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

"Otherwise what? You old fool, at a time like this, you're still spouting this useless nonsense to me? All that money I spent supporting you was for nothing? You son of a bitch, do you think I, Chen Xianbi, am a good-for-nothing? If I die, you'll all be buried with me!"

Chen Xianbi also lost his temper and started yelling at Han, but unexpectedly, Minister Han hung up the phone, and the two parted on bad terms.

Chen Xianbi gritted his teeth and made another call to the others. The group of high-ranking officials and dignitaries who used to call him brother were now pretending to be dead and avoiding suspicion. Those with a conscience asked him to take the initiative to accept the investigation, while those without a conscience simply said they did not know him.

He was so angry he almost smashed his phone.

At this moment, seeing that her persuasion was ineffective, Xu Minying downstairs sent the police to forcibly break down the door and rush upstairs.

They caught Chen Xianbi red-handed.

"Chairman Chen, you've given us quite a search. What, you've packed your things and are trying to run away?" Xu Minying stepped out from among the police officers, coldly looking at Chen Xianbi and questioning him.

Chen Xianbi looked at the young and beautiful female prosecutor in front of him, slowly raised his hands, and pretended to be calm, saying:

“I don’t know what this beautiful prosecutor means. I, Chen Xianbi, am a law-abiding citizen who often does charity work and has contributed a lot of tax revenue and countless jobs to this country.”

"I also helped millions of South Koreans invest and manage their finances, allowing them to earn substantial interest. Why would I run away? I was just packing up my things at home."

"But what do you mean by forcibly breaking into my home without my consent?"

Seeing that Chen Xianbi was still pretending to be confused at this point, Xu Minying's cool and beautiful face showed a hint of mockery:

"Jin Hyun-pil, I am Seo Min-young, a prosecutor from the Financial Crime Division of the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office. I am now formally informing you that your involvement in money laundering, asset transfer, and pyramid scheme fraud has been exposed. Please come with us to the prosecutor's office for investigation."

Chen Xianbi, of course, denied it.

He argued, "Prosecutor Xu, you say I've committed so many crimes, shouldn't you at least produce evidence first? Are all prosecutors so domineering, convicting people based on just a single sentence? I'm not convinced! I want to see evidence!"

As a result, Xu Minying ignored his explanation and waved her hand behind her. Several policemen immediately stepped forward, grabbed Chen Xianbi's arm, and forcibly lifted him up.

"Damn it! Let me go! I want to see your leader! I want to call my lawyer..." Chen Xianbi struggled and twisted, cursing at the police officers, completely losing his composure.

Xu Minying, however, kept a cold face and said, "Stop yelling, Chen Xianbi. We have investigated everything you have done. As a fraudster, you have swindled so many South Koreans out of their hard-earned retirement savings. Don't you feel any remorse?"

Upon hearing Seo Min-young's words, Chen Hyun-pil looked furious and immediately put on a dramatic act, repeatedly explaining that he had not committed any fraud and that he was working for the benefit of the South Korean people by providing them with investment projects.

Investing involves risks, which is perfectly normal.

Besides, his company is operating well and thriving, and it's about to pay interest to investors. How could it be a fraudulent company?

If you arrest me now, the company will go bankrupt immediately. Then, those investors will not be able to get their money back, they will commit suicide, their families will be destroyed, and it will all be your fault!

He's stalling for time.

Xu Minying stopped talking and waved her hand, signaling the police to take him away. Chen Xianbi finally started to panic.

Just as the group arrived downstairs, Xu Minying was about to load them into the car and take them away.

Two more cars appeared downstairs at Chen Xianbi's house.

The door of the lead car opened, and a man with gold-rimmed glasses, a slightly overweight build, but exuding an air of superiority stepped out.

He wore a name tag similar to Xu Minying's, and accompanied by a chief of staff and several investigators, he arrived before Xu Minying without any hindrance, introducing himself as follows:

"Hello, I am Liang Dongzhe, section chief of the Strategic Department of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office. Chen Xianbi is suspected of serious crimes such as illegal fundraising, fraud and money laundering. The relevant leaders of our Supreme Prosecutor's Office attach great importance to this and have given important instructions, asking me to personally bring Chen Xianbi back to the Supreme Prosecutor's Office for interrogation. Please hand him over to me, Prosecutor Xu."

Upon hearing Liang Dongzhe's words, Xu Minying immediately frowned. Without hesitation, she refused: "Chief Liang, this case is currently handled by the Financial Crime Department of the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office. Chen Xianbi needs to come back to the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office with us for interrogation. After we have the results, we will transfer it to your Supreme Prosecutors' Office."

Liang Dongzhe, however, said forcefully, "Prosecutor Xu, our Supreme Prosecutor's Office wants people. Your Seoul District Prosecutors Office can't refuse. We are your superior department!"

Xu Minying argued forcefully: "Section Chief Liang, every prosecutor handles cases independently; this is a power granted to us by the Constitution! I have the right to refuse your Supreme Prosecutor's Office!"

Seeing that Xu Minying was unmoved by his words, Liang Dongzhe laughed in exasperation.

Holy crap! Where did this hotheaded girl come from?

Even Liang Dongzhe of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office didn't know!

