The Youngest Son Of A Rich Family - Chapter 245
[245] Five Days 3
“High Prosecutor. You must have been busy with official duties, but you took a difficult step.”
“What are you saying? Isn’t that where you should come?”
“Did you feel any discomfort when you came?”
“When I came in, I saw that there wasn’t a single reporter in the neighborhood, so he seemed very concerned.”
High Prosecutor Kim Seok-hwi of the Seoul High Court found it strange that only about a dozen policemen were hanging around and helping with parking in the place where the giant of the Korean economy had left.
“Rather than we cared about it, it is because of the political situation that is currently fluctuating. Aren’t all the reporters with cameras slung over their shoulders camped in Yeouido? There is no media outlet to care about here.”
“Oh, I see. That one is on the verge of bursting too…”
The high prosecutor who visited the funeral home calmed his excitement by talking with the two vice presidents who quietly summoned him.
Chairman Jin called him to the study and after a short talk, he was promoted to chief prosecutor.
I waited in anticipation that if I was called one more time, I would become the prosecutor general, but that opportunity was gone forever.
It was a simple condolence message that I had given up on, but I couldn’t help but be excited again when Chairman Jin’s successors called for it.
“High Prosecutor.”
“yes. Please speak.”
High Prosecutor Kim Seok-hwi pricked up his ears.
“It is very difficult for us since our father, who was the pillar of the group, passed away.”
“What are you talking about? The two vice-presidents are holding on together… Now that there are two pillars, wouldn’t it be more solid?”
“There are two pillars, but only one cornerstone is weak. So, I am trying to plant two solid cornerstones again, and I desperately need the help of the high prosecutor.”
At the vibrator’s polite attitude, the high prosecutor immediately scratched his eyes.
There was obviously a problem with the two sons taking control of the Sunyang Group.
If it’s a legal matter, find a large law firm or a high-ranking lawyer who is good enough to receive the courtesy of the former office.
A high-ranking legal professional is given a large sum of money and forced to resign from public office, and then used as a dedicated lawyer.
Isn’t this the ABC for chaebols solving legal problems?
If it is not a legal problem, it means that he needs his own power as the current high prosecutor.
Either way, it’s a great opportunity not to be missed.
“Just speak. Have I been indebted to the late president once or twice? Of course I have to help.”
The high prosecutor, who had been talking with a bright smile, smiled at the expressions of the two vice presidents. It was because the two people glaring at him were frowning.
Embarrassed, the high prosecutor quickly pointed out what his mistake was.
And then I realized I had misspelled one word.
“Oops, I made a mistake on this. Help… Don’t get me wrong. Of course you should.”
When they said that they had to do it, their expressions softened.
“It puts my mind at ease when you say that.”
Jin Young-gi nodded, and his younger brother took over.
“I want to remove the foundation stone my father used and put the foundation stone my brothers use, but there is someone who is interfering. I won’t get out of the way by sitting on the old foundation stone.”
“Is there such a thing?”
“yes. If I do as I please, I want to lift him up and get rid of him. But it’s hard to stay still.”
Jinyoungki also added one more word.
“Courtesy is important and treatment is important, but what if the pillars of the Sunyang Group fail to take their place because of it? If Sunyang is shaken, won’t the Korean economy be shaken?”
Those who even mentioned the national economy for a job that at best is only strengthening the management rights of private companies were absurd, but we have to fight to not miss the opportunity. Seriously too.
“Of course. If the leader falters, the rest will be confused. The management rights of Sunyang must be established on a rock.”
The high prosecutor knew what they wanted.
“Who are you? I will do my best to bring him out.”
At the words of the high prosecutor, the two brothers glanced at each other and opened their mouths.
“It will be a little stressful. It’s Lee Hak-jae, the head of the department.”
“yes? This manager…?”
High Prosecutor Kim Seok-hwi opened his eyes wide.
It’s not like the kkondae executives of the past. He was the person who ruled the world on behalf of Chairman Jin just a few days ago.
There is no place where Lee Hak-jae’s influence does not reach. He’s not one to keep quiet when he knows someone is sharpening a knife behind him.
Looking at the expression of the high prosecutor’s office, which hardened in an instant, the two brothers said.
“Seeing that the chief of the Seoul High Prosecutor’s Office, who is said to drop flying birds, is so nervous, I think Chief Lee Hak-jae is amazing.”
“Anyway, it’s a kite with a string off. If Sunyang doesn’t cover it, you’re just a middle-aged unemployed person who was kicked out of the company.”
Jin Young-gi said it was not a big deal, but the high prosecutor’s expression did not brighten.
The moment he instructs Lee Hak-jae to investigate behind him, he will hear from Chief Lee Hak-jae. And there is no way I can feel comfortable when I will receive a phone call from the prosecutor general, who is furious.
The vibrator was supposed to put this jerk’s mind at ease. It’s already started, but can’t we work while taking care of each person?
“High Prosecutor.”
“yes.”
“Do you know hyenas?”
“yes? Are you hyena? They say they only eat rotten meat…”
“You’re misunderstood. Hyenas can eat carrion, but they are actually group hunters.”
“Oh is that so?”
The high prosecutor was a little upset, wondering if he was comparing himself to a hyena.
“Have you ever seen a herd of hyenas hunting an old lion?”
