"No, the information I have received so far is that Han Ga-in and her husband Yeon Jung-hoon had a big fight on Deokyogi Island. Yeon Jung-hoon returned to Seoul alone, and Han Ga-in stayed on the island for vacation."
"Prosecutor Le, if Song Yi has been with Han Ga In these two days, can our Suwon Prosecutor's Office summon Han Ga In to the Prosecutor's Office for investigation in the name of cooperating with the investigation?"
Le Xiyi heard the subordinate's thoughts and shook his head, "Don't make things complicated. Even if Han Jiaren and Song Yi slept together, how many secrets of Song Yi can she know?"
"Song Yi and Xia Meiai always had very secret meetings in their study room at his Chengbeidong villa, at Xia Meiai's home, or in his Rolls-Royce. As long as there was a third person present, the two of them never discussed confidential matters. They had a very strong sense of confidentiality."
"Song Yi is the richest man in South Korea, and Xia Meiai is the Minister of Justice. Their cases are already strong enough. Once we make Song Yi's case a solid case, Song Yuxi's support rate will definitely drop significantly."
"When Representative Zheng Jinhui enters the Blue House, I can replace old man Li Xiangda as the Prosecutor General, and you can also become the Prosecutor General of the Suwon Prosecutor's Office."
"Female stars in the entertainment industry like to evade taxes, and tax cases are within the scope of investigation of our prosecutors. When you become the chief prosecutor of the Suwon Prosecutor's Office, female stars will naturally come to you for help in order to reduce their criminal responsibility. At that time, will you still care about a mere Han Ga-in?" Le Xiyi warned his subordinates.
"By the way, has Li Yuan been in the hall these days?" Ever since Le Xiyi learned that Li Yuan was Li Sangdae's only son, he has been very wary of Li Yuan.
"Li Yuan took a wedding leave after returning from Deyogi Island. He is now preparing for the wedding. He has not been seen in the past few days." The subordinate replied.
Le Xiyi felt relieved. If Li Yuan was not in the Procuratorate, he would not be able to ruin his plans, nor would he be able to tip off Song Yi.
He once thought that the old fox Lee Sang-dae was actually on his side, but after Lee Won and Song Jung-yeon got engaged, he found out that Lee Sang-dae had already joined Song Woo-seok.
Li Xiangda first sat on the mountain and watched the fight, letting Le Xiyi and Xia Meiai fight, and after Xia Meiai won, he chose to join Song Yuxi's camp.
Lee Sang-dae is now connected to the current president Song Woo-seok, the Hyundai family, and the LG family through his son's marriage, making his position as the Attorney General more secure. Although Le Seok-ik always wants to replace Lee Sang-dae, Lee Sang-dae's son Lee Won also wants to replace him. Le Seok-ik had heard that Song Woo-seok was going to introduce his daughter Song Jingyan to Song Yi. Song Yi felt that Song Jingyan's appearance was not outstanding enough, so he declined and arranged for her to work in an investment fund in the mainland, which was also a kind of compensation.
Li Yuan, Li Yuan, you married a woman that Song Yi didn't want for your second marriage. Song Yi and Song Jingyan have such a good relationship, be careful that he and Song Jingyan go together and put a hat on you, Le Xiyi couldn't help but make malicious guesses.
Le Xiyi clapped his hands, "Park Jin-hwan said that Song Yi and Kim Sung-guk have been in contact for a long time, otherwise Song Yi would not have recommended Kim Sung-guk to replace Park Jin-hwan as the director of the National Intelligence Service."
"I checked and found that in 2001, New Asia Entertainment applied for special loans of US$75 million, US$75 million and US$50 million from Korea Kookmin Bank, Hanhui Bank and Shinhan Bank respectively, totaling US$200 million. The loan period is a total of 5 years."
"After July 2002, New Asia Media repaid part of the loan, and in May 2003, New Asia Media repaid the entire $200 million loan."
"Shin Asia Entertainment had just acquired Shin Cine Communications and DSP Entertainment when it applied for the $200 million loan."
"Not long after these two mergers and acquisitions were completed, New Asia Entertainment was able to apply for a loan of 200 million US dollars. Isn't this timing too coincidental?" Le Xiyi asked his subordinates.
"But haven't we already checked the loan contracts of these three banks and kept them on file? There is nothing illegal about Xinya Entertainment's loan materials, and the bank staff have never accepted any property from Xinya Entertainment. If we focus on this direction, will we be looking in the wrong direction of the case?" the subordinate raised a question.
