"...What, you have a person in charge here? Where is he? And the hard drive that stores key information was also taken away?!" Kim Jong-min, who had arrived at the private club floor, understood the current embarrassing situation after asking his subordinates.
Although a lot of people have been arrested, the most crucial physical evidence may be missing. It will probably take a lot of effort to bring all these guys to justice!
Fortunately, Kim Jong-min had experienced many big scenes, so faced with such an unexpected situation, he did not dwell on it for too long. He immediately asked his trusted subordinates to collect other evidence as soon as possible, such as taking photos of the scene and backing up the video in the monitoring room.
Some officials in Seoul and even the Blue House secretly thought they were lucky when they saw that the leader was Kim Jong-min, the chief prosecutor of the Prosecutor's Office. But when they learned that there were videos in the monitoring room and in each room, they didn't know that they had been set up by Shin Dong-byung! It's fine that that bastard opened a private club, but what's the point of secretly recording videos? Is he going to use these dirty materials to threaten them and drag them all into the water? !
Of course, they also wanted to ask for mercy from Chief Prosecutor Kim Jong-min. As long as the truth was not revealed, their attempt could still be saved! However, there were too many outsiders at the scene, and once they opened their mouths, they would inevitably be noticed by everyone. It was better to cover their faces as much as possible and wait for a suitable opportunity to talk to the other party later.
The calmest people at the scene were the actresses, singers and trainees of JYP Entertainment. The relief they had been longing for came so unexpectedly, and after learning that it was the staff of the Seoul Prosecutor's Office who "rescued" them, some women with weaker psychological endurance burst into tears.
The other women didn't seem to be infected by this special atmosphere and started crying as well. The atmosphere at the scene became silent for a moment.
Especially the three views of those young prosecutors were greatly impacted and challenged at this moment. Before this, they thought that those high-ranking politicians and corporate executives did not care about the lives of the grassroots people. They did not expect that they had such a dirty and shameless side! If these guys did not have those special identities, the indignant young prosecutors might want to teach these "scumbags" a lesson at this time!
…
After more than half an hour of collecting evidence and confirming that nothing was missed, Kim Jong-min picked up the phone and called the head of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency. He briefly described the situation here and asked for support from the other party.
The original head of the National Police Agency, Zheng Yanbin, was quite dissatisfied with Kim Jong-min's behavior of acting alone.
However, when he heard that the other party needed support, implying that the police still had a chance to get some credit, Zheng Yanbin smiled and agreed.
Since the Procuratorate has already taken control of the situation, the police can just do the work without putting in any effort. They can get a lot of credit just by following the procedures and doing a little favor. Why not do such a good deal?
…
It was not until after four in the morning that the raid came to an end. Only the building security personnel who heard the noise and were observing from an inconspicuous place nearby witnessed the entire process of those people being taken away.
The young security guard tried to stop them, but was quickly scolded by his experienced colleagues. "Those guys are obviously not ordinary people. There are so many of them. We can't afford to offend them! Just pretend you didn't see anything!"
"...But, aren't we the security guards of the building? Now the safety of the people in the building is threatened, shouldn't we step forward to stop it?" The young security guard couldn't help but retort.
"Asiba! Are you stupid at work? You only earn so little money a month, why are you working so hard? If you lose your life, you will lose everything! We will not get involved. At most, we will just get scolded. What can we lose?!"
The old colleague was quite disdainful of the young security guard's impulsiveness. He had seen many similar things before. If he rashly got involved, it would only bring trouble to himself and would not bring any benefits. It would be better to stand aside and report to the superiors afterwards. It would be much easier to clear the responsibility! ...
In the underground parking garage of a community in Jiangnan District, Xu Zhenghong, who had finally escaped from the private club, was anxiously waiting for Xin Dongbing's arrival.
However, after waiting for more than 20 minutes, he still didn't see the other party. When his patience was about to run out, he subconsciously picked up his phone to contact Xin Dongbing again, and suddenly a few familiar figures walked over from the entrance.
Xu Zhenghong, who was a little nervous at first, was relieved when he saw that the other party was also a subordinate of Xin Dongbing. He subconsciously asked, "Did President Xin ask you to come to pick me up?"
"That's right, we are here to pick you up!" The other party quickly approached and took out a pistol with a silencer from behind.
"…What do you mean?! President Xin promised me that he would arrange for me to go abroad to hide!" Xu Zhenghong looked at the black muzzle of the gun pointed at him. Xu Zhenghong trembled all over and looked at the other party in horror. This was completely different from what he imagined!
"Oh, really? But President Xin also told us to kill you in advance, so that you won't fall into the hands of those prosecutors and become their tool against us! Sorry~!" As soon as he finished speaking, the other party decisively pulled the trigger and shot him dead.
