If I make you a prosecutor, are you going to be the president of South Korea?

"Sigh, being a prosecutor is so tough. We have to work hard for the people every day and don't have any time to rest at all. Planting trees, don't you think?"

The next day, on the way back to the prosecutor's office from Lee Ji-eun's house, Lee Seung-hwan complained to his subordinates.

Zheng Zhishu, who was driving: "..."

Is that what you call working for the people? You're clearly working for the people!

I don't even want to talk to you!

Damn it, I'm the only one with a really miserable life. I sleep later than a dog every day, and I have to drive to my boss's place to wait for him as soon as it's light.

Zheng Zhishu's eyes were filled with tears. Li Chenghuan thought his subordinate was moved by him, so he patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Zhishu, work hard, and I'll find you a wife next year!"

"Yes!" Zheng Zhishu responded subconsciously, but quickly realized, "What does it have to do with me if you marry a sister-in-law?"

After returning to the prosecutor's office.

Lee Seung-hwan walked into his office, looked around, and felt like something was missing.

He only realized what was happening after he sat down.

It seems I'm still missing a secretary!

He had arranged with Xinyu to be his secretary, but she dared to stand him up.

Lee Seung-hwan planned to settle the score with her after get off work!

Before he could even settle in, he was summoned to the minister's office again.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with him, Cui Bingcheng said with a serious expression, "Chenghuan, how's your investigation into the illegal loan case going? That important person is pressing you hard lately, and you don't have much time left."

"I repeatedly assured that important person that I would definitely obtain evidence of Councilor Zhang and Chairman Wu's illegal and criminal activities within two months. What do you say to that?"

Li Chenghuan was already prepared and handed him another tattered ledger: "Minister, this is the second illegal loan ledger and documents that I found. It contains a lot of crucial evidence, as well as information on the whereabouts of some of the loans."

"More importantly, I have found out the whereabouts of the bank president who approved Chairman Wu's loan application and am preparing to launch a transnational manhunt to extradite him back to China."

"As long as we bring the person back, even if we only have half a torn ledger, it doesn't matter. With witness testimonies, we can have him appear in court to identify Chairman Wu and Councilor Zhang. Even if they try to deny it, they'll be embroiled in public controversy and their reputations will plummet..."

As Cui Bingcheng listened to Li Chenghuan's plan, he took the tattered ledger and nodded in satisfaction as he looked at it: "Chenghuan, I knew you wouldn't disappoint me. You're right, I didn't misjudge you. After this matter is settled, I will take you to meet that important person. As long as you can gain his favor, your future is promising!"

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief. With these two sets of accounts, he could finally give Representative Kim an explanation.

After leaving the minister's office.

Lee Seung-hwan frowned. He guessed that Representative Kim was getting anxious. He had tricked Kim into handing over the Kimmun Group without Kim's knowledge, but Kim must be furious.

Representative Kim's backing is far less powerful than Representative Jang's, so now he can only pin his hopes on this illegal loan case. Just now, Choi Byung-sung said he would only give him two more months.

If he doesn't produce crucial evidence within these two months, Choi Byung-sung will lose patience with him, and it will be difficult for him to gain Choi Byung-sung's trust and support in the future.

Before he could completely curry favor with his cheap father-in-law, Lee Seung-hwan didn't want to break ties with Choi Byung-sung.

But this old guy, he just hides behind the scenes and does nothing, only thinking about making him the one to take the lead and face a presidential candidate and a chaebol chairman all by himself. Isn't that nonsense?

He doesn't want to die yet.

This is why he has been making plans and schemes in many ways since he transmigrated. Taking down Xu Minying was a way to secure his future. Having a chief prosecutor as a father-in-law is something even a presidential candidate would have to be wary of and wouldn't dare to disrespect.

Taking control of the Kinmen Group means that Lee Seung-hwan has gained some confidence to overturn the table; if things can't be agreed upon on the table, then there's no point in discussing them anymore.

However, the Kinmen Group was not a force he personally created. Even if he controlled Lee Ja-sung, he still had to be wary of him, since people's hearts are unpredictable.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to build up one's own trusted team.

Currently, his only truly reliable confidants are the executive officer Zheng Zhishu, Jin Jiunan who specializes in doing the dirty work, and the Yanbian F4. In particular, he doesn't need to worry about Jin Jiunan and the Yanbian F4 betraying him; as long as they are paid enough, they will be fine.

As for Park Shin-woo and Moon Dong-eun, they are not of any use for the time being, but Mu Hyun-min might bring him a pleasant surprise.

There's also Ahn Sang-gu, who switched allegiance to Lee Seung-hwan and has now returned to the Seven Star Gang with a group of his former trusted followers. He's become close with Choi Sung-hoon, the vice president of the Seven Star Gang who succeeded Park Eun-ki.

