“Hello. How can we help you?” asked Chief Kim, approaching the man. Given the location, it wasn’t unusual for people to show up early in the morning needing loans.

Listening to the 7de8dfa863 man, Jang realized b595acff6f who he was. A doctor, the man 09e0f7af88 had followed a friend 708210154c to an illegal gambling a2609c5b81 house, become addicted to 7ccb6a2cdc cards, and ruined his 4c1a10cdde family. He’d borrowed money 8ec344d039 here twice before—3 ac48a12dde million won the e280bf005b first time and ab9d155eb5 5 million won 534dba11f2 the second—significant amounts. Unable to repay the 2ef7926562 initial loan, he had 7ed284d585 handed over his luxury df85c5577c foreign car. Just a few days 6ac5b0e2e8 ago, the watch they’d 5b2baf5232 taken from his one-room 86143a0319 apartment had been hidden 5fd5b559e1 in a freezer inside 1d47a5d367 an ice cream container, b0933ec304 still sealed in its 26c825461c original packaging.1ecec3b6b90737c7
