Let's rewind to evening.

Seoul District Prosecutors' Office, Criminal Division 3, Chief Prosecutor's Office.

"Okay, I understand. Proceed according to plan."

After giving some instructions to Ahn Sang-gu on the other end of the phone, Lee Seung-hwan hung up.

He said he wanted to give Li Jiangxi a surprise.

Of course, this is not just empty talk.

Having spent so many years in Southeast Asia in his previous life, he learned one thing: if you can't reach an agreement on something at the table, then don't even bother talking about it.

I'll just flip the table! [Referencing Brother Crow]

Li Jiangxi is not only cunning and scheming, but also despicable and shameless, and ruthless and vicious.

Lee Seung-hwan didn't think he could swallow his anger in the face of Lee Seung-hwan's blatant mockery. He was a figure that a member of parliament and a chaebol chairman relied on, so why would he bow down to a lowly prosecutor like Lee Seung-hwan?

On the surface, everything seems calm, but behind the scenes, Li Jiangxi is probably plotting some kind of revenge. It could be something like kidnapping his family or women, or even resorting to desperate measures like hiring someone to kill him.

Lee Seung-hwan directly predicted his prediction.

Are you trying to mess with me?

I'll fucking kill you first!

The Yanbian F4 and Ahn Sang-gu were a surprise gift he gave to Lee Kang-hee, especially Ahn Sang-gu.

He had been Li Jiangxi's lackey for so many years, so it's safe to say that no one knew better than him just how ruthless this former boss really was.

He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

He just wants to take back what rightfully belongs to him!

After receiving Lee Seung-hwan's promise, he took charge of the operation. After all, he had once been Lee Kang-hee's confidant and knew not only where Lee lived but also the layout of his home.

It can be easily infiltrated with a group of people.

Lee Seung-hwan just needs to wait for his good news.

After all, probably no one hates Lee Kang-hee more than Ahn Sang-gu.

He had to avenge the loss of his arm!

…………

It was almost time to get off work.

Lee Seung-hwan casually tidied his desk, got up, and left the office. Jung Ji-soo, who had been waiting outside, immediately stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said, "Prosecutor Lee, shall we go home first, or go with Prosecutor Seo..."

Lee Seung-hwan waved his hand: "Min-young is currently on a business trip out of town, investigating another financial crime case. Go straight home."

"Yes." Zheng Zhishu nodded and immediately jogged to the parking lot to get his car.

Li Chenghuan, carrying his briefcase, walked leisurely out of the prosecutor's office. Just then, the sun was setting, and a ray of dim sunlight shone on his tall and upright figure.

His profile was half-hidden in the sunlight, giving him a mysterious air, as if half of him was in the light and half was hidden in the darkness.

Little did they know that this scene had also been witnessed by another person.

"Li Chenghuan xi~~" [xi, referring to Mr. or Ms.]

A mature and alluring voice rang out from not far away.

Lee Seung-hwan looked in the direction of the sound, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

A woman wearing a Chanel-style blazer, black trousers, and black high heels, with her hair up, looked extremely capable, dignified, and charming, leaning against a red supercar.

She smiled radiantly and waved to Lee Seung-hwan.

It was none other than the sister-in-law of Chen Daojun, the protagonist of "The Youngest Son of a Chaebol Family," whom she had met briefly that morning. She was also the heiress of Hyunsung Newspaper Group, Seoul's largest private newspaper conglomerate, Moo Hyun-min!

What are you doing here, Miss Mou?

Lee Seung-hwan walked towards her, asking with some curiosity.

However, Mu Xianmin pointed to his passenger seat and said very naturally, "Didn't Li Chenghuan say this morning that he wanted to go on a date with me after get off work? I'm here to pick you up."

Lee Seung-hwan: "..."

He was just joking, how could you take it seriously?

Moreover.

You, Mu Xianmin, are supposed to be aloof and cunning. After your marriage proposal to Chen Daojun fell through, you turned around and married his older brother, Chen Xingjun. Why would you suddenly approach him?

Lee Seung-hwan instinctively felt that there must be some conspiracy involved.

Seeing that Lee Seung-hwan remained silent, Mu Hyun-min raised his handsome eyebrows slightly, looking at him with a provocative and suspicious expression: "Lee Seung-hwan-ssi, are you scared?"

"What, worried I'll eat you?"

No, that's not it. I'm just worried you won't be able to finish it.

A few lewd thoughts flashed through Li Chenghuan's mind, but on the surface he maintained a righteous expression: "I'm sorry, Miss Mu, about what happened this morning, I was just joking. Actually, I already have a girlfriend, she is..."

To his surprise, Mu Xianmin wouldn't listen to his explanation at all.

Instead, he got into the driver's seat and pointed to the passenger seat next to him: "If you're a man, get in the car."

Seeing that she had already said that.

To prove he was a man, Lee Seung-hwan had no choice but to sit in the passenger seat. Just then, Jung Ji-soo drove up and saw his prosecutor get into the car of the female reporter from Hyunseong Daily, whom he had met briefly that morning. A look of surprise crossed his face: "Prosecutor Lee, what are you doing..."

"Zheng Zhishu, Miss Mou and I have some things to discuss. You should go back first," Li Chenghuan said to him.

