The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 360
Only Noblemtl
360. Gotcha, You! (1)
Representative Choi Il-tae, heading home, sat on the sofa in his study and wiggled his fingers.
Then, a boy with two eyes, Sambaek-an and Sabaek-an, took the lead and started to turn the study upside down.
He pulled out the files haphazardly and threw them over his shoulder.
He pulled out the entire drawer and spilled everything on the floor.
“Grandpa, you too. I guess you kept something important a secret from me.”
“Your Majesty, that is… … .”
The secretary of Rep. Choi Il-tae’s office made an excuse while struggling.
“I’m sure you’ve been busy preparing for the general elections recently.”
“Ah, the general election.”
That was always the top priority in this house.
In other words, he was saying that he had never even considered such things before.
“Where is the blind money~ Scraping the blind money wherever… … Oh!”
The boy found an object taped to the back of a desk drawer.
I tore open the envelope and found an old leather notebook inside a tightly wrapped black plastic bag.
“Grandpa, I think I found it.”
It was a notebook containing contact locations and passwords that could be used to contact the Jeong family’s informants.
Rep. Choi Il-tae crossed his legs on the sofa and wiggled his fingers.
“Come here.”
He was said to be an executive of the black society.
It was received in exchange for a bag of money from the guy who had been hiding his identity, blinding Jeong Dong-jin, and blocking information.
Rep. Choi Il-tae put the notebook in his bosom with a mean smile.
“Jeong Dong-jin, I will make good use of the organization you left behind.”
The secretary-general wiped the cold sweat with a handkerchief.
“Sir, what do you plan to do with that?”
“We must use public power to arrest him.”
“Yes? Is that okay?”
The secretary asked back with a surprised look on his face.
“Congressman, these are businesses managed by the Jeong family, of all places.”
“Hey, you must be really scared?”
The boy laughed.
But the more this happened, the more the Secretary-General’s face became gloomy.
“Do you know what happened to those who carelessly touched Jeongdongjin?”
“I guess I lost.”
It was a lukewarm response.
“If Jeong Dong-jin were alive, what would he know? What would he be so afraid of?”
A half-hearted explanation followed.
“The house was burned down, all of the aides were dragged to the water torture room in the central courtyard and the rest were scattered?”
I don’t think I can communicate with that reckless boy.
The Secretary-General appealed to Rep. Choi Il-tae.
“Congressman, it will be difficult to mobilize public power as easily as before.”
They lost this general election.
“If you don’t have a National Assembly badge… … .”
“It’s noisy.”
Rep. Choi Il-tae glared.
“I’m Choi Il-tae. I’m not dead yet.”
The secretary-general bowed his head, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent.
“You go now.”
“Yes, sir.”
People ran out as if they were running away.
In the quiet study, the one-eyed grandson sat with one buttock resting on the desk.
“Grandpa, weren’t you going to embezzle our blind money?”
The fifteen-year-old grandson scratched the back of his neck.
“I thought you found the key to the bank’s private vault. Are you going to use public power to sweep away the business?”
The irritation that had welled up in me was not easily hidden.
Even in front of a grandfather as scary as a tiger.
“This is a bit weird.”
“It is a precious organization that cannot be compared to blind money.”
“oh?”
“How can you compare the secret information organization in the back alleys that Jeong Dong-jin put his heart and soul into creating to a few pennies?”
Ambition sparkled in Rep. Choi Il-tae’s eyes.
“There was a reason why high-ranking officials in the political world could not even touch Jeongdongjin.”
“Hey. So Jeong Dong-jin was running a professional assassination business?”
“Wrong.”
“Then… … I guess he was a sucker who spit out money?”
The grandson chuckled.
“It would be a waste to kill a kid who spits out money every time you stab him. That’s why you didn’t touch him, right?”
“It is likely that the bribe was given to Jeong Dong-jin by political figures.”
“Huh?”
The grandson’s eyes widened.
“Do people in power give money to a mere loan shark?”
The eyes that had been widened have narrowed again.
“What is this sound of a bread shuttle collecting money from bullies?”
He had a sinister smile on his face.
“You want me to believe that now?”
“If you don’t want to go to jail, you have to bribe the bread shuttle.”
“Oh my, the high ranking officials must have been having their necks grabbed by that bastard all this time. Hehehe.”
The grandson whistled.
How great a weakness could you have caught?
If high-ranking officials in the political world are unable to move and are forced to offer bribes.
