After calming down for a while, Zhang Su Xi took out her phone, found the number she hadn't dialed for a long time, and pressed the dial button.
She decided to investigate first. This man seemed to have too many secrets.
The phone quickly connected.
"Is it Su Xi?" The voice on the other end sounded very happy.
"Father."
………
Choi Eun Ho finally found Park Jung Won's home. It was a luxurious detached villa.
Damn it!
The corrupt officials were so despicable. They sucked the blood and sweat of the people, but they wouldn't share a penny with him. They deserved to die.
Choi Eun Ho cursed silently in his heart, determined to make Park Jung Won spit out the money he embezzled.
He pressed the doorbell.
The door opened, and Park Jung Won appeared at the entrance.
He was a middle-aged man with a calm demeanor and a lean build, looking no older than forty. His face was plain, but he exuded an aura of authority.
"I have met the Minister." Choi Eun Ho bowed respectfully.
It wasn't time to turn against him yet.
Park Jung Won frowned and said coldly, "Come in."
Choi Eun Ho put on the slippers he had prepared in advance, but noticed a pair of exquisite leather shoes at the threshold.
It seemed there were others?
"Minister, please forgive me. I came in a hurry and didn't bring any local specialties," Choi Eun Ho said apologetically.
"Let's talk inside. Prosecutor Xu is also here."
Park Jung Won walked towards the living room with his hands behind his back, his mood clearly not good. Choi Eun Ho followed him into the living room and saw a middle-aged man with a slightly protruding beer belly sitting in the main seat, smiling at him.
Choi Eun Ho thought for a moment and recognized the man.
Xu Jin Ming, the director of the Criminal Division III. He was mediocre in ability and ordinary in appearance. He was a notorious "old fox" who had climbed to the position of director by relying on seniority.
He usually just flattered his sponsors and was good at buttering up people, being obsequious and fawning.
It seemed he was here to curry favor with Park Jung Won.
"Director Xu, I didn't expect you to be here?" Choi Eun Ho expressed surprise.
"I just came here to have a cup of tea and discuss life with Minister Park." Xu Jin Ming still had a smile on his face. "Prosecutor Choi is here too."
"I was just coming over to submit my work report. I just handed over a case."
"It's good to be young and full of vitality. You've thrown yourself into a case on your second day of marriage. But I heard that Prosecutor Choi has only handled a few major cases in the past six months, and your assessment scores are not satisfactory. Why have you become so active now?"
Xu Jin Ming took a sip of tea, a smile still on his face.
You can kiss my ass! You little squinty-eyed bastard. I really want to punch you in the face.
Choi Eun Ho felt a little embarrassed.
"Just sit over there."
Park Jung Won pointed to the end of the long table in the living room.
You're making me sit at the end of the table right away. Are you implying I'm just a nobody?
Choi Eun Ho nodded slightly and sat down without making a fuss.
"Minister Park, this case is quite complex. My work report may take a long time, and Director Xu is here as well. It might not be appropriate for him to be here, you see."
Choi Eun Ho glanced at Park Jung Won, then swept his gaze over Xu Jin Ming.
He's implying that it's not appropriate for outsiders to know about what's going on between us. He needs to make his position clear.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jin Ming's face changed slightly. He looked at Park Jung Won and used his eyes to ask for his opinion.
"Director Xu is one of us," Park Jung Won waved his hand, indicating that Choi Eun Ho shouldn't worry and could just speak freely.
"Kim Yong Soon is investigating me." Choi Eun Ho didn't beat around the bush and said directly.
"Why is Prosecutor Kim investigating you?" Xu suddenly interjected.
Choi Eun Ho didn't answer directly but instead asked Park Jung Won:
"Minister?"
Who should I report to between you and him?
"Listen to him finish first."
Park Jung Won frowned slightly, his eyes focused on Xu Jin Ming.
"Yes, yes."
Xu Jin Ming smiled ingratiatingly and nodded repeatedly.
He didn't have a strong background like Park Jung Won. He came from a poor family and could only rely on his sponsors for survival.
Although they were both called directors, the difference in their status was obvious.
"What stage has the investigation reached?"
Park Jung Won turned his head and asked in a low voice.
"They have learned about some of the actions of the Seven Star Society, but if they continue to investigate, they will soon touch upon the things I did for you."
"I see."
Park Jung Won nodded slightly. "What's the situation with the Seven Star Society?"
"They might also realize that I am an undercover agent from the Prosecution Service." Choi Eun Ho continued to fabricate lies.
"Then what do you plan to do? If you can't cover it up, then the person responsible for the investigation..."
Park Jung Won's eyes suddenly became sharp. He didn't want to lose this undercover agent who could bring him countless honors so soon.
He wanted to control Choi Eun Ho for life.
If the investigation continued, his corrupt acts would be exposed, threatening his career.
So, the most direct way was to eliminate the investigator.
If no one was investigating, the secret could be kept.
