Chapter 36

After Jin Yunho rushed to the door of the girl's cottage, he first knocked urgently.

Then, Jin Yunho, not wanting to wait any longer, looked around, found a corner of the wall, and climbed over it.

The process was clean and swift.

As for Yoon Gukhong, the old man, lacking the stamina, was left far behind by Jin Yunho.

After Jin Yunho jumped into the yard, the dog had already started barking wildly, and the lights in the house turned on.

Just as Jin Yunho reached the door, he heard someone inside shout, "Who is it?"

It was the male owner of the house, whose voice Jin Yunho had heard before.

Fortunately, everything was normal.

Jin Yunho breathed a sigh of relief, cleared his throat, and replied, "I am Prosecutor Jin Yunho, I was here earlier tonight."

Worried and anxious, plus the long run, Jin Yunho was already out of energy.

He leaned against the stone steps at the door, catching his breath.

After hearing the commotion, the male and female owners, along with the girl, came out.

The girl had been playing with her phone and, upon hearing the knocking, came out with her parents, still holding her phone.

At that moment, seeing Jin Yunho leaning against the stone steps, the dim yellow light casting a beautiful shadow on his handsome face, she couldn't help but take a photo of him with her phone.

At this time, Yoon Gukhong also arrived, along with the police who had 'timely' arrived.

The rest was simple. After communication, the police took charge of protecting the girl's safety, and Jin Yunho and Yoon Gukhong 'retired' from the scene.

On the way back, Yoon Gukhong suddenly said, "Do you regret it?"

Jin Yunho shook his head and said nothing.

He took out a cigarette, thought for a moment, then threw one to Yoon Gukhong before lighting his own and taking a satisfying puff.

He did not regret it.

If anything, he felt guilty.

Through today's events, Jin Yunho realized he had become too proud.

After being reborn in Korea, he had an inexplicable sense of pride.

More than ten years of poverty had not diminished this pride but rather made it deeply rooted in his heart.

At the age of 20, he stood out among 30,000 people, ranking first in the bar exam and entering the Judicial Research Institute. He consistently ranked first every year and was eventually sent to the United States for further training.

At that time, he felt a sense of pride, thinking that the level of education in Korea was nothing special.

After returning, his performance during the internship was highly praised by his superiors, and he completed his internship ahead of schedule. By chance, he met influential people, and his career advanced rapidly, becoming a third-level prosecutor at a young age.

His achievements were exceptionally brilliant, and his career went smoothly.

He became even more proud!

He lost the rigorous approach he used to have in handling cases and became arrogant and proud.

Today's events were a vivid example.

If he had been more cautious, even just half as cautious as before, he would have thought to control the pervert at the hospital first to prevent him from panicking and threatening the girl's safety.

If the girl had been harmed due to his negligence today, he would have blamed himself for the rest of his life.

It was precisely because of this guilt that he was so anxious and had to clear the way with gunfire when his path was blocked.

As for the consequences of firing the gun, who cares, as long as it brought him peace of mind.

Jin Yunho, at this moment, had returned to his usual demeanor and thought with a carefree attitude.

Jin Yunho did not regret it and did not take the gun incident seriously, but Yoon Gukhong was very worried.

A prosecutor firing a gun is not a small matter.

A few years ago, a prosecutor in Korea, due to a loss of composure, fired a gun in a non-critical situation. He was subsequently condemned by society and eventually dismissed by the Supreme Prosecutors' Office. He was the first prosecutor to be dismissed in recent years.

Yoon Gukhong did not want to see Jin Yunho face the same situation, which is why he was so worried.

Finding a prosecutor who could tolerate his quirks was not easy.

He was also considering his own interests.

When they returned to the prosecutor's office, it was already past 3 a.m. Jin Yunho, Yoon Gukhong, Shin Donghae, and Song Jieun were all still working.

Shin Donghae was responsible for organizing the case and writing the report; Yoon Gukhong was in charge of contacting the police to capture the escaped pervert; Song Jieun temporarily took on the role of a secretary, handling various tasks.

As for Jin Yunho, he was busy writing the 'gunfire' report.

Although he did not regret his decision to fire the gun, he was not foolish enough to argue with his superiors. He wrote the necessary explanations without missing a single detail.

He did not want to lose his job over this, as it was a well-paying job that was hard to come by. Moreover, he was very satisfied with his current work and did not know where he could find a career that excited him as much as his current job in the prosecution.

At 6 a.m., Chief Prosecutor Roh Wonsan arrived at the prosecutor's office first.

Upon arrival, he immediately scolded Jin Yunho harshly.

He could not believe that while he was sleeping, Jin Yunho had caused such a mess.

He had been confident that assigning the case to Jin Yunho would be worry-free, and even if Jin Yunho messed up, he could smooth things over.

But who the hell told you to fire the gun! Firing a gun is something he really couldn't smooth over!

From around 5 a.m., his phone had not stopped ringing, all inquiries about Jin Yunho's gunfire.

Damn! How would I know about Jin Yunho's gunfire? I was sleeping!

However, as Jin Yunho's superior, he had the responsibility to guide Jin Yunho, and he could not escape the connection to the incident.

After venting his anger, Roh Wonsan slumped in his chair and began to ask for the details.

But Jin Yunho's explanation only made things worse. As soon as he heard the details, Roh Wonsan jumped up and shouted,

"What are you doing! What are you doing?... Just because you were in a hurry, you fired a gun in front of so many people at a filming site? Did you forget the conditions and consequences of a prosecutor firing a gun during your years at the Judicial Research Institute?"

Jin Yunho, like a child who had made a mistake, remained silent and obediently accepted the criticism.

After a fit of anger, Roh Wonsan sighed deeply, "Give it to me!... What are you looking at, hand over your gun and work ID. Go home and reflect! When the decision is made, you will be notified. Now, get out!"

Jin Yunho handed over the gun without hesitation, but he hesitated for a second when handing over his work ID.

He was somewhat reluctant to part with it.

After returning to his office, Shin Donghae immediately approached, "How did it go?... Boss, what happened?"

Jin Yunho shook his head and said nothing, tidied up his desk, and then left the office with his coat.

Seeing Jin Yunho's dejected state, Shin Donghae was extremely worried and pressed, "Boss, what exactly happened?"

"Stop asking, he's probably been suspended." Yoon Gukhong, a seasoned veteran in the prosecution system, had a good idea of the punishment.

"Are you just showing off? Shut your big mouth." Shin Donghae, like a raging bull, confronted Yoon Gukhong.

Yoon Gukhong awkwardly smiled and said, "You should follow him, you're the one who knows Prosecutor Jin best."

Shin Donghae smirked, a bit smug, "Do you think I need you to tell me that?"

But just as he ran out, he quickly returned, leaning against the door frame, hesitating to speak, "That..."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of the report. Don't worry." As a seasoned veteran, Yoon Gukhong immediately understood Shin Donghae's return.

"Hmph, you have a conscience." With that, Shin Donghae hurriedly ran out to catch up with Jin Yunho.

Boss, don't jump off the building!

It's not easy to find a good boss, you can't die young!

Thankfully, these thoughts were only in Shin Donghae's mind. If Jin Yunho had heard them, he would have been furious.

You jump off the building! Your whole family can jump off the building, but I won't!
