There is no villain in my return 132

Seoul District Prosecutors’ Office.

It was late at night, but the lights in Shinwoo’s office were still on.

In the empty office, I looked through the ledger that An Ki-cheol left behind.

It is a messy trace of money changing hands, and it is difficult to properly understand Woodfoot Lumber just by looking at this.

“If it were normal, then yes.”

Shinwoo knows the brothers Hwang Hyeon and Hwang Jun well.

They are snake-like in a different sense from Geummusan.

Although he expanded his business under the protection of Cheonwoo Industries, his greed was too great to remain there.

He greatly expanded his business by conducting external activities using raw drug materials imported through the factory.

“The method is exactly the same as Geummusan.”

He brutally murdered the head of the organization called Beomgupa and devoured him.

They don’t hesitate to commit any kind of brutality, including murder, human trafficking, and drug use, while showering huge amounts of money on their members.

Woodfoot is a collection of things that smell worse and are dirtier than a trash can.

People’s desires are diverse.

“At first it’s money, but as it builds up, you start to want to be recognized and have a desire for fame.”

This is why those who have been in the shade are trying to come out into the sun.

But brothers Hwang Hyeon and Hwang Jun don’t have that.

They are obsessed with collecting money at all costs.

It was no wonder that Geummusan first praised these brothers for the huge amount of money they brought to Cheonwoo Industries.

A desire so hideously ugly appears wonderful to Geummu-san.

‘They are all similar, starting with the bathroom that resembles an execution ground.’

They tried to place two brothers under Geum Min-jun, but they made one mistake.

They did not hide their desires in front of Geummusan Mountain.

They have never met anyone with stronger desires than themselves.

Geummusan learned of the wealth his brothers had accumulated and realized that there was more hidden than he had thought.

The subsequent results are obvious.

“They were executed in the bathhouse they built themselves.”

Just like those killed by his brothers, his body was torn to pieces and thrown into the sewer.

It’s a comfortable ending for what they did.

“The way to get rid of them is simple. Just throw them to Geummusan like in your previous life and he’ll be taken care of.”

But that doesn’t mean Woodfoot Lumber doesn’t have the stake it deserves.

“What I have to do is…….”

Shake.

It cuts off the weak links in the huge mass of desire and fear.

Go into the center of the gradually splitting group and wipe out not only Woodfoot Timber but also all the guys who have colluded with them to do dirty things.

It is absolutely impossible to do that alone.

Fortunately, Shinwoo has a lot of moving parts.

“The weakest link I can see right now is…….”

Shinwoo found an unusual name among the list of USB files.

[Yang Mi-ryeo, Director of Saesomang Orphanage]

The amount of money given to her, who was only the director of the orphanage, was nearly twice that of the chief of Gangnam Police Station.

This is not a bribe, it is the transaction fee for human trafficking.

Shinwoo’s eyes became sharp.

“I can be cruel for once.”

The next morning.

Shinwoo visited the Gangho Investment Development office building.

It’s extremely busy even though it’s Saturday.

Shinwoo has no intention of keeping not only the acquired Sanoh Savings Bank, but also EL Non-Life Insurance and Gyro Electronics as shell companies.

We appointed CEOs suited to each sector and invested in various sectors.

To put it simply, the connection between Sanoh Savings Bank, Kangho Investment Development, and EL Insurance is good.

“We are depositing the money earned from Kangho Investment Development into Sanoh Savings Bank and using that capital as the basis for creating and selling various insurance products through EL Insurance.”

There, they sold everything from car insurance that only pays for the amount of driving that is not available at today’s insurance companies, to actual loss medical insurance, and even insurance products targeting businesses.

This is all a structure created by Shinwoo.

Rather than having several business divisions and departments under the giant head of Kangho Investment Development, each business division was operated as a completely separate affiliate.

It is a management strategy to maximize decentralization.

Of course, the insurance money for risk collateral is shared by EL Non-Life Insurance, a subsidiary of the holding company, and is jointly guaranteed at the group level.

“With this method, even if the corporate brand cannot be greatly increased, stable investment and recovery will be possible.”

This is because EL Insurance provides personal insurance, but it also focuses on corporate insurance, and most of its other subsidiaries also target corporations.

Everyone, including Kim Tae-seok, was impressed by Shinwoo’s strategy, but in fact, it was benchmarked against Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway.

