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

She lay quietly by the hospital bed, her long, flowing hair cascading down smoothly, with a few stray strands playfully clinging to her fair cheeks.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and beneath her delicate nose, her pink lips were gently pursed, exuding a captivating beauty.

Because she was facing the door of the ward from the side, Lee Seung-hwan could clearly see half of her body curves, especially her perfectly rounded buttocks.

In short, she is an extremely beautiful girl.

"Damn it, that old bastard Choi Byung-sung has such a beautiful daughter, why didn't he introduce her to me sooner? If you had told me earlier, would I have been so ruthless to you?"

Lee Seung-hwan mentally grumbled, then casually closed the ward door and walked straight to Choi Byung-sung's bedside.

The noise from locking the door clearly startled the beautiful figure lying by the bed. She raised her drowsy head and looked at the person who had entered.

When she saw the face of the tall, handsome man in a suit, with deep, powerful eyes, a hint of fear and dread immediately welled up in her beautiful eyes.

Clearly, she recognized Lee Seung-hwan's identity.

"You, you're Prosecutor Li?"

Choi Seol-ri has always had a bad relationship with her father, Choi Byung-sung. Since her mother's death, she has blamed her mother's death on her irresponsible father, who is always out socializing and neglecting his family.

In particular, she had personally witnessed Choi Byung-sung having an indecent encounter with the family's young nanny, so she moved out of the house early on and has been living outside ever since.

Moreover, in order to rebel against her father and refuse the life he had arranged for her, she enrolled in an art university and chose acting as her major, intending to enter the entertainment industry as an actress after graduation.

This move severely angered Choi Byung-sung, a minister and prosecutor with considerable power, whose daughter was going to become an actress.

Choi Byung-sung flew into a rage, gave Choi Seol-ri a severe scolding, and sternly warned her that if she dared to enter the entertainment industry, he would sever his father-daughter relationship with her.

Unexpectedly, Choi Sulli was even more rebellious. Not only did she insist on going her own way, but she was also more determined to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. She even participated in the filming of some TV dramas during her junior year internship.

She became a trainee very early on, wanting to compete to become a member of a girl group. After two and a half years of hard training, she actually succeeded.

She not only debuted as a sub-vocalist of a girl group, but also became the visual center of the group due to her outstanding looks.

She participated in many variety shows and award ceremonies, and won some awards, gaining some popularity.

This infuriated Choi Byung-sung.

While vowing never to care about her life or death again, he secretly sent people to take care of Cui Xueli, preventing many powerful figures from reaching for the clutches of this innocent and beautiful girl.

Choi Sulli thought she had gotten to where she was today entirely because of her hard work. Just when she thought she could become a big star and a top girl group member in South Korea, bad news came.

Her father's trusted secretary, Han Yunhao, called her and told her that Choi Byung-sung had been arrested for embezzlement and bribery, and that his home contained a huge amount of property of unknown origin!

She was rehearsing dance with her girl group members when she heard the news and was stunned.

Despite her dislike for her father, he was still family. So, Choi Sulli abandoned her dance rehearsals, asked her agency for leave, and rushed home.

But Choi Byung-sung had already been taken away by the Ministry of Supervision, and she couldn't see him at all. Anxious and worried, Choi Seol-ri waited at home all night.

She also learned from her father's trusted advisor, Han Yunhao, that her father had always cared about her, but he hadn't said it. Instead, he had been quietly using his network of connections to help her achieve her dreams step by step.

Otherwise, how could a girl with no background or connections get acting roles right after graduation? How could she be selected for a girl group?

It was all thanks to Choi Byung-sung who was helping her!

Upon learning the truth, Choi Seol-ri was filled with remorse, and all her resentment towards her father vanished. Now, all she wanted was to see her father and apologize to him.

But even Han Yunhao couldn't get in touch with his department head.

Around midnight, Choi Seol-ri received a phone call informing her that her father had failed in his suicide attempt and was being treated at Asan Hospital, and that she was allowed to visit him.

So Choi Seol-ri rushed to the hospital and waited until dawn to finally see Choi Byung-sung, who was out of danger. Having stayed up all night, she couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep by Choi Byung-sung's bedside.

When I woke up, I saw Lee Seung-hwan.

A flicker of fear and dread instantly welled up in her eyes, because she had read news reports and knew that it was this very same Prosecutor Li who had personally sent her father to prison.

