[Suspicions of prosecutor Jeong Ji-eun’s unfair passing of the exam, Central District Prosecutors’ Office Chief Prosecutor Jeong Jung-heon remains silent.]
[Interviewer bribery, over-packaging of submitted materials. Is the key the Chief Prosecutor Jeong Joong-heon?]
Articles pouring out one after another faster than Kang Hyun’s steps as he walks to the Central District Prosecutors’ Office.
He took a deep breath and tried not to waver.
The following sequence naturally occurred to me.
‘Any place that can be stimulated will move.’
In line with the media’s movements that are making a fuss about a nuclear bomb being dropped on the prosecution, the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office will bow its head and declare a strict investigation with the Public Security Department and the Inspectorate. The political world can even play the special prosecutor card, targeting corruption and irregularities in the prosecution organization.
‘If it’s true.’
At the same time, public opinion criticizing them is growing. This is leading to uncontrollable results.
It hasn’t even been twenty minutes since the news broke. Only the parties involved will know the full story of the incident and the circumstances.
Therefore, it was a mistake to pass over the information. Kang Hyun quickly headed to his destination alone.
‘I thought I had organized the media well, but was it a mistake?’
No matter how positive Kang Hyun’s image to the public was and how good his relationship with the media was, the media could not have left such a fascinating suspicion alone.
Using Jeong Ji-eun as bait, they tied up Jeong Joong-heon, who could be said to be the second-highest ranking official in the prosecution organization under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office.
Wang Nam-ryong was a greater figure than expected, and this was an unexpected counterattack and a political offensive beyond Kang Hyeon’s imagination.
‘The first thing to do is to confirm the truth.’
Knock knock!
“Senior!”
Kang Hyun opened the door to find the head of the first department, Jeong Ji-eun, but the seat was empty.
There was no reason to leave the office as the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office audit had been canceled and the entire trial department was back and gearing up, but he did so.
“Oh, hello!”
“Where did the first division chief go?”
“… Didn’t you see it? As soon as you saw the article, you used long-term sick leave.”
“… .”
slap!
Kang Hyun rose like a swarm of bees and moved, leaving behind the 1st Department Annex staff who didn’t know what to do.
Break room, manager’s office, dining room.
I looked around to see if she might still be somewhere in the prosecutor’s office, but I couldn’t find Jeong Ji-eun.
Tiring.
-The phone is off, so it’s going to voicemail… .
Kang Hyun hurriedly tried to call the phone, but when he saw that it was off, he stood in the middle of the prosecutor’s office for a moment.
‘…if?’
Usually, if the person you are looking for disappears and you cannot contact them, worry comes first.
Even if the media is flooded with articles about bad things.
But Kang Hyun remained calm and lost in thought.
‘It’s too fast.’
As if he had been prepared, he immediately hid himself and disappeared.
‘Didn’t you know this would happen?’
And then he slowly raised his head and turned his gaze to the highest point of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office.
Chief Prosecutor Jeong Joong-heon.
Kang Hyun moved his steps even faster and headed upstairs in one stride.
The staff was gathered in the spacious office of the prosecutor’s office. There were quite a few people gathered, including the secretary, the administrative officer driving the first car, and the working-level officer.
“What should I do…?”
“Are you okay…?”
It was already a well-known fact among those in the know that Jeong Jung-heon and Jeong Ji-eun were father and daughter.
However, they were respected and not criticized behind their backs. The reason why the two of them are a family is because of their outstanding skills, no matter what anyone says.
However, if we start an all-out offensive by moving the media in this way and spreading various suspicions, internal perceptions will be shaken and it will be difficult to deal with them, regardless of whether they are true or not.
However, Kang Hyun was feeling more and more at ease.
‘Phew, it’s a good thing I had anticipated this might happen.’
It disappeared in an instant. It must have been built as a countermeasure.
It’s not an impulse. It means you thought and acted.
As evidence of that.
Broadway!
A sight I’ve never seen before.
A peaceful, sunny and spacious examination room.
There are people enjoying cold coffee with ice cubes floating in it.
Acting Prosecutor General Do Jin-guk.
