Episode 100

“A better idea? What the… … all of a sudden.”

“Even if there is evidence, this is Korea anyway and there is no way to punish them. If Ling Weiya goes to China, that’s the end of it, and Hwang Min-guk is not a person belonging to this side either.”

There is no evidence whatsoever that Ling Wei was involved in this matter in the first place.

Of course, there is 100% evidence that Hwang Min-guk is closely related to Ling Wei, but at least there is no evidence that would lead to him being punished.

Hwang Min-guk also has a situation like that, but since he has already decided to go to China, he won’t be hit too hard.

If a series of procedures had to be followed to punish them, it was obvious that Jang Su-gang and Kim Pil-yeong would end up taking all the blame.

In any case, those two people are the ones who directly committed the crime.

“But we can’t just let this go, can we? We’re going to have to open our eyes and have the program taken away. Even if we can’t get punished, we need to hear those bastards admit it themselves. Who is the owner of this program, and how dirty they’ve been!”

“Would that make you feel better? Would you be satisfied with just that?”

“… … What did you say?”

Heeseong spoke to Hong Minjoong, who was glaring with his forehead furrowed.

“You said that earlier. Ling Wei is a guy who would not be satisfied even if he were torn to pieces. You still have a grudge against him for not being able to see your father die because of him. Isn’t that right?”

Because of this, Hong Min-jung loses his senses and ends up assaulting Ling Wei.

Because of that, he ended up in jail and everything went wrong.

At least that was the case in the original future that Heesung saw.

“What I mean is, if we’re going to turn the tables, let’s do it properly. Do you think he’ll be freed just by finding the program? After all, we were the original owners?”

From planning to collaboration proposals, this program was created entirely in Korea.

It’s just something that was taken directly from China.

How can it be refreshing to be able to come back again?

This wouldn’t have happened even if I hadn’t been treated like a blind person from the beginning.

Hong Min-joong seemed to have changed his mind after hearing Hee-sung’s story, so he turned his body again and looked at Hee-sung.

“Then what are we going to do? These guys will leave Korea tomorrow, and once they leave, there’s nothing we can do. Even if we chase them to China, it’s obvious that we’ll be the ones who get hurt in the end.”

Ling Wei’s father is a member of the Chinese Communist Party leadership.

For that reason, Hong Min-jung, who went to question Ling Wei, was arrested by the police and detained for three days even though he had not committed any violent act.

So, if we don’t see a conclusion while they are in Korea, we have no chance of winning.

“Yes, of course. PD-nim also knows exactly where Ling Wei is staying.”

“Yes, room 812 at the S Hotel. I made the reservation with my own money and even helped you check in.”

“Do you know any journalists by any chance? The bigger the media outlet, the better.”

Hong Min-jung laughed, saying, “Isn’t that obvious?”

“If you are a journalist, there are more than a hundred names in the business card box. You can connect directly to the journalist you want at the media outlet you want.”

“Good. I think we need to borrow some of the reporters’ power, whether it’s digging into the group chat or calling them one by one. This kind of thing requires a large-scale media play to ensure that it’s never buried.”

Hong Min-jung asked back, as if he was frustrated.

“Please explain to me in a way that I can understand, Manager. What exactly are you planning to do?”

Heeseong opened his lips to reveal his plan.

Then, after confirming the presence of Jang Su-gang and Kim Pil-yeong in front of him, he closed his mouth again and pointed towards the entrance.

“Let’s go outside for a moment and share. And take your cell phone with you just in case.”

They know too, that now that everything has come to light, there is absolutely no forgiveness possible.

So, if I spoke carelessly here, it might reach their ears.

Because if you have no other choice, you may end up choosing to stick with them again.

After coming out of the conference room, Heeseong asked.

“Don’t you want revenge on Ling Wei more than on Hwang Min-guk?”

“Of course. Senior Hwang… … No, Hwang Min-guk, that guy is not worth dealing with. He was the one who got kicked out of MBS because he received bribes from the agencies. He thinks I’m the one who reported that. In reality, everyone knew that except him.”

“Bankruptcy? Isn’t that what PD-nim reported you to?”

“Why would I do something like that? It’s an age-old truth that a long tail will eventually be stepped on. I just didn’t know that the higher-ups already knew this, and I was just holding out. But after the fight between us, it all blew up, so I thought it was my doing. I didn’t even want to make excuses, so I just stopped.”

As expected, there was something more.

I didn’t think he’d do something like this just because he got the job.

Heeseong said, nodding his head.

“Okay. Then let’s return what we received. Let Ling Wei suffer the same humiliation that PD-nim suffered when he went to China.”

