Line was unable to control her angry feelings and felt confused.
“Um, Prosecutor… calm down.”
Both Line and Hae-in were bewildered.
“On what grounds! Are you trying to make an extreme choice?”
Already lost in emotion, Line fiercely confronted Chairman Na.
“The person who can provide key testimony in this case cannot be allowed to make an extreme choice. The investigation ends here today. We will request an arrest warrant and proceed with the arrest, so please leave.”
It wasn’t just for that reason. Line had a significant trauma she couldn’t speak about. Line wanted to escape from this situation hastily.
As she took a step, Hae-in approached Line, looking puzzled.
“Um… Prosecutor…!”
Hae-in didn’t know what to do. Line, in a panic, swayed on the spot, nearly losing her balance. When Hae-in tried to hold her, Line gestured to stop him.
“Enough. Go away.”
“Chairman’s current health condition is not good at all. Yet, he expressed his intention to cooperate with the investigation sincerely. Arresting him…”
Even though Hae-in explained in detail, Line couldn’t hear any sound. At that moment, the door opened, and Ju-hyuk entered.
“Defense attorney, step aside.”
At Ju-hyuk’s words, Hae-in had no choice but to step aside, and Line fled from there like she was running away. Ju-hyuk placed his hand on Hae-in’s shoulder, saying several things. He hurriedly followed Line.
Line sat down as if possessed by something, and she had actually prepared to request an arrest warrant.
“Line, are you okay?”
Ju-hyuk looked at Line’s desktop monitor and was surprised.
“Line… What are you doing now? Jinline! Snap out of it!”
Ju-hyuk swiftly turned the chair Line was sitting on toward himself. Line had a very serious expression.
“Why are you doing this right now? Why?”
Ju-hyuk’s question wasn’t out of ignorance.
“If we put him under arrest, there will always be watching eyes. It can’t be done that way.”
“Ha… Line.”
“Senior, Chairman tried to die. Because of me!”
“How is it because of you!”
Ju-hyuk, frustrated by Line’s words, spoke sharply. He was upset.
“At that time, and even now…”
In Line’s early career, there was an incident. A suspect being investigated by Line made an extreme choice.
There was a rumor that the suspect couldn’t endure the oppressive investigation and took their own life, but that was not the truth.
It was a planned act by the real culprit who feared that the truth of the case would be revealed through Line’s investigation. Despite that, Line completed the investigation.
Because of that incident, Line gained a notorious reputation as a prosecutor without pity or tears. Regardless of the truth, whenever Line recalled that incident, it was an immense wound, making it hard to breathe.
“Line, how many times do I have to tell you? It’s not because of you. Chairman Na, too, was it because of the investigation? You saw Chairman Na’s expression that day. It was nothing. It was just the situation that person was in. It’s not because of you.”
No matter what Ju-hyuk said, Line didn’t show any sign of calming down.
At that moment, a knock was heard, and an employee entered.
“Oh, um… Prosecutor… someone from Taesung’s side wants to see the prosecutor for a moment… they came to see you.”
“Who? Me? Or Jin-geom?”
“Prosecutor Jin Line.”
“Who’s that?”
“Oh, it’s Mr. Na’s son, Na Song-gang. He says he has something to inquire about related to today’s investigation.”
“Send them away.”
Ju-hyuk firmly stated, and the employee looked awkward. It was because Song-gang and Hae-in were standing right behind.
At that moment, Song-gang came forward to the employee and stood.
“Then, should we take Prosecutor Jin Line out?”
At his words, Line lifted her head. Ju-hyuk looked over, with a determined expression. Hae-in, as if feeling ashamed, couldn’t meet eyes with Ju-hyuk.
“We came because we find some parts of the prosecutor’s attitude in today’s investigation incomprehensible. Would it be appropriate to officially complain?”
Song-gang displayed composure. It was true that Line showed an emotional attitude. Ju-hyuk couldn’t respond strongly, fearing that the situation involving Line might escalate.
Ju-hyuk stepped aside, leaving only Line and Song-gang. Line didn’t even have the heart to greet him when he entered her office. When she sat there like a stone statue, Song-gang approached first.
The fact that Song-gang, who wouldn’t cross the line, came to Line’s office meant that his heart was heavy.
Line couldn’t precisely understand why she was acting this way, but due to the roughly heard stories from Hae-in, she couldn’t just turn away. Song-gang carefully examined her pale face.
“Are you okay?”
Line didn’t respond with a vacant expression. He bent one knee, sitting lower than her eye level, and looked closely at her face. Line moved her eyeballs only then.
“Are you okay?”
Line still didn’t respond.
“Huh? I just asked twice, are you not going to answer?”
Line bit her lower lip and lowered her head.
“I’m not okay.”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
