[247]Five Japanese Celebrations 5
I tried my best to keep a calm expression as if I already knew everything. It would be a big deal if the Chief Prosecutor felt that he had said something he should not have said.
“He’s a bit like that. I can’t give up on anything easily. And on the other hand, it’s understandable. He has held this position for a very long time, so he cannot help but have regrets.”
Fortunately, I don’t think I noticed anything.
“Anyway, it must be a bit of a burden for the Chief Prosecutor. It’s not that I have no relationship with him at all… .”
After observing the feelings of Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok-hwi, it seems that he is not that embarrassed.
“I’m just finishing things up. “The Ministry of Justice has stepped forward as a knife holder, so they will be in trouble.”
The uncles’ scenario 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 nailing it to the coffin lid, they will take it out again.
They already know what they want. Immediate rebalancing of shares.
Look at these! I put quite a bit of thought into it.
I used the prosecution to catch Lee Hak-jae, and Lee Hak-jae became a tool to catch me… .
“Is there anything on your mind?”
The Chief Prosecutor’s eyes changed when he saw my stiff expression. He seems concerned that he may have said something he shouldn’t.
“no. “I think of my grandfather who loved Director Hak-jae Lee.”
The conversation should end here. As the story gets longer, unnecessary things tend to appear.
“Okay then, Chief Prosecutor. I will contact you again after the funeral. From now on, we will proceed at that location as before.”
“Oh my, I wonder if I held on to a busy person for too long…” .”
“He says all kinds of things. By the way, you left your keys with our staff in the parking lot, right?”
“yes.”
The chief prosecutor also stood up immediately, probably because he wanted to quickly check the money in the trunk.
“Then go first. “I’ll be leaving in a moment.”
When Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok-hwi left, I quickly took out my cell phone.
However, I was unable to inform Director Lee Hak-jae.
Rather than making hasty decisions, I need to think more and turn the situation to my advantage.
I headed back to my grandfather’s house.
You have to talk, think, and make plans while looking at the person involved.
* * *
Mourners flocked in all day and night, and the mansion, with all the lights on, was so bright that it was difficult to distinguish between day and night.
At the guesthouse, important people had a meal or a drink, and the simple table set up in the yard was occupied by people who were just grabbing a bite to eat.
People who saw me bowed their heads and greeted me, but I could feel the trend of the trend in their expressions.
Even though he is clearly a financial executive, he doesn’t make a fuss like he used to. Now that my grandfather, who had my back, has passed away, he must be expecting me to fall apart.
“Where have you been? “I haven’t seen you for a while?”
My heart sank.
That’s because Director Hakjae Lee showed up and tapped me on the shoulder.
“Ah, manager. “I went because I had some business to take care of.”
“Miracle?”
“… yes.”
“Well, the stock market is fluctuating these days. “I guess it’s because of the impeachment of the president, right?”
“Yes. “It’s a temporary phenomenon, but the team leader and managers said they were shaking, so I came here to help them stay centered.”
“center? how?”
“Whether the impeachment bill is passed or rejected, it is only a matter of time before normalcy is restored, and even if it is passed, it will be dismissed by the Constitutional Court.”
“How can you be sure? Politics is a living thing. “No one knows how to wriggle.”
It was a strange feeling to see him unaware of a knife aimed at his neck. What would a person who used to stab someone’s neck, protected by the strong walls of Sunyang and grandfather, show if the opposite were the case?
“Insight helps us accurately predict such things. “Hehe.”
“Now I’ve thrown away all pretense of humility.”
Hakjae Lee looked at me intently and said.
“But while you were away, the chairman’s burial site was changed. “Couldn’t you have predicted that with your insight?”
“yes? What is that… ?”
“It was changed to Gunsan Cruise Museum. The wife was stubborn and the children accepted it. The justification is plausible. Because Sunyang’s starting point is Gunsan. Sleep peacefully there… . Of course your father was against it, but what can you do? “The widow, eldest son, and second son are pushing for it.”
“You f*cking idiot!”
Cursing suddenly came out.
Isn’t this saying that they are going to send the male child far away and not pay attention to him?
My fingertips were shaking and I clenched my fists. As I was about to run into the house, Director Hakjae Lee grabbed my arm.
“Arthur. “It’s not up to you to do anything.”
“Let’s put this down.”
“Funerals are the widow and children’s business. Even if the grandson comes along, nothing will change. Grandchildren have no choice but to follow adults’ decisions. “Even if you make a lot of noise, you’ll only have a hard time.”
He grabbed my arm harder.
“Be patient. If you have the strength to move the Chairman’s grave later, this is no big deal. Even if we invite the chairman to Sunyang Group’s main building, no one can keep their mouths shut. “Save your strength now for then.”
I unclenched my fists. What Director Lee said was correct in every detail.
The tears I had been holding back poured out.
I promised to say hello every day, but I ended up not being able to keep even that.
* * *
On the fifth day, I saw off my grandfather on his final journey. The ungu procession left the house, stopped briefly at the main building in Sunyang, and then headed back to Gunsan.
Like everyone else, there was a sea of tears during the graduation ceremony. Even my eldest mother, who had no affection for her, had tears in her eyes, but I gritted my teeth and held them back.
This is not the place for me to shed tears. I have to shed the tears I held back when it was moved to the front yard of Sunyang Art Museum in Yongin, not here in Gunsan.
After sending my grandfather away, I stayed at home for two days.
“what? “I thought she was living like a wreck because she couldn’t get over her sadness, but she’s fine?”

Oh Se-hyeon, who came in with coffee, looked at me with a puzzled look as I carefully looked at my notes.
“I stayed at home to collect my thoughts.”
“What are you thinking?”
“There are many things. By the way, did you find out something? ?”
