“It’s simple,” Lee Seung-hwan said. “I promised that guy I would invite the president to the studio to apologize, but I didn’t say which president. A presidential candidate counts as a president!”

"If you, as a presidential candidate, apologize, you can not only clear up the previous public opinion, but also boost your reputation and show your sense of responsibility and commitment to the nation."

“Associate Zhang should also be aware of how high the public attention is on the bombing of the Mapo Bridge. It can be said that South Korea has not experienced such a bombing attack in decades.”

"The deaths and injuries of so many innocent people, coupled with the inaction of the rescue departments, have sparked heated discussions and protests across the country. Someone will definitely be held accountable for this incident, and a large number of people will be implicated."

"If this matter can be resolved perfectly, the reputation you gain alone will increase your approval rating by several points, which is more effective than giving a hundred speeches to campaign for votes."

"Furthermore, since I have decided to reconcile with you, Representative Zhang, I will naturally show my sincerity. Therefore, I will go into the SNC TV studio with Representative Zhang."

"I hereby announce in front of the entire audience that there are other hidden details in the illegal loan case I investigated earlier. I was deceived by people with ulterior motives and misunderstood Councilor Zhang and Chairman Wu."

"In fact, after a series of investigations, it was finally determined that the money was not embezzled or pocketed by the two individuals!"

"On the contrary, the two of them stumbled upon the fact that they intercepted a huge amount of embezzled funds that financial fraudster Chen Xianbi was preparing to transfer abroad, thus saving the nation from significant financial losses!"

"Finally, Representative Jang's stains were cleared, his prestige soared, his approval ratings skyrocketed, and he easily defeated Representative Kim to officially become the new president of South Korea!"

"How about this script?"

Li Chenghuan's words deeply shocked Zhang Biyu.

Holy crap, you can do this?!

If the president doesn't apologize, he'll be the presidential candidate.

They used the bombing attack to create momentum and boost their approval ratings.

By the way, they should join forces with Lee Seung-hwan to clear his name and shift all the blame onto Chen Hyun-pil, making him the scapegoat!

That's killing three birds with one stone!

That scoundrel Li Chenghuan is truly despicable, shameless, cunning, and treacherous to the extreme.

Zhang Biyu suddenly began to admire him.

Moreover, after listening to it, he felt that the plan was completely feasible!

But he quickly realized something: "You kid, you should have mentioned it to that guy in Jinshi Town beforehand, right? After all, he's your biggest backer, and he didn't agree?"

Lee Seung-hwan neither admitted nor denied it, but simply said, "I like to work with smart, bold and meticulous people, and Representative Kim is far inferior to Representative Jang in this regard. I am very disappointed in him."

Zhang Biyu understood immediately and said with a hint of smugness, "Hahahaha... This short-sighted idiot has no idea what he's missing!"

Jang Pil-woo was a smart man; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become a presidential candidate. He understood what Lee Seung-hwan was saying as soon as he heard it.

This kid wants to team up with me for hype, a win-win situation.

Lee Seung-hwan, that scoundrel, probably realized that it was impossible to take him and Chairman Wu down in a short time, and that in the end, they would only end up in a lose-lose situation.

Moreover, it's likely that his backer, Representative Kim, also ran into trouble, which is why he turned to cooperate with him.

What a ruthless bastard!

There are no permanent enemies in officialdom. Although this bastard caused them a lot of trouble and even eliminated Li Jiangxi, an important strategist in their insider alliance.

But if we could cooperate with Lee Seung-hwan to bring this uncontrollable mad dog prosecutor into our camp, fill the vacancy, and turn him on others, that would be wonderful!

“I need to discuss this with Chairman Wu.” Zhang Biyu did not give a direct answer, after all, Wu Yanxiu was the actual leader of the Insider Alliance, and his presidential candidacy was also supported by Wu Yanxiu.

"Time is running out, Councilor Zhang needs to reply as soon as possible. I have taken the initiative to express my sincerity, but if your sincerity is not enough, I will take action myself," Li Chenghuan said calmly.

