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

"Minister Cui, can you tell me where the money for this wall came from? It can't all have been bribed by me, can it?"

In front of everyone, Lee Seung-hwan pulled out a stack of bright green US dollars from a cabinet, casually flipped through them a few times, and showed them to everyone.

It's all real money!

"Who hid this money in my bookshelf? I had no idea!"

Sweating profusely, with a darting gaze, Choi Byung-seong tried to explain to the crowd, "I, Choi Byung-seong, have always lived a life of extreme caution and integrity. How could I possibly embezzle? This is definitely someone trying to frame me!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chenghuan sneered and questioned, "Oh? So you admit this is your bookshelf!"

"Minister Cui, do you really not know where the money for this wall came from?"

Choi Byung-sung wiped his sweat: "Of course..."

At this moment, Mu Xianmin, standing in the crowd, sarcastically remarked, "The head of the dignified Criminal Investigation Department 3, instead of upholding the law, betrays and frames his subordinates."

"They colluded with certain organizations or forces with ulterior motives to pin the blame on Prosecutor Li for the violent interrogation that drove a prisoner to his death, and even tried to force him to suspend his duties and reflect on his actions. In the end, he was publicly humiliated."

"When one plan failed, they devised another, claiming that Prosecutor Li was suspected of bribing his superiors, and exaggerating the worthless local products into a huge sum of millions of US dollars."

"Now everyone can see that Prosecutor Li delivered genuine local specialties, not embezzled funds, yet you remain silent. And when Prosecutor Li revealed this wall of cash, Minister Cui, you claimed to know nothing about it."

"You've really mastered the double standard, and you've done it so dirty! Even I, a reporter, can't stand it anymore."

"It's truly a blessing for prosecutors like Prosecutor Lee to have such a dedicated and responsible chief prosecutor like you in Seoul..."

Upon hearing this, Choi Byung-seong nearly vomited blood in anger.

Although what she said was true, it was still too harsh to say out loud. Didn't Choi Byung-sung have any pride?

Mu Xianmin's words received widespread support, and most of the reporters present agreed that what he said made sense.

As for the viewers who watched the entire live stream, they were absolutely thrilled.

"Damn it! I knew it long ago that Minister Cui was no good. He even falsely accused Prosecutor Li of bribing his superior. I think this old bastard is just angry because Prosecutor Li didn't bribe him!"

"That makes sense! How much cash must there be on this wall? At least a hundred million US dollars, right? Are prosecutors paid that much?"

"Holy crap! How is that possible? Although prosecutors' salaries are much higher than those of ordinary people, and their benefits are better, even if they worked for 100 years, they couldn't possibly earn 1 million US dollars!"

"Damn it! It must have been obtained through embezzlement and bribery. Who would be so idle as to leave $1 million in their own bookshelf?"

"That old bastard Cui Bingcheng actually framed our Prosecutor Li! He's utterly shameless! I think he's the one who should be dismissed and investigated!"

……

In Choi Byung-sung's study.

Lee Seung-hwan's lips curled into a sneer:

"According to Minister Cui, you have an enemy who, in order to frame you, has meticulously planned and bypassed your home's surveillance system. The nanny, wife, and daughters are infiltrating your home."

"Through exploration and design, he used drills and chisels to break through and hollow out the walls of your house, and installed sliding bookshelves, without alerting anyone."

"Finally, he hauled a truckload of cash, avoided the living people in your family, and hid it in your bookshelf, all without anyone noticing. He managed to fool even you, the minister and prosecutor, right?"

“No… we can’t rule out that possibility… there might be bad people among the crowd…” After hearing this, Choi Byung-sung broke out in a cold sweat. He trembled all over, his legs went weak, and he could only be supported by Han Yun-ho, the executive officer, to prevent himself from collapsing.

"You're talking nonsense!" Li Chenghuan cursed mercilessly.

"I used to call you Minister Cui because I always thought of you as an upright and incorruptible senior who upheld the beliefs of a prosecutor!"

"I never imagined that you would not only betray the ethical standards of a prosecutor and embezzle and accept bribes of such a huge amount, but also betray your subordinates and try to frame me. Do you even deserve to be called a prosecutor?"

"You betrayed your beliefs as a prosecutor, betrayed your loyal subordinates, betrayed your class, betrayed the people, formed cliques, and willingly became someone else's lackey. Even now, you are still trying to justify yourself and refuse to admit your mistakes. Do you still have any respect for the law? Do you still have any respect for this country?!"

Lee Seung-hwan's angry shout completely stunted Choi Byung-sung, causing him to collapse to the ground.

Facing the reporters' cameras.

He faced the disdainful looks from everyone.

He completely lost his composure and could no longer hold back.

She burst into tears in front of everyone.

"Woo..."

His face was streaked with tears, his whole body trembled, and his eyes were filled with despair as he tried to make a final attempt to defend himself.

"I, I, I didn't dare spend a single penny of this money!"

"I am the son of a fisherman. I was terrified of poverty when I was young, so I kept telling myself that I must study hard and make something of myself."

"Since I passed the prosecutor's exam and gained power, I gradually became arrogant because I met too many rich people, but they were all obsequious and fawning over me."

“Every day people tried to bribe me. At first, I pretended to be high-minded and refused, but gradually, I became tempted…”

“I would take the money they offered. At first, I felt guilty, but after taking it so many times, I became numb to it. I just like the feeling of counting money. I can only fall asleep if I count money every day.”

"I just didn't dare to spend it. I felt that as long as I didn't spend it, no one would be able to find out... I, I was really wrong, sob sob sob..."

Despite his advanced age, Choi Byung-sung collapsed on the ground, crying like a child, recounting his emotional journey over the years, completely devoid of the dignity befitting a minister and prosecutor.

Lee Seung-hwan listened expressionlessly, then threw a receipt at Choi Byung-sung's face.

"Don't tell me that you bought these villas, luxury cars, and more than a dozen shops in Gangnam District in the United States without spending a penny, and that they were gifts from others."

"If it wasn't bought in your name, then it doesn't count, right?"

"Damn it! Choi Byung-sung, you're still acting!"

"Is it because you're afraid to spend money?"

"You have so much money you can't spend it all!"

"I am deeply ashamed to have a parasite like you in the ranks of prosecutors!"

You've completely disgraced the prosecutors!

Faced with Lee Seung-hwan's harsh reprimand, Choi Byung-seong's expression was incredibly complex, showing surprise, shame, and embarrassment...

He also tried to find excuses for himself and save face.

As a result, Lee Seung-hwan didn't leave him any face or dignity at all!

"Section Chief Jin, what's your opinion on this matter?"

After Lee Seung-hwan finished speaking, he turned to look at Kim Jun-hyun.
