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

"Are you Wen Dong'en?" [Note 1]

When Li Chenghuan heard the name, he was slightly taken aback. The girl had been keeping her head down, looking timid and self-conscious. Her hair was disheveled and covered most of her face.

So much so that Lee Seung-hwan didn't get a clear look at her.

He subconsciously reached out to help her tuck a few strands of slightly yellowish hair from her forehead, exposing her entire face.

It really was her! [Note 2]

He never expected that after being bullied and dropping out of school at the age of 19, he would work part-time while studying on his own, pass the university entrance exam, and obtain a teacher's qualification certificate.

It took Moon Dong-eun a full eighteen years to finally take revenge on those who had bullied her.

He was surprised to be approached at this time.

Could it be that his appearance changed the original plot?

After recognizing Moon Dong-eun, Lee Seung-hwan understood her purpose perfectly. So he said to her in a calm tone, "Moon Dong-eun, you're still a student, right? You've come to me for help because you've been bullied at school, haven't you?"

Wen Dongen had no idea that the prosecutor standing in front of her was an extraordinary individual who knew her life trajectory intimately.

So after hearing Li Chenghuan's words, she nodded vigorously, her small face full of tears and pain.

“There are some bad people in the school who enjoy bullying other students, especially me. They often punish me with all sorts of reasons and excuses.”

“My arms were burned like this by them using hair curlers… I tried to fight back, but all I got in return was more unrestrained bullying and torture.”

“I also went to the teachers and the police, but they all shirked their responsibilities. The teachers said it was all my fault, and why did they have to bully me instead of others?”

“The police said I was making a fuss, chatting enthusiastically and even in a flattering manner with the parents of the bullies right in front of me.”

"Nobody cares about my feelings, not even my mother, she doesn't care about me..."

“Prosecutor Li, what should I do…”

Wen Dongen's small face was full of pain and confusion.

The pain and torment she suffered were unbearable for someone her age. She should have been in the prime of her life, but instead she encountered a group of utterly wicked people. She tried to fight back, but each time she was pushed into the abyss.

She had thought about taking her own life countless times.

She desperately wanted to escape that school, but even the teachers bullied her, beat and scolded her, and belittled her in front of all the teachers, trampling on her last remaining dignity.

Even the gambling mother, who was her only family, betrayed her own daughter like a devil for the little money the bullying parents gave her.

She was bullied to the point of dropping out of school, but in the end, she was registered as having voluntarily dropped out.

This world is too dark.

The prosecutor she saw on television before taking her own life was the only ray of light she longed for. Despite being covered in wounds, she still held onto a last glimmer of hope.

There must be good people in this world, right?

After hearing her story, Lee Seung-hwan was far more shocked than he had seen on television.

He didn't know how Wen Dongen had managed all these years.

If you really put yourself in her shoes, what she went through is truly appalling.

If Lee Seung-hwan hadn't appeared, her life trajectory would have been one of experiencing countless moments of despair before she came to the banks of the Han River, intending to take her own life. But the moment she stepped into the icy, bone-chilling river, she suddenly realized her mistake and resolved to seek revenge.

But now, she has found someone to turn to for help.

Lee Seung-hwan, of course, would not remain indifferent.

He pondered for a moment, then half-squatted in front of Wen Dongen. Even when he squatted, his tall figure was still level with Wen Dongen's slender body.

Sunlight streamed through the office window, and even though Lee Seung-hwan was backlit, his cool and handsome face was still bathed in its glow, giving off a strong sense of security and trust.

"How would you like me to help you?"

He said, “I am a prosecutor in charge of criminal cases. Your situation should actually be handled by prosecutors in the juvenile division. Moreover, in South Korea, such cases of school bullying are commonplace, and inaction by schools and the police is also commonplace.”

"But I feel that the world shouldn't be like this."

"Bullys must be punished!"

Upon hearing Li Chenghuan's words, a light burst forth in Wen Dongen's previously lifeless eyes, and her tear-streaked face shone with immense joy and hope.

"Are you really willing to help me?"

Lee Seung-hwan smiled and nodded: "Of course, but I can't use my position as a prosecutor to help, because that's outside my authority. I hope you can understand."

Wen Dongen waved his hand excitedly: "I am already very grateful that you are willing to help me. In fact, before I came to you, I was already prepared to fail, because I might not even be able to get through the door of the prosecutor's office."

"But at the entrance, I met an uncle who claimed to be your administrative officer. After hearing my story, he personally led me into the prosecutor's office and even pointed out your office to me, telling me to come and see you..."

After hearing her explanation, Li Chenghuan suddenly realized what was going on.

He said, "How could a little girl like Wen Dongen possibly find him here?"

So it was that kid Zheng Zhishu who helped.

As expected of his chief of staff, she is just as upright and kind as he is!

Lee Seung-hwan organized his thoughts and told Moon Dong-eun, "I will give you two choices. First, I can use my personal connections to help you take revenge on those who bullied you, to fight violence with violence, including but not limited to making them suffer physical abuse as well. Their fate will definitely be worse than yours."

