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

Chapter 342 You guessed right, but there was no reward.

Jiang Chengyou was somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.

Although he had long harbored resentment towards Li Chenghuan, he also knew that the other party was not someone to be trifled with, and that rash action could very well backfire.

So for all this time, I've never thought about revenge.

The fear is that if Li Chenghuan is thoroughly offended, the other party might resort to underhanded tactics against him.

Min Ji-young looked at the hesitant Kang Seung-woo and became a little anxious: "Prosecutor Kang, my son is really innocent. Lee Seung-hwan abused his power. Just because he had a grudge against my family, he wanted to kill my son."

"Such a domineering, ruthless, and unforgiving official is not fit to be a minister or prosecutor."

"Moreover, I heard that when you were running for minister, Li Chenghuan interfered and caused you to lose your candidacy. We both have a grudge against Li Chenghuan, so we should join forces to deal with that bastard, shouldn't we?"

Jiang Chengyou frowned slightly, picked up his teacup and took a sip, seemingly pondering, but actually weighing the pros and cons.

He looked up at Min Ji-young, his tone steady but with a hint of probing: "Associate Min, as you know, investigations are all about evidence. You say that Lee Seung-hwan abused his power, but what concrete evidence do you have? Without solid evidence, acting rashly might not only fail to bring him down, but also put us in a passive position."

Min Ji-young's heart tightened. Of course, she knew she didn't have direct evidence. All those things had been dealt with cleanly by Lee Seung-hwan, and she couldn't even bring herself to talk about the shameful things she had done to ensure her son's safety.

She bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Prosecutor Jiang, I don't really have much evidence, but Li Chenghuan has always been autocratic and ruthless."

“He has suppressed many competitors before, and you must have heard about it within the procuratorate. This time, his targeting of my son is also for ulterior motives.”

"If you're willing to help me, I can share information with you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengyou sneered inwardly. He naturally understood Min Zhiying's intentions; she simply wanted to use him to get rid of Li Chenghuan.

However, he also had his own considerations. If he could take this opportunity to bring down Li Chenghuan, he could not only avenge his previous humiliation but also advance further in his career.

After a moment's thought, he slowly said, "Congressman Min, I understand your feelings, but this matter needs to be considered carefully. Lee Seung-hwan has deep roots in the Prosecutor's Office, and there may be other forces supporting him behind the scenes."

"If we act rashly and alert him, it will be even harder to find any evidence against him later."

Min Ji-young was anxious; her son's situation was like a fire burning in her heart.

She looked at Jiang Chengyou and said urgently, "Prosecutor Jiang, I understand your concerns, but my son lives in fear every day, and could be sent to prison by Li Chenghuan at any time. Can't you think of a way to act as soon as possible?"

Seeing Min Ji-young's anxious expression, Kang Seung-woo felt secretly pleased, thinking that he finally had a bargaining chip to control Lee Seung-hwan.

He put down his teacup, crossed his arms, and said, “Councilor Min, I also want to help you solve the problem as soon as possible, but before we take action, we need to develop a comprehensive plan.”

"You go back first. I will arrange for people to secretly investigate Li Chenghuan and see if we can find any flaws in him. I will inform you as soon as I have any definite information."

Helpless, Min Zhiying could only nod, stand up, and say gratefully, "Prosecutor Jiang, then it's all up to you. As long as you can save my son, I, Min Zhiying, will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Jiang Chengyou smiled and nodded, saying, "Congressman Min, you're too kind. I'm only trying to uphold judicial fairness. Don't worry, I'll do my best."

After Min Ji-young left the tea room, the smile on Kang Seung-woo's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a gloomy expression.

“This Min Ji-young definitely has something on Lee Seung-hwan. She doesn’t dare to openly resist, fearing that Lee Seung-hwan will kill her. But she is also unwilling to let her son suffer imprisonment. Logically speaking, her husband is a well-known chaebol in Seoul. Instead of asking her husband for help, she comes to me. This stinking woman has no good intentions either, hmph.”

There are no fools among those who become members of Congress.

Min Ji-young wanted to use the feud between Kang Seung-woo and Lee Seung-hwan to make him the first to take the lead in dealing with Lee Seung-hwan.

If she succeeds, she will have avenged herself and put her mind at ease.

If she fails, Lee Seung-hwan won't be able to blame her.

After all, it was Kang Seung-woo who did it, so what does it have to do with Min Ji-young?

But even though Jiang Chengyou knew it was a trap, he still couldn't help but jump in.

