[249] Home 2
I met Lee Hak-jae several times and had a few drinks. Of course, he is the one who took the price of the rice cake every bit.
“I finally see the face of the boss of the swordsman.”
“Are you a swordsman? It’s a word we use, but it offends civilians.”
“Because I am a civilian… is it because I am no big deal to you now? You took the money I gave you without hesitation?”
“Let’s get the facts straight. Didn’t the manager give you money? was a delivery man I received the cruise money.”
The inspector general said without hesitation that he had received money from chaebols. That means no one looking through the double mirror, no recording, no recording.
go home And Sunyang’s money…
Now I know who hired these swordsmen.
“I forgot that the guy who gave me money can stab a delivery man as much as he wants.”
Lee Hak-jae jumped up at the appearance of the inspector general and said to the head of the planning department, who was still in a stance.
“You stand in line too. The person you think you’re going to tie now couldn’t even lift his head in front of me when I gave him money. Oh, something like this happened once.”
“Stop it.”
The inspector general’s expression distorted, and Lee Hak-jae even burst into laughter.
“Was it a drinking party? Anyway, I dusted the cigarette ash in that friend’s drinking glass. It was a mistake. But suddenly he lifted the glass and drank it at once. There was nothing to dry. Do you know what I say after wiping my mouth? haha.”
“Chief!”
The inspector general screamed to block Lee Hak-jae’s mouth, but to no avail.
“I will be grateful for anything the manager gives me. You’re doing this. hahaha.”
Biting his teeth, the inspector general glared at Lee Hak-jae and relaxed his expression.
“So, if you want to be treated like that again, just go home. What is this like now?”
Lee Hak-jae threw out the words he had endured.
“Is it because of the owner of the house that I am in this situation?”
“Please come back soon.”
“Is that all? I think they misunderstood… I’m retired. I didn’t mean anything else.”
“So you made a promise. Train him to be a dog that listens to his master and send him back. Go back and do as your master tells you. Then, I will take back the drinking glass that the director shook off the cigarette ash.”
Lee Hak-jae glanced at his watch and stood up.
“I have to leave now so I can get home before 12.”
The Inspector General quietly blocked the door.
“I need to get an answer. I also have to pay for the meal…”
Lee Hak-jae said with a smile.
“This is my friend. Illusion too much. you need to know the subject You are just a memo forwarder. Even if I look like a dog that ate a dog, I can drive you to the countryside with a single phone call. Move!”
The director of the Inspection Bureau, who flinched at the sullen remark, quietly withdrew.
When Lee Hak-jae disappeared, the two remaining in the interrogation room sighed.
“Shall we go too? I think I’m done with my work.”
“Will this be enough?”
The head of the Criminal Planning Department said with an anxious expression.
“Share all the data we have obtained with the Seoul High Prosecutor’s Office. Give it to the prosecutor of the Southern District Prosecutor’s Office. It’s what that kid said. We’re the memo bearers, so that’s enough.”
The inspector general tapped the head of the planning department on the back.
“Let’s go too. Would you like a bowl of hangover soup?”
* * *
“Motivation. If I go one step further, I will lose my loyalty to the president. This is my answer.”
Lee Hak-jae, who met the vibrator vice president early in the morning, threw a thick paper bag.
“I haven’t heard from you in a long time. Manager… No, my older brother is calling me by name.”
“Now that I am not the head of the department or anything, I can call you by name. why? Upset?”
“no. It is because it is friendly.”
The smile of the vibrator in full bloom shows that it is not a lie.
“I came to you to meet your brother. At least I think you’re at a level where you can have a conversation.”
“Good job. Isn’t it all about yelling and yelling at my older brother?”
Vibrator opened the envelope Lee Hak-jae threw and checked the contents.
Vibrator, who looked at it for a while, frowned.
“You lost your loyalty to your father a long time ago. Seeing that you have gathered all these things one by one, it looks like you are fully prepared to stab your father in the back at any time, right?”
“I couldn’t do it three times. I mean the kids are big. I didn’t want to show the kids who knew everything about going to court anymore.”
He has been to and from the prosecutor’s office countless times. Not a few of them stood in court and heard acquittals.
However, he was sentenced to prison twice. Although he was not sentenced to prison for probation.
Vibrator, still frowning, shook his head.
“I didn’t trust my father. I’ve never been told to carry a gun three times. It all ended in two.”
“The reason we ended up with two was because there were a lot of mel guys in the arms. But the reason I am carrying my arms is because there is no one to replace me. If there is no substitute, the president is the one who will send you three or four times.”
Vibrator loosened his expression and put the papers back in the envelope.
“Don’t get me wrong. Do you think your father let you go because he was afraid of this data? you’re welcome. I was sorry that I was carrying a gun twice, so I didn’t use it as a cannon fodder anymore. My dad is the one who won’t blink an eye even if he has a truckload of stuff like this.”
“what?”
“Look at me. Do I look frightened?”
Vibrator held out the envelope to Lee Hak-jae again.
“Bring me the police or the prosecution. You can sprinkle it all over the media.”
“If you read the content properly, you wouldn’t be able to say that easily, right?”
“I saw. Illegal donations, tax evasion, insider trading… This is enough to be a nuclear bomb. The media will jump up and down like a fish in water.”
Lee Hak-jae knows why the vibrator has such a margin.
Even if the media makes a lot of noise, it is a month at the most. Sunyang is a place that has the power to calm a noisy world in just one month.
