If I make you a prosecutor, are you going to be the president of South Korea?
Chapter 89: Everyone around me is an undercover agent!
"Li Zicheng, I plan to appoint you as the new chairman of the Jinmen Group. Are you interested?"
Upon hearing this, Li Zicheng's expression changed, and he felt extremely uneasy.
He seemed surprised that Lee Seung-hwan would say such a thing to him, and he replied awkwardly, "Prosecutor Lee, please don't joke. The chairman of the Kinmen Group is elected by the group's elders."
"I'm just a board member of the group. Above me are Executive Director Ding Qing, Standing Director Li Zhongjiu, and Vice Chairman Zhang Shouji. They are the future chairmen of the Kinmen Group. I..."
Lee Seung-hwan waved his hand and said, "These are not problems. You just need to promise me whether you want to become the chairman of the Kinmen Group?"
Li Zicheng remained silent.
Then he shook his head.
Of course he didn't want to.
He had long harbored the idea of leaving.
After so many years of undercover work, he was truly exhausted, both mentally and physically, and lived in constant fear.
Moreover, his wife was about to give birth, which gave him a weakness.
Once a man has a weakness, he becomes weak and indecisive.
He is currently indecisive.
On one side is Ding Qing, his good brother who has fought alongside him for so many years and weathered countless storms.
On one hand, there's his identity as a police officer, which he once swore an oath to and regarded as his faith, although he has long since lost any sense of identification with that identity.
He doesn't want to do anything right now.
All I want is to get away from all this with my wife and unborn child.
Lee Seung-hwan was well aware of Lee Ja-sung's current thoughts.
But in order to win over this capable underling.
We must wake him up and make him stop hoping for the best.
Lee Seung-hwan's true goal from beginning to end has always been to completely control the Kinmen Group, and Lee Ja-sung will be his representative. Making him the chairman is far more suitable than Jung Chung.
Chief Prosecutor Li's Practitioner Working Group: Yao Lingyao, Ba Ba Ling, Qi San San Yao
So he took out the file about Li Zicheng's police identity and pushed it in front of him: "Take a look for yourself."
Li Zicheng took the file and the first glance made him break out in a cold sweat. It was actually his own police file!
How did Lee Seung-hwan obtain it?
In other words, he already knew his true identity?
Lee Ja-sung was truly sweating profusely at that moment. If the other party hadn't been a prosecutor, he would have already been preparing to run away.
As he looked at the document, he wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and asked Li Chenghuan, "Do you know Section Chief Jiang? Or... are you the actual mastermind behind that plan?"
Lee Seung-hwan spread his hands: "Does this matter?"
Do you know why I brought out your undercover file?
At this point, Li Chenghuan smiled meaningfully and said, "You may not know, but Ding Qing has already discovered that there is a mole within the group's Jinmen branch. He has found a top hacker from China to break into the Jiangbei Police Station's database and investigate the information of those undercover agents planted by the police."
As soon as these words came out.
Li Zicheng's expression changed drastically.
He never imagined such a thing could be done.
According to Li Chenghuan, does Ding Qing already know that he is an undercover police officer?
For a moment, Li Zicheng was in a state of utter confusion.
The future seems bleak.
He finally understood that Lee Seung-hwan's approach to him and his offer to make him the chairman of the Kinmen Group was not without reason.
Like Section Chief Jiang, he also hoped to take control of the Kinmen Group.
But he really didn't want to be a gangster anymore! He wanted to do good deeds for his wife and children, and didn't want them to be involved in gang feuds and get hurt because of him in the future.
“Prosecutor Li, I’m truly sorry, but I’m afraid I can’t help you… Please find someone else. All I want now is to retire and be with my wife and unborn child. These past years as an undercover agent have been filled with fear, living in constant dread of being exposed. I’m exhausted.” Li Zicheng bowed to him pleadingly. “Please, you and Section Chief Jiang, let me go.”
Lee Seung-hwan shattered his illusions without hesitation, saying, "Lee Ja-sung, as the executioner within the Kinmen Group who specializes in purging traitors, how can your current thinking be so naive and weak?"
"Once you join the underworld, you're in the underworld for life. Do you think you can just quit whenever you want?"
"What do you plan to do after you quit?"
"What can you do after leaving the Kinmen Group? Continue being a policeman? How long have you been a policeman? How long have you been a gangster? How many people have you killed over the years? How many dirty jobs have you been forced to do?"
"Can you ever turn back?"
"Do you think your colleagues will accept you if you go back to the police force? You're not on the same page anymore. They'll only look down on you, be wary of you, and be suspicious of you!"
"Moreover, you've been a director of the group for so long, always surrounded by followers and with countless underlings. You're used to being the boss. But after returning to the police station, your status has plummeted. You've become a lowly police officer. Even if you can get promoted and receive a raise based on your merits, you'll still just be a minor leader. Can you accept this huge difference in status and position?"
