It was an absurd statement. With substantial evidence and, if pressed, prosecution wouldn’t be difficult.
“I’ve just issued a travel ban for Kim Yujun. If he refuses, we’ll send a summons the moment he’s humiliated at the airport.”
“Are you planning to arrest him if he resists?”
“What can’t I do? How much is the damage amount?”
Even for the sake of the unjustly victimized, he intended to show sincerity in the investigation.
“Ah, Ojonghyuk’s investigation is scheduled for 4 pm. They said there’s something to investigate at the Central Prosecutor’s Office first.”
“He should reflect quietly in prison. Just wandering around outside like this.”
Saying that it was comfortable being a newcomer, Jiho clicked his tongue.
Not far from the Central Prosecutor’s Office, in the Special Prosecutor’s Office, Ojonghyuk felt suffocated.
Is the interior of the investigation room always the same?
Coming out of a sealed space without a single window, it was a sigh-inducing experience to enter the same space with a different location.
Moreover, it was embarrassing enough to wear brown prison-like overalls, but when I got off the flashing escort bus, the people’s stares were fierce. How did I end up in this situation?
Clearly, until just before the business trip, I wore all sorts of luxury items and went around hearing the president’s words. But now, I felt like I had become ‘The Prince and the Pauper’ overnight. Ojonghyuk looked back at the guard sitting behind him and sighed.
“Ha, it’s frustrating to go back.”
Right now, Ojonghyuk was in a perfect state of depression.
“Oh, Representative Oh.”
“Why?”
“You need to be especially careful with your words during this investigation.”
The lawyer’s whispered advice made Ojonghyuk recoil.
There was nothing worse that could happen here, so what was there to be careful about? If he received money like that, he barely held back from pouring it out and demanding its worth.
“Ha, don’t ask me twice, just speak straight. It’s annoying.”
“Oh! The condition of the investigators who came during the last search and seizure is completely terrible.”
The lawyer took the hand laid on his bulging belly to his ear. Then, he twirled it around and clicked his tongue.
“Are you kidding?”
“They’re in a terrible state. I’m afraid they might show up again today.”
“That’s why I asked why the special prosecutor called me. I went on a business trip to play games.”
As if being investigated for a violation of the Foreign Exchange Transaction Act wasn’t enough. Everything was exposed at home and at the company. Ojonghyuk felt like he was going crazy.
“Once the golden leash is cut, all these pathetic things start crawling out.”
Ojonghyuk’s misfortune found him the moment he was driven away from Kim Yujun’s shadow. He needed to apologize for any wrongdoing and get out of here as soon as possible. But even Lajin, who was his only hope, turned away, making him feel like his blood was boiling backward.
“Just try to get out. I won’t leave you alone.”
Mumbling to himself while grinding his teeth, Ojonghyuk, at that moment, the door burst open.
The guard who had been sitting behind got up in an instant, and a low voice settled in when he moved.
“Thank you for your hard work. It seems like it will take some time today, so please understand in advance.”
The prosecutor in charge, despite being unlucky, seemed quite composed just by listening to his voice.
But Ojonghyuk clenched his fists and didn’t turn around. It was the order for the person who called to pretend he didn’t know until the caller pretended to know first.
The sound of footsteps approaching steadily. Ojonghyuk sat crookedly, closed his eyes altogether.
“This person is Investigator Kim Jungbeom, who will be conducting the investigation today.”
Whether Ojonghyuk acknowledged the introduction or not, he remained stiff.
“And I am Prosecutor Kang Jiho of the Huh Taesoo Special Prosecutor’s Team.”
Ojonghyuk’s eyes snapped open.
Prosecutor Kang Jiho? The prosecutor investigating the botched fund of Myungjin?
The spine tingled, and a moment of indescribable anxiety swept over. Grasping onto the pounding heart, Ojonghyuk lifted his gaze. Where did the person who was kind to the guard go? He locked eyes with a man with a cold expression.
“What time did you arrive?”
“I arrived at 15:40.”
“Please write down the arrival time on this confirmation form and the current time. We will begin the investigation at 16:00.”
Prosecutor Kang Jiho conducted everything with precision, following all the procedures without a single error.
“…The suspect has the right to refuse a statement.”
“W-wait a moment.”
When Ojonghyuk raised his hand, Prosecutor Kang Jiho’s eyes flickered fiercely.
The phrase “the moment the rice cake is stuck to the pestle” could express what the chill in his spine meant. It was as if meeting a wild beast in the middle of the night, and his veins relaxed. Ojonghyuk unknowingly swallowed dry saliva and trembled in his voice.
“I-I am… I am under investigation for a violation of the Foreign Exchange Transaction Act.”