Because Lee Seung-hwan is such a despicable bastard.

I had no grudge against him, yet he used underworld methods to get my father taken away for investigation into corruption and bribery, and even caused me to lose my ministerial nomination.

There were originally three people nominated as ministers.

Besides him, there was another one named Kim Jun-hyuk.

Coincidentally, Kim Jun-hyuk was also implicated because of his stepmother's illegal transportation of e-cigarettes, and lost his status as a ministerial candidate.

There were three people in total, and two of them got into trouble.

What kind of coincidence is that in this world?

Someone must be up to no good.

As the biggest beneficiary, Lee Seung-hwan was undoubtedly the mastermind behind it all!

But he has no evidence.

So he could only keep pretending to be dead, but this time it was different. Lee Seung-hwan had also offended Min Ji-young, a member of parliament, which would greatly increase his chances of winning.

"Li Chenghuan, you tricked me last time, and this time I'll get my revenge. Just you wait and see!" Jiang Chengyou's eyes were full of coldness.

However, he also knew that it would not be easy to bring down Li Chenghuan, and he had to be careful, because a slight mistake could lead to total defeat.

Therefore, we must plan carefully.

We absolutely cannot place our hopes on Min Ji-young.

Meanwhile, Min Ji-young returned home, still feeling heavy-hearted.

She knew that although Jiang Chengyou had agreed to help, the matter was still full of uncertainties.

She sat on the sofa in the living room, lost in thought.

Just then, her phone rang; it was Lee Seung-hwan calling.

Min Ji-young looked at Lee Seung-hwan's name on her phone screen and felt a surge of disgust, but she dared not refuse to answer.

She took a deep breath, pressed the answer button, and tried to make her voice sound calm: "Hello, Lee Seung-hwan, what do you want now?"

Lee Seung-hwan said calmly on the other end of the phone, "Associate Min, have you forgotten what I said so quickly? It's been several days, and it seems you have no intention of letting your son turn himself in. What, are you trying to go against me?"

Min Zhiying was furious, but dared not show it. She gritted her teeth and said, "Minister Li, could you please grant me a few more days? I'm preparing Ah Xiu's food, clothing, and other necessities for prison, and I also need to prepare some materials for her to turn herself in..."

Upon hearing this, Lee Seung-hwan sneered: "Don't embarrass yourself with such childish tricks, Min Ji-young. You're not being honest. Are you trying to find accomplices and gather dirt on me these past few days to get revenge on me?"

As soon as these words came out.

Min Ji-young was startled.

She never expected that Li Chenghuan had guessed her preparations almost perfectly.

But of course, she would never admit it.

"Of course not! I really am helping Ah Xiu with some mental preparation. Besides, you had him tortured so badly last time... he needs some time to recover..."

"Also, Lee Seung-hwan, can you please stop being so aggressive and give me a way out?"

Lee Seung-hwan dismissively replied, "Aggressive? I'm just doing my duty, ensuring the criminals receive their due punishment."

"Your son killed someone, so he should pay the price for his actions. But you, as a member of parliament, instead of working for the well-being of the people, are only thinking about protecting criminals. Do you think you deserve your current position?"

Min Ji-young was trembling with rage. She couldn't hold back any longer and shouted angrily, "Hey, Lee Seung-hwan, stop pretending to be righteous here. You're just trying to satisfy your own desires and humiliate me!"

“You guessed right, but there’s no reward.” Lee Seung-hwan said unhurriedly, “Well then, Min Ji-young, don’t think I’m too cold-blooded. Since you want your son to continue living outside and turn himself in later, then think of a way to please me.”

"If you please me and satisfy me, I can give you more time. For example, if you come and keep me company tonight, I can let your son stay out one more day. How about it?"

Upon hearing this, Min Ji-young felt a surge of intense anger and humiliation.

She knew that Lee Seung-hwan was threatening her.

She bit her lip, suppressing the anger and humiliation in her heart, and said, "Li Chenghuan, you...you are despicable!"

Li Chenghuan burst into laughter and said, "Say whatever you want. I'll give you three more days to have your son turn himself in. Otherwise, you'll regret it."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Min Ji-young sat on the sofa, holding her phone, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She knew that Lee Seung-hwan meant what he said, and if she didn't take action soon, her son might really be in dire straits.

But she was unwilling to give up so easily, so she decided to wait for news from Jiang Chengyou while continuing to try to find a way to rescue her son.
