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

Hearing the suppressed anger and fury in Min Ji-young's voice before she hung up the phone, Lee Seung-hwan's lips curled up slightly.

He deliberately provoked this woman, and then deliberately gave her time, making her feel that she still had a chance to turn the tables. In reality, there was an even bigger pit waiting for her to fall into.

It has to be said that the feeling of manipulating people is really exhilarating. What he really values ​​is Min Zhi's status as a British Member of Parliament. To complete that plan, he needs to control more members of Parliament, and she is just one of them.

It was almost time to get off work.

He had originally planned to have dinner with Xu Minying.

Then my phone rang, and when I looked at the contact name, it was Jin Meixiao calling.

Could it be that she has successfully resigned from the Unique Group and is preparing to come find me?

Last time, Lee Seung-hwan went to great lengths to poach her from Lee Young-joon and get her to agree to be his secretary.

However, Li Yingjun kept her on the grounds that she had not notified the company in advance and therefore needed to train a new secretary for the company before he would let her go.

Lee Seung-hwan could have helped her resign directly.

However, respecting her decision, she was allowed to stay a little longer.

It should be less than a month from now.

Has Li Yingjun come to his senses and decided to release them?

Although Li Chenghuan had some doubts, he quickly answered the phone.

"Prosecutor Li...Prosecutor Li, save me..."

On the other end of the phone came Jin Meixiao's tearful plea for help, her voice filled with fear and helplessness.

Upon hearing this, Li Chenghuan's heart tightened, and he immediately sat up straight, asking in a deep voice, "Meixiao, what's wrong? What happened?"

“I…Prosecutor Li, I’m currently in Kowloon Village, on my way to a loan shark company to help my father pay off his loan. He… owes this loan shark company a large sum of money because of gambling…and he’s been detained here. They say I have to pay money before they can release him.”

“I came to Kowloon Village to redeem someone as demanded by the loan sharks, but I was harassed by a group of thugs on the way. I’m hiding in an abandoned house now, and they’re still looking for me everywhere…” Jin Meixiao said intermittently, sobbing softly.

Upon hearing this, Lee Seung-hwan frowned immediately.

He remembered that in the drama "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim," Kim Mi-so's father was indeed a gambling addict, both stupid and wicked. He had a group of bad friends outside, not only gambling excessively but also easily trusting others, acting as a guarantor for others, and owing a lot of money.

As a result, Jin Meixiao has been helping her family pay off debts and fill the financial hole all these years.

They were finally able to pay off their family's debts.

And then her father caused trouble again?

This is why, in Korean dramas, Kim Mi-so has such a troublesome family, yet she still manages to find a domineering CEO. In reality, Kim Mi-so would definitely be dragged down to death by such a family.

Lee Seung-hwan frowned. He knew Kowloon Village well; it was one of Seoul's largest slums, a melting pot of all sorts of people and rife with criminals. Knowing that Kim Mi-so was in danger, he said without hesitation, "Mimi-so, don't panic. Tell me your approximate location, and I'll be right there!"

When Kim Mi-so heard Lee Seung-hwan say he was coming to find her, she felt a little relieved and then quietly reported her exact location to him.

After hanging up the phone, Lee Seung-hwan quickly got up, called the investigator Kim Dae-hae, and asked him to drive him to Kowloon Village at full speed.

With the prosecutor's office's official vehicles leading the way, no one dared to stop them, so they sped along and soon arrived outside Kowloon Village.

Meanwhile, in a dark and damp corner of a warehouse in Kowloon Village, Kim Mi-so huddled in a corner filled with garbage.

She covered her mouth tightly with both hands, afraid to make a sound. Her eyes were filled with fear, and tears welled up in them.

The greedy and lustful looks from those thugs still haunted her. She didn't know how much longer she could hide, and could only pray that Li Chenghuan would come to rescue her soon.

Outside the warehouse, several thugs were searching for Jin Meixiao.

The leader of the thugs, with multicolored dyed hair and a hideous scar on his face, said viciously, "Damn it, that little wench can't have gone far. Look carefully! If you find her, you'll get your share!"

The other thugs chimed in, searching the area like a pack of wolves.

They outnumbered and outgunned.

With his familiarity with the terrain and thorough search, one of his underlings quickly discovered Kim Mi-so's whereabouts.

"There she is!"

Instantly, everyone turned their attention to the corner of the warehouse, and bursts of sinister laughter erupted.

"Haha, this little girl hid pretty well. We've been looking for you for ages."

"Don't be afraid of beautiful women, we're not bad people."

"We just wanted to invite you to dinner."

"Yes, come with us, we're very gentle."

"..."

He listened as the thugs' lewd laughter slowly approached him.

Jin Meixiao desperately covered her mouth, trying not to make a sound.

They were getting closer and closer.

Just as they were about to find Kim Mi-so's hiding place.

Crunch!

A sharp screech of brakes followed.

Lee Seung-hwan has arrived!

He pushed open the car door, his eyes sharp as he quickly scanned his surroundings. Soon, he spotted the thugs.

Li Chenghuan walked towards the thugs without hesitation, his steps steady and powerful.

The gang leader was taken aback when he saw Li Chenghuan, then sneered, "Hey, where did this kid come from, daring to meddle in my business? If you know what's good for you, get lost!"

Lee Seung-hwan stared at him coldly, without saying a word.

Seeing that Li Chenghuan showed no sign of backing down, the thugs surrounded him, carrying sticks and other weapons.

"Looks like you're going to have to suffer the consequences!" At the leader's command, the thugs swarmed forward and pounced on Li Chenghuan.

Li Chenghuan's eyes sharpened instantly, and he moved like a ghost among the thugs.

