The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 365
Only Noblemtl
365. You did a great job.
I think this will get long.
The Prime Minister sat on the sofa where the President had authority.
“Thanks to Taesung’s brain, we were able to catch the secret agent and the black agent.”
“The secret agent and the black agent? What kind of people do they do?”
“They are executives belonging to the Chinese underworld.”
“under?”
The president’s eyebrows went up as high as his heart.
“Are you saying that you caught a bunch of gangsters from another country right in the middle of South Korea?”
“Yes. He was walking around the Myeongdong area like it was his home, wielding a knife. We arrested him at the scene.”
“How did you get that information?”
“I got it from Taesung Brain.”
“under?”
The President looked at the Chief of Staff with a strange look.
“Information that I didn’t even know about?”
“It is said that during the construction stock market crash, they were able to catch the tail of the problematic forces by chance.”
This is so cool.
“Of course, it was our Jungjeong who planned and pushed for the operation, but it is true that we received help from Taesung Brain.”
“You have done a great job.”
Now that I think about it, Taesung’s Brain warned me about something else.
-The construction wave will start soon.
-Inflation rates are still in the double digits during the boom. As a result, real estate prices are skyrocketing.
-Construction companies that have taken on unsold apartments will start to go bankrupt one after another.
The president stroked his chin.
How did you know?
Anyway, I’m telling you, he’s an amazing guy.
The president burst into laughter as he recalled Taesung Brain.
“This must have been embarrassing.”
“That’s impossible. We caught the guys who infiltrated under secret orders from the Chinese police, so we now have a card to put pressure on China.”
“what?”
It would be different if they weren’t just some random Chinese thugs, but spies sent by the Chinese police.
China is one of North Korea’s allies.
It declared a socialist system and had already dispatched Chinese troops on the side of North Korea during the Korean War.
“What is the purpose of crawling all the way to Korea?”
“They say he tried to cause trouble in the Korean underground financial world by murdering Jeong Dong-jin.”
“under!”
“It is also said that the ultimate goal was to use Jeong Dong-jin’s funds and influence to persuade and win over Korean politicians and then divide public opinion.”
“what?”
The chief of staff presented the report he had brought to the president.
The President’s hands were filled with anger as he handed over the report.
“Are there really this many traitorous bastards who took bribes from those communist bastards?”
It costs a lot of money to do politics.
It is the law of the world that if you receive money, you should pay for it.
“The people whose names are listed here will be dealt with in the central court!”
“yes.”
This was a difficult issue to tolerate for the current administration, which has put anti-communism and national security as its top priorities.
The President confirmed the names of ‘Choi Il-tae’ and his gang written at the top of the report.
“The red bastards have infiltrated South Korea without fear and are running wild above the law.”
widely.
The president covered the report.
He hurled the report down onto the living room table as if he was uncomfortable even holding it.
Swish.
As soon as the head of the Blue House security service picked up the report and tried to open it, an axe-like eye flew at him.
The chief of security at the Blue House had no choice but to quietly put down the intelligence report in the face of the president’s chilling gaze.
The expression of unbearable curiosity was one that he could hardly hide.
“We must thoroughly root out the impure elements and thoroughly clean up the water.”
“yes!”
“The Jungjeong agents who participated in this operation will be rewarded with medals and promotions.”
“yes!”
“The field workers whose faces are well-known have served their purpose. Let’s return them to office jobs.”
“yes!”
The president looked around at the chief of staff at the Blue House.
“You summon the leaders of the ruling and opposition parties immediately.”
“yes.”
“I will also contact the Prosecutor General, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the Minister of Justice, and the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court.”
“yes?”
“This is a great opportunity to shake up the legal profession as well.”
If there is a change in the vested class and reform in the legal profession, the people will really like it.
The government’s position was already tense in the face of a national crisis caused by the second oil shock and the crushing defeat in the general elections due to the introduction of the value-added tax.
There is no better card to play as a solution to ensure the president’s long-term rule and stable maintenance of power.
“Right. The name written on the very last page of that report.”
The President looked coldly at the report.
The President’s eyes, staring at the Chief of Security at the Blue House, had long since narrowed with suspicion and distrust.
“That’s this guy’s name. Is that right?”
“you’re right.”
“Phew!”
The chief of security at the Blue House spit out the tea he was drinking.
It was a face that was a mixture of bewilderment, confusion, anger, and shock.
“What, what, what a ridiculous accusation… …!”
