◈ Episode 244: Counterattack of the Counterattack (2)

There was no reason to bring a lawyer along, so Nam Woon-myung went to the prosecutor’s office alone.

It is unclear whether it was a plot by the North or the prosecution’s intention, but reporters from media outlets were swarming in front of the building.

It may be intended to embarrass him, but this is actually what he wanted.

Nam Yun-myeong got out of the car, smiled, and waved.

The reporters flashed their cameras and asked questions as if they were amazed.

“Are you Nam Woon-myeong, the director of Mega Asset Management?”

Since it was his first time appearing in public, no one knew his face.

“But?”

“You have now appeared before the prosecution on various charges including tax evasion, but you show no sign of remorse at all?”

“There must be something wrong.”

“But aren’t you afraid of being called to the prosecutor’s office?”

“Only criminals are afraid of the prosecution. Good people like me are not afraid of the prosecution.”

“You don’t recognize the agreement?”

“I don’t even know what the charges are?”

The reporters were speechless.

As Nam Woon-myung continued to talk nonsense, prosecutors came out and hastily separated him from the reporters.

Nam Yun-myeong entered the building, waving his hand leisurely.

As I was sitting in what looked like an interrogation room, a familiar face came in.

This is Manager Lee Dong-jae who delivered the summons to them that day.

As soon as he saw him, he seemed very upset and spoke to him informally.

“Nam Woon Myung! What are you doing?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Shouldn’t you bow your head and show self-reflection in front of the media?”

“Why are you sleeping when you didn’t do anything wrong?”

“You still haven’t come to your senses. I already told you from above to investigate you as a suspect and arrest you once the investigation is over!”

“Let’s do that.”

Nam Yun-myeong answered nonchalantly.

“Let’s see how long that attitude lasts. He’s the kind of guy who’ll shed tears in prison.”

Lee Dong-jae ordered a load test and brought the relevant documents.

Looking at it roughly, the file only had a few pages.

Lee Dong-jae chuckled as he turned the first page.

“It’s obvious from the beginning. You said you bought a house in the middle of Gangnam last year… There’s no record of you earning money until then with the National Tax Service. How did you buy it? Who gave it to you as a gift? Did you pay taxes on it? In my opinion, this is definitely tax evasion.”

“I’ve never received a gift before.”

“You little punk! Where are you lying? Is the Gangnam apartment worth a few pennies? If you didn’t receive a gift… then you’re saying you won the lottery?”

Lee Dong-jae glared. His years of experience as a prosecutor were evident in his threatening behavior.

“I won the lottery?”

“Yeah, a donation… huh? Lotto?”

“I won first prize and bought an apartment with the money left over after paying taxes?”

Lee Dong-jae furrowed his eyebrows as if he was dumbfounded.

“Ha! Shit! What a damn lucky guy. But these days, it’s not easy to buy an apartment in Gangnam with just first place! I’m sure he got the money from somewhere else.”

“There were two first place winners?”

“Two, two?”

Lee Dong-jae couldn’t close his mouth. The rare lottery first prize winner was right in front of him.

“Did this kid save the country in his past life?”

Lee Dong-jae, speechless, looked through the documents again.

“That, but it makes absolutely no sense that he invested that much money in Mega Asset Management. How did he earn that much money in just six months after joining the company? He either embezzled money internally or was involved in a scheme! He’s definitely an economic criminal. Let’s see… Buy Namhae Machinery Precision’s CB….”

Lee Dong-jae listed his resume in detail.

“Does this make sense? Every time you do something, tens or hundreds of billions drop? And in a short period of time? Isn’t this manipulation?”

“It’s disappointing to see a capable person belittled like that. Do you know what Namhae Machinery Processing’s stock price is right now?”

Namhae Machine Processing’s stock price continued to rise after going public, more than doubling.

As orders for ships are brisk, and Saudi Arabia’s wealthy city has one foot in it, Daehan Shipbuilding, which acquired the stock, hit the jackpot, and Bae Joo-hyun’s position has also become solid.

