34. A long-awaited moment (7)
The place where Yoon Hyun-min left.
Kang Dong-cheol stared blankly at the empty seat.
A sense of skepticism washed over me.
Half a year ago.
After clearly determining the route through conversation with Kim Hyun-seong, Kang Dong-cheol actively used his personal connections and abilities to investigate the Golden Circle. Who is behind it, and what evidence is there to prove their existence and guilt. Although he had never been so obsessed with field work since becoming a deputy chief prosecutor, he ran around with such passion that it reminded him of his younger days.
As a result.
I came face to face with a hopeless reality.
It was possible to prove the existence of the Golden Circle, but no evidence could be found anywhere to bring down the mastermind.
‘If it weren’t for Kim Hyun-seong, we wouldn’t have found out that the person behind it was Yoon Hyun-min. In the end, I was just a talker. Although it is circumstantially clear that the Taeyang Group is behind the Golden Circle, it is impossible to prove it. Since he was a member of the royal family in the first place, he must have left no legal room for it for a long time.’
It was amazing.
Hyunmin Yoon too.
Hyunseong Kim too.
Yoon Hyun-min, who committed such a ridiculous act despite having the great background of the Taeyang Group, was so thorough that he left no evidence that could identify him while running Golden Circle for over a dozen years. If the identity was something that not even the deputy chief prosecutor could find out, let alone the general public, Kim Hyun-seong could not understand how on earth they had identified Yoon Hyun-min. Kang Dong-cheol, who had always been special in his life, felt like he had stepped into an unknown world for the first time.
Just like Hyunmin Yoon’s thoughts.
Both the press conference and the investigation into Yoon Hyun-min were premature.
Kang Dong-cheol knew that he needed enough time, but he still stepped into this game.
Hyunseong Kim.
When I received the information and called, he said this.
[Please somehow make Yoon Hyun-min officially deny his guilt. I will take care of everything after that.]
It was absurd.
Kang Dong-cheol, who is called a cow-killing knife, and himself, who is evaluated as the ace of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office.
Kim Hyun-seong only used it as one of the puzzles to push Yoon Hyun-min.
Even after pushing the data like this, Kang Dong-cheol judged that he could not do anything, so Kim Hyun-seong did not hide his thoughts and revealed them. He didn’t know exactly what the plan was. However, due to Kim Hyun-seong’s determination to bring down Yoon Hyun-min at all costs, Kang Dong-cheol knew that he had to accept it in order to achieve her goal.
The plate was laid.
For Kim Hyun-seong’s plan.
I did the sword dance intentionally.
Kang Dong-cheol’s actions in shooting Golden Circle and Yoon Hyun-min were not intended to end the problem in the first place.
“I played the clown the way you wanted, so take care of it from now on.”
It was a helpless day.
Kang Dong-cheol couldn’t leave his seat for a while.
I guess today, after work, I should visit the food stall that was like home to me in my younger days.
* * *
That time.
Lim Cheol-hyung prepared a press conference.
The cell phone had already been turned off.
As soon as I announced my intention to hold a press conference, I completely blocked my ears from calls coming from all directions.
“Whoa.”
My heart was racing.
I was insanely anxious.
He was still anxious about whether this was the right choice, but it wasn’t like there were any other options for him. He had to do it. Since he spilled the water, he had no choice whether the other person died or he himself.
It was then.
An executive from Mirae Investment & Securities, who was helping me prepare for the press conference, suddenly came to me and handed me a cell phone with a stern expression on his face.
“Please take it.”
“who?”
“This is Director Hyunmin Yoon.”
“You bastard… … !”
I knew right away that the other person was Yoon Hyun-min’s liaison.
The pupils shook violently.
I didn’t want to answer the phone, but I took a deep breath and answered the phone with a determined look on my face.
“okay. “What do you want to say?”
[CEO Lim Cheol-hyung. If you are thinking of making an insider disclosure, stop right now.]
“It’s already too late.”
