There is no villain in my return 171

“Now. Please stop.”

“What? Can you please stop?”

For a moment, his eyes turned red and he was filled with anger.

“Don’t you know how grateful you are to the father who raised you? Are you grown up now? Do you need to get beaten up like before to come to your senses?”

He twitched the bottle of soju in his hand as if he was about to swing it at any moment.

The father pushed Jeong Dong-hyeon’s chest with a soju bottle and picked up a notebook on the desk.

“That punk student doesn’t study as he’s told, he just doodles. He’s just like his stupid mother, that’s why he’s like this.”

While flipping through the pages, I came across a drawing that looked remarkably similar to me.

The similarity isn’t just in the drawing style.

One of the villains in the comic resembles him in that he does not hesitate to commit violence against his wife and children and even steals their money.

“Could this be me?”

“Why? Are you hurt?”

He glared at Jeong Dong-hyeon with his teeth clenched.

And then he tore the notebook to shreds right in front of him.

Jeong Dong-hyeon’s expression became blank as he watched the paintings being torn into hundreds of pieces.

“You idiot. Who would look at a picture of a bullied kid like you? When you graduate from school, think about going to a factory and making some money. Get your paycheck right away. Do you know what I mean?”

Jeong Dong-hyeon looks at the pictures scattered on the floor and feels as if something in his brain has snapped.

And what came was not anger or anything like that.

Rather, I felt at ease.

“Now I know why I was uncomfortable.”

“What is this kid talking about? Won’t he answer me straight?”

The soju bottle that was pushing against my chest was getting stronger.

Jeong Dong-hyeon looked down at his father’s face as he took a step back.

Although he feared and hated his father, he also believed that he could change.

I convinced myself that the only reason my father had become so violent was because he had failed badly in business or had been scammed.

But it was all just his own wish.

“Someone I respect said that. If you just step back, you won’t be able to move forward.”

“what?”

“If you want to change, you have to walk forward, not backward.”

His own father is in chains.

It is a swamp that holds the family back from moving forward.

Jeong Dong-hyeon’s gaze turned to his younger brother and his mother who had bought soju.

Just like his father, his face is dying black.

If your family is to change, you must change yourself.

Jeong Dong-hyeon walked forward briskly and stood in front of his father.

Unlike before, he has the power to stop it.

“Father, stop it now.”

“This pair is …….”

He held tightly to the bottle of soju he was about to swing.

“Don’t come home drunk and act up. And stop hitting your mom and sister. I can’t stand it anymore.”

“Can’t you stand it? What would you do if you couldn’t stand it?”

He pushed Jeong Dong-hyeon hard and swung the soju bottle.

But unlike usual, he neither avoids eye contact nor backs away.

The father, who was about to hit me, stumbled in surprise.

A bottle of soju passed by Jeong Dong-hyeon’s head.

His forehead was torn and blood flowed out.

“……You little punk…….”

“I won’t suffer this kind of violence anymore.”

Rather, it went one step closer.

He dropped the bottle of soju, startled by the dripping blood.

“If you live in a dead end, end it alone and don’t drag other family members into it.”

“……Where is that damn bastard…….”

His father turned away, avoiding eye contact.

I kicked the pillow on the floor for no reason and snatched the bag containing the soju bottle and the wallet that my mother was holding.

I took out a few ten thousand won bills from inside.

I laughed at the sight of the neatly folded lottery ticket.

“Do you have money to buy a lottery ticket? You stupid bitch.”

He threw the wallet containing the lottery ticket on the floor and ran outside.

“Tch. I’m not coming into this dirty house! I’m not coming!”

The family remained silent until the footsteps faded away.

And finally my little sister burst into tears.

Even though I usually pretend to be strong and go out, I’m still a girl.

I brought a towel and pressed it firmly against Jeong Dong-hyeon’s forehead.

“……Are you okay, oppa? Your head is bleeding!”

“It’s okay. I’ve been exercising a lot these days.”

“What does exercise have to do with this!”

After looking at the wounds for a while, the three family members hugged each other and cried.

Ironically, it was now that my father was gone that I felt the greatest love for my family.

After the nightmare went away.

The family gradually regained its place.

The younger sister bought a thick notebook and gave it to Jeong Dong-hyeon as a gift, and he was even more satisfied with the new drawings he was drawing.

And the greatest luck is… … .

“……Gyaaaaaaah!”

Jeong Dong-hyeon’s mother, who was watching television, screamed without realizing it.

The lottery ticket I received as a tip from a customer won first prize.

My hands were shaking.

“Dong-Hyeon. It seems like heaven is helping us now.”

After winning the lottery, the first thing I did was move to a nearby apartment.

It was around that time that I heard the news of my father’s death.

While crossing a bridge after drinking, I stumbled and fell down.

Even though I paid for the future, not many people came to visit.

The relatives who came to visit only asked useless questions like how much my father’s life insurance would cover.

“I cancelled all my insurance, so I don’t get a single penny.”

“okay?”

They felt regretful and quickly left.

Shinwoo came to see me that morning.

“Brother! How did you come here?”

“I heard from the manager. If something like this happens, you should tell your brother right away.”

“You’re busy, bro.”

It is currently gaining nationwide popularity as a documentary.

Wherever I went, people, both students and office workers, talked about Shinwoo.

Even my mother and younger sister, who don’t usually watch TV, opened their eyes wide when they saw Shinwoo.

“Nice to meet you for the first time. I am Kang Shin-woo.”

“Yes. I’ve heard a lot from Dong-hyun. Thank you for taking care of my son. I’ll prepare a meal for you right away.”