“Hmm, it was a company that kept rising. Lucky guy! Then the other guy, Wooyoung Industry acquisition? What’s this? How did you sell it to C&C Fashion Group in such a short period of time? Are you a gangster? Did you threaten them?”

“Isn’t that the one that saved the fashion brand called Goldgate? Check out the stock price for that too.”

Lee Dong-jae continued to bite and hang on to them one by one.

Surprisingly, all the businesses he invested in were huge hits. Lee Dong-jae was speechless.

“What is this… T-T, it’s the God of Investment!”

“To be precise, he is the god of mergers and acquisitions and the god of corporate raiding. We are a private equity fund.”

“Hey, could you please… lend me some money too?”

If you are not impressed by the investment history of Mega Asset Management, then you are a person who lacks the will to make money.

“How much do you have?”

“Tongue, cash, two billion…….”

“We don’t accept anything less than 10 billion. Don’t you know that private equity funds have 49 investors?”

“Well, still…….”

“But, sir, how much is your salary as a prosecutor? How did you save 2 billion won at that age? You must have a separate house. Isn’t that suspicious?”

“That, that is…….”

Lee Dong-jae suddenly shut his mouth.

“Let’s put the noise aside and check out the outside world.”

“Do you know that this is a private office?”

“Hey, you’re curious too, aren’t you, Mr. Inspector? Turn on the news. I’m going crazy wondering how the scene of me appearing in court this morning was reported.”

Lee Dong-jae sighed at Nam Woon-myung’s humor, but he was also very curious.

Lee Dong-jae frowned as he turned on the news on the TV hanging on the wall.

“What is this?”

“Will the Korea Asset Management Consortium Establish a Comprehensive Media Group?” According to Warner Bros. Discovery, it is reviewing a comprehensive cable channel service in Korea in cooperation with Korea Asset Management.

This comprehensive media group is said to be planning to acquire and reorganize domestic cable broadcasters. If the plan goes as planned, a new giant representing domestic media will be born… … .

“Are domestic broadcasters and media companies shaking? If the comprehensive media group promoted by Korea Asset Management and Warner Bros. Discovery becomes visible, existing media companies will face a survival crisis.

While the companies that received acquisitions and investments from Korea Asset Management are growing, the companies on the other side are bound to struggle. Domestic media companies are feeling complicated about the birth of a dinosaur company. It is clear that this investment will accelerate the development of the domestic media industry, but… … .

Lee Dong-jae asked Nam Woon-myeong.

“What are you talking about? You’re suddenly establishing a media group?”

“Haven’t the rags been too loud all this time? We also need to modernize our media now.”

“What is that…….”

Lee Dong-jae quickly confirmed the news of Nam Woon-myeong’s appearance at the prosecution.

Compared to the time of Park Won-tae, many more reporters showed up and the prosecution brought more specific charges. However, most media outlets only covered it briefly in one or two lines or did not report it at all.

Some media outlets even heavily edited Nam Un-myeong’s remarks and reported them as if the prosecution was harassing an innocent person.

Nam Woon-myung said with a sly smile.

“Would a newspaper company dare to report on this? They have to keep an eye on the general media group first. If they get caught for no reason and don’t receive any investment, the company could go out of business.”

“Ugh!”

Only then did Lee Dong-jae realize the intention behind establishing a comprehensive media group.

“This is a scam! A scam!”

“Whether it’s a fraud or something else, the media is protecting itself. How can they dare to go against Korea Asset Management and Mega Asset Management? How are they going to deal with it later if they publish false articles?”

“This is ridiculous.”

“Prosecutor, you should have properly identified who it was and then touched it. You shouldn’t just believe what Bukseong says. We’re much better at making money than Bukseong.”

“This guy dares to toy with the prosecution!”

Still, Lee Dong-jae had pride and went on a rampage.

At that moment, Lee Dong-jae’s cell phone rang.

The sender was none other than the Prosecutor General.

Lee Dong-jae quickly straightened his back and answered the phone as if the Prosecutor General was standing in front of him.

“Yes, sir!”

[Is Director Nam Woon-myeong being interrogated now?]

“Yes, but.”

[Please change it.]

Lee Dong-jae looked at Nam Woon-myung with a suspicious look and switched his phone to speaker mode.

