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

"Prosecutor Lee, what does Park Tae-young want with you?"

Zheng Zhishu watched as Li Chenghuan, who had just entered the private room a short while ago, opened the door and came out. Through the crack in the door, he saw the mess inside the room and asked with some confusion, "You... had a fight?"

As Li Chenghuan walked out, he buttoned up the top button of his suit jacket and casually said, "That old bastard tried to blackmail me with some dirt, but I beat him up."

Look how casually Li Chenghuan spoke.

Zheng Zhishu was speechless.

“Park Tae-young is a prosecutor, no matter what. If you hit someone, and he reports you to the minister tomorrow for assaulting a colleague, you will also be punished.”

“Even if I don’t hit him, he will still report me to the minister, so he has to take this beating,” Li Chenghuan said seriously.

Zheng Zhishu: "...Can you tell me what dirt he has on you? I'm afraid that if this affects you, it might..."

Li Chenghuan waved his hand: "He said his investigation found that I had a close relationship with Shi Dongchu, and that I was guilty of embezzlement and bribery. Let him report it. I believe the minister will handle it impartially. I, Li Chenghuan, have done nothing wrong and have seen all kinds of storms. I have a clear conscience!"

Zheng Zhishu thought to himself, "Don't pretend. I don't know what your relationship with Shi Dongchu is like, but you really are greedy!"

Fortunately, he knew that Lee Seung-hwan was meticulous and never did anything without certainty. Since he dared to refuse Park Tae-young, he must have his reasons.

As a practical official, all he can do is not ask questions he shouldn't ask.

on the way home.

Lee Seung-hwan looked out the window at the buildings receding into the distance.

I feel slightly anxious.

Park Tae-young's provocation made him feel uneasy.

Is this guy's own idea, or is he being instructed by someone?

Very few people knew that he had once joined the Tiger Faction. How did he find out?

How did he find out that he had a business relationship with Shi Dongchu?

In particular, when he deduced that Seok Dong-chul knew too many of his secrets and was thus silenced, Lee Seung-hwan immediately decided to kill him.

Whether he was just guessing or knew something, he couldn't let this information spread, so he had to prepare for both possibilities.

He looked at Zheng Zhishu, who was driving in front, and said, "Zhishu, huh?"

Zheng Zhishu: "Prosecutor Li, please give your instructions."

Lee Seung-hwan: "Let Kim Gu-nam come back. His vacation should be over soon. Also, have him contact a few old bastards from Yanbian and bring them back to South Korea. Tell them not to be afraid to spend money and to make sure they find capable and shrewd people."

Zheng Zhishu nodded: "Yes, I will inform Jin Jiunan when I get back."

"Ah."

This is one of Lee Seung-hwan's trump cards, which he will not use lightly unless absolutely necessary.

The real cards will be revealed next.

So he had Zheng Zhishu escort him to Cui Bingcheng's official residence.

Choi Byung-sung, as a ministerial-level prosecutor, lives in Seocho-gu, a luxury villa community where most of the houses are detached villas.

A modern sedan was parked outside villa number 12.

Lee Seung-hwan got out of the car and stood at the door, personally ringing the doorbell.

A servant came to open the door soon.

"Prosecutor Li, Mr. Cui is waiting for you in the study."

"Thank you."

Lee Seung-hwan asked Jung Jik-soo to wait for him at the door, and then followed the servants into the villa.

On the way, Lee Seung-hwan had already informed Choi Byung-sung in advance that he had investigated Seok-dong's belongings before his birth and obtained some evidence regarding Chairman Oh's illegal loans at Future Group, and that he would report to him in person.

Choi Byung-sung was overjoyed and told him to come directly to his house.

Lee Seung-hwan followed the servant through the living room to Choi Byung-sung's study, where he met Choi Byung-sung, who was wearing pajamas.

"Minister!" Lee Seung-hwan bowed slightly, never forgetting to observe proper etiquette.

“Seung-hwan, it’s after get off work now, no need to be so formal. Come, sit down.” Choi Byung-sung smiled and patted the chair next to him, gesturing for him to sit down and talk.

Lee Seung-hwan did not sit down.

If your boss asks you to sit down and you just sit there casually, acting like you're at home, then that shows a lack of manners.

