The Genius Grandson Of The Cash King Becomes A Tycoon [EN]: Chapter 175

#175

“What’s going on?”

“I have something to tell you regarding Lee Hun’s will.”

“Didn’t you say you had nothing to say?”

“I apologize.”

Jeong-hoon checked his watch.

He couldn’t be late for his appointment.

They rode the elevator down together, talking.

“What is it you want to say?”

“Park Su-gil forged the will.”

“What? What are you talking about? Didn’t you say you notarized it together?”

“…Yes.”

The person who notarized it together remained silent while the forged will was announced.

He wondered if he had misjudged the person.

“Then reveal the truth. I’ll help you.”

“Actually, Elder Lee Hun thought this far ahead. He told me to back down if Park Su-gil threatened me regarding the will.”

Jeong-hoon was so surprised that he couldn’t say anything.

Lee Hun had thought this far ahead.

“He asked me to deliver this to the Chairman.”

Lee Pan-ho handed Jeong-hoon a USB drive.

“What’s inside?”

“I don’t know.”

Jeong-hoon bit his lip at Park Su-gil’s uninhibited criminal behavior.

“Hmm, Representative Park Su-gil threatened Lee Pan-ho with the will, which means he forged it, right?”

“Yes, the original will included a paternity suit. He said to bequeath the assets to his real family, depending on the test results.”

In the end, he was to bequeath it to Jeong Eun-soo, his biological son, not Lee Seok.

“But a completely new will came out.”

Jeong-hoon replied to the furious Lee Pan-ho with a bitter expression.

“Forging a will is nothing to them. Ah, you said he threatened you. What did he say?”

“He said I wouldn’t be able to set foot in the legal profession.”

“Were you scared?”

“No. I thought I should work even harder on the task the Chairman instructed me to do.”

“Should I thank Representative Park Su-gil?”

“Perhaps. I really want to show him how scary I can be.”

A murderous glint flashed in Lee Pan-ho’s eyes.

A self-proclaimed genius, the best in Korea.

He gritted his teeth.

Jeong-hoon looked forward to his performance.

This data would be a very good bait to strike Park Su-gil.

“Then please make sure that Representative Park Su-gil and Haesong can’t set foot in the legal profession.”

“Yes, Chairman.”

Dahye’s voice came from behind.

“Jeong-hoon.”

Jeong-hoon turned his head and looked at Dahye.

She was standing there in a simple outfit, wearing jeans and a white shirt.

Jeong-hoon carefully examined her expression.

For a brief moment, he felt like worry had flashed across Dahye’s face.

‘Did she hear?’

Jeong-hoon didn’t want Dahye to hear about her grandfather’s story.

However, her unusually bright expression, different from usual, made Jeong-hoon uneasy all evening.

***

After finishing their date and returning home, the two shared a short kiss and then went to their respective rooms.

Jeong-hoon took the USB out of his bag and plugged it into the computer.

There was a video file saved.

He carefully clicked on the file.

Lee Hun’s figure appeared on the small computer screen.

“Nice to meet you. This is Lee Hun. To think that I, who tried to kill you, would die and ask you for a favor. Hahaha.”

He chuckled awkwardly.

“The fact that you’re watching this video means that Park Su-gil is supporting Lee Seok, a fake son who isn’t of royal blood…”

Lee Hun explained his situation in the video.

The Cheonji Association’s honor guard was destroyed because of his son, Lee Seok.

The Yakuza [Japanese organized crime syndicate] he brought from Japan were also annihilated in Busan.

The Hyuyang Society’s elite unit and the Yamaguchi-gumi [a major Yakuza group], who were trying to attack Korea from Tsushima Island, were also dismantled.

The two allied forces of Korea’s Hwashin Distribution and Shin Byung-gyu’s Inagawa-kai [another Yakuza group] quickly seized the night streets of Tokyo, where the Yamaguchi-gumi was destroyed.

They thoroughly destroyed the remaining Yamaguchi-gumi forces.

The situation was difficult to rebuild.

According to him, the remaining power of the Hyuyang Society was only the forces hiding in the Self-Defense Forces [Japan’s military forces].

Lee Hun calmly explained his situation, but in reality, he was explaining in detail the remaining remnants of the Cheonji Association and Japan’s Hyuyang Society.

Their remaining power was insignificant.

“As you know, I have no power. Except for our Lady Hainseon’s ‘Application,’ which I can’t control…”

He also explained in detail the power and scale of Shincheong.

Was the purpose of the video… the annihilation of the Cheonji Association, Shincheong, and the Hyuyang Society?

Otherwise, there was no reason to tell him in such detail.

‘What made him escape from his delusion?’

He wondered.

As if Lee Hun had seen through Jeong-hoon’s mind, he resolved his question.

