Chapter 90

After leaving the production team, Kim Yun-ho thanked the police who had come to support them.

Then, he instructed Yoon Guk-hong, "Investigator Yoon, take two people and bring Kim Gwe-tae back to the prosecutor's office for interrogation. The initial questioning and investigation will be your responsibility.

We have gathered enough evidence of Kim Gwe-tae's crimes. The scattered minor offenses are almost enough to convict him. Once we return, focus on investigating the rape case. Let me know if there's any news."

"Understood," Yoon Guk-hong replied after a moment of hesitation.

After giving Yoon Guk-hong his instructions, Kim Yun-ho left with Shin Dong-hae.

Once in the car, Kim Yun-ho sat down and asked, "Now you can tell me, how is the investigation into Lin Yoon-ah's agent going?"

He didn't involve Yoon Guk-hong in this matter, partly because Yoon Guk-hong had other tasks, and partly because he didn't trust the old man enough.

To deal with the offspring of a second-rate Korean family, the risk was not small given his current strength and foundation, and he couldn't afford to be careless.

Upon hearing Kim Yun-ho's question, Shin Dong-hae didn't start the car immediately. He organized his thoughts and replied, "I found out that the agent has a son who just graduated from middle school. He will be entering the prestigious Gangnam Pungnam National High School after the new semester starts.

This Pungnam High School is one of the best in Seoul, with very strict admission criteria. His son's grades were not good enough to get into this high school. However, he managed to get his son in through some unknown means."

Kim Yun-ho's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Can you investigate who processed the admission for his son?"

Shin Dong-hae rubbed his head and replied bitterly, "I found the person, the vice-principal of the school, but there's no concrete evidence."

Kim Yun-ho patted Shin Dong-hae's shoulder and encouraged him, "It's good to have a lead. Keep an eye on this vice-principal and investigate him."

Shin Dong-hae nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Boss, are you planning to trace the vice-principal through the agent to eventually get to Kim Ji-seon? But if we do that, won't Lin Yoon-ah's situation also be exposed?"

Kim Yun-ho was about to light a cigarette when he heard Shin Dong-hae's words. He paused, shook his head, and said, "Bribery for an admission spot is a minor issue; we'll let it go.

I want you to investigate the vice-principal to find the connection between him and Kim Ji-seon and uncover bigger issues. It won't involve the agent, and it won't implicate Lin Yoon-ah."

Hearing this, Shin Dong-hae let out a sigh of relief, "Oh, that's a relief. I noticed your relationship with Lin Yoon-ah seems a bit strange. Don't let this matter cause any more trouble, or you'll really lose your chance."

"Get lost, what nonsense is this?" Kim Yun-ho gave Shin Dong-hae a light tap on the head and laughed.

"Hehe, got it, boss. I'll get to work," Shin Dong-hae replied with a smile, thinking Kim Yun-ho was blushing.

"Leave the car to you. I have to go somewhere," Kim Yun-ho shook his head helplessly at Shin Dong-hae's misunderstanding, got out of the car, and waved.

Kim Yun-ho disappeared for the afternoon and returned to the district prosecutor's office just before quitting time.

"Prosecutor Kim, we found the victim in the rape case involving Kim Gwe-tae, and the situation is confirmed. Although Kim Gwe-tae has obtained the victim's forgiveness, we can still file a criminal lawsuit against him.

With the rape charge and other offenses, he can be sentenced to at least three years in prison," Yoon Guk-hong reported, holding a small notebook.

Kim Yun-ho returned to his seat, took a sip of water, and asked, "Has he confessed to the crimes? Has he made a statement?"

Yoon Guk-hong closed his notebook, shook his head, and replied, "Not yet, but it seems he's not planning to deny it. He has requested to see you."

Kim Yun-ho waved his hand, "Don't see him yet. He wants to see me to ask for leniency in the prosecution. Wait until someone pleads for him."

"Understood, I got it," Yoon Guk-hong bowed and then glanced at the clock, hesitantly asking, "Prosecutor Kim, the case against Kim Gwe-tae is almost wrapped up. So... can I go home now?"

Kim Yun-ho smiled, "Sure, you've worked hard these past few days."

Yoon Guk-hong's face lit up with a smile, and he replied happily, "Hehe, not at all, not at all. I'll go home then, you've worked hard too."

After Yoon Guk-hong left, Kim Yun-ho reviewed the interrogation records of Kim Gwe-tae. After spending about ten minutes, he looked up to drink some water and noticed an unexpected situation:

Lee Hye-na was still at work, not playing with her makeup mirror, but focused on something on the computer.

This was surprising.

Kim Yun-ho asked curiously, "Secretary Lee, you haven't gone home yet?"

Lee Hye-na stood up and replied, "No, there haven't been any new clothes in the stores recently, so shopping isn't interesting. I decided to stay and work overtime. I'm monitoring the news online for you, and I'll notify you immediately if there's any emergency."

Not interested in shopping, so she decided to work overtime?

That's really frustrating.

But hearing the second part, Kim Yun-ho smiled.

Yesterday, Lee Hye-na provided a timely piece of information, which might have given her a sense of purpose, making her more engaged in her work.

A good sign.

Kim Yun-ho had been through the new employee phase himself and could understand Lee Hye-na's small sense of achievement and her current state.

She wasn't lazy about work; she just didn't take her secretarial duties seriously, thinking it was beneath her as a high-achieving graduate to do menial tasks like cleaning and serving tea, which made her lax.

Understanding Lee Hye-na's mindset, Kim Yun-ho began to think about how to fully motivate her. He started to focus on training her.

After some thought, Kim Yun-ho came up with a good idea and instructed Lee Hye-na, "Secretary Lee, we have an operation tonight, and you have an important task. Don't go home yet; stay and wait for further instructions."

Hearing that she had a task, and an important one at that, Lee Hye-na jumped up, extremely excited, and asked, "Prosecutor Kim, I have a task? What is it?"

Seeing Lee Hye-na's excited state, her usual coquettish tone gone, Kim Yun-ho suppressed a smile and replied, "It's confidential to prevent information leaks. Just wait for further instructions."

"Confidential to prevent leaks? It must be a big task."

Hearing this, Lee Hye-na became even more excited. She bowed 90 degrees to Kim Yun-ho and respectfully replied, "Understood."

Seeing the excitement in Lee Hye-na's eyes, Kim Yun-ho knew his approach was correct.

His mood improved even more.

Although each member of his team had obvious flaws and other prosecutors didn't use them, Kim Yun-ho valued these people.

These four each had their own small talents, and their backgrounds were clean, with few connections to others or other forces, making them the best candidates for training.

To achieve his goals, his team must be loyal and reliable, with no ties to others.

The biggest threat is not the visible enemy but internal instability, where someone within the team betrays you at a critical moment.

Therefore, a clean background was what Kim Yun-ho valued most, and this was the fundamental reason he chose these people.

In the office, Kim Yun-ho worked overtime with Lee Hye-na and Song Eun-ji.

Lee Hye-na and Song Eun-ji were each busy with their own tasks.

Kim Yun-ho, on the other hand, leaned back in his chair, quietly waiting for two phone calls.
