Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 656 Onslaught
Although anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was an organized and premeditated targeting aimed at ruining the Tianxia Group's family reputation, the Tianxia Group was still forced into this quagmire.

The legal department of Tianxia Group is not there to sit there and do nothing, they still found a way to change the subject.

The head of the legal department of Tianxia Group was once a well-known prosecutor. He later retired and became a lawyer. He accepted a contract with Tianxia Group and became the head of the legal department of the group. At the press conference held by Tianxia Group, he said in a deep voice: "The content of this video has been altered. The content is false and maliciously exaggerated. Distributing such videos without the consent of the parties involved is an act that violates the laws of the Korean Peninsula and can be punished by up to seven years in prison or a fine of 50 million won."

"I implore everyone not to continue to circulate the relevant video and to protect the privacy of the two parties involved."

The words and deeds downplayed the fact that Kim Young-jun had an affair with an actress during his marriage, and instead directed the blame on the illegal dissemination of the video.

"We have confirmed that the video was first circulated on the Internet. Although we cannot trace its source, we will prosecute the owner of the account that has been forwarded most frequently."

But even so, it couldn't stop the matter from developing more and more vigorously within a few days.

The spectators were going crazy with joy, while those who were just looking for fun took the opportunity to fan the flames and act sarcastic.

The entire network was in complete chaos.

The Tianxia Group cannot seek help from others because taking sides between the Kinmen Group and the Tianxia Group is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous thing.

Especially now that both sides may have become really angry.

Even the powerful politicians on the Korean Peninsula have to shrink back, and Cho Tae-sub is no exception.

They know very well whether the video is real or not. They value their reputation more than any other family in the world. Stepping in at this time is equivalent to trapping themselves.

The weather outside is gloomy and hot, but it's not raining yet.

In the top floor conference room of Tianxia Group, cigar smoke surrounded Jin Jianying.

At this point, he could only rely on cigars to stay awake, and he didn't care about the precautions of the medicine he took.

The smoke floated onto the projector directly opposite the conference table, which was now displaying the plummeting stock price curve of Tianxia Group in real time.

This is also one of the reasons why the chaebols on the Korean Peninsula attach great importance to family reputation.

Anything that would dampen investor confidence could cause the share prices of the chaebol groups involved to plummet.

This kind of distrust was already foreshadowed when Kim Young-jun was brought to the Procuratorate at the instruction of Lee You last time.

Due to Kim Young-jun's scandals and style, investors are concerned about the stability of management and succession, and are naturally unwilling to continue holding the group's shares for the long term.

"Chairman," the person from Tianxia Group's Public Opinion Department turned a laptop computer in front of him towards Jin Jianying and said, "At present, Kinmen is still using its media and advertising resources to promote the spread of this news. Do you think we should contact the Ministry of Law?"

In theory, this behavior is an abuse of media power and can be subject to legal proceedings and industry sanctions through the Media Arbitration Act.

But Jin Jianying was a little confused at the critical moment, not because of the current situation. He was used to the ups and downs. He had experienced this kind of thing when he fought with Chen Yangzhe. He was panicked because he always felt that something else would happen.

"Kim Young-jun hasn't made any movement yet?"

"Yes." Hearing Jin Jianying calling her son by his full name without even saying 'Yongjun', the secretary did not dare to say anything, but just explained for Jin Jianying: "Yongjun representative is in his apartment and has not gone out."

"According to the current situation, staying indoors is the right choice."

"And that actress, too?"

"Yes," the secretary nodded repeatedly, "She has not shown up either, but her residence has been exposed and the media reporters have surrounded it. We can't go in and control her."

"Contact her again," Jin Jianying said, exhausted, closing his eyes and resting, "Make sure she keeps her mouth shut, and we can set new conditions."

If the actress had been dealt with before it aroused public opinion, her death would have been silent, at most causing a wave of regret among the people. But it is really not possible now.

The entire Korean Peninsula knew that the eldest son of Tianxia Group was having an affair with her, and something happened at this time.
Without disturbing Jin Jianying who was resting with her eyes closed, the secretary quickly got up and went to the end of the meeting room, licking his cracked lips while dialing the phone.

But the phone rang for a long time and no one answered, so the secretary felt something was strange.

When he turned around again, he saw that the expressions of the people in the Public Opinion Department in the conference room began to change, and they were whispering to each other from time to time.

