Lost Memories | A Liskook Adaptation

Chapter 145: Walking in the Dark

"Second Act: Black Round Table."

The lights have been dimmed on the stage as if to reflect the name of the act. The Young CEO Ye Jun, the young and handsome architect designer Kyung-Jae, and the middle-aged newly rich contractor Changwoo sit around the small and simple-looking round table.

Of course, whether these six individuals are real or the ones underground are, no one knows right now.

Ye Jun says, "We must obtain that piece of land. We all know how many billions of dollars the 'Super Project' can bring. You guys know how much you'll get out of the share too."

Kyung-Jae says with doubt, "But Young CEO, that piece of land......"

Ye Jun interrupts, "You shut up! You just need to take care of the design and other people will take care of the land assessment companies and their representatives."

Kyung-Jae keeps quiet.

Changwoo grins and leans over, "Young CEO, don't worry, I will definitely arrange everything!"

Ye Jun smiles, "Oh right, have you taken care of that old man? That Hongying Textile Factory?"

Changwoo pats his chest, "Leave it to me! That old man is just an idiot. He says that for the sake of the hundred or so old and weak employees, he doesn't want to close and move the factory. He won't leave the dormitory either. I will make them leave."

The curtains close again.

Whether it's the "audience" at the square or the many people watching over the internet, they are all intrigued by this "performance" even though there are explosives, bloodshed, and lives in danger behind all of this.

Everyone seems to understand the context of the show now. It's just another everyday story in this city and at this time; collusion between people of a certain class in exchange for money as well as forcing a woman into prostitution. The atmosphere at the square is rather peaceful. But at the same time, the police are not wasting any second or any minute as they prepare to take action.

Han River Bridge.

Namjoon, Bambam, and the others hop out of the car and look toward the commercial area at the peninsula from afar. From about 1 to 2 kilometers away, they can only see clouds floating in the blue sky as the Yangtze River and the Han River flow quietly. The buildings are still and grand in the sunlight. There is no sign of a massive and frightening incident happening right now.

Bambam feels sourness in his heart as he continues staring toward the area. But he immediately finds his energy and shouts, "Captain! I'll go over with the SWAT team! We will definitely bring them back safely!"

Namjoon nods. He watches the SWAT team in their full gear crouching as they spread out and make their way to the square quietly.

A criminal investigator comes running over, "Captain, the bomb squad has already arrived at their designated area! They have indeed found a number of bombs under the bridge and on the roads surrounding the peninsula!"

"Dismantle them! Dismantle them quietly!" Namjoon roars. He raises his head and looks toward the peninsula again, "After setting up the boats and the helicopters, wait for my orders. Be careful not to alert the criminals."

At the front of the bridge, the artery to get into the peninsula, police officers and the special units are all working anxiously and furiously. Namjoon knows very well what situation they're in: the seven-member organization is holding over a thousand civilians as hostages and occupying the peninsula. Even if they can save a large number of people with boats and helicopters, this bridge is still the main route.
