46 – Unstable Power
Deputy Director Wang Chong, an executive member of the Communist Party and one of President Xi Peng’s trusted aides.
Recently, he was in a situation where he was in great trouble.
‘It’s not good… the current situation is really…”
For the past 20 years, he has been serving his master and the leader of this country with all his might.
Wang Chong, who has enjoyed formidable power and glory as the closest aide to President Si Geun-ping, who is the absolute power who has ruled China, a huge country, and who sits at the peak of a population of 1.4 Billion.
However, at this moment, he was deeply troubled about his future, which was getting darker and darker.
From noble mtl dot com.
It wasn’t a question of losing his trust in his master.
As an aide who has been with him for 20 years, the trust of the president is still solid.
In addition, Director Wang Chong, as an aide to the powerful, was also a person who knew very well how to survive for a long time.
Do not go against the master’s wishes no matter what, show full support for what he is doing, and do your best to achieve whatever he wants.
That was the iron rule that Wang Chong absolutely followed as a faithful follower of President Tsui and a dog who lived off his virtue, and it was a way for Wang Chong to survive stably in the face of countless purges over the past time. Paved the way
But now, Wangchung, who has been living as his master’s faithful dog, is feeling like living on a cushion of thorns every day due to the approaching crisis.
The biggest reason that makes him tremble with anxiety.
It was about… His master’s health condition, which was getting worse day by day.
No matter how powerful he is, he is also a human being.
It was only natural for people to grow old, get sick, and get weaker as time passed.
Up until now, he had been able to endure somehow with the help of modern medicine, but as he passed 80 and 90, even that was slowly showing his limits.
Literally, in a state of health that would not be strange even if he died at any time, he is struggling to keep his seat of power day by day.
And…
Watching him like this from the side, Wang Chung was living in deep anguish every day.
It is natural for a subordinate to be concerned about his master’s health.
However, this had a different aspect from the general idea of loyalty to the owner.
‘If… if Josuke really dies like this, then I am also finished. I’m sure those jackass-like guys will jump at me right away and tear me limb from limb.’
In the meantime, as an aide to President Bit, he was Wang Chung, who had done a lot of things by trusting in his back.
Among them, starting from eliminating political opponents for his own power, intervening in various businesses to embezzle huge amounts of money, secretly making deals with other countries to get back money, and all sorts of dirty and miscellaneous things. Had been
Up until now, no one took issue with this thanks to Juseong’s back stomach, but… If Joo Jin died and the existence he could rely on disappeared, it was clear that his life would literally fall into hell from then on.
‘Damn it. I never thought things would get twisted like this.’
Wang Chong regrets his careless actions in the past.
But even so, there was nothing he could do in this situation.
He has already come too far to catch up.
Currently, there are not one or two people inside and outside the Gongsangdang who are preparing to slit Wang Chung’s head at the moment when President Sit dies.
Even if he disposes of his property and runs away to a foreign country, his gloomy future will never change, and considering this, he would rather die and kill himself at the same time as he can take the last remaining pride for him. It might have been a wise move.
‘Damn it.
An elderly man in his 90s who was able to come this far with the help of modern medicine, but even that is reaching the limit
As it is literally an impossible realm other than God, Wang Chong knew full well that he could not expect anything about it.
But despite this, he was in a situation where there was no answer to the point of worrying about it, so Wang Chong was superstitious, so he was trying his best to find a way.
Of course, I’ve never come across anything useful until now.
‘In the end… is the only thing left to do is to commit suicide? A life that will end anyway with the death of the chieftain. I’d rather leave the world cleanly…’
Wang Chong is gradually accepting the fact that he has no choice but to accept death like that.
Then…
Suddenly, the phone started ringing in his ears.
“.. Huh? This person is..”
A phone call from a friend after a long time.
At this, Wang Chong picked up the phone and spoke with a little joy in the midst of worry.

A posh pub located in the heart of the city.
In the depths, Wang Chong met Li Qingqing, a friend of his whom he hadn’t seen in a while, and also an official of the Sangsang Party.
However, against the background of a bar, he asked his friend with a little urgency, without even touching the high-quality liquor that was being poured in front of him.
“That… Is that for real? You mean there really are people like that?”
“That’s right. Do I look like the kind of person who would be talking nonsense in a situation like this?”
“Um…Um… That’s the case, but it’s a story you can’t believe.”
Wang Chong is dubious about the words of his old friend Li Qingqing.
Watching him like that, Li Qingqing drank from the liquor in front of him and continued his words.
“It doesn’t matter if you can’t believe it, you’ll have no choice but to believe it once you see it with your own two eyes. To be honest, I couldn’t believe it until my daughter introduced me, but now I’m even introducing you like this.”
“… If it’s your daughter… You mean the girl who recently returned from Korea after failing in a mission? Her name must be ..”
“Lee Shui-young, in Korea, she was called Lee Seol-yeong. Anyway, the girl introduced her as a sign of apology and to say something well to the president, so please meet her once. If she were killed, wouldn’t it be a great treasure to you?”
“..If it’s true.”
Li Qingqing tells an incredibly unbelievable story.
However, despite this, as he listened to his confident words, Wang Chong began to think that it would be okay to meet him once.
‘There’s nothing to lose by meeting you. If it’s a scammer, just kick it out or punish it, so… But…’
Although I didn’t believe it, if this story was true, it must be a talent that could be a great treasure to Wang Chong himself, as Li Qingqing said.
At that point, Wang Chong decided to meet him with a thread of expectation, and Li Qingqing began to smile brightly at this.

A man appeared in front of her at the promised time and place.
He is wearing a white suit and has a rather sharp impression…
Looking at him who gave off an unusual feeling at a glance, Wang Chong started to smile bitterly in his heart.
‘By the way… I never thought I would be pushed this far. I’ve met several similar scammers. To make the decision to meet a human who openly claims to give immortality to immortality…’
With that thought in mind, Wang Chong greeted him as he bowed politely in front of him as a superior.
“Are you the person Li Qingqing introduced you to?”
“Yes, it is. I am Sotos, who was recommended by the elder Li Qingqing. I look forward to seeing you in the future, Manager Wang Chung 『”
