Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 394 Popularity
The impact of Li You being taken away is still spreading.

His public opinion management company, under the leadership of Park Min-young, is madly dominating the Internet.

As the main force of Internet users, college students are naturally led by the rhythm in this network environment.

Not to mention that on weekdays, the company releases good news on the forum, subtly changing their views on Li You.

The day after Li You was taken away, at noon in Seoul, the sun shone on the spacious square in front of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office.

A storm of justice is brewing in the square in front of the Supreme Procuratorate.

Led by law students from Seoul National University, more and more college students began to gather here.

The crowd initially held signs with slogans written in Korean and English.

"Justice must not be trampled upon!"

"Oppose prosecutors becoming private tools!"

The law students had serious and determined expressions. They all wore university badges on their chests, and their eyes revealed determination.

As the number of students increased, the atmosphere in the square became increasingly tense, but the prosecutors from the Supreme Procuratorate never showed up. They just hid inside the Procuratorate and never went out.

Although there were many students, they did not cause any disturbance and were very orderly.

They spontaneously gathered in the square, holding up banners and sitting in protest.

The police did arrive, but there was nothing they could do about them.

The sun in October was not too strong and the weather was not too cold. It was a mild day and the students could sit still.

After they gathered, the media quickly rushed to the scene, and Xiancheng Daily arrived here almost at the same time as them.

Media vehicles gradually occupied the perimeter of the square, cameras and microphones were pointed at the sit-in students, and reporters were eager to report to the entire audience on the Korean Peninsula.

The camera is now capturing everything happening in the square, and it is not difficult to find that the reporters on the scene are adding fuel to the fire.

But what they spread is exactly what Kinmen needs them to convey, and what the public wants to see.

"Shit!" The Attorney General had just returned from the National Assembly meeting and was in the Great Procuratorate. "Go and call Liu Bingxian over!"

Another prosecutor under him sighed and nodded silently.

When Chief Prosecutor Liu Bingxian, who was in charge of the case, arrived here, Chief Prosecutor Song Xianyun glared at him.

"Are you crazy? Who told you to bring President Li here?"

"Just cooperating with the investigation."

"Of course I know it's to cooperate with the investigation," Song Xianyun said with a gloomy face, "Zhu Mengyong asked you to do this, so you really did it?"

"Didn't you think about the consequences?"

Liu Bingxian's face was bitter, "General Manager, there is nothing I can do."

"My son is attending the best school in the United States. Doesn't the Minister know how much it costs?"

He stared at Song Xianyun, "Isn't the director's daughter also studying in England?"

Their children are not just going to study in an ordinary school. All the miscellaneous expenses added up are not enough even if they hold high positions.

Song Xianyun sneered, "Are you threatening me?"

"I don't have that ability, I'm just stating a fact," Liu Bingxian said frankly, "Collecting money is important to us, everyone is doing it, and it was the big camp that helped me get here."

"Can prosecutors who are poor and have no background really become prosecutors?"

"Come on," Song Xianyun also understood in his heart, "You are just a puppet, just release him and resign."

He sighed, "This way I can still keep the pressure on you, otherwise you'll probably have to spend who knows how many years in jail."

Liu Bingxian sat down silently and drank several sips of water to calm down.

"Actually," Liu Bingxian shook his head, "I can't release him." He added, "Based on the public opinion and the time you called me in Congress, I was going to release him."

"It was President Li who refused to leave."

Song Xianyun, who also started drinking water, spit out a mouthful of water, "He's not leaving?"

Liu Bingxian sat on the sofa, covering his head in frustration, "You always know me, Chief."

“I’ve never been a very tough person.”

"The reason why we dared to bring President Li here is because the camp guaranteed that there would be no problems."

"They said they would just release him after a few days of detention."

Liu Bingxian's face was filled with despair as he recalled the time when he took Li You away.

Li You looked calm and composed, even with a smile on his face, without any surprise.

"As soon as you called, I was going to let him go, but Chairman Li said that the matter was not over yet and he would not leave."

"You said you wanted to protect me, but I'm afraid you can't do that."

Song Xianyun sighed, closed his eyes and thought, then he stood up and patted Liu Bingxian on the shoulder, "I'll go talk to President Li."

The interview room in the Seoul Supreme Prosecutors' Office is called an interview room, but it actually looks exactly like an interrogation room.

There is a square lamp on the ceiling, emitting a cold light.

Li You sat at the table, facing a huge one-way transparent glass, from which he could see every subtle movement in every corner of the room from the outside.

Li You sat quietly, his face calm and his manners elegant. It seemed that he was not in a depressing interrogation room, but in a roadside restaurant.

I say this because he ordered a beef soup with rice and is now eating it slowly with a spoon.

Although it is a very common food on ordinary days, this beef soup with rice is not simple. It was ordered by Li Youhua with the money of the Procuratorate.

He could order something more expensive, even if it was a five-star restaurant, the prosecutor would deliver it if he asked for it, but he just wanted to eat the soup and rice from this restaurant.

The two prosecutors stared at Li You through the thick glass, helplessness evident in their eyes.

Song Xianyun didn't even say hello to them. He just pushed the door open and walked in, sitting opposite Li You.

The law enforcement cameras here have been turned off for a long time, so nothing can be transmitted.

Li You ignored him, and Song Xianyun did not speak rashly. Instead, he waited until Li You finished his meal before speaking with a smile.

"President Li," Song Xianyun said with mixed feelings, "Did you eat well?"

"Thank you for your care," Li You lit a cigarette from his pocket. "The Attorney General will come to interrogate the suspect in person?"

"President Li, you're joking," Song Xianyun said with a smile, "It's just a misunderstanding. You know, we don't have the final say on some matters."

Li You raised an eyebrow, "What misunderstanding?"

"I'm not a suspect?"

"Of course not," Song Xianyun cursed Zhu Mengyong behind Liu Bingxian in his heart.

He sighed, "President Li, how do you think this matter should be handled best?"

"Isn't this your job as prosecutors?" Li You sneered.

The smile on Song Xianyun's face finally disappeared, and his expression became stiff. "Chairman Li is unwilling to let Liu Bingxian go?"

In Song Xianyun's previous conversations with Li You, he had always hoped that Li You would give up the pursuit and quickly go out to settle the matter.

But Li You's meaning was also very clear, "Not just him, but also the main camp."
