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

"You damned Lee Seung-hwan, how dare you humiliate me like this! I'll make you pay!"

Liu Taixun's fingers trembled violently with anger as he pointed directly at Li Chenghuan. His face was flushed red, veins bulging on his forehead, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

"You're just a lowly prosecutor, yet you dare to be so disrespectful to a member of Congress like me. Do you know the consequences of offending me? I can ruin your career with a flick of my finger!"

Liu Yinghua also jumped up, her usual spoiled and willful nature reaching its peak at this moment.

With her hands on her hips and eyes wide like saucers, she cursed viciously, "You hypocrite, you've only got your eye on those bitches like Park Ji-yeon, haven't you?"

"Still pretending to be so righteous here? Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? When we get back, I'll send people to sell those bitches to the red-light district in Itaewon, so they'll know what happens when they offend me!"

Her voice was shrill and piercing, and her curses echoed throughout the private room. The twisted and ferocious look on her face made her originally pretty face look particularly terrifying.

Looking at the father and daughter, Lee Seung-hwan felt a surge of disgust.

"I was originally going to give you a chance."

"Who knew you'd refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit?"

Suddenly, he reached for the table and grabbed a wine bottle. Before Liu Taixun and Liu Yinghua could react, they heard a loud bang as the bottle exploded on Li Chenghuan's head.

Glass shards flew everywhere, and a stream of blood gushed down his forehead, instantly staining his face and collar red.

Liu Taixun and Liu Yinghua were both stunned by this sudden scene. Their eyes widened and their mouths were agape, completely unable to believe what was happening before their eyes.

Liu Taixun's hand froze in mid-air, his previously aggressive expression now turning into fear and confusion.

Liu Yinghua was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly, falling down onto a chair with a thud. The arrogance on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a trace of fear.

"Damn it, Lee Seung-hwan, are you... are you crazy? What are you doing?" Liu Tai-xun stammered.

Lee Seung-hwan wiped the blood from his face, looking at the two of them with a wicked smile. The smile looked particularly eerie against the backdrop of the blood.

"How dare you assault a prosecutor! This is utterly lawless! Don't you know what the charges are for assaulting law enforcement officers in South Korea?"

His voice was deep and cold, but every word was like a bombshell.

Liu Taixun was stunned. He waved his hands instinctively and stammered, "No, I didn't do anything! How could I have attacked you? You...you're framing me!"

His eyes began to show panic, and cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.

He got it.

That damned bastard.

He's trying to sabotage himself!

Liu Yinghua also came to her senses and started cursing again: "You despicable and shameless bastard, you actually used such despicable means to frame us! What bullshit justice, it's all fake, you are a scoundrel who will stop at nothing!"

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Li Chenghuan's eyes.

He strode up to Liu Yinghua in one step, so fast that no one could react in time.

His hand gripped Liu Yinghua's hair like a pair of pliers. Liu Yinghua screamed in terror and desperately tried to pry Li Chenghuan's hand off.

Li Chenghuan showed no sign of letting go. He pressed down hard, and Liu Yinghua's head slammed onto the table.

With a muffled thud, the tableware on the table jumped up.

Liu Yinghua's face was instantly covered in blood and gore, with blood gushing from her nose and mouth.

Even so, Li Chenghuan still hasn't let go.

He pressed her head down and slammed it hard onto the table again.

He slammed it several times in succession.

She screamed and wailed, desperately pleading with her father, "Father, save me! Father..."

Such a bloody and violent scene.

Liu Taixun was utterly stunned.

He never expected that Lee Seung-hwan's true nature was that of a complete madman.

He would self-harm at the slightest disagreement and then use such violent means to deal with his daughter.

This guy is a complete mad dog!

Liu Taixun was furious. He rushed forward to stop him and shouted at Li Chenghuan, "You son of a bitch, let go of my daughter!"

"You madman, do you know what you're doing?"

“I’m going to appeal to the court and the prosecutor general, and put pressure on your Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office Chief Prosecutor, Seo Jae-hyun, to make you resign. I’m absolutely not joking!”

His voice was hoarse with anger, and his eyes were practically spitting fire.

Ignoring his threat, Lee Seung-hwan stepped forward and slapped Yoo Tae-hoon several times across the face.

These slaps were extremely powerful, making Liu Taixun spin around on the spot, leaving him somewhat dizzy and disoriented.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and several red handprints quickly swelled up on his face.

