The issue was the signature ‘NaSong[dash]’ that came up during the investigation into Taeseong’s bribery allegations, and there was testimony that it belonged to Na Songgang, the control tower of Taeseong Group.
Afterward, the witness disappeared without a trace.
Taeseong Group’s legal office, filled with the country’s top legal talents, had held several strategy meetings with Songgang, and the legal affairs director reassured him it was nothing serious.
The amount of evidence prepared for rebuttal was enormous.
Yet, despite the seemingly perfect response, Songgang felt uneasy.
Above all, he did not trust them.
For some reason, the articles about this case were also directed differently from the usual editorials about him.
He had a hunch about who might be behind this situation, but he couldn’t bring it up right away.
It was just a feeling, after all.
Songgang, gathering his complicated thoughts, looked at her with cold eyes.
At first glance, she seemed frail with a pale face and gentle eyes, not looking aggressive at all.
But her piercing gaze was not like that.
It was like a thorn stuck in his throat, irritating him.
“We’re just following protocol.”
Director Na Songgang of Taeseong Group wasn’t unknown to her.
Lain was simply following procedure.
They were uncomfortable applying these obvious procedures to Songgang…
She was known in the Central District Prosecutors’ Office for not compromising.
She never followed the chief prosecutor’s orders or senior colleagues’ advice if it went against justice.
The attorney general also knew about Prosecutor Jin Lain and had been watching her for a long time.
That’s why she was chosen to handle this Taeseong Group case.
It wasn’t that no other prosecutor wanted the case.
Her colleague and rival, Prosecutor Yoon Nansul, who had a father as the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court, wanted to take on the case, even if it meant influencing a chief prosecutor, but had to step down because of the attorney general’s decision.
Only Prosecutor Choi Juhyuk wanted to investigate with Jin Lain, and they were both fully committed to it.
The legal affairs director had been concerned about the attorney general’s flexibility known for a long time, but he was greatly relieved when he heard a green prosecutor was handling the case.
He interpreted it as a lack of investigative will from the prosecution.
But his expectations were completely off.
Only after coming in for the summons and facing Prosecutor Jin Lain did he belatedly anticipate the rough waters ahead.
It was a situation that left a deep scar on his pride as a Central District Prosecutors’ Office alumnus.
Despite the tension, the response from Taeseong’s legal team lacked sincerity.
They stuck to their initial plan and defended every question with the right to remain silent.
This approach provoked Prosecutor Jin Lain. As the investigation stretched beyond six hours, the legal affairs director visibly wore out.
“Haven’t we done enough? Let’s stop here.”
The legal affairs director expressed his discontent at the end of the silence.
But she had no intention of stopping there.
“Why should the attorney decide that?”
Unfazed and flipping through her files, Lain’s steadfastness nearly pushed the legal affairs director over the edge.
“Mr. Na Songgang, you’re incredibly patient. Aren’t you feeling wronged?”
Her words, as if she knew something, were a pointed question.
Lain wanted to provoke him to speak.
The more she looked into the case, the more it seemed he was unjustly accused.
But he, calculated and cautious, remained silent.
Rather than answering hastily, he was comparing her questions to what he had been briefed by the legal team.
“There is a principle of presumption of innocence.”
As Lain continued, the legal affairs director snorted.
Songgang listened carefully to her words.
Her speech had an unintentional power to captivate.
Her unaffected, sharp tone and bright, spirited eyes continued to draw his trust.
He cautiously speculated that Prosecutor Jin Lain’s investigative skills would play a significant role in uncovering the truth of this case.
She tossed the file she was holding onto the table.
Songgang felt a slight heat from her attitude but accepted it as a necessary discomfort.
“But all evidence submitted by Taeseong points to Director Na Songgang, and even after such a long time today, there’s been no defense.”
At Prosecutor Jin Lain’s words, the legal affairs director’s expression began to harden.
“I’ll ask the attorney.”
She stared directly at the legal affairs director.
“Why aren’t you defending the defendant?”
The question hit Songgang like an arrow.
His usually unshakable expression trembled subtly.
The legal affairs director, greatly flustered, glanced at Songgang for cues.
“Prosecutor Jin Lain, what kind of question is that? Our director might misunderstand.”
Blaming the question instead of making an excuse, what a reprehensible attorney.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