The secretary realized that the situation might be getting worse, so he strode over to one of them, looked at the screen on his computer, then snatched the headphones and put them on himself.

This footage is a live broadcast from a Seoul media outlet. In the footage, the asphalt road in Seoul is severely exposed to the sun. The actress has walked out of the door of the luxury apartment building and appeared in front of the media.

The flash light started flashing instantly, and her eyes turned red, not sure if it was because of the flash or because she was sad.

The actress staggered back half a step, holding onto the handrail at her side.

Reporters rushed forward with their recorders and microphones, and not only the road in front of the apartment building, but even the road behind it was packed.

"Ms. Cheng Yingmei, please answer a few questions!" The reporter's microphone almost poked her trembling lips.

"Did you know that Representative Kim Young-jun is engaged?"

"When did your relationship with him begin?"

"What is the truth about your relationship?"

As the reporters asked questions, Cheng Yingmei stared blankly at the microphone, her nails digging deep into the flesh of her palms. She opened and closed her lips three times before she uttered, "It was coercion."

As soon as these words were spoken, the secretary in front of the laptop felt dizzy.

The scene was in an uproar, reporters' cameras were frantically focused, and the mobile phone screens of the people who were paying attention to this incident were filled with multiple hot search terms that were almost the same.

"Is what you say true?"

"Do you have any evidence of coercion?"

Cheng Yingmei suddenly grabbed the nearest microphone, and her haggard appearance was reflected in the camera that was almost close to her face: "It was after a dinner party, I..."

As she spoke, Cheng Yingmei saw her fragmented reflection multiplying in countless cameras. Each frame was live broadcasting the tears in the corners of her eyes. The tail end of the sound was quickly shredded by the continuous shutter sounds.

After the interview, Cheng Yingmei struggled back into the apartment door. The security guard of the luxury apartment building diligently stopped the reporters who wanted to rush in, allowing her to escape.

After returning to her apartment, Cheng Yingmei stumbled onto the sofa and then slid onto the carpet.

"Do you know why Kim Young-jun didn't show up?" Cheng Yingmei once again thought of the phone call she received last night and his words.

"Because you are the real public figure, as long as all the cameras are focused on you, Jin Yongjun will just need to come out and apologize.

Today's society is indeed sensitive to the privileges of chaebols, and scandals may exacerbate their dissatisfaction with the chaebol class, just like the current public opinion storm. However, as long as the chaebol family involved reorganizes its internal power, such as canceling the eldest son's inheritance rights, and then publicly apologizes to save its image, half of the blame will be put on you, and you can hide away. At best, he is just a person with poor personal ethics, but you
Your career is still on the rise, and you are the mistress of the eldest son of a chaebol? If you don't handle this matter well, it will directly destroy your career. The Korean Peninsula has double standards for scandals between men and women of different status. The male actors in Chungmuro ​​can't bear much impact no matter how much they play, but you can't. Think about the online violence you will face, and then think about your future. "

Without hesitation, Cheng Yingmei quickly dialed the number.

"Have you decided to make a choice that is in your favor?"

"As you said," Cheng Yingmei said tremblingly, "put my 'sin' on him."

"I did everything you asked me to do!"

Cui Douri stretched lazily on the other end of the phone and said, "I've seen it. You did a great job."

"Next," Cui Douri said according to Li You's instructions, "Go to the Procuratorate tomorrow to accept the investigation."

"You will be escorted to the Seoul Southern District Prosecutor's Office."

Cheng Yingmei curled up on the carpet, still feeling confused and helpless.

In the conference room, Jin Jianying had already seen the contents on the screen.

The cold light from the screen reflected on Jin Jianying's face. His skinny fingers tightly grasped the armrests of the chair, and his veins bulged like earthworms wriggling.

Cheng Yingmei's voice was playing in a loop in the video.

"You bastard." The gold-rimmed teacup was swept to the ground. Jin Jianying didn't know whether he was scolding his eldest son Jin Jianying, or Cheng Yingmei who had just been interviewed, or Li You who planned all these things.

In short, Jin Jianying's hoarse voice had just squeezed out of his throat when he suddenly started coughing violently. While coughing, he loosened his hands that were holding the armrest and instead covered his chest with his hands.

"President!" Amid the secretary's exclamation, Jin Jianying hunched over and spat a mouthful of dark red blood onto the computer screen in front of him, with blood drops sliding down the screen.

