There is no villain in my return 139

Shinwoo and Choi Jisang climbed the mountain holding shovels.

After that, Oh Cheol-gi and Kangho Investment Development employees followed.

It is a rough terrain that requires 30 minutes of climbing after getting off the car.

Choi Ji-sang said, wiping the sweat from his face.

“Phew. Does it remind you of the old days?”

“Garlic field?”

I had a hard time like this when I went to the garlic fields in Jeonnam to dig for money.

What’s different from that time is that this time it’s a hot summer.

“Hwang Hyeon might have lied.”

“If you lied in that situation, you have to admit it.”

Brothers Hwang Hyeon and Hwang Jun were admitted to the hospital together.

Without painkillers, I couldn’t sleep and screamed incessantly.

In particular, Hwang Jun, who was a drug addict, had a tolerance to painkillers and sleeping pills and did not respond properly.

Every day, he repeatedly begged and threatened doctors and nurses to give him drugs.

“Even so, there’s no way I could do anything with both my severed hands.”

It was a long climb up under the hot sun.

I found the large pine tree that Hwang Hyeon had mentioned.

A red ribbon is tied to the branch.

If you walk 50m to the right from the pine tree, you will come across a flat area.

On the outside it looks like nothing special.

“Okay, everyone, let’s hurry.”

“Yes, sir!”

About ten workers divided the area and started digging.

The ground is soft because it just rained.

As he went down to his knees, a heavy metallic sound came from Oh Cheol-gi’s shovel as it dug deep into the ground.

Kaang-

When we cleared away the dirt, we found a heavy iron plate nearly 2m wide and 2m long.

Beneath it there is an underground space made of cement.

“Wow, they thought of building something like this on a mountainside like this.”

“If you didn’t even tell your blood brothers, then no one must have believed you.”

The chains attached to the iron plate were pulled simultaneously.

An unpleasant friction sound echoed, revealing the space below.

The smell of rotting money wafted past Shinwoo’s nose.

“You moved a lot by yourself.”

Items are stacked on the pallet by type.

It was wrapped in a kimchi bag to protect against moisture.

The first thing that catches your eye is a 10kg gold bar.

About 40 gold bars, each larger than the palm of one’s hand, are neatly stacked.

Chorrrruk-

When I put the envelope away, it sparkled in the sunlight.

“Even if we take 500 million each, it would be around 20 billion?”

“Sir, here are the dollars.”

A bundle of hundred dollar bills is stacked up to his waist.

Next to it are fake passports and counterfeit ID cards from various countries.

Hwang Hyeon was already preparing to run away.

The last briefcase he checked contained the anonymous shares Shinwoo was looking for.

If you calculate the money here excluding the shares, it is at least 30 billion.

“It’s so sad to think about how I crawled up here alone every time I had time.”

Contrary to what he said, there was a smile on his face.

“Let’s pack everything and go down before it gets dark.”

I filled the bag I had prepared to the brim and wrapped the remaining items in a kimchi bag and dragged them down.

It was divided into three Starex vehicles.

The destination is the headquarters of Kangho Investment Development.

In the car, Choi Ji-sang glanced at Shin-woo and asked.

“What are you going to do with this money?”

“There’s a lot to do. First, shouldn’t we make up for the terrible things they’ve done?”

I was going to do it even though I didn’t have any money in the safe.

Shinwoo first sent the children from Saesomang Orphanage back to their families, and then tried to tear down the place and establish the Gangho Welfare Foundation.

There is no need to worry about a lack of funds as a portion of Kangho Investment Development’s profits will be invested and used for operation.

“A welfare foundation. That’s a good idea.”

“Right? In that sense, I would like you to take charge of this welfare foundation.”

“I?”

I was surprised by the completely unexpected suggestion.

The car entered the tunnel, covering Choi Ji-sang’s surprised face.

It may sound like I’m saying this out of the blue, but it’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time.

Unlike other fields, charity work does not require business skills.

The top priority is to provide practical and thoughtful care to ensure that children receive welfare.

Choi Ji-sang isn’t the only one around Shin-woo who has such feelings.

“I know that most of the money you earn goes to charity.”

“Because I have nowhere to spend the money.”

“So from now on, you’re telling me to do things properly with the company’s money.”

Even in the darkness, Choi Ji-sang’s worried face was visible.

“It doesn’t matter how much it costs. Even if we spent 10 times the amount of money currently being spent on daycare centers, it wouldn’t even be 1% of what I earn.”

