Son of a Conglomerate at the Highest Level

Chapter 23

＜You do not need physical evidence＞

While Mr. Cheol-gu was eating, I finished my meal first and went for a walk in the garden with my mother.

Taesung Group bodyguards stood guard near the gate and garden.

I bowed my belly button to the bodyguards.

“Misters, you are working hard in the cold to protect us. Go inside, eat, and warm yourself up a bit.”

The bodyguards laughed.

“When I went to the warehouse, there was quite a lot of firewood piled up. Shall I light a warm bonfire?”

“Thank you, mister.”

It allowed my mother and I to sit on a garden bench and light a campfire.

“As expected, if you light a bonfire, you have to bake something like this.”

Mother smiled as she put potatoes and sweet potatoes on the fire.

“It seems like he came to play. A lot of stars are twinkling.”

Mother sat on the bench and looked up at the sky.

“The stars must have appeared like this every day on the way back home after selling all the vegetables. How could I not have thought of looking up at the sky?”

It’s because I don’t have room in my heart.

It would have been too much to live on.

Even giving birth to me alone in the body of a young woman with nothing and raising me.

It must have been a lot of hardship.

“Our house is really nice. right?”

“yes.”

“I didn’t know it during the day, but at night it has a taste. The garden here seems to have been decorated with great care.”

Sure. How much money do you have here?

Golden grass and flower beds, as well as garden trees and ornamental bonsai, are all the result of money.From noble mtl dot com

Not only garden stones, but also gigantic stone stones and flagstones on the floor.

It must have been the work of a first-class gardener with great care, only with generously expensive items.

“Junghyuk, you met your grandfather earlier. how was it?”

“How are you? I was heartbroken because I looked down on my mother.”

“then no. Mom was happy that there were many people in the world who would love Jung-hyeok.”

“I sold my dad to run a business, and I tried to throw my mom out because of that business. I don’t need a grandfather like that.”

“But Grandpa is right too. Compared to Dad, Mom…”

It means that if you follow your mother, the hardships will be clear.

That bastard’s old man spoke really nasty things.

“So you want me to follow Dad? Mom, can you live without me?”

“…”

“Look at that. you can’t answer I can’t live without my mother either.”

I hugged my mother tightly.

My mother patted me on the back.

“If you follow Dad, you will be able to thrive. Nice clothes, nice cars, meeting good teachers and going to college. Do you think you can live without worrying about money for the rest of your life? Until now, you have suffered a lot because of your mother.”

“What’s so special about a chaebol house? Do you think having a little money and a little power will make you happy on its own?”

I shook my head.

“I can earn money, and I can grow my strength. If I can’t protect my family, I don’t need money and power.”

I grew up with money and power to protect my family and my family.

“Actually, I only have one question. Does Mom still love Dad?”

“huh.”

“little?”

“No, a lot.”

“Then would you like to marry your father?”

It was a sad expression.

My mother gently stroked my hair.

“There are times when you can’t get married no matter how much you love each other. It’s because my mother lacks a lot.”

If my mother lacks, it must be money and a family.

Since when did people from chaebol families bring people into their homes while looking at their personality and ability?

‘I can’t do anything about my mother’s house, but I think I can solve it with money.’

I tied my mother’s scarf.

‘My mother should let me burn a pot of flowers and marry her off.’

I can’t help it if my father, whom I’ve never seen in my life, throws me out.

At that time, I didn’t even look at my father’s side, and it was enough to attend my mother.

Still, you should keep the possibility open until the end.

‘I couldn’t even dare to leave my mother behind and ask her to marry me. My daughter-in-law is like gold, and I only make her happy.’

There is nothing I can’t do.

‘Is this a sudden surge of motivation?’

The perfect opportunity has just arrived.

In that sense, I was itching to meet Mr. Cheolgu as soon as possible.

* * *

As if it was a lie that he staggered even after being supported by Taesung Group’s bodyguards.

Mr. Cheol-gu quickly became active.

“hahahahaha, I think I’m going to live a bit now! I thought you were going to die of hunger.”

It was because she was starving that she was so haggard and lethargic.

A body strong enough to withstand the torture of the court and a spirit that does not break even in death!

Like it.

“Off-billion-! ate well! As expected, the first-class Japanese chefs at Taesung Hotel! The workmanship is really killer!”

The chefs of Taesung Hotel look proud as if they brought a dying beggar back to life.

Mr. Cheolgu is busy giving thumbs up and hearts to the army of chefs.

The cleaning helpers cheering for Mr. Cheol-gu’s job with one heart and one mind.

Even her mother, who puts fried biscuits in a paper bag and hands them over to Mr. Cheol-gu.

I let out a long sigh as I looked at the house running very warmly.

“Whoa…”

You man, this is not the time to flirt leisurely here!

“mister.”

“I get it. Go, go!”

I dragged Mr. Cheolgu and came out again.

Both to digest food and to take a walk in the garden.

A chilly winter wind blew, and the bonfire burned beautifully.

“Oh, it’s cold! Little boy, you must have filled your stomach, can’t you listen while supporting your back on the warm lower neck?”

“People will come in from time to time to fix and clean the house, is that okay?”

“Ah, the chilly night air is perfect! It lifts my spirits.”

Mr. Cheol-gu took out freshly fried biscuits from a paper bag and bit into them.

