The Genius Grandson Of The Cash King Becomes A Tycoon [EN]: Chapter 194

#194

Despite the doctor’s advice to rest for a few days, I couldn’t just lie there.

I suppressed the pain with painkillers and left the hospital for the office.

Cha Youngmi headed towards the computer room where she used to work.

Now, Chun Jinhyuk is the team leader.

As I opened the door, the heat radiating from the servers and computers hit my face.

Chun Jinhyuk was sitting at his desk, focused on the monitor.

Even with Cha Youngmi gone, he seemed surprisingly calm.

I wondered if it was due to his psychopathic tendencies.

Her husband, Lee Byeongseok, stood anxiously around him.

He was nervous.

Even though it was a pre-planned operation, he was worried about his wife being kidnapped alone.

Moreover, the absence of a key brain.

Anxiety and unease were palpable in everyone’s eyes.

Jeonghun had to reassure them.

“The signal will come soon. The moment Youngmi turns on her laptop, her location will appear. And when they connect to Youngmi’s laptop, all their information will be transmitted here.”

“Yes, what does that mean?”

They looked like they didn’t understand easily.

“The laptop Youngmi carries is bait. It’s loaded with hacking programs. The moment those guys connect to analyze it, it’s all over.”

“Won’t it be dangerous?”

“We have to make sure it’s not dangerous.”

The intercom rang.

“Chairman, Ms. Ha Inseon has arrived.”

Jeonghun looked at Eunsoo.

She fidgeted and avoided his eyes.

“She said she wanted to tell us about Chun Seonghan. I should have told you in advance, I’m sorry.”

Eunsoo replied in a small voice without looking at Jeonghun.

“…It’s okay. We have to join forces. Yes.”

It’s true.

We need to gather all our strength now.

Especially Ha Inseon, she was in a position to know the most secrets and weaknesses of Chun Seonghan.

The head of the enemy.

Can we trust her?

She gave up everything to save Eunsoo.

Now, there’s no reason not to trust her.

Jeonghun guided her, who was hesitating at the door, to a seat.

“Please, sit down.”

“No. It may not be very important information. I’ll just tell you that and leave. My presence will be uncomfortable.”

Jeonghun nodded at her words.

He hadn’t considered the feelings of the people sitting there.

No one except Eunsoo was friendly to her.

People were glaring at her without blinking.

Hostility was written all over their faces.

In particular, Park Changsoo was staring at her as if to kill her with his blazing eyes.

Averted people’s gaze, she bit her lip tightly.

After taking a deep breath, she opened her mouth.

“Chun Seonghan is preparing a coup.”

“A coup?”

Everyone’s eyes widened as if they were about to tear.

“Chun Seonghan is the leader of Hanahoe, a secret organization within the military.”

“Wasn’t it thoroughly purged?”

“No. Even after the massive purge, the remnants who secretly survived were quietly building their strength. Star Group provided enormous funds to revive them. They were building up their strength, planning for 10 or 20 years from now.”

“Is the purpose of the coup to seize power?”

“Yes. And the revival of the monarchy.”

“Pardon?”

“They dreamed of establishing Lee Seok, whom they considered the rightful heir to the imperial family, as emperor and maintaining permanent power under him. Think of Thailand, and you’ll understand.”

“Ah.”

Short exclamations flowed from everyone’s mouths as if promised.

“But now that Star Group is in crisis, they were significantly advancing the schedule.”

“Is Star Group important to them?”

“Yes. Hanahoe is also a group that pursues greed. If there is no force to provide financial support, there is no cohesion.”

Everyone who was looking at Ha Inseon nodded.

“To prevent the coup, Chun Seonghan must be eliminated.”

A sharp murderous intent was felt in Kwak Hyunsoo’s voice.

Ji Hyunbok nodded in agreement with Kwak Hyunsoo’s words.

“Yes, we must kill him this time.”

Ha Inseon opposed Kwak Hyunsoo’s words.

“No. Not yet. We need to wait and identify all the members of the organization.”

“How can we figure that out?”

Kwak Hyunsoo frowned as if frustrated.

Ha Inseon lowered her head and pondered, as if contemplating how to find out the list of members.

Watching her, Jeonghun admired Cha Youngmi’s insight.

A chuckle escaped.

He shook his head at her meticulous plan, which wasn’t usually like her.

