The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 328



Only Noblemtl

328. Bustling everywhere

“You should have known who the next head of the Jeong family is!”

The heads of large corporations shouted nervously.

“If I know who it is, I can send them lots of congratulatory gifts from now on!”

As the CEO of the company rushed, the vice president and other subordinate employees felt the fire burning under their feet.

The entire public relations team of a large company was mobilized to the hotline and searched all over the place.

“Before anyone else!”

“Faster than other companies!”

“I have to find it somehow and report it to the Chairman!”

Ilsung Group, Hyunmu Group, Samhwang Group, Roksan Group, Cheongwol Group, and Sanguk Group were also busy running around.

“Find out what’s going on among political figures!”

“Surely the quick-footed congressmen will take action!”

“We have to catch up somehow and get a spot too!”

It was the first time.

How shocked must the second generation of conglomerates who were helping their fathers manage the group have been?

“Why is this uproar over the death of just one rich, famous person from a loan shark family?”

“How well we look to the new head of the Jeong clan is a very important issue that will determine the life or death of our group!”

“This is a matter of life and death for the group?”

“There is no business in this country that has not borrowed a single penny from the loan sharks!”

The larger the company, the greater the response.

The amount borrowed was also that large.

“When we were raising funds to increase the number of group affiliates and expand facilities, we handed over a large portion of our group’s shares to loan sharks and borrowed money.”

With an interest rate of 67.8%.

“If you recklessly swing your company’s stock around because you’re upset, then a truly unmanageable and unmanageable situation could erupt!”

In a company, the one who holds the most stock is king.

“You must win his favor at all costs! You must never displease him by committing a crime!”

The heads of large corporations were stamping their feet in frustration.

“This isn’t the place to be. I’m going!”

“Where are you going in this situation?”

“Blue House!”

No, why are you going to the Blue House in the meantime?

“With the presidential and general elections just around the corner, His Majesty will be on high alert!”

Is this enough to make even His Excellency the President nervous?

The second generation of chaebols opened their mouths wide.

“The Blue House must have mobilized all its manpower by now to find a new head of the Jeong family.”

That was the reason why the conglomerate leaders quickly headed to the Blue House.

The Blue House staff had very close connections with the central government, political circles, and high-ranking public officials.

I was thinking of putting a spoonful of rice on there.

“Busy, busy! You guys, don’t just sit there and do nothing. Move quickly!”

The conglomerate leader hurriedly ran out of the chairman’s office.

“What? The loan shark Jeong Dong-jin is dead?”

The political world was also turned upside down.

Members of the National Assembly, who were busy preparing for the presidential and general elections, also gave urgent instructions.

“Find out quickly where the funeral of loan shark Jeong Dong-jin is being held!”

“Send a funeral wreath in my name and prepare the donation envelopes by tightly packing them in!”

“Find out everything about Jeong Dong-jin’s successor, including what he likes and dislikes, his hobbies, his special skills, and his tastes!”

But the aides in the congressman’s office had awkward expressions on their faces.

“Why can’t you answer?”

“No one knows who the next leader will be.”

“I’m going crazy.”

The congressman rubbed his pounding head.

“Is there anyone in the political world who didn’t take money from that guy? If you dig into the people who gave them the money, they’ll come out!”

“Even that is covered with a veil. Isn’t this a place where information control is very strict?”

“Let’s take a look at the big names in private finance in South Korea.”

The congressman sighed deeply.

“As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and those in the same industry know best.”

“yes.”

“Stop everything you’re doing and make this your top priority. Do whatever it takes before the funeral is over! Got it?”

“yes!”

A young man with little experience among the congressman’s aides asked in a cautious voice.

“Congressman, we are so busy preparing for the presidential and general elections that we are dying of exhaustion. Do we really need to worry about such useless things?”

“Useless work?”

He was a member of the National Assembly who often smiled and said, “Haha,” in front of the public and the cameras.

Suddenly, he became cold and serious.

“I am at a critical juncture where my political career will end or not, and you are saying that it is useless now?”

“Huh? Why is your political career being ruined by a loan shark’s funeral…?”

“Who brought this clueless thing into the camp?”

The congressman snapped, his voice thick with irritation.

“Get this guy out, and send out the quick-moving guys to find the Jeongdongjin funeral parlor and Sangju and report to them immediately!”

It got cut off before I knew it.

Just for asking a thoughtless question.

The young aide was about to cry and protest, but the older secretary silenced him.

“I guess you don’t know. This isn’t normal.”

“town!”

“Our congressman also received a lot of political funding from that guy. What if the next leader discloses the ledgers because he’s being slandered?”

“town!”