Nam Woon-myung answered happily.

“This is Nam Un-myeong.”

[Ah! Director Nam! What on earth are you talking about?]

“What are you talking about?”

[Suddenly there was chaos at the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.]

“I don’t know about the Financial Supervisory Service, but I have absolutely no connection with it.”

[Hey, I know. Today, Saudi Arabia and the UAE sent an urgent official letter. They said that if we interfere with and investigate their sovereign wealth fund investments, it will be difficult to import crude oil.]

“I don’t know about this?”

[Do you manage the sovereign wealth funds of those two countries?]

“There is quite a lot of money from Saudi Arabia and the UAE. I bought shares in Bukseong Distribution with that money.”

[Hey, do you know what happens if oil imports stop?]

“Of course I know. Doesn’t oil still account for half of electricity production? Without oil, cars stop and there’s no electricity. We’re going back to the primitive era, or rather, the Joseon era.”

For two days, Nam Yun-myeong had referred the matter to Saudi Arabia’s PIF and the UAE’s Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. Naturally, the two countries were furious at the pressure from the prosecution and the Financial Supervisory Service, which were hindering normal investment.

The situation has developed into one where the two countries could easily engage in an all-out war. At least in this country, there is no courage to confront a country that dares to wield oil as a weapon.

Lee Dong-jae’s face turned pale. Even though he can’t see it, the Prosecutor General is probably sweating profusely and thinking about how to handle the situation.

[Contact those two countries and try to resolve the situation.]

“Why me?”

[Aren’t you a citizen of this country?]

“Look here, Mr. President! Who is the one who received the request from the North Star? Is it the President? If you hinder investment like this, no one will invest in Korea. If I did something wrong, I should naturally pay the price. Does it make sense for the prosecution to yield to external pressure?”

[No, it has nothing to do with the President.]

The prosecutor general was shocked when the issue was dealt with ambiguously and it turned into a trade issue between Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

“Now the President knows. Let’s see what happens. Who was involved in this conspiracy.”

[Hey, don’t do that… … .]

“Hang up! I’m busy being interrogated!”

Stop!

Nam Yun-myeong hung up the phone.

Next to him, Lee Dong-jae looked at him as if he were a monster. He had never thought that the Prosecutor General would hang up the phone like this.

“I, Namisa, if you hang up the phone like that…….”

“What does it matter that the chief will soon take off his clothes? Oh! The prosecutor will also have to take off his clothes soon?”

Lee Dong-jae slowly opened his collar. It seemed like he didn’t want to get cut off.

Nam Yun-myeong said with a sly smile.

“That’s why we shouldn’t abuse public power arbitrarily. The prosecution shouldn’t run wild in response to requests. Is the ringleader the Prosecutor General?”

“I, I don’t know. I just received orders from above.”

It was a completely unbelievable answer, but I had to bother him anyway since it wasn’t his torso.

“I’m just a small fry, so it doesn’t matter to me, but do you know what will happen if Representative Yoon Se-bin is really arrested?”

Lee Dong-jae’s face automatically moved left and right.

“If Korea Asset Management and CSK’s investments are recovered, our country’s economy will take a huge hit right away, right? It’s not Bukseong’s problem. He is now the most important person in our country. But, a person like that… is being summoned as a suspect? Where did you sell your mind?”

Lee Dong-jae couldn’t even make excuses despite hearing all kinds of criticism.

No matter how much I thought about it, I had a sense of crisis that I had done something wrong.

“Do your best. If you don’t want to get cut.”

“…….”

Nam Woon-myung pointed to the cell phone again.

“Turn on YouTube. Han Chan-hyuk TV! They’ll probably be broadcasting today’s incident.”

The headquarters building of the Bukseong Group appeared on the cell phone, and Han Chan-hyuk was shouting passionately in front of the camera.

[Bukseong’s corruption has been discovered! The Financial Supervisory Service and the prosecution are said to be Bukseong’s minions, pressuring innocent businessmen! This is the reality of the Republic of Korea!]

“What is this?”

[Han Chan-hyuk TV is making the world a better place with donations! Please support us!]