When the medical staff rushed in, Jin Jianying's lips had already turned a little purple and were still trembling nervously.

The fact that Jin Jianying fell seriously ill again and was sent to the hospital could not be concealed. The reporters stationed at the gate of Tianxia Group were very sharp-eyed and it was impossible to hide it from them.

The news quickly spread to everyone in the Tianxia family, and everyone began to rush to the hospital.

Even Kim Young-jun, who had been staying indoors all this time, squeezed out of the crowd of reporters and headed to the hospital under the protection of security guards.

The reporters' questions were more pointed than each other.

"Did you do it to Miss Cheng Yingmei?"

"Is it because of you that President Jin Jianying has relapsed?"

Jin Yongjun ignored those questions. In fact, he was also very angry about what happened today and wanted to settle accounts with that bitch.

But now is not the time to be entangled,
If Jin Jianying really died from a relapse of her old illness due to his anger, he would not be able to inherit any inheritance.

His younger brother, Kim Sung-jun, did work with him to deal with Kim Hee-ya, but once he loses power, the first person to kick him in the ass will definitely be Kim Sung-jun himself.

When he arrived at the hospital, Jin Jianying was still receiving emergency treatment in the emergency room, while the others had arrived early.

Liu Caiyan and Jin Xiya, mother and daughter, Jin Shengjun, two uncles, and Jin Jianying's personal secretary.
Seeing him coming, everyone else had a stern face and didn't say a word of good words. Only Jin Xiya stood up and walked over. Liu Caiyan wanted to pull her but failed.

Just as Jin Yongjun was about to say something softly, Jin Xiya slapped him in the face.

"Jin Xiya! Are you crazy?" Jin Yongjun glared at her.

"You are crazy. Jin Yongjun, you'd better pray that dad is okay, otherwise I will never forgive you, and you will pay the price." Jin Xiya looked at him coldly and walked back to Liu Caiyan.

To be fair, Liu Caiyan felt a little guilty.

After all, it was she who discovered the fact that Kim Young-jun was cheating and passed the news to Jeon Jae-jun. Finally, it was Choi Doo-il's people who had prepared for the secret filming in that hotel in advance. This kind of work is commonplace for Choi Doo-il's people, and no hotel can stop them.

Although Li You did not intervene throughout the process, Liu Caiyan knew that she was the culprit.

Jin Yongjun covered his face and just felt ridiculous.

"You guys think so too?" Jin Yongjun covered his face and sneered. He looked at the people outside, "Are you clean now?"

“One by one.”

"Sheng Jun, do you remember the model we played with a few months ago to get closer to each other? Who helped you settle the case when the two uncles solicited prostitutes at home a few years ago?"

"Liu Caiyan," Jin Yongjun panted, "Guess why Jin Xiya was forced by the president to study abroad?"

"Because your affair outside was exposed, how clean are you?"

"You don't have the guts to go to Li You for what happened today, so you just turn your back on me?" Jin Yongjun gritted his teeth, "I'm just the first step in his targeting Tianxia Group. Just wait and see!"

Of course Li You got the news.

This was not his intention.
To be more precise, he didn't expect the effect to be so good. It could actually wear down Jin Jianying's mind and send her straight to the hospital, and she even needed emergency treatment.

Li You specifically called the Chief Prosecutor of the Southern District Prosecutor's Office. This person was a direct subordinate of Chief Prosecutor Cho Chang-sik and was well aware of the relationship between Li You and Cho Chang-sik. "Chairman Li."

"Are you all ready?"

"We are ready," the chief prosecutor replied, "We are just waiting for Sung Young-mi to come for investigation tomorrow. Once Sung Young-mi arrives, we will immediately summon Kim Young-jun."

"Summon him?" Li You said calmly, "That's not a good idea."

"Kim Young-jun is now a suspect of rape after all, and must be treated seriously."

The Chief Prosecutor was stunned for a moment, but quickly responded, "I understand what you mean. The prosecutor handling the case..."

"Let Yang Dongzhe go."

"No problem," the Chief Prosecutor patted his chest and said, "Everyone knows Deputy Director Yang's ability and spirit. He will handle such a difficult case involving a big chaebol impartially and will definitely give justice to Miss Yingmei! He will also eliminate the evil!"

Although he is still just a criminal suspect, this means that Jin Yongjun will be sentenced.

"Okay, then I'll wait for good news."
