35. The price of a past life (2)
The insider document revealed by Lim Cheol-hyung was a kind of circumstantial situation.
There was only some evidence that clearly indicated a referral, and most of it stopped at the level of identifying the perpetrator and victim.
That alone was enough.
If oil was poured, it was up to the fire to burn.
[This is Yoon Byeong-hee, a victim of the Golden Circle. In fact, until recently, I had no idea that the damage I suffered was due to the ‘Golden Circle’. She remembers that starting in her second year of high school, her grades improved and she received excellent grades on the school’s own tests. It was from then on. Kang Kyung-ho, who was mentioned in the document I exposed this time, began to harass me persistently, and one day I was hit so hard on the face that I had to have as many as three of his teeth extracted. The shock at that time made me quit school. While receiving psychiatric treatment, my condition improved significantly, but after realizing that everything I was experiencing was due to the Golden Circle, my anxiety symptoms were getting worse again. please. Please severely punish the perpetrator and the Golden Circle so that I can escape the nightmare of the past.]
Even if there is no evidence.
There were victims.
Clear testimony that Kang Kyung-ho harassed Yoon Byeong-hee, and the suspicious cash flow pointed out by Lim Cheol-hyung.
The fire burned.
Starting with Byung-hee Yoon, the victims included in the ‘insider document’ testified about the situation at the time, and people rose up like fire and raised their voices to punish the perpetrators. In fact, immediate feedback was provided. It was crowded with people being investigated by both the prosecution and the police, and in some cases, it was proven by the perpetrator’s confession that the request was actually paid.
That wasn’t the only problem.
People were curious about how far the request reached in the end, rather than simply finding the perpetrator.
[If you think about it, the existence of a perpetrator and a victim means that there is also a client who caused this situation. Let’s take the case of Kang Kyung-ho and Yoon Byeong-hee as an example. Who wouldn’t have liked Byung-hee Yoon’s grades? It’s obviously the same school, and if grades are the issue, there’s a very high chance that the grades will be similar. Also, a background sufficient to request a job from the Golden Circle is a prerequisite. Then, the candidates are… … .]
Found the culprit.
If you know the perpetrator and the victim, it was not as difficult as you thought to identify the client who was the ‘link’.
A social phenomenon that spreads like fire.
It was very uncomfortable for someone.
* * *
That time.
Park Jeong-hak, a member of Cheon Sang and the representative of a conglomerate affiliate, was meeting with an agent of Golden Circle.
“From now on, any contact by phone or face-to-face meeting with ‘him’ will be impossible. Please understand that you can only convey your opinion through me, and that this meeting will only take place after completely blocking any room for recording.”
“… … “I know what you mean.”
I felt slightly uncomfortable.
A major revelation.
Golden Gate.
Yoon Hyun-min, who was cornered, expressed his intention to manage situations in which he would be identified more thoroughly in the future.
I understand.
the problem is.
“This current situation. How are you going to solve this? It wasn’t a bad thing to silence public opinion by using Rep. Lee Kyung-cheol, but the problem is the insider document. It also includes ‘my request’. “The moment my son is identified by people acting as if he were a detective, I am also not free from the fire of public opinion.”
“We will do our best to resolve it.”
“So, how?”
“For now, taking the first step may be counterproductive. First, after watching… … .”
“hello!”
bang!
I hit the desk.
Park Jeong-hak’s face turned red.
“Do you know that I asked you to meet me just to hear those words? By then it is already too late. The perpetrator came forward and the victim came forward, but from the moment a rumor spread that the client was my son, even if we said we would solve the problem, there was bound to be backlash. Have you forgotten what the Golden Circle means? Strict confidentiality and completely blocking any room for problems. What on earth is the current Golden Circle supposed to do? “Are you not paying attention to promises because it puts you in danger?”
“sorry. “We will try to resolve it as best as we can.”
“… … what the.”
It felt like I was talking to a wall.
No matter how much I talked about it with the agent who had no decision-making authority, in the end, no clear solution emerged.
“Pass it to him. “The meaning of mutual destruction, that we are all a community of destiny.”
“All right.”
The deputy withdrew.
I was very annoyed.
The conversation was devoid of any substance, and the situation was as bad as not having a conversation.
‘I guess you should live your life first.’
Lee Kyung-cheol died.
The members of Heaven, who confirmed the results, felt cold at Yoon Hyun-min’s cruelty rather than relief at having calmed public opinion. He is not just anyone else, but a key figure in the ruling party. He is a person who exerts a strong influence on the current government, so how can we pressure him to commit suicide? Thinking that they too might end up in Lee Kyung-cheol’s hands at any time, they lost trust from then on.
No more.
I couldn’t trust Yoon Hyun-min.
By mentioning the word “common annihilation,” I just hoped that each would struggle to protect each other’s lives.
My head hurt.
I lay down on the sofa for a while to relax, but the vibration of my phone stimulated my nerves.
I checked my phone.
Park Jeong-hak, who had a grumpy face at first, corrected his posture with a surprised face.
“What is this…?” … !”
[This is Kim Hyun-seong.]
It was a name that should not be contacted.
And the content too.
[We have already secured evidence proving that CEO Park Jeong-hak is a member of Heaven. Let’s meet again. In order to avoid the worst situation, shouldn’t the CEO also do his best?]
It was enough to embarrass Park Jeong-hak.
* * *
The meeting was secret.
Park Jeong-hak, facing Kim Hyun-seong, spoke with as calm a face as possible.
“The reason I agreed to this meeting does not mean that I will acknowledge the contents of the ‘text’. “I think I need a full explanation as to why I sent that text message, so I just agreed to meet like this.”
“Yes, I guess so. “It’s hard to understand why someone like the CEO of a large corporation would react to false information, but if he says that, you have to believe it.”