The chief of security at the Blue House couldn’t hold it in any longer and jumped up.
“Hey, Kim Jae-guk!”
A torrent of criticism poured in.
“You little punk, what are you thinking! Why are you turning your arrows on me!”
“well.”
Recently, the relationship between the chief of the Blue House security service and the chief of the Central Intelligence Agency has been getting worse.
The head of the central government abruptly dismissed the matter.
“I just wrote the report based on the statements of those Chinese commies.”
“Are you saying I’m in league with the commies right now?”
“Are you very sensitive? Your reactions are a bit excessive.”
“This kid is really… … !”
The chief of security at the Blue House could no longer stand it and grabbed the head of the Central Intelligence Agency by the collar.
“stop.”
Despite the president’s rebuke, the chief of security at the Blue House grumbled and did not let go of his grip on his collar.
He shouted in a resentful voice.
“If you truly doubt my loyalty to Your Majesty, I will bite my sword and fall down here and now!”
It was a scream full of determination.
“I have been following your Majesty for 20 years! Haven’t we shared life and death together?”
The chief of security at the Blue House was one of the officials who had led the military coup.
“But how can you believe that kid’s words and force me into this!”
“Do you know anyone who hasn’t gone through life and death together?”
The chief of staff was also a person from the same hometown who had contributed to the military coup and was a classmate of the president at the military academy.
“If we just consider the time we’ve spent together, I’m older than you.”
They fought together to become the victors of power, and survived until the end to reach this position.
He became one of the five most powerful people in the country.
“I didn’t want to believe it either.”
“That’s just the testimony of a Chinese communist bastard! It’s something that hasn’t even been properly confirmed yet! Kim Jae-guk, you can’t do this to me!”
“Really? So you’ve never received a bribe from Jeong Dong-jin? Are you sure?”
“… … !”
The chief of security at the Blue House was unable to refute the claim for a moment.
For a moment, I didn’t even notice that the President’s eyes were narrowing further.
“Why are we talking about Jeong Dong-jin and bribery here? You didn’t take it? What makes you so clean?”
“I’m talking about the members of the Samcheonggwan drinking party that the Chief of Security at the Blue House often called. After the secret envoy Gam Yong-hu.”
“what……?”
“That guy was a Chinese underworld cadre who gave a bribe at the instigation of the Chinese public security.”
“No, why is that kid Chinese? I, I don’t know! I really didn’t know!”
The chief of security at the Blue House immediately turned his eyes and looked at the president.
“I just received political funds on behalf of Your Majesty!”
“Hmm, so that’s the excuse you’ve been using to take communist money?”
The moment when he felt that the President’s eyes looking at him were colder than ice.
The chief of security at the Blue House threw the head of the Central Intelligence Agency away and immediately knelt down.
“No, Your Majesty! What I received was political donations from Jeong Dong-jin! Your Majesty’s presidential campaign funds!”
“You don’t have to feel so wronged.”
The chief of staff took out a ledger from his bosom.
“This was found in the safe in Jeong Dong-jin’s mansion.”
It was the bribe ledger of the chief of security at the Blue House, handed over by Taesung’s brain.
“Isn’t it enough to prove your innocence? I guess we can just compare the political funds I gave to Your Majesty with the funds I have received from Samcheonggwan so far.”
“… … !”
The face of the chief of security at the Blue House turned pale.
“Go, Your Majesty!”
“Why do you have that face? Are you feeling irritated?”
“That, that… … !”
thud!
The chief of security at the Blue House immediately fell flat on the floor.
I banged my forehead in a prostration position.
“Jeong Dong-jin gave me some money as a gift, saying it was rice cake money!”
Cold sweat dripped down the chin of the chief of security at the Blue House.
“I didn’t spend it on anything else! I bought food for the kids I had, bought them drinks, gave them some pocket money sometimes, and even got them girls!”
It was a desperate cry.
“Really! You know, I haven’t even been able to properly change my mother’s house yet!”
The president’s eyebrows softened slightly at his mother’s voice.
The chief of security at the Blue House was a rare filial son. He would always choose the best thing he had and give it to his mother.
“My house was given to me by Your Majesty, and I only used the car that Your Majesty gave me! I didn’t ask for too much, and I wasn’t greedy, right?”
That’s why I was able to become the chief of security at the Blue House.
“I have been with Your Majesty every single day of the year! Your Majesty is the one who has watched my every move from the very side!”