Lee Seung-hwan grabbed Yoo Tae-hoon by the collar, pulled his face close to his own, and said with a sneer, "I'm not joking with you."

"Old man, trying to fool me? Do you even have the right?"

"Do you really think I got to where I am today by compromising and yielding? To others, I can be a star prosecutor, but when it comes to my enemies, I can take off my suit and be a thug just as easily!"

"Either you make this bitch apologize publicly, or I'll make you follow in Zhang Shijun's footsteps. You know how Zhang Shijun died and who he opposed before he died, don't you?"

Upon hearing the mention of Zhang Shijun, Liu Taixun's body trembled violently, and a look of extreme fear appeared on his face.

Zhang Shijun is one of the best among their members of parliament.

His ranking and importance are far higher than those of a seasoned veteran like him.

A once high-ranking member of parliament was disgraced overnight and died mysteriously by suicide after opposing Lee Seung-hwan.

This incident caused a huge uproar in South Korean politics.

Although Zhang Shijun committed suicide.

But many people speculate that Lee Seung-hwan must have been involved behind the scenes.

It is said that from the beginning, Jang Se-joon suspected that his wife, Choi Yoo-jin, was having an affair with Lee Seung-hwan.

Liu Taixun never expected that he would face such a threat today.

Looking at Liu Taixun's pale face, Li Chenghuan sneered as he released Liu Taixun's collar, patted his chubby face that was flushed with frustration, and then wiped his hands on his clothes in disgust.

He said, "By tonight, I want to see a video of Liu Yinghua publicly apologizing, admitting her mistakes, and retiring from the entertainment industry. Otherwise, I'll send both of you, father and daughter, to jail, understand?"

"If you can raise a bitch like this, you, Liu Taixun, are no good either. If I want to investigate you, do you think you can escape?"

"Do you really think I don't know that you've hidden a large amount of political donations in that villa in XX Residential Area, XX-dong, Gangnam District?"

“Old man, by the time you agreed to come see me, my investigators and subordinates had already taken care of things.”

Upon hearing Li Chenghuan's words, Liu Taixun felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

He never expected that Li Chenghuan would discover that he had hidden the ill-gotten gains from accepting bribes.

His mind was in chaos, and his heart was filled with despair and fear.

He knew that if Li Chenghuan dared to say that, he must be absolutely certain.

If he does not do as Li Chenghuan says, his political career and freedom will be in vain.

"I...I promise you, I'll make Sakura apologize and leave the industry right away..." Liu Taixun said in a trembling voice, his eyes filled with helplessness and humiliation.

He looked at his daughter, whose face was covered in blood and who was still groaning in pain, and felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.

His once arrogant and domineering daughter, who had been under his protection, had now become his biggest burden.

Hearing her father's words, Liu Yinghua was filled with resentment, but she knew that she had no room to resist at this moment.

God knows how much money she spent on surgery to get that face.

Lee Seung-hwan broke her face, and it's unimaginable how long the repairs will take.

Furthermore, he will have to leave the entertainment industry and issue a public apology.

This means that from now on she will become a clown that everyone hates.

From now on, you can't leave the house without wearing a mask.

This means her life and everything is ruined.

She kept her head down, her eyes filled with hatred.

She was determined to avenge this.

But she also knew that she had no choice but to do as Li Chenghuan asked for now, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Not only will her fate be even worse, but her father will also be doomed.

Seeing this, Li Chenghuan nodded in satisfaction. He took out his phone and made a call: "Arrange for someone to come and assist in supervising Liu Yinghua's public apology and retirement from the entertainment industry. It must be done tonight."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Liu Taixun and his daughter and said coldly, "I hope you don't try anything funny. As long as you behave, I'm actually very easy to talk to."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the private room.

Liu Taixun and his daughter were left in the private room, immersed in anger and immense frustration.

Until Li Chenghuan left.

Liu Taixun then helped his daughter up.

Then, they rushed the injured Liu Yinghua to the hospital for treatment. After examining Liu Yinghua's injuries, the doctor told them that she had suffered severe impact to her facial skin, nasal bone, brow bone, and chin, resulting in numerous fractures and cracks. She needed to undergo comprehensive facial plastic surgery, and the recovery period would be very long, with a certain probability of disfigurement.