“Shame? What is that… … .”

“You said that when you went to investigate the first plagiarism, you were held captive by the Chinese government for three days? First, let’s repay that in kind. At that time, it was China, and now it’s Korea.”

Hong Min-jung nodded his head, rolling his eyes.

“Does that mean we should imprison him… …? In a detention center?”

“It doesn’t matter whether it’s a detention center or a lockup. What’s important is what happens afterward.”

“What is that… … .”

Heeseong explained the thoughts in his head one by one.

Of course, it wasn’t something I had planned from the beginning. It was just an idea that came to me spontaneously after I figured out all the details.

Hong Min-jung opened his mouth wide after hearing Hee-seong’s story.

“Yes? Manager… … Isn’t that too dangerous an idea? No, aside from that, is that even possible in the first place?”

“When you say possible, what do you mean? Are you talking about putting handcuffs on his wrists as part of an entrapment investigation, or are you talking about dragging him to China and making him live like a dead rat for the rest of his life?”

Hong Min-jung immediately opened his mouth, saying, “Isn’t that obvious?”

“Of course, both. As far as I know, entrapment investigations are illegal, but what if they backfire? Then, not only me, but also you, the manager, will be in a very difficult situation. In the worst case scenario, we, not that Ling Wei, might end up in the detention center.”

Heesung’s plan was to conduct a drug-assisted sting operation.

In the case of drugs, if you are arrested at the scene, you will be taken straight to a detention center and most of the time you will be subject to detention and investigation, so you can repay what Hong Min-jung suffered.

Of course, I didn’t come up with this idea just for that reason.

“Of course, that’s true in general cases, but I heard that the scope of entrapment investigations allowed in cases like drugs is quite wide. Since the crimes and transactions themselves are often carried out secretly and arrests are not easy. I heard that it’s common to hide your identity and contact the criminal or deceive them into acting as a salesperson.”

At those words, Hong Min-jung let out a breath.

“Let’s assume that’s true. But they’re not actually using drugs, right? So even if we put them in handcuffs as part of a sting operation, they’ll just be released right away.”

“I guess so. But what’s important to us isn’t the number of days they’re in custody. What’s important is the fact that they were arrested for drugs.”

“Yes… … ? What do you mean… … ?”

Heeseong continued speaking with a faint smile.

“Producer, you probably know that China is quite strict when it comes to drugs. You know that you can even be sentenced to death, right?”

“Why don’t you know that? There are cases of Koreans being executed in China for drug-related reasons.”

“You said that Ling Wei’s father was a member of the Chinese Communist Party leadership, right? What would happen if it was revealed that his son was arrested in Korea for drug trafficking? Wouldn’t the whole country be in an uproar?”

Even in a country like ours where there are multiple political parties, if a member of the National Assembly’s child uses drugs, it becomes a big story.

In reality, cases of children of conglomerates and politicians using drugs occur frequently.

It is obvious what would happen if, in a communist country like China, the son of a party leader were arrested for drug-related reasons.

But if something like that happened in a foreign country, it might be viewed as even more outrageous.

It didn’t really matter whether I did drugs or not.

“The important thing is the fact that he was involved in such a thing. That alone would put Ling Wei in a very difficult situation. He would be second to none and would be putting his father in a bad light. No matter how the truth is revealed later, his father will not stay still, right?”

“Then, what you were talking about with the reporters earlier… … .”

“We have to make it known as much as possible so that it can spread to that vast continent. It’s a pretty good story, isn’t it? The son of a Communist Party leader came to Korea and was arrested for drug-related reasons. That alone will give the reporters a lot of flesh and wings. Make it more sensational and shocking so that it can spread to China.”

In this case, the people you can trust 100% are reporters.

They are true experts in that field.

Hong Min-jung bit his lips with a look of half worry and half curiosity.

If everything went as planned, it would be even more satisfying, but there were still question marks over whether it was realistically possible.

If that happens, we will never hear the name Ring Way on this earth again.

Hong Min-joong asked Hee-seong cautiously, rubbing his chin.

“Do you have a specific plan…? Whether it’s entrapment investigation or something else, you need to have connections in that area….”

Of course. The entrapment investigation itself is something that only the investigative agency or its associates can do.

Heeseong nodded, slightly raising the corners of his lips.

Then he took out his phone and started looking for someone’s number.

After pressing the call button, I heard the other person’s voice a moment later and greeted him happily.

“It’s been a while, Mr. Choi. Is ‘Ildeung Detective Agency’ still going well?”