"Secondly, starting today, I will become your sponsor and creditor. I will provide you with a considerable sum of money so that you can go back to school and get your hands treated. You need to study hard, get the best grades, and be admitted to Seoul National University, where you can choose to study law."

"I'm giving you four years. After four years, you need to pass the bar exam and an interview, and then choose to become an intern prosecutor, a lawyer, or a judge."

"At that time, you can use the knowledge you've gained and the weapon of law to take revenge on them. Which path will you choose?"

Li Chenghuan's words made Wen Dongen fall into deep thought.

She never expected that this prosecutor would help her in this way. If she had chosen the first option, she would have been able to get her revenge immediately. She was absolutely certain that with the prosecutor's connections, he could definitely do it.

After all, even if that bastard Park Yeon-jin has connections, she only knows a police chief.

Li Shala's father is a priest, and although he has considerable social influence, he is still no match for the prosecutors.

Jeon Jae-joon comes from a wealthy family and is the one with the highest social status and the richest among the bullies. However, he is also the only one among the bullies who did not directly assault Moon Dong-eun.

But in reality, he was the catalyst and the culprit behind everything.

Because he said to Park Yeon-jin that Moon Dong-eun's breasts were bigger than hers, Park Yeon-jin became so jealous that she was on the verge of a physical breakdown. Her jealousy turned into anger, and she began to endlessly torment and hurt Moon Dong-eun.

As for Cui Huiting and Sun Mingwu, they are merely the lackeys of the first three, playing the role of accomplices, and are not worth worrying about.

To be honest, Moon Dong-eun really wanted to choose the first option.

The flames of revenge burned fiercely within her.

The thought of letting Park Yeon-jin and the others experience the pain and torment she had suffered filled her with excitement.

She kept forcing herself to calm down.

The prosecutor certainly wouldn't want her to choose the first option.

He wanted to save himself.

So they gave her a second path: they sponsored her to continue her studies and pursue a law degree, so she could become someone with the same social status as Park Yeon-jin and the others, and thus use her own strength to take revenge!

She really wanted to cry.

There are people in this world who truly care about her and think about her, and they are strangers!

She experienced kindness for the first time.

Wen Dongen forced back the tears welling up in her eyes, and raised her head. Her pale face, scarred by hardship, held a stubbornness, and her eyes were filled with determination: "Uncle Prosecutor, I choose the second path!"

Hearing her answer.

Lee Seung-hwan smiled. Just as expected.

Moon Dong-eun is Moon Dong-eun after all. She is actually very smart, far better than those idiots like Park Yeon-jin. If she hadn't met that group of people, her original achievements would probably not have been too bad.

As a result, their lives were completely ruined.

So much so that he spent the first half of his life solely on revenge.

Now that he's met Lee Seung-hwan, it's time to change the course of his life.

Lee Seung-hwan planned to train her to become a human rights lawyer or prosecutor. With her abilities, she would be his capable assistant after completing her studies.

He was intentionally cultivating his confidants.

He looked at Dong En with approval in his eyes and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Very good, Dong En. I'm glad that you can temporarily put aside your thoughts of revenge and choose the second path. This proves that I didn't misjudge you."

"Remember, don't let hatred blind you. Instead, learn to use the flames of hatred to temper yourself and become strong enough to make your former enemies tremble!"

There is an old Chinese saying: "A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years."

"And you only need to wait four years."

Wen Dongen nodded emphatically: "Yes!"

Seeing this, Li Chenghuan was even more satisfied with her, so he stood up, clapped his hands, and said with a smile, "Let's go, take me to see your school."

Wen Dongen looked puzzled: "Huh? What's the prosecutor doing at my school?"

Lee Seung-hwan pursed his lips: "Of course, I'll take you to collect some interest first."

Wen Dongen hesitated for a moment: "Didn't you say that a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years? I've made up my mind. I'm going to study law hard and become a prosecutor like you. I also want to help those children who have suffered from bullying!"

Seeing this, Li Chenghuan smiled and said, "A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years, but I usually take revenge on the spot."

"Let's go, take me to see those people."

“Especially that Park Yeon-jin.”

[Note 1: The character Moon Dong-eun is based on the female lead in the South Korean revenge drama "Dark Glory," played by Song Hye-kyo. The story revolves around Moon Dong-eun's experiences as a student, during which she suffered various inhumane tortures at the hands of a five-person bullying group led by the villain Park Yeon-jin. They even burned her entire body with a curling iron. Park Yeon-jin, seeking revenge, spent 18 years plotting and using every means at her disposal to exact her revenge on the bullies. This drama is truly exhilarating; readers who haven't seen it should definitely give it a try.]

[Note 2: The actress who played Moon Dong-eun during her student days in the drama was different, and her looks were average. Therefore, the author used Song Hye-kyo's appearance in this section. Please search for photos of Song Hye-kyo's stunning beauty when she was young; the author will also post them here!]
