At the end of episode 10 of Undercover High School, Jeong Hae-seong's 22-year search came to an end when he found his father's skeletal remains. The episode revealed that for a long time, Hae-seong and Oh Soo-ah believed the gold ingots were hidden in the secret passageway, under the statue of the founding president, but they didn't know what they would find there. Chairwoman Seo Myeong-joo still believed Hae-seong knew where the gold was hidden and was simply not telling anyone. She was hell-bent on using that gold to build her education city, and she didn't care what happened to the children who couldn't afford the 50% tuition increase.
So, let's find out what happened in episode 11: What did Hae-seong find out about his father's death? Did he manage to stop the chairwoman from ruining the children's lives? Hae-seong had been searching for his father for years, and finally found his body in the hidden passageway beneath the statue of Seo Byeong-mun. Obviously, Hae-seong was devastated, not because he had lost his father, but because he hadn't had the chance to say goodbye. For a long time, he had hoped his father was still alive, but that day he had the opportunity to close the chapter, something I don't think he ever wanted. I don't know what was worse: finally knowing his father was gone or living in the hope that one day he would return, even if it never happened. Hae-seong was put back together, and his father's skeleton was sent for autopsy.

Hae-seong found a bullet near his father's skeletal remains and realized he had likely been shot. When the forensic report came back, it was revealed the bullet was from a Glock 17, the type of weapon previously carried only by NIS agents. It was then that Ahn Seok-ho, the HW team leader, and Hae-seong realized that Director Kim had once filed a complaint about a stray bullet. They understood that the director was not only a traitor, but also a conniving and cunning man who had conspired with President Seo Myeong-joo and had also played a role in the death of Hae-seong's father. Hae-seong decided it was time to confront the director directly.
Hae-seong's entire team objected, but before they could do anything, Hae-seong came out to interrogate him. Director Kim had his men stationed outside his hotel room, but Hae-seong managed to elude them. Before he could ask questions or do anything, Director Kim's security arrived and arrested Hae-seong. Hae-seong would have been imprisoned that day if Ahn Seok-ho, along with Oh Soo-ah, Go Yeoung-hun, and Park Mi-jeong, hadn't arrived to support his cause. They managed to escape together, and it was then that Hae-seong told Ahn Seok-ho the real reason for his visit to Director Kim. He said he wasn't foolish enough to try to kill him. Hae-seong took the opportunity to hack into his phone so he could track his movements and listen to what he said to others. He knew the director would go to talk to the president about what had happened and probably about what had been done to his father.
Director Kim and the president believed that Jeong Jae-hyeon, Hae-seong's father, knew where the gold bars were kept. They wanted Jae-hyeon to tell them the location, but he didn't reveal anything until the end. In a flashback, we saw that it was the president who shot Jae-hyeon with Director Kim's gun, but he managed to escape and hide in the same secret passageway where his son found his skeleton 22 years later. Director Kim and the president were never able to find him, unaware of the existence of a secret passageway beneath the statue of the founding president. For years, they believed Jae-hyeon had hidden the gold somewhere and fled the country. In his final moments, Jae-hyeon realized he wouldn't survive. He had been shot in the stomach and had lost a lot of blood. Jae-hyeon wasn't afraid of dying. He knew his job required taking such risks, but what deeply troubled him was not being able to see his son again. The next day was Hae-seong's birthday, and he had promised he would wake him up. Jae-hyeon took his last breath in the hidden camera, and his sudden disappearance from his son's life forever changed his outlook on life.
Hae-seong called Director Kim and told him that he had heard everything he had said to the president when he went to confront her. So, as expected, right after Hae-seong left, Director Kim went to see the president. The conversation didn't go as Director Kim expected. He told the president that he would expose her and tell Hae-seong who she was.
At the end of episode 11 of Undercover High School, we saw that after Hae-seong's arrest, Detective Jo and his team went to his home to look for any evidence that could incriminate the president. Hae-seong had a copy of the recording where Director Kim blamed the president for Jeong Jae-hyeon's murder; before Ahn Seok-ho and his team could retrieve it, Jo arrived and snatched it away. The president, highly satisfied with Detective Jo's prudence and loyalty, asked her assistant to compensate him for his services.
The president went to see Hae-seong while he was detained and asked him where he had hidden the gold bars. She believed Hae-seong and his father knew the exact location of the gold, but Hae-seong told her that her obsession had made her delusional. The president warned Hae-seong that if he didn't give her any information, he would hurt his loved ones. She left after giving the ultimatum, and that's when Hae-seong realized he had to do something, as being in police custody wasn't good for him. He knew what kind of person he was dealing with and what she was capable of. So, in the end, Hae-seong decided to escape.
While being transferred to another location, he tried to escape, but unfortunately, the driver lost control of the vehicle and had an accident. Somehow, Hae-seong managed to get out of the van and crawl to the nearest phone booth. He called Oh Soo-ah, but before he could tell her where he was, he lost consciousness. Soo-ah will have to find Hae-seong before the president's men catch him again. The only way out for the entire NIS team was to find the gold and keep it from falling into the wrong hands. Hae-seong knew he was very close to solving the mystery, and I believe that in the season finale, he will be able to do so and finish what his father had started.