As an ordinary girl, it would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid when facing this powerful prosecutor who had brought down her father.

But Lee Seung-hwan wasn't as fierce as she had imagined. Instead, he smiled faintly at her and said, "Are you Minister Choi's daughter?"

Choi Seol-ri glanced at Lee Seung-hwan fearfully, then nodded slightly and said, "Hello, I am Choi Seol-ri."

Lee Seung-hwan said in a gentle tone, "I know Minister Choi has a daughter, but I didn't expect her to be so beautiful. She has the air of a star. You look somewhat familiar. Did you enter the entertainment industry?"

Choi Sulli said somewhat shyly, "Yes, I am currently a member of a girl group, and I have also filmed a few TV dramas..."

Lee Seung-hwan changed the subject: "Have you learned anything about your father?"

Choi Seol-ri nodded silently: "I... I've never had a good relationship with my father, and I haven't been home for a long time. I only found out about what he did yesterday..."

"And I can't understand why he committed suicide... Prosecutor Li, will he be sentenced? The news says he was involved in embezzlement and bribery, how long will his sentence be?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chenghuan sighed and said, "If he is convicted of embezzlement and bribery, he will be sentenced to at least ten years in prison!"

"Minister Cui is confused. He has always been my most respected senior and role model. He has given me a lot of help and guidance. In my heart, he has always been a mentor and father figure. I once trusted him completely and always went through fire and water to complete the tasks assigned to me."

"But I never expected that he would succumb to temptation, betray his beliefs as a prosecutor, and, for the sake of the promises made by the chaebol chairman and the congressman, stab me in the back and try to kill me. I really don't understand why he would turn out like this?"

"Nevertheless, I chose to believe that he had his reasons, so I had him hand over to his colleagues in the Inspection Department for questioning."

"As long as Minister Cui confessed everything, we prosecutors would have given him preferential treatment. Who would have thought he would be so distraught as to commit suicide out of fear of punishment? It's truly heartbreaking!"

"Actually, I don't blame him. After all, Minister Cui has done me a great favor, and he is the one who gave me the title of Chief Prosecutor."

"For both reason and emotion, I would try my best to minimize his suffering. In fact, I suspect that some powerful figures used your father's weaknesses to blackmail him into doing these things. Your father must have his own reasons."

When Choi Seol-ri heard Lee Seung-hwan say that her father was going to be sentenced to more than ten years in prison, her face turned pale with fright, and she felt like the sky had fallen: "How could this be?"

She used to hate her father, but Choi Byung-sung was also her only family in the world.

If he goes to jail, she really can't imagine how dark her future will be.

Lee Seung-hwan spread his hands innocently and said, "I also think that Minister Choi would never do such a thing. After all, he is the head of the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office's Criminal Division 3."

"But that's the truth. We really did find a large amount of cash in your study. We caught him red-handed, and he has no way to deny it!"

Choi Sulli kept shaking her head: "How...how could this be..."

“I also believe there’s more to this story, but it was revealed during a live news broadcast, and everyone saw it. Your father had no chance to deny or clarify.”

"Moreover, his time is running out."

"Once he wakes up, he may be prosecuted by the prosecutor's office and removed from his position as chief prosecutor."

"After that, the prosecution will charge him with embezzlement, bribery, and framing his subordinates, and will report to the public that your father will not only lose his position as a prosecutor, but will also be disgraced."

Lee Seung-hwan's words left Choi Seol-ri completely bewildered, feeling as if the sky had fallen.

Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

She simply couldn't believe that her father would do such a thing and end up like that.

But this is the fact.

The thought of her father spending ten years in prison and emerging as a white-haired old man made her want to cry. She turned to look at Cui Bingcheng, who was unconscious on the hospital bed.

"Waaaaah... Why did it turn out like this... Dad, I don't want you to go to jail... Waaaaah..."

Seeing this, Li Chenghuan stepped forward and patted her shoulder to comfort her, saying, "Xueli, don't be sad. I know the truth is often hard to accept, but that's life, isn't it?"

"I think your father wouldn't want to see you so heartbroken and haggard, would he?"

“But…but I don’t want my father to go to jail, Prosecutor Lee…” Choi Seol-ri grabbed Lee Seung-hwan’s arm, her eyes filled with tears, and pleaded pitifully, “Prosecutor Lee, please, please help my father!”

Upon hearing this, Li Chenghuan frowned and said, "Xueli, it's not that I don't want to help you..."