“Have you already forgotten about the time when the office was turned upside down because of the Wookwang Construction bribery ledger?”

I haven’t forgotten.

How could I forget that?

Anonymous threatening letters were posted in the hallways of the National Assembly, on windows, on the doors of members’ offices, and even on bathroom stalls.

At that time, the anonymous letter made the congressman shiver for three days and nights.

“If Wookwang Construction’s ledger is a tricycle, Jeongdongjin’s ledger is a tank, a tank.”

“town?”

“The moment they strike, Woo Kwang Construction’s accountant will end up with a “ah, foot dong dong”, but Jeong Dong Jin’s accountant will be crushed to death without even being able to make a sound.”

“town!”

“Do you understand why the congressman is so nervous and making such a fuss?”

“Eeeeeep!”

The young aide nodded madly, his mouth shut.

Only then did the old manager remove his hand from his grip.

“Mistakes can be made up for. If only the congressman knew where the funeral of loan shark Jeong Dong-jin was, he would carry you around.”

“I will visit all hospitals, crematoriums, and undertakers.”

“Okay, that’s it.”

The manager gave a thumbs up.

The office manager immediately picked up the phone and connected the internal call.

“We should help each other as members of the same party. I’m trying to find out where the funeral of loan shark Jeong Dong-jin is, so let’s each take charge of one district and help each other.”

Naturally, the other office managers were also delighted and shouted, “Call!”

“What? The loan shark Jeong Dong-jin is dead?”

As the political and financial world became abuzz, reporters from broadcasting stations and newspapers who smelled a scoop also trembled.

“This is a scoop! Regardless of the ruling or opposition party, the members of the National Assembly and their camps are stirring things up like crazy!”

“I think I’ll catch a big fish! Please support me!”

“Bring us a story that will be featured on the front page of our newspaper right now!”

People in the press also had their own many information outlets.

“Detective Kim, didn’t the loan sharks suddenly go to the funeral as a group? Could you give me some information?”

“Prosecutor Choi, don’t you see any signs of the gangsters moving as a group? For example, going to pay their respects somewhere.”

“Mr. Park, I’m asking because you’re a person who roams around Seoul like it’s your home. Are there any neighborhoods these days where you’ve been thinking, ‘Why are funerals so outrageous?’?”

“Attorney Song, do you happen to know who the attorney who is bragging about becoming the Jeong family’s personal attorney is?”

Everyone was bloodshot and each had their own way and purpose to find the next head of the Jeong family.

It was the same at the Blue House.

“What? The loan shark Jeong Dong-jin is dead?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The president rhythmically tapped his fingertips on the desk in his Blue House office.

It was a habit that came out when I was deep in thought.

The chief of staff waited quietly in front of him, holding the report under his arm.

Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly.

After a long time, the president opened his mouth.

“Do you know where Jeong Dong-jin’s house is?”

“Yes, I know.”

“Take the kids and rob them all.”

The president smiled meaningfully.

“Not a single ledger, not a single document, not a speck of dust. It would be a shame to leave any regrets behind.”

Jeong Dong-jin knows too much.

Since before the President staged a military coup, and since when he was a major in the army.

I once asked for Jeong Dong-jin’s support.

If any information about him remained, things would be very difficult in the future.

“That seems difficult.”

“why?”

“Jeong Dong-jin is a person who is a person.”

The chief of staff held out the report he had been holding at his side with a calm expression.

“He must have anticipated my death, because he did some really nasty things.”

“Smuggling?”

“Before I died, I burned down my entire house.”

“what?”

The President opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

It was not like a president who always took care to maintain a solemn and intimidating expression.

“We are looking at it as a deliberate arson to destroy evidence. There were over 50 charcoal cans found at the scene.”

“You are so thorough.”

“I think it’s because they anticipated this kind of situation.”

The Prime Minister and the President simultaneously shut their mouths.

Because I knew it without having to say anything.

The president clasped his hands together.

“I’m sure I’m a bad guy. When Jeong Dong-jin dies, I was planning on catching that successor and beating him up.”

It was part of the President’s favorite taming ritual.

“Have you found out who the successor is?”

“I’m sorry. It seems he burned his will before he died.”

“A strong baby.”

“It has been a long time since the lawyer who wrote the will was found dead.”

“You did this on purpose.”

“It is said that all the men in the Jeong family died during the Japanese colonial period and the Korean War, thus ending the family line.”

“Wasn’t there a successor you were planning to adopt?”

“It is known that he was eliminated by Jeong Dong-jin for some reason ten years ago.”

“Since then, no one has been nominated as a successor?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

We need to know who the successor to the Jeong family is before we can take action or not.

