The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

......

the other side.

Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office.

Choi Myung-hee looked at Han Seung-hyuk, who was talking incessantly in front of her, and rubbed her temples with a headache.

"Attorney Han Chenghe, do you think it's realistic not to file a lawsuit?"

"Of course it's realistic, Prosecutor Choi Myung-hee. This case is clearly self-defense. Faced with a group of vicious criminals, what could my client do? Only fight back against all odds!"

Han Seung-hyuk spoke with great enthusiasm.

He even put on an act as if nothing was wrong.

Seeing his expression, Cui Mingxi shook her head speechlessly.

If it weren't for their good relationship, Choi Myung-hee would have kicked him out long ago.

"Don't try to fool me. As a lawyer, don't you know they are suspected of attempted murder and assaulting police officers?"

When talking about murder, Choi Myung-hee's tone was nonchalant.

But when she talked about assaulting police officers, her tone suddenly became more serious...

Chapter 181 Don't Let Heroes Be Disheartened

"You don't understand what this means, do you?"

Hear this.

Han Seung-hyuk's expression froze slightly.

He certainly understood what Cui Mingxi meant.

In essence, this incident is not a big deal; the victims were all animals.

Nobody cares.

Han Seung-hyeok dared to make a promise to Ding Xin because he understood this very well.

However, the problem arose from the assault on the police.

This was something he didn't understand at first.

Or rather, the focus of what the parties involved had previously revealed was on the murder.

This is why he is still arguing with Choi Myung-hee.

They wanted to downplay the incident of assaulting a police officer.

In South Korea, assaulting a government official is a serious crime, and the punishment is rarely lenient.

No matter what your reasons or excuses are, it won't work.

Let's explain it from another angle.

In South Korea, a hierarchical system is prevalent, with the highest rank being the aristocratic families.

Extending this to the present day, it refers to civil servants and tycoons.

They also fiercely defend their privileges, constantly showcasing and enjoying the benefits that come with this superior status.

Attacking public officials is clearly a challenge to that authority.

This is absolutely intolerable!

Just imagine.

You can attack a police officer today for any reason.

If we treat you leniently and don't impose severe punishment on you, then wouldn't you be able to attack other public officials tomorrow for the same reason?

This is something that touches upon my own interests.

Unless, these suspects have some extraordinary background or identity.

however.

Unfortunately, these people were just ordinary citizens...

Seeing Han Chenghe's constantly changing expression, yet remaining silent throughout.

Cui Mingxi smiled slightly.

Clearly, his junior had realized the root of the problem.

Or rather, he had already realized it.

Now that he had been pointed out by himself, he was speechless for a moment.

The situation was somewhat deadlocked.

But considering their relationship, Choi Myung-hee straightened up.

He patiently explained, "Yes, what you said before is also true. I am fully responsible for this case, and whether or not to prosecute is also my decision. However, I still have to consider certain pressures. You should understand that not prosecuting is currently impossible..."

She didn't specify where the pressure came from, but how could Han Seung-hyuk not understand?

"In other words, even if I agree to a decision not to prosecute, the higher-ups can still find a reason to reassign the case to another prosecutor. Then I'll be in a difficult position, and you'll be in an even more difficult position..."

Upon hearing this, Han Seung-hyuk nodded subconsciously.

That's very accurate.

With the case in her hands, Choi Myung-hee can still try to prosecute with a lighter charge within the rules.

Or perhaps it's about cooperating in court.

If it ends up in someone else's hands, it'll be really difficult to handle...

"And don't just focus on me, the court is the one that actually makes the judgment. You should also try to persuade them..."

This has a slightly sarcastic tone.

Upon hearing this, Han Chenghe sighed inwardly.

He was just thinking that if he could skip one step in the process, he could pay less in fees!

You don't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt until you're in charge of the household...

Cui Mingxi seemed to read his mind, picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip.

He skillfully concealed the intriguing glint at the corner of his mouth.

In reality, some of what she said was true and some was false.

This is indeed the unspoken rule in South Korea: no criminal who dares to attack public officials will be let off easily.

But as a senior prosecutor, she also had the power to suppress the case and decide not to prosecute.

There are reasons for it.

As Han Seung-hyuk said, it was legitimate self-defense and emergency avoidance...

However, on the one hand, this case has indeed touched a nerve with some people.

On the other hand, why did she do that?

Just for a few ordinary people?

There's no need for that!

......

Just then, the prosecutor's assistant walked over excitedly.

"Prosecutor Choi Myung-hee..."

The assistant greeted him respectfully.

He then leaned close to her and whispered a few words, handing her the newspaper he was holding.

Han Seung-hyuk, who was standing nearby, slyly pricked up his ears.

All I could vaguely hear was, "Enping...crime..."

In a fleeting glance, I saw the news headline that filled the entire page of the newspaper.

Don't let heroes lose heart...

"hero?"

Han Chenghe's heart stirred slightly, wondering if it was related to some of his clients.

Choi Myung-hee stared at the newspaper in her hand with a serious expression.

"How is this going?"

Why is the information in the newspapers about the Enping District incident so detailed, even more comprehensive and specific than what they know?

And it's so biased.

Just two days ago, the newspapers only published a small amount of information that the authorities had specifically revealed.

If Ding Xin knew what she was thinking at that moment, he would definitely scoff at her.
