The Youngest Son Of A Rich Family - Chapter 247
[247] 五日葬 5
I tried my best to show a calm expression as if I already knew everything. It’s a big deal if you feel that the high prosecutor said something you shouldn’t have said.
“He has a bit of that. I can’t give up easily on anything. And in a way, I can understand. It’s a position I’ve held for a very long time, so I can’t help but feel regret.”
Fortunately, I don’t seem to notice anything.
“Anyway, it will be a bit of a burden to the high prosecutor. It’s not that I don’t have a relationship with him at all…”
Looking at the notice of the High Prosecutor’s Office, Kim Seok-hwi, he doesn’t seem to be too embarrassed.
“I’m just about to finish something. Since the Ministry of Justice has stepped up as a swordsman, that will be difficult.”
The scenario of the uncles came out. The Ministry of Justice strangles him, and the chief prosecutor closes the coffin lid.
Of course, if you get what you want before you nail it to the coffin lid, I’ll take it out again.
They already know what they want. rebalance immediately.
look at these! It was pretty heady.
I use the prosecution to catch Lee Hak-jae and Lee Hak-jae becomes a tool to catch me…
“Is there anything that bothers you?”
Seeing my hardened expression, the high prosecutor’s office’s eyes changed. I think I’m worried that I may have said something I shouldn’t have said.
“no. It reminds me of my grandfather who cared for Chief Lee Hak-jae.”
The conversation should end here. If the story is long, unnecessary things will come out.
“Now then, High Prosecutor. We will contact you again after the funeral. In the future, we will proceed at the same place as before.”
“Oh, I wonder if I held on to the busy person for too long…”
“He says everything. You left the key with our staff in the parking lot, right?”
“yes.”
The high prosecutor stood up immediately as if he wanted to quickly check the money in the trunk.
“Then go first. I’ll be leaving in a little while.”
When High Prosecutor Kim Seok-hwi left, he hurriedly took out his cell phone.
However, I was unable to inform Chief Lee Hak-jae.
Rather than making hasty judgments, I need to think more and turn the situation in my favor.
I went back to my grandfather’s house.
You have to talk, think, and plan while looking at the face of the person concerned.

Condolences flocked day and night, and the mansion with all the lights on was so bright that it was hard to tell the difference between day and night.
In the guesthouse, important people had a meal or had a drink, and the simple table set in the yard was occupied by people who went to have a bite to eat.
The people who found me bowed their heads and greeted me, but I could feel the trend of the trend in their expressions.
It is clear that he is an executive in the financial sector, but he is not making a fuss like before. With the death of my grandfather, who stood behind me, he must have expected me to fall away.
“Where have you been? Haven’t seen you in a while?”
The liver collapsed.
It was because Lee Hak-jae, the head of the department, appeared and patted me on the shoulder.
“Ah, Chief. I came because I had something to take care of.”
“Miracle?”
“…yes.”
“Well, the stock market is fluctuating these days. Could it be because of the impeachment of the president?”
“Yes. It’s a temporary phenomenon, but the team leaders and managers said they were shaking, so they came to center.”
“center? how?”
“Regardless of whether the impeachment motion is passed or not, it is only a matter of time before the normalcy is restored, and even if it is passed, the Constitutional Court will dismiss it.”
“How can you be sure? Politics is a creature. No one knows how to wriggle.”
A knife aiming for his neck was approaching right in front of his eyes, but seeing him knowing nothing about it made me feel strange. What would a person who only stabbed someone’s neck under the protection of the strong castle wall of Sunyang and Grandfather show when the opposite happens?
“Insight helps us to anticipate those things accurately. Hehe.”
“Now you’ve thrown away all your pretending to be humble.”
Lee Hak-jae stared at me and said.
“But while you were away, the president’s burial place was changed. Didn’t you predict that with your insight?”
“yes? what is that…?”
“It was changed to Gunsan Sunyang Museum. The wife was stubborn and the children accepted it. The reason is plausible. Because the starting point of Sunyang is Gunsan. Rest in peace there… Of course your father was against it, but what can I do? The widow and the second son are pushing.”
“Oh shit!”
A swearing erupted out of nowhere.
Doesn’t this mean you’re going to send it far away and stop caring about it?
His fingertips trembled and he clenched his fists. As I was about to run into the house, Chief Lee Hak-jae grabbed my arm.
“Arthur. It’s none of your business.”
“Let this go.”
“Funerals are for the widow and her children. Even if the grandson comes along, nothing will change. Grandchildren have no choice but to follow the adults’ decisions. Even if you make noise, only you will have a hard time.”
He gripped my arm tighter.
“Be patient. If you are strong enough to bury the president’s grave later, this is not a big deal. Even if the chairman is invited to the main building of the Sunyang Group, no one will be able to speak. Save your strength now for that time.”
Unclenched fist. What this chief said was absolutely correct.
The tears I had been holding back spilled out.
I promised to say hello every day, but I couldn’t even keep it.
* * *
On the fifth day, I saw my grandfather on his last journey. The Ungu procession left the house and stopped at the main building in Sunyang for a while before heading back to Gunsan.
Like everyone else, the ceremony was a sea of tears. Even my aunt, who had no affection for her eyes, was welling up with tears, but I gritted my teeth and endured it.
This is no place for me to shed tears. We must shed the tears we endured when we moved it to the front yard of the Sunyang Art Museum in Yongin, not here in Gunsan.
After leaving my grandfather, I stayed at home for two days.
“what? I thought I was living like a disabled person because I couldn’t overcome my sadness, but are you fine?”
Oh Se-hyeon, who came in with a cup of coffee, looked at me carefully looking at the notebook and looked at me with a relieved expression.