“yes? Oh no.”
“Actually, an old lion chased by a young male lion is not very threatening. However, other predators fear it just because it is a lion. But hyenas are very smart. The bravest of the bunch will approach and nudge you.”
What is it? Does the vibrator compare itself to a brave hyena?
“But the old lion only roars loudly and does not attack hyenas that have touched him. He can see dozens of hyenas in his eyes. It’s all about threatening them so they don’t attack at the same time. In fact, we can’t even guarantee a one-on-one fight, so there’s nothing we can do about it.”
The high prosecutor knew why he was telling this story. This isn’t a hyena story, it’s an old lion story.
“I knew the herd of hyenas. That old lion has no strength and poses no threat… Now, only the final fate of the lion being torn apart by hyenas remains.”
“Are you saying that I want to be the bravest hyena?”
“It can’t be. How does our high prosecutor do such a thing? The Criminal Planning Division of the Ministry of Justice will take on that task. All you have to do is give a signal so that the rest of the hyenas attack at the same time.”
The inspector’s expression brightened.
At least it was because they avoided the role of infantry rushing from the front. No matter how much Sunyang’s successors demanded, he bought time to understand the situation.
Lee Hak-jae is not an old lion, just looks old, but if he still has strong teeth and claws, it’s enough to step back and throw him away.
The high prosecutor’s face brightened again.
“No problem. Then, if you have nothing more to say, I will stand up. I don’t know if I took up too much time or not. The mourners will be waiting in line.”
“Everyone tells me to wait. Because the high prosecutor is a more important person. haha.”
When the vibrator made a mouth-watering sound, Jin Young-ki said a word.
“This time my mother came back from Europe and brought me some paintings. Among them, I put a picture of a French artist who is said to be raising stock prices these days in the prosecutor’s car. You can hang it at home and enjoy it, or you can sell it to our Sunyang Art Foundation.”
“Oh my gosh… you don’t have to worry about it like this…”
“No. Even though I am new to art, it looks like a very expensive painting.”
The picture is not important. Being able to resell is important.
What would you do if you left that painted paint at home? Isn’t a thick wad of bills much more beautiful?
The High Prosecutor’s Office smiled and withdrew as if forgetting that this was a funeral home.
“Will he do well?”
“Who is there to trust? We must mobilize all who can be mobilized.”
The brothers kept pressing their temples as if they were tired.
“Let’s go down. We must meet again.”
“Who are you this time?”
“National bank branch managers. We’re holding a stake, but it’s going to be a piece of toilet paper. I need to prescribe some medicine.”
The two of them went downstairs with their tired bodies.
* * *
“Today’s roster.”
Deputy Kim Yoon-seok approached me and handed me a piece of memo.
“Is there anything special?”
“I checked the memo. But it looks like a painting in the trunk of a car.”
“painting?”
“yes. It is clear that the frame is large. It was well wrapped in a box and a wrapping cloth.”
“How about money?”
“Until now, none. They are all pictures.”
A new way to launder money.
Give a picture and live again. Since the source is unknown, there is no need to keep a record of who sold the painting. However, the money paid when buying a painting can be treated as an expense for the purchase.
It is a new method of dropping bribes as expenses.
“What’s unique about it?”
“The people with whom we have been secretly talking for the longest time are all on the prosecution side, including the Ministry of Justice.”
“Prosecution?”
“yes.”
weird.
Due to the impeachment of the president, the political situation is unpredictable. Of course, don’t we have to talk a lot with politicians?
But what about the prosecution?
I don’t know if the prosecution is pointing a knife at our group, but I can’t find any such indication.
If it’s not a company, it’s a person….
Maybe me?
Could it be that the prosecution is trying to move at the urging of the grandmother who is blatantly trying to remove me from the group? Was this the story we talked about in my grandfather’s study then?
Even if the prosecution robs me, nothing comes out.
But don’t the prosecution make it easy to get rid of the crime that makes the crime that doesn’t exist?
You shouldn’t be relieved just because it’s the time of your grandfather’s funeral. They use their grandfather’s funeral to plot a plot.
In order not to regret it, I felt like I had to come up with a contingency plan.
“Chief Kim. Prepare the tea out of sight. I am going home now.”
“yes.”
Deputy Kim immediately ran out without asking why.
* * *
I created an overlapping list by comparing the name of the memo given by Assistant Manager Kim with the note left by my grandfather.
The first thing I need to figure out right now is to check the target the prosecutor who came to the funeral home received from the uncles.
If my face is drawn on the target, it may be difficult to counterattack, but the prosecution itself must tear the target.
After organizing the work to be done, I prepared the money for Assistant Manager Kim Yun-seok, who was waiting in the living room.
“Please find 2 billion as soon as possible.”
“How about the distribution?”
“Let’s divide by 100 million.”
“All right.”
Deputy Kim must have sensed the urgency and quickly ran out.
After a while, CEO Oh Se-hyun came in grumbling.
“hey. What can I do over the phone? Why don’t we meet in person? Aren’t you busy?”
“I’m busy, but there are people who make it even busier.”
Oh Se-hyun, seeing my serious expression, asked with a straight face.
“what’s the matter?”
I explained in detail what happened today and gave a list of memos.
Oh Se-hyeon began to look closely at the memo.
