“Funds from Taesung Future Strategy Office were used significantly for the personal gain of the defendants Geum Moran, Na Song-woon, and Na Song-rim. Evidence suggests they manipulated judging at the National Art Competition and High School Athletics Championship, and it was used for fraudulent admissions. Although Na Song-rim and Na Song-woon are in different fields, they used the same tactics to create achievements and admission routes.”
“No one has testified that they received bribes from the defendants. It’s an unreasonable claim from the prosecutor’s side.”
The defense lawyer confidently rebutted the prosecution’s claims.
“Defendants, you will be given a chance to present your case. Do it at that time. Prosecutor, continue.”
The defense lawyer representing Geum Moran once again interrupted the flow. It wasn’t because they didn’t understand the rules of the trial. Hence, Line’s frustration bubbled up even more.
The defense’s claim was that there was no proof of providing or receiving bribes. Line had already anticipated that they would never admit it.
“Even if the specific details of an illicit request are not specified, if a reciprocal relationship between the benefits provided to a public official or arbitrator and a third party is sufficiently identified, it is enough, as established by a precedent of the Supreme Court.”
Line displayed a captured text message content on the screen.
“A group chat from Na Song-woon’s high school days.”
‘Why bother with internships. Mom will buy everything for you.’, ‘I bet Mom will handle the thesis.’, ‘If you win first place in this competition, it’s a free pass to university, and your skills are excellent. If you guys take care of 2nd and 3rd place.’

Even after looking at it again and again, it contained astonishing content. Line then displayed a document on the screen, converting the contents of what Na Song-woon had testified into text.
“Defendant Na Song-woon has stated that this content is true and that his mother, Geum Moran, exercised coercion.”
Na Song-woon bowed deeply with a feeling of apology towards Geum Moran. Geum Moran calmly managed her expression, making an effort to appear composed.
“Defense, present your case.”
The lawyer representing Chairman Na and Na Song-woon admitted to all the facts. However, it was not the same for the lawyer representing Geum Moran.
“Our country has a highly developed use of figurative expressions. Everyone knows that saying you want to kill someone doesn’t necessarily mean expressing an intention to commit murder. Can anyone say they’ve never talked about such things at a young age?”
Line and Joo-hyuk paused in writing down the defense’s argument. The defense attorney was as verbose as rumored.
Line planned to add murder charges against Geum Moran in the upcoming trial, and he was genuinely curious about how she would refute the accusations.
“Even if you say so, no one can conclusively connect it to an actual crime. I deny all charges.”
The defense lawyer was determined to deny all charges, no matter what evidence emerged.
After a fierce nine-hour battle, the first trial came to an end.

Line felt as if the time had passed in a distant blur. Weakened, he couldn’t rise from the prosecutor’s seat.
While sitting, Line turned on his phone, checked the missed call left by the firefighter, and quickly made a call again.
“Yes, Captain. It’s Prosecutor Jin Line. I couldn’t answer the phone because I was in court.”
Prosecutor… It’s not that… In the accident earlier, there was a fatality…
Line’s head spun at the pause. “Yes, it’s okay, please tell me.”
In the recent accident… there was a fatality…
Line didn’t hear what came after that. The phone slipped from Line’s hand. Joo-hyuk guessed that something serious had happened from Line’s expression.
“Line…”
Line didn’t hear any sounds. He stood up, leaving the courtroom, discarding the judicial robe he wore. He ran towards it. At this moment, nothing was more important to Line than Song Kang.