He threw a punch and broke a thug's arm; the sound of bones snapping sent chills down everyone's spine.

Then, with a kick, another thug flew several meters away like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground.

Faced with the knife and stick attacking from behind, Li Chenghuan neither dodged nor evaded, relying on his superhuman physique to withstand the blows. The knife and stick struck him as if hitting steel, unable to harm him in the slightest.

The thugs were stunned by Li Chenghuan's powerful fighting skills; they never expected this seemingly ordinary man to be so formidable.

Seeing this, the gang leader felt a little flustered, but still stubbornly insisted:

"You...you better not be so arrogant! There are more of us than you, you're not getting away today!"

Li Chenghuan sneered, pulled out a pistol from his waist, and fired a shot into the leg of the gang leader without hesitation.

"what!"

The gang leader screamed and fell to the ground, clutching his injured leg and groaning in pain.

The other thugs turned pale with fright, dropped their weapons, and knelt down to beg for mercy.

"No...don't kill us! We were wrong!" the thugs cried out in terror.

They were all terrified.

Damn it, who would carry a gun around all the time?

Those who can casually pull out a handgun are either police officers or prosecutors.

This guy is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!

Li Chenghuan holstered his pistol, looked at them coldly, and said, "Get out! Don't let me see you bullying innocent people again!" The thugs were overjoyed and scrambled away.

Kim Mi-so walked out of the warehouse, looking at the scene before her, her heart filled with admiration for Lee Seung-hwan.

Her eyes shone with light; the fear she had felt moments before had been dispelled by Li Chenghuan's bravery.

“Prosecutor Li, thank you…” Jin Meixiao said softly, her voice tinged with guilt.

Li Chenghuan looked at her, smiled slightly, and said, "It's good that you're alright. Let's go, let's go and resolve your father's usury problem."

Lee Seung-hwan brought Kim Mi-so to the loan shark company.

The company manager's face turned deathly pale when he saw Lee Seung-hwan and Kim Mi-so walk in. He recognized Lee Seung-hwan as a prosecutor and was filled with terror.

"Minister Li... Minister Li, why... why are you here?" the manager stammered, his voice filled with fear.

Lee Seung-hwan looked at him coldly and said, "I've come to ask you why you're making things difficult for Kim Mi-so. How much money does her father owe you?"

The manager quickly said, "Prosecutor Lee, we were just following the rules. Her father borrowed 50 million won from us, and now, with interest, it has ballooned to 100 million won..."

Li Chenghuan frowned and said angrily, "You are engaging in usury, with interest compounding on interest. This is utterly lawless!"

The manager trembled with fear and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Prosecutor Li, I... I'm just an employee. The real boss is someone else. Please, have mercy on me. We'll waive the loan sharking fee for Jin Meixiao's father. I'm willing to give you some money. Please be lenient..."

Upon hearing this, Li Chenghuan sneered and cursed, "What are you doing? Trying to bribe me? I, a dignified prosecutor, would never take a single needle or thread from the people!"

"It's only right to pay back debts. Since her father owes you money, he must pay it back! But only make him pay back the principal; all the exorbitant interest will be waived! If he doesn't pay, then beat him up if you want; don't hold back!"

The manager was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

He had initially thought Lee Seung-hwan would take everything, but he hadn't expected Lee Seung-hwan to have this kind of attitude. "Prosecutor Lee...you...you're..."

The manager was somewhat at a loss.

Lee Seung-hwan looked at him and said seriously, "I know that usury is common in every country, and its existence has its reasons."

"But you can't go too far and drive people to desperation."

"The root of this problem lies with Jin Meixiao's father. He's a gambling addict and borrows money, and he always makes his daughter clean up his messes. Is that reasonable?"

"He's at your company now, right?"

The loan shark manager hurriedly nodded and bowed, saying, "Yes, he was invited to our company as a guest. Please don't misunderstand, we didn't do anything, and we treated him to good food and drink."

"Now that Minister Li has spoken, our company will definitely correct its mistakes and stop doing things that violate the law."

"By the way, should I go and call that guy out so he can come home with you two?"

To everyone's surprise, Li Chenghuan waved his hand and said indifferently, "Let him stay here with you. Treat him well and make sure he understands what it means for a gambler to have a bad end, understand?"

The manager understood immediately.

It turns out that Minister Li was also very angry about those gambling addicts, and even wanted them to "treat" him properly.

Then he won't be polite.

Kim Mi-so, listening to Lee Seung-hwan's words, felt deeply ashamed.

She lowered her head, reflecting on her long-standing behavior of being a "father-supporting demon".

Li Chenghuan is right. His indulgence not only failed to solve the problem, but also plunged the family into a deeper quagmire.

After the two left the company.

“Prosecutor Lee, I’m sorry…” Kim Mi-so looked up and said to Lee Seung-hwan with her eyes full of guilt.

Lee Seung-hwan said with a straight face, "Is a simple 'sorry' enough?" Kim Mi-so was stunned, too nervous to know what to say.

Lee Seung-hwan pointed to his face, grinned mischievously, and said, "I saved you once, shouldn't you kiss me to repay me?"

Kim Mi-soo's face instantly turned bright red with embarrassment; she hadn't expected Lee Seung-hwan to make such a request.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally approached Lee Seung-hwan shyly and gave him a light kiss on the cheek.

Lee Seung-hwan looked at the shy Kim Mi-so and couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Let's go back first, and don't put ourselves in such dangerous situations again."

Jin Mei smiled and nodded, her face flushed, and followed Li Chenghuan out of the loan shark company.

The manager respectfully saw them out of the village, secretly relieved that he had escaped a disaster.

That's terrifying!