‘Did she think that far ahead?’

“Cha Youngmi will send the list. We just have to wait a little longer.”

“Yes? What are you talking about?”

Jeonghun explained to the people who widened their eyes.

“The Defense Security Command arrested Cha Youngmi, but they must be holding her somewhere else.”

Chun Jinhyuk continued Jeonghun’s words.

“Yes. Both Youngmi and I expected that. And we expected that the place would probably be the headquarters of Chun Seonghan’s organization.”

“That’s right. Their headquarters. There must be traces of communication with the members of the organization. We just need to find those traces.”

Everyone nodded.

“Everyone must be anxious, but let’s wait a little longer. The signal will come soon.”

Jeonghun was worried about her, but he didn’t show it.

She made a great contribution to Shinhwa Group coming to this day.

He wished her safety.

“Chairman.”

Chun Jinhyuk shouted.

“It’s here. The location signal is coming.”

“Hoo.”

A long sigh escaped from Jeonghun’s mouth.

It seemed she was safe for now.

Now it’s time to save her.

“Where is she?”

“That’s… it’s Gangnam.”

“Pardon?”

Cha Youngmi is imprisoned in the middle of the city.

And that’s the base of the Hanahoe guys.

Base.

A gunfight is also possible.

We already had a huge amount of weapons purchased from the Russian guys.

“Are there enough rifles and ammunition?”

Kwak Hyunsoo and Ji Hyunbok looked surprised.

“Surely, Chairman. A gunfight in the middle of Seoul is not possible.”

“We have no choice. And we have to step up. We have to take them out before the soldiers move and fight each other. If things go wrong and a civil war breaks out, it will be even more serious.”

“Even so, causing a large-scale gunfight in the middle of Gangnam will cause big problems.”

“Then let’s get permission, no, notification. Then there will be no problem.”

“Where are you going to notify?”

They looked puzzled.

Jeonghun got up from his seat and pressed the intercom.

“Connect me to the VIP at the Blue House [the presidential residence in South Korea].”

“Yes? How do you get there?”

The secretary’s voice trembled.

“If you say Elephant, you’ll be connected.”

“Elephant?”

Everyone’s reaction was puzzled, but Ha Inseon was different.

Her eyes widened rapidly.

She asked in a trembling voice, embarrassed.

“Elephant? Could it be? Chairman Yoon Jeonghun was Elephant?”

***

President Park Myungdeuk was reviewing payment documents in the Blue House office.

He raised his head at the knock.

The door opened and he came in with hurried steps.

He came close to the chair where Park Myungdeuk was sitting.

“What’s going on?”

“Mr. President, we have a call from Elephant.”

“What?”

President Park Myungdeuk was startled.

‘What’s going on?’

This was the first time they had contacted him like this.

He reached under the table and fumbled for the bottom plate.

The burner phone he gave him was still there.

He wondered what was going on.

Elephant.

He suddenly contacted him five years ago and provided a huge slush fund [secret fund, often used for illegal or unethical purposes].

It wouldn’t be wrong to say that he became president thanks to that money.

And he didn’t hesitate to contact him at every political crisis and give him wise advice.

Until now, he had only contacted him with a burner phone.

No one knows of his existence except his wife and a few close aides.

“What should I do?”

The chief of staff asked.

“Wait a minute, did you track the location of that call?”

“Yes. It’s the Shinhwa Group chairman’s office.”

“What? Are you talking about Chairman Yoon Jeonghun?”

“Yes, that’s for sure.”

Park Myungdeuk couldn’t believe it.

He is Elephant.

Yoon Jeonghun is from President Gu Hansoo’s faction.

He was a figure who rose rapidly under Gu Hansoo.

When he first tracked Elephant, he was also a strong candidate.

But he was excluded from the candidates because of Gu Hansoo.

There was no reason for him to support himself, who was on the opposite side of Gu Hansoo.

Combining what he had said so far, he was at least 50 years old.

But Chairman Yoon Jeonghun in his mid-20s?

Park Myungdeuk had to solve his curiosity first.

“Connect me, and you get out.”

“Yes.”

“This is Park Myungdeuk.”

“This is Elephant.”

The voice of a young man without voice modulation flowed out of the intercom.

It was definitely Yoon Jeonghun.

“Are you Elephant?”

