"You're really cooperative. If you hadn't happened to meet Yeon Jung-hoon and told him that you saw Han Ga-in on the beach, he wouldn't have come here to find Han Ga-in." Song Yi praised Choi Sun-hee.

"You didn't want to leave such a spacious beach, but insisted on dragging Han Ga In to hide behind a rock. It's no wonder that Yeon Jung Hoon misunderstood you, a single man and a single woman, walking out of such a remote place. You and Han Ga In are quite elegant, and you specially chose such a place to have an affair." Choi Sun Hee said.

Song Yi's face was dark. "What are you thinking? Apart from the hug just now, Han Jiaren and I are innocent. I haven't even held her hand."

"That makes sense. If you want to hold Han Ga-in's hand, will she refuse?" Choi Sun-hee disagreed.

"If I use my power to force Han Ga In to submit, then what's the difference between me and Kim Geuk Ho and Kim Dong Bin, father and son?" Song Yi laughed at himself.

"Don't you understand what I mean? After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that I am deliberately trying to sow discord between Yeon Jung-hoon and Han Ga-in. When Han Ga-in's marriage is in trouble, I can take advantage of the situation and swoop in."

"I have never been a person with an excessive sense of justice. If you compare the actions of Jin Gehao and his son with my own, theirs is forcing women of good families into prostitution, while mine can barely be considered as seducing women of good families into prostitution. Men have two major hobbies: to lure decent women into the prostitution business and to persuade prostitutes to become good women," said Song Yi.

Cui Shanji didn't want to listen to Song Yi's self-deprecation, "Why do you have to say such ugly things about yourself? I understand what you mean. Forcing a good woman into prostitution is a choice. There is no way to resist. This is the most desperate thing."

Song Yi snapped his fingers, "Bingo! You're right! It's worth it that you've followed me for these years. You understood what I meant immediately."

"Everyone is born equal and everyone is an independent individual. I think everyone should have the right to choose and make their own decision whether to do it or not."

"I like Song Woo-seok, I voted for him and supported him to be president. You agree with Zheng Jinhui, so you choose to vote for her. This is our freedom. Everyone's right to choose cannot be deprived."

"I'm not the kind of person who has an overflowing sense of justice, and I won't stand up for others for no reason. The producer and director hinted that the actress had to sleep with him in exchange for a certain role, and this itself was a transaction."

"If both parties are willing, and the actress is willing to make such sacrifices in order to get promoted, then it is her freedom."

"But if the actress is already unwilling to sleep with someone in exchange for the role, and her agent or agency uses other means to coerce her into completing the deal, then that crosses my bottom line."

"This world is rotten to the core. The more glamorous and successful people are, the more filthy they are. Compared to ordinary people, the moral bottom line of rich people is lower."

"Ordinary people are taught by their parents to obey the law, follow the rules and not cause trouble. Little do they know that this useless kindness will make their lives more difficult. When they face all kinds of injustice in society, they are used to being submissive. They are the ones who suffer and work like slaves, and they are the ones who are timid and dare not fight. These people often do the most work, get the least money, and are always the last to be promoted and get a raise. This is why good people are bullied."

"Compared to ordinary people who abide by the law, the rich have no respect for the law at all. They are used to collusion between officials and businessmen, using power and money to pave the way and settle troubles, and finally make big things small and small things nothing."

"Compared to ordinary people, I am certainly not a good person, but compared to the Korean chaebols who regard the law as nothing, I can be called a saint."

"When we reach our level of wealth, we all like to deal with people who follow the rules. But Jin Geuhao and his son don't like to follow the rules, so Samsung, Hyundai, LG and SK don't like to play with the Lotte family." Song Yi concluded.

"The chaebol families in Seoul felt that Kim Hyuk-ho's family couldn't make it in Seoul, and that they made their fortune by relying on the Japanese. They were like nouveau riche with no background, so it was normal for them to look down on them. So we were all surprised that Zhou Dashan of the Hyundai family was willing to marry the daughter of Kim Hyuk-ho's concubine," said Choi Sun-hee.

Song Yi was a little disapproving. "Dashan's father Zhou Mengyu was also an illegitimate child, and he was not a direct descendant of a modern family. The family backgrounds of the two are similar. Jin Youmei inherited her mother's beauty, and Zhou Dashan is the youngest son, so he can't get much of the family property. It's a blessing that he has a rich mother-in-law like Xu Meijing!"

Cui Shanji heard Song Yi speak so bluntly about Zhou Dashan's life experience, "It seems that you really intend to leave the Xiandai family. You even directly exposed Zhou Mengyu's identity as an illegitimate child?"

Song Yi smiled. This was a well-known secret among the wealthy families in Seoul. Zhou Zhengyong had eight sons in total. In addition to Zhou Mengbi who died in a car accident, the second son Zhou Mengjiu inherited Hyundai Motor, the third son Zhou Menggen inherited Hyundai Department Store, the fifth son Zhou Mengxian inherited Asan Group, and the sixth son Zhou Mengjun inherited Hyundai Heavy Industries. These legitimate sons can often be seen on the Korean rich list. How could the other illegitimate sons be allocated to the core industries of the Hyundai system? Although the huge Hyundai Group broke out in the prince rebellion in 2000, the infighting between Zhou Zhengyong's sons began in the late 1980s.