“Have you ever been threatened by Jeong Dong-jin, Grandpa?”
“No way.”
“Oh, then it’s nothing.”
The grandson grumbled and shook his leg.
“Pitifully.”
“Absolutely not.”
“Hey, I know how dirty Grandpa’s back is. If there’s an information organization that can’t even dig up that much, then there’s nothing to look at… … .”
“It’s not because I can’t catch my own mistakes.”
Rep. Choi Il-tae laughed bitterly.
“It was because I had no intention of fighting with Jeong Dong-jin.”
“Huh?”
It was a look of not quite understanding.
Choi Il-tae fiddled with his leather notebook.
Like a grandfather telling his grandson an old story.
“Did you say that you were trying to buy a mansion in Hannam-dong before?”
“Oh, I was really annoyed at that time. I really liked that house!”
There was a time when my Hannam-dong mansion was robbed right before my eyes.
To that brat who’s still got a cold, snotty nose.
“Why are you suddenly bringing that up?”
“Have you heard that the people who entered that mansion were found dead one after another?”
“Oh, a haunted house? Hey, at my age, that doesn’t scare me at all.”
The grandson snorted.
“If we just destroy everything and build a new one, that’s not going to happen. That’s physical exorcism! What are they going to do then? They’ll just be forced into Buddhahood, you know.”
“Do you know why the people in that house became ghosts?”
“yes?”
The grandson’s laughter suddenly stopped.
“no way…….”
The grandson, who was quite smart, immediately figured out the answer.
“I’m Jeong Dong-jin. Are you my grandfather?”
“What if I say both?”
“Aha, so that’s why you haven’t been threatened yet.”
Quick-witted.
Rep. Choi Il-tae smiled, wrinkling the corners of his eyes.
“It looks like you two have been using that corner of the house very usefully. Somehow! I really like it!”
The boy let out an exclamation of “Geugh.”
“There’s a swimming pool, and the garden is also quite secluded. I’m sure the basement was also very large and spacious.”
The boy raised his thumb.
“It was a perfect house to kill and bury without anyone knowing.”
“A total of seven entrepreneurs, including President Kim of Lee Sung Mulsan, President Choi of Daeryuk Machinery, and President Park of Mankuk Chemical, all went bankrupt and died.”
“Oh, because of the loan?”
“That’s how political funding is.”
That wasn’t all.
“A total of eight people, including Rep. Kim Chul-ho, Rep. Lee Tae-kwang, Rep. Yang Hyo-won, and Rep. Park In-seop, began serving prison sentences after ruining the election.”
“Hey, those idiot opposition party members who always tried to block my grandfather’s work happened to live there!”
“There are 9 people in the legal profession who died suddenly, including in traffic accidents or being found dead in the Han River.”
“Who are they following?”
“That’s just how politics is.”
“Ugh, ugh!”
The grandson, who had two pairs of eyes, one white and one black, kept exclaiming in admiration.
“I really like it. I want that Jeong family’s information organization!”
The grandson’s eyes sparkled.
“What should I do?”
The grandson licked his tongue and licked his lips.
“Should I just catch and kill all those so-called contacts?”
“Just wait and see.”
Choi Il-tae picked up the phone.
“I said public power comes first.”

The four big shots of the previous generation looked around as they left the Hannam-dong mansion.
I caught the skunk from the southeast corner of the garden, avoiding the eyes of Taesung Group’s security guards.
“Skunk, I mean the leather notebook I gave you earlier.”
“Is that still useful?”
“Changing your name, changing your house, and moving your business will be a headache. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.”
The Myeongdong Songolmae searched his pockets.
I took out the cheap children’s notebook that I always carried in my pocket.
I tore off a few pages and put them in the skunk’s hands.
“What is this?”
“This is information obtained by capturing a secret agent.”
A black society operative who was blocking information from Jeong Dong-jin’s inner circle.
The person who caught that guy in the basement and beat him up was none other than Myeongdong Songgolmae.
“The secret agent said that he passed the same information to Choi Il-tae.”
“Did you hear what Master Seongjun said earlier? Choi Il-tae is trying to steal the shadow line of our Jeong family.”
“That guy is a four-term lawmaker and has very close connections with not only the ruling party but also high-ranking officials.”
“They’re a well-established legal family. If they mobilize their relatives, the prosecutors, to stir things up, it’ll be a real headache.”
Their faces were full of worry.
The southeastern skunk chuckled.
“Why don’t people who know that know that Sungjun made the first move?”
“what?”
