The Chaebeol’s Youngest Son Chapter 248

[248]Home 1

“sorry. I have to tell you this… .”

“Oh, no. Thank you for letting me know in advance. But are you sure? “Is the Ministry of Justice moving to catch me?”

“yes. There is a fellow trainee of mine at the Southern District Prosecutors’ Office. I was contacted by a senior from the Ministry of Justice and he was perplexed. “It was a secret order to report directly and not to the higher-ups at the Southern District Prosecutors’ Office.”

The chief prosecutor was not mistaken. This is a fact that came from the mouth of a person who received direct instructions.

All kinds of thoughts were swirling in my head.

Was the person who should be sacrificed in the impeachment situation related to him?

Are the prosecution trying to tame lawmakers in order to lead the general election trend? Did you choose yourself as a tool to train lawmakers?

I shook my head.

Now we need to find out who first, not why.

“Director Jang. “Do you not know who the superiors who gave this order were?”

“sorry. I can’t figure it out that far. “Since the Ministry of Justice’s Inspector General has started, the highest level of authority that can be known at present is the Director of the Inspector General.”

Is the inspector general messing with himself?

Absolutely not.

Only at the level of the Minister of Justice or the Prosecutor General can they target Sunyang’s second-in-command.

“What are you sorry about? Anyway, thank you. I will never forget this. “Let’s have a glass of soju sometime.”

Hakjae Lee hurriedly stood up.

You must quickly find the sword pointed at you and the man holding the hilt.

As soon as I parted ways with Director Jang, I picked up my cell phone.

“Gather together immediately. No one is exception. meeting room… . Oh, no. Come outside. You know the Japanese restaurant in Gwanghwamun? “It’s in thirty minutes.”

Lee Hak-jae got into the waiting car and shouted at the driver.

“Gwanghwamun. “We have to arrive within 30 minutes.”

“yes.”

Hakjae Lee’s sedan ran from Seocho-dong to Gwanghwamun.

As I opened the door to the Japanese restaurant and entered, the owner greeted me warmly.

“welcome. “Director.”

“The kids are here, right?”

“yes. Come this way… .”

When I walked quickly into the separate room, my eyes were dark.

As if he had committed a crime, the three men were waiting for Lee Hak-jae without making eye contact.

I’m almost embarrassed that I used the plural form of ‘kids’ when I came in. Just three.

“Let’s sit down. And look straight into my eyes. Are you guilty?”

When they quietly sat down on the chairs, Lee Hak-jae took a sip of the cold water.

“What about the other kids? Did you not come because you didn’t know? Or do you know but didn’t come?”

“We talked about it first, but… .”

“You don’t want to come out because you are not a superior?”

“Oh, no. Manager. “She said she was going to get out because she noticed.”

“Pay attention… … .”

It is true that I feel sorry for those who did not attend this event. But didn’t he let them go himself? Since they were great talents, I even asked them to take them in and use them seriously.

Hakjae Lee sighed without even realizing it.

I understand.

You may have thought that they were a privileged group who wielded tremendous power under them, but they were salaried workers anyway.

You have to follow the orders of the person who gives you a large salary every month and pay attention to them. Wouldn’t that lead to a raise in salary and promotion?

Now the person you need to pay attention to has changed.

Jinyoung and vibrator are their masters.

Since it hasn’t been long since you moved, it’s going to be a bit of a surprise.

When only three people came running to one phone call, Lee Hak-jae realized that he was the wave that had flowed.

“Chief… .”

The guys who kept their loyalty also had red eyes as if they felt sorry for Lee Hak-jae, who had a miserable expression on his face.

“You bastards! Are you crazy? What are you doing now? “Are you sure you pity me?”

“Oh, no.”

Hakjae Lee screamed and stood up.

“I have no intention of criticizing those who are not here. They made a wise choice. I was stupid for calling them out like before, but you guys were stupid too. “I’m not your boss anymore, so there was no need to come out.”

