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

Hera Palace, top floor.

"Oppa, what did you say?!"

"Does that Prosecutor Li have evidence of your economic crimes?"

"They even threatened to force you to hand over your group shares?"

After hearing her husband's "truth," Shen Xiulian frowned, her dignified and gentle face filled with astonishment. She couldn't believe that her husband had done something illegal outside and had been caught red-handed.

No wonder!

The husband, who was usually domineering and arrogant, changed his expression drastically after exchanging a few words with that Prosecutor Li, becoming completely different from his previous haughty self.

Actually, everyone could see it.

But they dared not speak or ask.

Don't be fooled by Zhu Dantai's submissive demeanor in front of Li Chenghuan.

But in front of the wealthy people in these Hera Palaces, he was still the aloof chaebol chairman who was fawned over by countless people.

Only Shen Xiulian dared to ask.

She knew there must be something going on, but she never expected to learn about such a worrying matter.

She looked at her husband with concern and said, "Damn it, what should we do now? Does Prosecutor Li mean for you to turn yourself in?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Dantai looked at his wife speechlessly: "Hey, Xiulian, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly turn myself in! I'm a tycoon!"

"If I get arrested and thrown in jail, what will happen to the company? What will happen to Hera Palace? What will happen to you and the children?"

"Do you really want to watch your husband become a laughingstock in Seoul's high society?!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiulian looked puzzled: "But... if Oppa really committed a crime, the prosecutors definitely won't let you off the hook. That Prosecutor Li must have investigated you secretly, right? If Oppa doesn't turn himself in, they'll definitely come to arrest you with the police. At that time..."

Shen Xiulian was a well-bred young lady with a kind heart.

She had often been dissatisfied with some of her husband's actions, as Zhu Dantai's private character was completely different from the positive image he presented to outsiders.

For example, he often locked Zhu Xijing and Zhu Xixun, the brother and sister, in a dark room and whipped them when they made mistakes, disobeyed him, or refused to listen to him.

She also frequently flew into a rage at home, berating the servants.

In addition, he also has a dark, cold, ruthless, cruel, and domineering personality.

But as Zhu Dantai's wife, she could only console herself with the idea that she should follow her husband's lead and tolerate his shortcomings.

But now she has learned that her husband has committed a crime.

She was genuinely worried and wanted to persuade Zhu Dantai to turn himself in, but Zhu Dantai's reaction was unusually strong.

He told his wife coldly, "There is absolutely no way I will turn myself in. The chaebols are the privileged class in this country. Even if we commit a crime, we will not go to jail."

"Xiulian, can you really bear to watch me go to prison?"

Shen Xiulian comforted him earnestly, "It's okay, Oppa. I can face this with you. As long as you turn yourself in and explain your crimes clearly, you can try to get leniency. The children and I will be waiting for you outside."

Seeing that Shen Xiulian was determined to make him turn himself in, Zhu Dantai thought this stupid woman was completely insane. He couldn't help but shout, "Damn it! Shen Xiulian, you're talking nonsense! If I go in, not only will I lose my status as the chairman of the conglomerate and my shares in J-King Company, but even Hera Palace will be gone. My whole family will become penniless!"

"You and your children will only be able to live a hard life from now on, just like those lowly people who can't even afford to eat meat and fruit every day. They will never be able to live a life of luxury again!"

"Besides, Xiulian, have you forgotten? We still have our daughter Huiren in the intensive care unit. She needs a lot of imported drugs every day to stay alive. If we don't have money, can Huiren continue to live?"

"Stop saying such foolish things, Xiulian!"

After being scolded by Zhu Dantai, Shen Xiulian finally came to her senses and remembered her "third daughter" Zhu Huiren, who was lying in the hospital.

She didn't know that the so-called daughter Zhu Huiren at the hospital was not her biological daughter.

Her biological daughter, Min Xue'e, was switched at a very young age by Zhu Dantai and sent abroad. Then, a severely disabled orphan from an orphanage was randomly selected to impersonate her.

Zhu Dantai did this entirely out of revenge and a perverse possessiveness. He had married Shen Xiulian for his own benefit, but he harbored resentment because Shen Xiulian had rejected his marriage proposal.

