You Have Been Defended – Episode 558 (558/641)

[Jeong Min-wook (Male): ?????

korea11: Huh?

nypd: ?

Song Hye-jeong: ?

Seo’s Dad: ??

ㅗMyung-hwa Pharmaceuticalsㅗ: ? What is this now…]

Chatting flooded in as soon as Kang Min-jae finished speaking.

Perhaps because news spread that Kang Min-jae, the person involved in the accident, was on the phone, the number of viewers had already exploded.

Now, it was difficult to even check the chat content, except for the countless question marks.

“Attorney, the viewers are very surprised. You dropped a huge bomb.”

─Ah, haha. Is that so?

“You said that the attempt to murder Attorney Cha Joo-han wasn’t the first. Has there been a similar incident? First of all… I did confirm that Attorney Cha Joo-han is healthy not too long ago, right?”

─Yes, ah… In case anyone is worried, Attorney Cha Joo-han is very healthy and well. He’s watching the broadcast with me right now.

I didn’t expect it to be revealed suddenly what I was doing.

I was making a ‘what is this’ expression, and Kim Jung-woo turned to me and chuckled.

─Should I put Attorney Cha Joo-han on the phone?

Right now, Kang Min-jae is out of the studio, and I’m inside the studio.

We didn’t even agree on it beforehand.

He’s suddenly offering to switch without even asking me if I want to?

─Ah, he says he doesn’t want to. Anyway, he’s doing well.

What is this showmanship?

“Then… in Attorney Cha Joo-han’s case, was it revealed that someone clearly had murderous intent and threatened Attorney Cha Joo-han?”

─Ah, of course. It’s clearer than this truck incident. It wasn’t disguised as an accident either. The attempted murderers were arrested on the spot without us having to try to prove anything, and they are currently serving their sentences…

[BringBackHandsomeAttorney: I was so surprised I couldn’t even chat, what is this…

BringBackHandsomeAttorney: ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠHow dare those bastards do that to our attorneyㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

BringBackHandsomeAttorney: Was our attorney hurt in that incidentㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

BringBackHandsomeAttorney: I periodically search our attorney’s name on the internet, and nothing came up, so I thought nothing happenedㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

BringBackHandsomeAttorney: Wooshin, you fucking bastards… I switched to iPhone because I didn’t want to see you guys, you bastards]

“Um, Attorney. There’s a viewer who loves Attorney Cha very much. They’re very angry. Can you briefly explain the situation?”

─Ah, yes. Um… First of all, a stranger broke into Attorney Cha’s house in the middle of the night, knocked him unconscious, and it was an incident that occurred while kidnapping him.

[BringBackHandsomeAttorney: Knocked him unconscious and kidnapped him…? Wow, I’m so fucking pissed I’m going to faint. I’m taking a day off tomorrow and going to Wooshin headquarters to hold a one-person protest. Don’t stop me.

ㅗMyung-hwa Pharmaceuticalsㅗ: I’ll join.

ApolloFan: I’ll join. I’m unemployed, so it’s okay.

SupportYou: I run a banner shop, and I’ll support you with picket printing…

1MillionHairLoss: I have a takoyaki [Japanese snack of ball-shaped octopus dumplings] truck, and I’m not working because it’s summer, can I provide unlimited takoyaki support?]

─We checked that the attorney had suddenly disappeared and urgently checked his location. It turned out he was in the middle of the sea… We immediately moved there, contacted the Coast Guard; it was a complete mess.

[BringBackHandsomeAttorney: Sea??????????????????????? So they were trying to drown our attorney?????????????

Jeong Min-wook (Male): The person above is really pissedㅠ

korea11: Wow, something like you’d only see in a movie happened…]

─Fortunately, the Coast Guard arrived in time and rescued the attorney. The attorney was taken to the hospital with a large stab wound to his abdomen, but thankfully, he overcame the crisis and recovered.

“That’s really fortunate. You must have been very worried; it’s really a great relief. So, did the criminals who did that to Attorney Cha reveal their motives?”

─Yes. To summarize, they just didn’t like him. I don’t even know what they didn’t like. They only talked about their motives at first, and then they exercised their right to remain silent, and after the verdict, they didn’t even appeal as a group and are just serving their sentences.

“Was Attorney Cha unconscious the whole time then? Even at the moment he was stabbed?”

─No, he was conscious. He said he woke up on the boat. He exchanged words with those people, so he knows who the mastermind is. But legally, there’s only the testimony, so we need evidence. Unfortunately, the police investigation didn’t reveal that the attempted murderers were connected to that force.

[cownew: It’s definitely cownew’s doing

BabySquirrelJonghyun: The cownew person above just admitted it; doesn’t that count as an admission?

cownew: This is Go Sang-joon. I’m the one who made Attorney Cha like that. It’s true.

kwonseunghyun: Can you ask the attorney if it’s cownew???]

─I’m watching the broadcast while talking on the phone right now. Many people are curious about who the mastermind is, but we don’t have any evidence, so we’re not going to rashly mention it. We ask for your understanding on this point.