[no. It’s not too late to say what you have planned. Please keep this in mind. What CEO Lim Cheol-hyung is trying to do now is to turn the entire Golden Circle, including me, into enemies. Do you think you can do that and survive? As soon as the press conference ends, Mirae Investment & Securities will face a crisis as it loses clients one after another, and if the day comes when CEO Lim Cheol-hyung loses everything, he will meet me. And that day will be the end of the life of a person named Lim Cheol-hyung.]
It was a blatant threat.
It would be true.
If Yoon Hyun-min said it, it would become reality, and since he actually proved it through his actions so far, the people belonging to the Golden Circle had no choice but to follow Yoon Hyun-min’s orders. If you listen to what is said obediently, you are guaranteed wealth and fame, so there is no need to turn on the monster called Yoon Hyun-min as your enemy.
My mouth was dry.
Even the gaze of the traitor looking down at him was too burdensome right now.
but.
“윤현민, 이 개새끼야. If you wanted to control me better, you should have given me some breathing room in the first place. After it was revealed that Jeong Chan-soo was Kim Hyun-sung’s liaison, I was ostracized from the Golden Circle. Even though you are clearly a member of Heaven, I feel you are increasingly acting like a nobody, so how can I trust you and entrust my life to you? If your world comes someday, my place will not exist then. That’s why. That if I were to die, I would kill him first. “I decided to do it.”
[Won’t you regret that choice?]
“I will not.”
Pop.
I hung up the phone.
Then he looked up at the traitor and spoke fiercely.
“Get out of here, you f*cking bastard. “You are fired as of today.”

Half a year ago.
Lim Cheol-hyung met Kim Pan-ho.
The two had become fast friends after drinking, but the conversation they were having now completely destroyed their relationship.
“… … “What does that mean?”
“It’s just as described. In any case, in the near future, CEO Lim Cheol-hyung will be in a situation where he will never be able to coexist with Golden Circle. In that case, how about joining my plan and creating a way out?”
I was out of breath.
Kim Pan-ho had a humane face, but his curved eyes revealed a coldness beyond that.
“I know that things are not going well for CEO Lim Cheol-hyung within the Golden Circle. I heard that the CEO recommended Chansoo Jeong, the broker who managed Cheonsang, and as a result, many problems arose and his influence internally decreased significantly. the problem is. That’s not the end. “Recently, when you personally visited Hyunmin Yoon, the actual owner of the Golden Circle, didn’t you catch his eye?”
“How did you… … .”
I laughed.
There was no need to hide the truth now.
“Oh, how did you know Yoon Hyun-min’s identity? It’s all thanks to CEO Lim Cheol-hyung. How can you not know when you show off like that? To put it bluntly, I plan to risk my political career to open the ‘Golden Gate’ to bring down Yoon Hyun-min. I cannot guarantee the future, whether I will succeed or fail, but I can assure you of one fact. He is the culprit who brought in the traitor Jeong Chan-soo and caused Yoon Hyun-min’s identity to be discovered. Lim Cheol-hyung, CEO of Mirae Investment & Securities, will definitely pay the price. That’s why I’m giving you a chance. “If you are destined to die anyway, you should bet on me.”
Then I realized.
Kim Pan-ho’s approach was intentional.
He introduced Jeong Chan-soo to himself, and he came to see him for a drink when he was upset.
I felt a strong sense of betrayal.
Although Lim Cheol-hyung’s body was shaking, he wasn’t stupid enough to yell at Kim Pan-ho.
It was a matter of life.
Either die or be killed.
A peaceful future was not permitted.
Lim Cheol-hyung grabbed the glass with trembling hands and gulped down the bitter liquor.
widely-!
“f*ck.”
I looked up at Kim Pan-ho.
Red, bloodshot eyes turned towards the other person.
“What can I do?”
“It’s simple.”
Kim Pan-ho.
The reason he bet his political career on Kim Hyun-seong was because the completeness of the plan was that outstanding.
“As an insider, please expose the truth. “The representative’s testimony will have a greater impact than any other evidence.”