He is a close confidant of Han Kang-sik, the head of the Strategic Department of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office!

Thanks to this status, he was always welcomed wherever he went, and even the chief prosecutor had to give him some face!

Xu Minying, a mere grassroots prosecutor, dared to defy him!

This made Liang Dongzhe very angry.

He stared at Xu Minying with a cold gaze, his voice carrying a warning and threat: "Prosecutor Xu, are you sure you want to stop us from releasing her?"

Xu Minying was determined to be an upright and incorruptible prosecutor, just like her oppa, who was not afraid of powerful figures. With her father, the chief prosecutor, backing her up, she was not afraid of Liang Dongzhe. So she refused in a firm tone, "I won't let him go!"

"Very good!" Liang Dongzhe sneered, then walked to the side and started making a phone call. He told Han Qiangzhi about Xu Minying's obstruction of his promotion. Han Qiangzhi casually said, "I will handle it," and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Liang Dongzhe looked at Xu Minying with a smug expression.

Not long after, Xu Minying's phone rang.

The person who called her was actually her father, Seo Jae-hyun, the chief prosecutor of the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office.

"Min-young, hand Chen Xianbi over to Prosecutor Liang Dongzhe first. Don't worry, you'll still be the final case handler, and the credit will be yours."

"The Supreme Prosecutor's Office wants to interrogate Chen Xianbi in order to uncover his network of connections. This is too complicated and involves several high-ranking officials at the ministerial level. You, as a girl, cannot handle this."

"Don't blame your father for not being on your side; your father is just protecting you..."

Xu Zaixian patiently persuaded her daughter in a gentle tone, explaining the pros and cons, and that the matter was too big for a junior prosecutor like her to easily get involved.

Xu Minying bit her lip lightly. Of course she knew her father wouldn't lie to her. Even he told her to take a step back, which meant that Chen Xianbi was far more troublesome than she had imagined.

But she really didn't want to give up.

Just as she was about to argue with her father, Xu Zaixian shut her down with a single sentence: "I heard you've been getting quite close to that kid from Criminal Investigation Department 3 named Li Chenghuan lately? Bring him over for a meal in a few days, your mother and I would like to meet him."

"Dad, how did you know..." Upon hearing her father reveal her relationship with Oppa, Xu Minying felt as if she had been hit where it hurt, and her pretty face instantly turned red.

"Hahaha, I'm your father! My own precious daughter is about to be kidnapped by some wild boy outside. If I didn't even know that, wouldn't I be a useless chief prosecutor?" Xu Zaixian joked.

With her father holding her back, Xu Minying was preoccupied with meeting her parents with her boyfriend and was no longer concerned about Chen Xianbi's situation.

After all, she's a hopeless romantic.

Even Chen Xianbi, who was involved in huge sums of money and was a money laundering fraud mastermind, was far less important to her than her oppa.

After hanging up the phone with her father, she resumed her aloof demeanor, her pretty face tense, and said to Liang Dongzhe expressionlessly:

"Section Chief Liang, Chen Xianbi can be transferred to you, but I hope you can return him to our Seoul District Prosecutors Office within three days. Our Financial Crimes Division spent countless efforts and time to finally catch this criminal, and you can't just take away our credit with a few words."

Liang Dongzhe casually waved his hand: "Prosecutor Xu can rest assured about this. Our Prosecutor's Office doesn't lack this kind of credit."

Watching helplessly as Chen Xianbi was taken away by Liang Dongzhe's men, a hint of resentment flashed in Xu Minying's beautiful eyes.

However, a higher-ranking official can have a significant influence, especially in the Procuratorate. If a higher-level department wants to poach someone, even Chief Prosecutor Xu Zaixian can't do anything about it.

Moreover, Liang Dongzhe was Han Qiangzhi's man.

However, she didn't come away empty-handed.

After Liang Dongzhe walked away, she directed her officers and investigators to search the entire villa thoroughly, turning it upside down.

Finally, they found a red-covered ledger in a hidden compartment in his desk.

Chen Xianbi, that cunning old fox, quickly hid the secret ledger in his hand after seeing Xu Minying surround the villa.

This way, even if he is arrested, he can still have a real backup plan, while publicly claiming that his account books have been stolen by Park Kang-kyun.

Liang Dongzhe had no idea about Chen Xianbi's ledger; he was simply following orders from his boss, Han Qiangzhi, to reap the rewards at the opportune moment.

They took away Xu Minying's victory without lifting a finger.

Little did they know that Xu Minying was no simple naive girl; no one who could pass the prosecutor's exam was a fool.

Xu Minying guessed that the ledger Park Kang-kyun stole was fake, and the real one must still be in Chen Xianbi's hands.

Therefore, even though Liang Dongzhe took Chen Xianbi away, the lack of crucial ledgers actually gave Chen Xianbi time to buy time and a trump card to save his life.

After the two groups left, several more figures emerged from a hidden corner.

Although the leader was wearing a mask, his tall stature and signature long ponytail made it clear that he was none other than Erbin's War God, Zhang Qian.

He frowned and said, "Why did Chief Li want us to release Chen Xianbi? This was a golden opportunity. Now that he's been taken away, you can't blame me for not doing my part."

"And that ledger, it's now in his girlfriend's hands, what should we do?"