He took out a thin document that he had prepared beforehand, presented it with both hands, and displayed an attitude of being conscientious in serving his superior: "Minister, I have successfully fulfilled my mission. I have successfully found evidence of illegal loans by the chairman of the Future Group in Shi Dongchu's home. Please take a look!"

Choi Byung-sung was even more anxious about this matter than Lee Seung-hwan.

Upon hearing that Li Chenghuan had obtained some evidence, he immediately and eagerly opened the file folder to examine it carefully.

His face occasionally showed surprise, astonishment, apprehension, and regret.

Because this file contains only one-tenth of the account book that Moon Il-seok originally gave to Lee Seung-hwan.

Lee Seung-hwan wouldn't be foolish enough to hand over the complete ledger to Choi Byung-sung. This one-tenth of the content mainly concerns Future Group's tax evasion, illegal stock manipulation, and financial statement fraud.

It actually involves illegal and criminal activities.

However, no specific details about the huge sum of money illegally borrowed by Chairman Wu were provided.

It only mentioned that Oh Hyun-soo, chairman of the Future Group, pressured and bribed the president of Shinhan Bank, the third largest bank in South Korea, through National Assembly member Jang Pil-woo to illegally obtain loans for them.

As for the final whereabouts of that money and the specific details of how it was handled, there is absolutely no information.

After reading it, Choi Byung-sung frowned: "Seung-hwan, why is there no follow-up? Didn't you say that the ledger was with Seok Dong-chul? With just these materials, although they can cause some trouble for Oh Hyun-soo, they are not enough to convict him."

Lee Seung-hwan looked ashamed: "I'm sorry, Minister. It's not that I didn't want to get that ledger, but the other party reacted too quickly. I had just turned my investigation towards Seok Dong-chul when he died in a car accident. I suspect that Seok Dong-chul's death is related to Chairman Oh and Councilor Jang. They wanted to kill him to cover it up. In addition, during the investigation, we learned that Seok Dong-chul's house had also been broken into by thieves. I suspect that the ledger has been stolen."

"Furthermore, my subordinates have recently been retaliated against!"

"Huh? Is that so?"

“Yes, just now…” Lee Seung-hwan embellished Park Tae-young’s threatening words, and Choi Byung-sung’s brows furrowed immediately.

He never expected that the kid would harbor resentment because the position of chief prosecutor was given to Lee Seung-hwan, and would retaliate against Lee Seung-hwan.

He even threatened that if Lee Seung-hwan did not submit, he would ruin Lee Seung-hwan's reputation and force him to lose his position as a prosecutor.

"Damn it! This idiot! Doesn't he know Chenghuan is one of my men? How dare he spout nonsense and have such wild ideas? With his character and temperament, it's right that I didn't promote him!"

"Park Tae-young must have been instructed by someone to deliberately make his subordinate lose his prosecutor status in order to indirectly prevent me from continuing my investigation into the illegal loan case. Minister, please investigate this matter thoroughly!"

Lee Seung-hwan's words made Choi Byung-sung fall into deep thought.

Considering the recent series of events, he had good reason to believe that Representative Zhang and Future Group Chairman Oh Hyun-soo had already realized they were investigating the case and had already warned them. Choi Byung-sung's expression was uncertain.

With the final moment upon them, and only a hair's breadth away from obtaining evidence of their crimes, should they give up now?

Choi Byung-sung was somewhat unwilling.

He is a member of Congressman Kim's faction. In order to curry favor with him, he offended Congressman Jang's faction. If Congressman Jang is elected president, he will be finished.

For the sake of his future, he was unwilling to give up just like that!

Seeing Choi Byung-sung's conflicted state of mind, Lee Seung-hwan decided to give him some confidence and said, "Minister, there's something else I forgot to tell you. That thief shouldn't be one of Chairman Wu's men, otherwise they would have already come clean. I suspect they think the ledgers are in my possession, which is why they're targeting me and trying to force me to hand them over."

As soon as these words came out.

Choi Byung-sung finally made up his mind.

"Seung-hwan, go ahead and investigate. I'll take care of that traitorous bastard Park Tae-young. As long as you can find the ledgers, I guarantee no one can touch you!"

Lee Seung-hwan bowed slightly: "Thank you for your trust, Minister. I will certainly not let you down!"