"After New Asia Entertainment acquired Shin Cine Comunications and DSP Entertainment, New Asia Entertainment's balance sheet was barely able to reach more than 100 billion won."
"If you start a company and your company is worth 100 billion won in total, can you borrow 100 billion won from the bank?" Le Xiyi asked his subordinates.
"How is that possible? You can lend 50 billion won by asking for favors from everyone and using all kinds of connections," the subordinate replied.
"But our Chairman Song is so capable that he managed to obtain a total of $200 million in special loans from these three banks without any invitation or gift. He is indeed the richest man in South Korea, and his business talent is fully demonstrated."
"Do you know why New Asia Entertainment split the $200 million loan into three installments? One reason is to reduce the difficulty of bank review. If New Asia Entertainment chooses one bank to borrow $200 million, even if New Asia Entertainment is sold, it will not be worth $200 million."
"It was for this reason that Song Yi applied for the $200 million loan by dividing it among three banks. It was because the $200 million loan was so clean that I suspected Song Yi."
"When Song Yi went to these three banks to apply for a loan, the then Blue House Secretary-General Kim Sung-guk accompanied him throughout the process. That's why New Asia Entertainment's loan application was so smooth. Who do you think instructed Kim Sung-guk to assist Song Yi in applying for this loan?" Le Xiyi's eyes flashed.
The subordinate suddenly realized what was going on. He was even more amazed at Le Xiyi's ambition. Le Xiyi not only wanted to bring down Xia Meiai, but also wanted to wipe out the progressive Zhong Xiaotong and Song Yuxi! Le Xiyi has now been flirting with the conservative Zheng Jinhui. He wants to bring down Song Yuxi and Zhong Xiaotong as a token of his loyalty, so that when he joins the Grand National Party, he can be reused by Zheng Jinhui.
While Le Xiyi was plotting against Song Yi, the Crown Princess of Samsung, Lin Zhiling, had already visited Le Xiyi and Xin Minjing's private residence in Seocho District as scheduled. Xin Minjing, who received the news, did not go to SMJ Gallery today, but waited for Lin Zhiling's visit at home.
Xin Minjing felt relieved when she saw Lin Zhiling's car parked at the door. She had already informed Song Yi, and it was up to Song Yi to decide what to do next.
"Mrs. Chen, I heard that you are still pregnant. I'm sorry to have asked you to make a special trip for such a small matter." Xin Minjing was very polite.
Lin Zhiling smiled and shook her head. "She's not that delicate. It's not her first pregnancy. After a checkup at the hospital, the baby is relatively healthy. It's good for your health to walk around."
"Representative Xin and Prosecutor Le have been married for some time. Haven't you considered having a child while you are still young?" Lin Zhiling asked Xin Minjing.
Xin Minjing's expression froze. She knew that Lin Zhiling didn't bring this up on purpose, or it was just a casual chat between the ladies. "Xi Yi said that these two years are a critical period for his career, and he wants to wait two years before having a child. Fortunately, my parents-in-law are more open-minded and are not in a hurry to have a grandchild."
Lin Zhiling was thoughtful. Xin Minjing is 33 this year. There are many women in Korea who have children in their 30s. In two years, it will be the year of the Korean presidential election. It seems that Le Xiyi has already secretly clung to Zheng Jinhui's thigh, so he said that these two years are the key period of his career.
"Representative Xin, I made a special trip to visit you because I heard that you bought a piece of porcelain called the Goryeo Celadon Jade Melon-rimmed Ewer at a foreign auction house. This porcelain is also a fine piece of celadon from the Kangjin Kiln of the Goryeo Dynasty. Next month is my father-in-law's 64th birthday, and Jae-yong and I are thinking of giving him a commemorative birthday gift. I wonder if Representative Xin is willing to part with it?" Lin Zhiling stated her purpose.
Xin Minjing discovered that Song Yi was a very scheming person and had laid the groundwork for Lin Zhiling's visit today a long time ago.
The celadon jade-colored melon-shaped ewer in her hand was indeed bought by her from a foreign auction house, but the seller was Song Yi. She had told Song Yi before that in addition to collecting calligraphy and paintings, she also liked some precious porcelain, especially celadon produced by the Kangjin Kiln of the Goryeo Dynasty.
