Chapter 83

The flight time is approximately 14 hours.

We were the only ones in first class. After the plane took off safely, we gathered in one place. I asked the flight attendant to bring me some wine.

“Let’s have a drink together.”

If there is another advantage of First Class besides comfortable seating, it is that it provides high-quality wine. So the more you drink, the better.

As they clashed their glasses, everyone’s expressions were dark. It seems that he feels psychological pressure from the search and seizure of K Company.

Taek-gyu said it like a joke.

“Aren’t you going to be arrested as soon as you get off the airport?”

Ellie smiled.

“Ah, maybe.”

I shook my head.

“We will do everything we can to achieve our goals. Among them is hiring the CEO of OTK Company.”

As soon as Park Si-hyung became president, he replaced the head of the National Intelligence Service, the prosecutor-general, the police chief, and the head of the National Tax Service. And he reorganized all personnel systems around the Blue House.

Here, it is supported by the media and chaebols, and the ruling Korean National Party holds a majority of the seats in the National Assembly.

If a powerful president decides to wield that power for his own benefit, what can’t he do?

Ellie widened her eyes in surprise.

“Did you choose to go to Korea knowing that?”

“Even if I leave, OTK Company will run without any problems.”

Even for a chaebol group, it is difficult to make important decisions in the absence of a leader. Therefore, if the chief is caught for embezzlement, breach of trust, etc., there is a voice calling for a pardon for the sake of the national economy.

OTK Company does not have a systematic organization, so if the CEO is caught, the investment plan will inevitably be disrupted.

It is a common thought that …

However, when I gave the order, my role was almost finished. It is currently in charge of final approval, but it is only a formality. In the absence of Hyeon-joo’s sister, it doesn’t matter.

On the contrary, if Hyun-joo noona, not me, gets caught, the situation becomes more serious.

“Fortunately, my sister is of Korean nationality, but since she has the title of Golden Gate Branch Manager, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

If there is no particular charge, the arrest will become international news, and Golden Gate will protest strongly.

If Golden Gate sells stocks or bonds… No, even if it just pours out a sell report, the Korean market will be shocked.

Because of that, I wouldn’t be able to use my hands recklessly on Hyunjoo’s older sister.

I said looking at Ellie’s expression.

“No worries. I haven’t committed any crimes, so even if I’m caught, I’ll be released soon.”

At my words, Taek-gyu asked, bewildered.

“Are you prepared to get caught?”

“If the identity is known, the probability of being summoned to the prosecution even if not arrested is high.”

Taek-gyu was furious.

“Why didn’t you tell me beforehand?”

“just.” If you find out the truth, I’m afraid you and Ellie will stop.

Taek-gyu looked at Hyun-joo’s older sister.

“Did your sister know?”

“I don’t want to think that this government is going to be that far-fetched…”

Hyunjoo noona probably noticed. He knew my intentions and didn’t say it on purpose.

“Wow! trick people like this? I’ll have to ask the crew for some peanuts.”

“Why peanuts?”

“Let the plane divert.”

“·················ogue.”

A very good way. By the way, first class airlines are the same.

Ellie interpreted and explained to Henry.

“In the past, at this airline, a third-generation conglomerate had a plane diverted because the flight attendant did not give them peanuts.”

Henry nodded his head.

“I know it well because it is a famous case. It happened at New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport.”

“·················ogue.”

Korean chaebols are working so hard to promote Korea to the world.

Hyun-joo’s older sister reached out to his coat and stopped. It seems that he was unconsciously looking for a cigarette, but of course it is non-smoking on the plane.

“What is your purpose, Jinhoo?”

After Hyun-joo’s older sister, Taek-gyu also asked.

“right. For what purpose are you entering Korea knowing that you will be caught?”

“It is not wise to go against the government. OTK Company is a foreign corporation, but K Company has a business base in Korea. Even if we somehow get through this time, there’s no guarantee that something similar won’t happen next time.”

In the past, chaebol groups were disbanded at the words of the president. Kukje Group, which was once ranked 7th in the business world, disappeared into history because it looked hateful to Chun Doo-hwan.

It may not be that much now, but there are not one or two examples of companies that have been stamped by the government in a bad way.

I was hostile to Eunsung Cha and supported Ronald. As a result, whether they wanted it or not, they turned the government into an enemy.

The choice is one of two.

Either stop now, or keep fighting. Of course, my choice is the latter.

The more you work hard, the greater the reward in case of failure.

I said looking at everyone.

“Anyway, after the US presidential election, all problems will be resolved.”

When Ronald becomes president, OTK Company becomes a kingmaker. It’s like having the President of the United States on your back.

When that time comes, you will be able to hold yourself accountable for what you have done in the past.

Why did the National Intelligence Service mobilize the NIS to conduct illegal inspections, and the prosecution and the National Tax Service mobilized the K Company to search and confiscate?

In the end, it will be a matter of what purpose this was done, and in the process, the relationship between President Park Si-hyung and PAS may be highlighted again.

Either way, the current government will suffer a huge blow. In retrospect, even just one illegal inspection is a feeling of impeachment.

“Are you going to be the bait yourself?”

“If you point your blade at me, your political responsibility will increase.”

And while you care about the bait, you’re missing out on something really important.

Regardless of this or that, if the government interferes with it, you can’t be bothered. It’s better to have me focus on myself and let other people work with peace of mind in the meantime.

If I go in, wouldn’t Sangyeop-senpai come out?

He said it was nothing, but he couldn’t help but feel fear. It is reckless for an individual to fight against the power of the state.

Am I really doing well?