Hyundai Aluminum is the most important supplier of Hyundai Motor. How could Hyundai Motor Chairman Zhou Mengjiu tolerate his illegitimate son Zhou Mengyu to inherit this company in the future?

Zhou Mengyu had a head injury when he was young and had mental illness. He actually didn't want to take over the family company and wanted to be a writer, but he finally succumbed to family pressure and took over Modern Aluminum.

When Zhou Mengjiu and Zhou Mengxian fought over the inheritance of Hyundai Group, Zhou Mengyu chose not to help either of them.

However, not helping either of them meant offending two people at the same time. Zhou Mengjiu secretly won over Zhou Menggen, Zhou Mengzhun and Zhou Mengyun, and began to isolate Zhou Mengxian in the family, and prepared to take over Zhou Mengyu's Modern Aluminum.

Finally, Zhou Mengyu, who was forced to a mental breakdown, committed suicide by taking poison. Not long after, Hyundai Aluminum naturally became a subsidiary of Hyundai Motor.

After Zhou Mengyu passed away, Zhou Mengjiu kindly comforted his younger brother and sister-in-law and three nephews. The two families kept close contact, and Zhou Mengjiu raised the three nephews. Hyundai Aluminum was later renamed Hyundai BNG Steel, and Zhou Mengjiu handed Hyundai BNG Steel over to Zhou Mengyu's eldest son Zhou Rixuan to manage.

After Song Yi heard from Zheng Enxuan how Zhou Mengjiu treated Zhou Mengyu, he felt that he had underestimated Zhou Mengjiu. If he were in ancient times, Zhou Mengjiu would also be a local tyrant.

With the tacit approval of his father Zhou Zhengyong, Zhou Mengjiu drove his uncle Zhou Shiyong out of Hyundai Motor and then made himself king.

Zhou Zhengyong wanted Zhou Mengyu to control Modern Aluminum to check and balance Zhou Mengjiu, but Zhou Mengjiu still attacked Zhou Mengyu without hesitation. In the end, Zhou Mengyu, whose industry was taken away, committed suicide by taking poison.

As a result, as soon as Zhou Mengyu died, Zhou Mengjiu immediately comforted Zhou Mengyu's orphan and widowed mother as if nothing had happened, leaving Zhou Mengyu's family with only Zhou Mengjiu to rely on for their livelihood.

Zhou Zhengyong did not want to hand over the Hyundai Group to Zhou Mengjiu. As a result, Zhou Mengjiu, who was unwilling to accept the result, joined forces with Zhou Menggen and Zhou Mengzhun to separate the three most profitable businesses of Hyundai Group, Hyundai Motor, Hyundai Department Store and Hyundai Heavy Industries, from the Hyundai Group, leaving Zhou Mengxian alone.

"Last time, I went to Dashan's house for Dashan's marriage, and I found that Uncle Mengyu's widow is still very charming. She must have been a beauty when she was young. No wonder Uncle Mengjiu took so much effort to take care of them and their son for more than ten years." Song Yi said.

Cui Shanji was amused by Song Yi, "Pah, pah, pah, you dare to gossip about the things between the elders. Aren't you afraid that others will scold you for being disrespectful?"

She sighed, "After Zhou Mengyu committed suicide, they were left alone and in a difficult situation. Zhou Mengyu was not well-received in modern families. As the fourth aunt, you have to find a strong person to rely on. After all, it is better to stay under a big tree."

"Thinking of this, I heard an interesting rumor. After my great uncle became rich, he brought his younger brothers and sisters over from the countryside. He was not only very good to his brothers, but also to his younger sisters and brothers. He even took two of his younger sisters and brothers to the movies together. Maybe, as an older brother, it is hereditary for him to take care of his younger siblings." Song Yi said.

Cui Shanji rolled her eyes at Song Yi and said, "Go away, you are getting more and more outrageous. Are you trying to find an excuse for your reputation as a playboy? Chairman Song, do you think there are no challenges in business? You are tirelessly pursuing one socialite or beautiful star after another just to pursue excitement. If you write about your experience of hunting for beauties in your autobiography after you die, it will definitely become the best-selling book in Korea."

Song Yi was just about to answer Choi Sun-hee's question, but when he saw Kim Tae-hee jogging towards him with a cell phone in her hand, he immediately realized that something big had happened.

Kim Tae-hee has a very stable personality. Now that she is pregnant, she would not have come running to him if it was not an extremely urgent matter.

Song Yi quickly ran towards Kim Tae Hee and held her with one hand, "Don't worry, I'm here if the sky falls. Calm down first, what happened?"

