Cash King’s Genius Grandson Becomes a Tycoon – #162

Ha In-sun’s Mercedes Maybach stopped in front of a mansion in Namsangol Hanok Village [a traditional Korean village in Seoul].
The driver got out and opened the rear door.
Dressed in all black from shoes to hat, she emerged.
She turned her head, comparing the surrounding houses to Cheonshinjae [likely referring to her own residence or a place of significance].
It was on a scale that couldn’t even be compared to the surrounding traditional Korean houses.
It was the largest Korean-style house in Korea.
She had bought the house, which was owned by the Japanese military, at a very low price before liberation [referring to Korea’s liberation from Japanese colonial rule in 1945].
With her body held upright, she approached the large gate.
The gate opened naturally, and the eyes of everyone inside turned to her.
At her appearance, people stopped what they were doing and bowed lightly.
She nodded lightly and walked through the grassy garden into the main building.
As she entered the room, everyone stood up and paid their respects.
Ha In-sun took the seat of honor and sat down.
“We greet the Divine Woman.”
They bowed with tense expressions.
Ha In-sun’s expression was full of annoyance and dissatisfaction.
She took off her hat and tossed it on the table.
The faces of those who occupied the chairs were all stiff.
“Report.”
“We have closed all business locations in Busan, Gwangju, and Incheon.”
“What about the video materials?”
“We have gathered them all here.”
“Did you sell all the real estate?”
“Everything has been taken care of. The proceeds from the sale were laundered thoroughly by routing them through overseas paper companies several times.”
“Double-check it. Never leave a trace!”
“I will keep that in mind.”
The secret organization ‘Sincheong,’ to which Ha In-sun belonged,
had been operating member-only hostess bars in the provinces for a very long time.
They satisfied the various desires of the powerful people in the area.
In return, they secured a large amount of secret and sordid material.
They blackmailed them to gain considerable benefits.
It was insignificant compared to the profits earned in Seoul, but it wasn’t bad.
However, they had no choice but to close down due to the interference of Hwashin Distribution and the persistent pursuit of the prosecution.
While cleaning up, they must never leave a trace.
Ha In-sun couldn’t help but become sensitive.
“Finance Director, how are the investment results?”
“Well, it’s not bad. It’s really good. We made a profit of about 1 trillion won [approximately $800 million USD] in 2006.”
Ha In-sun’s eyes widened.
It was the most pleasant news she had heard recently.
“Really? 1 trillion won is amazing. What’s the secret?”
The Finance Director avoided Ha In-seo’s gaze.
“We just happened to invest in companies with good performance.”
“What are the names of those companies? I should hold a thanksgiving ritual. Hohoho.”
Unlike Ha In-sun, who had a satisfied expression, the Finance Director did not answer.
She noticed the Finance Director’s uncomfortable expression.
“I’m curious, please tell me.”
“That’s…”.
“You’re so frustrating. It’s nothing much. And why don’t you say it when it’s good news?”
Her voice was full of annoyance.
“It’s Shinhwa Group.”
“What?”
As soon as she heard the name, she slammed the table with her palm.
The teacups on the table rattled and made a noise.
“What? Shinhwa Group? Do you sell your pride for money? Withdraw it immediately.”
“Divine Woman. Our financial situation is serious. It will be a disaster if the money that went into Cheonjihoe [likely a rival organization] and Star Group doesn’t come back.”
“Don’t worry about that. It will come back soon. Even so, how can we invest in Shinhwa Group, our enemy?”
“Well, in recent years, the stocks of Shinhwa Group affiliates have been soaring. It’s common for them to rise several times over.
Chairman Yoon Jung-hoon seems to have a natural talent for management.”
It was the Finance Director’s objective evaluation.
However, Ha In-sun naturally compared Yoon Jung-hoon to Lee Seok.
Poor management performance compared to Yoon Jung-hoon.
Her expression was contorted.
“Shinhwa Mipo Shipbuilding has risen by a whopping 30 times. We couldn’t just sit and watch.”
“Hey, are you just blabbering whatever you want because you have a mouth? Should I tear that mouth of yours some more?”
Thinking that they were insulting her cub, her face was full of venom.
She glared at the Finance Director, who was praising Yoon Jung-hoon without any tact.
“Ah, no.”
The Finance Director lowered his head, looking around.
An elderly man stepped forward.
“Divine Woman, we have no choice right now. It’s difficult to distribute drugs with Cheonjinhoe, and all the profits from entertainment have been cut off. There’s no money coming in, but the money going out remains the same. The organization’s funds are about to run out.”
After biting her lower lip tightly, she said briefly.
“Clean it up as soon as possible.”
“I’m sorry.”
Her pride was hurt, but she had no choice but to allow it because of the organization’s financial difficulties.
She frowned as she looked at the head of the action team sitting at the end of the table with his head bowed.
“And what the hell is going on with that bitch Cha Bo-ah? Why is she crawling out on TV and causing a fuss?”
Ha In-sun’s voice rose more than an octave.
“Well, we tried to lure her out by saying that Chairman Lee Seok was calling for her, but suddenly a guy named Jung Eun-soo appeared and protected Cha Bo-ah.”
