Chapter 435: Season 2 Book 17 Advance and Defense – 5-4 Step on the Tail

On December 5, 2023, at 15:00 (New China time 14:00),

Changping-gu, Beijing, New China (temporary residence of the National Intelligence Service’s special security department).

It was not difficult to hack the external network server in the president’s room. However, the difficulty was in taking preventative measures to prevent the source of the hacking from being tracked even if it was discovered.

So, during the last few days, Namgoong-won penetrated the president room’s external network server across 50 countries to conceal the source of the hacking and infected the server with various malicious codes to avoid detection.

They will not be able to know for the time being that the president’s room external network server has been hacked, but they will definitely notice it later and will immediately begin tracking it down. However, the operation would have already ended by then, and even if they had tracked down the origin of the hacking to Beijing after tracking over 50 countries, he and his team would be already left.

After completing these preliminary procedures, he began hacking and worked tirelessly to obtain the information he desired from the DB server that had penetrated from the president room’s external network server.

Just as Namgoong-won, the other two special security agents searched the DB server to find the information they needed.

“We have ten minutes, and we must exit the server at least one minute before that.”

Namgoong-won issued orders to the two special security agents next to him while tapping on the keyboard at the speed of light. Assistant manager Na Sung-hyun raised his hands and cheered at that moment.

“I found it, I found it. Number 12 DB, Data Files 16.”

As a result, Nam Gung-won and chief Kim Young-kyun approached assistant manager Na Sung-hyun and looked at his laptop screen.

“Assistant Manager Na! Because we don’t have time, only download the important information. Do you understand?”

“Yes, sir.”

At the request of Namgoong-won, assistant manager Na Sung-hyun used his mouse to select and check each folder before dragging the most important file into his USB folder.

The remaining time until the download is complete was indicated as a percentage. And in terms of time, it will take 5 minutes to complete.

“Why is it taking too long?”

The download time was longer than what he expected.

“It’s because we had to download it through more than 50 countries. There’s nothing we can do about this.”

After five minutes the download was completed.

“Chief Kim! Did you install the backdoor program?”

“Yes, manager!”

“Okay! Everyone, get out of the server!”

Namgoong-won and his group, who succeeded in hacking within only a week, decided to move their accommodation in case they were tracked down.

“Did you all pack up”?

“Yes, we`ve done.”

“Let’s move then!”

Namgung-won and his group moved to the New World Beijing Hotel on this day, which is also well-known in Beijing. The intention was to stay in an unexpected places in case of being pursued and to avoid the suspect, similar to the saying “it’s dark under the lamp.”

Namgoong-won and his group began analyzing the information they discovered as soon as they arrived at their destination.

On December 5th, 2023, 20:30 (Macao time: 19:30),

Senado Square in Macau Special Zone, Republic of China.

Macau, which was once known as a special administrative district, was directly influenced by President Xi Jinping’s anti-corruption movement, and as a result, it was transformed into a cultural and recreational tourist destination, and the casino industry flourished again as the Republic of China gained independence. As a result, brilliant casino buildings were built around Senado Square in Macau’s old city, and it became known by the Las Vegas of the East due to its 24-hour nightlife and colorful neon signs.

Two days ago, the first, second, and third foreign intelligence teams who arrived in Macao from Hong Kong wandered around the casinos and famous hotel casinos looking for traces of Jjang Chun.

“There are numerous. Phew! When will I ever be able to visit a place like this on vacation? ”

Team Leader Yoon Tae-jin, who came out to the plaza for some fresh air after having a late dinner with the team, muttered as if bemoaning his luck. assistant manager Jeon Ki-won, who was resting next to him, smiled and said.

“kkkk. Don’t say that in front of Team Leader Park. You will have another fight.”

“Team leader Park, why?”

“Team leader Park was on vacation when you came here on business trip last time, and he kept making fun of you. Don’t you remember?”

“Oh! That’s right. Hahaha. By the way, where is our Park Gi-oong?”

“I talked to Assistant Manager Yang on the phone while we were having dinner, and he said they were going around the Venetian Hotel casino.”

“Really? Then let us go as well! We need to go around two more places today before returning to the dorm.”

“Yes, Assistant manager Oh, and chief Yoo. Let’s go!”

“Yes.”

<hr />

On December 5, 2023, 21:00 (20:00 Macau time),

Macau Special District, Republic of China, a casino at the Sands Cotai Venetian Hotel.

The Venetian Hotel’s casino was packed with tourists from all over the world. who sat in front of hundreds of tables of various games, enjoying the game while arguing with the customer next to them and, on occasion, with the dealers.

If they had come here for a vacation, it would have appeared to be a real fun and enjoyable heaven, except for Team One of foreign intelligence agents who were wandering around the casino looking for a man named Jjang Chun. It felt like hell.

As they didn’t know anything about Jjang Chun other than his name, they couldn’t tell how he looked, or even his age.

<ul>

Team leader! Isn’t this just a suffering?

</ul>

The communication was sent by assistant manager Yang Jung-suk, who was looking at the game room with over 1,000 slot machines.

-For the time being, just take pictures of all the guys over the age of 20, don’t miss anyone!

<ul>

I’ll do that, but how about starting in earnest tomorrow, when detailed data from Hong Kong arrives? I don’t think this is right, no matter how hard I think about it.

</ul>

-Okay. Let’s look around for another 30 minutes and go back to the dorm!

-Okay.

While exchanging the communications, team leader Park Gi-oong naturally wandered around and captured the faces of male customers on a camera mounted on his glasses.

Half an hour later, the Team One of foreign intelligence agents who had been roaming in the floor gathered in the casino lobby.

