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

Jingle Bell!

The phone rang on Lee Seung-hwan's desk.

The caller ID read "Secretary Yin".

Lee Seung-hwan raised an eyebrow. He knew this person was Seok Dong-chul's trusted secretary. Why was he calling at this time?

He had a vague idea in his mind, and picked up the phone.

"Hey?"

“Prosecutor Li, our chairman is very dissatisfied with your efficiency. Haven’t you paid any attention to the Kinmen Group these past few days?”

"Secretary Yin, please speak frankly. There's no need to beat around the bush."

"Hmph, Prosecutor Li, you really have a short memory. I heard you were recently promoted. Is that why you ignored Chairman Shi's words? Don't forget your identity! You don't want everyone to know you're an undercover gangster, do you..."

Upon hearing the threatening tone, Li Chenghuan's face immediately turned cold.

You bastard!

He hates being threatened the most.

If it weren't for the fact that it's not the right time to break ties with Shi Dongchu, the first person he would kill would be this Secretary Yin!

He took a deep breath, steadied himself, and said calmly, "What do you mean by that, Secretary Yin? Are you calling to make fun of me on purpose? Or did Chairman Shi send you to give me a warning?"

"Let me guess, is Chairman Shi in trouble again? Or has someone reported him to the prosecutor's office? Does he want my help?"

Lee Seung-hwan's words accurately captured Secretary Yoon's inner thoughts.

The other party was taken aback, then said in a slightly annoyed voice, "Prosecutor Lee, if it weren't for Chairman Shi's mentorship, would you be where you are today? You should know how to be grateful! Chairman Shi is indeed in some trouble right now and has been summoned to your Seoul District Prosecutors' Office. You need to go and resolve this quickly!"

Secretary Yoon, as Seok Dong-chul's confidant, wielded considerable influence within the Kinmen Group. Accustomed to being domineering, he treated Lee Seung-hwan with great disrespect.

In his view, without the chairman, Li Chenghuan would have been nothing but a peasant, and would not have achieved what he has today.

We should all know how to be grateful!

Lee Seung-hwan, too lazy to waste words with him, simply replied, "Okay, wait for my message," and hung up.

They didn't give Secretary Yin any chance to whine or complain.

Upon learning that Shi Dongchu had been summoned, he knew his opportunity had arrived.

It's time to eliminate this hidden danger in one fell swoop.

To avoid being like a time bomb, which might suddenly be detonated by someone with ulterior motives one day.

hang up the phone.

He immediately sent Zheng Zhishu to gather information.

The Seoul District Prosecutors Office is only so big, so any little thing that happens spreads quickly and everyone knows about it.

As the chairman of a large conglomerate, Seok Dong-chul's being brought back to the prosecutor's office for questioning was impossible to hide.

Zheng Zhishu quickly found out the whole story.

Back in his office, he reported to Lee Seung-hwan: "Prosecutor Lee, Seok Dong-chul, the chairman of the Kinmen Group, has recently been the subject of a series of formal police reports, alleging tax evasion, malicious stock price manipulation, illegal operation of entertainment and gambling venues, illegal organization of violent crimes, and other offenses. The case has now been taken over by Prosecutor Seo Min-young of the Commercial Crime Department for a detailed investigation."

Xu Minying?

Upon hearing this name, Lee Seung-hwan paused slightly.

That name sounds familiar; I feel like I've seen it somewhere before.

He began to peruse the original owner's memories, and soon, a cold and aloof woman's face flashed through his mind.

"So it was her!" Lee Seung-hwan was quite surprised, a hint of astonishment on his face.

This is also a female character in a movie, and she's even the female lead!

If he wasn't mistaken, the movie was called "The Youngest Son of a Tycoon".

“If it really is her, then this is interesting…” Lee Seung-hwan narrowed his eyes, a smile appearing on his lips.

But thinking of the troubles at hand, he shook his head slightly.

That old bastard Shi Dongchu is always causing trouble for us. This time, we have to kill that old man.

But the most important thing now is to get him out.

If he really stood idly by, Shi Dongchu would definitely fight him to the death.

So the question is, how can we get Prosecutor Seo Min-young to temporarily release Seok Dong-chul?

Each prosecutor handles cases independently.

Lee Seung-hwan and Seo Min-young had no connection whatsoever, not even being friends, so it was impossible for him to give up his investigation of Seok Dong-chul.

Even if you try to get close to her and become friends now, it's too late.

Think about it.

Lee Seung-hwan actually found a solution.

So he went to Minister Choi Byung-sung's office and explained his purpose.

"What? You want me to pressure Prosecutor Seo Min-young of the Commercial Crime Department to drop the investigation into Seok Dong-chul, the chairman of the Geummun Group? Holy crap, Lee Seung-hwan, are you crazy?!"

After listening, Choi Byung-sung launched into a tirade against Lee Seung-hwan.

Don't you even know your place?

Haven't you read the prosecutor's guidelines and regulations?

Each prosecutor handles cases independently, and no one else has the right to interfere, not even their superiors!

How dare you! You think you can make the head of the Criminal Investigation Department offend others by talking to him across departments? Isn't that just wishful thinking?

Seeing that Choi Byung-seong's expression was unfriendly and he was ready to kick him out at any moment, Lee Seung-hwan remained completely unconcerned.

"I was trying to help you, Minister, but you won't even help with this small request. Never mind, I was going to tell you that I had found the whereabouts of the ledger containing evidence of Chairman Wu's illegal loans. Since you're not interested, I'll take my leave."

After saying that, Li Chenghuan turned to leave.

Upon hearing this, Cui Bingcheng's eyes widened suddenly, and he hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "Wait, what did you say? You found evidence of Chairman Wu's illegal lending activities?! Where are the ledgers?!"

Lee Seung-hwan sneered upon hearing this.

He always makes excuses when asked to do things, but now that some information about his future has been revealed, Choi Byung-sung immediately gets anxious.

He wanted to test Choi Byung-sung's strength, so he said expressionlessly, "Minister, didn't you just say that your subordinate is crazy?"

Choi Byung-sung gave an awkward smile: "Seung-hwan, I just thought that after you became the chief prosecutor, you were getting cocky and wanted to take advantage of our relationship to do some inappropriate things..."

Lee Seung-hwan simply said, “Minister, as you know, ever since I took on the case investigating Councilor Jang and Chairman Wu’s illegal loans, I have been working tirelessly and have not dared to slack off in the slightest. Not long ago, I received reliable information that the ledger of the illegal transactions had fallen into the hands of Seok Dong, the chairman of the Kinmen Group. However, he seems unaware of the importance of this ledger, which is why I asked you to pressure Prosecutor Seo Min-young to release him.”

"Because I have secretly reached a cooperation agreement with Seok Dong-chul's secretary. As long as I can drop those criminal charges against Seok Dong-chul, I can gain his trust and gratitude, and then I can use that to make a deal with him and get that ledger from him."

"I'm sure you, Minister, don't need me to elaborate on what it means to you once you have the ledgers."