Kangho Investment Development has taken on the characteristics of an investment holding company, investing insurance money and dividend income generated through subsidiaries in marketable securities.

There, Shinwoo hired mixed race or foreigners as CEOs of each company, not Koreans.

This means that the company will not limit its operations to just Korea.

“You want to study semiconductors using gyro electronics?”

“Right now, we are focusing on producing not the semiconductors themselves, but the essential materials that go into them.”

Gyro Electronics CEO Gibson sympathized with the sentiment but expressed concern.

“If we were to move from the current Gyro Electronics, which only makes radios, to the semiconductor field, we would need a lot of money, from hiring new people to installing new equipment.”

“If the results are certain, don’t worry about it and invest.”

Gibson liked the cool young CEO.

Since then, I have met with each CEO, heard a brief report, and shared strategies.

The person I talked to the most was Michael, the CEO of Kangho Investment Development.

He was nicknamed Big Michael because of his bear-like build and bushy beard.

“It’s quite unusual to see how Kangho Investment Development made money.”

He made a fortune from redevelopment interests and commercial real estate in the United States.

But that makes it more difficult to determine future management strategies.

“If we continue with our existing methods, it seems like it would be okay to buy commercial real estate in the U.S. or Korea again.”

“That wouldn’t be bad either. But the returns wouldn’t be as satisfying as before.”

The amount of money that needs to be handled has increased several times.

Even if it is an undefeated real estate, it will be difficult to enjoy the fun as before for a while.

“Right now, it would be better to invest in companies whose value has fallen.”

Shinwoo not only gave instructions but also gave Michael a list of companies he had chosen.

It is his job to analyze it and determine the size and timing of the funds.

Even if it is Shinwoo who ultimately approves it.

After a brief interview with the CEOs, I met with Choi Ji-sang.

“Do you know of Saesomang Orphanage?”

Choi Ji-sang’s expression hardened as he recited the word “new hope.”

“Are you talking about the orphanage in Daerim?”

“That’s right. There is only one new hope in Seoul.”

“I once heard that there was a daycare center that took children and did business.”

It’s a far-fetched story, but it really happened.

Government-affiliated orphanages sold young children overseas in exchange for money in the form of donations.

The problem is that they didn’t even do basic research on the adoptees.

There have been cases where children were adopted by ex-convicts and suffered abuse or even death.

Even though they committed such a terrible act, the daycare center and the public officials involved were not properly punished.

“I heard that the traces have disappeared and work has begun in a new form.”

“Then the New Hope Orphanage…?”

“That’s right. They say it was founded by the director of an orphanage that sold children. But that’s just a rumor that spreads like an urban legend without any evidence.”

“It’s not just a rumor.”

Choi Ji-sang’s eyes narrowed.

Shinwoo talked about Woodfoot lumber.

His eyes widened at the horrible sound that seemed to come straight out of a movie.

“You’re making drugs with children?”

“That’s right. Not only that, they are the ones who do everything from human trafficking to organ trafficking.”

“How can there be such people in this day and age? You’re a prosecutor. Can’t you arrest them?”

Shinwoo smiled bitterly.

“They are the ones who do whatever they want by throwing money at politicians, including prosecutors. One prosecutor can’t do anything about it.”

“then?”

“We have to do it our way.”

Choi Ji-sang’s eyes became tense as he nodded.

“What should I do?”

“Donate like you are doing now. Also to Saesomang Orphanage.”

And if you act like you’re one of their kind, they’ll show you how you really are.

But Choi Ji-sang felt uncomfortable being associated with those kinds of people.

“Why can’t we just beat them up like we did during Gold Earth?”

“Then we are only cutting off the outer branches. Our goal is the roots.”

Woodfoot Wood, to light a fire there and pull it out, you have to not only hold the Yangmiryo in your hand, but also crush it with your fist.

“Your chance will come soon.”

“Okay. Do as you say.”

* * *

Kangho Investment Development held a donation event.

The target group included socially vulnerable groups such as the elderly and the disabled, as well as orphanages.

The scale reached 100 billion won.

What makes this different from the donations made by ordinary large corporations is that the current economic situation is extremely difficult.

Unlike large corporations that do all kinds of advertising, Kangho Investment & Development only makes short announcements about how much they can help in difficult times.