His words were filled with an air of complete confidence.

He needed to convince Jang Pil-woo that if he couldn't meet Lee Seung-hwan's demands, he would not hesitate to cancel the cooperation.

This arrogant kid has completely taken control of the situation.

Zhang Biyu had considered kicking Li Chenghuan aside and enjoying the immense prestige all to himself.

However, he didn't know the details of the murderer's actions and was even more worried that the murderer would discover he wasn't the real president, become enraged, and directly detonate explosives hidden elsewhere in Seoul, thus making a mess of things and turning himself into a scapegoat and a clown.

He knew that a man like Lee Seung-hwan would stop at nothing to gain fame and prestige. This was a golden opportunity, and he had no reason to cheat. In addition, Lee Seung-hwan was willing to reconcile and cooperate with the other party. Of course, Jang Pil-woo had to take the gamble!

Zhang Biyu did not keep Li Chenghuan waiting for long.

After explaining Li Chenghuan's thoughts to Wu Yanxiu in a phone call, Wu Yanxiu agreed to cooperate.

Anyway, they didn't suffer any losses; all they needed to do was push that unlucky guy Chen Xianbi out as a scapegoat.

The two sides hit it off.

Jang Pil-woo quickly replied to Lee Seung-hwan that he was already on his way and would arrive at the SNC TV studio within ten minutes!

In order to buy time, Lee Seung-hwan arrived at the SNC company building first.

The security guard at the entrance initially tried to stop him, but when he produced his prosecutor's ID, the guard immediately backed down and dared not say another word.

Before Li Chenghuan took the elevator upstairs, Jin Dahai quietly reported to him.

Yanbian F4 and Zhang Qian have infiltrated the SNC TV station building and are currently searching for the murderer!

Lee Seung-hwan nodded in satisfaction; now it was time to see his performance.

Shortly after.

Ding!

The elevator arrived at the SNC TV broadcast production center, which was a very large area divided into several recording rooms. Finding the one where Yoon Young-hwa was was quite a challenge.

Lee Seung-hwan grabbed a passerby and asked for directions. He quickly arrived at the largest studio, only to find an incredibly bloody scene upon entering.

A middle-aged policeman in a high-ranking uniform had half his head blown off!

Beside her stood Yin Yinghua, trembling with fear, and outside stood Zhang Jingrong, the deputy director of the station, looking helpless and with a very unpleasant expression.

When Zhang Jingrong saw Li Chenghuan appear, he immediately recognized him and stepped forward awkwardly to explain:

“I’m sorry, Prosecutor Lee, we didn’t expect that this Chief of Police of Mapo District, Joo Yeom-cheol (the Chief of Police is roughly equivalent to the head of the city’s police department), would resort to threats and intimidation to coerce the murderer.”

"Director Zhou forced the murderer to turn himself in, saying that he already knew his true identity and that if he didn't surrender, he would announce his misdeeds to everyone, making him a wanted criminal and a rat that everyone would hate..."

"Before he could finish speaking, we heard a loud bang, and Director Zhou's head just... just..."

Zhang Jingrong still felt lingering fear when he talked about it.

He was originally an incompetent, petty person who only knew how to engage in office power struggles, suppress subordinates, seek personal gain, and was selfish and self-serving.

This matter has far exceeded his capacity to bear, and he has begun to sense that something is amiss.

If the killer could plant a miniature bomb in their studio headset, were there any bombs planted in the entire studio?

Were there any bombs planted in the entire SNC television building?

These are all entirely possible!

He didn't want to create any more exclusive news or have Yin Yinghua confront the murderer live anymore; all he wanted to do now was escape!

Upon hearing this, Li Chenghuan grabbed Zhang Jingrong's tie and easily pulled him in front of him with great force, making Zhang Jingrong's neck and face turn bright red.

He coldly questioned him, "You've already started your live-streamed confrontation with the murderer?"
