“You might sound a bit harsh to a prosecutor who has lived through life and death, but let’s put expectations on you once again. I hope you can wrap up the Taesung case.”
Line’s pupils moved slightly up and down.
“I have one thing I’m curious about. Chief Prosecutor, do you have a specific reason for being curious about the truth of this case?”
“Don’t you know? The reason I became a prosecutor.”
There were rumors that Chief Prosecutor, who led investigations into chaebol corruption, couldn’t stand the sight of privileged power rising. It was a warning that those who tried to dominate even the lofty law with money and power couldn’t be allowed to live well.
Of course, Line knew his inclination. It was also because of his tendency that she guessed he might be someone with a similar background.
On one hand, Line also had complaints. If you dislike privilege so much, pull out the sword yourself; why burden her with such a heavy load? It was also resented why he was giving her such a heavy burden.
“Chief Prosecutor, you’re being too harsh on a junior who came back with difficulty.”
“After overcoming the brink of death, how much venom do you think is built up?”
Chief Prosecutor, looking at Line’s eyes that had become even clearer than before, chuckled ironically.
“I’m too bored with greetings now. A new wind like Prosecutor Jin Line needs to blow for the water in this organization not to stagnate and rot.”
“Hearing that, it feels even more burdensome.”
Chief Prosecutor put down the teacup and looked at Line with a serious expression.
“I feel sorry enough, and I appreciate it. It’s shameless, but I’ll ask once more.”
Without making eye contact with Chief Prosecutor, Line thought for a moment.
“Yes, I will.”
When Line gave a more refreshing answer than expected, Chief Prosecutor paused even after hearing the answer he wanted. The rumor of being a wicked person was heard, but he wondered if it was really a matter of life and death.
“Instead, I will conduct a cognitive investigation.”
Chief Prosecutor tilted his head. He wondered how to direct the investigation.
“Revoke the appeal of the Na Song-kang director case, and entrust the entire Taesung Gate case to me. Then I’ll do it.”
A smile disappeared from Chief Prosecutor’s face. Naming it Taesung Gate meant that he didn’t intend to lay the groundwork.
“Are you proposing a deal?”
Line looked straight at Chief Prosecutor, expressing her determination.
“Yes, let’s do that.”
Chief Prosecutor extended his hand for a handshake. It was a hand that was not easy to grasp. It was not a free handshake.
Line headed straight to her office.
Although it had been a long time since she returned, nothing had changed. Line stopped walking when she saw the legal robes hanging on her place’s hanger. She reached out with trembling hands and placed her hand on the hem of the legal robe.
“Line, thank you for your hard work.”
Ju-hyuk, who had returned after the trial, stood behind Line.
“Did the senior prepare the legal robes?”
Ju-hyuk nodded.
“Now, everything is back in place.”
Line looked at the legal robes again and nodded her head. In fact, it wasn’t really back to where it was before, but she nodded her head, hoping that everything would come back.
May this pierced heart be able to return to the time before meeting him someday…
“Chief Prosecutor has assigned a difficult case.”
“That’s right. I might have been caught, but what crime does the senior commit every time?”
“Maybe I was caught too.”
Line smiled weakly and looked up at Ju-hyuk. He frowned deeply at Line’s face.
“Even now, when your body is not recovered, why did you give me such a big case again? I can’t do it.”
“I already said I’ll do it.”
Ju-hyuk was worried that if the Taesung case was related, the situation where Na Song-kang and Line would inevitably face each other.
At that moment, the unpleasant sound of heels approached the office.
“Hey! Jin Line!”
It was Yoon Nan-seul.
As soon as she entered the office, she threw an appeal revocation notice at Line’s face. Ju-hyuk, who was more surprised than Line, looked at Prosecutor Yoon Nan-seul with intensity.
“What the hell are you doing, Jin Line!”
He scolded instead of Line. Line stepped forward to face Yoon Nan-seul.
“Jin Line, do you have a talent for being shameless? Who the hell are you to revoke my appeal!”
Sharp-minded Ju-hyuk quickly understood the situation after hearing Prosecutor Yoon Nan-seul’s words. He realized what kind of situation it was when Line was about to speak, so he intervened.
“Yoon Nan-seul, I revoked that case, why are you venting your anger on Prosecutor Jin!”
“What are you talking about?”
“That case is yours, but it’s also my case. You know we shouldn’t bring that case up.”
Nan-seul glared at Ju-hyuk with eyes full of resentment. Line had something to say to Prosecutor Yoon Nan-seul, so she stepped forward in front of Ju-hyuk.
“Yoon Nan-seul, did you put pressure on the trial court in that case?”
“What…?”
Yoon Nan-seul’s voice trembled at Line’s words.
“Even if you did that and it didn’t work, you should stop now. My father can’t come to the trial.”
Yoon Nan-seul clenched her fist tightly and trembled.
“As you always say, you have a lot. In other words, it also means you have a lot to lose. Before I find out what you have so much, stop it.”
“What power do you have to do this to me?”
“I may not have power, but I have more skills than you. Do you have the confidence to compete with me head-on?”
Nan-seul glared at Line with bloodshot eyes and then turned and left.
Ju-hyuk quickly checked Line’s condition.
“Line, are you okay? Don’t worry about it.”
“Yes, I’m not worried.”
Although it was a bit disappointing to hear it this way, Line was still relieved that the case of Director Na Song-kang was revoked.
Line’s gaze drifted to the paper on the floor. It was an inexplicable thing why he came to mind with this small piece of paper.
The more she tried to push in the longing that popped up everywhere, the more her heart sank deeper.
Line opened her eyes wide and sat down. And more meticulously than ever, she began to draft an indictment.
Starting with the indictment, a time bomb was thrown into Taesung.
Hae-in went in to report to Song-kang, but when she saw his face, which was already injured, she felt sorry for him.
She was already living obsessed with work, not knowing anything else.
Song-kang brought his hand to his chest, feeling pain around there, and frowned.
“Director…”
“Oh, it’s okay. I’ll finish this and leave. Just sit there and wait.”
Even though he asked her to sit and wait, Hae-in couldn’t do that. The report she brought in was urgent.
Song-kang, who looked anxious, stopped what he was doing and turned his gaze to her.
“What’s the matter?”
It was urgent, so she couldn’t sit and wait, but Hae-in couldn’t easily speak out the contents of the report.
“Lawyer Cha Hae-in.”
Song-kang called him as if telling him not to delay any longer.
“All Taesung officials have been indicted in relation to allegations of bribery to high-ranking officials. It seems that a large-scale investigation will begin, more than the previous case involving the former director, under the so-called Taesung Gate incident.”
He reached out as if eager to quickly see the report that Hae-in brought in. Although Hae-in couldn’t even sigh, she handed him the report with a embarrassed heart.
The essence of the prosecution’s indictment made Song-kang tense.
It was the writing style of Prosecutor Jin La-in, sharp as a knife.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
