Going abroad?
"Is it necessary?" Cui Dongye asked himself, having no black history.
But his father.
As the head of the family.
He has managed the family business for many years, dealing with people of all kinds. It’s impossible to be completely clean. Even from what he knows, his father’s black history is no less than a couple of incidents, just not yet uncovered.
Even if soone needs to go abroad,
it should be his father.
"Just because you have no problem, doesn’t an you don’t know others do." His father sighed.
This was key.
Being used as a gun by soone, he didn’t know if his son could handle it.
Deny everything?
Ha!
Once soone bites, it becos false testimony, which is also a cri.
Nowadays.
The whole of South Korea seems to be in a vortex.
He used to think he could see clearly, but as it’s developed to this point, nobody dares to say they can predict the future accurately. On the contrary, the situation is becoming increasingly complex, foggy, and unpredictable.
The killer got killed.
What kind of thods did that prosecutor use?
Who else was involved?
Is there a bigger plan behind the scenes?
Thinking of this.
It gave him a headache. Many people were more troubled than him, but it’s not his concern; enabling the family to continue in this vortex is the priority.
"What about you?" Cui Dongye asked.
"I can’t leave the country."
His father admitted frankly.
"What? Why?" Cui Dongye was shocked, asking anxiously.
His father being restricted from leaving the country?
What exactly happened?
After just one sleep,
it felt like the sky had changed.
"Just now, as I learned the reason for this matter, the border managent line told , because I’m a witness in a case, I’ve been restricted from leaving the country for thirty days. It may be lifted after the hearing."
"..."
The man took a deep breath.
His heart raced.
Even his father being restricted from leaving is clearly a sign of the weakening conglorates’ influence within the governnt. No wonder his father wanted him to leave the country quickly. Although they weren’t involved, it doesn’t an they are ignorant.
Damn it.
It’s really too chaotic,
and too tight-knit.
Before, it seed the conglorates could do whatever they wanted in the country, often disregarding restraint, leading to now when soone in the net has issues, it could trigger a chain reaction.
Thirty days.
If it’s just a stalling tactic, it’s a big trouble.
"Understood, I’ll leave the country imdiately." Cui Dongye hurriedly said.
"Okay."
Cui Dongye quickly packed his belongings.
"Father, I’ll call you once I’m on the airplane."
"Alright."
Half an hour later.
Seoul Airport.
Handing over the docunts, Cui Dongye was pondering about his father’s matter. On the way, he called a friend at the Supre Prosecutor’s Office, but didn’t get any useful information since the case was being handled by that prosecutor.
"Bastard."
Cui Dongye cursed inwardly, he really wanted to hire an assassin to get rid of this thorn in his side.
"I’m sorry, you’re temporarily restricted from leaving the country."
"What?"
Cui Dongye’s harsh expression changed to shock.
"Why?"
"Please consult the Seoul Supre Prosecutor’s Office."
The airport didn’t know the reason, they only knew the person before them was restricted from leaving South Korea, aware of the agency that imposed the restriction. Recently the list has been frequently updated, they’ve gotten used to it.
Upon hearing this.
Cui Dongye was a bit stunned.
In other words.
He might be involved in so cases too; what case exactly, he truly couldn’t rember since too many people had been arrested recently—damn, what kind of situation is this?
Can’t think of it.
No choice.
Cui Dongye had to turn back.
"Father."
"Are you on the airplane?"
"No, I’m also restricted from leaving the country, it’s a directive from the Supre Prosecutor’s Office but I don’t know why." Cui Dong-ho said briefly.
"What?"
There was a noticeable sound of sothing dropping on the other end.
"I’ll find out." His father said, taking a deep breath.
"Alright."
Minutes later.
"Your leave restriction order was issued ten minutes ago, ordered to be added by the Supre Prosecutor’s Office; my connections were in a eting and hadn’t tily inford ." Cui Dongye’s father looked gloomy.
The prosecutor’s office has undergone a major personnel change recently, failing to provide tily information.
And,
Ten minutes ago.
Who knew his son would try to leave at that ti; it’s just that this order was too coincidental. His son goes to the airport, just to be added to the list, not early or late, precisely at that mont.
Could it be... they were under surveillance?
If that’s the case.
Did sothing about him get exposed?
Previously,
The conglorates wielded power.
No one dared to bite them.
But over the past year, it felt like targeting them had beco the norm; hundreds of people investigated, hundreds already detained—who knew who might, for ’rit,’ turn on them now.
All of a sudden.
His mind was a bit chaotic.
"..."
"Father, what should I do?"
"First, co back, I’ll ask about the case later."
"Okay."
Cui Dongye had no choice but to return ho. In the car, his legs involuntarily trembled; what his father thought, he also thought—this peculiarity was certainly not just for coordination.
Back ho.
Before entering.
Cui Dongye was blocked by two Korean police officers and a prosecutor.
"Cui Dongye?"
"That’s ."
"I’m Prosecutor Lee Tae-hyeon from the Seoul Supre Prosecutor’s Office. You are identified as a key witness in a deliberate injury case, please co with us to the prosecutor’s office to assist in the investigation."
"I’m not a criminal."
Cui Dongye said coldly.
Assist in the investigation?
The attitude should not be one of arrest at the door—he was just scared, his heart was pounding.
"Sorry, this is a new case; we’re preparing to add it to the evidence for prosecution in two days, therefore, it’s urgent, please cooperate." This stance was completely different from the previous respect.
Staring at the two before him.
Cui Dongye was fuming.
If it were before, these people would have been highly respectful. Now, when things aren’t settled, they dared to be so arrogant—just wait, if we overturn this, new scores and old scores, we’ll count them together.
A group of ignorant people.
"Son, what’s going on?" Just then, his father hurried out.
"They’re looking for to assist in the investigation."
Cui Dongye replied.
In the end.
His father accompanied him to the prosecutor’s office.
...
Seoul.
Supre Prosecutor’s Office.
Interrogation Room.
This ti the personnel involved were of higher status; in the morning, they were still leaders, yet the turnaround ca quickly—by afternoon, they beca suspects under investigation, jointly interrogated by the prosecutor’s office and the judiciary.
"Jeong Do-won."
"Hmm?"
"You have been accused by your original secretary, in relation to a case on the eleventh of July, 2005, involving one death and three injuries in a brawl, of betraying witnesses and destroying evidence."
"Leading to three key witnesses being threatened by gang mbers, suspects being released right away."
"On the fifth of March, 2006, in a kidnapping and confinent case...
On the twenty-first of September, 2007, in a deliberate injury case...
Regarding the grave dereliction of duty reported in these three instances, do you admit to it?"
Upon hearing this.
Jeong Do-won shook his head in confusion.
"This is slander."