Moreover, Shen Xiulian was pregnant before marrying him, so he murdered Shen Xiulian's ex-husband, switched and abandoned her daughter, in order to completely destroy Shen Xiulian emotionally and familially, make her suffer the pain of losing a loved one, and at the same time satisfy his twisted and perverted psychology.

In addition, Zhu Dantai was extremely eager for wealth and power. Although he inherited the family's property by murdering the real Zhu Dantai family, he never actually stepped into the upper echelons of the wealthy.

It wasn't until his marriage to Shen Xiulian, which brought him the resources and support of her family, that his wealth and power reached new heights. He became the chairman of the J-King Construction Group and truly joined the ranks of conglomerates.

He was still not satisfied with this. He believed that by controlling Shen Xiulian's mind and abandoning her biological daughter, he would leave Shen Xiulian without a true bloodline heir, especially since Shen Xiulian was the only daughter in the family.

He could then more easily control all of the Shen family's resources to serve his own ambitions!

It can be said that this guy was willing to do anything to climb the ladder, disregarding everything and committing all sorts of heinous acts.

Shen Xiulian was kept in the dark about all of this.

She knew her husband wasn't a good person, but she never imagined he could be this bad.

At this moment, she still innocently tried to offer advice to her husband, "Oppa, then... then what should we do? What else did that Prosecutor Lee say to you?"

When Zhu Dantai saw that she had brought this up herself, he put on a pained expression, sat on the living room sofa, grabbed his hair with both hands, and said with a pained look, "Xiulian, that Prosecutor Li is not as simple and selfless as he seems on the surface."

Do you know what he said to me in the VIP room?

“He wants all the shares in the J-King Construction Group that I own! He also wants ownership of the Hera Palace, and even all of our family's savings!”

"He also threatened me that if I didn't obey, he would expose my economic crimes, put me in jail for life, and ruin my family!"

"I...I really have no other choice..."

Upon hearing what Zhu Dantai said, Shen Xiulian's beautiful eyes widened, and she covered her mouth in disbelief. "No way... that Prosecutor Li seems like a very upright person, right? I remember he was known for being fearless of power and selfless. How could he say such hurtful things to you, Oppa... is that right...?"

Zhu Dantai raised his head, his eyes red as he looked at his wife: "Xiulian, we are husband and wife, would I lie to you? Do you know what else he said?"

“He told me in a dismissive tone, like someone trying to fob me off, that he would leave me a small share in the J-King Construction Group and then let us continue living in the Hera Palace for the time being.”

"He also said that you have to personally deliver all of our family's assets to him and have him stamp them before he will let us off the hook!"

"This bastard!"

When Shen Xiulian heard the conditions proposed by Li Chenghuan from her husband, her expression became even more shocked. Even though she was gentle and virtuous and always had a good temper, she finally couldn't help but get a little angry.

"This Prosecutor Li has gone too far!"

"How could he make such unreasonable demands!"

"Oppa, how about we call the police? I'll go with you to turn myself in, okay?"

"We'd rather go to court and go to jail than accept his unreasonable demands!"

Zhu Dantai panicked upon hearing this and quickly grabbed his wife: "Xiulian, listen to me first. I've committed some serious crimes outside. If I'm investigated, the consequences will be severe. I could spend my whole life in prison... Can you bear to see us never see each other again, and only be able to visit me in prison occasionally with the children?"

"Besides, those police officers are just a bunch of dogs under the prosecutors' command. They do whatever they're told. Why would they help us?"

"Xiulian, why don't we agree to him? As long as we're alive, we can always make a comeback. Although we've lost our shares in the group and everything else, we still have the resources from your family. Give me some time, and we'll definitely be able to make a comeback."

"As long as I'm alright, our family will be fine!"

When Shen Xiulian heard her husband pleading with her not to call the police, saying he didn't want to go to jail, she couldn't help but soften her heart.

She bit her lower lip and finally made up her mind: "In that case, Oppa, you should prepare the conditions he proposed first. Then I will personally go to that Prosecutor Lee to plead for leniency and beg him to let our family off the hook."
