If I make you a prosecutor, are you going to be the president of South Korea?
Chapter 186 Chen Huarong, penniless and desperate
Upon hearing this, Chen Huarong's expression immediately changed, and she quickly denied it, saying, "No, I didn't, he's talking nonsense!"
"I am the third in line to inherit the Shunyang Group. How could I embezzle my own company's money? That's utter nonsense!"
"You, Chen Daojun! Your aunt has been so good to you, even arranging a job for your mother, and you actually slander me behind my back! I've wasted all my love on you!"
Chen Huarong grumbled and changed the subject, refusing to discuss whether she was actually involved in embezzlement and money laundering.
Lee Seung-hwan looked at her with a half-smile: "That would be for the best, because my colleagues have already started investigating this matter."
"Of course, the innocent will clear themselves, and I personally think that Ms. Chen Huarong is not that kind of person."
"I heard that the former chairman, Mr. Chen Yangzhe, dotes on you, his daughter the most. How could he be reluctant to give your precious darling money to spend?"
"If he knew that your little nephew dared to slander the elders in the family, he would definitely be very angry, wouldn't you say?"
As Chen Huarong listened, her expression grew even more unpleasant.
She knows in her heart whether she did those things or not.
But if her father, Chen Yangzhe, finds out about this, she'll be completely finished!
Her father would definitely give her a severe scolding and kick her out of the house!
Although Chen Yangzhe was old, the lion was still powerful enough to intimidate all the beasts. All his offspring feared and revered him.
Chen Huarong would rather go to jail than face her enraged father.
But right now she has to face Lee Seung-hwan, a prosecutor who appears to be upright and selfless but is actually extremely cunning.
That bastard is definitely a guy who won't do anything without a profit.
He approached her feigning concern and offered to help, but it's obvious he had no good intentions.
Although Chen Huarong was spoiled, arrogant, and conceited.
But he's not really a fool.
She looked at Lee Seung-hwan with a complicated expression: "What exactly does Prosecutor Lee want from me?"
"Forget it, I don't want to guess."
"Here's what we'll do: as long as your colleague stops investigating this case, I'll give you whatever amount of money you want."
Upon hearing this, Li Chenghuan waved his hand and said with an upright and righteous expression, "Ms. Chen Huarong, are you slandering me, an upright prosecutor? In your eyes, am I the kind of corrupt official who would do anything for money and benefits, even resorting to extortion?"
"You underestimate me! You belittle me!"
"I came to you to tell you this news because that guy Chen Daojun once stole my girlfriend!"
"Especially the prosecutor he contacted who was in charge of financial crime investigations—that's my girlfriend!"
"This brat is so arrogant and provocative, he keeps haunting my girlfriend. I'm furious, which is why I thought of ruining his plans and doing you, Ms. Chen Huarong, a favor in the process."
"Since you think I have ulterior motives, then forget it. Anyway, there are other ways to get revenge on that brat Chen Daojun."
After saying that, he turned and left without any hesitation.
After hearing Li Chenghuan's words, Chen Huarong suddenly realized what was going on. It seemed that she had really misunderstood this Prosecutor Li.
She opened her mouth, intending to ask him to stay and apologize to Lee Seung-hwan, but she had always been a proud woman and had never apologized to anyone before.
Before she could even finish hesitating, Lee Seung-hwan and his secretary/assistant had already disappeared from her sight.
Just then, a figure rushed in through the door in a great hurry. Chen Huarong thought that Li Chenghuan had returned.
Only then did she realize it was her secretary. Panicked and with a long face, she said to Chen Huarong:
"President, the stock we held suddenly plummeted today, and we've been liquidated! All the money in our accounts has been wiped out!"
"What! You're talking nonsense! How is that possible?! Didn't it surge yesterday?!"
"It's fake, this must be fake news!"
Chen Huarong's first reaction upon hearing this was disbelief, but seeing Secretary Ren's deathly pale face and trembling body, with an expression as if the sky had fallen, she immediately sensed something was wrong.
Her face contorted with rage, she grabbed Secretary Ren's shoulders and shook him violently: "Secretary Ren, have we really gone bankrupt?"
Seeing Secretary Ren's tearful face, he nodded fearfully.
"Axiba!"
"Where's the Xiba Xiangjiu!"
"How could this happen! Ahhhhh!" Chen Huarong frantically grabbed her hair, jumping and hopping around, feeling like she was going crazy.
She shook Secretary Ren violently in a fit of rage, scolding, "Why didn't you sell them earlier? Why didn't you sell them sooner! It's all your fault for being too greedy! It's all your fault!"
Chen Huarong shifted all the blame onto Secretary Ren.
Secretary Ren was on the verge of tears, feeling wronged: "President, I advised you yesterday to sell all the stocks you held, but you wouldn't listen at all. You even said that the stock was still soaring, so why should I sell it? You also scolded me for being cowardly and delaying your money-making."
"This really isn't my fault!"
The secretary's words dealt Chen Huarong a heavy blow. She finally accepted reality: yesterday, she had indeed ignored the secretary's advice and insisted on continuing to hold onto that stock.
But who could have imagined that a stock that had surged for a month would plummet to rock bottom overnight?
trap!
This is definitely a trap!
Someone deliberately lured her into the game, then betrayed her at the crucial moment, causing her to lose everything!
And who this person is is already obvious.
"It's Chen Daojun!"
"That damn bastard! He's so heartless!"
"Waaaaah... It's all gone, I have nothing left!"