“does not exist. The prosecution is quiet. I checked with the Seoul and Gyeonggi-do District Prosecutors’ Offices, but there is no investigation related to Sunyang’s side. “It’s the same with people.”
“uncle. “Here’s what I found out.”
“what? hey! “Why are you saying that now?”
He shouted, but his face was full of curiosity.
“There was no time to tell you, right?”
It was funny that the person who went to Southeast Asia because he didn’t like this kind of thing showed curiosity, but the only person I can exchange opinions with now is Oh Se-hyun.
“The target of the uncles is Director Lee Hak-jae.”
“what?”
“It’s fun, right? “I moved the Chief of the High Prosecutors’ Office and key positions in the Ministry of Justice to discourage people who wanted to quietly retire without doing anything.”
“so why? “Director Lee is not trying to create his own influence, nor is he greedy for Sunyang affiliates.”
“I don’t like being still. “This is a request to be on their side.”
“Be loyal to Sunyang until death? “Aren’t you crazy?”
Is it because he feels a kinship with Director Hakjae Lee? He explodes with anger as if it were his own business.
“It’s not Sunyang, it’s the two sons. Turning my shares and Miracle’s shares into tissue paper. “I ordered that, but Director Lee refused.”
As he talked about the conversion to a holding company and the offer of the CEO position of Sunyang Electronics, Oh Se-hyeon erased his anger and started to worry.
“Can this director hold out? “That guy has been involved in a lot of dirty work.”
“Is it going to be hard? Even just breach of trust, embezzlement, or bribery can result in life imprisonment. Especially since you can tie it up with a member of the National Assembly, it’s nothing short of a bonanza. In the midst of impeachment, a general election is coming soon. Director Hakjae Lee is the detonator in a powder keg. “If the prosecution starts to mess with this, there will be huge repercussions.”
“hey! by the way. What if Lee Hak-jae says he won’t die alone? “If you grab Sunyang’s ankles and ask her to die together, it’s going to backfire.”
“No. The only person this director can hold on to is not Sunyang, but Grandpa. But his grandfather passed away. It’s poisonous. “There is no one in our country who would tarnish the honor of my late grandfather.”
Oh Se-hyeon frowned, as if my calm tone of voice was strange.
“What are you thinking now? Did you warn Chief Lee Hak-jae that the prosecution was targeting you?
“no. “I have to pretend not to know.”
“what?”
“Let’s just wait and see. How far will the prosecution push Director Lee to the cliff? “It would be better to just push it off the cliff.”
Oh Se-hyeon’s eyes sparkled.
“I have to protect that guy for you, so I’m not planning on throwing him away… . Ta-da at a dramatic moment! “Are you going to appear?”
“yes. The reason the prosecution can bite Director Lee Hak-jae is because his background has disappeared. “We provide the background.”
“HW Group?”
“If you’re hanging on a cliff and you’re about to fall, if I put down a rope to catch you, what’s the point? I will take the position of Chairman of HW Group, which I stubbornly refused to hold. “I expressed my gratitude with gratitude, and I gritted my teeth with my two uncles.”
Oh Se-hyun opened his mouth.
“Hey… . This kid has become even more clever in the few months we haven’t seen each other. “I thought about all that.”
“A sturdy shield to protect the HW Group and my shares, and a sharp spear to attack my two uncles. “Wouldn’t it be a vessel capable of performing two roles?”
“That’s enough. Anyway, you are also very toxic. You know so well that you’re the kind of person who will fall into a swamp, but you just watch. “Hehe.”
“There is still a long way to go. You have to become more persistent and stronger. Doesn’t my grandfather suffer all kinds of indignities because I have no strength? I need to quickly build up my strength so that I can at least close my eyes properly underground. “If Director Lee helps, it will go faster.”
Oh Se-hyeon sighed, looking at me with a lot of energy in my eyes.
“I guess it’s wrong to go back so quickly, don’t you think?”
“It will be over quickly because my uncle is in a hurry. “Please watch Director Lee Hak-jae take office as Chairman of HW Group.”
* * *
“Director Jang. What happened? “What kind of wind did you have to contact me first?”
“How have you been? “I couldn’t even come see you at the chairman’s funeral.”
“are you okay. Many high-ranking government officials came to offer their condolences. It’s not even clear whether the chief prosecutor came or not. I assume you came and went. haha.”
Hakjae Lee smiled happily and immediately stopped. This is because Director Jang’s expression was unusual.
It seems like he’s nervous or like he’s being noticed. He must have asked to meet to talk about something difficult.
“Hey, what’s going on? My complexion is not good. Do you have any financial problems… .”
“Oh, no. Manager. I’m so shameless, how could I contact the manager first for money? “I have received a favor that I will never be able to repay in my life just by taking care of me since I was a public prosecutor.”
Director Jang hastily waved his hand.
“then?”
“I’m sorry to say this, but… . “The Central District Prosecutors’ Office and Justice Department line players are moving.”
“Ministry of Justice?”
“yes. As you know, aren’t prosecutors dispatched to the Ministry of Justice leaders who are guaranteed success? That’s why prosecutors who follow them are stationed throughout the district prosecutors’ office.”
“Except the stories we all know! who is this? “A knife wielder?”
“It seems that the head of the prosecutor’s office and the head of the criminal planning department are at the center. They are mobilizing the district prosecutors’ line to sharpen the sword… … .”
“The core is moving.”
“yes.”
“What is the target? Who are you sacrificing? “Is this really our cruiser?”
“that is… .”
Director Lee Hak-jae’s heart sank as he bowed his head and was unable to speak properly.
“me?”
Director Jang nodded his head very slightly.
Director Hakjae Lee’s fingertips also began to tremble slightly.