If the money is to be spent anyway, it is better for Choi Ji-sang, who knows the reality of welfare projects well, to use it himself.

“I…… am not very smart.”

“You can hire as many people as you want who are smart. We have Olivia, and you can leave the legal issues to Donghae Law Firm. As for you…….”

Shinwoo pointed to Choi Jisang’s chest.

“Just focus on it. Leave the rest to me.”

Inside a car speeding down the road.

As we entered the tunnel, silence descended as the room became dark.

And when they finally got out of the tunnel, Choi Ji-sang looked at Shin-woo and nodded.

There was confidence in his eyes as bright as the sunlight.

“Okay. Let’s try it.”

“I thought about it carefully.”

As soon as Shinwoo returned to the company, he met with Park Michael, the CEO of Kangho Investment Development.

“As instructed by the CEO, we are investing primarily in companies whose value has declined.”

“I didn’t call you today to talk about that. I wanted to do some charity work.”

Michael stroked his bushy beard.

“Hmm. You mean charity? I understand that they already spend a considerable amount of money every year. It may be a good way to improve the company’s image, but it won’t have much effect on Kangho Investment Development, which is an unlisted company.”

Even when doing charity work, businessmen think of the benefits first.

But there is no such thing as effective charity in the world.

“It’s not for the image. We’ll pool the money and run a separate welfare foundation. The initial investment amount is 30 billion won. We’ll support 1% of Kangho Investment Development’s profits every year.”

“Hmm.”

Michael’s sobs became longer.

It’s bigger than you think.

But it’s not to the extent that it’s unmanageable.

Even if the current holding amount exceeds that, the company will not be shaken.

“Do you plan on taking charge of the foundation yourself?”

“No, we have experts.”

Shinwoo glanced at Choi Jisang and said.

“Ah. If you’re Executive Director Choi Ji-sang, then I can trust you.”

After telling the company’s key personnel, the foundation’s establishment progressed rapidly.

The company was created before the building was even built.

There is a welcoming atmosphere even in places that were previously receiving support as it has changed to regular sponsorship.

And it wasn’t just them who benefited from this.

Lee Ye-na, who was a member of the Saesomang Orphanage, became independent six months early.

It was also what she wanted, as the orphanage, full of terrible memories, was being closed down and a new welfare foundation was being built.

I ended up staying in a small studio apartment supported by the government, but I am very satisfied.

There is freedom here.

Wheeeeeeing-

Lee Ye-na, who was about to go out, checked her phone text message.

[I miss you, Sister. Can I go see you this weekend?]

[Worship]

A smile appeared on my face when I saw the text.

Gyungbae, like the other kidnapped children, returned to a warm home.

The image of Wolbae crying in the arms of his parents, whom he had longed for so much, came to mind.

After returning home, Gyeongbae continued to keep in touch with Lee Ye-na.

[Yeah. Of course. I’ll buy you something delicious.]

I sent a reply and went out of the house.

The cherry blossoms had fallen and the sun was hot, but there was a faint scent of flowers in the air.

Her attire is formal, unlike when she usually goes to work.

These are the clothes I bought to prepare for the interview at the welfare foundation today.

The Saesomang Orphanage was demolished and a welfare foundation was built in its place.

A large company said they would support me and started recruiting new employees.

There was quite a bit of talk about the decision not to look at academic background, unlike other corporate recruitments.

Lee Ye-na also applied just in case, and was thrilled when she passed the document screening.

“I hope it goes well.”

The place that Lee Ye-na arrived at by bus was the headquarters of Kangho Investment Development.

My mouth dropped open as I looked up at the magnificent building on the 12th floor.

“……Wow. It’s big.”

As we entered the building, an employee guided us to the interviewer waiting room.

There are dozens of applicants sitting besides himself.

There are applicants with flashy appearances wearing expensive-looking suits, and there are also those who speak foreign languages.

I felt intimidated for no reason and had to go to the bathroom.

As I got up from my seat and entered the bathroom, I saw the applicants talking to each other.

“Jooyeon-ah. Aren’t there a lot of applicants today?”

“That’s right. It’s because they all pass the document screening, whether it’s a dog or a cow. You just have to hit what you need.”

I don’t know if it’s just a feeling, but it seems like the women’s eyes are scanning Lee Ye-na.

“I had high expectations for this company because I heard it was a fast-growing mid-sized company, but I’m a little disappointed.”

“Aren’t you going to go to a big company after building up some experience anyway?”

“That could be true. If you give me a big project, I can just stay here. I heard this company has a lot of cash on hand.”