Chen Huarong finally accepted reality. Her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, crying and wailing. She kept cursing at Chen Daojun, acting like a shrew, completely lacking the temperament and refinement of a wealthy heiress.
To outsiders, especially to Chinese people, this might seem a bit exaggerated.
But this is the reality of South Koreans. Perhaps they eat too much kimchi, which makes them all mentally twisted and prone to going crazy.
There was once a wealthy woman surnamed Zhao who would frequently beat and verbally abuse her husband and children at home. Her husband claimed that she had choked him, hit him with things, and beaten him until his face was covered in blood on many occasions.
If their children did anything to displease this tycoon, they would be met with her cold looks and scolding. She also abused the household servants, withheld their wages, and treated them like slaves.
That wasn't all; she became even more arrogant when she was out in public. When she traveled on her own company's plane, the flight attendant didn't arrange the nuts correctly according to her orders, nor did she serve her like a servant at all times.
She flew into a rage, verbally and physically abusing the flight attendant, and then ordered the captain to turn the plane back after it had been flying for twenty minutes. The captain refused to comply and was subsequently demoted to a laborer and developed a serious mental illness.
She also used her company's plane to smuggle various luxury goods, misusing public aircraft for private purposes. In addition, she was dissatisfied with the court and prosecutors' decision to sue her for probation and privately told her sister that she must take revenge.
Despite the protests and complaints from the outside world, this wealthy heiress surnamed Zhao remained unscathed. Although she was given a suspended sentence, she was released on the spot.
In South Korea, as long as these chaebols don't commit murder, the law can't imprison them for even a day. Even if they do kill someone, they will be released for various reasons due to insufficient evidence.
Chen Huarong is not worried about going to jail for embezzling public funds and money laundering. What she is really desperate about is that she has lost all her money!
That's a whopping 5400 billion won!
She initially borrowed 4000 billion won from Chen Daojun in exchange for a 30% stake in Shunyang Department Store. In addition, she misappropriated 1400 billion won of Shunyang Department Store's working capital, totaling 5400 billion won, which she invested entirely in the stock market!
At first, the stock price rose, and she made money for almost half a month, watching as 5400 billion turned into 6000 billion, 7000 billion, and 8000 billion!
They were on the verge of earning their small goal of one trillion won.
And then, overnight, they were all gone!
She's bankrupt!
This means that she not only cannot repay the 1400 billion yuan of public funds she misappropriated, but also the 4000 billion yuan she borrowed from Chen Daojun.
Once the repayment deadline is over, her 30% stake will become Chen Daojun's, making him the largest shareholder of Shunyang Department Store!
"No!"
"I absolutely cannot lose control of Shunyang Department Store!"
"This is the inheritance that my father gave me!"
"Chen Daojun, you bastard, I will never let you get away with this!"
Chen Huarong roared, appearing completely deranged.
Secretary Ren, standing to the side, trembled with fear and dared not utter a sound, lest she take her anger out on him.
After her initial frenzy, Chen Huarong gradually calmed down. Her immediate priority is to repay Chen Daojun the 4000 billion won and retain her shares.
As long as she has the shares, she can mortgage them again and use the money to cover the 1400 billion yuan deficit on Shunyang Department Store's books!
But right now, who would be willing to lend her such a large sum of money?
Chen Huarong quickly thought of her eldest and second eldest brothers.
So she quickly got up and went out, ready to beg her two older brothers.
But the result was unexpected.
When her older brother, Chen Rongji, heard that she had come to borrow money, he said he had no money and kicked her out without any regard for their sibling relationship.
Her second brother, Chen Dongji, was willing to lend her money, but he only wanted to spend 4000 billion to take away all of her shares in Shunyang Department Store.
"Damn it! Second brother, are you crazy?! I own 55% of the shares, worth one trillion won, and you want to take them away for 4000 billion? This is taking advantage of my misfortune!" Chen Huarong slammed her hand on the table and stood up, angrily rebuking her second brother, Chen Dongji.
Chen Dongji was a middle-aged man who wore glasses and looked very refined.
Faced with his sister's accusations, he took off his glasses, blew on them, wiped them clean, and put them back on his nose.
With an air of self-righteousness, he mocked Chen Huarong, "My foolish sister, with your business acumen, Shunyang Department Store will inevitably decline to a terrible state in your hands sooner or later, and may even go bankrupt prematurely."
“You are no match for our little nephew. Rather than transferring your shares to him, you might as well let your second brother benefit. At least we are family.”
"And Chen Daojun's father, Chen Runji, is just an illegitimate son born to the old man's mistress."
"Do you really want to watch your Shunyang Department Store fall into the hands of an illegitimate child's son?"
"Or are you planning to ask our father for money to help you through this difficult time?"
"If you ask me, you should just give Shunyang Department Store to me. I promise you, I will keep you as the president of Shunyang Department Store. After all, you are my own sister. If I don't love you, who will I love?"
Upon hearing her second brother Chen Dongji's words, Chen Huarong fell silent.
Chen Daojun is despicable and shameless, causing her to lose everything and be heavily in debt.
The eldest brother, Chen Rongji, refused to help those in distress, while the second brother, Chen Dongji, shamelessly took advantage of the situation.
As for her father, Chen Yangzhe, if he knew about her messy affairs, he would definitely give her a severe scolding and there's a high chance he wouldn't lend her a single penny.
No matter which path you choose, it seems like a dead end.
She felt that her future was bleak.
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, she thought of someone.
Lee Seung-hwan!
The prosecutor who came to her beforehand to say he could help her was definitely not making things up!
He might have a solution!
