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

As night fell, it was time for the prosecutors to leave work.

Apart from those prosecutors who were on business trips and had cases to handle, all the prosecutors in the Criminal Division 3 received an invitation from Lee Seung-hwan.

He booked a high-end restaurant near Itaewon in Gangnam District to entertain his colleagues.

Regardless of what the prosecutors were thinking, they still had to maintain a facade of harmony, so almost no one was absent, even Park Tae-young, who hated Lee Seung-hwan the most, was present.

Afterwards, everyone naturally toasted and drank together.

"Dear seniors, thank you for gracing us with your presence. I will have much to learn from you all in the future, so please continue to support me!"

Lee Seung-hwan raised a glass of wine, lowered his posture, and toasted each of his colleagues in turn, accepting all the toasts offered to him.

Among them, Park Tae-young poured him drinks the most times.

It seems they wanted to get him drunk and embarrass him in public.

But to everyone's surprise, not only did he fail to get Lee Seung-hwan drunk, he himself ended up getting drunk like a dog.

South Koreans are known for their heavy drinking. Soju doesn't taste very good, and its alcohol content isn't high, but these people can really hold their liquor.

The group kept drinking until 11 p.m.

Most of the prosecutors were completely drunk.

Only Lee Seung-hwan remained sober. He personally arranged for the prosecutors' assistants to see their leader off to his car before taking Jung Jik-soo to open a restaurant.

The car is driving on the road.

As Zheng Zhishu drove, he glanced at his prosecutor's tired expression in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but ask with concern, "Prosecutor Li, you drank too much tonight. Some people were deliberately getting you drunk, especially that Prosecutor Park Tae-young. He seems to have a deep hostility towards you. He kept making sarcastic remarks and picking on you at the dinner table tonight. Did we offend him in some way?"

It must be said that Zheng Zhishu is a very qualified official as a practical person, and his ability to read people's expressions and moods is quite remarkable.

He didn't touch a drop of alcohol at the dinner party tonight, remaining a silent figure beside Lee Seung-hwan, only responsible for pouring him drinks.

Therefore, he carefully observed the attitude of each prosecutor in the room towards his own prosecutor.

Most of them were neither salty nor bland.

Neither warm nor distant.

On the surface, everything seemed harmonious, with people chatting and laughing.

In reality, he must have been secretly resentful that Lee Seung-hwan had gotten the position of chief prosecutor.

Based on seniority, many prosecutors in the Criminal Division 3 are qualified to be the chief prosecutor.

But Minister Choi Byung-sung chose Lee Seung-hwan instead.

This has left many people puzzled.

But they dared not question Choi Byung-seong, and could only suffer in silence.

Park Tae-young was the one who showed it most clearly.

Even Jung Jik-soo could see it, so Lee Seung-hwan certainly couldn't have been unaware. He scoffed, "Park Tae-young is obviously unhappy that I got the chief prosecutor position. Of course I know that, but what's done is done. I'm the one who got the promotion. What good is it if he's angry?"

"At best, he'll hide in a corner and trip me up later."

"If he knew that I risked my life to investigate members of Congress and tycoon chairmen in order to get the position of chief prosecutor, he probably wouldn't have dared to take the case from me."

"I don't even consider such a minor character a threat."

Zheng Zhishu felt honored by the strong confidence and self-assurance in Li Chenghuan's words.

For some reason, he felt that his prosecutor seemed like a completely different person these past two days, much more confident and assertive than before, as if he had suddenly become enlightened. His actions were unpredictable and full of profound meaning. As his confidant, Zheng Zhi keenly sensed that Li Chenghuan was about to make a move.

However, Lee Seung-hwan didn't bring it up. He wouldn't ask; he just needed to focus on completing the tasks assigned to him by his prosecutor.

As the two chatted, and they were about to reach their neighborhood, Li Chenghuan suddenly said, "Zhishu, turn left up ahead. There's a coffee shop nearby. I'm going to pick someone up."

"Yes."

The modern sedan turned at the intersection and headed towards the coffee shop.