It was an eating habit unlike a human who had eaten while piling up plates until just now.

He even licked his lips with a poker and rummaged through the potatoes and sweet potatoes he had put in the campfire.

“Mister, I need more information I haven’t recorded here.”

I took out a piece of paper from my pocket and waved it around.

What Chairman Cha and Secretary Kim want.

It was a page cut from Wookwang Construction’s bribery ledger.

＜You have a heart symptom, but no physical evidence?＞

I tapped the passage with my fingertips.

“A heart attack is enough. Even if there is no physical evidence, it doesn’t matter.”

This time, Mr. Cheolgu tapped on the empty blank.

“Information I couldn’t write here because there was no evidence. Circumstances and grounds until the uncle hardened his heart. That’s what I want.”

“Kid, in the adult world. Physical evidence is more important than psychological evidence.”

Iron Man let out a long sigh.

“I have no ties to Tae-seong. So at least you have to have solid evidence, so the high-ranking nobles in Taeseong will pretend to listen and move their heavy hips.”

The uncle also frowned.

“Woo-gwang blocked it so well that there was no such thing as an impregnable wall. The media turned a blind eye, the court moved, the whistleblower inside Wookwang Construction died, and the traitor in Taeseong went into hiding.”

It was like a cigarette pulling as he fumbled here and there in his pocket.

“Still, thanks to diligent research, I was able to narrow it down to two places.”

There are two places I would like to mention. uncle too?

“Damn it, if only Kim Kwang-pil of Wookwang Construction, who stole the bribe ledger, hadn’t died! He asked for personal protection, saying that we should meet and talk about the details, but that night, Kim Gwang-pil died at his home…”

Don’t talk so well, why cut off?

“done. pretend you didn’t hear I take the little boy and sing all the stars. Anyway, kid, get your hands off me.”

“late. I was already caught up in it. Did you see it before? The chief of staff who accompanies the chairman of Taesung Group comes to me and asks for this.”

I shrugged.

“I even took bribes. But let’s leave it like this. What do you think will happen?”

“······Little boy, you must really die.”

you’re welcome. isn’t it?

Even if I give the blank paper to Secretary Kim, there will be no problem.

In the first place, what Secretary Kim asked me to do was cut out three pages.

Whether it’s a blank sheet or not, that’s not my responsibility.

Besides, I’m not the one who wrote the bribery ledger.

But Mr. Cheolgu is different.

‘It’s you, not me, who falls into Secretary Kim’s hands.’

Mr. Cheol-gu said sadly.

“Little boy, don’t worry. This man won’t find evidence until the day after tomorrow. Okay then.”

This nobleman is greatly mistaken now.

“Mister, wait a minute.”

“huh?”

“After all, it’s not up to you to check the facts and solve this problem, right?”

“what?”

“That is the responsibility of Secretary Kim and Chairman Cha, and it is the homework of the Taesung Group. Then shouldn’t Tae-seong find the evidence?”

“······what?”

“Mister, all you have to do is make Chairman Cha and Secretary Kim understand the seriousness of the situation and give them a reason to move. That’s enough.”

“is it?”

“sure. Did you see it before? How did you come to have a connection with the Taesung Group? Besides, Taeseong first set out to solve the problem by paying a bribe, right?”

“Is that so?”

“All right?”

“All right? hahahaha! is this for real? Does it matter if there is no evidence anymore?”

yes.

‘Rather, it will be difficult if Mr. Cheol-gu comes forward and says he will find clear evidence by probing the Taesung Group.’

Who would like to hear that the central government is openly provoking businesses?

What about falling stock prices? What about other people’s attention?

‘What would you answer if the Blue House asked why? Since Woo-gwang stole Tae-sung’s money and spread bribes in all directions, it can’t be said that Tae-seong and the court are conducting their own investigation.’

Under the banner of eradication of corruption, the government strictly prohibits bribery of high-ranking officials.

Those who took bribes, those who distributed them, and those who were entangled in them will all be executed without mercy.

Tae-seong also couldn’t avoid the responsibility because he couldn’t keep the money properly.

Chairman Cha’s anger will be directed at the culprit who uncovered the scandal.

I stepped forward to prevent that terrible situation from happening.

I smiled lightly.

“So from now on, you have to fill this place properly.”

If the uncle writes it down roughly, I plan to fill in the missing parts.

I also learned the art of handwriting counterfeiting while working at a pawnshop.

I put the Montblanc fountain pen left by Secretary Kim into Mr. Cheol-gu’s hand.

“directly. by hand. The grounds and circumstances that solidified the sentiment, as well as inferences and predictions. All I know is Be sure to sign and seal.”

“good night!”

Mr. Cheolgu blinked one eye.

“Loyalty Loyalty! You’re right! Whatever it is, it will work out somehow. The next thing is, ‘Eh, I don’t know, let it happen.’ What to do!”

Then, I started writing it down.

‘what? Why is this flashing again?’

Why does a golden light suddenly start to flash in the crumbly rough ground?

What a great secret to write down.

‘uh? Is this information I didn’t know about? Was this how it came together?’

What I know is the footsteps of Taesung Group.

In other words, the process is skipped altogether, and information as a result.

However, what Mr. Cheolgu wrote down was the cause and the progress of the incident.

‘No, how the hell did this man know this?’