“As a result of arresting those who worked for the Jeong family and interrogating them in the water torture room of the Seobinggo office, we were able to discover that there was an organization that was trying to infiltrate the country and cause internal strife and disruption by taking advantage of the fact that there was no successor to the Jeong family.”

“You’re reactionaries. Where did you send them from?”

“It was China’s dark society.”

“You’re a communist?”

“Since Jeong Dong-jin is an important figure with great influence in the political and business world, I suspect that external forces were planning to cause chaos and ruin the presidential and general elections.”

“under!”

bang!

The president couldn’t stand it anymore and slammed his fist down.

“What would have happened if that ledger had been leaked to the outside?”

“That’s why I think Jeong Dong-jin may have intentionally set the fire.”

“Sure. It’s hard to get rid of the aftereffects more cleanly than that.”

“As soon as we received the relevant information, we dispatched agents to retrieve the ledgers and documents by any means necessary, but we were a step too late. This is all we were able to salvage.”

Swish.

The chief of staff handed over a few pieces of paper that had just been scraped.

The president frowned.

“This kid is doing this behind my back without me knowing… … .”

A piece of paper crumpled by the president.

It contained detailed accounts of the Chief of Security at the Blue House’s illicit accumulation of wealth and abuse of power.

The chief of security at the Blue House has been taking extreme measures recently to show off his status as the president’s number two.

“Are you going to arrest all the guys whose names are listed here?”

As a result, the conflict between the chief of the Blue House security service and the chief of the Central Intelligence Agency was intensifying.

The chief of security would often openly trample on and insult the chief of the central government in front of people.

A few days ago, they even got into a fistfight.

The Chief of Staff of the Central Intelligence Agency felt very sorry for the Chief of Security at the Blue House.

“Since this could be a malicious slander and plot to sow discord against His Majesty’s closest aides, wouldn’t it be better to confirm the facts and then move on?”

Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly.

“Okay. You take care of it.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The chief of staff smiled meaningfully.

With this, they obtained the justification to mercilessly dig up the forces of their arch-enemy, the Chief of the Blue House Security Service, with the President’s official approval.

‘Thanks to Taesung’s brain, I got a good opportunity.’

The chief of staff quietly exclaimed in admiration.

‘I’m telling you, I’m definitely a bad guy. When on earth did you join hands with Jeong Dong-jin to do something like this?’

I couldn’t help but stick out my tongue.

‘What a truly amazing feat.’

I received a report from the central intelligence agent who was dispatched to the scene.

Taesung Brain was not seen, and one of Jeong Dong-jin’s closest associates, who was presumed to have been attacked recently, was confirmed.

‘Now that I look at it, I wonder if the reason he mobilized Jungjeong in Myeongdong to ask for a favor was to owe Jeong Dong-jin a debt.’

A person who can see through the mind of His Excellency the President, devise and implement bold strategies to neatly resolve the expected aftereffects and turn the attention of the successor.

Such a resourceful person is rare.

No matter how much people said Jeongdongjin was famous in the past, it wasn’t like this.

‘What did Taesung Brain demand from Jeong Dong-jin, and what did he receive in return?’

I was curious.

I was even more curious because I knew how good Taesung Brain’s negotiation skills were.

Taesung’s brain’s offer was always so sweet that it was hard to refuse.

This is the case even in this case.

-Don’t you want to have the corruption ledger of the Chief of Security at the Blue House?

The moment I heard that, I was shocked.

This was a weapon that had to be obtained at all costs.

The Central Intelligence Agency couldn’t help but close its eyes and take the bait.

-What do you want me to do?

-I would like you to close the eyes and ears of the Blue House for a moment.

The Central Intelligence Agency was the head of an intelligence agency that handled top secret domestic and international information.

If he sets his mind to carrying out a disinformation operation, no one can stop him.

– It won’t be long. I can’t keep Your Majesty blind and deaf forever. Will a year be enough?

-……great.

The head of the central government was curious.

‘Perhaps Taesung’s brain will take advantage of this opportunity to plan something truly amazing. What could it be?’

What an ambition a man of that caliber would have.

I couldn’t even begin to imagine what the ripple effect would be.

* * *

Why did you deliberately block the eyes and ears of the Blue House?

It was for three reasons.

First, for my people.

“It’s like a dream come true that we can quietly mourn with our family.”

Sobbing, sobbing, my grandmother wiped away her tears with a handkerchief throughout the funeral.

“They say that even if a prime minister’s dog dies, the threshold of the mourning house will wear down. Our Dongjin must have incurred a lot of resentment from all over the place.”

Grandma blew her nose.

“I came here prepared to be stabbed at the funeral. Can I take off my bulletproof vest now?”