"Don't tell me you want to retire from the underworld, that you don't want to be a policeman or a gangster anymore. If you really have no identity, then you only have one way out: death!"
"You know so many secrets, the rest of the Kinmen Group won't let you off the hook, the police leadership doesn't trust you, your former gang rivals won't let you go, and your wife and children will die because of you!"
Even if you run away, even if you escape to a foreign country, will it make a difference?
"You have no choice but to go down this path to the bitter end!"
Lee Seung-hwan's soul-searching questions thoroughly and completely dissected Lee Ja-sung's inner contradictions and complexities.
Lee Ja-sung couldn't help but look at the unfathomable prosecutor in front of him with a shocked expression.
This man is terrifying.
They knew exactly what he was thinking.
He ruthlessly exposed all his concerns and true thoughts.
I taught him a lesson he learned the hard way.
Li Zicheng was unusually clear-headed.
He then realized just how naive his previous thoughts had been!
Indeed, once a member of the underworld, always a member of the underworld.
This is his destiny; he can't escape it.
It's not that he couldn't see clearly; it's just that his wife and children transformed him from a cold-blooded executioner into a husband with flesh and blood.
Once a man has a weakness, he becomes weak.
His wife and children slowed down his speed in drawing his sword.
But Lee Seung-hwan decided to deliver the final blow and deliberately lied:
"If I'm not mistaken, Ding Qing already knows you're an undercover agent, so how do you plan to deal with him?"
"If your former best friend wanted to kill you, would you apologize to him and say sorry for being a police officer, or would you choose to stand by his side and say goodbye to your identity as a police officer for good?"
Lee Ja-sung was stumped by Lee Seung-hwan's question.
He realized that no matter which option he chose, it wasn't the answer he wanted.
On one side is justice, on the other is brotherhood.
You'll regret it no matter what you choose.
He grabbed his hair haphazardly, his face filled with dejection and pain. He didn't know, and dared not think about it.
Xin Yu, who was standing to the side, fell silent as she listened to their conversation. Over the years, every time she met with Li Zicheng to relay Section Chief Jiang's instructions, she had come to know Li Zicheng to some extent.
But she never imagined that Li Zicheng would be in so much pain and conflict.
No wonder he's been acting strangely lately.
The two parted on bad terms after their last meeting, and Li Zicheng went directly to Section Chief Jiang to confront him.
But if you were to trust Yu-xuan, she would choose to return to justice and regain her police identity. She has a strong sense of justice and is willing to sacrifice herself without hesitation.
This is why Lee Seung-hwan recruited her; he didn't need to worry that she would betray him.
The prerequisite is to make her completely devoted to you.
Lee Seung-hwan planned to reason with her and win her over later.
Now, he needs to give Lee Ja-sung a boost to make him determined to completely turn to the dark side.
This would give him more control over the future chairman of the Kinmen Group.
He said, "You know, your loyal henchman Shi Wu is also an undercover police officer. He's under Section Chief Jiang's special agent, responsible for monitoring you."
Upon hearing this, Li Zicheng's expression changed drastically!
He had once suspected that he might be the only mole in the Kinmen Group, but who knew that his most trusted subordinate, Shi Wu, was also one!
Section Chief Jiang never told him this, and Shi Wu never showed any abnormality in front of him.
This means that Shi Wu has witnessed all the dirty work Li Zicheng has done over the years. If he really returns to his police identity, will the high-ranking police leaders really not investigate?
That wasn't the end of it; Li Chenghuan's next words dealt him another heavy blow.
"Actually, your wife is also an undercover agent arranged by Section Chief Jiang."
"Her father used to be a gambling addict. He had accumulated a huge debt from gambling and not only had to deal with the gangsters who came to collect the debts, but he also had to go to jail. Section Chief Jiang used this to blackmail her, making her get close to you and gain your favor. If she could become your woman, she could save her father from jail."
"She did it, but she didn't tell you any of it."
"The reason why Section Chief Jiang knew the gender of your child, and even the due date, was because your wife told him herself."
After hearing this, Li Zicheng trembled all over and felt a chill run down his spine!
It's one thing if Xin Yu is an undercover agent.
Now even Shi Wu is an undercover agent, and his wife is an undercover agent too!
Are there any normal people around him?
Over the years, he has worked diligently and conscientiously, doing countless things for Jiang Zemin, such as betraying the Kinmen Group and his brother Ding Qing.
It turned out that everyone was lying to him, and he had been living under someone else's surveillance all along!
Kang Jaemin never trusted him at all!
"Damn it! That damn bastard!"
Lee Ja-sung clenched his fists tightly.