Can’t we just quit everything and spend a lot of money and live comfortably? Ellie gently grabbed my hand. It felt soft and warm.

“Nothing will happen.”

Hyunjoo’s older sister smiled.

“Jinhoo, you have a lot of money, so it’s okay.”

“just joke?”

Hyunjoo noona answered my question seriously.

“no. Power is temporary, money is forever. That’s why politicians are making money while they are in power. Your money is your weapon. So there is nothing to worry about.”

She is a little relieved when she hears this.

Taek-gyu added a word.

“But shouldn’t we be careful with the red Matiz?”

Hearing this, I feel uneasy again.

Taek-gyu was an interpreter and explained to Henry.

“In Korea, the red Matiz has an important symbolic meaning. In the past, at the National Intelligence Service…”

“·················ogue.”

Why the hell are you explaining that?

In any case, we assumed several situations and discussed future measures.

Meanwhile, the plane arrived safely at Incheon International Airport.

* * *

I was about to go out to the arrival hall after completing immigration, Taek-gyu said.

“Are you sure you won’t be arrested here?”

“No way.”

Work has an order, so I’ll send the summons first.

“If you get caught, I will visit you often, and I will give you private meals and money.”

“······I will just buy it with my own money.”

At that moment, suddenly men in black suits approached us.

“Who?”

“It came from the prosecution.”

“·················ogue.”

I hoped, really? I’ve been mentally prepared, but this is too fast.

Taek-gyu asked instead of me who was bewildered.

“What happen?”

“Are you Taek-gyu Oh?”

“But?”

“Are you the representative of OTK Company?”

“Yes?”

“I will arrest you for violating the Foreign Exchange Control Act and the Financial Management Act.”

Men in suits grabbed Taek-gyu from both sides.

Surprised, Hyun-joo noona said nervously.

“What are you guys? What are you tampering with?”

Then the man held out a piece of paper. “This is the arrest warrant for Taek-gyu Oh.”

I was shocked to see it.

I don’t know what the English is, but they are mistaken for Taek-gyu, not me, as the CEO of OTK Company!

Chunkyung!

Taek-gyu’s hands were handcuffed.

The man recites the Miranda principle that he sees in movies and TV shows.

“You have the right to remain silent, and your comments may be applied against you in court. You have the right to have an attorney, and you can have your attorney speak for you when asked. If you don’t have the money to get a lawyer,

A patron will be appointed.

I can’t let Taegyu get caught like this.

“I······.”

I was about to step forward, but Taek-gyu said aloud.

“I am the CEO. Catch him.”

“What?”

“See you after work, buddy.”

Taek-gyu smiled at me and rolled his eyes. Without saying anything, they dragged Taek-gyu away.

What the hell is this?

The airport staff as well as the people who were about to leave the arrival hall were all staring at us, stopped moving.

After standing there blankly for a while, Ellie came out and grabbed Hyunjoo’s older sister.

“Let’s go.”

Henry took our luggage.

When I was led by Ellie to the arrival hall, I saw the figure of senior Ki Hong.

“This is it, Jinhuya!”

Ben was waiting in front of the airport. As we got on board, senior Ki Hong started his car.

I came to my senses and asked senior Ki Hong.

“Why are you here?”

Senior Ki Hong said while driving.

“Sangyeop-senpai sent it.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Where is Sangyeop-senpai?”

“They are being investigated by the prosecution. While he is away, I will follow the instructions of you or the Governor Oh Hyun-joo. But don’t you have one more party? They said there were five people, so I brought Ben.”

“I just got arrested.”

“What?”

Ki-hong was surprised at my words. The car veered out of its lane and staggered.

“What the hell happened? Jinhoo, what do you have to do with this incident?”

“I’ll explain later, just focus on driving.”

“Ah Okay.”

I looked back. Hyunjoo noona sat silently. At first glance, he looked expressionless, but it was evident that he was extremely angry.

It’s the first time I’ve seen my sister get so angry. He doesn’t know him well, but Hyun-joo’s older sister loves her brother terribly.

But her brother was handcuffed and dragged in front of her.

I asked Hyunjoo noona to join her, and she promised that no matter what happens, she won’t harm Taek-gyu.

So she’s going to break her promise.

“I’m sorry, sister. I’ll go to the prosecutor’s office right away…”

Hyunjoo noona said in a cold voice. “Quiet. I’m sorting out my thoughts.”

“·················ogue.”

I shut my mouth. Everyone didn’t say anything and just stared.

As soon as she returned to Korea, she thought she might be arrested. So, I was preparing my mind to some extent.

Why do you think Taek-gyu is the CEO of OTK Company instead of me… Ah!

I put my hand on my forehead. In a situation where the exact stake relationship is not known, it is natural to think that the company name is OTK and Oh Taek-gyu is the representative.

Why didn’t I think of this?



As I sighed inwardly, I heard Hyunjoo’s older sister’s voice.

“It’s better. It’s better for Taek-gyu not to be there than for Jin-hoo not to be there.”

“Yes?”

“Taek-gyu knows that too, so he must have decided to be arrested.”

“that’s······.”

Instead of clearing up the misunderstanding, Taek-gyu put on handcuffs himself.

When I say I’ll see you after work, does that mean that you’ll stay in my place until then?

Ellie said reassuringly.

“Nothing will happen.”

Hyunjoo’s older sister gave Ellie instructions.

She said, “Talk to the legal team and get Taek-gyu a lawyer.”

“I see.”

Ellie immediately contacted the legal team of Golden Gate’s Korean branch.

Hyunjoo noona said while grinding her teeth.

“You dare touch my brother? Never forgive.”
