Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 85 I Will Be the Master (3.6K)

At the hospital, Jin Xixun, who was in charge of the investigation, felt quite sorry.

Han Jiangzhi must have evidence against the current Minister of Justice or even higher-ups. It would be a shame for him to die like this. He might have had a chance of survival if he had been arrested by them, but he insisted on trying to escape.

Now, you’ve been silenced, right?

Jin Xixun shook his head and stopped thinking about the dead man.

"Minister," the prosecutor under his command ran over, "We have searched all the items he brought with him. The recorder has been damaged. The damage is probably beyond repair."

"There was also a note that was pulled out from inside his suit. It seemed to be from Lishui."

"Besides, his cell phone is missing."

"You're still trying to sneak across the border," Jin Xixun sneered, and couldn't help but complain, "They killed the person and took away all his belongings. They did it really cleanly."

"Okay, you stay here," he waved his hand, "I'll go report to Councillor Zhao."

Although I didn't find anything that could further attack the other faction, it would be nice to get rid of Han Jiangzhi.

An hour had passed since Han Jiangzhi's death, and Yoon Hyun-woo called Li You.

"President," Yoon Hyunwoo's voice was calm, "The news that Han Kangzhi had a car accident in Garibongdong has spread everywhere, and reporters have surrounded the hospital."

"Got it. What about the Procuratorate?"

"It is said that several prosecutors were urgently investigated."

After hanging up the phone, Li You lit a cigarette and smoked leisurely while sitting in the boss chair.

Han Jiangzhi is dead, but the mission is not completed. It is obvious that he has not yet regained some of the power that Han Jiangzhi once had.

"Deputy Minister Han," Li You said, looking at the dispersing fog outside the window, "Have a safe journey."

Han Jiangzhi's death was truly not unjust. After all, he was not the Han Jiangzhi who would hold a higher position in the future.

The Garibong-dong road killer contacted by Ding Qing, the Hyunsung Daily commanded by Mou Xianmin, An Xiyan who controlled the Seoul JoongAng Ilbo, and Choi Changdi's former prosecutor subordinates.

In addition, the faction of Congressman Li, who failed in the election, and the newly promoted Congressman Zhao also cooperated very well, so he had no chance of survival.

Unless Li Youzhen helped him escape illegally.

As soon as Han Jiangzhi died, the first person to come and demand accountability was An Xiyan.

"Minister An," Li You answered the phone.

"Li You, did you do this?" An Xiyan questioned him angrily, "Don't you know that the captured Han Jiangzhi is of completely different value from the dead Han Jiangzhi!"

"What is Minister An talking about?" Li You tossed the dice in his hand. "Is Han Jiangzhi dead?"

Ahn Hee-yeon was originally preparing to take Baek Il-dong back to the Prosecutor's Office, but as soon as Han Kang-sik died, other places immediately folded as if they had agreed. Even her boss called and told her not to worry about the Seoul JoongAng Ilbo anymore.

She felt like vomiting when she recalled the tone of her superior's words on the phone earlier when he said "only the main culprit should be executed".

"Don't play dumb!" An Xiyan was so angry that she laughed, "Han Jiangzhi knows so many secrets, and now he can die just like that?"

She has always been known as a dog-skin plaster. She would withdraw her boss's orders as soon as he gave them, and continue the investigation without his orders.

In name, it is independent prosecutorial power, but in reality, those who are disobedient have long been sent to remote areas to catch thieves. But this time she was really angry.

"Minister An," Li You said calmly, "there's no need to get angry. Even if we catch him, what will happen? Even if he confesses to the prosecutor's office, what will happen? Before you start investigating those big shots with your status, you should prepare to take up your post on Jeju Island."

An Xiyan was silent for a few seconds and hung up the phone directly. He decided not to do business with this bad guy anymore. It would be a waste of time anyway.

Speaking of this operation, she must be the most disappointed person and the one who suffered the most.

Forty-eight hours later, the Prosecutor's Office's internal investigation of Park Tae-soo and other prosecutors from Han Kang-sik's group was finally completed.

Park Tae-soo walked out of the prosecutor's office and tiredly faced the reporters surrounding the prosecutor's office.

