“If it were that kind of favor, she would have asked me.”
Line just drank her beer in response.
Ju-hyuk could only gauge Line’s mood. Given her current state, it seemed best to let the conversation rest for now.
Meanwhile, Song Kang pursued other leads to understand the situation that Line found herself in. It seemed, as he had suspected, that it was related to his case. He sat at his desk, looking out the window, lost in thought.
Then, a knock sounded, and his secretary entered.
“Mr. Song Kang, Lawyer Cha Haein is here.”
“Please, show her in.”
As Haein approached with a heavy and cautious demeanor, Song Kang turned to face her.
Knowing that he had been eagerly awaiting her, Haein feared reporting the lack of progress.
“Mr. Song Kang, about that…”
Seeing her hesitation, Song Kang guessed the content of her report.
“It’s okay. I’ve been reminded again how closed off the prosecution is. But one thing was clear: Prosecutor Jin Line suffered because she diligently investigated my case.”
Song Kang knew that the Legal Affairs Director had a significant influence, and also the role of Geum Moran, who was firmly backing him.
Even as he spoke, he felt a heavy heart. He had always sensed Line’s pride in her role as a prosecutor.
But now, dismissed dishonorably, he was deeply worried about how she was coping.
“Has she changed her phone or just gotten rid of it? There’s no way to contact her. If you find out how she’s doing, please let me know.”
“Yes, Mr. Song Kang. Actually… I did ask Prosecutor Ju-hyuk for help. But it seems difficult to make contact.”
“Was Prosecutor Jin Line ever easy?”
He was worried she might have rushed into a dead end after such a humiliating incident.
Then, his phone vibrated with a message. Song Kang picked it up and checked. If he was immediately looking at a message, it must be significant news.
It was Jin Line’s contact information. He forwarded it to Haein.
“Here’s Prosecutor Jin Line’s contact. She changed her number after being dismissed.”
Haein checked her phone.
“First, we need to make contact, but please arrange a meeting.”
“Yes…”
Haein was doubtful of her ability to persuade Jin Line to meet.
“But Mr. Song Kang…”
He nodded for her to continue.
“Do we still need Prosecutor Jin Line?”
Haein needed to know before starting a challenging task. She didn’t want to proceed without being convinced of its necessity.
“Isn’t it you, Lawyer Cha Haein, who needs Prosecutor Jin Line the most?”
Haein understood his meaning. Jin Line was still the person who understood the case best.
The plan was to enlist her as an ally in the case, and in return, assist her with her life.
Convincing her wouldn’t be easy, but it was natural for the thirsty to dig a well.
Haein sat in her car, unable to make the call in the office. Taking a deep breath, she dialed Line’s number given by Song Kang.
The ringing seemed longer than usual…
With each ‘beep’, her anxiety grew. She hoped for an answer, but it went to voicemail.
Calling repeatedly would be overstepping. She decided on five attempts.
As expected, Line didn’t answer. Haein left a message, pouring more thought into it than any legal document she had ever written.
“Hello Prosecutor Jin Line? This is Lawyer Cha Haein from Taesung Legal Affairs Office.” She began, explaining honestly and in detail why she urgently needed to meet Line.
After pressing send, Haein realized she was trembling like a leaf in the wind. Acknowledging the reality, she let out a hollow laugh at the absurdity of it all.
“This senior, always so impressive, then and now…”
Just then, Haein’s phone rang. He instantly recognized the incoming call as Line’s number and was startled.