“Assistant Manager Yang, go back to the dorm with the members. Organize the photos we took today and get some rest!”

“What about you, Team Leader?”

“I’ll check the VIP floor before I leave.”

“Ah! Then let’s do it together. You can’t be the only one suffering, right?

“No, you should go first. Anyway, the VIP floor has a minimum amount that you should carry, so we won’t all be able to enter. I’ll go alone, and you should go to the dorm right away.”

“Oh, okay.”

Team leader Park Gi-oong, who was left alone after sending his teammates to the dorm, took a step forward.

“How much does it cost to use the VIP floor here?”

“Sir! It’s over $3,000.”

The employee informed him of the bare minimum of possession. As a result, he held out 30 $100 bills from his wallet. In response, the employee gave him an upward smile and a casual greeting with a small box of various colored coins.

“Guest! I wish you all the best. Thank you.”

“Yes, I hope so. Haha.”

Team leader Park Gi-oong answered as if he was a tourist and headed to the VIP floor with the coin box.

The various patterns and ornaments decorated in gold on the staircase leading up to the VIP floor piqued his interest. As he ascended the stairs, several huge bodyguards stood guard at the VIP floor entrance, and one of them stopped him and said,

“Guest! Let me check for a moment.”

“Yes, please.”

He opened his hands after handing the coin box to the bodyguard standing next to him. The other bodyguard then scanned team leader Park Gi-oong’s body with a portable metal detector.

“There is nothing wrong. I hope you have a great time.”

“Yes, thank you.”

When he passed the entrance, another new world unfolded in front of him. As expected, it was the VIP floor. Unlike the game rooms used by ordinary tourists, the interior decoration was luxurious, and the employees and dealers who served various drinks and whiskey looked somehow different. In addition, all the guests entering and exiting the VIP floor looked wealthy.

“Well, well.”

Team leader Park Gi-oong, who was overwhelmed by the unfolded sight for a while, coughed and began to look around slowly, unsure of what kind of game he should play.

He wandered around every corner for about 30 minutes photographing all the faces of the VIP guests, and finally he sat down at the black jack table, the only one he knew.

It was to avoid suspicion from CC cameras and bodyguards mounted everywhere.

Team leader Park Gi-oong, who sat at a table with five other people, including a middle-aged couple, a young Western man, and a Japanese man muttering in Japanese, took part in the game with his coin box on the table.

He raised $100 worth of coins from the beginning before the dealer turned the card, Black Jack is a simple game in which the person who scores 21 points or the closest to that score wins.

When he was walking around the VIP floor and looking closely, he noticed that the basic bet was at least $100.

The rest of the guests followed suit, placing their bet coins one by one. The Chinese couple on the left, in particular, raised $1,000 in coins.

After a while, when all the customers raised their betting amount, the dealer quickly turned the card to the left, and soon two cards went to the customer, and the dealer showed what his two cards were.

Heart Queen was the first card, and Clover 8 was the second. It was an ambiguous score of 18 points. Team leader Park Gi-oong, who had been debating whether to hit or stand, looked at the dealer and lightly tapped the table, saying it is a hit. In terms of probability, there was a high chance of being burst for more than 21 points.

‘Well, I didn’t come here to get money, so let`s just go for it.’ With that thought he shouted.

The rest of the customers said it was a stand, and the dealer also did not receive additional cards. In other words, the dealer scored more than 17 points. Anyway, team leader Park Gi-oong, who received one more card, carefully checked the third card. It was Clover 3. It was Black Jack with a total of 21 points.

The dealer scored 20 points, the rich Chinese couple scored 18 points and 19 points, the Western men and women also scored 19 points and 17 points, the Japanese scored 16 points.

Team leader Park Gi-oong, who received 1.5 times the bet amount, received applause from several customers and began to rise from the first round.

An hour later, while winning about $2,000 in black jack for the first time at a casino in practice other than a PC game, team leader Park Gi-oong noticed several groups taking the elevator in the center of the hall, escorted by security guards.

A total of four groups took the elevator, their accessories and clothing indicating that they were unusual customs.

Team leader Park Gi-oong asked the manager behind the dealer.

“Where does the elevator in the middle of that hall go?”

“That’s the elevator to the VVIP room.”

“VVIP room?”

“Yes, it’s a special game room that only our casino VVIP members use.”

“Oh! I see.”

After 30 minutes, team leader Park Gi-oong said he would finish the game and stood up with his coin box.

His original $3,000 coin had grown to $5,400. Team leader Park Gi-oong, who had received an unexpected bonus, walked straight to the elevator leading to the VVIP room.

As he approached the elevator, the bodyguards on both sides raised their hands and stopped him, as expected.

“Guest, this elevator is only for our hotel’s VVIP members.”

“Oh! I’m sorry. Haha, out of curiosity.”

A man passing by while rubbing his back approached at that moment, and the bodyguards politely greeted him and guided him to the elevator. The man, who is treated in the exact opposite manner as Park Gi-oong, turned his head slightly and looked at team leader Park Gi-oong before entering the elevator.

Team leader Park Gi-oong could see that he was an unusual person, with a strong impression and a short haircut, and he could feel his powerful stare even though his eyes were covered by sunglasses.

Team leader Park Ki-woong had a strong impression of the man going upstairs and wanted to follow him, but he turned back to avoid unnecessary actions.

After capturing the faces of the VIP guests who wandered around from time to time even during the black jack game, he went to Exchange and exchanged his coins for dollars.

And after winning approximately 2.4 million won in Korean currency, he finally took a taxi and headed to the dorms where his team members were staying..