“What? Eun-soo?”
She had a puzzled expression at Ha In-sun’s reaction.
“Do you know him?”
“Ah, no, continue.”
“We managed to subdue him by taking Cha Bo-ah hostage, but Yoon Jung-hoon appeared and… we were defeated.”
“Tell me more details. How much did you subdue that Eun, I mean, that guy? Was he badly hurt?”
“Yes, we beat his whole body with iron pipes, so he’ll be suffering for a few days. Ah, we also hit his head hard, so he might be in the hospital with a brain hemorrhage.”
“What?”
She had a panicked expression without realizing it.
Ha In-sun’s pupils trembled.
Her heart was pounding.
‘Will he be okay? He has to be okay. No, he’s just just some random kid.’
She strongly gripped the armrest of the sofa, avoiding people’s gazes.
Her long nails broke.
‘No, I can’t waver any more.’
The head of the action team, who was watching her, saw her stiffened face.
He hurriedly reported the next plan.
“We will definitely cut off that bastard’s breath soon. Divine Woman.”
“No, that child is…”.
“Yes?”
“… No.”
“What should we do with Cha Bo-ah? It seems like she has a thing for that Jung Eun-soo guy.”
It was when he was lying on the floor, beaten more severely than a dog by Yoon Jung-hoon.
He remembered seeing the two of them rubbing their lips for a long time.
He was dumbfounded by the two of them who were sucking and rubbing in that situation.
‘Anyway, these young ones,’
He thought that they didn’t know how to distinguish between time and place.
“Leave that bitch alone for now. She already has a fan club. If we touch her carelessly and things go wrong, it will be a big problem if we get caught.”
“I understand. Divine Woman. And do you happen to know Park Chang-soo of Hwashin Distribution?”
“Isn’t Hwashin Distribution the ones who took away all our business?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“I thought Park Chang-soo was the president, but he was just a figurehead. Hwashin Distribution is also owned by Yoon Jung-hoon.”
“What? Seriously…”
Her head was spinning.
She thought that Park Chang-soo and Yoon Jung-hoon were in a cooperative relationship.
If Yoon Jung-hoon is holding Hwashin Distribution too…
It had become a mountain so huge that she didn’t want to think about it anymore.
“Why suddenly Park Chang-soo?”
“He’s been hanging around the Divine Woman.”
“The reason?”
“We are investigating now.”
“Bring me the data if you have it.”
“Yes. Here it is. Park Chang-soo used to be the head of the action team for the International Gang. He is very skilled. In particular, he is said to be exceptional at using swords because he was a Kendo athlete [Kendo is a modern Japanese martial art descended from swordsmanship].”
“Why is that guy looking for me?”
She tilted her head and looked through the documents.
His address caught her eye.
Chungbuk Goesan?
And a man with the surname Park.
It was ominous.
Her mother’s warning came to mind.
‘You should always be careful of guys with the surname Park. Especially those who are from Chungcheong-do, you should never put them in our organization. We wiped out the Park family a long time ago, hehehe.’
The secret gold mine of Emperor Gojong [the last emperor of Korea] in Goesan, Chungbuk.
Gojong planned to raise an army in Manchuria with the money he had mined from the gold mine.
Ultimately, the goal was to cross the Yalu River and advance to Seoul.
To ensure security, the secret bodyguards sent by Emperor Gojong guarded the gold mine, and their relatives mined the gold mine.
Everyone’s surname was Mujin Park.
Ha In-sun’s organization Sincheong and the warriors of Cheonjihoe, and Japanese ronin rushed in and annihilated them.
Even the babies, they wiped out the seed.
She felt a strong aura of bad karma.
“Investigate Park Chang-soo more.”
“Yes, Divine Woman.”
At that time, the door opened quietly, and a woman in a neat hanbok [traditional Korean dress] whispered in Ha In-sun’s ear.
She nodded slowly.
“Let’s stop here for today. I hope to hear only good news at the next meeting.”
“Yes, Divine Woman. We will definitely eliminate those adulterous bastards.”
“We will try to increase investment returns.”
Ha In-sun glared at the head of the action team once.
She got up from her seat, turned around, and left.
Only a cold chill remained in the room.
Ha In-sun, who went out of the main building, was guided by her secretary and opened the door behind the main building.
As she entered, there was a yard, and there was a Korean-style house that was larger than the main building.
She took off her shoes on the stone steps and went up, and carefully stood in front of the door.
“Mother, did you call me?”
“Come in.”
She carefully opened the sliding door and entered with a light step.
A neatly dressed old woman was guarding the seat.
It was Kim Ae-wol, the previous Divine Woman of Sincheong and her teacher.
“Did you get a report about Park Chang-soo?”
“Yes.”
“He is a descendant of the Imperial Guard. We wiped out the seed, but how did he survive?”
“What should we do?”
“We have to wipe out the seed once again, like back then.”
The old woman’s eyes were full of murderous intent.
“All the women and children, hahaha. I heard that they found a gold vein again in the abandoned mine. It was originally ours. We have to find it, right?”
“Ah, I understand.”