“Well, this is my fourth affiliate.”

Lee Ye-na washed her hands and looked in the mirror.

Lee Ju-yeon, who was standing next to him and staring blankly, wiped the dust off his shoulder with her finger.

“Ah…… thank you.”

“Next time, I’ll get it dry cleaned before the interview. At least for the sake of the other interviewees.”

Another woman who was talking next to me burst into laughter.

Lee Ye-na left the bathroom with her face red and unable to say anything.

My eyes are red and I feel like I’m going to cry at any moment.

As I was forcibly lowering my head and enduring the pain, someone came walking toward me from across the hallway.

And then he stopped in front of Lee Ye-na.

“You were here.”

When I raised my head, I saw a tall man.

“……Inspector? How is it here?”

“Ah. I know someone. I came to see you while I was here.”

Shinwoo took a handkerchief out of his bosom and handed it to her.

“But why are you crying? Who is bothering you again? Should I scold you?”

I burst out laughing without realizing it.

And he shook his head.

It was the first time I felt how powerful it was to have someone cheering you on.

“No. I guess I was just scared.”

“What’s there to be afraid of? It’s just an interview.”

“Still, it’s my first time.”

“If you’re really worried, imagine that all the interviewers in front of you are bald. Then you’ll feel less nervous.”

Two women came out of the bathroom where Lee Ye-na had just been.

They looked at Shinwoo and returned to the waiting room in mild surprise.

“Yena, I should go now. Do well in your interview and contact me right away if anything comes up.”

“Yes, inspector. Thank you. I’ll wash the handkerchief later.”

Shinwoo patted her shoulder and walked to the elevator.

Lee Ye-na is in group 12, ironically the same group as the two people who ignored her.

“Group 12, please come in.”

“Whew. You can do it.”

As I entered the interview room, there were six interviewers sitting in a row.

In the very center, a particularly large man and an old man with white hair stood out.

‘… … Let’s think of him as bald. Bald.’

I said hello and sat down on the chair.

Lee Ye-na is in the very last seat.

“Please each take one minute to introduce yourself.”

The interviewees’ qualifications were all outstanding.

In particular, Lee Joo-yeon, who sat right next to Lee Ye-na, introduced herself using foreign languages.

He graduated from a foreign language high school and was admitted to a prestigious university in Korea.

“I heard about your company while studying at Stanford University as an exchange student. It was said to be the only Asian company that was profitable in a place where even famous real estate companies in the U.S. had a hard time surviving. I thought that a welfare foundation run by Kangho Investment Development would definitely do a lot of meaningful work.”

“Hmm. With Ms. Lee Ju-yeon’s qualifications, wouldn’t Kangho Investment Development be a better fit than the welfare foundation?”

“I am a volunteer who can do my job 100% anywhere. I will always keep an open mind.”

He was as confident as his specs.

Next up is Lee Ye-na.

There wasn’t much to introduce, just like my shabby resume.

It was over in less than a minute.

The personal questions that followed were not directed at Lee Ye-na.

Looking at your resume, there’s really nothing to ask about.

Lee Ye-na just bit her lips tightly as she listened to Lee Ju-yeon’s answer right next to her.

It feels like I’ve become a screen for the successful.

Just before the interview ended.

The large interviewer sitting in the middle, Choi Ji-sang, raised his hand.

“Chief, do you have anything to say…?”

The interviewers were surprised to see that the director was younger than expected.

“Ah. Yes. It’s nothing, Ms. Lee Ye-na.”

“yes!”

“When will you be able to come to work?”

“……yes?”

She blinked for a moment and then answered urgently.

“It’s possible starting today!”

“Didn’t you say you were working part-time?”

“……It’s okay if you ask for the circumstances!”

“That’s good.”

I left the interview room with a dumbfounded look on my face.

Kim Tae-seok, who was sitting right next to me, snickered.

“Is that the kid the representative was talking about?”

“Yes. He said he wanted to give me a chance. I would like to do the same.”

“You look nice.”

Lee Ye-na passed with a free pass.

I was so happy to receive the text that I sent it to Shinwoo.

[Inspector, it’s Yena! I passed! I’ll return the handkerchief later and buy you something delicious!]

Shinwoo chuckled.

There was no separate reply.

The place he entered was the hospital room where Hwang Hyeon was admitted.

As he opened the door and entered, Hwang Hyeon, with a gaunt face, looked at him.

Most of his body is in a cast, like a plaster statue.

“You have something to say to me?”