The Seven Stars Gang is currently severely fractured and in complete disarray.

Li Jiangxi, their common leader, completely lost control of the Seven Star Gang and became a lone commander.

Now, without his right hand and without the Seven Star Gang's sharp blade, his status in the Insider Alliance has plummeted, and he hates Li Chenghuan to the core.

Although he had no evidence to suggest that Lee Seung-hwan was responsible for all of this.

But his intuition told him that it was undoubtedly Lee Seung-hwan's doing.

He has now placed all his hopes on the assassins sent by Mk Company. With the seven days coming to an end, that bastard Lee Seung-hwan must die!

…………

That evening, Lee Seung-hwan wanted to deepen his relationship with Seo Min-young.

Instead, he received a mysterious text message inviting him to a party, complete with an address.

This greatly surprised Lee Seung-hwan.

He did not inherit any memories of this kind from the original owner, but he remembered that when he checked the original owner's property when he first transmigrated, he found that he often transferred money to a certain bank account, including all the money he had received from Shi Dongchu over the years.

He didn't have the time or energy to investigate at the time.

Now it seems that the whereabouts of that money might be related to this mysterious gathering?

Follow the location given in the text message.

Lee Seung-hwan quickly arrived at a private club in Yongsan District, where a hostess led him into the banquet hall.

On the way, Lee Seung-hwan asked his assistant, Jung Jik-soo, and finally filled in the last missing piece of the original owner's memory.

It turns out that the organization that started this gathering was a mutual aid group that the original owner had once joined, called the Tongxin Society.

It means to work together with one heart and one mind.

This Tongxin Association doesn't have many members, only about a dozen or twenty.

However, each of them is considered an elite, but they are all young talents from humble backgrounds who have not achieved success in their respective circles and lack social status or background.

There were prosecutors, lawyers, local councilors, and military officers.

The Tongxin Society's mission is to recruit members who also come from impoverished or poor families, and who are often bullied and oppressed by their superiors and colleagues, have their promotion opportunities snatched away, and are frustrated and unfulfilled.

After joining this organization, we stick together, help each other, and when one of us is in trouble, we contribute money or effort. In short, if a brother is in trouble, we must help him.

The goal is to develop the Tongsim Society into the most successful elite clique in South Korea, producing several truly high-ranking officials, such as prosecutors, members of parliament, and generals.

The Tongxin Association holds a gathering once a month to deepen the bonds between members, help each other, brainstorm solutions to difficulties encountered by members.

When Li Chenghuan led Zheng Zhishu into the banquet hall, they found that quite a few people had already arrived and were chatting in small groups.

"Aigoo! Look who's here, everyone! Let's welcome the chief prosecutor of the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office's Criminal Division 3, our like-minded partner, Lee Seung-hwan!"

Lee Seung-hwan's appearance attracted the attention of all the members, who, led by a bespectacled man who appeared to be the leader, clapped, laughed, and cheered.

After being reminded by Zheng Zhishu, Li Chenghuan also learned the identity of the bespectacled young man who was leading the group.

Lee Myung-bo, who comes from a poor family, is currently a section chief at the Seoul High Prosecutors' Office and the initiator and organizer of the Tongxin Association.

His position is also the highest among all the current members.

Faced with the good-natured laughter of his like-minded comrades, Li Chenghuan smiled and nodded to each of them, saying, "Brothers, it's been a long time."

Lee Seung-hwan is now the chief prosecutor of the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office, and his position in the Tongxin Association is considered to be in the upper-middle level. In addition, the original owner of this body was very generous and invested a lot of money in the Tongxin Association, and many members of the Tongxin Association have received his assistance.

After all, although these people all had some power, they came from humble backgrounds, and the nature of their positions meant they couldn't make much money off them. In contrast, Li Chenghuan had the Jinmen Group behind him, which made a lot of money, and he made great contributions to the growth and expansion of the Tongxin Society.

Therefore, he is very popular within the organization.

Soon, members came over to chat with him and reminisce. As more and more new members arrived, the atmosphere became very lively.

Until the last member of the Tongxin Society arrived.

Li Mingbo, the initiator and president, raised his wine glass, looked around, and shouted to everyone: "Brothers, let us work together with one heart and one mind to toast to our bright futures!"

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

Everyone responded.

Lee Seung-hwan mingled in the crowd, watching the spirited Lee Myung-bo, but all he could think about was how to replace him.

"Damn it! I put in the money and the effort, I should be the one to enjoy this glory first!"

[Godfathers, this is a Korean variety show, the timeline is consistent, so don't take it too seriously. Also, I'd like to ask for some small gifts first, please don't force me to kneel down for you! Waaaaah!]