Then he quickly searched the other person's body, and only heaved a sigh of relief after finding the hard drive. He then called on several other companions to load Xu Zhenghong's body into the car, intending to transport it to the beach and dump it directly into the sea. This was also a disguised fulfillment of Xin Dongbing's promise to the other party to "go abroad to avoid the limelight"! ...
When a special report submitted by the Seoul Prosecutor's Office was delivered to Mr. Daejong in the early morning, the kind-hearted president was furious! He had never expected that there was such a filthy place in Gangnam District, Seoul! What made him even more angry was that there were not only many JYP Entertainment female artists who had been raped in this private club, but also some self-degrading officials from Seoul and even the Blue House. It was simply a disgrace to their official reputation!
"...Mr. Da Zhong, how do you think this matter should be handled?" The subordinate at the side asked cautiously. He did not expect that the Procuratorate would send such a big "gift" so early in the morning. If it is not handled properly, it will be very difficult to deal with it!
Mr. Da Zhong thought for a while before speaking in a low voice, "Notify the Procuratorate. These morally corrupt guys must be brought to justice. No leniency!"
"...Yes!" The subordinates nodded in agreement.
…
In the interrogation room of the Seoul Prosecutor's Office, Kim Jong-min watched his subordinates repeatedly questioning the club staff in the observation room nearby, and laughed and teased, "These guys are quite tough, but those female artists and guests may not be so!"
"Attorney General, you are right! After the prosecutors we arranged explained the situation to those female artists, some of them soon expressed their willingness to cooperate with us to act as witnesses. We only hope that these guys can be brought to justice...", a trusted subordinate with a keen eye took over the conversation at the right time.
"…It's not easy to bring all these guys to justice. Although we have witnesses, we still lack some physical evidence. By the way…is there a backup of the video recorded in the surveillance equipment over there?" Kim Jong-min did not let down his guard despite the "big harvest" in front of him.
In their previous operation, they failed to capture a key figure of the private club (the person in charge Xu Zhenghong), and the other party took away the most critical information. This resulted in that although they learned that Xin Dongbing, the president of Yuetian Group, was most likely the behind-the-scenes boss of this private club, they still had a big lack of evidence.
Although money-for-sex transactions are illegal in Goryeo, if nothing else is involved, those guys will at best be infamous and will not be punished too harshly.
"...According to the inspection of the technical department, some videos in the device and some videos that have been deleted recently can be restored and copied." said the subordinate as if seeking credit.
Hearing that the video data could be restored, Jin Zhongmin's originally solemn face suddenly broke into a smile. It seems that this time, he can add another glorious achievement to his list of achievements!
...
Yuetian Trading Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of Yuetian Group.
"President, we have dealt with that guy as you ordered! This is the information he brought out from the club!" The subordinate with an expressionless face took out a hard drive from the tool bag and placed it on the table next to him.
Seeing that the task he had assigned was completed smoothly, Xin Dongbing, who originally had an ugly expression on his face, immediately showed a relieved smile, "Haha, well done! In this way, even if those guys catch those people, they will not be able to convict them! Money and sex transactions are not considered serious crimes..."
Xin Dongbing, who had been nervous for several hours, was completely relaxed at this moment. He had originally prepared for the worst. Once the truth was revealed, the worst that could happen was that he would run to other countries to hide like before and never return to Goryeo in this life!
It seems that his luck is pretty good now. Even if those guys are caught, he may not be implicated. Then he can find professional lawyers to help him with the matter, and it should be able to be settled quickly.
But no one knows whether the subsequent development of the matter can really be as simple as he thinks.
…
In the following two days, with the permission of senior Blue House officials, the Seoul Prosecutors' Office announced that it had investigated a private club in Gangnam District that was suspected of engaging in money and sex transactions with multiple people, including officials and even senior executives of large companies. The Seoul Prosecutors' Office will file lawsuits against these people in the future.
The first to be hit were Park Jin-yong, the president of JYP Entertainment, a group of small bosses of the private club, and the club's behind-the-scenes boss - a senior executive of Yuetian Group (who was kicked out by Shin Dong-byung to take the scapegoat).
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Secondly, the officials who were deeply involved in the scandal had all been directly dismissed by the leaders of the higher authorities, and they were immediately distanced from the scandal, so as to avoid causing more public opinion as time went on.
…
Inside the golf course of the Shilla Hotel.
Kim Jong-min, who had just finished a game, returned to the rest area and asked Zhang Junfeng while drinking water, "Brother Junfeng, why don't you let me take out all the information? I think with Mr. Da Zhong's character, he will continue to investigate even if this matter involves Yuetian Group and SK Group..."
Zhang Junfeng did not answer directly, but smiled and asked, "Brother Zhong Min, do you think that with the information we have now, we can really cause serious damage to Yuetian Group and SK Group? If the other party does not pay a high price and then turns around to cause trouble for you, do you think Mr. Zhong can protect you?"
