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

That morning, no one knew what Lee Seung-hwan and Choi Byung-sung talked about in the office, but shortly after he left the office...

More than a dozen prosecutors in Criminal Division 3 simultaneously received a shocking message.

[Due to his outstanding work and exceptional performance, Prosecutor Lee Seung-hwan has been highly regarded by the top leaders of the Prosecutor's Office and promoted to Chief Prosecutor of Criminal Division 3!]

Wow!

The moment this news broke, the prosecutors in the Criminal Division 3 were in an uproar, their faces filled with disbelief.

Some people were envious, some were jealous, some questioned, and some even broke down...

Inside an office.

Crackling!

A large stack of documents, teacups, and even vases were smashed against the wall, leaving a mess on the floor, a testament to the immense anger of the person who had vented their frustration.

"Damn it, why should I?!"

"How could a junior like Lee Seung-hwan be promoted to chief prosecutor!"

"How long has he been with the prosecutor's office? Two and a half years? Or three?"

"I've been in Criminal Investigation Department 3 for eight years!"

"Eight years! That damned guy, how dare he steal the position that was rightfully mine!"

"I don't agree!"

"He must have made some kind of deal with that old bastard Cui Bingcheng, colluding with him and pulling strings behind the scenes!"

"Damn it, I will never let you get away with this, Lee Seung-hwan!"

Park Tae-young was yelling and cursing wildly in his office.

He is 35 years old this year, and as the most senior prosecutor in the Criminal Division, he has been seeking the position of chief prosecutor.

I had spoken to Choi Byung-sung long ago, and he had been very generous with his gifts. Choi agreed to consider giving him a spot, and said that he had a good chance of getting it.

But just when he was full of hope, reality dealt him a heavy blow.

The entire Criminal Division III only had three chief prosecutor positions, two of which were filled through connections and had already been decided internally.

Don't ask why, just ask why: it's because three generations of prosecutors!

The only remaining spot is the one we can fight for.

Given his qualifications, he should have rightfully earned the last position of chief prosecutor.

He had already made arrangements with everyone, from top to bottom, and even boasted to his relatives, friends, and subordinates that the position of chief prosecutor was rightfully his.

But now the opposing side has refuted their claims.

His dream was shattered, and he was furious.

At the same time, he also came to hate Lee Seung-hwan!

He didn't blame Choi Byung-sung, but only blamed Lee Seung-hwan, that despicable and shameless scoundrel, for cutting off his lifeline and doing this to him, making him feel more disgusted than if he had swallowed a fly.

To ruin someone's future is like killing their parents.

He couldn't swallow this insult and immediately summoned his executive officer to his office.

"Tae-soo, go investigate Lee Seung-hwan. Investigate everything about him from birth to now, the more detailed the better. I refuse to believe that this bastard is without a stain. If I find even the slightest incriminating evidence, he's dead!"

Park Tae-young gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes!"

As Park Tae-young's chief of staff and cousin, Park Tae-soo was naturally on the same side as his cousin. His cousin's position as chief was originally a sure thing, but now someone had interfered, which made him very angry.

Even though the other party was also a prosecutor, he would absolutely not let it go!

Lee Seung-hwan, of course, had no idea that he had taken someone else's position.

He was sitting in his office, receiving congratulations from some of his fellow prosecutors within the Criminal Division.

In response, Lee Seung-hwan adopted a fake smile, greeting every colleague with a smile and saying that he was still relatively inexperienced and had a lot to learn from his seniors. He also offered to treat everyone to dinner after get off work that evening, asking them to make sure to attend!

Lee Seung-hwan's humble attitude naturally won him the favor of some people.

Although he was promoted, he didn't have that arrogance or sense of superiority. He didn't put on a bureaucratic or smug face, which made some of his colleagues who were originally unhappy with him feel less disgusted with him.

In fact, besides Park Tae-young, many others within the organization also wanted to compete for the chief position. As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face, and Lee Seung-hwan's humble attitude made it difficult for those who were originally unhappy with him to retaliate.

He sent his colleagues away.