“Eun-soo has grown up well. He was an easily misguided child with many scars, but you stayed by his side and kept him from wavering. He grew up to be a child who knows how to love literature and art. I know that you and Lady Hyeon’s help were great. Thank you.”

His face showed both love for Eun-soo and disillusionment with his own life.

“The very short moment I spent with my son Eun-soo made me escape from my foolish delusion. Through that child, I realized my unhappy life. I had been sitting in an unsuitable position for too long.”

Eun-soo had changed him.

“Hmm… I can’t be forgiven for the sins I’ve committed, and I don’t want to be. I have only one request for you. Please root out the delusions of the people who remain. That’s the favor I’m asking of you.”

Lee Hun’s goal was the annihilation of Shincheong, the military of Cheonseonghan, and the Hyuyang Society.

And the proper inheritance of the estate.

“I want to bequeath all my assets to my son, Jeong Eun-soo. I think that child can use it in good places, not in vain places, so please. And I hope you don’t hate my beloved wife and his mother too much. We were all just Kim Ae-wol’s toys.”

With those words, the video ended.

Seeing a man’s belated regret made him feel bitter.

A friend’s father.

Jeong-hoon sincerely prayed for Lee Hun’s soul.

‘But what does he mean by Kim Ae-wol’s toys?’

He wondered, but put it aside for now.

Now was the moment to destroy Park Su-gil’s Haesong for the sake of proper inheritance.

Jeong-hoon remembered the day he blew up the Ilsong Group’s headquarters with dynamite.

It was a symbolic act.

From that day on, Ilsong was quickly erased from people’s minds.

He decided to give Haesong the same gift.

The next day, as soon as he arrived at the company, he looked for the chief of staff.

“Did you find me?”

“I’m going to strike Haesong now.”

“You can wipe them out if you want to.”

A shadow fell over Cha Young-mi’s face at the mention of hitting Haesong.

“I’m going to destroy them with law, not force. It’ll be fun to see the sword they’re so proud of stab them. And… Cheonseonghan will be the next target. Don’t be too upset.”

Cha Young-mi replied with a bitter smile.

“No. We need to prepare the best revenge as much as it’s been delayed.”

Jeong-hoon felt sorry for her awkward smile.

“Now, shall we find a way to destroy Haesong?”

“I’ve entered Haesong’s system several times, but all the important data is only connected to the internal network. So I can’t access it.”

“So, someone has to go and connect it?”

“Yes, you have to connect directly. And if the capacity is large, you may need to operate a wireless communication vehicle nearby. But what kind of great information could be on Haesong’s secret server?”

“I don’t know, but if the data there is released, more than half of Korea’s elite will be blown away.”

“Really?”

“Looking at the contents filmed at the last Sugeumjae and Daewongak, they concealed evidence of crimes and even created crimes that didn’t exist. They created charges to blow away some of the disobedient chaebol guys [wealthy business tycoons]. They are shameless guys when it comes to getting money and power.”

“Ha, amazing. As amazing as they are, I have to send them off properly. Just connect me. I’ll burn them properly.”

Jeong-hoon felt a chill down his spine when he saw her bitter expression.

He felt a murderous aura that seemed like she was really going to set a fire.

“Chairman.”

“Yes?”

Cha Young-mi stared at Jeong-hoon.

“What do you mean?”

“The Chairman has to connect it himself.”

“Me? This?”

She nodded slowly.

“No one but the Chairman can access it. I don’t even know where Haesong’s internal network computer is right now. But it’ll definitely be in Attorney Park Su-gil’s room. The person who can enter there most easily is… Dahye’s grandfather, even if the relationship isn’t good, the granddaughter’s future husband.”

“I guess so.”

It was an unavoidable situation.

Jeong-hoon also thought he was the right person.

But for some reason, he felt a little unpleasant, as if he was being pushed into it.

He regretted that he should have said he would do it, but he didn’t show it.

“Then I’ll prepare.”

Cha Young-mi replied in an excited voice and then left the chairman’s office.

A few days later, Jeong-hoon received a small USB from Cha Young-mi.

She said to plug it into the USB port on the back of the computer.

“It has a wireless Wi-Fi function, so I can access the internal network through it. That’s all it takes to end the game.”

Cha Young-mi said, raising one corner of her mouth.

***

Jeong-hoon went to Seocho-dong to meet Park Su-gil.

Every time he went to Seocho-dong, he felt a creepy feeling, thinking about the explosion before he returned.

Jeong-hoon stood in front of the Haesong Building, where many people came and went.

He carefully stepped inside.

He had already made an appointment, so he went inside without any special procedures.

A secretarial staff came out to greet him and took Jeong-hoon to the room where Park Su-gil was.

