Enticement (3)
“How do you seduce a president?”
Kim Nana leaned back, puffing out her cheeks as if displeased.
“You said you could make anyone your man, didn’t you?”
I frowned, and she stretched out her words as if complaining.
“That’s only if I can meet them. The president is in the Blue House every day. How am I supposed to meet him?”
“What if you could contact him?”
“Then it might be possible. But with a married man, it won’t work in just a day or two. Especially a president; they’re more careful and pay more attention to their personal safety.”
“So, you’re saying that if you have plenty of time and can approach him anytime, it’s possible?”
“Under those conditions, it’s possible. But how would you…”
Kim Nana, who was looking at my face, paused and widened her eyes.
“Ah, I remember.”
She pointed directly at me and asked.
“It’s not Chief Prosecutor Choi Seo-jun, is it?”
Department Head Jang Ha-young glared sharply from the side, and Kim Nana slapped her mouth.
“Ah, sorry. The word ‘old man’ just slipped out… I mean, Prosecutor, Prosecutor.”
‘Cop’ for police and ‘old man’ for prosecutors are just common slang.
I’ve heard it so much that it doesn’t even faze me.
“Wait, aren’t the President and the Prosecutor family? Or, should I say relatives? But I never expected there to be discord between them…”
“You don’t need to know the details.”
I cut her off and asked again.
“Are you going to do it, or not?”
“Do I have a choice? I’m always up for it. But…”
Kim Nana tilted her head and asked.
“Why are you proposing this to me? What if I snitch to the President?”
Her eyes narrowed slightly.
It’s a valid point, and there’s definitely a possibility.
The President’s power is definitely greater than the prosecutor’s, and if she sticks with him, she could receive some protection, even if it’s not to the extent I’m offering.
However, I have no intention of just watching her try to weigh her options.
How dare a con artist even think of getting above a prosecutor?
“Then I’ll have to send you to China.”
I said firmly.
“No matter how much power the President uses, I’ll put my position on the line to chase you out.”
China.
That’s the country where she and her gang stole the pink diamond.
Its value is over hundreds of millions, and of course, the owner must be a wealthy person in China.
Their influence on the country would be quite significant.
In other words, if Kim Nana and her gang enter China, it’s obvious they’ll be sentenced to death.
There’s no way she doesn’t know this.
“You’ve heard my name, so you know I’m capable of doing that much, right?”
“……”
Kim Nana’s Adam’s apple bobbed.
“Don’t worry. I don’t want to take on unnecessary risks either.”
She quickly regained her composure and rested her arms on her knees.
“This is much more thrilling and fun anyway.”
“That’s good to hear.”
“But how are you going to get me into the Blue House?”
I smiled and asked her back.
“Kim Nana, are you flexible?”
“Why?”
She squinted her eyes.
“Does the President perhaps like acrobatic poses?”
Kim Nana stood up and stretched her legs.
“I’m quite flexible. Men are crazy about lines, so I’ve worked on my body a bit.”
I turned my head towards Department Head Jang Ha-young.
“Department Head Jang.”
“Yes, Chief Prosecutor.”
“What happened with what I instructed you to do back then?”
“We’ve bought them all off. We’re ready to move out immediately.”
I twisted my lips and looked at Kim Nana.
“Kim Nana, let’s start learning Pilates from tomorrow.”

“Ah, you’re quitting?”
-Yes, I’m sorry. My husband has been transferred to an overseas branch, so we have to go abroad urgently.
Han Ji-soo, who was on the phone, couldn’t hide her disappointment.
“Congratulations. But it’s such a shame. I was planning to learn more until I entered the Blue House…”
The person Han Ji-soo was talking to was none other than her personal Pilates instructor.
In fact, she was planning to stay at her parents’ house for two months until the children were ready before entering the Blue House.
That’s why Han Ji-soo had been continuously attending the Pilates studio she had been going to since giving birth to her third child.
In the eyes of the public, quitting in the middle could give the impression that the family had changed after her husband was elected president, but more than anything, it was because she wanted to continue going.
Of course, once she entered the Blue House, it would be impossible to come out to learn Pilates, so there was also advice from people around her that it would be better to take as many classes as possible in the remaining time.
Choi Seo-jun knew this fact through Han Ji-yoo, so he was able to come up with this plan.
It was also to take revenge on Seong Tae-hyun, but he wasn’t simply acting out of hatred to ruin the family.
In fact, Choi Seo-jun also knew through Go Seong-tak’s testimony that Seong Tae-hyun always went to hostess bars or establishments with women after drinking heavily.
He had even suggested to Choi Seo-jun, who was his brother-in-law, to go to such establishments together, so there was nothing more to say.
He felt sorry for his sister-in-law, Han Ji-soo, who was devoted to childcare without knowing this fact, but he couldn’t turn a blind eye to it, which always bothered him.
Even if Seong Tae-hyun didn’t know, he couldn’t let Han Ji-soo, who was like family, live her whole life without knowing this fact.
“Then will the class be canceled?”
