Ryan handed over the materials she had brought. It was a threat that they knew all the crimes they had committed. Up to this point, there were people who, due to the problems caused by their past crimes, might never see the light of society again.
Amidst Ryan’s debate with the driver responsible for the fatal accident, other culprits hesitated. Even without Ryan intervening anymore, they fought among themselves, tearing each other apart. Ryan had no reason to stop that fight.
“So. If you surrender as it is, everything can be okay for everyone, but because you didn’t, everyone becomes unhappy. There’s nothing we can do. If you’ve said enough to confess, can we conclude?”
The culprits couldn’t easily answer. They all had a lot to say, but the expression on their faces indicated that they couldn’t do anything about it.
Ryan closed the laptop.
“Then, let’s conclude here…”
“Wait!”
The culprit who caused the death grabbed Ryan desperately. However, Ryan stood up from her seat as if ignoring him.
“Yes. I told you to detain the prosecutor!”
Ryan stood there and listened to the culprit’s story. She was ready to leave at any moment if things went wrong.
Having waited outside the prosecutor’s office for a long time, I received a call from Director Lee Nasong and went to support him first. In the meantime, the prosecutor moved. So, it seemed like we could resolve everything in one go. Thinking that, I moved around in a hurry and then… I realized I had misjudged the person. Still, I didn’t receive more money just because I held the steering wheel! We all received the same amount!
Ryan barely suppressed the urge to tremble. Clenching her fist, she grabbed the collar, her vision becoming distant due to extreme anger. She wanted to overturn everything here, but she hadn’t heard a decisive answer yet.
“So, did you voluntarily commit this crime?”
“No. That’s impossible. I have no connection with the prosecutor, and I’ve only seen this person Lee Nasong in the news.”
“Then, whose orders did you follow?”
The culprit pointed to Kim Moran’s closest secretary.
“But why is the prosecutor investigating us?”
It wasn’t a delusion for the culprits to think they had the right to choose a prosecutor. Ryan, suspicious of what the culprit was saying, got a big hint.
During the investigation, was there someone guiding the direction of the investigation favorably?
Ryan finished the interrogation and headed to the chief prosecutor’s office. Although the chief prosecutor refused an interview, Ryan confirmed he was inside and pushed her way in without thinking.
“I told you not to come in!”
“I came because I was curious.”
“I have nothing to say. Get out.”
Suspicions that had been tolerated so far… Today, they had to be resolved. Ryan stood upright in that spot, glaring at the chief prosecutor.
“Get out!”
The banging sound echoed beyond the office, but the more that happened, the tighter Ryan clenched her fist.
“Were you so afraid of getting close to the truth of the Taesung case?”
Ryan asked without hesitation. The chief prosecutor, raising the desk with both hands, stood up from his seat.
“What?”
“Or were you afraid I might ruin your big picture, Chief Prosecutor?”
The chief prosecutor, as if about to strangle her at any moment, approached Ryan. However, despite his imposing presence, Ryan confronted the chief prosecutor without yielding.
“So, did you drag me out of the prosecutor’s office and even threaten my life because of that fear?”
“Shut up.”
“Did you collude with Kim Moran? Isn’t leaking the investigation records also your doing, Chief Prosecutor?”
The chief prosecutor, unable to strangle Ryan outright, grabbed her collar.
“For real!”
At that moment, the door to the chief prosecutor’s office opened wide. Juhyuk pushed the chief prosecutor aside and hid Ryan behind him.
“What are you doing right now!”
“Now these two are causing chaos together? You…! Can you take responsibility for what you’re saying?”
While shouting, the chief prosecutor confronted Ryan. Ryan, pointing at herself, extended her head toward Juhyuk.
“Can you take responsibility, Chief Prosecutor?”
Looking at Ryan, who remained silent, the chief prosecutor grabbed the back of her neck, and just before collapsing, he shouted.
“Chief Prosecutor, please calm down and let’s talk again.”
Juhyuk stepped forward to calm the situation.
“Submit your phone as evidence.”
“What? Ha… evidence?”
The chief prosecutor laughed as if amused, placing both hands on his waist.
“If you’re innocent, there’s no reason not to submit it, right?”
Ryan looked at the phone on the chief prosecutor’s desk.
“Bring a warrant. But, who will approve that warrant?”
The chief prosecutor, clenching his fist, looked at Ryan as if she were insignificant. Ryan was well aware that to obtain a warrant, she had no choice but to get the chief prosecutor’s approval.
If the evidence, which wouldn’t be legally acquired anyway, could be taken by force, it was an attempt to peek into the opponent’s strategy.
Ryan moved toward where the phone was. The chief prosecutor’s gaze followed Ryan’s every move. Juhyuk was also tense about what action Ryan might take.
Looking at the chief prosecutor’s phone, Ryan had countless thoughts. It could be a completely empty phone. It could have been meticulously wiped of all information.
“Jin Ryan, just lay a finger on my phone.”
“If you’re innocent, what reason is there not to disclose it?”
“The moment you touch that phone, you’re crossing a river that can’t be crossed back.”
Whether the chief prosecutor was raging to prevent Ryan from touching his phone out of pride, or there was really something inside that made him act this way, it had to be seen by opening it.
“Do you not understand the reason for my visit? It could also involve going to Director Ji. However, I’m giving you, Chief Prosecutor, a last chance as a prosecutor.”
“A chance? What’s the point, giving me a chance!”
In the intense struggle between Ryan and the chief prosecutor, Ryan unfastened her prosecutor’s badge, placed it next to the chief prosecutor’s phone, and stared directly at him.
“If harm comes to an innocent person due to my investigation, I’ll resign. It’s a demonstration of determination that I won’t retreat even if I die. Moreover, anyone who knows what being a prosecutor means would understand, so even a ruthless chief prosecutor like him couldn’t help but hesitate.”
“If it’s not there, will you give up your seat? You can either raise your worth and join a major law firm or open a law firm. But what about me? What about my lost honor? I’ll become the person who will be Director! Prosecutor General! Chief Prosecutor!”
“I won’t set foot in the legal profession again. I won’t open a law firm to make a living from the law. Then, will you give me the phone?”
Ryan risked everything and showed clear determination. In response, the chief prosecutor rolled his eyes left and right, then nodded.
“Fine, take it. But if nothing comes out, be prepared. A generous day should be enough, right?”
Despite the chief prosecutor’s seemingly relaxed posture change, Ryan felt uneasy but picked up his phone and left the chief prosecutor’s office.
With no time to spare, she immediately started the mobile forensic work. Who knows if someone has investigated it before?
Not leaving anything sloppy, she had implemented several layers of security. Moreover, there was no way the contact information for Geum Moran and related individuals would be stored as is.
As time was running out, both Ryan and Juhyuk began to feel anxious.
“Ha… What’s not there?”
Now, time was almost up. Ryan, frantically trying to check anything she could, couldn’t even hear Juhyuk’s words.
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…?