He handed over Han Jiangzhi's recorder to the Minister of Justice in advance, saving their lives temporarily. Fortunately, the people who urgently investigated them were the Minister of Justice's people, otherwise they would definitely be doomed.

Conversely, if you really want to survive, you have to hand in the other half of the recording. The recorder only contains half of the recording.

During these forty-eight hours, the hospital first announced Han Jiangzhi's death.

Lee Woo provided a large amount of evidence of Han Kang-sik secretly collecting illegal money, which was all made public by the Hyun-sung Daily newspaper and TV program. The amount of money was so large that it made the people who had experienced the economic crisis burst into curses.

Han Kang-sik, the former star prosecutor, became the sinner of the entire Republic of Korea in the eyes of the people with the cooperation of Hyun-sung Daily and Sae-lim Daily.

The Procuratorate also quickly went to Hankou Bank to verify. Even though Jin Dongxue of Hankou Bank had fled the country, the Procuratorate still quickly verified the authenticity of the evidence.

After Han Kang-sik's downfall, the first to bear the brunt were the prosecutors of the faction following Han Kang-sik. However, the core figure Park Tae-soo came out safe and sound, which naturally caused enthusiastic interviews from reporters.

"Prosecutor Park, is the evidence of Han Jiangzhi's crime real?"

"When will the Procuratorate announce Han Jiangzhi's crimes?"

"As one of Han Jiangzhi's closest prosecutors, were you aware of his criminal behavior or even involved in it?"

"."

The questions were more pointed than the last, and the exhausted Park Tae-soo forced himself to cheer up.

"I have accepted the internal investigation of the Procuratorate. I have no further comment. Please pay attention to the results officially released by the Procuratorate."

"."

Park Tae-soo breathed a sigh of relief after finally squeezing into the car. He thought it was the car his wife sent to pick him up, but after the car drove for a distance, he realized that the driver was his good brother Choi Doo-il.

"Douri?" Park Tae-soo forced himself to cheer up, "Why are you here?"

"The president wants to see you," Choi Doo-il said, "He asked me to remind you that you are not completely safe yet, so get some sleep first, Tae-soo."

Park Tae-soo sighed, "Got it."

Park Tae-soo, who was almost always tense in the prosecutor's office, soon fell asleep.

But the rest time was very short. After getting off the bus, Park Tae-soo washed his face in the bathroom and patted his cheeks hard to make himself look more energetic.

I put on a smile in front of the mirror, but it looked like a forced smile.

He followed Choi Doo-il to Li You's office, where Choi Doo-il whispered to him, "Tae-soo, seize this opportunity." Park Tae-soo nodded, took a deep breath, pushed open the door and walked in.

Li You was sitting behind the desk. When he came in, he looked him up and down calmly, then waved his hand casually, "Sit down, Prosecutor Park."

Park Tae-soo tried to keep calm, but his expression was not good. "President Lee's other half is recording."

Li You chuckled, "Prosecutor Park, there's no need to be so anxious. Everything will come to you eventually."

There were indeed two recorders, but Han Jiangzhi only gave him one at the time. But it doesn’t matter. After Han Jiangzhi died, the other half was also in his hands.

As for the one found at the scene, they were both fake ones that were damaged before being put in. There are only two real ones.

Li You threw the recorder on the table.

"Han Jiangzhi, Yang Dongzhe, and you," Li You stared at him, "the three of you have been like an iron triangle in the Procuratorate for several years. The recording of the Minister of Justice that day was used to save your lives, but this one needs to wait for one more person."

About twenty minutes later, Yang Dongzhe, who was also tired, pushed the door open.

Park Tae-soo saw him with a wry smile on his face, "Dong-cheol hyung."

Yang Dongzhe nodded silently.

"That half of the recording saved your lives. What's the price you want for this half?"

"From now on," Li You glanced at the two of them unscrupulously, "work for me honestly."

Park Tae-soo closed his eyes, but Yang Dong-chul was still a little unwilling. He raised his head, "Lee——"

"I didn't ask you to speak." Li You looked at him coldly.