From Han Ji-soo’s perspective, with only a month and a week left until her entry into the Blue House, her Pilates instructor suddenly quitting had thrown her plans into disarray.
-No. So, I’ve scouted a more capable friend to replace me.
“Really?”
-Yes. She’s a much more capable instructor than I am. She even went to the United States to study gymnastics.
“That’s a relief. Thank you.”
-Oh, and there’s one more thing I wanted to tell you…
The instructor casually let the story slip as instructed.
-She’s really well-known in the industry for Pilates, as well as line management, etc. If you like her after learning from her for the remaining period, you can take her into the Blue House with you.
“What do you mean by that…”
-As a dedicated trainer responsible for the healthy exercise of the President and his wife. In fact, there have always been trainers in various fields in the Blue House, even before the previous president, so it’s possible to bring her in.
She nonchalantly added.
-It’s good for the First Lady to do Pilates alone, but it’s also very relaxing for the President to loosen his muscles together. Health management is a bonus.
Han Ji-soo was nodding her head without realizing it.
Even before entering the Blue House, she knew to some extent that her husband’s health was deteriorating because he only repeated work and drinking sessions.
Since it would be impossible to do muscle-building exercises like weightlifting because his body was tired, it would be good to do exercises like Pilates or yoga occasionally.
Above all, she hadn’t enjoyed any special privileges as the First Lady yet, so she had a desire to have her own dedicated trainer.
-Of course, that’s only if the First Lady likes the new instructor.
“Yes. Thank you for your kind words.”
-Then take good care of your health in the future.
“Yes. I hope you’ll be happy in the United States too, Instructor.”
Han Ji-soo put her phone away and entered the room.
She changed her clothes and started to warm up on the mat.
About 10 minutes passed.
The front door opened, and a woman with an enchanting and voluptuous figure that would captivate everyone’s attention, regardless of gender, appeared.
“Nice to meet you.”
The woman in yoga clothes introduced herself naturally.
“I’m Jennifer Kang, who will be in charge of the new lessons from today.”
“Hello. I’m Han Ji-soo.”
She bowed her head in greeting.
“Please feel free to call me Jennifer.”
“Ah, yes. You can call me by my name too.”
“I heard from Teacher Park that you’re a great person…”
“No, I’m not.”
Kim Nana waved her hand nonchalantly and then continued.
“In case you’re curious, I majored in Rhythmic gymnastics at an American university…”
She deliberately twisted her pronunciation as if she was used to fluent English pronunciation and said it luxuriously, then shook her head as if she had made a mistake.
“No, I majored in rhythmic gymnastics and ballet. From around the time I graduated, I worked at the New York City Ballet for about 2 years. I’ve been steadily learning Pilates for a long time, so I have 6 certifications in total, both domestically and internationally.”
“Ah, I see.”
Han Ji-soo’s eyes, overwhelmed by her specs, began to fill with trust.
“I look forward to working with you, Instructor.”
Kim Nana smiled brightly with a pure and innocent face.
“No, it’s my pleasure, Ji-soo.”
***
The preparations to give Seong Tae-hyun a bomb are complete.
All that remains is how well Kim Nana can capture Han Ji-soo’s heart.
Only then can she enter the Blue House and carry out the prepared plan.
Kim Nana’s current identity has already been laundered into a new person named Jennifer Kang, or Kang Han-na in Korean, and since deceiving others is her specialty, it should proceed smoothly unless there are any special problems.
I’ll leave that to Kim Nana and start the next task.
Operation Name: Empty House Robbery.
The first target is Minister of Justice Park Chang-sik.
Although the confirmation hearing is still in progress, it is coming to a close without any significant problems, so the conclusion has been reached that his appointment as minister is only a matter of time.
Now, I just need to drop him into the abyss and then save him myself to win his heart.
“Department Head Jang.”
“Yes, Chief Prosecutor.”
“We should start the operation soon.”
I handed over a photo from my pocket.
“It’s Prosecutor Gong Sang-wook from the Central Investigation Department of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office.”
Prosecutor Gong Sang-wook.
A talent scouted by Prosecutor Park Ki-won, who went to the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office after competing with Prosecutor Nam Min-je for Jang Ha-young’s successor position.
A hitman who will butcher Minister Park Chang-sik.
The task has been confirmed, but I plan to meet him in person tomorrow to confirm it one more time.
“The burner phone number is written on the back, so contact him with that when I give instructions. You’ve prepared yours too, right?”
“Yes.”
She patted the inside pocket on her chest.
“I’ve prepared a new one for this.”
We’ll be contacting each other with burner phones, so there won’t be any problems.
“Let’s see the list.”
Jang Ha-young handed over the report she was holding with a determined expression.
“I’ve compiled a list of all the items that could be involved in crimes.”
A list of crimes that would make Park Chang-sik uncomfortable.
There were various items such as the military, elections, past remarks, and children’s illegal admissions, but there was only one that caught my eye.
A crime that everyone wants to commit but can’t.
A crime that only a select few who have been chosen and have obtained information can commit.
I pointed to the last line of the list and roughly curled up the corners of my lips.
“Let’s go with land speculation.”
