As soon as Jin Yunho stepped out of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, he was met with a frenzy of media coverage.
"Prosecutor Jin, what are your thoughts on Jin Seongho's abuse of power?"
"Prosecutor Jin, how did you determine that Jin Taevun had reformed?"
"Prosecutor Jin..."
In response to the reporters' questions, Jin Yunho merely smiled calmly and said nothing.
At this moment, he could not make any statements.
He knew that Jin Seongho was just a pawn for the other side, and there were others who truly wanted to deal with him, but he could not say this.
Because there was no evidence.
This matter could only end here. The other side would not cause him trouble for the time being; they would wait for the next opportunity.
And for the time being, Jin Yunho would not provoke the other side either. He needed to use this 'ceasefire' period to build up his strength.
Regarding the case, Jin Yunho could not say much. It involved his trump card, and saying too much could be detrimental.
Although Jin Yunho did not answer the questions, the reporters continued to pursue him, even if just to take a few photos.
Through this series of events, Jin Yunho became famous again.
Verifying Jin Taevun's performance in prison was quick and accurate; resolving the crisis on the scene was calm and composed; facing the frame-up, he was unbending.
This was the image of an excellent prosecutor.
Now, Jin Yunho's fan base on the internet has regrouped, and the number of fans has surpassed the previous record, reaching over ten thousand.
These fans, inspired by Jin Yunho's previous online nickname, named their fan club 'The Prosecutor Uncle Support Group.'
Most of these fans who like Jin Yunho are young people. Some admire his professional skills as a prosecutor; some are captivated by the photo from the shooting incident; and more are impressed by his calm and composed handling of the crisis this time.
Although the number of over ten thousand fans is not large, it has made Jin Yunho's popularity rival that of some third- and fourth-tier celebrities.
Jin Yunho did not have the energy to pay attention to these things, and even when he knew, he merely smiled calmly.
After shaking off the reporters, he joined Shin Donghae and Yoon Gukhong, who were waiting for him, and they headed back to the Gangnam District Prosecutors' Office together.
In the car, Shin Donghae enthusiastically recounted Jin Seongho's misfortune, his tone filled with satisfaction.
Jin Yunho was indifferent to this.
This time, the other side had underestimated him, and Jin Seongho had been careless.
His plan to feign death and then strike back had successfully deceived Jin Seongho. His defiant behavior had also enraged Jin Seongho, giving him the opportunity to turn the tables.
But the next time, it wouldn't be so easy.
He needed to quickly build up his strength and establish his authority.
The matter was far from over.
After listening to Shin Donghae's chatter, Jin Yunho looked straight ahead and asked Yoon Gukhong, "Investigator Yoon, how is the task I assigned you?"
Yoon Gukhong nodded and quickly pulled out a file, handing it to Jin Yunho. "This is KBS's return gift. It contains records of Director Jin Gwetae's illegal activities. According to these crimes, he could be sentenced to several years."
Jin Yunho took the file and quickly skimmed through it: **, endangering public safety, embezzlement, and other crimes. Not only were the charges numerous, but the evidence recorded was also very solid.
Using this, taking down Jin Gweta would be no problem.
This was the deal he had made with KBS: he gave them an exclusive reporting opportunity, and they gave him the chance to deal with Jin Gweta, each getting what they wanted.
The first step in establishing his authority, Jin Yunho targeted Jin Gweta.
The shooting incident last time was caused by Jin Gweta's secret retaliation. Jin Yunho did not immediately deal with Jin Gweta because he wanted to keep a low profile and thought it was not worth making a big fuss over.
But his leniency and tolerance were seen by others as weakness.
The current situation forced him to change his mind. He needed to retaliate against those who dared to bully him, establish his authority, and prevent himself from being unjustly bullied.
Jin Yunho lightly tapped the file containing Jin Gweta's criminal record and looked up at Yoon Gukhong. "Verify these criminal records and gather more solid evidence."
Yoon Gukhong hesitated for a moment and replied, "Prosecutor Jin, we are responsible for criminal cases. This involves many economic crimes, and I'm afraid there might be some procedural issues."
Jin Yunho smiled meaningfully. "That's true, I am responsible for criminal cases, but among Jin Gweta's crimes, there are criminal offenses, which is the breakthrough point. Prosecutors have the authority to investigate all types of cases. If criminal cases involve other types of crimes, they have the right to handle them together. I'm sure Investigator Yoon knows this, right?"
Hearing this, Yoon Gukhong's face turned red. "Cough, I haven't handled cases for a long time, so I'm a bit rusty. I'll investigate it as soon as possible."
Jin Yunho nodded slightly, looking satisfied.
By entrusting this task to the 'stranger' Yoon Gukhong, he also wanted to test him.
Investigating Jin Gweta was clearly Jin Yunho's retaliation against Jin Gweta, and Yoon Gukhong would not fail to see this.
Jin Yunho was forcing Yoon Gukhong to take a stance, to see if this old man would work diligently and if he was someone who could be entrusted with important tasks.
His time was very tight, and he needed to quickly bring this fractured team together.
Yoon Gukhong got off the car early with Jin Yunho's instructions.
"Boss, why didn't you give this task to me?" Shin Donghae asked when they were left alone in the car.
Jin Yunho did not reveal his plans and instead said, "Previously, I asked you to investigate Lin Yoon's agent. How did it go?"
Shin Donghae scratched his head, recalling, and replied, "That guy's family situation is normal, and he has no bad habits. It seems there are no other issues. I think he accepted the bribe just out of greed."
Jin Yunho shook his head decisively. "Impossible. Lin Yoon's ** company is the largest talent agency in South Korea, and both its public and behind-the-scenes influence must be significant. The head of the company must be very capable. A mere agent would not risk offending such a powerful ** company just for a 50 million won bribe. The risk and reward are not proportional. There must be other benefits in this matter. Investigate further. Don't focus on the tangible benefits; look into his personal life and see if he has other demands. Start from that angle."
After hearing Jin Yunho's analysis, Shin Donghae was enlightened and nodded hurriedly. "Okay, I'll investigate again."
Shin Donghae also got off the car halfway.
Jin Yunho drove back to the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office alone.
He asked Shin Donghae to investigate the agent to find a breakthrough, to trace the clues and find evidence of the rich second-generation Jin Jihyun's crimes.
Undoubtedly, dealing with just one Jin Gweta would not satisfy him. Only by taking down the rich second-generation Jin Jihyun as well could he achieve the purpose of intimidating others and establishing his authority.
Revenge and establishing authority would start from here.