* * *
Lim Cheol-hyung took a step.
When he showed up at the pre-arranged location, the reporters already there started flashing like crazy.
Papapot.
Papa papa phat.
My heart was racing.
Is this really the right thing to do?
If Yoon Hyun-min had shown even the slightest mercy during this time, if there was a chance that his mistakes could be overlooked, he would never have betrayed him. Because the fall of the Golden Circle would be fatal to me as well. However, in a series of situations where wrongdoers were punished, he had no other choice.
I gritted my teeth.
Swallowing my anxiety, I stood in front of reporters with a haggard face.
“Before I begin the story, I would like to tell you that I am also prepared to pay the price as an accomplice. “In the past, I did something I shouldn’t have done, but I want to repent and put things right, even if it’s belated.”
Silence fell.
No one asked any questions.
Now, my attention was focused on what Lim Cheol-hyung was going to say.
“Golden Circle. It’s a real group. The reason I can say this with such confidence is because I belong to that group. The Golden Circle is being operated according to the structure revealed by Kim Hyun-seong. People often referred to as powerful people request their children, and Golden Circle takes care of everything so that the clients can graduate safely. The area is not simply a general category such as improving grades, but refers to ‘school violence’ that shocked the Republic of Korea. Yes, that’s right. “The intention of the founders of the Golden Circle is to create a future in which people belonging to cartels inherit power in the name of school violence, which we all encounter on a daily basis.”
“Then, the Gangnam officetel incident. “Is it okay to think that this is the result of a request?”
It was someone’s question.
Everyone was curious.
Was there really a malicious intent behind the violence that attempted to kill a student?
Lim Cheol-hyung said.
“There are usually two reasons why school violence takes down targets. The other person’s performance threatened the client, or simply offended the client. Hyunseong Kim applied to both cases. Starting from Cheonil High School, he repeatedly failed the Golden Circle’s intentions, and even showed the boldness of retaliating by finding out the client’s identity. Golden Circle considers Kim Hyun-seong to be a thorn in their eyes, but since he transferred to a new school in the middle of Gangnam, Golden Circle’s home base, they had to get rid of him to appease the dissatisfaction of their clients. The result was the Gangnam Officetel incident. “If Kim Hyun-seong had died that day, even if people were shocked, they would have thought it was school violence.”
“CEO Lim Cheol-hyung, what role did you play in Golden Circle?”
“In the past, I served as a bridge connecting clients like everyone else and, over time, those in power. I am fully aware of the fact that I was wrong. “I hope you will consider that.”
This revelation.
It was never a just intention.
As Lim Cheol-hyung continues to talk about his own extenuating circumstances, it is revealed that he is struggling to survive.
“And the case of National Assembly member Lee Gyeong-cheol, which was a problem related to Kim Hyun-sung, is also a problem caused by the ‘Golden Circle’. Within the Golden Circle, there is a special group called Heaven, and National Assembly member Lee Kyung-cheol is a member of Heaven, just like me. “This means that the reason why Kim Hyun-seong assaulted Lee Cheong-soo was not an incident with no connection, but was just an incident that took root from the Golden Circle.”
“CEO Lim Cheol-hyung. “Let me confirm the most important fact.”
It was Jeonghan Ilbo.
Although Bang Hyeon-tae was not here, Lim Cheol-hyung knew that the time had finally come.
“Director Hyunmin Yoon, successor to Taeyang Group. “Is he the real mastermind behind the Golden Circle?”
It was an important question.
Eyes were focused.
The reporters who flocked to this place gathered in droves to confirm this exact question.
Lim Cheol-hyung hesitated.
A river of no return.
It was a forbidden area.
He hesitated several times, but Yoon Hyun-min’s cruel hands pushed his back.
“you’re right. “The heinous group called the Golden Circle was created by Taeyang Group’s director Hyun-min Yoon.”
Papapot.
Papa papa phat.
A camera that emits bright light.
It was the moment when an event that would remain in Korean history, known as the Golden Gate, occurred.