The reaction was that it was the first time they had heard of it.
A thought suddenly occurred to me.
“Ah, that time!”
“Secretary, you loose-mouthed bastard. I guess you even taunted Master Seongjun.”
“Somehow. When I looked into it according to the secret messenger’s words, they were all gone!”
“Are you saying that Master Seongjun personally stepped forward and cleaned up the shadow line?”
The southeastern skunk took out his perfume and sprayed it.
“I thought Sungjun would never look into this matter since he cut ties with the Jeong family.”
I like this perfume no matter how much I look at it.
“That guy doesn’t care about water or fire because it’s the strength he’ll give his son.”
“ah……!”
The four big names from the previous generation nodded at the same time.
“So that’s how things turned out.”
“Somehow. No matter how you look at it, it’s a bleak situation, but you’re making such confident boasts!”
“So how many did you resurrect? Shadow Line.”
“About 70% so far.”
“Ohhhhh!”
The four big names from the previous generation burst into hearty laughter.
They each ruffle the hair of the Southeast Skunk, pat its back, and pat its shoulder, as if they were treating it as a cute youngest child with a considerable age difference.
“Wow, you’ve recovered a lot in a short period of time!”
“Then what happens to the information that Representative Choi Il-tae has?”
“That guy might mess with our members, so you wouldn’t just leave him alone, would you?”
The southeastern skunk chuckled.
“Seongjun is not stupid.”
“Did Lord Seongjun come forward again this time?”
“If Choi Il-tae doesn’t get greedy, nothing will happen. But… … .”
It was a smile with only one corner of the mouth raised.
“If you try to touch my son’s share, you will see a very dirty sight.”
“oh!”
“Especially Samcheong-gwan… … .”
It was the center of the Jeong family’s shadow line.
“Seongjun took special care to set the trap.”
“Ohhhhh!”
Only then did the four big names from the previous generation calm down.
“Then there’s no need to worry about Assemblyman Choi Il-tae.”
“If Master Seongjun makes up his mind and takes action, he will be merciless.”
“Then! How foolish would someone like you be, having received early education at the Jeong family home since the age of six!”
The Myeongdong Songolmae stopped laughing and looked back at the skunk to the southeast.
“Skunk, you said you’re going to work under Master Seongjun, so who do you plan on handing over the shadow line to?”
“Yeah, there’s no one else who can roll the shadow line properly besides you.”
“Even without that, Master Jeonghyeok has a lot of work to do.”
“I may not be able to lighten your burden, but I cannot add to it.”
Everyone’s worries were poured into one person.
The southeast skunk waved.
“Why are you doing this? I am also the one who wrote the petition to Lord Jeonghyeok.”
“so?”
“I plan to ask after I restore the shadow line first.”
“What did you ask?”
“Have you ever thought about teaming up with Seongjun to roll out a shadow line?”
“what?”
The southeastern skunk smiled brightly.
“It just so happens that Sungjun also has something similar to a shadow line.”
“Was there something like that?”
“Taesung Group Public Relations Department.”
The four biggest names in the series opened their mouths wide.
The Southeast Skunk’s smile never ceased.
“There is no better place to take shelter from the rain until the shadow line is restored.”

A man who received a call from Representative Choi Il-tae on Christmas.
Seoul District Prosecutor Choi Seok-tae put down his chopsticks while eating jajangmyeon in the prosecutor’s office.
“Jeong Dong-jin’s money line?”
Seoul District Prosecutor Choi Seok-tae quickly picked up a pen and began taking notes.
I wrote down the names of the entertainment establishments and high-class restaurants scattered throughout Seoul.
“This is incredible.”
When I looked at the list, I was just amazed.
“I heard that Jeongdongjin had a firm grip on this field, but I didn’t think it was to this extent.”
-Surely, a big shot is a big shot.
“Even an old tiger leaves behind a nice skin.”
-If you can just get this right, you’ll be a surefire candidate to be the next Prosecutor General.
Attorney General!
Those words set Choi Seok-tae’s chest on fire.
“Please leave this job to me.”
If the karma and the informant’s name and position are revealed, then this is a steal.
Among them, there was one name that particularly caught the eye of the greedy Chief Prosecutor Choi Seok-tae.
“Samcheong-gwan?”
It is called one of the three great fairies of Korea, along with Cheongwon-gak and Daewolgak.
“good.”
Chief Prosecutor Choi Seok-tae had a gut feeling that he had stumbled upon a big fish.
