Chapter 84

Amidst the one-sided accusations against Jin Yunho, South Korea's largest TV station, KBS, aired a special program.

Before the program began, a video clip was released.

The video was shot from the second floor opposite the Hwahora residence, not far away, and the footage was very clear.

This video, which lasted over ten minutes, meticulously documented everything that happened at the scene: from the moment Jin Yunho entered the house until the end, when Jin Sung-hoon reappeared with his men, reasserting his authority and handcuffing Jin Yunho.

After watching the video, all South Korean citizens were stunned.

What was going on? The situation at the scene was completely different from what Jin Sung-hoon had said at the press conference!

Jin Tae-vill did not threaten Hwahora, and what he held in his hand was not a weapon but a bouquet of flowers.

No one subdued Jin Tae-vill; instead, everyone was on high alert against Hwahora.

Moreover, throughout the video, Jin Sung-hoon only appeared at the beginning and the end, and was not present during the entire process.

It was Jin Yunho who was present at the scene the entire time.

After watching the video, all South Korean citizens had a huge question in their minds—what was the truth of the matter?

To boost ratings and fully engage the audience's curiosity, KBS did not immediately reveal the answer but invited several experts to analyze the video.

After a lot of rambling, finally, a lip-reading expert provided the audio for the video, completely reconstructing the events.

Subsequently, to further address the public's doubts, KBS invited two more people to reveal some other matters.

The first to take the stage was Director Roh Hong-jin, who explained the source of the 20 million won in Jin Yunho's personal account.

"This 20 million won is the money Jin Yunho, the prosecutor, received for selling a script. The money was transferred by a film investor.

Additionally, this is the contract signed between the production team and Jin Yunho, the prosecutor, which is also registered with the Korean Film Association. However, considering personal privacy, Jin Yunho used a pen name, 'Tian Xing,' at the time."

Roh Hong-jin's appearance to release this information and support Jin Yunho was partly due to Li Min-jun's instructions and partly to promote his film.

Announcing the name of the upcoming film to all South Koreans was a rare promotional opportunity, and with the impact of this incident, his film would receive significant attention.

Therefore, Director Roh Hong-jin appeared on the show.

After Roh Hong-jin stepped down, another person took the stage.

He was a lawyer representing Jin Tae-vill.

"Prosecutor Jin Sung-hoon accused my client, Jin Tae-vill, of remotely controlling the Panse Gang to threaten Hwahora. This accusation is a complete fabrication!

It is true that Jin Tae-vill had phone contact with the Panse Gang, but the purpose was not to threaten anyone; it was to restrain the Panse Gang from committing further illegal acts.

Here are the recordings of each phone call Jin Tae-vill made to members of the Panse Gang, which can prove his innocence.

Additionally, Jin Tae-vill was threatened by Jin Sung-hoon at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office. Jin Sung-hoon used his position to threaten and intimidate Jin Tae-vill, ordering him not to reveal the truth and to take all the blame.

Jin Sung-hoon's goal was to frame Jin Yunho and claim the credit that belonged to Jin Yunho."

With the presentation of these two pieces of evidence, along with the on-site video, the truth was revealed.

The truth was: Hwahora intended to murder Jin Tae-vill, planning to ignite the ether in the room and die with Jin Tae-vill. Jin Yunho arrived just in time and, using a lighter that wouldn't ignite, worked with Yoon Guk-hong, who appeared in the footage, to defuse the crisis.

Jin Sung-hoon had concealed this truth and lied to the media and the public.

Anger, sheer anger!

Jin Sung-hoon had treated all South Korean citizens as fools.

To hide the truth so shamelessly, to claim credit, and to frame a meritorious person—this behavior has always been the most hated by the public.

Out of anger at Jin Sung-hoon and guilt for wrongfully accusing Jin Yunho, many South Korean citizens held protests that night, expressing their dissatisfaction to the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, demanding a thorough investigation of the truth, to clear Jin Yunho's name, and to severely punish the lying Jin Sung-hoon.

When KBS aired this program, Jin Sung-hoon was holding a victory celebration with his subordinates.

To liven up the mood, Jin Sung-hoon deliberately turned on the TV to watch KBS's news program, seeing how the media criticized Jin Yunho and praised him.

However, the situation suddenly took a turn, and the on-site video and other evidence appeared on the TV.

Seeing this, Jin Sung-hoon was stunned.

With a great sense of panic, he immediately called his superior.

But the reply from the other end made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice pit—take responsibility for this yourself and do not involve me.

Seeing that his powerful superior had abandoned him, Jin Sung-hoon was utterly disheartened. He then called his family, hoping they could help him.

But the reply was still—helpless.

In a state of panic and anger, Jin Sung-hoon smashed the room, drove away his subordinates, and even had thoughts of suicide.

But before he could act, he was controlled by the Central Investigation Department and taken back to the Supreme Prosecutors' Office for questioning.

Now that the situation had become so serious, and KBS had released the on-site video and concrete evidence, the Supreme Prosecutors' Office could no longer protect Jin Sung-hoon and had to cut off its own limb, investigating Jin Sung-hoon under public pressure.

This time, the Supreme Prosecutors' Office acted very quickly and thoroughly.

The next morning, the truth and the punishment decision were announced.

Jin Sung-hoon was dismissed and charged with abuse of power.

Jin Yunho was released without charge, reinstated to his original position, and the Supreme Prosecutors' Office verbally commended him for his contributions in this case, recording the credit in his record.

The decision to release Jin Tae-vill early was valid, as there was no evidence that he had threatened Hwahora, and he was officially released.

Hwahora was charged with attempted murder of Jin Tae-vill, but considering his mental state, the background of the incident, and the lack of actual consequences, the Supreme Prosecutors' Office decided not to prosecute Hwahora and instead sentenced him to one year of community service.

After being detained for a night, Jin Yunho slept soundly in the interrogation room.

Therefore, when he was released, his mental state was quite good.

In the hallway, Jin Yunho met Jin Tae-vill, who was also released.

This was the first formal meeting between the two men.

"Jin Tae-vill, a commoner."

"Jin Yunho, a commoner prosecutor."

The two men stood face to face, shook hands, and introduced themselves briefly.

Jin Yunho asked, "Why did you choose me?"

Jin Tae-vill replied, "I don't trust people like Jin Sung-hoon, and I wouldn't feel comfortable entrusting myself and Hwahora to him.

But I know you and trust you. You were able to remain calm and defuse the situation at the time, showing courage.

You sent a person named Sanmao to inform my men of your entire plan, showing strategic thinking.

Sanmao did not betray your trust; he dared to storm the Panse Gang headquarters with a few Molotov cocktails to meet my men, showing good judgment.

Courage, strategy, and judgment—these are the reasons I chose you. I believe you can bring down Jin Sung-hoon."

After answering Jin Yunho's question, Jin Tae-vill asked in return, "Why were you so sure that I had those pieces of evidence?"

Jin Yunho played with the lighter in his hand and smiled faintly, "As an investigator, I know you! You are a smart person and wouldn't be so careless."

Jin Tae-vill also smiled, but his dark face made the smile look unpleasant. "Thank you for the compliment! I owe you a favor, a life. Let me know when you want me to repay it."

Jin Yunho smiled enigmatically, stood straight, and walked past Jin Tae-vill with a steady pace, "There will be an opportunity."

After saying this, he left with a determined spirit, knowing that the matter was not over and his plan had just begun.