“Go and show them how scary we are.”
“Mother, the military power of Cheonjihoe has been annihilated. Shall we contact Japan?”
“You stupid bitch, your husband ruined things, and the Yamaguchi-gumi [a notorious Japanese Yakuza organization] was destroyed. Tokyo has been taken over by the guys Yoon Jung-hoon is supporting. Right now, the Japanese prosecutors aren’t making any moves for some reason. It seems like they are being threatened by Yoon Jung-hoon.”
“What does that mean? Mother.”
She was shocked to hear news that she didn’t know.
“You bitch, you only knew how to stick with Cheon Seong-han, you didn’t do anything.”
“…I’m sorry.”
“The power that the Emperor has is now only one left. I don’t think he will give that power away. Hit your husband, Lee Heon. You weren’t an affectionate couple from the start, so you won’t have any pangs of conscience.
Anyway, if you bring all the real estate that bastard has, that power might move. That’s the last chance to save Star Group and your son.”
“I’m preparing for it.”
“You don’t need to poison him with the medicine you asked Cheon to get.”
“Yes? How did you know that?”
Her heart was about to stop because of Ae-wol, who knew everything.
“Did you think I was just an old woman in the back room? Feed him this. He’ll die of a heart attack in a few days.”
“Where did you get this?”
“You bitch, don’t be interested in useless things. And if you hug the child you abandoned when he comes back alive, you’ll die.”
A bitter smile.
It was definitely a face she knew.
“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Is that so? Then you can do whatever you want. I’ll have to do whatever I want too.”
“Ah, no, Mother. I will restrain myself.”
“Remember that as long as I’m alive, the authority to depose the Divine Woman and appoint the next Divine Woman is in my hands!”
“Yes, Mother.”
“Get out now, you stupid bitch.”
Ha In-sun slowly got up from her seat.
She grabbed her trembling legs.
She bowed her head and said goodbye before going outside.
The cold air made her wake up.
‘A dead child is just a dead child.’
If she wavers any more, she will lose everything she has built up so far.
Lee Seok and Cheon Seong-han, whom she loves, and this position that she has sacrificed everything to reach.
With a firm determination, Ha In-sun took out her phone.
“It’s me. The gift for Lee Heon is no longer needed. I’ll take care of it.”
“What? Are you sure?”
“Yes, my mother gave me a gift. Don’t worry.”
“Okay. Take care of yourself.”
“Yes. See you soon.”
Ha In-sun, who hung up the phone, clenched her fist.
She looked up at the sky.
Shining stars were studded all over.
She must become a shining and beautiful being like a star.
She constantly reminded herself of what she had to do.
***
After work, Jung-hoon went to the theater.
It was Friday evening, so it was crowded with people.
The theater was crowded with people who wanted to see
A man in a black suit stood in front of Jung-hoon.
“Are you Chairman Yoon Jung-hoon?”
When he nodded, he bowed politely and escorted Jung-hoon.
“Here it is. Have a good time.”
He pushed open the heavy door and went inside.
It was dark, so he couldn’t see the surroundings well.
He took out his cell phone and shone it as he moved forward.
Jung-hoon unfolded the folding theater seat and sat down.
It was a private hall where only VIPs could enter, so the seats were also special.
An empty theater with no one.
He looked at his watch.
It was past the arrival time, but she still hadn’t come.
Could something have happened?
Jung-hoon shook his head.
It’s normal for girls to be 5 minutes late.
Still, Da-hye is never more than 10 minutes late.
The door at the back of the theater opened, and the area around the door became bright because of the light from outside.
A black silhouette slowly entered the theater.
The lights turned on, and the faint face finally revealed itself.
“Hey, Park Da-hye.”
Jung-hoon called her out loudly, and she had a flustered face.
“Hey, be quiet. People are looking…”
She turned her head, but there was no one.
“Where are the others?”
“There aren’t any.”
“Isn’t this movie popular?”
“That’s right.”
“When I looked outside, it was sold out, so it should be full.”
“No, I rented it all out today.”
“What?”
She had a surprised expression.
“Hey, how much does it cost to rent all of this?”
“…500,000 won [approximately $400 USD]?”
“Really? It’s not that much.”
He doesn’t know how much it costs.
He didn’t check the price while giving instructions to the secretary’s office.
Maybe it costs about 5 million won [approximately $4,000 USD]?
If he can make memories with just the two of them with that money.
…It’s definitely not a waste.
…It’s not.
Hm hm, he already has so much money that he doesn’t have to worry about the price.
“It’s not that much. I just wanted to watch it with you today.”
Da-hye was worried about the money, but she didn’t seem to dislike it.
Jung-hoon took her hand and led her to the chair in the middle.
Next to the seat, there was popcorn and cola prepared to enjoy while watching the movie.
“Wow, our Jung-hoon has a sense. Popcorn is a must for movies.”
Da-hye, who sat down with a thud, picked up the popcorn bucket and brought it to her chest.
She put her hand in and picked one up and put it in Jung-hoon’s mouth next to her.
Jung-hoon’s face was full of smiles.
After a while, the lights went out and majestic music hit his eardrums.
