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

"Damn it! It hasn't even been an hour yet!"

"I almost died, damn it, I should have known better than to show off!"

At the critical moment, Lee Seung-hwan grabbed the rope ladder and was successfully rescued amidst the shocked gazes of countless people.

After rescuing Lee Seung-hwan and the others, the helicopter landed on a school playground about one kilometer away.

As he stepped off the helicopter, Lee Seung-hwan cursed under his breath.

His attempt to show off almost backfired, which left him in a bad mood.

Although he desperately wanted to kill the bastard behind the scenes, he knew he had to keep his composure; this matter was far from over.

He suppressed his anger and instead gave Li Zicheng, who had come to his rescue, a relieved smile, patting him on the shoulder, "Zicheng, we owe you a lot this time."

Lee Ja-sung breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lee Seung-hwan return safely. To avoid taking up cabin space, he did not go on the second rescue. However, he did not expect to watch the Mapo Bridge explode a second time. His heart clenched when the bridge collapsed.

I'm terrified something might happen to Lee Seung-hwan!

Thankfully, Lee Seung-hwan returned successfully!

“This is all part of my job. If something really happens to you, I don’t know how I’ll explain it to your chief of staff and your family.”

Lee Ja-sung bowed slightly to show his respect.

Lee Seung-hwan gave him a piece of advice: "Ji-sung, this Mapo Bridge accident is a golden opportunity to clear your name."

"As the chairman of the Kinmen Group, you must personally take charge and demonstrate the obligations and responsibilities of a private enterprise."

"We must actively help these victims, assist rescue departments in the search and rescue of missing persons, donate money, improve the reputation of Kinmen Group, and change the image of Kinmen Group. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zicheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately admired Li Chenghuan immensely. How could he not have thought of this?

The Kinmen Group is looking to transform and clean up its image, and now is a good opportunity to gain prestige, regardless of whether they were involved in organized crime in the past.

But from today onwards, they are truly conscientious and responsible companies!

Those whom the air marshals don't handle, we, the Kinmen Group, will.

If the Coast Guard won't rescue someone, our Kinmen Group will!

After bowing to thank Lee Seung-hwan, Lee Ja-sung immediately took several trusted men to contact the company's salvage team and a nearby yacht club to rescue the people.

He then sent his trusted confidant, Shi Wu, to urgently mobilize a batch of supplies.

Because the helicopter was parked in an open area far from Mapo Bridge, the reporters couldn't get there in a short time.

Taking this opportunity, Lee Seung-hwan quickly led Kim Dae-hae away from where they were and headed towards the SNC TV station building!

As mentioned earlier, this matter is far from over.

The mastermind behind this crime has also planted explosives in two other locations, which, if detonated, will cause countless casualties.

Lee Seung-hwan didn't care how many of his men died, but he did care about the merit of saving lives, which was enough to propel him to great heights!

Such a large piece of cake is too much for Lee Seung-hwan to handle alone; he needs to find someone to share the burden.

So he called Representative Kim while he was on his way to the SNC TV station building.

beep...

The phone rang four or five times before it was answered.

"You're still alive?" came Congressman Kim's slightly surprised voice from the other end of the phone.

Before preparing to deal with Zhang Biyu and Wu Yanxiu, Li Chenghuan secretly met with two important figures.

One of them is Representative Kim Seok-jin, the mastermind behind the investigation into the illegal loan case.

At the time, Lee Seung-hwan claimed that he had devoted himself to Congressman Kim, risking his life to investigate evidence of the illegal and criminal activities of those two important figures.

He persuaded Jinshi Town in exchange for his secret support.

Jinshizhen used his connections and influence to help Lee Seung-hwan withstand pressure from high-ranking members of the National Assembly and from both inside and outside the prosecution system.

Although his father-in-law, Xu Zaixian, helped, he was constantly being attacked from both overt and covert angles.

Without Jinshi Town protecting him, Li Chenghuan's situation wouldn't be much better.

Most of the ignorant public believed that Lee Seung-hwan was truly fearless of power and dared to openly denounce presidential candidates and chaebol chairmen.

These two important figures didn't even dare to do anything to him, which must mean they felt guilty.

But in reality, Lee Seung-hwan was under immense pressure during this period.

He simply managed to win over some important figures to share the burden with him.

To gain something, you have to give something in return.

Li Chenghuan risked everything to investigate those two important figures, and Jinshizhen, as a beneficiary of the system, naturally had to contribute as well.

Today, Kim Seok-jin learned about the bombing of Mapo Bridge from his trusted secretary, and also learned that Lee Seung-hwan was trapped on that bridge, in grave danger, and might die.

Jinshi Town was just hesitating about whether to mobilize some forces to rescue Li Chenghuan, after all, it would be a great loss if such a useful tool died.

Before he could finish considering it, Lee Seung-hwan called.

Jinshi Town was very curious about how Li Chenghuan was rescued.

"Associate Kim, this is how it all started..."

Li Chenghuan briefly explained the incident to Jinshizhen.

He then changed the subject, asking with a hint of probing, "Associate Kim, I promised the mastermind behind this murder that I would persuade the President to go to the SNC TV studio and personally apologize to the murderer's family in front of all the South Koreans watching the live news broadcast."

"But I know very well that our President Kaka will not come, and the presidential guard will not agree to the president taking the risk of apologizing for a ruthless murderer who indiscriminately kills innocent people."

"But there's one thing I must mention. According to the intelligence I've received, the murderer has planted explosives all over Seoul. If his demands aren't met, he'll indiscriminately detonate bombs, and many people will die..."

