Chapter 91

It was already evening, and a chill was in the air. In the Jiangnan District Procuratorate building, many windows were still lit, with prosecutors still busy at work.

The Criminal Department's Fourth Group office was also lit up.

However, unlike the quiet working environment of other offices, the phone here was ringing non-stop.

Jin Yunho was originally waiting for two special calls, but during the wait, he received many calls from strangers.

Most of these strangers were film and television directors, who first flattered Jin Yunho's script and expressed their desire to meet him.

Then, in the conversation, these people subtly pleaded for Director Jin Gwetae, hoping Jin Yunho would be lenient.

Among those pleading for Jin Gwetae were not only directors but also several government officials and presidents of two small companies.

"It seems Jin Gwetae is really in a hurry, to have so many people pleading for him so quickly," Jin Yunho said with a cold smile after hanging up the last plea call. The initial effect of his intimidation was evident, as the callers were all of high status and very polite.

The incident at noon had already been reported by several journalists present.

"Renowned Director Jin Gwetae was taken away for investigation by prosecutors during a film shoot."

Such a prominent headline immediately drew the attention of the public. The media, mindful of the Procuratorate and Jin Yunho's status, did not mention Jin Yunho's name. As a result, all the public's attention was focused on Jin Gwetae, speculating on what crime he might have committed.

Although Jin Yunho was not mentioned in the reports, the news had already spread in the entertainment industry—Jin Yunho had mobilized combat police to arrest Jin Gweta, with whom he had a grudge, on the spot.

Mobilizing combat police and holding an arrest warrant to arrest Jin Gweta at the filming site indicated that Jin Yunho had considerable influence behind him.

Jin Yunho was no longer a powerless, impoverished prosecutor! This was a consensus among everyone.

Many talent agencies, directors, and artists who had previously not taken Jin Yunho seriously began to reassess him and the power behind him, elevating their attention to him to the highest level.

In the entertainment industry, Jin Yunho was at the peak, and everyone avoided his sharp edge.

Those who called to plead for Jin Gweta also had the intention of building a relationship with Jin Yunho.

Jin Yunho did not put on airs; he answered all the calls with a smile and meticulously recorded the callers' identities in his notebook.

Dealing with Jin Gweta was due to their deep-seated conflict, and Jin Yunho wanted to establish his authority. However, he would not abuse his status as a prosecutor to unjustly belittle or offend others.

As for recording these identities, Jin Yunho had other uses for them.

...

At around 8 PM, the phone, which had been quiet for a while, rang again.

Hearing a variation of a canon, Jin Yunho's spirits lifted. Looking at the caller ID, he smiled and answered the call, hearing Shin Donghae's slightly excited voice:

"Boss, I have news. Jin Jihyun's father, Jin Byunhwan, is a deputy director at the Ministry of Land, Transport, and Maritime Affairs—Land Policy Bureau.

Fengnan National High School recently built a new campus, and the land planning was approved by Jin Byunhwan.

Additionally, Jin Jihyun's uncle, Jin Byunhwan's brother, runs a listed real estate company, which was responsible for the construction of the new campus.

I checked, and during the construction of the new campus, there were complaints about demolition compensation, but they were all suppressed.

Boss, this is a big case! One Jin Jihyun has led to a vice-principal of a national high school, a deputy director, and a real estate company president. It looks like there's a lot of water under the bridge.

Boss, what should we do? Should I continue investigating?"

After listening, Jin Yunho shook his head: "Investigate up to this point. Secret investigations won't yield direct, strong evidence. We need to find a way to break through Jin Jihyun. Go back to the Procuratorate; we have a task tonight."

Just as he finished the call with Shin Donghae, Jin Yunho received the second call he was waiting for, from Jin Taecun.

"Prosecutor Jin, I have the information you wanted: Jin Jihyun is at the Royal Dynasty Nightclub tonight, engaging in drug use, date rape, and other activities. I've also arranged a private room near Jin Jihyun for you," Jin Taecun's low, sinister voice came through the phone.

Jin Yunho smiled and replied, "Thank you."

Jin Taecun dismissed it: "It's no trouble. I said I owe you a favor, so feel free to ask for help in the future. That's it."

The call lasted less than a minute but brought important information to Jin Yunho.

Obtaining this information was troublesome, but for the leader of the Panxi Gang, Jin Taecun, it was simple and easy.

Jin Yunho had visited Jin Taecun in the afternoon, and it seemed to have been very effective, saving him a lot of trouble.

Now, the two calls Jin Yunho was waiting for had both brought good news. The next step was to put on a performance.

"Secretary Lee, could you help me with some makeup to make me look drunk? Can you do it?" he asked.

Lee Hwena stood up, examined Jin Yunho's face, and nodded: "I can, but why do you need this makeup?"

Jin Yunho smiled mysteriously: "It's a secret, but this makeup is important. If this mission is successful, I'll give you credit."

"Really?!" Lee Hwena exclaimed, her eyes shining as she began to excitedly apply makeup to Jin Yunho.

She found her value in the team. Although this might not be something to be proud of, it gradually gave her a sense of belonging to the team.

This was what Jin Yunho hoped to see.

Lee Hwena was very beauty-conscious and had excellent makeup skills.

Under her skillful makeup, it didn't take long for a drunk version of Jin Yunho to come to life.

Looking in the mirror, Jin Yunho nodded in satisfaction.

Soon, he took a camera and met up with Shin Donghae, who had returned, and they headed to the Royal Dynasty Nightclub.

On the way, Jin Yunho handed the camera to Shin Donghae and gave him instructions on the plan.

After listening, Shin Donghae laughed: "Ha, boss, this plan is great. I guarantee Jin Jihyun will fall for it."

Jin Yunho shrugged, not commenting: "To achieve our goal, I don't mind using some small tricks. I just want the final result."

The victor is the king, the loser is the bandit.

This phrase applies to all societies and is his firm belief.

The two drove to their destination—the Royal Dynasty Nightclub.

There, Jin Yunho would be the king.