[orient: Then why was this huge incident buried..? The victim is a celebrity, and even if the perpetrator’s mastermind wasn’t revealed, this is really an absurd incident?

Luck7Skills3: If it had been on TV, people would have been very interested even if they couldn’t legally punish them…

SongSuro: I can’t find it even when I search; did you deliberately keep it a secret?

JinHoJun: I’m also curious why you kept it a secret]

“Attorney Kang, are you watching the chat?”

─Ah, yes. The reason we didn’t disclose it is… honestly, it’s quite simple. If we could have revealed the mastermind, then maybe, but we couldn’t. Then only the family members would be hurt. It’s quite shocking, after all.

“Um, then if today’s broadcast goes out, the articles… Ah, looking at it now, there are already a lot of articles? Now the family members will know; is that okay?”

─After experiencing this incident, I thought it was necessary to let people know what kind of threats we are receiving. And, well, I know that many people say that what we’re claiming is… absurd. Quite a few people regarded the dump truck accident we covered on today’s broadcast as a conspiracy theory. But I wanted to let you know that it’s not an absurd claim, but a real threat.

When I contacted my parents, I only exchanged greetings and never talked about Choi Jong-hyun and Jo Bong-joon.

However, Kang Min-jae’s interview is being reported as soon as he speaks.

It’s only a matter of time before the story reaches my parents.

They’re already worried that I’m doing dangerous work, and they tell me to be careful every time I talk to them.

I sighed.

I didn’t want to disclose it if possible, but if the situation has become like this, there’s nothing I can do.

Wooshin knows that even when I gave my victim statement after the kidnapping, I repeatedly asked that the fact that I was the victim not be revealed to the outside.

I, who had been like that, have finally noisily revealed the fact, so in Wooshin’s eyes, it must seem like I’m trying to bet everything on this fight by showing the cards I didn’t want to reveal.

“…….”

I glanced at my constantly vibrating cell phone.

Even people I hadn’t contacted often were sending me messages asking if the kidnapping incident was true.

Hoping that my parents weren’t among the flood of contacts, I only stared at the notification window.

Meanwhile, Kang Min-jae’s interview continued.

─Also, since I brought it up because I didn’t want to hear that it was an absurd claim, I’ll make it a little clearer. I just sent the reporter a link to an article. It’s an article about the attempted murder case at the time. And I also sent the judgment of the attempted murder case. I’ve already covered all the personal information in advance, so you can immediately disclose it to the viewers.

Choi Jong-hyun and Jo Bong-joon clicked on the article link that Kang Min-jae sent.

The article described the incident in a very summarized way.

However, the contents of the judgment are more detailed.

This is because the police at the time had secured CCTV footage, and the Coast Guard who rescued me had a lot of evidence.

“…The fact that a drum and a large amount of mixed cement were found on the boat, which was the scene of the crime, the fact that a weapon with the victim’s blood was found, the fact that anesthetic drugs and syringes were found, the fact that the victim’s DNA was detected in the syringe, and the fact that the same anesthetic was detected in the victim’s blood, it is reasonable to assume that the defendants carried out the kidnapping and attempted to murder the victim…”

[BringBackHandsomeAttorney: Cement??????????

BringBackHandsomeAttorney: Drum?????????????

Jeong Min-wook (Male): So… they were trying to bury him in concrete and drown him in the sea?

Chris Park: This is a bit strong…

Shin Hyejin: Wow, crazy;; They were really trying to bury him;;;

lmaolmao: I’m so glad he’s alive….

SongSuro: Reality is really more like a movie;;]

As Jo Bong-joon excerpted and read part of the judgment, the already flooding chat became so fast that it was impossible to read the letters.

─Um, that’s all I have to say for today.

“Ah, yes. Attorney Kang. Thank you so much for your words today. I’m so glad that both Attorney Kang and Attorney Cha are healthy and well. Always be careful.”

─Thank you.

“I can’t thank the attorneys at the law firm Jeongdo enough for making such a difficult decision. We can look forward to new news again, right?”

─Haha, I’ll try. But shouldn’t there be no such news?

“Ah, that’s right. Of course! I didn’t mean it that way. Haha. Then I’ll hang up now!”

─Yes, thank you.

After the phone connection was cut off, Kang Min-jae returned to the studio with a relieved face and sat next to me.

Then, he pulled over a piece of paper that was next to him and wrote something on it and showed it to me.

[Have you heard from your parents?]

When I said I would disclose the kidnapping incident, Kang Min-jae was also very aware of what I was worried about, so he seemed to be concerned.

Fortunately or unfortunately, my parents don’t seem to have heard the news yet.

There were no calls or texts.

I shook my head.

[Shouldn’t you call them first?]

Kang Min-jae wrote the letters on the paper again.

I sighed.

I was already wondering if it would be better for me to confess first rather than hearing it from someone else.

I’m already an unfilial son, and I’m committing another act of unfilial piety.

But I didn’t die in this life, so it seems less unfilial.

