Li Chenghuan looked troubled: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but your father's crime is too serious. The money he embezzled was no small amount. I can forgive his framing and betrayal, but he still committed a crime."

"Furthermore, due to the need to avoid suspicion, I cannot participate in the Ministry of Supervision's interrogation of Minister Cui. Whether his sentence can be reduced depends on the Ministry of Supervision's investigation and trial, as well as on his own actions..."

Choi Seol-ri felt even more desperate after hearing this. She didn't know any of the other prosecutors from the Seoul District Prosecutors Office, nor did she have any connections. She was just a young girl who had recently graduated.

Even the method of pleading with Lee Seung-hwan was taught to her by her father's trusted official, Uncle Han Yun-ho.

He told Choi Seol-ri that the only person who could save her father now was Prosecutor Lee Seung-hwan.

Choi Seol-ri was puzzled. She said that it was this Prosecutor Lee who brought down her father. If he hadn't exposed her father's corruption and bribery in public, how could Choi Byung-sung have been arrested?

How could she be driven to suicide?

He should be his enemy!

She remembered that after listening, Han Yunhao said with a bitter expression, "Xueli, you are too naive. Your father is just a pawn of those big shots. He has no choice in the matter."

“When he did that, he told me that he might fail, and that if he failed, those big shots would definitely not let him go, and might even kill him to silence him.”

“Now it has all come true. Prosecutor Li was actually a victim. He was forced to fight back. If he hadn’t brought down your father, he would have suffered a terrible fate. In the end, your father lost.”

"But he also knows many secrets of those big shots. They are worried and will definitely shut your father up forever."

"So your only option is to ask Prosecutor Li for help. You just need to convince your father to bow down to Prosecutor Li, admit his mistakes, and beg for his forgiveness."

“Only by revealing everything you know and helping Prosecutor Li deal with those big shots can you hope to reduce your father’s punishment, give him a lighter sentence, and allow him to enjoy his old age in peace.”

"And you are the minister's last hope..."

Cui Xueli recalled Uncle Han's instructions to her, and looking at Prosecutor Li's tall figure, she secretly made up her mind.

She couldn't let her father spend so many years in prison!

After much thought, she realized that her only leverage to persuade Prosecutor Li was herself.

Although she knew it was embarrassing and shameless, she couldn't just stand by and watch her father die. What if those powerful figures saw that her father wasn't dead and continued to attack him?

She needs to find someone to rely on.

So, she forced herself to suppress her shame, took Li Chenghuan's arm, raised her small face, and looked at the man's handsome face with hopeful and pitiful eyes:

"Prosecutor Li, I know my father wronged you. As his daughter, I have an obligation to apologize to you on his behalf. I'm sorry!"

“It was my father’s fault. I know that no amount of apology can heal the hatred you have for my father.”

"Therefore, I am willing to take my father's place and accept your punishment. You can vent your anger on me, as long as it helps you calm down, anything is acceptable..."

Upon hearing this, Lee Seung-hwan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Choi Seol-ri with some surprise, never expecting her to say such a thing.

Li Chenghuan pulled his hand out of her arms and said righteously, "Xueli, this is between your father and me, it has nothing to do with you. I know you are a filial girl, but one thing is one thing, how could I take my anger out on you? Don't talk nonsense."

Cui Xueli, however, seemed to have made up her mind. She held tightly to Li Chenghuan's arm, her delicate and beautiful face full of determination: "Prosecutor Li, there is a saying that daughters should pay for their father's debts. As his daughter, I have an obligation to pay back the mistakes my father made."

"Please vent your anger on me. As long as it makes you happy, I'll have no regrets!"

Lee Seung-hwan: "..."

Since Choi Seol-ri has already said that, what else can he say?

Everyone saw it; it wasn't Li Chenghuan who took advantage of someone's misfortune.

Instead, it was Choi Sulli who took the initiative to say that she should pay for her father's debts!

And just then.

Choi Byung-sung, who had been in a coma, slowly woke up.

Although his suicide attempt failed last night, the aftereffects are still quite severe.

After all, he had suffocated, which caused oxygen deprivation in his brain. Later, he fell and hit his head on the toilet, which caused intracranial hemorrhage. He was rescued by doctors for a long time.

Although he was eventually saved.

However, prolonged oxygen deprivation to the brain led to a stroke on one side of his body, leaving him almost paralyzed and unable to move.

Furthermore, his throat had been constricted by a neck collar for a long time, damaging his vocal cords. Now he can't even speak; only his eyes and fingers can move.

When he opened his eyes, the first person he saw was Lee Seung-hwan. His pupils contracted instantly, and he struggled to say something, but his vocal cords were damaged, and he could only make a whirring sound.

Choi Seol-ri, with her back to Choi Byung-sung, was completely unaware of what was happening. She continued shaking Lee Seung-hwan's arm, practically pulling him into her embrace, pleading pitifully, "Prosecutor Lee, Lee Oppa~ please help me... Why won't you even look at me? Am I not pretty enough~"

Lee Seung-hwan had already noticed that Choi Byung-sung had woken up, but his face remained expressionless as he calmly met Choi Byung-sung's gaze.

After seeing the fear and pleading in his eyes.

Lee Seung-hwan said to Choi Seol-ri with a slightly wavering tone, "Seol-ri... I'm really not the kind of person who takes advantage of others in distress. How could I bully a girl like you? If word got out, people would call me a despicable and shameless man. What kind of skill is it to bully a girl?"

The more he does this.

Cui Xueli, however, was even more determined. She gritted her teeth and said with a flushed face, "Prosecutor Li, there are some things I don't want to say in front of my father. Can you come into the bathroom with me? I want to tell you a secret quietly."

"Oh? What secret?" Lee Seung-hwan became interested.

So, under Choi Byung-sung's watchful eyes, amidst his utter despair and anger, he followed Choi Seol-ri into the bathroom.

Lee Seung-hwan originally thought that Choi Seol-ri had something important to tell him.

But what I discovered was her biggest secret.

And it really is quite important...

He always thought of himself as an upright and selfless prosecutor who could withstand the temptation of money and had no weaknesses.

Unexpectedly, he still couldn't guard against his only weakness, and his resolve was broken by some women with ulterior motives who showed concern for his health!

There are bad people among the crowd!

Cui Xueli blushed and rinsed her mouth several times before tidying her clothes and leaving the bathroom.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw his father, Choi Byung-sung, with a look of anger, disappointment, and despair on his face.
