The Genius Grandson Of The Cash King Becomes A Tycoon [EN]: Chapter 110

“Hee-do, just confess already. Huh?”

Kang Cheol-jung slammed his hand on the desk in the interrogation room.

Lee Hee-do’s face twisted at Cheol-jung’s words.

‘This little punk, talking to a respected senior like that…’

“Doesn’t feel good to be spoken to informally, does it?”

“Hey, Prosecutor Kang, flying high without knowing your place will get you struck by lightning!”

“We’ll see. Whether I get struck by lightning or tear the sky apart.”

“Someone like you can’t touch it…”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”

Kang Cheol-jung suddenly clicked his tongue.

“Hee-do, what’s the first thing you want to eat when you get out?”

“Why are you suddenly asking that?”

“Just curious. Who knows? Maybe I’ll feel like letting you out because I’m tired of investigating. If I do, be grateful.”

“What are you talking about? Stop with the nonsense and start the interrogation.”

If he gets out, he’ll surely die.

He had just heard the news that Jo Jae-wook had committed suicide.

Now, he’s the target.

Lee Hee-do’s plan was to prolong the investigation as much as possible.

Even though the Cheonji Association’s reach extends into prisons, his chances of survival are highest now, before his sentence is finalized.

He needed to stretch this time out.

He had to grab onto Kang Cheol-jung’s coattails.

Park Hyun-cheol wasn’t deeply involved in the short selling, and even if he was, he had a strong family backing, so they wouldn’t be able to touch him.

But guys like him and Jo Jae-wook were easily disposed of.

“Hey, Prosecutor Kang. If I get out, public opinion will turn sour. Are you okay with that?”

“Who cares about you? Maybe if you have some good information, I might continue the investigation.”

Lee Hee-do had to rack his brain.

He was sorting through valuable information he could give.

“No, it’s fine. Just go. Insufficient evidence. See you around, senior. Buy me a drink next time.”

Kang Cheol-jung smiled brightly at Lee Hee-do.

“No, I’ll cooperate with the investigation. There’s still a lot of information I haven’t told you.”

“It’s alright, senior.”

Lee Hee-do’s eyes trembled as if an earthquake had struck.

And that afternoon, he was released.

“Ha, where should I go?”

Lee Hee-do, out of the detention center, looked around.

He had nowhere to go.

He lowered his head and walked heavily.

A walk is the best way to clear his head.

But his wish didn’t last long.

He was quickly pulled into a van that approached silently.

***

Jeong-hoon looked at the unconscious Lee Hee-do.

He felt sorry for the reality of the man who was once the president of AR Card, a subsidiary of the AR Group.

What was he trying to achieve by joining the Cheonji Association?

‘Just to end up like this?’

Poor bastards.

The tools like Lee Hee-do, not the leaders of the Cheonji Association, were the most pathetic.

They dream of a brilliant flight to higher places, but most of them fall into the ground covered in filth.

The current Lee Hee-do was exactly like that.

Jeong-hoon began the interrogation.

He shone a yellow light on his face, obscuring his vision.

“Name.”

“Who are you guys?”

“Who do you think we are?”

“Cheonji Association, I presume.”

His voice was full of regret.

“Why do you think so?”

“Isn’t it obvious? I inflicted a devastating blow on the organization. It’s a miracle I’m still alive.”

“Is that all you get for 20 years of loyalty?”

“Who are you? Not the Cheonji Association. Ah, you’re that guy from last time. Yoon Jeong-hoon.”

“Hah, you won’t fall for it twice.”

Jeong-hoon replied.

“What do you take me for…”

“What do I take you for? A disposable item with no brains. That’s why you do such things, tsk.”

“Why did you kidnap me?”

“Kidnap? Who? You can leave if you want. I didn’t confine you.”

Lee Hee-do naturally assumed he was confined, but looking again, his hands and feet were all free.

“You can leave if you want. Oh, as you know, they’re desperately looking for you right now… The guy who was trying to get rid of you in prison is out. Now they’ll try to kill you outside.”

Lee Hee-do bit his lip at Jeong-hoon’s words.

He was right.

If he goes out, he’ll die under cruel torture.

In particular, the unbelievable, playful torture of Chairman Lee Seok was only rumored.

He was rumored to be a cruel psychopath.

Everyone begged to be killed during his games.

Lee Hee-do shook his head violently. He wanted to live.

“What do you want?”

“Testimony. I already have the data from your confession of the crimes you committed. But you have to testify in court.”

“If I testify, my family will be in danger.”

“Pfft, what if you testify? You underestimate the Cheonji Association.”

The door opened, and Lee Hee-do’s wife entered.

“Honey, are you okay?”

“What happened?”

“He saved me. I was being kidnapped… Hee-jeong, Hee-soo, and Hee-won are all safe.”

Lee Hee-do said nothing.

A quiet silence flowed.