“Everyone. We’ve delivered a lot of shocking news today. I’m going to take some time to summarize in case you’ve forgotten the original purpose of bringing up this story.”

“Initially, news broke that a teenager affiliated with an orphanage had been arrested for drug use. And in response, the orphanage claimed that the teenager’s abuse by educational volunteers was the starting point of the deviation. As a result, the educational volunteer club was falsely accused of being abusers and is being criticized even at this moment.”

I told the club president to post the prepared statement on the homepage and official SNS [Social Networking Service] page as soon as the broadcast ends.

Fortunately, after the broadcast, looking at the articles that were uploaded, it seems that interest in the college students has subsided a lot, and at the same time, public opinion criticizing the orphanage that framed them has arisen.

Once the statement is uploaded and the results of the investigation come out later, the temporary disgrace they had to bear will be washed away a lot.

“But as you can see from the evidence we presented today, the teenager directly stated that the reason for running away from home was because he didn’t want to study abroad. But this is also likely to be a fabricated story. The teenager was with mysterious men. It may not be a runaway.”

“Above all, to help the teenager, two lawyers from the law firm Jeongdo headed to Munyeok, where they were involved in an accident colliding with a dump truck. And the dump truck driver claims it was drowsy driving, but today a current claims adjuster, who is a viewer, explained why it couldn’t be seen as drowsy driving. For various reasons, the circumstances revealed that the accident clearly contained murderous intent, and even evidence came out that this attempted murder was not the first.”

[ApolloFan: It’s honestly stupid to argue that this isn’t the case

TearsOfTheMinwooParty: I went around a few sites and there were people saying that the teenager’s runaway and the dump truck accident were separate incidentsㅋㅋㅋ They’re stubbornly arguing that linking the two incidents is far-fetchedㅋㅋㅋ

Kim Hyun-ah: They’re the ones being stubbornㅋㅋㅋ

Seamom: If this really had nothing to do with each other and it fit together like thisㅋㅋㅋ That teenager or the dump truck driver must have been incredibly unlucky. Even if they sold the earth instead of the country in their previous life, they wouldn’t be this unlucky]

“The unknown force is increasingly trying to murder Attorney Cha Joo-han in subtle ways. Before, they openly kidnapped and tried to kill him, but this time they disguised it as an accident. Honestly, at this point, I don’t know if there’s poison in the food, so I have to take a taster with me wherever I go.”

[BongjunGoToSchool: Bongjun hyung can be the tasterㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

“Hey, I value my life too. Anyway… We have a lot to say today. There are viewers who asked why Cha Joo-han became a target, why he continues to receive death threats. Maybe they’re watching our broadcast for the first time? Honestly, there’s nothing we can say at this stage. But if you pay a little attention, you’ll soon know. Why this is happening.”

“Earlier, someone said that reality is more like a movie. That’s right. Even if it seems absurd, it’s actually happening. So, even if it’s just for a moment, please remember, be curious, and watch over us. Your small interest might save a person’s life.”

[BringBackHandsomeAttorney: I really don’t know what would have happened if it wasn’t for this broadcast… I didn’t know our attorney was receiving such threatsㅠㅠㅠ Even when he was falsely accused of being a murderer… Ah, I want to curse

ㅗMyung-hwa Pharmaceuticalsㅗ: The person above was cursing very well earlier…

BringBackHandsomeAttorney: Shh^^

TearsOfTheMinwooParty: But it’s really trueㅠ There must be a lot of people who disappeared quietly in places where people don’t pay attention…]

“These days, all kinds of information are pouring in from all directions. It’s a convenient world, but that means we need the insight to see through the essence of information. We want to help those who want to grasp the essence even a little bit. As much as that, we will try not to be misled and will not mislead. We will only deliver the facts.”

[ChoiJonghyun’sWig: Oh.. Jonghyun hyung is cool…]

“Ah, wait a minute. I didn’t want to interfere because it felt like a closing comment and a cool line, but you didn’t say something important.”

Then Jo Bong-joon hurriedly added.

“Huh? Something important? Ah, right. Right!”

“We’ll be back with more news on the next broadcast. This isn’t all.”

[ㅗMyung-hwa Pharmaceuticalsㅗ: What is it, is the broadcast over??????

WhoOpenedTheDoorHwangHyunhee: No, I just came in after seeing the article, what’s with the ending comment…

lmaolmao: So there’s more to the story that wasn’t told today????

Chris Park: Ah, you should have told us that too…

BongjunGoToSchool: Ah, these hyungs are starting again….

Yongyong: These devils again!!!!!!!

TeddyBear: No… Don’t even foreshadow it… Don’t do this….!!!!!!]

“Haha. Please be sure to watch the next broadcast! The broadcast schedule will be announced on our website. You can check our website address on the existing platform’s broadcasting station or in the ‘see more’ section of the current streaming video. Ah, you can also search for my or Bongjoon’s name on the portal. Then we’ll end today’s broadcast here. Thank you. Bye~!
