Standing outside the office door, Jin Yong Shun’s figure appeared particularly lonely in the corridor.
His head was bowed, and his heart was undergoing a tumultuous self-examination.
Choi Eun Ho’s words echoed in his ears: "Think more independently." This sentence, like a key that unlocked the door of doubt, caused Jin Yong Shun to question everything he had long believed.
He was a prosecutor, a guardian of the law, an enforcer of justice.
He began to doubt, were those colleagues who spoke with righteousness in court, those meticulous Han Department heads in the office, and even himself, were their actions truly as upright as they seemed?
Or, was all this just an illusion, a facade of hypocrisy, hiding behind it was the exchange of interests, the game of power?
The CPU was burned dry.
Jin Yong Shun’s thoughts were like a pool of muddy water, unable to discern the truth. A huge stone seemed to press down on his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
He shook his head vigorously, trying to shake those tangled thoughts out of his mind. He took a deep breath, then strode toward the office.

“Prosecutor, the members of the Chuan Nan Society have been interrogated. These are their indictment materials and confessions,” Park Guk Chang, with astounding efficiency, presented the criminal files of those offenders to Choi Eun Ho within an hour.
Choi Eun Ho smiled slightly, nodding in satisfaction, “Guk Chang, you did a great job. With you around, my work is much easier.”
This was the necessary praise from a leader to a subordinate, and it was his strategy for manipulating employees.
Sure enough, Park Guk Chang’s face lit up with joy at these compliments. He bowed deeply, then said excitedly, "It is the greatest value of our affairs officers to be able to help the prosecutor."
Hearing Park Guk Chang's words, Choi Eun Ho also felt a sense of immense comfort. They looked at each other, unable to help but laugh.
Everyone was a part of the peninsula's system, they understood each other, and they knew what they were doing.

“Long time no see, Chairman Che.” Choi Eun Ho took a sip of the fragrant Pu’er tea, smiled at Che Jae Jin across the table, and a suppressed anger flickered in his eyes.
After submitting the indictment to the court, Choi Eun Ho led a group of people to this ancient tea house to communicate with Che Jae Jin.
“Prosecutor Choi, just say what you have to say,” Che Jae Jin’s voice was noticeably suppressed.
“Didn’t I already say it?”
Choi Eun Ho replied calmly, “I just hope you can give a small portion of the Seoul Paradise Hospital cake to the Seven Star Society.”
“For that little profit, you shut down my casino?!”
Che Jae Jin slammed his hand on the coffee table, the suppressed anger in his voice finally erupted,
“Aish, you should have said so earlier! I’ll give it to you! Aish!”
In that instant, the atmosphere in the tea house instantly froze, the tension between the two men was almost tangible.
Choi Eun Ho gently put down the teapot, his eyes calm as he looked at Che Jae Jin, his voice unhurried, as if discussing the weather:
“Coming here, one should let go of their anxieties and enjoy a cup of tea peacefully. While I did destroy your underground casino, upon reflection, isn't there some fault on your part?”
As he spoke, he poured a cup of fragrant tea for Che Jae Jin,
“If you had readily agreed to my proposal in the beginning, then the subsequent troubles could have been avoided. Chairman Che, you should understand the logic behind this.”
Che Jae Jin leaned back abruptly, his face turning pale, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He had seen countless battles in the underworld, but prosecutors as direct and arrogant as Choi Eun Ho were something he hadn’t encountered in a long time.
This man didn't promise him any benefits, just a single sentence, and he wanted to take money from him!
Friends, who understands, today a low-ranking prosecutor called me and directly wanted to freeload off of me!
He didn't want to, the prosecutor actually threatened him and even hit him!
So helpless! So desperate! What to do?
After learning of the devastating news of his casino being shut down, he immediately called Han Seong Dong again.
Han Seong Dong still couldn't solve the problem in the end.
Che Jae Jin did not directly mention the organ trafficking on the phone, he only vaguely stated that he had not shown disrespect to Choi Eun Ho, and he was deeply puzzled by Choi Eun Ho's targeting.
Although Han Seong Dong was in power, he was also unable to intervene across departments. He could only delegate this thorny problem to his subordinate, Kim Yong Shun, who was overflowing with a sense of justice, asking him to thoroughly investigate Choi Eun Ho’s actions.
He only needed to slightly reveal Choi Eun Ho's corruption!
Jin Yong Shun would act like a rabid dog, relentlessly pouncing on him, tearing off Choi Eun Ho's disguise and exposing his secrets.
Whenever Che Jae Jin thought of the person behind Paradise Hospital, he was filled with regret.
He had been reluctant to get involved in this kind of transaction, but since his first involvement, it was like water spilled out, impossible to retrieve.
Perhaps giving half the profits to the Seven Star Society would bring more protection from those behind the scenes and reduce some of the pressure?
Che Jae Jin couldn’t figure out why Choi Eun Ho, this madman, was abandoning other more profitable businesses and focusing solely on organ trafficking.
He was also too lazy to delve deeper. As long as he could maintain the stable development of his gang, he was content. Battling wits with these officials was not something he could handle.
His current opposition attitude clearly could not change the established facts. It was estimated that the second casino would also be shut down sooner or later.
Who should I talk to?
Che Jae Jin asked with a sense of helplessness.
My brother-in-law. Choi Eun Ho’s lips curled up into a smile.
Jang Tae San? Che Jae Jin furrowed his brow.
When and where?
After Choi Eun Ho clearly stated the specific time and location, Che Jae Jin left the tea room with a surge of anger.
Staying any longer, he would probably have to pay another round!
Choi Eun Ho ignored him, instead taking out his phone and calling Jang An Tae.
Hello, Dad.
The Chuan Nan Society matter has been settled, as long as Big Brother...