Do Jin-guk, the first deputy chief of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office, was sitting leisurely in his seat in place of the chief prosecutor.
Even Jeong Jung-heon disappeared naturally, as if he had planned everything just like Jeong Ji-eun.
Kang Hyun let out a small sigh and slowly approached him.
* * *
“The spokesperson’s office has now officially announced that they are considering immediately removing Jung Joong-heon and Jung Ji-eun from their positions. Should we immediately publish the article?”
“Okay. From now on, I’ll judge based on your movements. You guys worked hard too.”
The chief secretary of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’s Airborne Division and the chief in charge of the office of the chief prosecutor bowed their heads, and Chief Wang Nam-ryong extended his hand with a somewhat indifferent expression.
The two of them bowed their heads 90 degrees as if they were embarrassed and each took the hand he held out.
To them, Wang Nam-ryong is the one who will take the position of the next Chief Prosecutor of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office or the Chief Prosecutor of one of the six High Prosecutors’ Offices, the position just before the Prosecutor General.
Or someone who has the potential to be selected as the next president right away. Because he is that kind of person.
“It seems that First Vice Minister Do Jin-guk will readily accept the position of Acting Prosecutor General.”
“Of course. He’s a guy who cheats and betrays as easily as eating rice. Would he just pass by the beans that fell in front of him?”
“Haha, as expected, you have great insight.”
Regarding the irregular audit of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office, the position of Chief Prosecutor was given to a bastard named Do Jin-guk, who was known for ‘cutting off the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’s tail’.
Wang Nam-ryong was still in a position where he really did not want to put Do Jin-guk in the category of people he could trust, but since the trend was like that, he had no choice but to act and he bit the bait.
So, in the end, the matter is settled. For Jeong Jung-heon and Do Jin-guk.
“Then you go.”
“Thank you. This is Chief Nam Tae-woo. Please take care of me.”
“Yes, Manager Nam.”
The staff member of the office of the chief prosecutor who had been working hard on media control and communication with the Central District Prosecutors’ Office bowed his head and stepped down. He bowed his head while reciting his own name once again, but Wang Nam-ryong will not remember him.
Simply put, he is one of the traitors who sold out the Central District Prosecutors’ Office and is no different from a traitor to the other side.
As he left, the secretary of the Air Force Chief of Staff gave a cautious warning.
“The Central District Court contacted me cautiously. They asked what I should do.”
“courthouse?”
“Yes. I know the situation… In this case, at Kang Hyun’s request, the court has summoned the manager as a witness.”
As Wang Nam-ryong just looked at him, the secretary began to ramble on with a stern expression.
Then Wang Nam-ryong’s mouth fell open. It was a different voice and tone than before.
“You called me?”
“That’s not all. Kang and Kang-hyun are trying to expand the case and put the chief in the defendant’s seat.”
“what?”
“They say they took the records of case 3500 of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office from there.”
“… Now, what does that mean?”
“It seems like they’re trying to create a ‘torture incident’ out of that.”
“You’re raising it?”
“I’ll just tell you to respond appropriately…”
“Tell me?”
Wang Nam-ryong, who had been repeating his words several times expressionlessly, suddenly got up from his seat and approached the secretary.
“What are you doing?”
“… Yes. I think I misunderstood the instructions… Then what should I do…?”
puck!
“Ugh!”
The secretary fell over when the large Wang Nam-ryong kicked him. Wang Nam-ryong immediately walked to the opposite side, picked up a golf club, and suddenly started beating him indiscriminately.
puck!
“Ugh!”
There was time to stand up and protest, but the secretary couldn’t do it. He knew that if he didn’t stay still, he would get into trouble with him.
“That crazy kid.”
puck!
In the past, during the days of the Public Security Bureau, the devil Wang Namryong.
Anyone who knew his reputation could not help but fear him.
Thud, thud!
“Who told whom to speak, and who asked whom to speak!”
“I’m sorry. That’s, I got the point, well…!”
Thud! Thud!
“Do I have any connection to the court?”
“doesn’t exist!”
puck!
“Am I related to ‘that incident’?”
“Not at all, not at all! Ugh!”
Thud, thud!
“Torture? What is torture?”