“Hmm, speaking informally is unfamiliar.”

He was startled that he had spoken unnecessarily to the young chairman.

“I’m sorry. Chairman Yoon.”

“No. Mr. President. I am Elephant. Were you very surprised?”

“Yes, honestly. I didn’t think you would be this young. I expected you to be at least 50 years old.”

“Age is not important.”

“That’s right. By the way, what’s the purpose of your call today?”

“There seems to be a big commotion in Gangnam [a wealthy district in Seoul].”

“What kind of commotion?”

“A gunfight may occur. I ask for your understanding.”

“Yes? I’m embarrassed. Is there a reason?”

“I’m going to eliminate the forces preparing a coup.”

“Surely? Does Hanahoe [a controversial secret military society] really exist?”

Gu Hansoo also knew.

But he thought it was just a rumor.

It was already a completely eliminated organization.

“Yes. It exists very secretly. It will be chaotic to sort them out in the military. I’ll take care of it.”

“Is it possible?”

“It has to be possible.”

Gu Hansoo had no reason to refuse.

It’s like killing two birds with one stone.

If he eliminates them, he can fill the vacancies with his own people.

“I’ll tell the Capital Defense Command to provide support. If you need anything, you can contact them.”

“Thank you. Oh, and someone I know was taken to the Defense Security Command for violating the National Security Law. I’m sorry to ask, but I’d appreciate it.”

“Are you involved?”

“Yes.”

“You’ll be able to meet today.”

“Thank you. Oh, and it seems like there will be a time when you need funds soon, would one bill be enough this time?”

“Hahaha, I don’t know how to thank you. Thank you. I will use it for the country.”

“I believe you will use it for good.”

President Park Myungdeuk hung up the phone.

He looked out the window.

Elephant, who suddenly revealed his identity, and the person he was trying to save.

He racked his brain to think about his intentions, but no answer came to mind.

The desire for one bill pushed away the complicated thoughts.

One bill, 100 million US dollars.

140 billion won [South Korean currency] in our currency.

The corners of his mouth stretched long.

He decided to use 10 billion as a ruling fund and transfer the rest to a Swiss account.

He finished what he had to do.

“Chief of Staff.”

When he shouted loudly towards the door, the chief of staff opened the door and came in.

“Contact the Defense Security Commander and tell him to release everyone who was arrested for violating the National Security Law. All of them.”

The chief of staff paused.

“Mr. President, even so…”

Park Myungdeuk raised his eyebrows.

He glared at him and said loudly.

“What? What era is it? Release them all. Got it? Huh?”

He knew very well that shouting loudly at the end would speed up the work.

The speed of work doubles.

The chief of staff ran out of the room twice as fast as he came in.

***

“What are you talking about? Why are you letting that bitch out? Are you crazy?”

Chun Seonghan said roughly into the phone.

Soon he looked surprised.

“What? Mr. President? Why is that bastard who was like a folding screen suddenly acting up? He was quiet as long as I gave him money. Hey, wait a minute.”

He has to think.

He wandered around the tatami room [a traditional Japanese-style room].

No matter how he thought about it, there was no way.

Even if he is a presence like a folding screen, he is the supreme ruler of a country.

He has to concede today.

“Let her out for now. Track her well. And search her laptop and phone thoroughly. Something will definitely come out.”

Chun Seonghan, who hung up the phone, became troubled.

He has no interest in politics, the military, or diplomacy.

He suddenly acts up when he fills his pockets?.

What’s going on?

He thought he should check the reason.

He was about to open the phone and call the Blue House.

“They say you can come in.”

“Thank you.”

The door to meet him finally opened for Chun Seonghan.

Previously, only Lee Heonman could see him.

Now that he’s gone, he’s become his successor.

He didn’t even make a sound.

Careful steps.

He bowed his head and approached 10 steps in front of him.

He slowly knelt down and bowed his head.

“I see His Majesty the Emperor.”

“Raise your head. The new owner of the peninsula has come. Nice to meet you.”

It was a kind voice.

Chun Seonghan raised his head and looked at him.

His eyes, looking down at himself sitting on the throne, were filled with dignity.

“It is an infinite honor to be granted an audience. Your Majesty the Emperor!”

He bowed his head again.

‘Now everything is in my hands.’

A smile was full on his face with his head bowed.
