The alarm in the secret room blared piercingly, and red lights flashed like the bloodthirsty eyes of a beast.
Park Bucheng cursed under his breath, ignoring Kim Tae-wook, and decisively shouted, "Retreat!"
Li Shunjae and Choi Ji-yeon did not hesitate, quickly following Park Bucheng as the three of them swiftly evacuated the secret room.
The alarm's shrill sound felt like it would pierce their eardrums, and the frantic red lights seemed to promise a barrage of bullets at any moment. Park Bucheng knew all too well that if they delayed any longer, they would become sitting ducks. He shouted "Retreat!" again, his voice echoing in the narrow corridor with undeniable resolve. Li Shunjae and Choi Ji-yeon dared not hesitate for a moment, following closely behind as they fled like arrows from a bow.
Using Graceful Wave Steps, Park Bucheng navigated the narrow passage with ease. His figure flickered like a ghost, weaving through the dense infrared beams and laser grids without triggering any alarms. The sounds of footsteps and shouts grew closer behind him; he knew that the Chaebol's security personnel were hot on their heels.
"Damn it, they're reacting so fast!" Park Bucheng cursed under his breath, quickening his pace. The walls on either side of the corridor reflected the alarm's red light, making him feel as if he were trapped in a blood-red maze.
Upon reaching the Frozen Warehouse, Park Bucheng suddenly stopped and turned to Li Shunjae and Choi Ji-yeon. "You two go ahead; I'll cover the rear."
The Frozen Warehouse was chillingly cold, with white mist swirling in the air, obscuring their view of the path ahead. Li Shunjae and Choi Ji-yeon shivered at the sudden drop in temperature.
"Boss, we can't do this!" Li Shunjae urged anxiously. "We should leave together!" His eyes widened with concern and worry. He understood that Park Bucheng staying behind meant facing a tide of incoming Chaebol security personnel.
"Follow orders!" Park Bucheng replied firmly. "You need to evacuate to a safe location first; I'll catch up." His gaze was resolute and left no room for doubt. He knew that this was the only way to ensure their mission's success and make their sacrifices worthwhile.
Choi Ji-yeon tugged at Li Shunjae's sleeve, signaling him to comply with Park Bucheng's decision. Though she worried for Park Bucheng's safety, she understood that this was not the time for impulsive actions.
Li Shunjae gritted his teeth; he knew it wasn't a moment for heroics and reluctantly nodded before leaving the Frozen Warehouse with Choi Ji-yeon. They vanished into the white mist, leaving Park Bucheng alone to face the impending danger.
Park Bucheng took a deep breath, squinting as he watched the security personnel closing in on him, a cold smile creeping onto his lips. "You think you can catch me? Not so easy!"
A dozen fully armed security guards burst into the Frozen Warehouse, wielding electric batons and firearms, exuding a menacing aura. The captain, spotting Park Bucheng standing in the center of the warehouse, immediately shouted, "Catch him! Don't let him escape!"
In a flash, he vanished like a ghost, leaving several bewildered security guards behind. Utilizing Graceful Wave Steps, Park Bucheng's figure flickered throughout the warehouse like a streak of black lightning, making it impossible for the guards to track him.
He darted around the warehouse, skillfully evading the pursuing security personnel. One moment he was behind a shelf, the next he was hiding in the shadows of a container, leaving the guards exhausted and frustrated as they struggled to catch him.
"Damn it, is this kid made of mud?" one of the security captains cursed in exasperation. He had never encountered anyone so agile; it felt as if Park Bucheng was toying with them.
While the security team was in disarray, Park Bucheng quietly made his way to the surveillance room in the warehouse area. He kicked open the door, and before the staff inside could react, he knocked one out with a swift strike.
Quickly operating the computer, Park Bucheng deleted all surveillance footage and uploaded previously copied evidence of the Chaebol colluding with America to manipulate Taiji Nation's political landscape to a cloud server. He set it to be sent to major media outlets and government departments at scheduled intervals. This was his true purpose for coming here; he wanted to expose the Chaebol's ugly face to the world and let everyone see their true nature.
Satisfied with his work, Park Bucheng smiled and turned to leave the surveillance room. He knew he had successfully completed his mission and could now sit back and watch the drama unfold.
He met up with Li Shunjae and Choi Ji-yeon outside the warehouse area. "Boss, are you okay?" Li Shunjae asked with concern. Seeing Park Bucheng return safely finally eased his worried mind.
"I'm fine," Park Bucheng waved his hand dismissively. "Let's go."
The three quickly left the warehouse area, disappearing into the night like ghosts, leaving behind a chaotic scene.
The next morning, major media outlets and government departments received anonymous emails containing evidence of the Chaebol's collusion with America to manipulate Taiji Nation's political affairs. The entire Taiji Nation erupted in outrage as the Chaebol's nefarious activities were fully exposed. Public anger reached its peak, forcing the Taiji Nation government to launch an investigation. And behind all this chaos was Park Bucheng, who had successfully struck back against the Chaebol with his intelligence and courage, bringing hope for Taiji Nation's future.
At that moment, Park Bucheng was sitting in a small eatery, leisurely enjoying his Kimchi Fried Rice. He watched the news on the television reporting on the Chaebol scandal, a smug smile creeping onto his lips. "This is just the beginning..." he thought to himself, aware that this struggle had only just begun and that many more challenges awaited him in the future. However, he felt no fear, for he knew he possessed the power to change everything.
He picked up his spoon and continued eating his Kimchi Fried Rice, his eyes filled with confidence and determination. He believed that he could alter the fate of Taiji Nation and lead the country toward a brighter future.
Just then, his phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw an unfamiliar number. After a moment's hesitation, he decided to answer. "Hello?"
"Park Bucheng, you’ve done well," came a deep voice from the other end of the line. "Now, it's time for us to take action..."