Hakjae Lee opened his wallet and placed a check worth one million won on the table.

“Just grab some food and go.”

Lee Hak-jae walked out, ignoring the eyes looking at him.

The night wind in early March was still bitter.

“f*ck… . “Let’s start after the 49th anniversary.”

* * *

“older brother. This is not unusual. “There are rumors going around that we have secured enough evidence to warrant an arrest warrant.”

“Chief. I’m sorry, but I can’t help you. The people who drew their swords now are the prosecution’s core line. “There are countless prosecutors who will attack these guys at any cost.”

“Would you rather go abroad for a while? It may be for the general election, so come in when things quiet down after the election. “It’s three months at most.”

Director Hakjae Lee was busy taking a step back from everyone he met.

“Chief. The Blue House is in disarray right now. Impeachment must be prevented. In times like this, if you call the Ministry of Justice or the prosecution, you will face a lot of backlash. sorry. “We will first put out the fire at our feet and contact you.”

Even the Blue House, which was the last one to look forward to, turned a blind eye. Considering that they are in a more difficult situation than you, it is natural that you cannot help them.

Hakjae Lee loaded his exhausted body into the car.

“Go home.”

Not long after the car started, the driver kept glancing in the rear-view mirror and it became annoying.

“hey. what are you doing? “Why do you keep glancing at me?”

“Oh, that’s not it. There’s something that’s been bothering me for a few days now. “It seems like they are following me.”

“tailing?”

I turned my head and looked behind me, but there was no way to tell which of the cars crowded the road was which.

“These really are!”

Hakjae Lee took out his cell phone. I’ve been patient, but now there’s no way. It may lead to an all-out war, but the time has come to hit the other side. First, we need to address the Minister of Justice, who is clearly following the instructions of his head.

I was a little hesitant, but eventually pressed the number.

When the signal was almost over, the other person answered the phone.

― Oh my, manager. It has escalated so far.

“Minister. I’ll skip the greetings. “I can’t afford that.”

– yes? Ah, that’s right. Chairman, you must have been going through a lot of mental and physical hardship while holding the funeral.

“You know everything, but you act like a fool. I won’t talk too much. “Stop.”

– yes? There is no bottom or end, what is that… ?

“If you truly don’t know, it means you can’t cooperate with the Director of Inspection, and if you’re playing it off, I think you understand what I’m saying.”

– The inspector general?

“Be careful. If I open my mouth, my story will spread bigger than the impeachment of the President. If you can handle it, go ahead.”

Lee Hak-jae, who hung up the phone first, gritted his teeth. If you throw this much bait, the guy holding the hilt, not the blade, will reveal his face.

However, the hilts of the swords appeared before the person holding them. Of course, the location was in front of Lee Hak-jae’s house.

“Mr. Hakjae Lee. “I’m sorry I’m late at night, but please excuse me for a moment.”

Two men in suits and one man in a jumper.

Hakjae Lee was shocked.

The Minister of Justice’s quick actions were not expected at all.

“Where did it come from?”

“This is the Financial Investigation Department of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office.”

“Did the minister send it?”

“Minister, I only see you on TV. “We, rank-and-file prosecutors, just follow the director’s instructions.”

“Random companionship?”

The two prosecutors said with a grin.

“You know very well, so I won’t say anything. “Let’s go for a moment.”

There is no way the Minister of Justice does not know that he is a person who will not be taken away easily and cannot be. He must have followed up too. Hakjae Lee wanted to know that.

“What if you don’t like it?”

“A warrant judge is on standby. If Hakjae Lee just goes into the house right now, a search warrant will be issued. “The house is going to be a disaster. Are you okay?”

“We are also preparing an arrest warrant. A photographer is waiting at the prosecutor’s office. Can you afford it?”

The Minister of Justice’s clear warning came from the mouths of rank and file prosecutors.

He says back exactly what he said.

Lee Hak-jae, who was glaring at the two rank prosecutors, slowly opened his mouth.

