Chapter 66

Including Jin Yunho, the four prosecutors were waiting for Luo Wenshan to announce the results of the "sentencing."

Silent, anxious, suffocating.

After a moment, a steady and authoritative voice sounded:

"Prosecutor Jin Yunho, stay. The others, return to your offices and wait for notification."

"Phew..." Having narrowly escaped, the other three prosecutors immediately left, and Dong Chengdu, the second-in-command, also followed.

In the meeting room, only Jin Yunho, with a gloomy expression, and Luo Wenshan, who had just spoken, remained.

"Sir... why did you choose me?" After a moment, Jin Yunho asked.

He couldn't understand; Luo Wenshan had always been kind to him before.

Even after he caused such a big mess by firing a gun, Luo Wenshan neither suppressed him nor obstructed his private investigations. But why did he choose him to take the fall this time?

Luo Wenshan tapped the table and slowly answered, "It's not that I chose you, but someone else chose you for me."

Jin Yunho's piercing gaze flickered, and he raised his head to ask, "Who is it?"

Luo Wenshan shook his head and said nothing.

Then, he took out a file and placed it on his left side: "This file records Jin Taecun's behavior in prison. If you pick it up, it means you have officially accepted the task."

In that brief moment, Jin Yunho quickly thought about who could be setting him up to fall into this deep pit.

He had just returned to Korea, and if he had any enemies, it would only be the spoiled rich kid, Jin Jixuan.

But Jin Jixuan, from a second-rate family, without using family influence, how could he have the power to pressure Luo Wenshan and frame him?

Suddenly, Jin Yunho thought of another possible enemy—the senior prosecutors in the prosecution system.

When he was promoted last time, he heard rumors that several of the eight senior prosecutors didn't like him.

Adding to that, the Supreme Prosecutors' Office's unfriendly attitude after the gun incident. Jin Yunho deduced that the person Luo Wenshan mentioned was one of the eight senior prosecutors.

No wonder Luo Wenshan made this decision; facing a senior prosecutor, even a third-level chief prosecutor like Luo Wenshan couldn't resist.

After guessing the whole story, Jin Yunho smiled freely. It seemed he couldn't avoid it, so he might as well face it calmly.

A smile is always better than a frown.

Jin Yunho stood up and walked firmly to Luo Wenshan, reaching out to take the file on the table.

But...

"Slap."

Luo Wenshan pressed his hand heavily on the file, shook his head, and smiled mysteriously: "Not so fast, there are other options."

Then, Luo Wenshan took out a form from his briefcase and placed it on his right side: "This form records some ordinary criminal case information. You can choose it as well."

To defy the will of those above and help him avoid this big pit, Luo Wenshan would have to pay a high price. Perhaps Luo Wenshan couldn't afford it.

Jin Yunho didn't reach for the form on Luo Wenshan's right side. There's no such thing as a free lunch, and he was afraid of biting off more than he could chew: "What are the conditions?"

Luo Wenshan smiled approvingly and shook his head: "No conditions, consider it a welcome gift for joining."

This was forcing him to take sides! To choose to support Luo Wenshan, or the person behind Luo Wenshan!

Since breaking ties with the Li family, Jin Yunho had planned to temporarily not support anyone, as he didn't want to experience the feeling of being abandoned again.

So, he planned to lie low for a while, wait until he understood the situation and had a solid foundation, and then consider taking sides. At that time, he wanted to be the one making the moves, not a pawn on the chessboard.

But the sudden events of today disrupted his plans, forcing him to face the choice again.

Jin Yunho didn't give an answer but expressed his true thoughts.

"I don't want to stay in the Criminal Department forever!"

This was the first time he revealed his ambition; he had greater aspirations.

At the same time, it was a reminder to Luo Wenshan that it was time to reveal the person behind him.

"Is this a hint that I can't give him more support?"

Luo Wenshan laughed heartily, showing no displeasure at Jin Yunho's words: "Indeed, once you leave the Criminal Department, I can no longer take care of you, but the person behind me can!"

The fox had shown its tail.

"Who?" Jin Yunho straightened up, his gaze deep as he looked at Luo Wenshan.

Luo Wenshan's fingers tapped the table, and he silently uttered three words:

"Park Gukwon!"

It was him!

Hearing this name, Jin Yunho was shocked but not surprised.

It made sense that Prosecutor Park Gukwon was Luo Wenshan's backer.

Jin Yunho just didn't expect that Park Gukwon would use Luo Wenshan to actively recruit him for the second time.

Not long ago, Park Gukwon had tried to recruit him once, but he was forced to choose the Li family of the Lotte Group, which made Park Gukwon give up.

This time, it might be because Park Gukwon noticed his break with the Li family, so he proposed the recruitment again.

Jin Yunho roughly guessed and then found himself in a difficult choice.

If he chose to support Luo Wenshan and the senior prosecutor Park Gukwon behind him, he would avoid this big pit.

In the future, in the Criminal Department of the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office, he would receive more care from Luo Wenshan, and even if he advanced further, he would still receive support from Park Gukwon.

A distant neighbor is not as good as a close one. Luo Wenshan, his direct superior, and Park Gukwon, his top superior, were currently Jin Yunho's best choice for support.

If he refused, he would be forced to jump into this big pit. Even if he could handle it this time, he would still receive difficult and thankless tasks in the future. He might even face retaliation from Luo Wenshan and Park Gukwon.

He had already offended the senior prosecutors in the prosecution system, and several senior prosecutors didn't like him. His colleagues in the prosecution system also ostracized him. If he offended his current direct and top superiors, his life would truly be unbearable.

Jin Yunho was forced to choose a side for the second time.

"Ha ha! Every time, others are the 'attackers,' and I am the 'receiver'! This feeling... is really fucking unbearable!"

Facing Luo Wenshan's high and mighty gaze, Jin Yunho stood tall, his eyes fixed on the two simple items on the table. His distant and profound gaze seemed to have already traveled far, far away.

After a long and short silence.

Jin Yunho extended his long, pale right hand and pressed it heavily on the file on Luo Wenshan's left side—clearly written on it were the words: "File of Serious Offender Jin Taecun."

"I choose this one."

Surprise, shock, disbelief—all these expressions appeared simultaneously on Luo Wenshan's face.

Jin Yunho's lips curled into a slight smile, he bowed, took the file, and turned to leave, his steps becoming increasingly firm.

His tall, clear eyes slowly revealed a proud smile, a cold smile that reflected the faint ripples in his eyes, making him look dazzling and captivating.

Since he had already decided not to rely on anyone for the time being, he had to stick to it!

As for the suppression and framing he would face... he was fearless.

He firmly believed: 'attackers' and 'receivers' would soon switch roles!

Beneath his calm exterior, he hid a rebellious and stern nature that others couldn't understand.

He wasn't naive; in the capitalist political arena, relying on others and choosing sides were things he could accept.

But he didn't want to be forced to choose sides again and again.

He wanted to control his own career path.

He had his own plans and considerations.
