“This is a time separator.”
Juhyuk wanted to ask, “Do you know that Line’s situation is because of you?!” But even that hurt his pride. It was partly his fault for not protecting Line. Putting aside what he wanted to say, he regained his composure.
“Handle the internal conflicts within Taesung in your office. And somehow come up with a unified position.”
Since his point was accurate, Songkang couldn’t refute it. However, he couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.
If it came to this, the prosecution’s attitude also needed to be addressed. Just as Songkang was about to raise the issue, Juhyuk continued with the explanation.
“According to the documents submitted by Taesung, the signature is indeed that of Director Na Songkang. It also states that not a single won from the company’s funds can be spent without Director Na Songkang’s approval. Furthermore, it acknowledges to a significant extent that gifts were given unavoidably to prosper the Taesung Art Museum.”
Juhyuk also mentioned other allegations that Taesung was making about Songkang’s wrongdoing. It was the story Songkang wanted to hear. The head of the law firm wiped his cold sweat with a handkerchief, unable to hide his nervousness.
“I was planning to ask about the scope of those gifts today, but the schedule has been disrupted like this. I apologize for that. You may leave now.”
As Prosecutor Choi Juhyuk turned to leave, Songkang called him back.
“Prosecutor Choi Juhyuk.”
Juhyuk turned back towards Songkang. Although he had praised Line as a good senior, in Songkang’s eyes, Juhyuk also seemed like a reasonably reasonable person.
“We accept that Taesung bears the primary responsibility for today’s disruptions in the schedule. We apologize. After you sort out the situation, please set a new schedule, and we will cooperate sincerely.”
Juhyuk’s heart softened at Songkang’s polite apology. Director Na Songkang and his legal team exited the recording room.
“Oh, how magnanimous, relaxed, and dignified~.”
A sigh of admiration escaped from the prosecution staff who had come to clean up the recording room, irritating Juhyuk.
“Prosecutor, weren’t you nervous when you confronted Director Na Songkang?”
Juhyuk closed his eyes tightly, bowed his head deeply, then lifted it again.
“Am I supposed to be nervous as a prosecutor when Na Songkang is the defendant?”
He felt extremely embarrassed, wondering if he was the only one in the Prosecution Office taking the case of Director Na Songkang so seriously. As soon as the situation was sorted out, Juhyuk went to find Nansul.
“Yoon Nansul!”
Hearing Juhyuk’s voice, Nansul got up from her seat.
“Senior! What if you interfere like that in such a situation?! This is an abuse of power! I’ll report it to Chief Prosecutor!”
It would be more accurate to say that she was admonishing rather than reporting. Juhyuk was so charged up that he wasn’t even angry.
“Let’s go report together. Are you in your right mind?”
Nansul looked defiant.
“Ugh… Who’s the prosecutor, and who’s the defendant here? Na Songkang hasn’t said a single wrong word. On top of the headache from the admissibility of the protective order, what’s the deal with ignoring all procedures? Is this a ‘T-time’ for a summons hearing?!”
Nansul clenched her teeth and spoke resolutely. Juhyuk placed one hand on his waist and the other on his aching head. He really wanted to see Prosecutor Ji Narae right now.
“This is a time separator.”
As Songkang walked towards the waiting car in front of the Prosecution Office, he didn’t say a word. The head of the law firm followed, watching his every move. When Songkang stood in front of the waiting car, the secretary opened the door, and the head of the law firm went over and stood next to him.
“Director…”
“No one seems to be here, but there are many watching eyes.”
The head of the law firm looked around nervously. He saw the Prosecution Office staff peering out from the building’s windows, reporters lingering in the lobby, and many eyes on them.
“You’re someone who depends on Taesung’s support, so please consider the company’s image as well.”
Songkang drew a line and got into the car, while the head of the law firm took a step back. The car started quietly.
As soon as Songkang got into the car, he turned on his phone. He checked if there were any messages from Line. As expected, there were no texts received after their last communication.
If it weren’t for the attention of the reporters, Songkang would have gone straight to Line’s office. He contemplated going directly to her even after arriving at the company, but instead, he sat down in his own office.
He heard a knock, and his secretary entered.
“Director, the head of the law firm and Attorney Cha Hae-in are here.”
“Send them away.”
Songkang didn’t want to listen to the head of the law firm’s excuses any longer. There was no point in hearing him out, and he wanted some time to collect his thoughts.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