"I just--"

Li You didn't let him continue, but suddenly stood up, grabbed his hair and pressed his face on the table.

"You don't understand me?"

Li You's rough movements tore Yang Dongzhe's scalp. He cried out in pain but dared not say another word. Li You let him go and wiped his right hand off his suit.

"Think about the future, both of you." Li You put his hands on the table. "In the past, Han Jiangzhi rode on your heads. Although you were called the iron triangle within the prosecution, who didn't know that you two were his dogs?"

He chuckled, "From today on, I'll change my master. At least I won't be riding on your heads all day, and you won't have to report to me for everything you do."

"Don't forget what you exchanged the last piece of evidence for."

Of course, Li You did not give the previous piece of evidence to Park Tae-soo for free. Instead, Park Tae-soo obtained it in exchange for the criminal evidence of their group of prosecutors.

Park Tae-soo also thought about reminding Han Jiangzhi.

But what happens next? He will die on the street like Han Jiangzhi.

To trade his own life for Han Jiangzhi's future? Park Tae-joo is not that stupid.

Li You's words undoubtedly broke down his last line of defense. He felt that what Li You said was not wrong. At least on the surface, they would be the future owners of the Mutual Aid Association.

"President Li," Park Tae-soo's way of addressing Li You also changed quietly, "I do."

Yang Dongzhe covered his head with his hands, feeling a little uneasy, "President Li, I am willing too."

"Okay," Li You nodded with a smile in his eyes, "Now that we have reached a consensus, we can talk about the next thing."

He noticed that both of them were looking at the recorder. "As for this pen..."

"This style is very special," Li You turned it in his hand, "Maybe Han Jiangzhi wanted to ensure the uniqueness of the evidence. Its content cannot be extracted, so feel free to use it to exchange for your future."

"They won't silence you just because you listened to the recording. They can kill you anytime they want."

Li You tossed it a few times in his hand and threw it to Park Tae-soo, "Tae-soo, you keep it."

Yang Dongzhe was very disappointed and lowered his head quietly. He didn't expect that he would have to be a dog after Park Tae-soo.

Park Tae-soo's methods can be described as swift and decisive, with a bit of Han Kang-sik's influence.

After surrendering to the Minister of Justice, it took only a few days to completely control the leaderless mutual aid association, and the mission was accomplished.

[The plot of "King" has been ended early. 】

[Plot Mission: The Temptation of Power (Completed)
You, who have devoured the tiger Han Jiangzhi, are gradually growing from a young dragon into an evil dragon.

Mission Reward: Special Skill Term (Yellow) (Received). 】

Li You was very satisfied with the reward, this yellow entry [Death Warning].

"Get up!" Expert Yu pulled the newly joined prosecutor, "Minister Park is here!"

Just like they did when they welcomed Han Jiangzhi, the members of the mutual aid association stood up to welcome the new mutual aid association owner.

The person standing in Han Jiangzhi's position was Park Tae-soo.

Although these people don't know what Park Tae-soo has done to make the Minister of Justice personally praise him, this does not affect their support for Park Tae-soo.

Han Jiangzhi is dead, whoever is willing to be loyal can go and accompany him.

It is also good for them to have Park Tae-soo in power, as he will not use as tough tactics as Han Kang-sik on the people below him, and he will be easier to talk to.

Yang Dongzhe stood behind him, head down, with some jealousy in his eyes, and regret for his offense at that time.

This was not the first time Park Tae-soo had held a meeting after taking control of the mutual aid group, but every time they met, Yang Dong-chul would feel regretful in his heart.

Park Tae-soo stood on it and looked around. "Is Representative Li here?"

He asked the question inconspicuously, as if he was asking an insignificant person.

"Representative Li?" Expert Yu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "Representative Li hasn't been here since that incident."

Park Tae-soo nodded and glanced around the organization that was nominally under his control. There were many new faces.

The Seoul JoongAng Ilbo also sent new reporters because the senior political department reporter Bai Ridong committed suicide in the prosecutor's office out of fear of punishment.

Right under An Xiyan's nose, she just went out to get a cup of coffee. Bai Ridong died, in the procuratorate.
