Go Gun-Woo turned off the TV and set the remote control down on the side of his desk.

“Using Mr. Seok’s shout at the end, I think we can negotiate behind the scenes… Why don’t we try to talk to Vasili in Mongolia?”
With Kang Chan gone, the realization hit him again. The head of South Korea’s National Intelligence Service was not even in a position to meet with Vasili. It was painful and embarrassing, but the reality was sobering.
“Director, why don’t you go see former Ambassador Lanok in the hospital first? He has a direct line to Vasili. We’ve established friendly relations with him, and he’s just in the Bangji Hospital, so I’m sure you can request a meeting right away,” Kim Hyung-Jung suggested.
Go Gun-Woo’s face lit up. “Good idea. Let’s make an appointment with him.”
“We need to know how Mr. Seok and Choi Jong-Il will confess. Coming clean by saying that we ordered the assassination is something we need to consider.”
Go Gun-Woo exhaled loudly. “Hmm.”
He had gotten ahead of himself. He had never done anything of this magnitude before and he was far too inexperienced. His connections in the intelligence world were too few and far between.