“That’s what the Cheonji Association is like. They kidnapped your wife, daughters, and son. You know where they are, right? They were heading to Lee Seok’s private villa in Yangpyeong. Actually, I was curious too. Would Lee Seok really do such a thing? But… I couldn’t just watch people die because I was curious.”

“Th, thank you.”

“I need evidence and testimony more than thanks… Think carefully.”

As Jeong-hoon stood up to leave, Lee Hee-do opened his mouth.

His voice was firm.

“I’ll do whatever you want. Thank you again.”

The beginning of his corruption and bribery was ultimately his family.

It started with the hospital bills for his daughter Hee-jeong’s incurable disease.

He was a promising talent who passed the first round of the bar exam, but he had no choice but to give up the exam.

And he gradually became tainted.

While giving up his dream.

Jeong-hoon looked at Lee Hee-do.

He was holding his wife’s hand and closing his eyes.

Lee Hee-do’s eyes were full of regret and remorse.

***

“Lee Hee-do has been released. Kang Cheol-jung is doing things his own way. What should we do?”

“What should we do!”

Park Hyun-cheol shouted.

“Do I have to tell you everything? Figure it out yourself, you bastard. Get out now!”

“Yes.”

A man with an embarrassed expression closed the door and left.

‘Why is nothing working out?’

Park Hyun-cheol was flustered by Lee Hee-do’s release.

Originally, he was going to get rid of him easily in prison, but he had planned to have him killed in the detention center, even if it meant taking risks.

And he was planning to use this as an excuse to send Kang Cheol-jung, who had been negligent in his management, to the Tongyeong branch.

But…

Things had gone wrong.

A nasty face suddenly came to mind.

The bastard who interferes with everything his father-in-law does.

The guy who took away what was so precious to him.

His anger towards Yoon Jeong-hoon soared.

Park Hyun-cheol decided to pressure Han Pan-soo, who was delaying the matter.

He entered the Hanho Group headquarters and took the elevator to the 30th floor.

The red carpet on the floor.

‘Crazy bastard, a red carpet… I’ll have to take care of him.’

As he approached the president’s office, a security guard stopped him.

‘There’s so much in my way today. Damn it.’

He slapped the guard across the face.

“Don’t you know who I am?”

“We are in a meeting with the president. Prosecutor. Please wait a moment.”

Park Hyun-cheol looked around.

A phone was visible.

He grabbed it and slammed it down on the guard’s head.

“Hey, you should have stopped the meeting when I arrived. Didn’t you get a call from the first floor?”

The security guard who had fallen to the floor couldn’t say anything.

Park Hyun-cheol opened the door to the president’s office, which was filled with cigarette smoke.

Han Pan-soo was startled to see him.

“Let’s end the meeting here today. Everyone, leave.”

Park Hyun-cheol took the nameplate that read ‘Han Pan-soo’ and tapped Han Pan-soo, who was sitting on the sofa, on the head.

“Hey, when I come, you should stop the meeting and wait for me.”

“What are you doing?”

“There’s a guy who hasn’t come to his senses even after getting beaten up last time. Hey, I’ll just kill Yoon Jeong-hoon. Hand over Hanho Technology to me.”

“Why are you doing this? Cheon Seong-han is moving. Just wait a little longer.”

“Are you sure Cheon Seong-han is moving?”

“Of course. You can’t just use black ops agents like that. If you give me a little more time, you’ll hear good news.”

Han Pan-soo, who was nervous, appeased Park Hyun-cheol.

“What? Wait?”

Park Hyun-cheol slammed Han Pan-soo on the head with the nameplate in his hand.

-Ugh

“I can’t wait any longer. So figure it out. Either bring him to me or hand over Hanho Technology as promised.”

Han Pan-soo, who was holding his head and bowing, said urgently.

“I understand. I understand. I’ll tell you right away, so don’t worry too much.”

“Ah, and there’s no point in dragging it out. If you’re hoping I’ll collapse on my own, you’re mistaken. I’m Park Hyun-cheol!”

“I understand. Stop now.”

Park Hyun-cheol threw the nameplate in his hand on the floor and left the president’s office.

The reason he messed with Han Pan-soo today was out of remorse for his own weakness.

If Han Pan-soo moves and brings Yoon Jeong-hoon, everything will be alright.

Park Hyun-cheol’s steps were filled with hope as he left the president’s office.

***

“Haa.”

“Haa.”

The rough breathing of a man and a woman mixed together.

The bed, creaking loudly as if it would collapse under the rough movements of the two, finally quieted down.

Cheon Seong-han looked at the woman gasping for breath beneath him.

He stroked her face, which was covered in sweat.

Large eyes with frighteningly deep black pupils, long eyelashes.

And an exotically high nose.

Skin without a single wrinkle.

Her face, which made it impossible to guess her age, was still full of beauty and mystery.

“You’re still healthy, Minister.”

“No, Madam.”

Cheon Seong-han was proud that he had satisfied the woman’s body.

He always missed her, but his time with her always required risking his life.

Today was more affectionate and desperate because it had been a long time.

“Is Chairman Lee Seok doing well?”

