the chairman. It was a BMW… I just banged the truck before the truck and the president’s car collided. Tire marks are clearly visible on the asphalt, indicating the sudden start of the BMW. Thanks to that, the truck turned around…”
Seeing Lee Hak-jae’s expression difficult to understand, the chief tilted his head.
“I guessed that it was the vehicle for the president’s attendant secretary, didn’t it?”
“Are you a BMW driver…?”
“It is serious. No matter how safe a German car is, I just put an 8-ton truck in it and it can’t be fine.”
“So the president’s car is the second collision.”
“yes. By the way, Chairman Sunyang’s assistants are really great. For the sake of the lord, he even threw down his life like straw. I was impressed.”
“Did you know his identity or name?”
“yes. My wallet is out. Wait. Where did you write it down…”
The chief brought a piece of memo from the desk.
“Do you know that I am Kim Yun-seok, the assistant manager of the Strategy Office?”
Of course I don’t know. I only know the role of the department called the Strategy Office. You just have to figure this out slowly…
“Are you a truck driver…?”
“He was seriously injured and is undergoing treatment. don’t worry I have a detective attached. I can’t take it anywhere.”
The chief looked at Lee Hak-jae’s eyes and asked cautiously.
“Is there anything unusual about it?”
“Oh no. It was early in the morning, so the truck driver must have slept after driving all night. Aren’t there many such things?”
“We think so too, but we need to investigate further…”
“Chief.”
“yes.”
Lee Hak-jae covered the chief’s mouth with a gesture.
“Before that, could you give me information about the truck and driver?”
The chief handed out the accident report.
“This is the truck number and the driver’s identity. As I said, a little more investigation…”
“The Commissioner will contact you again. Just cover it up.”
“yes?”
“As you know, the President’s accident has adverse effects in many fields. The victim is our employee, so there should be no problem.”
This is the request of the Commissioner and the Sunyang Group. No need to worry any more. Where is the one less troublesome thing?
“Aigo Sunyang Group is doing it, so how can it be? Do whatever is convenient for you.”
The work to be done here is done.
Now all that remains is to go to the hospital and cover that mouth and eyes.
* * *
Following the guidance of the hospital director, Lee Hak-jae carefully opened the door and entered.
“Chief Lee.”
I lowered my voice in case my sleeping grandfather would wake up.
Chief Lee glanced at the bed and came over to me.
“How are you? Are you okay? Did you get all the tests done?”
“yes. I had a CT scan and there was nothing wrong with it.”
“thank god. President, are you all right?”
“yes.”
Chief Lee still couldn’t take his eyes off Grandpa’s bed.
“Isn’t that Kim Yoon-seok?”
“yes. This is my attendant. Strategy room.”
“As expected. But why did this friend follow me?”
It is a slightly puzzled expression.
When I tried to explain what Deputy Manager Kim was thinking, he nodded.
“His loyalty is great. Thanks to that, I think both you and the President saved their lives.”
“Is that so? I was just guessing that it might be the case.”
“that’s right. This dude ran into an oncoming truck. Because of that, my career path changed dramatically, so I’m fine.”
“Are you here? I should have woken you up.”
Grandpa raised his upper body.
“Chairman, just lie down.”
Director Lee hurriedly ran to help me, and I built the back of the bed.
“Do-joon. Go to the next room for a bit. Hal Abi has a few things to talk about with Chief Lee.”
“yes.”
I quietly left the room and closed the door.
“Have you taken any action?”
“yes. I asked the chief here to erase the accident itself. I met with the director and told him once again so that the details of the accident would not leak out.”
“What about the accident? Did you hear anything?”
Lee Hak-jae conveyed the contents of the conversation with the police chief.
“I have already ordered a background investigation of the truck driver. If you dig, something will come out.”
“why? Do you think there might be something?”
When President Jin asked with his eyes shining, Lee Hak-jae was a little taken aback.
“Because I have to think about what if. Isn’t the president still not contacting the family because he can’t erase his doubts?”