"This matter has a terrible impact. If it is not handled properly, it will not only cause panic throughout South Korea, but it will also spread abroad, attracting worldwide attention and criticism."

“I would like to ask Representative Kim to step in and persuade the president that if he apologizes, this crisis will be resolved immediately, and Representative Kim will also gain the support and gratitude of the people, and his approval rating will rise.”

Li Chenghuan elaborated on the advantages and disadvantages in detail.

But to my surprise, Jin Shizhen remained expressionless and said in a cold tone, "You have a good idea, but what does it have to do with me?"

"Although I can meet the president, do you think I have so many favors to offer that I can get him into a TV studio to apologize to that lowly executioner who's as good as a pig or a dog?"

"As a qualified leader, don't be so compassionate. This matter may escalate and many people may die. As long as you don't get involved, you and I will definitely not be the ones to bear the responsibility."

"You want to play the hero, but if you mess things up and become a scapegoat, who do you expect to save you?"

"Furthermore, even if I personally intervene, I might not be able to persuade the president. You yourself said that the presidential guard would never allow him to take such a risk. If the president were to be in danger, both of us would become criminals against this country!"

"Your value to me is far less than my personal favor. Only if you send Zhang Biyu and Wu Yanxiu to prison will you be qualified to truly serve under me and be at my beck and call. Do you understand?"

"Since you've been given a second chance at life, live well. Learn to cherish your own power and stop meddling in other people's business. Also, your time is running out. If you still can't take down Zhang Biyu, don't blame me for abandoning you as a pawn!"

Jinshi Town reprimanded him without any politeness.

Although he had considered that Jinshizhen might refuse to help, Lee Seung-hwan still didn't expect him to refuse so decisively.

However, he was not discouraged at all.

Jinshizhen's statement is very realistic and makes no mistake.

He is the kind of conservative politician who weighs the pros and cons of everything and is unwilling to do anything that carries any risk.

Even if, as Lee Seung-hwan said, he could persuade the murderer to turn himself in and save many people, he could still gain a boost in his approval ratings.

But for him, the risk was still too great.

Rather than risk getting involved in this, he might as well wait for Li Chenghuan to deal with Zhang Biyu and Wu Yanxiu, and then he could reap the rewards of victory.

From beginning to end, Jinshizhen always treated Li Chenghuan with arrogance, as if Li Chenghuan doing things for him and clinging to his powerful backer was a favor to him.

After all, his former subordinate was Choi Byung-sung, the head of the Criminal Investigation Department, while Lee Seung-hwan was just a low-level prosecutor under Choi Byung-sung.

Even though Lee Seung-hwan was in charge of investigating the illegal loan case, it was he who produced the investigation results, made significant progress, and dealt a heavy blow to Jang Pil-woo and the insider alliance.

But that still didn't make Jinshizhen think much more highly of him.

No matter where you are, the ones who actually do the work are always the lower-level staff, while the leaders only need to delegate tasks layer by layer, do the least work, and get the most credit.

And they would take it for granted.

Jinshizhen thought so. If it weren't for his wise and powerful leadership, which secretly assigned Cui Bingcheng this task, and Cui Bingcheng's considerable effort in helping and guiding Li Chenghuan, how could he have discovered so much?

Now we still need his protection to avoid being suppressed and targeted by the forces behind Zhang Biyu. But this kid is not doing his job properly. He wants to be a hero to save people and show off. He even wants to waste a precious favor.

That's absolutely outlandish and absurd!

Jinshizhen felt that Li Chenghuan, this scoundrel, was getting a bit too cocky, so he decided to give him a sense of urgency. He added, "I'm only giving you half a month to handle Zhang Biyu and Wu Yanxiu's illegal loan case."

"If by then there is no breakthrough that severely damages Jang Pil-woo, leading to an investigation by the Seoul District Prosecutors Office and his arrest, then don't blame me for having to give up on you."

Jinshizhen's tone was extremely cold and indifferent.

He knew very well that he was always at a disadvantage when facing Zhang Biyu.

Thoroughly investigating Zhang Biyu and Chairman Wu's illegal loan case was his last chance to turn things around, but he didn't expect Zhang Biyu to be so cunning and to resort to such tricks.

While issuing announcements to clarify and clear his name, he also controlled public opinion by releasing a series of scandals involving several celebrities to divert attention and downplay his situation.

They then took control of the courts, the police, and even high-ranking officials in the prosecutor's office, preventing Lee Seung-hwan from even issuing an arrest warrant.

Without an arrest warrant, as a presidential candidate, Chang Pil-woo could have easily refused to be investigated by the prosecution, and in short, he used various methods to delay the process.

Once he successfully becomes president, all the previous accusations will become invalid, and the South Korean president has unlimited power during his term.

If Zhang Biyu launches a purge, not only will Li Chenghuan die, but Jinshi Town will also be destroyed.

In order to protect himself, Jinshizhen would not hesitate to abandon Li Chenghuan and sell him to Zhang Biyu in exchange for the latter's mercy.

After issuing a series of threats and warnings, Jinshi Town hung up the phone.

Although I had expected that he wouldn't offer any help.

However, Jinshi Town's arrogant attitude immediately made Li Chenghuan's face turn cold.

Damn it, no wonder he couldn't win against Zhang Biyu. That stupid pig, cowardly and timid, unwilling to take any risks, just wants to eat what's readily available!

"Since you don't want to improve, then don't blame me for finding someone else to collaborate with."

Lee Seung-hwan remained expressionless.