After hearing this, Liu Taixun's face turned terribly gloomy.

He just couldn't swallow this insult.

He began calling his confidants and advisors to discuss how to deal with Lee Seung-hwan.

"Damn it, this Lee Seung-hwan is too arrogant! I absolutely can't let this go! You guys need to think of a way to make him pay the price!" Liu Tai-xun roared into the phone.

The aides on the other end of the phone all said they would try to find a solution, but they also knew that Lee Seung-hwan was not so easy to deal with.

He enjoyed immense prestige among the common people, and was ruthless and had a wide network of connections.

Bringing him down is easier said than done.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Taixun leaned back in the armchair and closed his eyes. The image of Li Chenghuan's mocking smile flashed through his mind, intensifying his hatred.

Meanwhile, Liu Yinghua lay on the hospital bed, her face wrapped in thick gauze. After hearing the doctor's words, her heart was filled with resentment. She hated Li Chenghuan, hated those who exposed her shameful deeds, and hated herself even more for ending up in this state.

"Waaaah... Dad, that bastard Li Chenghuan, he's going to ruin your daughter, and he's going to ruin you too. Are we really just supposed to swallow our anger and endure this?"

We must avenge this!

I want him dead!

Liu Yinghua's bloodied and mangled face, hidden beneath the gauze, was filled with resentment and hatred.

Upon hearing this, Liu Taixun gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely avenge this humiliation, but not now. I can't do anything to this bastard by myself. I need to find some help."

"I happen to know that this little bastard has offended presidential candidate Representative Kim Seok-woo. He's powerful now, so if I go and seek refuge with him, he'll definitely be willing to help me!"

Liu Yinghua was finally satisfied. Her eyes were filled with hatred as she said, "Father, I also want him to taste the bitterness of being disgraced and abandoned by everyone!"

On the other side, after dealing with Liu Taixun and his daughter...

Lee Seung-hwan returned to his office at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office and sat down. By then, the wound on his forehead had stopped healing and was even beginning to heal.

It's impossible to tell from the outside.

After all, his physique is different from ordinary people; that's his advantage.

Otherwise, he'd be so bored as to smash a bottle over his own head.

It was all to keep Liu Taixun and his daughter in check.

Without any evidence, if he were to directly attack someone, he might run into some trouble.

Let's trick them first and frame them for starting the fight.

This makes perfect sense.

I reviewed everything that happened today.

He knew that Liu Taixun would not give up easily and would definitely try every means to take revenge on him.

But he was prepared; he would not back down, whether from threats from Liu Taixun or pressure from other powerful figures.

not to mention.

To be honest, Liu Taixun is just an old good-for-nothing, not worth mentioning.

They have the least say in Congress and no real power; they just rely on seniority. This is something that father and daughter have inherited—they're both scoundrels.

The real threats to him come from Kim Seok-woo and Park Kwan-soo, and the so-called Loyalty Club behind them.

They could kill Zhang Biyu silently.

This method is indeed a bit scary.

Just then, his cell phone rang.

It was a call from my father-in-law, Chief Prosecutor Xu Zaixian.

“Chenghuan, I heard you had a conflict with Liu Taixun today? You acted a bit too impulsively. After all, Liu Taixun is a member of parliament. We should consider the impact.”

Xu Zaixian's voice carried a hint of helplessness.

She thinks her son-in-law is perfect in every way.

He just loves to cause trouble everywhere and is a womanizer.

His father-in-law is having a real headache.

To be honest, if it weren't for his daughter Xu Minying's insistence on having him, and the fact that this young man was indeed capable, far surpassing the average young talent, he really wouldn't want this young man to be his son-in-law.

They're such troublemakers.

He was genuinely afraid that one day Lee Seung-hwan would be dealt a cruel blow by his opponents, leaving Min-young to live a life of widowhood.

Upon hearing this, Lee Seung-hwan smiled and said, "Chief Prosecutor, I know what I'm doing."

“Liu Tai-xun and his daughter are tainted and not clean at all. I can’t tolerate such a thing, which is why I stood up for them.”

“They have something on me, so they won’t dare to act recklessly.”

Xu Zaixian was silent for a moment, then said, "I believe in your ability and determination, but you must also be careful. If you need anything, just let me know, and I will fully support you."

"By the way, are you coming over for dinner tonight?"

"Let's also discuss your engagement party with Min-young..."