“It’s nothing! I’m sorry!”
puck!
“But why should we care about that? Why should I tell the court what I think about the damn ‘case’?”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! The court was so, so earnest….”
“Stop talking nonsense and keep your mouth shut! Keep your mouth shut! Keep your mouth shut, you damn fool! Whether it’s the court or the police, don’t respond and just take official action!”
puck!
“Okay, I understand. Sorry!”
“Damn it! If the court sent all the staff members of the Public Security Bureau overseas as they wanted, and if even Deputy Director Do was cleared out, then there shouldn’t be a problem with the court! Why are you asking me what to do, giving me all those records and asking me what to do, those bastards!”
Bam! Clang!
“go away!”
The stick flew away, and the secretary stumbled backwards, his head hanging low to the ground.
Wang Nam-ryong sat down immediately, as if he was filled with anger, and put a cigarette in his mouth.
‘Kang Hyun is writing a book.’
“after.”
It is said that Kang Hyun took the ‘case records’ related to the kidnapping and torture of Prosecutor Brother No. 3500 Song Du-seung, which were hidden in the court.
There, the name of Bae Seong-shin, the former chief of the Public Security Bureau, and his own name, who was a prosecutor in the department, were barely erased.
If you just use your head a little, you can probably guess that you are involved in the incident based on the circumstances.
“This is going crazy.”
If so, the order was set. Kang Hyun would bring himself to court and try to negotiate.
Tirik.
“I need to get ready to go out to testify… Script? What script? Just have the car wait.”
Still excited, he picked up the phone and made a call.
That’s right. He had no intention of jumping off this moving carriage.
“Running away is something only little kids do.”
He had to kill the troublemaker so that he could not trouble himself again, and continue his work to rise to the top.
“Whew,” he exhaled, his head feeling dizzy. He took another drag.
I didn’t want to believe it, but it was to vent my feelings of wanting to avoid the moment of final battle that was approaching me, even if only for a moment.

[Daily Situation Report – Prosecutor Jeong Ji-eun on long-term sick leave. Trial Divisions 1 and 5 scheduled to be closed (tentative). All employees to return to their regular positions.]
The senior that Ahn Ji-won respects the most is Jeong Ji-eun, head of the 1st Trial Division of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office.
As unbelievable articles poured out, all the news columns were filled with suspicions that went beyond imagination.
With a natural and sincere belief, she pushed through the work and left the place.
It was to protest against the prosecutor’s office.
Do anything.
It was to shout out to fight and resist.
“No response, no response is not acceptable.”
First of all, that’s impossible. She passed the bar exam with the highest score with skills comparable to those in the top class of law schools, and became a prosecutor thanks to her father’s help?
However, the Central District Prosecutors’ Office has not made any official statement and has not even posted the usual rebuttal article.
Rather, the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office is responding in a way that adds fuel to the fire by considering removing from their positions Prosecutor General Jeong Joong-heon and Chief Prosecutor of the First Trial Division Jeong Ji-eun of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office.
If things continue like this, even things that never happened will turn into things that happened.
“Huh? Inspector, you shouldn’t come here.”
“I have something important to report to you directly.”
“You know the current situation, right… Inspector? Inspector!”
Her eyes widened as she walked quickly towards the top floor of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office.
There are those who block it, but there is no place in the prosecutor’s office that you cannot go with your prosecutor’s ID.
They only stopped her with their mouths wide open, but they failed to take away the identification card of prosecutor Ahn Ji-won of the 5th trial division.
[Central District Prosecutors’ Office – Office]
“Inspector! It’s not possible right now! Inspector!”
An employee of the annex came to the door of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office and stood in front of it, extending his arm to block its entry. However, Ahn Ji-won pushed him away and forcefully opened the door.
Broadway!
But, at that moment.
“Why here?”
“… .”
As soon as Ahn Ji-won opened the door to the prosecutor’s office, the person who jumped out at the same time was Kang Hyeon.
This time, An Ji-won’s entry was blocked because of that.
Kang Hyun looking at her with a kind and harmless expression.
An Ji-won, who saw him as if he could comfort her right away, gave up on what she was going to do and just watched.
