Park Jin Hyuk said: "I have a suspicion, but I haven't found any evidence. I need to observe for a while."
On the surface, Park Jin Hyuk seemed to be taking it easy, but he was somewhat worried inside.
When he returned to his residence in Pyeongcang-dong and was about to take a breath, more news was reported by the TV station.
[DS Group's stock grants pose problems]
[DS Group Vice Chairman Park Jin-hyuk's tax evasion scandal surfaces]
[Major problems were discovered during the stock donation process between DS and Dongjing Industry]
[Is it really reasonable to donate stock instead of paying gift taxes?]
Watching the content of the TV news, there was no smile on Park Jin Hyuk's face. Han Ji Yeon came over and sat down next to him.
"Just now in the car, I saw that you were too tired, so I didn't say some things. But there are some things that are better for me to tell you. Everyone feels the same way."
"Go ahead."
Han Ji-yeon then said, "Someone strongly demands that you accept national political supervision, so I was thinking...whether you want to go abroad to avoid the limelight..." Han Ji-yeon looked at him worriedly.
"National political inspection? They're not here for good." But Park Jin Hyuk shook his head, "No, I won't go abroad."
As he spoke, he held Han Zhiyan's hand, wanting to comfort his wife and at the same time gain some strength from her. "If you run away now, it would be like admitting defeat."
"It's not about running away, it's about temporarily avoiding it and returning after public opinion dies down. Others are suggesting the same thing."
"This is a very bad strategy. My opponents probably hope that I will flee overseas."
"Why?"
Park Jin Hyuk gently patted the back of Han Ji Yeon's hand and said, "You'll know when you see it later."

Various rumors about Park Jin Hyuk spread quickly.
Everyone initially praised Park Jin Hyuk for handing over DS BioLogics shares to the country, but now that the direction has changed, people's opinions have also begun to change.
It can be seen how easily humans, as a social and gregarious species, are influenced by their surroundings.
Kim Jun-woo said to Park Jin-hyuk anxiously:
“Vice President, I have secured the space in front of our headquarters by applying to the municipality for permission to hold the event. Therefore, the troublemakers cannot hold demonstrations against you there, but we cannot prevent similar events from being held elsewhere.”
"Don't worry about that. The most important thing now is this issue." Park Jin Hyuk slammed the newspaper on the table.
Jin Junyu picked up the newspaper and saw the headline: The reason for the suicide of DS Electronics employee has been found out, because he was subjected to unreasonable abuse and bullying by senior executives.
"The newspaper may have exaggerated some information. I heard that the employee suffered from depression," said Jin Junyu.
"Who told you that?"
"I asked DS Electronics' HR department, and they said that the employee didn't always have a good relationship with his colleagues."
"Don't just listen to their report. This matter is now handed over to you. Investigate and come up with a result as soon as possible. We need to reach a conclusion before the police or the procuratorate intervene."
After receiving the order, Jin Junyu walked out.

Not long after Kim Jun-woo left, Mao Dayong came to Park Jin-hyuk's office.
"Vice President, we are all waiting for you to come back." Mao Dayong said after meeting.
Park Jin Hyuk said, "I heard that the news about the side effects of the vaccine has spread from Japan to China?"
"Yes, there are relevant reports everywhere now, saying that the vaccine will cause serious respiratory disorders, and that deaths have occurred in Japan. This rumor has spread to other countries. Some people have even questioned the clinical effectiveness evaluations of the Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the US CDC and FDA. Now the second batch of vaccines has been distributed, and the export plan for the third batch is being formulated. It is really terrible that such a problem has occurred." Mao Dayong said with concern.
"Have you responded?"
"Not yet... We were just planning to discuss this with you. We're planning to hold a press conference right away to clarify those distorted reports."
"I would advise not to rush into a response."
"Why?"
Park Jin Hyuk smiled and said, "President Mao, you know what? This is exactly the reaction the other party wants from you."
"You mean the Japanese government?"
"No, this shouldn't be the work of the Japanese government..."
"Who could it be?" Mao Dayong had his own answer, but he was not in a position to say it out loud.
"It's hard to say now... But my idea is not to rush to hold a press conference. If there is any concern about the vaccine, then exports to those countries should be suspended, including domestically. If there are serious doubts, supply can also be stopped."
“Vice President, if that happens, will the public question whether we are using vaccines as a tool?”
"Yes, I use the vaccine as a weapon in my hand." Park Jin Hyuk admitted directly.
This left Mao Dayong speechless.
Park Jin Hyuk explained, "Since you have a weapon, why not use it?"
"But……"
"Are you worried about the possible consequences?"
Mao Dayong nodded.
"We will talk about the future later. We cannot be hesitant because of concerns about the future. Our policy is to stop supplying vaccines to any country that doubts the reliability of the vaccine, and the same applies to South Korea."
Since Park Jin Hyuk has made the decision, Mao Dayong doesn't want to say anything more.

The National Assembly has officially launched a national policy inspection regarding Park Jin-hyuk's gift tax issue.
"Vice President, I'm here again." Early in the morning, Hyun Yi-soo came to Park Jin-hyuk's office again.
"Why don't you just move to my place and work here?" Park Jin Hyuk joked.
Xuan Yizhu smiled and replied, "Sure, as long as you don't mind."
Because DS Group is facing an unprecedented crisis, Xuan Yizhu feels uneasy, so he reports to Park Jin Hyuk on time every day. He wants to stay with Park Jin Hyuk more and help him with advice.
"President Xuan, please don't come here anymore."
"I'm not busy recently, it's okay."
Park Jin Hyuk laughed and said, "Are you worried that I might do something stupid in a hurry?"
Xuan Yizhu had such concerns, but he would definitely not admit it. He asked, "Are you still planning to stop the supply of vaccines to certain countries?"
"Yes."
"Vaccines play a significant role in controlling the epidemic."
"We all know this, but some people don't think so, so I feel very depressed."
Although Xuan Yizhu felt the same way, he had his own ideas about how to deal with it.
"Shouldn't you give in a little? That way the National Affairs Supervisory won't be too difficult for you."
"I was just about to tell you that I plan to attend the National Government Inspection's questioning."
"What...?" Xuan Yizhu shook his head repeatedly, "I suggest you don't participate. Just apply in advance."
"No, I will. I like the unexpected, you know?"
