[158] Double-edged sword 1
“Trade…….”
“Money and power. Isn’t commerce exchanging these two frequent? It is nothing new.”
Chief Prosecutor Bae Jae-hwan stared at me for a while and smiled.
“That was the case with this prosecutor. It’s quite different from the usual gold spoon. I can see why you said that.”
“How are they different?”
“You have a gift for making bold statements sound casual and, moreover, quite plausible.”
“The person giving it can be shameless. It’s obvious that people who want to eat the grains of rice stuck on my golden spoon will continue to appear in the future. Don’t you think so?”
There are many retailers willing to sell their power. Aren’t there as many as 2,000 people?
“This… He has a great talent for embarrassing people. All right. I will make a proper product and sell it.”
He is a good listener.
Faith trust loyalty…. He is a person who knows that a transaction that is satisfied with each other rather than this is the driving force to maintain a relationship for a much longer period of time.
“I am in a hurry. Please bring something good within a month. I will give you a good price.”
“I think Prosecutor Lee Kang-shik is more urgent. Someone in a hurry will dig the fountain.”
“Ah, since this is the first transaction, I will pay in advance. Tell them that Cheongju will make it something that never happened. I also added that I will work harder and expect good results.”
Manager Bae smiled happily and bowed his head.
“Thank you on behalf of this test.”
“I have to say hello.”
“yes?”
“One out of five or six people you mentioned could end up in a situation where they might have to take off their clothes. Is there someone suitable?”
“Are you taking off your clothes?”
Director Bae was surprised and asked back.
“I was thinking of what if. It can be a person who is more urgent with money than the inspection. The one who will carry the gun. Instead, I will hire you as a lawyer from our Miracle legal team.”
To the one who couldn’t answer easily, she brushed away a handful of worries.
“In the worst case, it is okay to be disqualified as a lawyer. Since you’ve studied law anyway, where will the source technology go? Companies need legal knowledge, not licenses.”
“You’re thinking of doing something big.”
“Like I said, it’s just in case.”
“I’ll check. If you have a friend who is thinking of starting a lawyer, you will be very welcome.”
If you can earn money in one year that you can earn by working as a lawyer for 10 years, there is no reason to refuse.
“Then I will wait. Since this is our first transaction, let’s get our hands and feet right.”
Manager Bae grabbed my hand with all his might.

“The prosecution was right to stab. The real thing is the Financial Supervisory Service.”
“Did you figure out what they were doing there?”
“They say that our company, as well as your personal transactions, are being followed. I started tracing back the funds that came in when I founded Korea Miracle.”
Oh Se-hyeon speaks as if tossing it, but a hint of anxiety was revealed in the tone.
“Is there anything to take issue with?”
“The amount of money we have moved so far is in trillions. Even if you scrape together crumbs, how many tens of billions will come out? We call it tax-saving, but in their eyes, it’s tax evasion. It is a matter of legal interpretation. If the circumstances come out, the IRS will come in.”
“I’m a little nervous.”
“In the worst case, you can pay taxes and pay fines. It’s okay because you have that much money. Hehe.”
“Don’t you know this isn’t about money?”
Seeing my hardened expression, Oh Se-hyun smiled.
“How far do you plan to go?”
“If you draw a knife, you have to stab it once. I have no intention of cutting a radish and putting it in a sheath.”
It’s a more serious expression. Having no intention of reconciliation means that Sunyang Group and Miracle are fighting.
Will it be able to stab a cruiser like Cheolongseong? On the contrary, could this side be hurt?
It is the expression of such concern.
“Didn’t your uncle say that you can pay a fine in the worst case? If you can stop it with money, it will be eaten cheaply. There is no need to back down.”
After confirming my decision, Oh Se-hyeon took a deep breath and stepped back.
“Is the knife ready?”
“yes. I am Prosecutor Lee Kang-shik in the Financial Investigation Department of the Southern District Prosecutor’s Office. This friend has to go down to Cheongju soon. Can you cancel the personnel order?”
“Is that friend our swordsman?”
“That’s it. We will gather the ronin inside the prosecutor’s office and become our strength.”
“There is no problem with that. The Southern District Prosecutor’s Office isn’t even an important position.”
“That’s it. Let’s wait a little bit to see how sharp our swords are.”
And before a month passed, our swordsman came with a useful weapon.
* * *
“Internal transactions and work flow were not even newsworthy, so we did not put in manpower. Instead, I intensively tracked overseas companies… and this came out.”
Oh Se-hyeon snatched the data presented by Prosecutor Lee Kang-shik. Oh Se-hyun, who carefully watched without missing a single number, even blew a low whistle. I mean, it’s true evidence.
“This is the Southern District Prosecutor’s Office Financial Investigation Department. Finding this!”
“Everyone is stealing slush funds, and the repercussions are huge. It was hard to burst anyway, so… I only dug in and got it right.”
“It would have been difficult without the help of the United States?”
“I was fortunate enough to participate in the Ministry of Justice training program. It’s like a benefit given to Seoul National University graduates, but to match the assortment, even people without genealogy like me are included. At that time, there were 3 generations of Koreans I was close with. That friend helped.”
“What is it? that is?”
When I pointed to the documents and asked, Oh Se-hyeon smiled brightly.
