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

As soon as Li Chenghuan arrived at the prosecutor's office, he was summoned to his office by his superior, the head of the criminal department, which immediately made his heart skip a beat.

Has my identity as an undercover agent in the gang been exposed?

Should we run away now?

Chief Prosecutor Li's Practitioner Working Group: Yao Lingyao, Ba Ba Ling, Qi San San Yao

Lee Seung-hwan's expression was somewhat uncertain.

There's no way around it; anyone with the stain of being an undercover agent in a gang would feel uneasy.

Especially in places like the prosecutor's office.

Once his identity is exposed, he will be torn to shreds by these prosecutors in no time!

His undercover identity as a gangster was always a huge problem and a fatal weakness that needed to be resolved as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the only people in the world who knew his identity were Seok Dong-chul and his trusted secretary.

[Once we get rid of them... all problems will be solved!]

The thought had been in Lee Seung-hwan's mind ever since he learned of his undercover identity after transmigrating.

Shi Dongchu must die.

Even if he didn't kill him, according to the original plot, he would have been killed by someone else.

After a moment's thought, Lee Seung-hwan felt that the probability of him being exposed was not high.

If the prosecutor's office already knew his undercover identity, they probably would have had a team of police lying in wait at the door, ready to arrest him as soon as he got out of the car.

But clearly, it didn't.

Therefore, the minister must have had something else to discuss with him.

After careful consideration, Li Chenghuan decided to observe the situation first.

He was unwilling to give up his identity as a prosecutor unless absolutely necessary.

This is his biggest asset in South Korea, allowing him to roam freely and climb the ladder of power!

Lost in thought, Lee Seung-hwan followed the minister's assistant to the door of the minister's office.

[call……]

He first took a deep breath, suppressed his thoughts, and quickly calmed down.

He tidied himself up before slowly knocking on the door.

[Knock knock knock...]

"Come in." A slightly serious voice came from inside the office.

"Yes, Minister."

Lee Seung-hwan pushed the door open and entered, then turned around and quietly closed it.

Then he turned around and looked around the office.

At a glance, he saw the head of the Criminal Investigation Department 3 sitting behind his desk. According to the original owner's memories, the head of the department was named Choi Byung-sung.

Judging from his age, he should be around forty or fifty years old. He has slightly deep eye bags, and his face gives people a cunning feeling of eagle-eyed wolf. Although he is not tall, only about 1.7 meters, he has an overwhelming aura of authority that makes people dare not look him in the eye.

[A dangerous old fox.]

This was Choi Byung-sung's first impression of Lee Seung-hwan.

He slowly walked to the desk, bowed respectfully, and looked at the tips of his shoes: "Minister, I heard you wanted to see me?"

In South Korean politics, unless you've already reached the pinnacle of your career and become the supreme prosecutor general or president, you have to bow and scrape before anyone of higher rank.

When colleagues nod to each other or bow slightly, this is called a gesture of respect.

If you encounter your boss or senior colleague, or a leader with a higher position, the greater the bow should be.

Lee Seung-hwan bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle as soon as he came up, displaying impeccable manners.

Choi Byung-sung looked at the well-dressed, sharp-looking young man in front of him and nodded slightly.

What he likes most are young people who have no connections in the prosecutor's office, are energetic, and hardworking.

This means they are the best cattle and horses.

All you need to do is give them a little something sweet and some feedback.

They worked tirelessly for him, as if they were on steroids.

“Chenghuan, there’s no need to be so reserved. You are an outstanding prosecutor in my Criminal Division 3. I have been watching your work attitude over the past few years. I also know that many of your colleagues who joined the prosecutor’s office at the same time have been promoted and given important responsibilities, while you have remained stagnant. You have always longed for an opportunity, an opportunity to make a name for yourself, right?”

Choi Byung-sung immediately revealed that he thought highly of Lee Seung-hwan and even knew of his ambition to be given important responsibilities.

It seemed to imply a promotion for him.

Lee Seung-hwan, however, felt that something was amiss.

Judging from the original owner's memories.

He really didn't have any powerful connections in the prosecutor's office. Shi Dongchu didn't really have any powerful connections. In fact, it was already incredibly lucky that Shi Dongchu was able to find a pawn like Li Chenghuan who could pass the prosecutor's exam.

It's difficult for the Kinmen Group to provide any assistance to Lee Seung-hwan. On the contrary, Lee Seung-hwan has become the Kinmen Group's biggest backer, forcing Seok Dong-chul to resort to coercion and enticement to keep him in check.