She smiled brightly at Cheon Seong-han’s question and replied.

“Yes, he’s growing up well. He has completely taken over the company. Whose son do you think he is?”

The woman hugged him.

“Ha, I want to be in your arms longer today.”

“Madam… really.”

Cheon Seong-han, with a troubled expression, hugged her tightly.

“Call me by my name.”

“Why are you like this…? Is something wrong, In-seon?”

“No. I guess I’m just getting old. I thought I could bear it as I got older, but it’s getting harder and harder. I get goosebumps whenever that bastard touches me.”

“Hmph, hang in there a little longer.”

“Yes.”

Cheon Seong-han’s phone rang.

It was Han Pan-soo.

“What’s going on?”

“Let’s meet now.”

“I’m busy right now.”

“Stop talking nonsense and come out right now.”

“What?”

Cheon Seong-han became uncomfortable.

It was a disrespectful remark.

‘Is this bastard crazy?’

“Where are you? Near your office.”

“Is that so? I understand. Text me the location. I’ll be right there.”

Cheon Seong-han hung up the phone and looked at the woman in his arms.

She was more lovely than ever.

The woman, to whom he had devoted everything, was looking at him with a worried expression.

“Do you have to go?”

“No.”

Ha In-seon’s face, which had been filled with worry, brightened.

“When else would I see our In-seon if not today?”

“Thank you.”

Ha In-seon burrowed into Cheon Seong-han’s arms.

Cheon Seong-han also stroked her smooth skin.

He regained his strength.

The two began their private movements.

The bed where the two lay shook violently.

Cheon Seong-han wanted to make him wait out of spite.

He was the one in a hurry anyway.

“Are you crazy? Making me wait two hours?”

“There was a lot of traffic.”

Cheon Seong-han replied as if it were nothing.

“Get rid of Yoon Jeong-hoon.”

“What? Aren’t we waiting?”

“Park Hyun-cheol came and made a scene. I guess he wasn’t someone who would collapse weakly.”

“That’s right. We underestimated Park Hyun-cheol too much. Hehe, then let’s start as you wish.”

“When can you finish it?”

“Don’t you know? There’s no guarantee with this job. You have to wait to handle it perfectly.”

“I understand. Good work.”

Han Pan-soo got up from his seat.

“Hmm, I don’t know which bitch you were rolling around with, but her perfume is stabbing my nose. Even if you’re in a hurry, you should have taken a shower, hehehe. It’s a fragrance that doesn’t suit the Minister of National Defense.”

“What?”

Cheon Seong-han’s eyebrows twitched.

“Why are you so surprised? I’m not criticizing a man for holding a woman. I’m just curious about which woman shook you, who’s like a stone. Hahaha. Then I’ll be going.”

Han Pan-soo got up from his seat.

As he left the cafe, he thought and thought again.

The perfume on Cheon Seong-han’s body.

It was definitely a scent he had smelled before.

Who could it be?

He was curious about the owner of the scent.

Who was it that moved Cheon Seong-han, who saw women as stones?

Han Pan-soo thought he should investigate.

Maybe he could get a new leash to hold and shake Cheon Seong-han.

***

Jeong-hoon stood in front of the Star Group’s headquarters.

It is South Korea’s top group, accounting for more than 10 percent of the Korean economy.

Star Group wields enormous influence.

Everyone criticizes it, and everyone tries to get their foot in the door.

When their child joins the company, they put up banners.

Even if they get a subcontract from a subsidiary, they don’t have to worry about making a living.

The Star Group is a place of envy and contempt.

Lee Seok, the young leader of that place.

Jeong-hoon will soon meet him.

He was curious how he would handle the 100 trillion won loss of the Cheonji Association [approximately $75 billion USD].

And he wondered if he would willingly give up Star Electric and Star Electronics.

He entered the first floor of the annex and went to the information desk.

“I’ve come to see Chairman Lee Seok.”

“Do you have an appointment?”

The information officer replied matter-of-factly.

“Tell him Yoon Jeong-hoon from Shinhwa Group is here.”

“Yes, yes, make an appointment… Chairman Yoon Jeong-hoon?”

The eyes of the female employee who looked up at Jeong-hoon widened as if they would tear.

With trembling hands, she picked up the phone.

Meanwhile, Lee Seok, who was presiding over a meeting in the conference room to deal with the Cheonji Association’s losses, was intrigued by the news that Yoon Jeong-hoon had come to see him.

‘Did he come to die?’

He remembered the story of Song Cheol-ho of Ilsong Group.

He had proudly bragged about it…

The story of how he had eliminated Yoon Hyun-joong, Yoon Jeong-hoon’s parents, at once when they came to the company.

At that time, he thought it was cowardly.

But his thoughts had changed.

He was actually feeling it himself.

It is not easy to subdue Yoon Jeong-hoon.

His abilities and power were greater than he thought.

And Chairman Lee Seok felt with his whole body that an opportunity like today would not come easily.

A strange light flashed in Chairman Lee Seok’s eyes.
