“Don’t worry too much about this incident. Even if I have to hire more lawyers or a law firm, I’ll block it until the end.”
Gold Moran was dancing inside, but she didn’t show any signs of it externally.
After Chairman Na’s summons schedule was set, the busiest person became none other than Cha Hae-in, the defense attorney. Coordination with the prosecution was necessary regarding the need for a guardian’s presence in Chairman Na’s schedule.
Under the pretext of Chairman Na’s health issues, Hae-in gathered information, including Song Kang’s health care-related licenses, and created conditions for him to be present in the monitoring room, if not in the recording room.
And one more thing, to minimize Chairman Na’s media exposure, various aspects, including the investigation time slot, were taken into consideration.
Chairman Na’s summons were a burden for both the prosecution and Taesung, but more than anyone, it was a burden for La-in and Joo-hyuk, the two prosecutors.
La-in was as sharp as a blade, meticulously preparing for Chairman Na’s summons.
In addition, the materials pouring out from Taesung Law Firm… Materials equivalent to the case of Director Na Song-kang or even more had arrived.
Let’s meet for dinner tonight.
Sorry. I have an all-night work tonight.
La-in had no time to spare, not even to answer the calls coming from Song-kang, and could barely reply to the incoming messages.
Let’s see each other for dinner tonight.
It seems difficult for a while. I don’t have time to go home, so I’m staying in the office. I’m sorry.
However, even if it was only a few days…
She knew that his anger would reach the tip of his head. But the situation was a mountain of problems.
Above all, she didn’t have the confidence not to waver when she saw Song-kang. So, until Chairman Na’s summons were over, she decided not to see him.
Finally, the day arrived.
Thanks to Song-kang’s dedicated marking, Chairman Na could enter the prosecutor’s office without much media exposure.
Even though she tried to minimize manpower to avoid looking conspicuous, with the addition of agents and the defense team, there seemed to be at least twenty people.
Song-kang and Hae-in, who were waiting for Chairman Na, hurriedly headed toward him when Chairman Na revealed himself.
However, Chairman Na didn’t welcome Song-kang. Chairman Na, with a stern expression, headed to the statement recording room. Song-kang quietly followed him.
In front of the statement recording room, Prosecutor Joo came down to greet them.
“Oh, Chairman, how are you? I’m really sorry that you had to come all the way here.”
Chairman Na looked at the prosecutor’s kindness uncomfortably. Then, the head of the legal department introduced the prosecutor separately.
“He’s Prosecutor Joo, a friend I took good care of during my prosecutor days. He’ll become a chief prosecutor soon.”
Chairman Na nodded several times and took his seat following the guidance.
The head of the legal department had a private conversation with Prosecutor Joo in front of the statement recording room.
“I’ve called the two prosecutors many times and begged them. They must listen to me. I’ll really go crazy.”
The head of the legal department, with a worried expression, looked at the watch as Prosecutor Joo spoke harshly.
“Rather than coming in early to greet us, are you asking us to wait, or…”
“I’m sorry.”
Prosecutor Joo seemed to make a face without dignity. The head of the legal department, with an uncomfortable expression, went into the statement recording room.
Song-kang found the conversation between the two uncomfortable.
At that moment, Prosecutor Choi Joo-hyuk and the investigators appeared first.
“Oh, they might start soon. Prosecutor Choi, greetings. He’s our senior. Have you seen him before?”
“Oh, yes.”
Prosecutor Choi Joo-hyuk didn’t bother to greet the head of the legal department.
“Why is Jin still not here? We’re already 5 minutes late! Why bother making promises if it’s going to be like this!”
The head prosecutor, as if trying to make a call, took out his phone. At that moment, Joo-hyuk took out his phone from his pocket.
“He’ll be here soon. Also, Prosecutor Jin, I have his phone.”
Why Prosecutor La-in’s phone was in Prosecutor Choi Joo-hyuk’s hands… Song-kang became highly sensitive. Whether Prosecutor Choi Joo-hyuk felt Song-kang’s sharp gaze, he turned his eyes toward him.
Between the two, there was a tense and fierce atmosphere.
La-in, wearing her prosecutor’s badge, rushed nervously towards the statement recording room. Without greeting the head prosecutor, who entered first, La-in received a comment directed at her back.
“Ha, Jin La-in won’t even greet anymore? If Prosecutor Jin goes on a rampage, even Prosecutor Choi should take responsibility and stop him. Huh? Why is there no answer!”
Song-kang wanted to correct the head prosecutor’s way of speaking. Where was he pointing this and that…?
“Chief, didn’t you say it’s okay to be late?”
“Oh my! Chairman Na is waiting, so let’s start quickly and finish it.”
Finally, the head prosecutor left his seat. Among the remaining people, a fierce atmosphere flowed. An invisible spark flew between Song-kang and Joo-hyuk.
“Oh, hello, senior.”
Hae-in politely greeted Joo-hyuk. Joo-hyuk nodded and received Hae-in’s greeting.
Song-kang and Hae-in were already standing in front of the glass door where the inside of the statement recording room could be seen, and Joo-hyuk went to stand next to them. When the prosecutor’s office employee activated the equipment, the formal investigation began.
La-in, who entered without greeting anyone, was unaware that Song-kang and Hae-in were standing outside. Of course, even if she knew, it wouldn’t change the direction of the investigation.
“If you have any chronic conditions, like high blood pressure, please take your medicine before we start.”
La-in spoke to Chairman Na without offering a greeting. Afterward, she immediately went through the process of verifying her identity.
The defense team accompanying her was shocked by her attitude. The head of the legal department, despite experiencing it several times before, was surprised again this time.
Among them, Chairman Na was the most uncomfortable. It was the first time he had received such treatment in all his years of living. Chairman Na stared hard at La-in.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