"Okay, call me if you need anything." Zheng Zhishu, with his keen sense of timing, stepped on the gas and drove off.

At this point, only Li Chenghuan and Mu Xianmin remained in the car.

"Fasten your seatbelt, I'm about to step on the gas," Mu Xianmin reminded him.

As soon as Lee Seung-hwan fastened his seatbelt, the high-performance supercar roared angrily, launched itself into the air, and sped from zero to 100 km/h in the blink of an eye, creating a gust of wind as it quickly carried the two of them away from the prosecutor's office.

We arrived at the street outside.

Mu Xianmin sped along at breakneck speed.

Various extreme overtaking maneuvers.

Li Chenghuan's heart was in his throat. Looking at Mu Xianmin, who was focused on driving, which was a stark contrast to her usual behavior, he never expected that this woman would be so wild. This was during the evening rush hour, when traffic was extremely congested!

Ashley!

I should never have gotten into her car.

Fortunately, after speeding for more than ten minutes, Mu Xianmin quickly slowed down. It wasn't that she didn't want to speed anymore, but that they had arrived at their destination.

The supercar slowly pulled up in front of a well-known Western restaurant in Gangnam District.

"We've arrived. Prosecutor Li, I hope I didn't scare you. If you did, I'm very sorry."

Mu Xianmin stopped the car and turned off the engine. She gave Li Chenghuan a coquettish laugh, seemingly mocking his pale and slightly disheveled appearance, which was caused by his gripping the roof rails tightly the whole way due to excessive speed.

Li Chenghuan glared at her: "Hey! You crazy woman, I haven't lived enough yet. If I, as a prosecutor, die in a high-speed car tonight, I'll probably be laughed at by the whole country tomorrow."

There was one more thing he didn't say.

If this woman can't give a coherent explanation later...

He just killed her!

Little did he know that after hearing his words, Mu Xianmin burst into uncontrollable laughter.

It seems that no one expected that Chief Li, who was so assertive and upright in the press conference room that morning, would have such a "timid" side.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, Lee Seung-hwan-ssi~~ Don't be angry. To express my apology, I'll treat you to Western food. Let's go~~"

She winked at Lee Seung-hwan, displaying a playful side completely different from her aloof and mature demeanor.

Lee Seung-hwan wouldn't hold a grudge against her over such a small incident; he simply nodded slightly.

Since we're already here, let's eat before we leave.

The two entered the upscale Western restaurant side by side.

Because it's a members-only restaurant, it's generally not open to the general public, as a meal there can easily cost several million Korean won.

Mu Xianmin had booked a semi-open private room in advance.

Soon, a waitress led the two to a seat. Mu Xianmin picked up the menu with practiced ease and ordered two steaks and some desserts. She then asked Li Chenghuan what he wanted to eat.

Li Chenghuan waved his hand: "Miss Mu, you can decide for me. I'm fine with anything."

Mu Xianmin nodded, then turned to the waitress and said, "That's all for now."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The waitress bowed slightly and left with the menu.

Because of the high temperature in the restaurant, Lee Seung-hwan took off his coat and casually put it aside, leaving only a white shirt and tie, through which his muscular physique could be vaguely seen.

Lee Seung-hwan has the kind of physique that looks slim when dressed but muscular when undressed.

In addition, his handsome face and the sharp yet dignified air between his brows made Mu Xianmin take another look at him.

Noticing that Lee Seung-hwan's gaze met hers, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she quickly turned her head away, looking rather cute, like a child caught stealing food by an adult.

“Ahem… Miss Mu, could you tell me why you approached me?” Li Chenghuan spoke first, breaking the awkward atmosphere between the two.

Upon hearing this, the blush on Mu Xianmin's face faded somewhat.

She looked at Lee Seung-hwan with a strange gaze, her red lips slightly parted: "After the press conference this morning, I used my own information channels to investigate Chief Lee's past, and the information I obtained was quite interesting."

"It seems there's one thing that Chief Editor Li of the Motherland Daily didn't fabricate: Chief Editor Li really did receive funding from the underworld. Your and your brother Li Chengxian's tuition fees came from a charity fund account, and this account seems to have some connection with the Kinmen Group..."

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible glint flashed in Li Chenghuan's eyes.

He never expected that Mu Xianmin would secretly investigate him.

And she actually found out something.

They even found the account where Seok Dong-chul transferred money to these children back then. It's no wonder she's the daughter of South Korea's largest newspaper group. When it comes to having access to information, the media organization is the best.

However, this minor hazard was nothing to him.

It's just that he had some connections with the gang, which doesn't prove anything. He killed Seok Dong-chul, so he lost even his only weakness.

Even if he has ties to the underworld, as long as he becomes a prosecutor, that will be wiped clean.

There are South Koreans who have served time in prison and then become president.

Moreover, Lee Seung-hwan's background was already quite clean.

The reason he eliminated Shi Dongchu and his secretary was because they knew too much and forced the original owner to cover up and suppress many of their illegal activities. If they were not eliminated, they might explode one day.

Therefore, when faced with this hidden past recounted by Mu Xianmin, Li Chenghuan didn't even blink, but simply said, "Miss Mu brought me here just to tell me this?"