After hearing this, Song Yi took it to heart and asked someone to find this Goryeo celadon jade-colored melon-edged pot, and then gave it to her through auction.
Goryeo celadon developed under the influence of China's Yue Kiln in the Tang Dynasty and Ru Kiln in the Song Dynasty. By the Southern Song Dynasty, the shape, decoration, glaze color and production technology of Goryeo celadon had reached a very high level.
For example, the blue and white porcelain plum, bird and bamboo pattern pot, one of the top ten national treasures of South Korea, is a work of Goryeo celadon. It cleverly uses relief, engraving and hollowing techniques, and uses curves and light and shadow to create a quiet and elegant artistic beauty.
Chen Jianxi liked to collect some precious porcelains and put them in the Samsung Museum of Art. Today, Lin Zhiling is visiting Xin Minjing, hoping to buy the celadon that Xin Minjing bought and give it to Chen Jianxi as a birthday gift. The reason is justified, and neither Le Xiyi nor Chen Zairong will be suspicious.
"Mrs. Chen, let's not rush. Let's go to the study to appreciate this porcelain first. If you are really interested in buying it, I am willing to give it to you." Xin Minjing said.
Xin Minjing and Lin Zhiling entered the study together. Xin Minjing opened the safe. At the bottom of the safe was the precious celadon jade-colored melon-shaped pot.
Lin Zhiling saw the recorder on the top of the safe, glanced at Xin Minjing, and Xin Minjing nodded.
Xin Minjing was about to take out the recorder, but Lin Zhiling stopped her. "Your husband must have marked it. He will definitely notice if you move the recorder. Don't touch it. Song Yi gave me the tool."
Lin Zhiling took a windproof lighter from her pocket and placed it next to the recorder. Although this windproof lighter looked small, it contained a complete set of eavesdropping equipment that could transcribe the contents of the recorder. When Lin Zhiling took the lighter away, she would be able to obtain all the contents of the recording without anyone noticing.
Xin Minjing felt that she was careless. If she touched the recorder today, Le Xiyi would most likely find out. She was willing to help Song Yi, but she didn't want to put herself in trouble for Song Yi.
She now admires Song Yi very much. Even the Samsung Crown Princess is Song Yi's person and is willing to take risks to help Song Yi obtain the recording content. Perhaps Song Yi has his insiders in the five major financial groups to prevent the five major financial groups from stabbing him in the back one day.
Xin Minjing felt that Song Yi might have been wary of Le Xiyi from the beginning, so he took her down in the SMJ Gallery not long after they met.
Shin Min-kyung and Lim Ji-ryung spent a long time appreciating the celadon jade-colored melon-shaped ewer. Finally, Lim Ji-ryung said to Shin Min-kyung, "Mr. Shin, I really like this piece of celadon. The most precious thing is that it is in very good condition. If it is placed in the Samsung Leeum Museum of Art, it will be a treasure of the museum. But the price of 2 billion won is not low. I need to go back and discuss it with Jae-yong."
Xin Minjing knew that the recording had been transcribed, so she stood up and sent Lin Zhiling off. "It's my duty, but I still hope that Mrs. Chen will hurry up. Because besides you, Director Song Suying of the Colorful Butterfly Art Museum is also interested in buying this celadon. She will come to see this porcelain tomorrow."
Lin Zhiling understood. Her task today was to transcribe the text, and Song Suying would come to visit tomorrow to replace the recording that Le Xiyi had obtained with the new synthesized recording.
The so-called synthesized recording is that SA Soft's technicians record the conversation between Song Yi and Xia Meiai in advance, then extract each word separately, and then synthesize it into a conversation.
For example, Song Yi said a few sentences, "I'm going to work", "What are we eating tonight", "Jun Ji-hyun's new movie is great", "Are there any guests at home", then these sentences can be extracted into a synthesized recording "I went to Jun Ji-hyun's new home".
"I understand. I will get back to you as soon as possible." Lin Zhiling replied.
Shin Min-kyung carefully put the porcelain into the safe, and Lim Ji-ryung took the windproof lighter. She needed to hand the lighter to Chen Fuzhen as soon as possible, and Chen Fuzhen would hand it to Gu Ji-eun of SA Soft. Gu Ji-eun would lead SA Soft's professional technicians to produce a flawless synthetic recording.
When Le Xiyi returned home that night, the first thing he did was to check the recorder in the safe. He was relieved only after he confirmed that no one had touched the marks on the recorder.
