CHAPTER 67

Time to Make a Decision (2)

Jang Moon-Ki also hurried back to his car when he saw Choi Jun-Woo leaving. However, Choi Jun-Woo's Ramborghini was already heading onto the road.

I spat out curses without realizing it. "Wow, seriously. That son of a bitch."

I quickly started the engine and began to follow Choi Jun-Woo. Although I didn't know the woman in his car, I knew that she would be in big trouble if I let him go like this.

As I followed Choi Jun-Woo, I could see the woman in the passenger seat swaying around. At that moment, it dawned on me that Choi Jun-Woo must have drugged her, causing her to move in such a manner.

I called Kang Gam-Chan right away after capturing the scene on video.

"Mr. Kang! This is Yoon-Ho!"

-Yes, Yoon-Ho? What's going on?

"I'm currently following Choi Jun-Woo from Club BLUE, and there is a woman in the passenger seat who seems to be unconscious. I think she's been drugged?"

-What? Where are you right now?!

"I'm on my way from Club BLUE to Nonhyeon Station. We don't have much time, Mr. Kang. I'll send you the photos and video right away!"

-Yes, okay, do that.

I urgently sent the files via KkTalk to Kang Gam-Chan.

-What, what is this? Did she take some kind of drug?

The video I sent showed the movements of a woman who was clearly unconscious.

"Mr. Kang, what should I do?"

After a brief moment of silence, Kang Gam-Chan opened his mouth.

-Keep following him and keep me updated on your location for now. Leave the rest to me.

"Yes, sir. I'll continue to stay on his tail."

Suddenly, I found myself transformed into a pursuit unit, relaying Choi Jun-Woo's location to Kang Gam-Chan in real time.

Looking through the rearview mirror, I saw that Jang Moon-Ki had switched lanes a few times, swiftly closing in on my tail.

I followed Choi Jun-Woo's Ramborghini with sweaty palms, determined not to lose sight of it. However, the sluggish pace of my van made it challenging for me to keep up with his speedy car.

"Argh, this damn van!"

Rumble rumble rumble.

"Come on, Super Vroom! Please don't give out on me now!"

I fervently hoped that my van, affectionately named Super Vroom by Miso, would not fall behind the Ramborghini. For the first time in my life, I found myself wishing for all the roads in Seoul to be completely jammed.

At that very moment, the traffic on Bongeunsa-ro miraculously began to congest, as if a deity had heard my wish.

***

Choi Jun-Woo was infuriated with the traffic jamming up the road—and that was when he spotted two familiar vans in the rearview mirror.

They were the vehicles that left the parking lot at the same time as he did.

Worried they might be reporters, Choi Jun-Woo started to drive faster.

"Damn it! They didn't get me on camera yet, did they?"

Choi Jun-Woo knew there would be no problem as long as he arrived home because the high-end Luchen Villa in Cheongdam-dong, where he lived, strictly prohibited external entry.

Choi Jun-Woo immediately swerved into the back alley and stepped on the accelerator.

Vroom!

The Ramborghini jerked noisily each time its low chassis hit a speed bump.

Crunch!

"Ah! Fuck!"

Choi Jun-Woo heard the sound of the car's undercarriage breaking apart, but he couldn't stop.

'I have to get out of here.'

That was all Choi Jun-Woo could think about.

At that moment, Han Yi-Seul, the rookie actress who had been drugged by Choi Jun-Woo with GHB, was about to open her eyes.

"Ugh..."

The multiple jolts from the speed bumps seemed to be bringing her back to consciousness.

Choi Jun-Woo cursed without realizing it. "Damn it!"

In the meantime, Han Yi-Seul, who had been unconscious from the GHB, began to fumble around with her feeble arms.

"Ah, damn it!! Why does this bitch have to wake up now of all times!?"

Choi Jun-Woo began to drive even more recklessly to get home as soon as possible.

Vroom!

The more he swerved, the more the car shook. And the more the car shook, the quicker Han Yi-Seul came to her senses.

"W-where... where am I?" Han Yi-Seul asked with eyes barely opened.

Choi Jun-Woo panicked and responded. "You're fine! Just sleep a little more! Please!"

"Huh? Choi... Jun-Woo sunbae-nim? But why am I here…?" Han Yi-Seul looked around in confusion.

In response, Choi Jun-Woo hastily spat out a lie. "You said you wanted to see my house, right? That's where we're heading. I'll wake you when we get there, so sleep for now."

"When did I say I wanted to see your house...?" Han Yi-Seul groggily questioned as her head began to spin in confusion.

Han Yi-Seul had just reached adulthood and had visited the club for the first time to celebrate a sunbae actress' birthday. Although she only drank juice, she found herself waking up next to the top star Choi Jun-Woo.

Han Yi-Seul felt a chill down her spine. She couldn't grasp the situation but had a hunch that something terrible would happen if she stayed in Choi Jun-Woo's car.

With tears streaming down her face, Han Yi-Seul begged to be let out. "P-please... let me... out. Please."

However, her drugged body wouldn't cooperate and her attempt to scream for help only resulted in feeble sounds. "Ugh... ah."

Just as her cries went unheard, she saw a police car approaching the Ramborghini from the side. Gasping for breath, she managed to press the button to lower the window after several failed attempts.

Whirrr.

Han Yi-Seul mustered all her strength to shout when the window lowered.

"Help...please…help me..."

Though barely audible, her face protruding from the window caught the attention of the police.

"Hey! Are you crazy? Keep your mouth shut!"

The startled Choi Jun-Woo reached out his right hand to cover Han Yi-Seul's mouth.

However, Han Yi-Seul bit down hard on Choi Jun-Woo's right hand with all her might.

Crunch!

"Arghhh! Fuck! You crazy bitch!"

Choi Jun-Woo's Ramborghini, which had been swaying from side to side, started hurtling towards the guardrail at a terrifying speed.

***

I continued to update Kang Gam-Chan on Choi Jun-Woo's location over the phone.

Then, a police car that zipped past me spotted Choi Jun-Woo's vehicle and began to accelerate.

Vroom!

'Yes! Thank goodness!'

The police car, which was much faster than my van, stuck close to Choi Jun-Woo's car.

Just when I thought I could relax now, Choi Jun-Woo's Ramborghini suddenly began to weave erratically.

Screeech!

"Huh..? Nooo!" All I could do was scream helplessly from inside my car as the distance between my van and the Ramborghini widened to about 50 meters.

At that critical moment, the police car pulled up alongside the Ramborghini and deliberately collided with it.

Bang!

Screech!

The sound of tires dragging was followed by the Ramborghini pushing the blocking police car onto the sidewalk.

Thud!

Both vehicles only came to a halt after hitting a roadside tree. Thankfully, the police car managed to slow down the Ramborghini and prevented a major disaster.

"That crazy bastard, Choi Jun-Woo!"

Smoke began to rise from the front trunks of the two collided cars.

As the driver's door of the Ramborghini swung open, Choi Jun-Woo stumbled out in an attempt to flee the scene.

Clunk!