As far as I can remember, because he came from a humble background and had no connections, his opportunities for promotion and advancement were often snatched away.

He did the most of the dirty and hard work.

He never gets a chance to be promoted or get a raise.

As a member of a circle influenced by Chinese culture, South Korea surpasses its predecessors in matters of interpersonal relationships and seniority.

If nothing unexpected happens, Li Chenghuan will probably have to endure ten years of hardship at the grassroots level before he might get a chance to be transferred to a higher position.

This brings us to the discussion of the prosecutor's tiers in South Korea.

The ranks, from lowest to highest, are: Trainee Prosecutor, Prosecutor, Chief Prosecutor, Minister, Deputy Minister, Prosecutor General, Senior Prosecutor General, and Prosecutor General!

A prosecutor without connections may not be able to obtain the title of chief prosecutor even if they work their way up from the bottom.

As for rising to the ministerial level or above, it would be impossible unless one solved a major case that shocked the entire nation, or imprisoned a member of parliament, a tycoon chairman, or even the president.

This is why every South Korean president, once their term ends, is investigated by prosecutors and relentlessly attacked like a mad dog, ultimately either ending up in jail or driven to suicide.

Because this is the fastest way for them to make a name for themselves!

Although we don't know what Choi Byung-sung is up to.

Lee Seung-hwan had to say the nice, polite words first.

He bowed slightly to Choi Byung-seong again and said:

“I am deeply humbled that the minister values ​​me so highly. As a prosecutor of the Republic of Korea, I only want to serve the people wholeheartedly and solve problems for the minister and leaders. Opportunities for promotion and salary increases should be left to more outstanding colleagues and seniors.”

“I am still young and have a lot to learn, especially from outstanding senior prosecutors like Minister Cui. As a veteran prosecutor who has been working on the front line, you have rich experience in handling cases and possess exceptional wisdom. Even a casual remark from you can greatly benefit us younger prosecutors.”

"Chenghuan only hopes to have more opportunities to learn from Minister Cui in the future. I really want to improve!"

Lee Seung-hwan's words were both humble and ingratiating.

He also made a few irrelevant compliments to Cui Bingcheng.

This instantly eased the latter's brow, and he couldn't help but nod slightly, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips.

"Haha, Chenghuan, how come I never knew you were such a smooth talker?"

He praised you, saying, "You are neither arrogant nor impatient, and your attitude is correct. You are an excellent prosecutor who can be entrusted with important tasks. Then I won't sell you any more coffins. I called you here because I have an important task to entrust to you."

[Here we are.]

Seeing that Choi Byung-sung had finally gone around in circles and was about to get to the main point, Lee Seung-hwan's expression immediately turned serious: "Minister, please give your orders. I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

“Very good.” This was exactly what Choi Byung-sung wanted to hear from Lee Seung-hwan.

Young people are young people.

Give them a glimmer of hope, and they'll get all fired up immediately.

What a useful chess piece!

Cui Bingcheng was very satisfied.

After a moment's thought, he slowly began to speak: "It's like this. I recently received a tip from an informant that Jang Pil-woo, the most popular member of parliament with the best chance of running for president, and his chaebol backer, Chairman Oh of the Future Group, are involved in an illegal loan case that has caused a major loss of state assets, with the amount involved reaching as high as 800 billion won!"

“I need you, Chenghuan, to investigate this illegal loan case and obtain evidence that Chairman Wu illegally coerced the bank manager into granting him an illegal loan. In addition, Representative Zhang is also involved in this matter and may even be one of the masterminds.”

"If you can get your hands on the evidence of Councilor Zhang and Chairman Wu's crimes, I can promise that after it's done, I will promote you to Chief Prosecutor of Criminal Division 3 and make you my right-hand man!"

After listening to the task assigned by Cui Bingcheng.

Lee Seung-hwan just wanted to curse.

Grass!

He was tasked with investigating Congressman Jang, a lowly prosecutor, and the chairman of a top conglomerate.

Are you out of your mind, Choi Byung-sung?!

He suddenly remembered a similar plot in Journey to the West from his previous life, where the Nine-Headed Insect ordered Benbo'erba to eliminate Tang Sanzang and his disciples...

Benboerba: If I could get rid of Tang Sanzang and his companions, would you be sleeping in the same room as Princess Wansheng?

I'm just a lowly prosecutor, and you expect me to take down a member of Congress and a chaebol chairman?

You son of a bitch Choi Byung-sung, do you want me to die again?!