They brought so many side dishes that it seemed excessive at first glance.

Shinwoo, who ate everything without leaving anything behind, gave the money as a concession.

The money inside was a check for ten million won.

* * *

Shinwoo’s documentary aired over five weeks.

From the second week, a full-scale investigation began.

Shinwoo, Park Duyong, and Yoon Seok-hoon were captured on camera moving busily.

There were many scenes that couldn’t be filmed in the meantime, but the urgency of the situation was definitely felt.

In particular, the process of going to the Philippines to secure Kim Gook-hwan and Jang Bu is just like a movie.

[Prosecutor Kang Shin-woo, former special forces member? How do you subdue those guys?]

[I guess he’s a former military judge advocate? But his athletic ability is at the college entrance exam level? LOL]

[Entrance exams are a piece of shit. If I stood in front of those guys, I’d probably pee my pants ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[I think the cameraman director who followed me there and filmed it was more amazing than anyone else. Isn’t that an extreme job?]

Some dangerous scenes were covered with mosaics.

Hwang Gyeong-ho and Won Hong-gil were arrested before the large, swollen wound burst and started gushing pus.

The documentary ended with them wearing surgical suits along with Choi Ki-yeol.

There were countless posts on the Star Documentary program homepage asking for a documentary about the upcoming news.

PD Lee Ji-young added a second part to air about suspects who are on trial.

Contrary to the stigma of “Hell Joseon”, where the guilty are innocent and the innocent are guilty, they received extremely heavy sentences.

This is because public opinion continues to watch them.

The summer that was as hot as a documentary has passed and the season where clothes get thicker has arrived.

Shinwoo was promoted to chief prosecutor thanks to the power of public opinion.

Now he is in a position to investigate, with inspectors under him.

The year 2009 passed by and 2010 arrived.

The year started off noisily with heavy snowfall out of nowhere in January, and it was a very eventful year.

In February, the Constitutional Court made international news when it ruled that the death penalty was constitutional.

There, a naval patrol ship was sunk by a North Korean submarine, which greatly shook not only South Korea but also the international situation.

“Those North Koreans. Are they crazy? Are they trying to start a war like this?”

Amidst everyone’s worries and anger, GagaoTalk was carefully launched.

The initial reaction was lukewarm, but only Shinwoo knew of his future potential and stayed by his side.

“Just because you’re a representative investor, doesn’t mean you only say good things?”

“That’s impossible. In Korea, there’s no other messenger like this except GagaoTalk. You’ll get a response soon.”

Apple unveiled the iPhone 4 along with the launch of GagaoTalk.

At the same time, Osung Electronics also responded with its first smartphone, the Universe S.

The advent of smartphones has made the world move faster and faster.

After becoming a chief prosecutor, Shinwoo actually became more relaxed.

The inspectors under him took care of their work without him having to worry about each one individually.

When he comes out, it’s only big issues.

Thanks to this, Shinwoo was able to pay more attention to the work of Kangho Group.

“How is the Seoul R&D Campus progressing?”

It was created when Gyro Electronics was acquired and semiconductor production facilities were built.

We pursued research and development with the goal of discovering new growth engines and securing advanced technologies.

At first glance, it may seem like a place where money is just poured in without any results, but the direction is in Shinwoo’s head.

We have been conducting research on AI, Data Intelligence, Intelligent Machine, next-generation communication/media, and security technology for the past five years.

“Other executives often say that he is a money-eating hippopotamus. He has spent trillions of dollars over the past five years.”

In order to secure innovative technologies faster than anyone else, we conducted global R&D research with 20 overseas research institutes and 5 global AI centers in advanced countries around the world.

Furthermore, we have focused on securing technology standardization and patents with global leading universities, research institutes, and companies with the world’s best technology.

“I earn enough money to spend and still have some left over.”

That’s not wrong.

As the Korean stock market recovered quickly, they sold everything and turned their attention overseas.

Representative companies include Apple and the companies later known as the Magnificent Seven.

“Smartphones will be released all over the world and the world will change. We will produce semiconductors to prepare for that time.”

“More than now?”

Gyro Electronics CEO Gibson and Kangho Investment & Development CEO Michael Park looked at him with surprised eyes.

Korea, no, East Asia, has taken the number one spot in semiconductor production by producing an overwhelming amount.

“It seems like enough now. Smartphones will become widely available, and semiconductors will be used in computers and various mechanical equipment. Ten times? Even a hundred times is not enough.”

When the semiconductor boom happens, the next thing that comes next is AI and data centers.

In Shinwoo’s eyes, the world looked like a fallen lump of gold.

He distributed the materials he had prepared in advance.

“Our Kangho Group will prepare for the future in advance. We will build semiconductor production plants in Pyeongtaek and Hwaseong.”

The executives’ eyes widened at the enormous scale.

The investment amount alone exceeds 100 trillion won.

Of course, we do not intend to cover all of this amount solely with Kangho Group’s capital.

Some of the money will go to local and national governments.

“……Is it worth investing this much?”

Everyone was just looking at Shinwoo’s mouth.

“Of course. In 20 years. No, in just 10 years, Kangho Group will be the overwhelming number one in the semiconductor industry. Trust me.”

None of the executives would disagree with Shinwoo’s words.

Kangho Group’s large-scale investment once made headlines.

But it was soon diluted by other news and passed as an issue.

And on May 22, 2010.

A man in Florida made the first Bitcoin transaction in history by ordering two pizzas for 50,000 Bitcoins.

Shinwoo smiled after confirming this.

History moved slowly and steadily, as he knew it.