The chief of security at the Blue House sobbed.
“Jeong Dong-jin gave me the money for the rice cakes to use on the kids, so I accepted it without thinking much about it! That was really all there was to it!”
Flapping. Flapping.
The president turned over the bribe ledger with cold eyes.
His eyes were busy checking the names of politicians and high-ranking government officials who often interacted with the chief of security at the Blue House and the bribes they received.
widely!
The president covered up the bribery ledger of the chief of the Blue House security service.
“I sent you home to rest, but whenever you had time, you hung out with Choi Il-tae.”
“Shouldn’t we maintain good relations with the ruling party officials so that they will obey Your Excellency’s words even if it means pretending to die?”
“Tsk.”
“Really! I really did my best to help Your Majesty in some way! I thought that was loyalty!”
Where cold sweat had dripped, tears of resentment began to fall.
“Was it a problem that I gave the bribe money to Choi Il-tae and his gang? I really didn’t do anything else… …!”
“wake up.”
“… … !”
The chief of security at the Blue House raised his head in surprise.
“Go, Your Majesty!”
Her whole face was covered in tears.
Looking at that face, the president frowned and sighed softly.
“You loser.”
“I, I was wrong! Please forgive me just this once… …!”
“That guy who claims to be my right-hand man. Tsk, if you’re going to eat, you might as well eat until you burst.”
The president waved his hand.
“The amount of money you received for the rice cakes is not even 1/30th of what Choi Il-tae received. Why is that bastard’s stomach so small? It’s so embarrassing.”
“dismissal!”
“After eating a lot, why don’t you just cut it in half and say, ‘I received political funds!’ and hand it over? How stupid.”
“I, I’m so stupid and ignorant, I’m really sorry… … !”
Bam.
The president shoved the bribe ledger in front of the chief of staff.
“The people whose names are listed here will also be dealt with in the central government.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“However, the names of the Blue House family, including this guy, will be erased.”
“… … .”
The head of the central government was unable to answer readily.
There were quite a few Blue House officials whose names were on Jeong Dong-jin’s bribery ledger.
A significant number of them were those who embezzled large amounts of bribes.
“These are the guys who work by my side under my orders. Let’s consider it as me paying them for the rice cakes.”
“… … Yes, Your Majesty.”
The chief of staff tried hard to hide his hardened expression.
It was when I was quietly gathering the bribe ledger and report and considering whether to step down.
The President stopped tapping his fingers rhythmically, tap, tap, tap.
“Will Taesung’s Brain also attend the New Year’s Eve party?”
It is an event held at the end of each year to solicit donations from people in the political and business world.
“Maybe not?”
“Where did you say it was going to be held this year?”
“This is Taesung Hotel.”
The New Year’s Eve event was held with different organizers and locations each year.
“That’s good. I’ll attend this time too.”
“yes?”
“You are the one who saved my position from hitting rock bottom, so how can I just wipe my mouth and pretend not to know?”
The Chief of Staff to the President was very surprised.
‘Your Majesty personally congratulating us? Isn’t this the first time this has happened since the New Year’s Eve event was held?’
The chief of security at the Blue House was also surprised.
‘How can you show favoritism so blatantly? From now on, everyone will be rushing to me with fire in their eyes, wanting to achieve great things.’
The chief of staff quickly recovered his surprised expression.
‘I didn’t know that Your Majesty would value Taesung’s brain this much. Is there anyone among the younger generation who has impressed Your Majesty so much?’
The president leaned back on the sofa, resting his chin on his hand.
“The political and financial worlds are in turmoil due to the second oil shock and the defeat in the general election.”
It was the first official political and business event since the general elections were held in December.
“It is also a situation where a large-scale reshuffle in the ruling party and the legal profession is expected due to the Choi Il-tae family. At times like these, we must unite with one mind and one purpose.”
Everyone, including the Chief of Staff to the President, was delighted.
“That’s right, Your Majesty. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to consolidate power.”
“There is no better stage for His Majesty to come forward and call for unity.”
“At this time, you should also take a stab at the arrogance of the opposition party that is so arrogant.”
It was unanimous.
So there was no need to argue further.
“Contact Taesung Brain separately.”
The president raised one corner of his mouth.
“If there’s something you want, I should give it to you.”

Click.
The last person to leave the Blue House office was the Chief of Staff, who closed the door.
Bam!
As soon as the office door closed, the chief of security at the Blue House threw a punch at the director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
