son I met after a long time,
Jang Min-soo’s face was dark and overall he was exhausted.
Jang Young-jun could guess that his son had suffered a lot.
“Father, I’m here.”
“Sit down.”
When Jang Min-soo sat across from him, Jang Young-jun cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
“I’ve heard it over the phone, but I still can’t believe it. Is everything you said true?”
“Yes. Sohn Young-seok, the vice minister, and the volunteer diplomacy project were all done by him.”
“Umm…”
I expected that my son had not lied, but as soon as I reconfirmed, a moan came out.
“Father, what should I do? No matter what the reason, Uncle will not stand still.”
“What would you like to do?”
“Wouldn’t it be better for us to move first before we get hit?”
“It seems that Hak-jun is happy that his tenure is over.”
“It’s not.”
“No, it’s all written on your face.”
Jang Young-jun took out a cigarette and lit it.
“Whoa, he’s my younger brother, but Hakjun started as an employee and rose to the position of CEO of Daehyun Construction, and he entered politics and became president.
“……”
“You won’t even realize how scary he is.”
“I know how scary Uncle is. That’s why I told you to move first.”
“how?”
“……?”
“How do you mean to move? Are you going to make an accusation on the other side of the resource diplomacy project?”
Jang Min-soo could not answer his father’s straight-forward question and remained silent.
Even though that’s the picture he wants.
“Minsu, it’s no use trying. The Prosecutor General, the Minister of Justice, and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court are all Hakjun, so do you think it’s possible?”
Jang Min-soo thought of the media, but then shook his head.
This is because all three major companies have worked hard to establish relationships since the days when President Chang Hak-jun was involved in Daehyun Construction.
At present, no major media outlets that will lead public opinion in Korea have been able to contact them.
“Then I’d rather go to the opposition…”
At the son’s words, Jang Young-jun shook his head.
“You just want to take responsibility.”
“father!”
“If you look at it, the biggest fault is with Vice Minister Sohn, who is in charge of the project. And even so, Hakjun and I are brothers, and you are my son. If you self-discipline for a few years, you’ll be fine.”
At those words, Jang Min-soo’s spine shuddered.
It was because the uncle he had seen since childhood was nothing but a psychopath.
He was never the kind of person who would go overboard.
‘Ah, ah, I’d rather decide on my own and expose it…’
Although he is a brother, unlike his uncle, his father had a weak heart and was immature.
I know that, but the matter was so serious that we discussed it, and it was counterproductive.
Jang Min-soo hated himself for being indecisive.

After the conversation with Koh Sang-moon was over, he called again.
The person on the phone was Lily, who was attached to Jang Min-soo.
After a brief greeting with her, I asked her about the current situation.
“Lily, how about Jang Min-soo?”
A heavy voice came over the phone at my question.
-Since I met my father, I have been locked up in my room all day.
“You don’t know what we were talking about?”
-Yes, as soon as I got home, I skipped a meal and didn’t come out, so I didn’t have time to talk.
“Maybe things didn’t go well with Jang Young-joon. Min-soo Jang decided to expose, right?”
– I’m sure. That’s why I said that, after the last discussion with my father, I’m going to hand over the data to the prosecutor’s friend.
It’s funny.
That a nephew knows Hak-Jun Jang better than a brother.
‘Actually, even if I lose and roast like that with my sister, I don’t know the feelings of a noona who is like a psycho.’
Perhaps brothers, siblings, or sisters who grew up together don’t know each other more.
Because you think you know, you may not know the real truth, or you may not really get along very well.
“Stop leaving Lily there. Call me on the number you gave me before, and I’ll take you to Macau safely.”
The number is the members of the Triad in Korea.
He was going to let her go back to her hometown by any means, legal or illegal.
-Will my presence help?
“Lily did everything she could do. Now Min-soo Jang is more difficult to control, so she’s gone.”
-……yes.
I smiled at her muffled voice.
“When I arrive in Macau, I will stop by the SWM Group headquarters for a while. If I go there, Lily’s hard work will be worthwhile.”
-……yes.
I’m not very surprised.
Well, I put quite a lot of it, so you’ll be surprised to see it in person.
“I’m going to work in a casino this time, so I think I’ll go to Macau often. Lily will buy me some rice when I go.”
-really!?
Now your voice is lively.
“Yeah, I’ve been there a while ago.”
-I see. I’ll wait for you in Macau.
I smiled and told her.
“See you later, you’ve worked hard all this time.”
-Thank you, Mr. Jean.
After hanging up, I leaned back deeply on the sofa.
‘I didn’t know that Jang Min-soo would be so indecisive…’
Still, I thought he would recognize the situation as he was a person who learned enough to learn and even went into construction.
But it’s a discussion with your father that you spend a lot of time and do nothing.
The Blue House would have already started an overall investigation into the resource diplomacy project because of Son Young-seok’s work, and would be preparing countermeasures in case things go wrong.
The timing is already one step too late.
But what if Jang Young-jun and Jang Min-soo lowered their tails and went to Jang Hak-jun?
‘You will not be able to get your tail cut off or avoid punishment by example…’
What will happen after that?
If Hak-Jun Jang is persistent, he might even reach out to me.
As Koh Sang-moon said, it was necessary to be careful.
‘Even if teeth and claws are missing, a tiger is a tiger…’
teeth and claws.
Those are Hak-Jun Jang’s left arm, Deputy Minister Son Young-Seok, and his right arm, Chief Secretary Choi Soo-Hyeok.
