Zhang Tai Jun watched Cui En Hao's stunned expression and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
Young people, after all, need to broaden their horizons and experience the colorfulness of life. He said, "En Hao, you go first."
The event tonight was meant to give Cui En Hao a glimpse into the world.
"Thank you, Vice Chief."
Cui En Hao bowed politely in gratitude. Then, his eyes wandered among the five women, and he hesitated for a long time, unable to make a choice.
Xiu Ya frowned and asked in confusion, "Are you dissatisfied with them?"
Could it be that his taste was so high that even these couldn't catch his eye?
Did he really expect more "experienced" companionship?
Just then, Park Zheng Yuan suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, "I understand! You don't know, Cui En Hao's new wife is much more beautiful than these women. He probably doesn't find them appealing!"
"Then, let's bring in a different group." Zhang Tai Jun's answer was relaxed and practiced.
"No need."
Cui En Hao quickly stopped him. He took a deep breath, pretending to be embarrassed and shy, and said:
"These five ladies each have their own unique charms. Choosing any one of them means neglecting the other four. I really can't bear to do that."
He used to be powerless to choose. But now, he wants to have them all! Don't get him wrong, this isn't about indulging in desire!
He's just deliberately acting this way to penetrate deeper into this group of hypocritical beasts!
To dismantle them from within, fighting for justice!
Even if it means sacrificing his own innocence, he wouldn't hesitate!
The muscles at the corners of Zhang Tai Jun's eyes twitched, but he still maintained his composure, waving his hand:
"Today was meant for you to relax. You choose first. I'm getting old, I've already grown indifferent to these things."
Park Zheng Yuan also laughed from the side, "En Hao, you go first."
"Hahaha, Chief Prosecutor Cui is truly a connoisseur of beauty!" Zheng Yong Hao was the first to burst into laughter. He had developed a liking for this young man.
"Thank you, Vice Chief. Thank you, Director."
Cui En Hao rose and bowed, expressing his gratitude.
After getting up, a relaxed smile spread across his face. He casually pointed to three people, then eagerly walked over, put his arms around Qiu Zi Xian, who looked nervous, and the other two beauties, put his arm around their shoulders, and walked towards the side.
Zhang Tai Jun looked at Cui En Hao's tall and slender back and couldn't help but sigh, "Youth is truly wonderful!"
He was already in his fifties, his physical strength was not what it used to be, but he was still unwilling to admit he was getting old. He had cultivated a skilled tongue and adept hands.
Park Zheng Yuan also cast an envious gaze, but he still had confidence that he could charge into battle at any moment.
As the saying goes, even an old hen can fly thousands of miles.

Seoul, Jung District, a villa.
Zhang Su Xi's cheeks were slightly flushed. As she entered the password for the front door, she couldn't help but glance at the shoe cabinet by the entrance. That familiar pair of gray slippers sat quietly there. She gently touched her cheek with the back of her hand, as if she could still feel a trace of warmth left behind.
She quickly walked into the kitchen and neatly arranged the groceries she had just bought.
Then, she took a bottle of water from the fridge and eagerly drank half of it.
She had only been newly married and had taken a few days off work. She had seized the opportunity to have a good chat with her colleagues at the court.
However, the senior judge who was already a mother and whose children were all in high school, spoke frankly and unrestrainedly, without any inhibitions.
She even asked how Cui En Hao was behaving.
Initially, Zhang Su Xi thought she was asking about Cui En Hao's performance in court, but it turned out...
She had never experienced it herself, so how could she give an answer?
Zhang Su Xi couldn't help but smile, her heart seemed to already be picturing those details described by her senior.
However, the vibration of her phone in her pocket suddenly shattered this reverie.
She took out her phone, and the screen displayed a text message from Cui En Hao.
A sense of foreboding instantly swept over her heart.
"Vice Chief Zhang assigned me some work, I have to go out tonight, I won't be coming back." The text message read.
"Again... not coming back?"
Zhang Su Xi sighed softly, her eyes fell on the shopping bags on the table, her mood gradually sank.
She didn't call Cui En Hao because he had chosen to send a text message, which meant he was at work and couldn't answer the phone.
This was a common occurrence for a prosecutor.
She simply replied with a few words, then began putting the groceries back in the fridge one by one.
Since Cui En Hao wasn't coming home, she couldn't muster any enthusiasm for cooking.

Inside the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, Kim Yong Sun stood in Han Cheng Dong's office, his head hung low, his expression filled with remorse, enduring Han Cheng Dong's stern reprimands.
"Yong Sun, how could you say such things in court!
I sent you to investigate the connection between Cui En Hao and the Qi Xing Society, but not only did you fail to find any concrete evidence, you actually gave them a boost in reputation!"
Han Cheng Dong slammed his fist on the desk, his voice filled with disappointment and anger.
"Director, En Hao did nothing wrong!"
Kim Yong Sun widened his eyes, his voice low and firm:
"The Vice Chief has already cleared him, and his behavior doesn't seem like he's involved with any gangsters."
"Ah Shi Ba! Are you an idiot?"
Han Cheng Dong cursed angrily.
Park Zheng Yuan was clearly using Zhang Tai Jun's influence to elevate Cui En Hao's position. Cui En Hao's previous actions were either instructed by Park Zheng Yuan or demanded by Zhang Tai Jun.
Having been suppressed by Zhang Tai Jun for a long time, and with a strained relationship with Park Zheng Yuan, he had finally found an opportunity to strike at their power.
But he didn't expect Kim Yong Sun, this stubborn fool, to be deceived by Cui En Hao, completely played around!
Han Cheng Dong was furious, but he couldn't do anything about it. As people of their level, they couldn't personally get involved in dealing with Cui En Hao, everyone knew this.
If you make a move against my subordinates, I'll find a superior to deal with you.
Wouldn't that make the Prosecutor's Office just like a gang?
"Yong Sun, I'm not trying to reprimand you, but I hope you can cultivate the ability to think independently. Don't be easily swayed by other people's words!"
Han Cheng Dong said with a heavy heart:
"That Cui En Hao is clearly someone who is eloquent, smooth-tongued, and can talk his way out of anything, how could you believe his words?"
Kim Yong Sun stood in front of the desk, listening silently, his eyes flashing with thought.
Han Cheng Dong and Park Zheng Yuan have a conflict, Cui En Hao is Park Zheng Yuan's subordinate, and Vice Chief Zhang provides support for Cui En Hao.
Cui En Hao told him to think independently, to judge based on facts, not to be influenced by emotions.
Director Han also advised him to think independently, not to be deceived by other people's words.
He felt that both of them had a point.
Therefore, he now believes that Han Cheng Dong couldn't stand the fact that Park Zheng Yuan's Criminal Division Six was thriving, so he was making things up and slandering Cui En Hao for having ties with gangsters.
He knows Cui En Hao, he's always been a young man with a passion for justice.