“After I got off work, I got home earlier. “If I can finish before midnight, I’ll follow along.”

“Just a brief matter. “I promise.”

“You must keep that promise. Otherwise, you will see with your own eyes that the Prosecutor General’s slush fund account number is featured on the top of tomorrow’s newspaper.”

The Prosecutor General’s slush fund.

The shock of these words made the two prosecutors freeze like ice.

“What are you doing? Get directions quickly. Did you say it? “We have to finish before midnight.”

Director Lee Hak-jae shouted at the prosecutors as if they were subordinates.

* * *

I sat in the Central District Prosecutor’s Office interrogation room, drank a glass of water, and waited for a while.

It’s an obvious tactic, but it always works.

It’s especially hard to bear that nervousness when you don’t know why you were dragged in.

He obediently came to hear why the Ministry of Justice had cornered him, but he couldn’t help but feel anxious as time passed while he was sitting alone.

The man who opened the door to the interrogation room looked familiar.

“hello? “Director.”

“I’m not saying hello. however… . Who was it? Have you ever met him?”

“I met you once at a dinner with the president. “I said hello, but it wasn’t enough for the manager to remember.”

The business card he held out had the name Criminal Planning Division, Prosecutors’ Office, Ministry of Justice stamped on it.

“Prosecution Bureau? “They said the Inspection Bureau stepped in, but now they’ve mobilized the Prosecutors’ Office as well?”

“Rather than a specific department, everyone stepped up here and there. “Can I say it’s some kind of TFT?”

“Has my situation fallen to this level? To the extent that a manager who is not even a director sits in front of me?”

“Isn’t there a saying that if you leave home, you’re in trouble?”

What if I leave home?

It may have simply been an expression of losing strength because the strings of the cruiser fell off, but strangely enough, the word home seemed heavy to me.

“One thing is clear: the Chairman’s sons and wives are condoning or sympathizing with this.”

“If Sunyang is not a charity, there is no reason to take care of retired workers. Don’t ask any more. “I don’t know the inside story of Sun Yang.”

“Then just tell me what you know.”

The head of the criminal planning department placed several documents on the table.

“In the name of the manager’s children, there is a penthouse in Hong Kong, a 15-story building in Seattle, USA, and a winery on the outskirts of France… . This refers to a brewery. This is the first time I found out about it. When I heard it was a winery, I thought it was something like a wine storage refrigerator. Anyway, since this is the only known wealth, if we dig deeper, overseas accounts will come pouring in, right?”

“Let it pour out and then talk about it. And for overseas real estate, you only have to pay inheritance tax… . Is there anything else?”

“It’s not something that ends with inheritance tax. The money was embezzled through Sunyang’s overseas corporations, so you must also consider the Foreign Exchange Management Act and embezzlement issues. Since you know how to avoid the law, you also know that an amount like this is a serious crime, right?”

Now that you know what the card on the other side is, you need to sneak a peek at the card on this side.

“If you’re thinking of putting me on the photo line at the Prosecutor’s Office, then stop. Your bosses know what I’m going to say to the photo line reporters. Reporters are probably more interested in what comes out of my mouth than in overseas real estate, right?”

The planning manager shrugged his shoulders with an exaggerated expression.

“You’re being rude. I know you have no intention of pushing it into an expose war anyway. “I’m sure you can bear with it if you get hurt, but it’s like you’re trashing not only the Sunyang Group but also the grave of the late Chairman Jin, so do you really want to do that?”

“We’ll just have to wait and see whether it’s a lie or not… … .”

The cards threatening the opponent were confirmed by each other.

At this point, you should also check how to fold the plate. It all started with swordsmen, so we must listen to their demands.

“If you’ve teased me this much, it’s time to tell me what you really want. “Didn’t you bring me here to tell you that?”

As the planning manager scratched his head and hesitated, the door opened and a middle-aged man came in.

“Stop struggling and go back home. “Director.”