Kim Tae-hee's face turned pale. "Shin Min-kyung from SMJ Gallery called me just now. She said that Le Seok-ik had taped a recording of your conversation with Xia Meiai through wiretapping. The content of the recording involved the 2007 presidential election of the Open National Assembly. He plans to submit the recording as evidence to the Procuratorate and prosecute you for abuse of power."

Song Yi was shocked to hear this. This matter was very serious. If this recording was submitted to the Procuratorate, Zheng Jinhui, Cui Anyuan, Chen Zairong and Jin Gehao would not let Song Yi go. They would pursue him relentlessly and would not stop until he was sent to prison.

Kim Tae-hee obviously thought of this consequence, so she wanted to notify Song Yi as soon as possible and let Song Yi make the decision.

We must race against time now. If Le Xiyi hands in the recording, Song Yi will be in a passive position.

This is also why Xin Minjing chose to inform Jin Taixi instead of calling Song Yi directly. Xin Minjing was worried that if she called Song Yi, the suspicious Le Xiyi would monitor the conversation between Xin Minjing and Song Yi, and the secret relationship between Song Yi and Xin Minjing would be exposed.

Song Yi originally wanted to fly to Hong Kong Island to avoid the limelight, but he subconsciously rejected it. If Song Yi stayed in Korea, even if Le Xiyi joined forces with Zheng Jinhui, it would not be so easy to bring Song Yi down.

If Song Yi doesn't run away, he can still win the trust and support of the Korean public. If Song Yi escapes at the last minute, the reputation of SA Group and Song Yi will be completely ruined and there is no way to save it.

Koreans are a nation that is both inferior and arrogant, and their attitude towards Song Yi, the richest man in the country, is also very complicated.

Young people in South Korea admire Song Yi very much, and think that Song Yi is a business genius and a role model for them to strive for and learn from. However, middle-aged and elderly Koreans actually reject Song Yi a little bit, after all, Song Yi was a Chinese citizen before he became a Korean citizen.

If Song Yi's mother Zhou Shulan was the niece of Hyundai Group founder Zhou Zhengyong, Koreans would never be able to accept that a Chinese went to Korea and became the richest man in Korea.

If Koreans heard the recording of Xia Meiai and Song Yi, they would definitely attack Song Yi's Chinese ancestry. Then Song Yi and the SA Group would really become rats crossing the street, and everyone would shout and beat them.

Song Yi thought of a countermeasure, "I can't go back to Seoul now. If I go back to Seoul suddenly, it will definitely alert Le Xiyi, and then it will alert the enemy."

"The first problem now is to get this recording, Tae Hee. Phones are not safe now, and there is always the risk of wiretapping. Go back to Seoul and find Chen Fuzhen. Ask Chen Fuzhen to notify Lin Zhiling to visit Xin Minjing. Lin Zhiling does not need to get the recording, she only needs to remember what is said in the recording."

"Sister So Young, Sister Eun Sun, or Chen Fuzhen are not suitable to show up at Xin Minjing's house. As the princess of Samsung, Lin Zhiling's visit to Xin Minjing will definitely not arouse Le Xiyi's vigilance. I guess Le Xiyi has already established contact with Chen Zairong. Chen Zairong has opposed me many times. He is unlikely to suspect Chen Zairong's wife."

Kim Tae Hee guessed something, "Are you planning to make another fake recording and replace the real recording at Le Xiyi's house?"

Song Yi felt fortunate that Le Xiyi was too greedy and wanted to bring down Song Yi, the richest man in South Korea, by himself to fulfill his reputation.

If Le Xiyi handed the recording to Zheng Jinhui as soon as possible, Song Yi and Xia Meiai would be in trouble. Xia Meiai would be forced to resign from the post of Minister of Justice, let alone enter the Blue House. Kim Tae-hee was a little confused today. She felt that she had been greatly shocked. She knew that Le Xiyi and Song Yi were not in harmony. At that time, Xia Meiai and Le Xiyi were fighting. Xia Meiai transferred Le Xiyi from the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office to the Suwon Prosecutor's Office as the Chief Prosecutor. Le Xiyi knew at that time that Song Yi and him were not the same kind of people, and he had already become disloyal. What she didn't understand now was why Le Xiyi was ready to deal with Song Yi, and Le Xiyi's wife Xin Minjing would abandon her husband Le Xiyi without hesitation and choose to inform Song Yi.

It's not just Shin Min-kyung. From what Song Yi said, Chen Fuzhen and Lin Zhiling from the Samsung family have long become Song Yi's allies.

This morning, Kim Hee-won told Kim Tae-hee a terrible fact that the eldest princess of Samsung, Chen Fuzhen, was also Song Yi's secret lover. Because she noticed last night that Song Yi entered Chen Fuzhen's bedroom in the late night and returned to his room in the early morning. When Song Yi returned to the room yesterday, he was already staggering and walking with the help of the wall. It was obvious that he had a hard fight with Chen Fuzhen last night.

Chen Fuzhen is Song Yi's woman, so it is understandable that she is willing to help Song Yi. But why is Samsung Crown Princess Lin Zhiling willing to take such a big risk to go to Le Xiyi's house to help Song Yi get the recording content?