He opened the door to Park Su-gil’s office and went inside.

He was sitting at his desk, reviewing documents, and said briefly without looking at Jeong-hoon.

“Sit on the sofa.”

He was quickly flipping through the documents with a frown on his face.

“Wait a moment. I have to review the pleadings.”

“Yes.”

Jeong-hoon sat on the sofa and began to look for the computer, avoiding Park Su-gil’s eyes.

He was reviewing the documents, but he was also glancing at Jeong-hoon and watching him.

The monitor on Park Su-gil’s seat came into view.

And, there was a monitor on Park Su-gil’s right.

‘That’s it.’

Jeong-hoon, who had identified the location of the computer that he didn’t use often, fiddled with the USB in his arms.

Then, he took out his phone from his pocket and pushed it between the sofas.

Park Su-gil finished his work and got up from his seat.

Jeong-hoon also got up and greeted him.

His face was full of scratches here and there. And his gait also looked awkward.

“You don’t look good.”

“I fell down the stairs. I don’t think we’re in a relationship where we ask each other how we look.”

“I guess not.”

Park Su-gil’s eyebrows rose at Jeong-hoon’s reply.

“Show some respect. Even if I’m an enemy, I’m Dahye’s grandfather.”

“If you want.”

Park Su-gil’s cheeks trembled at Jeong-hoon’s sarcasm.

“Did you come to tease me? Tell me why you came.”

“I came about Elder Lee Hun’s inheritance issue.”

“It’s not a matter for you to get involved in.”

“I heard you forged the will. You should inherit it according to the will left by Elder Lee Hun.”

“It’s already been inherited by Lady Hainseon and her only son, Chairman Lee Seok.”

“I know that the paternity test is also included in the will. You completely created a new will. I don’t know if it’s Lee Hun’s will or Representative Park Su-gil’s wish.”

Park Su-gil made a cold expression at Jeong-hoon’s words.

“Listen, what I decide is the law. If Lee Hun’s will is to have legal effect, it must be approved by this Park Su-gil.”

Park Su-gil’s eyes were full of frosty anger.

“I, Park Su-gil, cannot allow a will like a paternity test. So I created Lee Hun’s will anew. For the Cheonji Association and our Sadaebu [historical Korean aristocratic class].”

He was serious.

His will was the law.

“As expected, you’re completely crazy. Elder Lee Hun knew this would happen and asked me for a favor. He asked me to destroy Haesong. Then, he asked me to help him inherit his estate to his only son, Jeong Eun-soo, or Lee Hwan.”

“Hahaha.”

Park Su-gil burst into laughter.

“Listen, didn’t I say that I’m the law? Try it if you can.”

His words were not wrong.

Haesong, who controlled the police, the prosecution, and the court.

Jeong-hoon couldn’t subdue him yet.

It was possible to bring gangsters and wipe them out, but he definitely wanted to destroy this Haesong and the legal cartel by law.

Park Su-gil continued when Jeong-hoon said nothing.

“I’ve been working hard so far, trusting only Gu Han-soo. Now Gu Han-soo’s time is over. Then I’ll eat the huge food called Sinhwa deliciously. I’ll be very full, hahaha!”

Park Su-gil glared with a chilling expression.

“Do as you please. But I also promised Elder Lee Hun. I will do my best to keep that promise.”

“If you insist on hastening your death, I’ll take it.”

-Knock, knock, knock.

The door opened and the secretary came in.

“Representative, you have to leave.”

“What?”

“There’s a special lecture at the Judicial Research and Training Institute today.”

“Oh, I forgot about that.”

Park Su-gil said, getting up from the sofa.

“Get out of here. We won’t see each other again.”

Park Su-gil took his topcoat from his hanger and slowly left the room with an uncomfortable gait.

Jeong-hoon also got up from his seat.

He couldn’t avoid the eyes of the secretary who was watching him in front of the door.

He went out and went into the bathroom, took out a small earphone from his arms.

“It’s starting now. Get ready.”

“Yes.”

Jeong-hoon licked his parched lips with his tongue.

He was nervous because it was something he hadn’t done in a long time.

He walked back towards Park Su-gil’s room.

He approached the secretary who was sitting at her desk looking at the monitor.

“I think I left my cell phone in the representative’s room.”

“Yes? Cell phone? Just a moment. I have to get permission to enter the representative’s room.”

After asking for understanding with a kind smile, she picked up the phone and pressed the number.

‘Damn it, nothing is easy. If I just wiped them out, it would be over in a few hours.’

In a tense moment.

Jeong-hoon carefully watched the secretary making a call, hiding his pounding heart.

“Representative.”

Jeong-hoon’s Adam’s apple heaved greatly.