Only then did Li Chenghuan have time to sit down and reflect on his current situation.

Currently, he is walking a tightrope over a cliff. He hasn't even dealt with the hidden dangers on Shi Dongchu's side yet, and now he is forced to face a member of parliament and a chaebol chairman, as well as a hidden and extremely insidious newspaper editor, Lee Kang-hee. That guy is no less troublesome than the chaebol and the member of parliament.

In particular, he also controls a large criminal gang, wielding both influence and violence. Li Chenghuan currently has very few people at his disposal.

Logically, he could have used the power of the Kinmen Group, but Lee Seung-hwan didn't want to get too entangled with Seok Dong-chul.

He coveted the Kinmen Group, and he also wanted to control Ding Qing, the elevator strategist, and Li Zicheng, his two capable lieutenants.

At least not now, we have to kill Shi Dongchu first.

Therefore, Li Chenghuan needed to find a way to recruit a few reliable subordinates, the kind who could do the dirty work, the hard work, and the shady stuff.

Zheng Zhishu is a good pragmatist and also his confidant. It would be a waste of his talents to ask him to do dirty work.

Regardless, he has now managed to establish a foothold in the prosecutor's office, and things are temporarily stable on Shi Dongchu's side as well.

Before confronting the other party, Lee Seung-hwan doesn't need to worry about the risk of being exposed.

This period was his opportunity to rapidly expand his business.

I sit in the office all morning.

dong dong dong.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Zheng Zhishu pushed open the door and bowed, saying, "Prosecutor Li, you've been working for a long time. It's time to go eat."

"Okay, I'm a little hungry. Are there any good restaurants nearby?" Li Chenghuan stood up, crumpled the A4 paper covered with plans on the table into a ball, and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Yes, there is. There's a barbecue and soybean paste noodle shop less than 2 kilometers from the prosecutor's office. It's pretty good. Would you like to try it?"

"Let's go there."

"Okay, Inspector Li."

The two went downstairs, and Zheng Zhishu, fulfilling his duties as a pragmatic official, personally drove Li Chenghuan through a maze of turns to a small alley in a working-class area.

"This is it, Inspector Li. I tried it once before, and the grilled meat and braised pork rib soup here were quite delicious!"

Zheng Zhishu pointed to an unassuming barbecue restaurant not far away and said with a smile.

"Oh? Then I'm in for a treat today."

Lee Seung-hwan agreed and then followed Jung Ji-soo into the shop.

This shop may be small, but it has everything you need.

It looks a lot like a barbecue restaurant in China.

The grill was piled high with meat, sizzling and releasing an enticing aroma as it roasted over charcoal.

The owners, a husband and wife, were extremely busy.

Although the small shop only has five or six tables, it was packed with people.

The two found an empty table and sat down. Zheng Zhishu didn't even look at the menu and went straight to the owner to say:

"Boss! Please give us two large portions of grilled meat, two servings of seafood miso soup, and rice!"

bake!

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll make it for you right away."

The boss gave a shout, but his hands never stopped working, constantly turning the pork belly in his hands.

The whole shop was filled with the irresistible aroma of meat.

Soon, two large portions of grilled meat and soybean paste soup were served. The tempting colors of the grilled meat skewers and the delicious soybean paste soup made one's mouth water.

Lee Seung-hwan picked up a piece of grilled meat with silver chopsticks. It was smeared with Korean chili sauce. He took a bite, and the meat sizzled with oil. It was fatty but not greasy, and full of meaty aroma. It tasted pretty good.

The two ate and chatted.

When we were almost finished eating.

boom!

A loud noise suddenly came from across the street.

A ragged and disheveled young man fell from the building, seemingly jumping directly from the top. The impact dented the roof of a black sedan.

Ignoring the pain, he hurriedly climbed down from the roof of the car and limped towards the alley where Li Chenghuan and the others were.

"You little bastard, don't run away!"

"Stop!"

"He killed someone and then tried to run away; that bastard is too arrogant!"

"If you run again, we won't be polite!"

A group of policemen emerged from the end of the alley, shouting as they chased after him.