“The stealing of dollars. It’s money withdrawn from an account linked to the United States.”
“How much?”
Lee Kang-sik said with a confident expression.
“Over 20 billion. The problem with this is that there is no data on where the money that was withdrawn from the United States was spent. This is usually a gamble.”
“gambling?”
“yes. Only the owner’s family can do this… Does Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki enjoy gambling?”
Lee Kang-shik’s eyes twinkled, as if he was trying to get a new clue from me.
It’s a gamble…
I know who it is. Isn’t gambling more difficult to quit than drugs? My aunt is the person who has endlessly made accidents through gambling all her life.
Hyeyoung Park.
She was born into a chaebol family that had no shortage, and married into an even bigger chaebol family.
A woman who makes anything her own with uncontrollable money and spews endless desire to show off.
In a way, he is an enviable human being who lives by venting his desires to the fullest.
Man gambling and shopping. These are things that cannot be removed from her life.
“Compare the time of withdrawal from overseas accounts and the time of departure of my aunt.”
“Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki’s wife?”
“That’s right.”
The two opened their mouths wide.
The fact that the eldest daughter-in-law of a chaebol family indulged in gambling on a large scale expedition is a matter of moral condemnation before questioning whether it is illegal or not.
“Let’s mimic politics as well. It is leaked to the media first, and when public opinion becomes loud, the prosecution announces it. Then the press dictates again.”
“Is there any media that will accept it? If you hate Sunyang, all the ads will run out?”
An outside observer knows more accurately the magnitude of power than an insider. Prosecutor Lee has experienced several cases where the media ignored the prosecution’s request. This was especially true for cases involving chaebols.
“That’s all we have to fill. We also have a construction car department store and a mart. Enough.”
But he still shook his head. Because it predicts obvious outcomes.
“That would be the end of it. Just know that it is difficult to summon a reference person. Perhaps it will be concluded with a written inquiry and acquitted.”
“it’s okay. Even if my aunt was really innocent, no one would believe it. It becomes the truth just by mentioning that the hostess of a wealthy chaebol family gambled away.”
The purpose is to hurt. You will find that I also have a knife in my hand.
“Before that, your uncle should meet your uncle. Insinuate that if you fold it at this point, there will be no blushing for each other.”
“What if it folds? If the FSS stops investigating, will we stop too?”
“no. We keep going straight. It’s the first time, so I have to show that it’s scary. Otherwise, this will happen again.”
I didn’t expect to clap my hands and agree, but Oh Se-hyun’s hard face exceeded my expectations.
“Is there even a need for that? They said they would lower their swords aimed at us… If we lower our swords too, the prosecutor here can avoid an embarrassing situation.”
that’s what i say because i don’t know
never pick up the knife I’m not one to stop until I get something. It’s just the difference between whether or not you explode what you’re holding in your hand.
“Don’t trust the people in my family. My uncle only knows my father, so he looks at me softly. All are ‘iron-faced’. It’s not just my grandfather.”
And we have to tell them clearly what our real weapons are.
Showing off our strength may not be the only reason my uncle puts pressure on us. It is also an attempt to take away our real weapon.
* * *
“Thank you for your hard time. Vice President.”
“no. He is a teacher who teaches with our cute youngest nephew, and he is always welcome.”
“Then let’s end it by just looking at you cutely.”
“what do you mean?”
“I’m telling you not to make me spark because Do-joon is being vigilant.”
“Oh that? haha. This is really… you misunderstood.”
“What a disappointment. Are you sure you’re running away?”
“What is absurdity… no. I have no feelings for CEO Oh. It’s not that I’m wary of Do-jun.”
“Then what? What if it is neither this nor that?”
“Sunyang Motors took mine and I’m just trying to get it back.”
To Oh Se-hyeon, Jin Young-ki is a person that is difficult to understand.
It completely ignores the first principle of negotiation: to hide what you want.
“automobile? Are you talking about group stocks owned by Sunyang Motors?”
Seeing Jin Young-ki smiling and nodding his head, Jin Do-jun’s words came to mind.
―Wield our true sword.
Oh Se-hyun waited for the moment to swing the sword.
“Why is that the vice president? It was a legitimate purchase from Chairman Jin.”
“It changed owners for a while. No, it would be more accurate to say that it was left to the chaos. Why… didn’t you call the IMF a tribulation? Foreign exchange frenzy.”
Jin Do-jun’s words came to mind. These people are ‘brain-blooded’. How can you say such nonsensical words so easily?
“The storage fee will be paid well, so pass it on. If you have a chance, you can pay for the city generation. It will not be a losing business.”
“What if I refuse?”
“CEO Oh is slow for someone who touches money. Even if you hold onto it, you can’t do anything about the Sunyang Group. Rather than holding on to those stocks that only cause headaches, exchange them for what you need.”
“Can I take the fact that it hurts my head to mean that I will move the public power like now?”
“The Southern District Prosecutor’s Office is a nobleman. Wouldn’t the worse ones come at you?”
“It’s more terrible… It must be an alliance between the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office and the National Tax Service.”
“one more. Saturation of the media.”
Looking at Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki, who was elated, Oh Se-hyeon slowly opened his mouth with an expressionless face.
“oh my. be scared.”