Some say that South Koreans have only two things in their blood: soju and iced Americano.

We are both Asians.

South Koreans almost never drink hot water.

Regardless of the time of day, it's basically always a glass of iced Americano.

Or they might be addicted to alcohol.

Their per capita alcohol consumption is four times that of the United States and twice that of Canada, meaning they can drink more than the Russians.

Coffee shops are everywhere.

South Korean office workers drink at least two iced Americanos a day, some drink three or more, even in winter.

Some people say that South Koreans have evolved to lose sleep, sleeping only four hours a day and still having incredible energy. In reality, most of them rely on coffee to force themselves to stay awake and stay energized.

The Hyundai sedan eventually stopped in front of a Starbucks coffee shop that was about to close.

As Lee Seung-hwan got out of the car, he happened to see his sister-in-law, Han Yoo-hee, walking out of the coffee shop.

She was still wearing the same work outfit she wore that morning: a white shirt, a black blazer, an A-line skirt, and six-centimeter high heels, which made her look like a sophisticated urban woman and a professional career woman.

Just as he was about to greet his sister-in-law, several thugs suddenly jumped out from the side and harassed Han Youxi.

While blocking her way, they continued to harass her with words. Han Youxi's face turned red with anger, filled with shame, indignation, and resistance, and a hint of fear flashed through her eyes.

"You, what do you want to do?"

"I don't know you, and I won't go drinking with you!"

"Get out of the way, or I'll call the police."

The eldest sister-in-law was gentle and weak, and she didn't know how to curse. The warnings she spoke didn't frighten the thugs; instead, they excited them even more.

"Hahaha, beautiful lady, we just want to invite you for a drink, we won't do anything to you."

"Yes, you're such a beautiful woman, we just want to get to know you and have some conversations. We have no ill intentions."

"Hey beautiful, your husband's probably not home, right? It's so late and he hasn't come to pick you up. You must be so lonely. We brothers are thinking of taking you out for some excitement, to let you experience the fun of nightlife. Don't be so resistant..."

"Beautiful lady, stop resisting and come with us, hehehe..."

As they talked, they even tried to get their hands on the object.

Just then, the hand of a thug who was reaching out towards Han Youxi was caught halfway, then twisted and bent.

Click!

"Ow!!!"

The thug let out a violent scream, clutched his elbow, and immediately squatted down, writhing on the ground in pain and howling in agony.

This scene made the two thugs who had their backs to Lee Seung-hwan immediately realize what was happening and turn around. As a result, one of them was immediately punched by Lee Seung-hwan.

boom!

The punch left his entire face slightly dented, and his nose was fractured and collapsed on the spot. Snot and tears immediately flowed out. The thug also screamed and squatted down, covering his face.

The last thug was left standing there dumbfounded.

The man who suddenly appeared quickly and ruthlessly killed his two brothers, which made him feel somewhat afraid.

But being used to being tough and aggressive, he naturally refused to back down. He quickly pulled out a dagger from his pocket and threatened Li Chenghuan fiercely: "You bastard! Who are you? You actually injured two of my brothers. Believe me or not, I'll stab you to death!"

To everyone's surprise, Li Chenghuan completely ignored his threat, turned around and looked at Han Youxi with concern, saying with great worry, "Sister-in-law, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Han Youxi's initial panic subsided upon seeing Li Chenghuan.

Her pretty face was pale and relieved. She quickly grabbed Li Chenghuan's arm, as if only then could she feel safe. Then she said, "Chenghuan, you came just in time. These bastards kept harassing me, trying to make me drink with them. I was so scared. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do..."

"Don't be afraid, sister-in-law, I'm here." Li Chenghuan smiled calmly at Han Youxi, giving her an unprecedented sense of security.

Seeing that he was being ignored, the thug with the knife believed that Li Chenghuan was deliberately humiliating him. Enraged, he roared and tried to stab the two men with his dagger.

The result is the next second.

A cold pistol was pressed against his forehead.

"Try moving again?"
