Jin Yong Shun slowly raised his head, his face serious as he said, “Minister, you are right, I do need to think for myself. Thank you for the reminder.” He bowed deeply, then turned and walked towards the door.
“Hey, come back!”
Han Cheng Dong slammed his hand on the table in anger and shouted.
Jin Yong Shun stopped in his tracks and asked with a serious expression, “Is there anything else, Minister?”
Seeing Jin Yong Shun’s expression, Han Cheng Dong suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. He waved his hand in frustration and said, “Forget it, forget it. You can go, it’s time to clock out.”
“Yes.”
Jin Yong Shun bowed again, then stepped out.
The moment the door closed, Han Cheng Dong slammed his fist on the table, his chest heaving violently with anger.
He knew that he couldn’t strike Park Jung Won and Zhang Tae Jun effectively for now, and he could only endure for the time being.
As for Choi Eun Ho, he didn’t care much. He was just a newly hired prosecutor, and he happened to be assigned to Park Jung Won. In the battles between the higher-ups, such people were often just cannon fodder.

………
In a high-end hotel in the Gangnam district, Choi Eun Ho had just led Qiu Zi Xian and two other companions to the gaming tables for a few rounds.
Afterwards, he led them to a luxurious guest room, intending to continue their pleasures in this private space.
The moment the door closed, it shut out the noise from the outside world. At this moment, Choi Eun Ho felt like he was the master of this space.
He relaxed and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
The two women rushed towards him eagerly, vying to fawn over him. One gently massaged his shoulders, while the other lightly patted his thighs. They poured him drinks and, with seductive smiles, brought fruit to his lips.
“Oppa, please allow me to toast you.”
“I have always admired you…”
Choi Eun Ho was naturally bad at refusing, so he simply went along with their kindness. He embraced them, left and right, and enjoyed the view of the Korean peninsula’s stunning beauties.
Among the crowd, Qiu Zi Xian stood out as completely out of place.
She was like a lost lamb in a pack of wolves, standing there dumbfounded, her heart filled with confusion. Her red lips were tightly pressed together, as if she couldn’t make up her mind.
“Come here.” Choi Eun Ho beckoned to her.
The two women turned their heads towards Qiu Zi Xian, their eyes filled with mockery and disdain, as if mocking her self-righteous claim to be a pure and innocent maiden.
Qiu Zi Xian gently pursed her red lips, her steps determined as she walked towards Choi Eun Ho. After a slight bow, she stood quietly in front of him.
Choi Eun Ho looked her over carefully. The familiar face, delicate features, and gentle temperament gave her a feeling of a virtuous wife and good mother.
After all, she was only 22 years old.
Although she was slightly less open-minded than the other two women, her height of 1.7 meters gave her a pair of long, slender legs that looked even more seductive under the thin black stockings.
Under Choi Eun Ho’s gaze, Qiu Zi Xian felt uncomfortable, and her shame made her beautiful face gradually turn red.
Suddenly, Choi Eun Ho pulled her into his arms.
“Ah!” Qiu Zi Xian cried out in panic, like a startled quail, lowering her head, not daring to look ahead.
Choi Eun Ho hugged her slender waist tightly, his chin resting on her shoulder, smelling the faint fragrance of her hair, and asked softly, “Why, don’t you want to keep me company?”
Feeling Choi Eun Ho’s breath close to her ear, Qiu Zi Xian’s earlobes turned crimson, and her body tensed up.
She instinctively nodded first, then quickly shook her head.
She had come here because of the pressure from the unscrupulous company, and she had no choice.
Compared to those greasy old men with full stomachs, accompanying Choi Eun Ho was more acceptable to her.
Moreover, she also wanted to seize this opportunity to take a shortcut.
In the entertainment industry, it’s hard to get ahead without a backer. She also hoped that someone would protect her.
Qiu Zi Xian shyly closed her eyes, looking pitiful. She whispered, “Can we… let them leave first?” This seemed to be her last stand.
The two women beside her immediately glared at her. They had misjudged this little girl. She actually wanted to hog all the attention! She wasn’t afraid of being suffocated.
“You two, get out.” Choi Eun Ho waved his hand, his eyes cold. In his eyes, those two women seemed to be not even as good as Qiu Zi Xian’s shadow.
They tried to soften his heart, “Oppa~”
“Scram!” His voice was like hailstones in winter, hitting their hearts.
Just now, he had been affectionate with them, but now, Choi Eun Ho used his actions to vividly interpret the meaning of ruthlessness.
They shivered in terror, their faces turning pale in an instant. They dared not resist in the slightest and could only kneel down and bow deeply, then hurriedly leave.
Qiu Zi Xian looked at him, her face full of gratitude, her eyes confused, her voice as thin as a mosquito’s: “Thank you, Oppa.”
Then, she closed her eyes again.
“Don’t worry, I’m a responsible man. I will take responsibility for you.” Choi Eun Ho’s voice was as gentle as the warmth of spring sunshine.
Qiu Zi Xian felt a little warmth in her heart when she heard his words.
However, she soon realized the meaning of Choi Eun Ho’s “taking responsibility.”
Afterwards, she curled up in his arms.
“What’s your name?”
Choi Eun Ho leaned against the headboard, one arm around her, the other holding a cigarette after the event. He asked casually, as if he already knew the answer.
After all, Qiu Zi Xian wasn’t famous yet. Logically, he shouldn’t know her name.
Qiu Zi Xian’s face turned as red as a ripe apple. She apologized softly, “Sorry, Oppa, I don’t want to make any noise, but I really couldn’t help it…”
“I asked you, what’s your name.”
“Ah!” Qiu Zi Xian was stunned, her face even redder, as if she was ashamed. She instinctively covered her face, her voice muffled, “Qiu Zi Xian.”
She looked a little silly.
Of course, he was more inclined to believe that this woman was deliberately pretending to be this way, just to please him.
She had grown up in a harsh environment, started living independently early, worked and studied, and after years of struggle in the entertainment industry, she had achieved a certain degree of success.
How could such a tough and intelligent woman really be as naive as she appeared? It was just a deliberate disguise.
However, Choi Eun Ho didn’t mind.
After all, he wasn’t thinking about marrying her.
He just wanted to be friends with her.
As the saying goes, the more friends you have, the more paths you have.
And the more girlfriends you have, the more paths you have.
