Park Jin Hyuk stared at Wang Ki Woong.
"Prime Minister Wang, there's no need for this. We're all alone now. Just tell me the truth. What exactly do you want?"
"Yeah, what exactly do I want?"
Wang Jixiong continued to show off to him, and Park Jin Hyuk felt angry and wanted to slam the table and walk out.
He tapped the arm of his chair lightly.
"As prime minister, I have a term limit. Stepping down at the end of my term is completely different from being impeached. My term limit has not yet expired."
"You plan to hold on until the next term?"
"You're right."
From a personal perspective, Park Jin Hyuk really wants to get this person out of office.
But reason told him that it was not the right time yet and this person was still useful to him.
"Since you want my help, why don't you show your sincerity first?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"I've already given you a hint."
"What hint?"
"You are very interesting."
It seems that there is a reason why this person can become prime minister. His expression can change in an instant and he does not feel embarrassed at all.
"I'll be honest. I can help you until the election, but there are conditions."
"What conditions?"
"The government provides a guarantee for DS Heavy Industries."
"What?"
Wang Jixiong frowned.
"The government is providing a guarantee for DS Heavy Industries."
"Do you know what this means?"
"Of course I know."
"I heard that DS Heavy Industries is in trouble. It seems the problem is serious."
"That's not the case. DS Heavy Industries' situation isn't that bad. It's the Brazilian power plant project and DS Energy that are giving me a headache."
"If the situation isn't that bad, why ask for a government guarantee?"
"I want to make it worse."
Wang Jixiong was a little confused.
"Didn't you ask the government to provide a guarantee? But you said you hope its situation will get worse?"
"That's what I mean, but the other party has to fall into the trap first. If the government provides guarantees, we can lure the other party into the trap."
"Who is this other party referring to?"
"My father, Chairman Park Jun-man."
Wang Jixiong was secretly surprised.
"It seems that the rumors outside are not groundless."
"Well? Do you agree to my terms?"
Wang Jixiong did not answer immediately. He then realized that he had underestimated Park Jin Hyuk.
With that performance just now, he did not become a hunter, but instead became someone else's prey, another hunter who was more skilled than himself.

Seoul Donggu Detention Center.
Compared with other detention centers, this one was newly built, so it looks clean and has advanced facilities.
Because it is a place specifically for detaining high-ranking officials and economic criminals, the guards are relatively kind.
Walking into the visiting room of the detention center, Park Soo-wan and Park Kyung-wan saw Park Jin-hyuk sitting inside and immediately said:
"Why are you here? What are you doing here?"
"Uncles, long time no see."
The verdict of the case will be announced tomorrow. Park Soo-wan thought that the person who came was a lawyer, but he didn't expect that it would be Park Jin-hyuk, whom he didn't want to see at all.
"I'm gone."
Park Soo-wan turned around and said to the guard.
But the guard seemed not to hear him, nodded at Park Jin Hyuk, and then walked out.
Park Jin Hyuk gestured with his hand:
"Please sit down first."
There was no choice but for Park Soo-wan and Park Kyung-wan to sit down opposite Park Jin-hyuk.
"Your uncles look good. The treatment here is pretty good, right?"
"Are you here to laugh at us?"
Park Soo-wan said with his eyes wide open that if they were not in the visiting room, he would have fought with Park Jin-hyuk long ago.
Park Jin Hyuk shook his head.
"The first-instance judgment will be made tomorrow..."
"So what? Just because you locked us up, can you rest easy? You are no match for my eldest brother. Don't forget, you are not his only son."
Park Soo-wan sneered.
Park Jin Hyuk smiled.
"Don't you want to know why I came here?"
Compared to Park Soo-wan, Park Kyung-wan seems calmer.
"What are you doing here?"
"If you talk like Third Uncle, I think we can continue the conversation."
Park Jin Hyuk glanced at Park Soo Wan.
"Has the lawyer told you two? What will be the outcome of the first trial?"
"Why are you asking that?"
"Actually, I know without asking that the fine is 200 billion yuan (about 1.06 billion RMB) for seven years, right?"
Seeing that Park Soo-wan was silent, Park Jin-hyuk continued:
"Isn't that what the lawyer suggested? We should appeal and drag the case through the second and third trials in order to get the maximum possible sentence reduction?"
Park Soo-wan replied:
"Since you already know everything, why are you asking so many questions?"
"I need to confirm it before we can negotiate."
"Negotiations? With us?"
Park Jin Hyuk nodded and said:
"Otherwise why would I come here?
"The verdict is tomorrow. What is there to discuss?"
Park Jin Hyuk lowered his voice and said word by word:
"What if I can help reduce the punishment for my two uncles..."
"You? How?"
After the incident, the two brothers hired the best lawyers in Korea to form a legal team. After great efforts, they finally got the current result. But Park Jin Hyuk said that he could reduce their sentences?
Park Kyung-wan was also skeptical.
"If you were willing to commute our sentences, you should have taken action when the Inspectorate launched its investigation. Now that the verdict is almost here, it's too late to say anything."
Park Jin Hyuk said in a helpless tone:
"The two uncles didn't contact me earlier. If they had, wouldn't I have taken action earlier?"
"Can it really help us reduce our sentences?"
"certainly."
Park Jin Hyuk said clearly.
The visiting room suddenly fell into silence.
“…How much can it be reduced?”
"Can the fine be reduced?"
After a while, Park Soo-wan and Park Kyung-wan couldn't help but ask.
"Three years, a 50 billion yuan fine. I believe this is the best the lawyer can do if it drags on until the third trial."
Park Soo-wan's heart moved.
"Why are you willing to commute our sentences? ... Tell me, what is your purpose in doing this?"
"That's right, I like this straightforward approach."
Park Jin Hyuk stood up and opened the door of the visiting room.
Kim Jun-woo walked in and handed Park Jin-hyuk two documents, then he bowed slightly to Park Soo-wan and Park Kyung-wan and walked out.
Park Jin Hyuk placed the two documents in front of Park Soo Wan and Park Kyung Wan.
[Equity Transfer Contract]
Park Soo-wan and Park Kyung-wan raised their heads at the same time.
"What... is this for?"
"As you can see, I hope you will transfer your DS shares to me."