After he put the recorder into the safe, he was about to make another mark, but Shin Min-kyung called him over in the bathroom to help scrub her back.
It had been a while since Le Xiyi and Xin Minjing had taken a bath together. He thought it would be in time to come back and mark the place later, so he locked the safe door and went to the bathroom. "Honey, don't worry, I'll be there soon."
At this time, Song Yi's personal bodyguard Park Tae-sik sneaked into Le Xiyi's private residence like a clever big cat. Park Tae-sik had seen the floor plan of Le Xiyi's house long ago, and quickly entered the study, opened the password, and replaced the recorder in the safe. Park Tae-sik wiped off the fingerprints on the surface of the safe, and then quietly left the house.
Park Tae-sik is the bodyguard assigned to Song Yi by Zhou Zhengyong, the founder of Hyundai Group. He was previously a member of the Black Berets, the most elite special forces in South Korea. After retiring from the army, he joined the Hyundai Group and provided security and defense for the core members of the Hyundai family. Before retiring, the National Intelligence Service of South Korea invited Park Tae-sik to join, but Park Tae-sik refused.
Park Tae-sik was an orphan who was sponsored by the Hyundai Welfare Foundation to go to school and then join the army. Zhou Zhengyong bought him a house, married him a wife, and had children. How could he give up his job at the Hyundai Group and join the National Intelligence Service?
After Park Tae-sik left the private residence of Le Seok-ik and got the recorder, he returned to the car and listened to the contents of the recorder. After confirming that he had taken the recorder correctly, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He will give the recorder to Jung Eun-sun later, and Jung Eun-sun will give it to Ha Mi-ae.
Xia Meiai will use the content of the recorder to find out the monitoring devices in her home. Then she will work with the Director of the National Intelligence Service, Kim Sung-guk, to follow the clues and wipe out the monitoring network of the former director, Park Jin-hwan.
In 1997, the National Intelligence Service had a scandal of eavesdropping on high-ranking political and economic figures in South Korea. The eavesdropping equipment in Xia Meiai's home was left by the Zhong Wanyou government. Except for Kim Sung-guk in this term, the relationship between the National Intelligence Service and the US military stationed in South Korea has been very close. The Americans have infiltrated South Korea through a powerful eavesdropping intelligence network and influenced South Korea's political and economic structure.
In the bathroom, Le Xiyi became alert immediately after learning that Song Suying from the SK family would come tomorrow to appreciate the celadon jade-colored melon-edged pot that Xin Minjing had bought.
Unlike Lin Zhiling, Song Suying of SK family has a good personal relationship with Song Yi. She was a student of Song Yi's father Song Mingzhe when she was studying at Yonsei University.
When Kim Tae-hee was planning to build THE Art Museum, Song So-young also provided a lot of suggestions. Le Xiyi subconsciously felt that Song So-young was not a good person, so he decided to take the recorder to the Suwon Prosecutor's Office for safekeeping tomorrow to avoid any more trouble.
After taking a shower, Le Xiyi returned to the study, took out the recorder from the safe, listened to the recording again, and after confirming that there was no problem with the recorder, he put it back in the safe and marked it again.
After hearing that everything had been settled, Song Yi, who was far away on Deyogi Island, was finally able to relax from the tense mood of the past two days.
"Taesik, you did a great job. In two years, we at SA Films will make an action movie based on you, called 'Red Hot Agent'. We will invite Won Bin to play you. The male lead's name will be Park Taesik, what do you think?" Song Yi joked with Park Taesik.
"Chairman, people like us should be as low-key as possible, and the fewer people who recognize us, the better. If you make a movie like this, I won't be able to stay by your side and protect your safety." Park Tae-sik hesitated.
Song Yi said to Park Tae-sik, "You are wrong. I have always been a person who rewards meritorious deeds and punishes mistakes. After the movie is made, you can live a normal life with your wife and children. By then, I will arrange for you to be a security supervisor at SA Soft, working from 9 to 6, with two days off a week. You can also spend more time with your children."
When Park Tae-sik heard Song Yi say this, he was very grateful. He had indeed thought about working for the Hyundai family for his entire life. But Song Yi now gave him a better choice, and he had no reason to refuse Song Yi's kindness.
Thank you for your monthly votes. Park Tae-sik in "Red Dead Redemption" is so handsome! (End of this chapter)