Hearing Zhang Junfeng's question, Jin Zhongmin smiled awkwardly. He understood what Zhang Junfeng meant. He was afraid that he, the Chief Prosecutor, would be retaliated against by the other party!
If you think about it, it is true. After the previous financial crisis, these large domestic enterprises and chaebols cannot have too big problems. Otherwise, once large enterprises like Yuetian Group and SK Group go bankrupt or even close down, it will inevitably cause a new round of unemployment, which is definitely a heavy blow to Mr. Da Zhong who is pursuing economic recovery!
Seeing that the other party understood what he meant, Zhang Junfeng raised his lips and said something intriguing, "Calculating the time, a new round of elections should be held in more than a year, right?"
"What if the gentleman who takes office at that time has a natural dislike for these big companies and big chaebols? Wouldn't it be better to hand these things over to him and let him go to the evil guy and punish them?"
At this moment, Zhang Junfeng couldn't help but recall the series of measures taken by Mr. Wu Xuan, who came to power in his previous life, to deal with Hyundai Group and SK Group. Given his personality, once he got to know the good things done by the senior executives of Yuetian Group and the chairman of SK Group, there would be a fierce confrontation, right? Because of this unexpected incident, Zhang Junfeng felt that this might also be an opportunity and a turning point. Since Mr. Wu Xuan has always been so hostile to the chaebols, it might not be a bad thing to take advantage of his mentality and let him deal with the companies that have conflicts with Zhang Junfeng and solve the trouble for himself! ...
Hearing Zhang Junfeng's unexpected plan, Jin Zhongmin frowned and thought for a moment, then quickly understood the deep meaning, and then laughed, "Brother Junfeng, you are really amazing! This is exactly the same idea as our Procuratorate's use of those special archives!"
"It's all thanks to you, Brother Zhongmin, for successfully restoring the deleted data from those devices. Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought of this arrangement!" Zhang Junfeng replied with a smile, "If nothing unexpected happens, the Blue House should issue a notice in the near future to commend you, the 'great hero'. I think it shouldn't be a problem for you to be promoted to the director of a department in the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, right?"
"It shouldn't be a problem! According to the inside information I got, I might be promoted to the director of the Central Investigation Department!" When talking about promotion, Kim Jong-min showed a smug smile on his face. If he wants to climb up further in his current position, he can only go to the Supreme Prosecutor's Office or be transferred to the Ministry of Justice of Goryeo.
It's just that the Central Investigation Department is the most powerful department in the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, which is much more comfortable than being transferred to the Ministry of Justice to hold a nominal position without real power! Moreover, after arriving at the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, Kim Jong-min may have the opportunity to take a step further on the "financial giant" Comet Capital and climb to the position of Deputy Chief Prosecutor or even Chief Prosecutor! ...
As time went by, this scandal that broke out at the end of the year and affected both the political and business circles was quickly overshadowed by other news under the joint efforts of multiple forces. The most eye-catching event was the bidding conference for the Jeju Island tourism project led by the Blue House.
After nearly a month of publicity and preparation, many representatives from well-prepared companies and institutions came to the Blue House to participate in the on-site bidding!
Since the entire Jeju Island tourism project was divided into more than ten sub-projects, in order to improve the efficiency of on-site bidding, a blind bidding method was adopted. After all sub-projects were successfully bid, the project contract needed to be signed within a week and construction started on time one month later. The construction period varies according to the size of the project.
This somewhat special method made many companies that came here a little confused. It must be said that this kind of secret bidding is a bit confusing! After all, if they bid too little, wouldn’t it be snatched away by other companies? But once the price is quoted too high, their burden will be much heavier. After all, according to the previous regulations, they need to advance the money in the early stage. This means that the higher the price they bid now, the more they lose! Only a very small number of representatives of companies that were well prepared showed no change on their faces, as if they had everything planned out.
…
While these domestic companies were competing for Jeju Island tourism projects, Zhang Junfeng took his wife and children and invited Li Jae-yong and his wife, as well as his sister-in-law Li Shuxian, to go on vacation to Qiong Province in Longguo.
However, before they set off, Zhang Junfeng specifically reminded Li Fuzhen that if Hanjin Shipping Company subsequently took on large orders for transporting goods to Jeju Island, it should remember to increase the transportation fees by 10-20%. In any case, it was those "suckers" who were being cheated.
Li Fuzhen was also shocked by Zhang Junfeng's "cunning"! No wonder her husband did not take any action after proposing the Jeju Island tourism project. It turned out that he had made plans long ago and tricked all of them!
If the raw materials needed for construction and development are all mined from the island, it will inevitably lead to the inevitable destruction of the entire natural environment of Jeju Island.
However, transporting a large amount of construction materials and equipment from land to Jeju Island would inevitably require large cargo ships. The Galaxy Group would definitely reap the benefits of this wave of profits no matter what! (End of this chapter)