But making it quiet comes at a huge cost. Especially when there is clear evidence of illegality like this data.
At least a few hundred billion won in taxes and fines must be paid, and both vice presidents must hold a public apology event.
Instead, he would be sentenced to life in prison.
However, Lee Hak-jae knows that he is not a second generation who will endure the disgrace of a public apology and spend hundreds of billions of dollars to put himself in prison.
“Then you know the price, right?”
“I know. But this time it will be different.”
“no. Not different. It’s the same pattern, and the results don’t change.”
“I guess you’re wandering around when you’re cornered?”
The vibrator turned on the TV as if to mock Lee Hak-jae’s confidence.
The TV kept broadcasting breaking news.
As of 11:55 on March 12th. 193 out of 271 enrolled voters in favor Passed the motion for impeachment pursuant to Article 65, Paragraph 2 of the Constitution!
Submit the original copy of the impeachment resolution to the Constitutional Court of the National Assembly Prosecution Committee!
“Did you not know it was today?”
“so? Didn’t everyone who might know already guess? It’s nothing new.”
The vibrator tilted its head in surprise.
“How long has it been since you withdrew from this kind of business, have you lost all your senses?”
“what?”
“Don’t you know the meaning of the impeachment of the president? That’s an indulgences.”
“Absolution?”
“It is impeachment that has taken away the eyes and ears of the entire people. For the next two or three months, no one will pay attention to the power struggle between our brothers and the chief. In other words, the impeachment of the president is an indulgence that the prosecution and the media can completely ignore the materials that you will submit.”
Lee Hak-jae didn’t say anything.
It’s over in two months.
Sunyang Group will push advertisements to media outlets as if nothing had happened, and reporters will go on a spree every day for a hefty price for alcohol.
The prosecutors who covered this case will be rewarded with a price and a promotion or resigned and will be transformed into high-paid lawyers for the Sunyang Group.
He will prepare for trial at the detention center with all kinds of charges covered before he knows it.
Seeing Lee Hak-jae’s stiff expression, the corner of the vibrator’s mouth went up.
“You seem to have finally caught on to the fact that the pattern is different this time. Thanks to 193 members of the National Assembly, we will only stand in court without any damage. I’m really fortunate. It wouldn’t be news for the director to appear in court, so even his children wouldn’t be able to see it.”
Lee Hak-jae knew that the scenario told by the vibrator would not be so wrong.
“What you want from me is the establishment of a holding company, right?”
“Is there anything else besides that? Finish perfectly and retire neatly. I will provide enough severance pay.”
Vibrator told Lee Hak-jae, who was silent again, a little more sincere.
“Honestly, I feel very sorry for the former manager. My father must have asked my brother for his opinion on the succession structure, but he never raised my hand, right? Am I not the heir among my brothers?”
This time, the corner of Lee Hak-jae’s mouth went up.
“Have you still not gotten out of that delusion? The evaluation of the successor was the same as the president. You weren’t.”
The vibrator screamed in disbelief.
“Yeonggi hyung is better than me? What the heck is the evaluation criterion? greed? The driving force that recklessly pushes forward?”
“You are still mistaken. Jin Young-gi was born as the eldest son. But the eldest son meant a lot to the president. I just saw the benefit.”
Vibrator’s expression became more distorted.
“Maybe Yoongi…?”
Lee Hak-jae nodded.
“The chairman and I were not wrong. Look at the current glow. Even with the help of Do-Jun and Oh Se-Hyun, they stood tall in the media scene infested with locals. if you Do you have the confidence to conquer a field in 10 years even if you mobilize the battleships and do your best?”
Vibrator couldn’t answer confidently.
“I assure you, Yoongi will dominate the Korean entertainment market. If that guy went to study abroad and didn’t do anything else, if he wasn’t interested in culture and arts, the chairman would have succeeded to Yoongi early on? Instead, you would have inherited a golf course or a foundation.”
“Is that why your father showered Do-jun with so much affection?”
“That too. If Dojunie wasn’t young, he would have threatened you. Have you already threatened? I mean, I took 10% of it.”
“I also admit Do-joon. That’s why we’re switching to a holding company so that we don’t pose a threat. If me and Yeonggi-hyung grow to the point that Dojunie is afraid of me… I won’t be watching.”
“That reminds me of the president again. Hehe.”
Lee Hak-jae almost said, ‘I inherited the blood of both parents’.
When it is impossible to win in a fair way, it does not cover the means and methods. I don’t even hesitate because it’s illegal or criminal.
Lee Hak-jae threw the papers he brought back onto the vibrator’s desk.
“Slowly look again. If it’s negligible, mobilize a swordsman and stab me. Let’s cut each other once. Don’t be afraid that I will get hurt a lot.”
“older brother!”
“It’s strange. What is your brother!”
It was unusual to say a word thrown indifferently.
Lee Hak-jae left the vibrator with a hard expression behind him and left the main building of the Sunyang Group.
Lee Hak-jae was not at ease when many employees who still thought of him as Sun-yang’s second-in-command found him and bowed their heads.
Employees who bowed their heads to him now will soon point fingers at him as a bully who betrayed the chairman’s trust and stole Sun-yang’s money.
Lee Hak-jae realized that he had grown old. In the past, I didn’t even care about the eyes and perceptions of others, but suddenly the meaning of the word honor weighed heavily on my body.
At 5:15 p.m., when he returned home without power, the president’s exercise of authority was suspended, and the prime minister began to act as the president’s authority.