His left arm was in Madagascar, and his right arm was cut off by a knife called Seongsam a while ago.
‘Skin it, don’t you?’
Looks like I’m going to have to get ready to take it off.
That way everyone around me will be safe.
***
Blue house.
Young-Jun Jang and Min-Soo Jang entered the Oval Office with criminal faces.
“Brother, are you here?”
“Yeah, that’s right. Minsu also came.”
“Hmm, Min-su is here too. You’ve had a lot of trouble abroad.”
“Oh no… I’m sorry, Uncle.”
Min-soo Jang shook his head in a cold sweat.
Contrary to words, it was because Jang Hak-jun’s eyes were so cold.
“Let’s talk slowly and sit down first. Please sit down, too.”
Hak-Jun Jang took a seat first and suggested a seat.
The two put their buttocks together as if they were sitting on a cushion of thorns.
“It’s Minsu.”
At Hak-Jun Jang’s call, Min-Soo Jang swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth.
“Yes, Uncle.”
“How much money have you secured?”
“That’s about 3 trillion.”
“Huh, heh heh heh. Pouring 100 trillion won into 3 trillion… that’s one-tenth of the initial estimate.”
Jang Min-soo immediately knelt on the floor.
“sorry.”
“Okay. Not only the place you were assigned to, but also the place that Vice Minister Sohn was assigned to, but I don’t blame you.”
“……”
“But you will have to take responsibility.”
At those words, Jang Young-jun opened his mouth.
“Hakjun-ah, I found out that this division was formed because Vice Minister Son got caught up in a quarrel in Macau. At that time, our Minsu had just joined.
“Brother, please be still. You were the one who asked for Minsu to participate in the project in the first place. Did you say that at the time?”
“……”
“If things go wrong, my brother and I, as well as my uncle and nephew, will end.”
Jang Young-jun had no choice but to walk away with his mouth shut.
“In order to discuss a reasonable punishment, you must first know the cause.
“At that time, there was a dispute with a gambler named Jin Yu-seong, who was Vice Minister Son at a casino tournament in Macau.”
“Wait, Jin Yu-seong?”
“yes.”
“The name comes up in relation to Madagascar, is it the same person?”
“Yes, that’s right. Vice Minister Son was also made that way by that friend.”
“Recite what you know, everything.”
Jang Min-su explained that he intervened in the resource diplomacy project and intercepted rogue waste such as the Madagascar nickel mine, and only robbed money from slush funds.
“Even if you hijack the mine, do you still take the money? How is he?”
“It seems that pre-work was done before we contacted you. And…”
“Wait, pre-work? What do you mean?”
“Information leaked from Macau…”
“under!”
Hak-Jun Jang was stunned and couldn’t speak.
The security was so thorough, but the information leaked!
“Did he steal information too? How?”
“Stanley Wu, Chairman of SWM Group in Macau, was close to him. It seems there is a problem with the hotel, but we have not been able to pinpoint it.”
“Such assholes!”
“……”
When Jang Min-soo lowered his head again, Jang Hak-jun shouted in annoyance.
“Keep your head down and keep going! There won’t be more!”
“Yes, yes. And the GL group seems to have colluded with him.”
“What? Are you sure?”
“I’m sure.”
The explanation that followed was about where the GL group had discord in the course of the project and left no room for problems.
“I knew in advance and prepared for it. Koh Sang-moon looks like this cunning guy.”
“Yes, all parts that can be used as a shield have been avoided.”
“You can’t say it twice!”
Jang Min-soo and Jang Young-joon’s necks slipped as if they were growing out of Hak-jun Jang’s nervousness.
“What should I do with these two fearless guys…”
As he blurted out the end of his words, Jang Young-jun opened his mouth as if he had seized the opportunity.
“Hakjun-ah, the GL group is in Korea, so we can tie it up somehow, but Jin Yu-seong is not in a foreign country.”
“So?”
“I think he’s doing pretty well in Australia, so I think I’ll have to call him back to Korea…”
“Who doesn’t know that!? Are you going to call me? Tell me how, don’t say nonsense!”
I couldn’t even finish talking, but I could see how angry he was at the sight of him shouting.
Jang Young-jun wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
“I found out that the name Jin Yu-seong is also in the internal records of the Magic Society.”
“Are you from a magic society?”
“Why did we import racehorses from Australia through GL Group in the past? 200 billion won.”
“Ah! That’s what you mean then? Was that guy in there too?”
200 billion won in slush funds raised using racehorses.
There was a time when the money that the GL group said was put into a Swiss secret account disappeared.
It was still in my mind because I was upset and turned over.
“It was a route to the horse society after raising the price of a racehorse with a paper company. However, there was a problem in the auction at that time, and it was said that it was purchased by an individual named Jin Yu-seong.”
“Oh, now that I see Koh Sang-moon and the guy I’ve known for a long time. Look at these bastards? Do you dare play with me?”
Hak-Jun Jang expressed his anger by grinding his teeth.
“The horses, which were worth about 2 billion won in market value at the time, were over 20 billion won, so what if we use that as an excuse to repatriate them to Korea?”
“Hopefully, we’ll be able to weave both of them together.”
At that moment, Minsu Jang hurriedly opened his mouth.
“Well, if that’s the case, my father…”
“Write! It’s Minsu.”
Jang Young-jun shook his head briefly and stopped.
He was sacrificing himself from the beginning to save his son.
“Hakjun-ah, please forgive our Minsu, because I will surrender.”