“I was at home sorting out my thoughts.”
“What are you thinking?”
“Many things. Did you find out anything…?”
“does not exist. Prosecutors are quiet. I checked all prosecutors’ offices in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, but there is no investigation related to Sunyang. So do people.”
“uncle. I have found out something.”
“what? hey! Why are you saying that now!”
He screamed, but his face was full of curiosity.
“Didn’t you have time to talk?”
It was funny to see a person who went to Southeast Asia because he hated this, but now the only person I can exchange my opinion with is Oh Se-hyun.
“The target of the eldest fathers is Chief Lee Hak-jae.”
“what?”
“Funny, right? I moved the high prosecutor’s office and key positions in the Ministry of Justice to punish people who would quietly retire without doing anything.”
“so why? Chief Lee is not trying to build his own power, nor is he greedy for the Sunyang affiliates.”
“I hate being silent. It is a request to be on their side.”
“Be loyal to Sunyang until you die? Aren’t you crazy?”
Could it be that he felt the same way with Chief Lee Hak-jae? Explode your anger as if it were your own business.
“It’s not Sunyang, it’s two sons. Making my share and Miracle’s share into paper. I ordered it, but the manager refused.”
When he talked about the proposal for the position of CEO of Sunyang Electronics to switch to a holding company, Oh Se-hyeon erased his anger and began to worry.
“Can this chief survive? There have been many times when you have dipped your hands in the dirty work of that nobleman.”
“Will it be hard? Even taking bribes or embezzlement of breach of trust is a life sentence. Especially since you can tie it together with a member of the National Assembly, it’s no different from a bonanza. A general election is soon in the midst of impeachment. Chief Lee Hak-jae is the detonator of the powder keg. If the prosecution starts to handle this, there will be a huge aftermath.”
“hey! by the way. What if Lee Hak-jae said he would not die alone? If you grab Sunyang by the ankle and ask to die together, it’s actually going against the wind.”
“No. The ankle that Chief Lee can grab is only the grandfather, not the pure sheep. But my grandfather passed away. It’s poison. There is no big guy in our country who will tarnish the honor of my grandfather who passed away.”
Oh Se-hyeon frowned as if my calm tone was strange.
“What are you thinking? Did you warn Chief Lee Hak-jae that the prosecution is targeting you?
“no. You have to pretend you don’t know.”
“what?”
“Leave it still. How far will the prosecution drive Lee to the precipice? It would be better if I pushed it off the cliff altogether.”
Oh Se-hyun’s eyes twinkled.
“I have to protect that nobleman for you, so I don’t think I’m going to throw it away… In a dramatic moment, voila! Would you like to appear?”
“yes. The reason why the prosecution can bite Lee Hak-jae’s background is because his background has disappeared. We are the background.”
“HW group?”
“If you hang on a cliff and drop a rope right before you fall, you have to catch it. Is there any other way? I will sit in the chairmanship of the HW Group, which I stubbornly refused. For me, I am grateful, and for the two uncles, I am grinding my teeth.”
Oh Se-hyun opened her mouth wide.
“Hey… this kid has gotten even more clever in the few months I haven’t seen him. Think about it.”
“A sharp spear that attacks the HW group and the two uncles with a sturdy shield that protects my stake. Wouldn’t it be a vessel that can play the role of one person?”
“It’s still there. Anyway, you’re pretty toxic too. You know you’re a person who’s about to fall into a swamp, but you’re just watching. Hehe.”
“We are still far away. You have to become stronger and stronger. Since I have no strength, won’t my grandfather go through all kinds of humiliation? You have to quickly build up your strength so that you can close your eyes properly underground. If Chief Lee helps, it will be faster.”
Oh Se-hyeon sighed heavily as he looked at me with a lot of energy in his eyes.
“I think it’s wrong to go back soon?”
“My uncle is in a hurry, so it will be over quickly. Go see Director Lee Hak-jae inaugurated as HW Group Chairman.”
* * *
“Chief Jang. What’s up? What kind of wind did you call me first?”
“How have you been? I couldn’t even come to see you at the funeral of the president.”
“are you okay. Many high-ranking officials came to condolence. I can’t even tell if the chief prosecutor came or not. Let’s say you came and went. haha.”
Lee Hak-jae gave a pleasant laugh and immediately stopped. It was because Manager Jang’s expression was unusual.
It looks like he’s nervous, or he seems to be paying attention. He must have asked to meet to say something difficult.
“What are you doing? I don’t like the complexion. In case of financial problems…”
“Oh no. Chief. How can I contact the manager first because of money? Even if you took care of me from the time I was a rank prosecutor, I received grace that I will never be able to repay.”
Director Jang hurriedly waved his hand.
“then?”
“I’m sorry to say this, but… the Justice Department line players of the Central District Prosecutor’s Office are moving.”
“The Ministry of Justice?”
“yes. As you know, aren’t prosecutors dispatched by the Ministry of Justice the front runners with guaranteed success? That’s why prosecutors who follow them are stuck everywhere at the District Prosecutor’s Office.”
“Except for the story we all know! who is this? A swordsman?”
“It seems that the chief of the Prosecutors’ Office’s Criminal Planning Division is at the center. They are sharpening knives by mobilizing the District Prosecutors’ Office line…”
“The core is moving.”
“yes.”
“What is the target? Who are you sacrificing? Could it be our cruiser?”
“That’s…”
Chief Lee Hak-jae’s heart sank as he lowered his head and couldn’t speak properly.
“me?”
Director Jang nodded his head very subtly.
Chief Lee Hak-jae’s fingertips also began to tremble slightly.
