Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 69 Investigation
Han Jiangzhi is worthy of being called, being able to bend and stretch is the sign of a real man, but he is also right, Li You really needs his power.

"Of course, no problem," Li You said with a smile, "Besides, haven't we always been working together?"

"That's right," Han Jiangzhi said with a hint of joy, "If that's the case."

"Deputy Minister Han, do we want to talk about things so late?" Li You interrupted his spell.

Han Jiangzhi paused for two seconds and said, "Yes, I didn't think it through."

He thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll ask Prosecutor Park to pick you up in a few days to attend our gathering with friends?"

Of course Li You had no problem with this. He guessed that these so-called friends were the people in Han Jiangzhi's so-called mutual aid association.

It’s the realization that there are no gloves for the dirty work, and the desire to pull yourself aboard thoroughly.

He hung up the phone and the room was dark.

It is not difficult to understand what Han Jiangzhi meant. He saw through the current situation of Jiangnan Industry and took advantage of this to invite Li You. Since they were on the same pirate ship, to expose him would be to expose himself as well.

He wanted to prevent Li You from making a suicide truck, and also invite a strong arm. Compared with this, the destruction of the wild dogs was nothing.

"I heard that Prosecutor Park is now a candidate for director of the Southern District Prosecutors' Office?" Li You, who was sitting next to Park Tae-soo in the back seat, asked.

"Promoted by Vice Minister Han," Park Tae-soo showed a hint of joy on his face.

Li You nodded, "It seems that we will be able to call you Minister Park soon, but Prosecutor Park should not fall into it. Don't forget what we are going to do."

Park Tae-soo's hands trembled twice, "Of course."

"Tae-soo," Choi Doo-il, who was driving, said, "It's definitely better to trust the president than to trust Han Kang-sik. Don't forget what happened to me. Don't you think there's any difference between you and me in his heart?"

"Working for him, we are all pawns, not even pawns, we can only be dogs."

Park Tae-soo was silent for a while, then nodded, "I see, I was a little confused."

"I heard that you chose to stand on the side of the current commander-in-chief at that time. Did you make this choice by praying to God?"

He looked at Li You suddenly, very puzzled, "Representative Li, do you even know this?"

This is a top secret of their faction. Apart from the power turmoil brought about by the change of president, they are not afraid of anything else.

"It's better to rely on yourself than to rely on God, Prosecutor Park."

"Okay, these words are too serious," Li You patted Park Tae-soo's shoulder, "Why don't you tell me, what happened to Deputy Minister Han recently?"

“I didn’t follow him to the Central District Prosecutor’s Office, so I don’t know the specific reason.”

Park Tae-soo shook his head to get himself out of his emotions. "But he gave me a list. It should be part of the complete list. He told me to collect evidence secretly."

"What evidence?" Li You thought about what they did in the present time period of the original work and wanted to confirm it.

“Part of the campaign is officials and councillors from other parties.”

"Is it from Councillor Li's faction?"

Congressman Lee refers to Lee Yeon-chang, the former biggest rival of current President Kim Min-jung.

"Yes," Park Tae-soo recalled the content, "I was in charge of several former officials of the Ministry of National Security and a congressman."

"They were involved in mobilizing tax authorities to illegally raise campaign funds, which is a serious corruption case."

"I heard from Yang Dong-chul that he is in charge of investigating the remnants of the dictatorship and military regime that the president had previously pardoned."

Li You and Park Tae-soo looked at each other and asked, "Did Prosecutor Park find out anything?"

"Not yet," Park Tae-soo said in a distressed tone, "It's not that easy to search. They are all serious big shots. Even Han Jiangzhi is now oppressed by the courtesy of the former official."

"Courtesy for former officials? What is that?" It was Li You who answered Cui Douri's question again.

"Courtesy for former officials refers to an unspoken rule in the Korean legal community—"

"Unspoken rules?" Cui Dou Ri took a breath, "Is it what I thought it was?"

"Don't talk nonsense, Dou Ri." Li You glared at him.

"I'm so sorry, President!"

"This refers to judges, prosecutors, and high-ranking government officials who retire and switch to working as lawyers and consultants in law firms or large companies," Lee You took a look at Park Tae-soo.

"They still enjoy the same treatment as when they were in office, and these so-called seniors also use this method to exert their past influence to obtain preferential treatment in the resolution of various cases or problems."

"Ah," Choi Do-il scratched his head with one hand, "Can they still oppress the current prosecutor?"

"Of course," Park Tae-soo couldn't help but interrupt. He looked at Li You apologetically, and continued speaking after Li You's signal.

"These seniors gained benefits and acted as shields for those people."

“Do you think they only hinder prosecutors?” Park Tae-soo shook his head. “They also hinder tax and financial regulatory authorities.”

"In addition to hiring former judges and prosecutors, large law firms also hire former military generals and high-ranking police officers as consultants."

"They can infiltrate and lobby anywhere."

"Han Jiangzhi is now under pressure from Councillor Li and his group, asking us to investigate behind his back."

"Has no one thought about abolishing it?" It can be seen that Cui Dou Ri really doesn't understand.

"How can we abolish it? How many officials are enjoying its benefits now? Do you still want to abolish it?" Park Tae-soo laughed. "Do you want to be the enemy of the Republic of Korea?"

"That's right," Cui Douri thought for a moment, "There are so many seniors in our school, and we have to greet each other politely when we meet in the future."

"Prosecutor Park has said so much, he probably wants me to help him, right?" Li You put a cigarette in his mouth.

Park Tae-soo came over with a lighter and lit it. "I think Han Jiangzhi will say it later, so why don't I explain it to Chairman Li first."

"Tell me," Li You held the cigarette between his legs and exhaled a puff of smoke, "Who do you want me to help investigate?"

"Councilman Li's confidant, Councilman Yan Xianqi."

"We have published some negative news in the newspapers, but it is impossible to bring him down with these."

"This kind of thing couldn't have been initiated by Han Jiangzhi himself. There are still people above who want to take action against him." Li You shook the cigarette in his hand, and a few wisps of ashes fell outside the window.

"Yeah," Park Tae-soo nodded, "and the development company behind him may be involved with other forces, just like when Sunlight Real Estate helped the Huangshui Gang."

"That's why you wanted to ask me for help."

“Yes,” he nodded, “I guess Han Jiangzhi thinks so too.”

"Okay," Li You threw the cigarette out of the car, "I'll agree first and see what conditions Han Jiangzhi will come up with. You can cooperate with him then."

Park Tae-soo heaved a sigh of relief. "It's good that Representative Li is willing to help. I will do my best after I get in."

"You can ask Han Jiangzhi what his bottom line is first," Li You put his elbow on the car door, "I need to know his psychological expectations before I can make an offer."

"I will. I will remind Representative Li then."

Cui Douri stepped on the brakes and said, "I almost drove too far just by listening to what you two were saying."