And that time.

Shinwoo and Choi Jisang arrived at Saesomang Orphanage.

The building is unnecessarily white and clean, in contrast to the horrors that go on here.

“You’re so bold.”

“It’s like a prison.”

The iron bars on top of the wall, which is nearly 2 meters high, are sharp.

While the two were looking around the orphanage, a group of people came out from inside.

A kind-faced woman wearing round glasses and staff.

“Hello. Are you here to make a donation?”

The woman with her rich brown hair tied back and wearing a one-piece dress is Director Yang Mi-ryeo.

Despite her actions, her outward appearance is gentle, as if she has only done good deeds in her life.

Instead of Choi Ji-sang, who couldn’t hide his expression, Shin-woo stepped forward.

“Nice to meet you. This is Yoo Hyuk from Kangho Investment Development.”

“Yes. I will take you inside. No, should I introduce you to our orphanage first?”

“Yes, please. It’s bigger and better than I thought.”

“Yes. It’s the space where our children stay.”

At that moment, the children were eating at a restaurant.

As soon as Shinwoo and Jisang Choi entered the restaurant, they discovered something strange.

Even if the restaurant is overly clean, the children who eat their food in a hurry don’t even engage in the usual small talk.

Rather than simply being taught table manners, they are overly nervous.

‘Don’t even give us a glance.’

He ate his food with his head down like a dog eating its food.

“Thanks to people like you, our children can eat such good quality and delicious food. Isn’t that right?”

The girl who was touched by Yang Mi-ryeo’s hand flinched as if she had been shocked by electricity and started hiccupping.

“……That’s right. Director. Thank you.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Shinwoo noticed Yang Miryeo’s gaze flashing coldly even in that brief moment.

The aura that ordinary people cannot have is an aura that only those who have harbored evil for a long time can exude.

‘When poison builds up, it naturally shows up outside.’

I left the restaurant and checked out the dormitory.

As expected, it is neatly organized without a speck of dust.

“Is it okay for children to stay here?”

“Yes. Of course.”

“It’s so clean for something like that. You don’t usually let guests sleep somewhere else and only stay here when they come over, do you?”

Yang Mi-ryeo didn’t lose her smile even at Shin-woo’s sudden question.

“Oh, sir, you’re good at joking. It’s because we moved into the dormitory not long ago. The number of new residents has increased a lot recently.”

“How many people are there?”

“120 people. Recently, there have been many children applying to high schools, so we desperately need help.”

As I sat down in the director’s office, a girl who looked like a native came with tea on a tray.

His pale, bloodless face looked overly tense.

I put down the car and sat down next to Shinwoo at Yang Miryeo’s wink.

“How old are you?”

“……I’m 18 years old.”

“I’m going to be an adult soon.”

Yang Mi-ryeo said with a knowing yet unknowing smile.

Only Choi Ji-sang does not understand its meaning.

“Good. We provide regular support of 100 million won every year. As for irregular support, we will observe the situation a little more.”

“Of course. You won’t be disappointed. Right, Yena?”

“……yes.”

After the basic conversation, Shinwoo and Jisang Choi left the orphanage, saying they had something to do.

Yang Mi-ryeo and the children stood like a folding screen and greeted them until they moved away.

“They are more disgusting than I thought.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

Even though he saw the same thing, Choi Ji-sang was unaware of what was happening there.

When he went around the orphanage, Shinwoo didn’t look at the children or their living quarters on the outside.

Rather, I looked behind the employees who were secretly blocking my view, such as the basement and other places.

“It’s too big for 120 people. There must be at least twice that many. The kids we saw were probably just for show.”

There is no sign of beatings or abuse.

However, I am mentally depressed.

Moreover, when Yena sat next to Shinwoo in the director’s office, her trembling was conveyed.

“You might be making demands on your children that they shouldn’t be making.”

“Hmm. Then what should we do?”

“We need to dig deeper into Yang Mi-ryeo and Saesomang Orphanage.”

Shinwoo ordered detective Oh Kyung-soo to find out about the children from this place, and ordered Oh Cheol-gi to search through everything from the orphanage’s visitors to the common mail.

And we investigated missing children from all over the country.

Considering the scale of the place, there are just too many children.

“Normally, you can’t do business with children by recruiting them. They have to use dirty tricks to fill that number somehow.”