“I am aware.”
“But, why, why… the special prosecutor, who has no relevance… called me, I do, don’t understand.”
Ojonghyuk stammered that he seemed to have called the wrong person. No, even that didn’t come out properly. The international crime investigation prosecutors who conducted the previous investigation were all like angels compared to Prosecutor Kang Jiho.
‘What’s with those eyes? Why are they so scary? I might go crazy. Really.’
Prosecutor Kang Jiho, who had been staring for a long time, chuckled. His cold gaze remained the same, but the man, who slightly lifted one corner of his mouth, made Ojonghyuk scream inwardly.
“Why do you think the suspect is unrelated to the special prosecutor?”
“I, I got involved in that difficult fund… H-how should I say it.”
“Is that true?”
“W-well, yes. What right does someone who only knows celebrities have to interfere there?”
In today’s world, where can you catch a living person to sue? But the shrunken Ojonghyuk only mumbled.
“Considering this, can you understand why you were called?”
Prosecutor Kang Jiho took out a plastic bag with a familiar USB inside from the confiscated items envelope.
‘Why is that here!’
Male lead Asks for a Divorce Every Day
It’s not often you come across a plot like this in the female-dominant genre — make sure to check it out!
This is a novel I’m planning to reread as well.
The male lead is strong, skilled in martial arts, and not the usual fragile type you often see in matriarchal novels.
Meanwhile, the female lead is a scientist—rational and logical. Even when she falls for the male lead, she doesn’t let her emotions cloud her decisions.
If you push through the first few chapters, you’ll gradually find the story really intriguing.
It has a mix of mystery, detective elements, and romance.
The author’s writing style is like crafting a puzzle—except they deliberately leave out a few pieces, making it hard to predict what happens next, yet keeping you hooked.
In the end, everything will come together and be explained.
One-sentence summary: Wife, stop playing with beakers and look at me!
In a laboratory accident, research scientist Zhu Wansheng accidentally travels to a matriarchal world. The original owner of the body is an eighteen-year-old only daughter of a wealthy rouge merchant, already married with a handsome young man.
Zhu Wansheng grins: Nice! She always said she was heaven’s favorite granddaughter. After a life of toil in her previous life, she can enjoy blessings in this one.
However, her joy lasts no more than three seconds as bad news arrives: the original owner’s family is about to go bankrupt, and her husband wants a divorce.
Even worse, she’s stuck with a research system full of restrictions.
Zhu Wansheng: ? Is this the destiny of a research dog?
——
Faced with this mess, Zhu Wansheng pours herself a bowl of wine to drown her sorrows. In her drunken haze, her husband arrives.
His figure is imposing, holding a long sword, with a dignified air that captivates Zhu Wansheng.
Gu Yingqing, however, looks at the alcohol-reeking Zhu Wansheng with undisguised disgust and coldly asks, “Divorce or not?” The intoxicated Zhu Wansheng mumbles vaguely, “I think… it’s not… it’s not… impossible!”
——
The next day, after sobering up, Zhu Wansheng is full of energy, rolling up her sleeves ready to make a big move. As for yesterday? She has no memory of it.
Zhu Wansheng is ambitious; a research dog fears nothing!
Upgrading rouge, extracting fragrances, producing perfumes, researching lipsticks… all shall bow to the power of modern technology!
The original owner’s dying rouge shop is revitalized. Her mother is pleased and with a wave of her hand, passes on the family business to her. As she takes control and her experimental results gain popularity, it’s the pinnacle of her life…
——
But there are always those who can’t stand to see her doing well. Jealousy, scheming, assassination attempts – they want nothing less than her life.
The person who has always kept his distance from her suddenly holds her tightly in his arms, eyes full of concern.
She is unharmed, but he falls into a pool of blood…
Zhu Wansheng feels guilty, “I can grant you one wish.”
Gu Yingqing tentatively circles his arms around her, carefully resting his head in the crook of her neck, pleading softly, “I regret it. Can we not divorce?”
Zhu Wansheng: ? When did I agree to a divorce?
[Small Theater]
The newly developed rouge is beautifully packaged, and Zhu Wansheng is eager to try it.
Gu Yingqing suddenly appears: “My lady, may I apply it for you?”
Cool fingertips lightly brush her lips. His Adam’s apple bobs as he leans in for a light bite.
Zhu Wansheng: ?
Gu Yingqing: It smells so good, I wanted to taste it…
On a warm spring day, Zhu Wansheng tries a new perfume: “Spring Night.” Gu Yingqing corners her against a wall.
Warm breath lingers on her neck.
“My lady, from now on, may I test the fragrances for you?”