“No one knows that I am going to Gunsan. It could be just drowsy driving.”
“I’ll check when the truck driver wakes up.”
Lee Hak-jae, who answered briefly, seemed to be asking for approval. Chairman Jin nodded quietly.
“Take care of it quietly so that there is no noise.”
“yes. By the way, when will I contact my family?”
“Wait for now. Rumors will fly anyway. Are there only one or two people in the hospital? You look around moderately. It’s okay to say that I’m taking a rest in a hot spring.”
“All right.”
Lee Hak-jae looked at Chairman Jin and asked cautiously.
“Chairman, is that what you meant by taking Dojunie to Gunsan?”
Joseon Rice Field in Gunsan.
Sunyang Group is the starting point
and there is a secret there.
A secret place that less than ten people know.
It has been turned into a museum, but the basement is also a museum. Although it is the personal museum of Chairman Jin Yang-cheol.
It is a place to store trivial items that stimulate his memories from his childhood to the present.
A museum of memories where you can calmly look back on his life.
There, the eldest son, Jin Yeong-gi, and the second son, Dong-gi, were each given the title of successor to Sunyang.
Today, Do-joon Jin almost received his third title.
“okay. why? Does Dojunie seem lacking?”
“Oh no. I am young, but I know that I am outstanding.”
Lee Hak-jae knows Jin Do-jun’s secret. Isn’t he the one who made tens of billions into trillions of won? His talent is amazing, but the meticulousness of keeping it a secret is even more surprising.
“Your two sons have already visited, and Dojun is the third? Or…”
He blurted out. I wanted to ask if he had erased his sons and turned to his grandson, but it was an awkward word to say.
“Let’s just say number three. Not yet…”
“Yes. President, I understand what you mean.”
When Lee Hak-jae lowered his head, Chairman Jin smiled.
“My sons were overjoyed when I asked them to lead the Sunyang Group well. I was wondering what kind of expression Do-joon would make, but it’s a pity that I didn’t see it.”
“Wouldn’t it have been a calm expression since he had a serious personality?”
“Maybe I could have waved my hand and said no.”
“yes? Could it be?”
Rejecting the successor of Sunyang Group? Either he was not greedy for money or he was scared, but Jin Do-jun does not belong to either.
“How sneaky is that guy?”
Chairman Jin just giggled and laughed.
“A guy just over 20 risked his life to make a loyal subordinate. Hakjae can you die instead of me?”
“I can’t now. I have a wife and three children waiting for me to die. I can’t wait to spend my money. How would you like to die? Hehe.”
Chairman Jin widened his eyes.
“You are too old. I see you are afraid of dying. Heh heh heh.”
“Aren’t you upset?”
“To you, who was imprisoned for three years instead of me? I didn’t say anything, just know that I’m always grateful.”
“Since you took care of the money instead of words, I know how you feel. haha.”
Seeing Lee Hak-jae speak freely in front of him, he felt that a lot of time had passed.
Now his time has come to an end. It seemed like it would be fun to see who would be in the hands of the next era.
At this time, Director Yu entered with a knock on the door.
“Chief. People come and find you.”
“Oh, I’ll go right away.”
Chief Lee stood up and said.
“I called some security agents just in case. I’ll go out and work. Get some rest.”
* * *
From the main entrance of the medical center to the entrance to the intensive care unit and Chairman Jin’s hospital room, men in suits lined up.
They will only follow the instructions of Chief Lee Hak-jae. In other words, it means that the family cannot see Chairman Jin’s face without the permission of Chief Lee.
I was able to rest for the first time in a long time within the strict barriers of the agents, but even this was not easy.
“Hey. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a beer?”
“grandfather. Our lifesaver is now undergoing life-or-death surgery. At least until the surgery is over, you have to wait with a prayerful heart. What about alcohol!”
I found out another fact.
When a healthy old man lies on a bed in a hospital room, he wants to eat more.