It was an obvious mockery.
Park Jeong-hak’s expression hardened in response to his grumpy reaction.
Okay.
Hyunseong Kim looked around.
“Now we are used to these secret spaces. A space where confidentiality is guaranteed and the possibility of recording is completely blocked. That’s probably why I was brought here. I understand. Until my purpose is clear, I cannot say anything that will leave evidence behind. So, without spinning around, let me tell you my purpose.”
“… … .”
There was no answer back.
Since this was an expected situation, Kim Hyun-seong continued speaking.
“The Golden Circle is a group where confidentiality is strictly guaranteed. In the beginning, many people doubted that fact, but the group was maintained for over a decade and trust was built. However, this latest insider revelation has proven that the secret does not last forever. “To be precise, it has been proven that it is a structure in which no one belonging to the Golden Circle can be safe, except for Yoon Hyun-min, the mastermind behind the Golden Circle.”
smart.
I tapped my fingers on the table.
That appearance continued to upset Park Jeong-hak.
“In the insider documents revealed to the world, the perpetrators and victims are accurately identified. In fact, with those two pieces of information, it is not difficult to find out the ‘client’. There is a clear reason why the victim became a victim, and in the end, given the structure of the Golden Circle, where the client is likely to be from the same school, it is impossible to completely avoid being on the wrong side of the dragon. That means. This means that we can fully suspect the series of circumstances in which CEO Park Jeong-hak’s son mobilized Song Jae-ryong, a member of the Golden Circle, to plunge the victim into the abyss. “It’s a really interesting structure, isn’t it?”
I laughed.
Kim Hyun-seong’s sharp, penetrating eyes completely confused Park Jeong-hak.
“The structure of the Golden Circle is something Hyunmin Yoon can never reach. The fact that it is limited only to him.”
* * *
Ten years in a vegetative state.
And after returning, the last few years.
While relentlessly researching the Golden Circle, Kim Hyun-seong faced a problem that he could not solve.
‘The person behind it cannot be identified.’
It is certain that it is Yoon Hyun-min.
However, there was no evidence anywhere that Yoon Hyun-min created the Golden Circle and directed everything.
It was a frustrating situation.
Even though he struggled hard to finally find out the identity of Yoon Hyeon-min, there was no way to punish him without evidence. He continued to worry. In a situation that seemed out of reach, Kim Hyun-seong became increasingly devastated.
Then one day.
Hyunseong Kim stared blankly at the whiteboard.
Top.
There was Hyunmin Yoon.
And underneath there was heaven.
[Lee Kyung-cheol] [Im Cheol-hyung] [Park Jeong-hak] [Jeon Sang-cheol] [Hong Dong-young]… … .
Lots of names.
Disgusting creatures.
Kim Hyun-seong watched for a while and then drew a long line between Yoon Hyun-min and them.
Okay.
“A structure that can never reach Yoon Hyun-min.”
I took a step back.
Let’s look at the whiteboard from afar.
“That would mean that the two relationships could be completely severed at any time.”
Only then.
Hyunseong Kim began to see this complexly intertwined group called the Golden Circle from a new perspective.
* * *
Hyunseong Kim said.
“I think CEO Park Jeong-hak knows well now. I have no intention of ever stopping. I have made numerous preparations to destroy the Golden Circle, and the Golden Gate is by no means the result of chance. It is all the product of a plan created in my head. And as planned, the members of Heaven will be destroyed. From the moment the clients are identified one by one through the insider document, the fire will grow out of control and engulf the heavens.”
“… … so. “Did you come to me to tell me that?”
“Of course not.”
The initiative has passed.
Park Jeong-hak’s attitude of trying not to appear weak and his caution in asking about his intentions proved him.
The division has begun.
If only the Golden Circle was solid.
The variable Lim Cheol-hyung itself would not have occurred in the first place.
“In fact, if you look at the members of Heaven individually, it cannot be said that they have less power than ‘Yoon Hyun-min’. This is true even for Rep. Lee Kyung-cheol, who committed suicide this time, but the reason why he is swayed by Yoon Hyun-min is clear. Because he is everyone’s vice. Since he has been running the Golden Circle for the past dozen years and has secured all kinds of corruption, his downfall will mean the ruin of everyone. The problem is if the members of Heaven are judged by public opinion like this. What is the meaning of the secret that was kept until the end? Sometimes you need a change in thinking. “If we must protect Yoon Hyun-min’s existence at all costs in order to avoid the worst, what would be the ‘lesser evil’ now that the worst is just in front of us?”
slowly.
put pressure on the opponent.
Kim Hyun-seong’s logic wrapped around Park Jeong-hak’s body like a snake.
“Yoon Hyun-min abandoned Rep. Lee Gyeong-cheol to live for himself. In this harsh reality where loyalty to each other is not important, if you are only looking for your own way to survive, the answer is surprisingly simple. Just as Yoon Hyun-min sacrificed Lee Kyung-cheol to silence public opinion. “If we abandon Hyunmin Yoon, we can change the direction of this raging fire.”
Hyunmin Yoon and Cheon Sang.
It is a mutually beneficial relationship.
In their relationship, where superiors and subordinates did not exist, a clear rift was forming due to Yoon Hyun-min’s cruel hands and one-sided sacrifice. It was Yoon Hyun-min’s mistake. He was convinced that he had complete control over the Golden Circle.
His control.
It was only meaningful when each other’s safety was guaranteed.
The benefit that Kim Hyun-seong wanted to gain from Lim Cheol-hyung’s revelation was the distrust that would arise from within, not Yoon Hyun-min, from the beginning.
Tuk.
threw a fire
The small flame of words ignited a fire in Park Jeong-hak’s heart.
“Choose. Are you going to perish like this, or are you not? Are you willing to struggle until the end to survive?”
