Song Kang quickly soothed Line’s emotions before she could waste her energy on frustration. Line turned her gaze away from Song Kang’s reprimanding eyes and back to the written materials.
“Ha… I guess Senior Juhyeok will try to take control of the situation, but that situation…”
There were many things Line wanted to say about Yoon Nansul, but she held her tongue.
“If you look at the written materials from the prosecution side, it seems that they will just accept the materials provided by Taesung Law Firm as they are. Rather than reports coming from the law firm, it’s better to infer from the prosecution side’s written materials.”
Line casually flipped through the stacked materials beside her. They contained the information that Song Kang had reported to her from the law firm.
“You know that all of this is a lie, right?”
The contents differed from what Line had received at the prosecutor’s office.
“Let’s move on.”
Song Kang cut off his rising emotions and moved on to the next topic.
“Explain your relationships with individuals who are alleged to have received bribes. How will you explain it?”
This question had also been asked by Song Kang when Line was being summoned for questioning.
“The Minister of Culture, Sports, and Tourism was my private tutor during high school.”
Song Kang’s answer was surprisingly simple. Line nodded as if she felt a slight discrepancy from him but accepted it.
If she were from a conglomerate family, it was possible that she had received tutoring in various subjects such as music, art, sports, and even jump rope, and she could have chosen a well-known person in that field as her teacher. It was quite plausible.
“Then answer like that.”
Song Kang meticulously noted down every word that came out of her mouth.
“But… lawfare essentially relies on written documents.”
Line picked up several copies of the written materials submitted by the law firm and shook them. Then she casually put them down.
“The judges will make their judgment based on this. No matter how loudly you argue or make a scene in court, it’s useless.”
Song Kang wore a puzzled expression, not understanding.
“Such actions are often staged in dramas. In reality, people who cause disturbances do exist, but judges really dislike it when someone unnecessarily stands up or speaks for a long time.”
“Weren’t you just saying that the voice of the parties involved is the most important?”
In response to his question, Line lightly tapped the documents from the law firm again.
“This is essentially the voice of the parties involved, isn’t it?”
Having understood Line’s explanation, Song Kang let out a deep sigh and clenched his fist, gazing into space.
“When are you looking at changing players?”
Song Kang asked Line. It also meant that he was not going to grant her the status of his legal representative until the end.
Line knew that such work was necessary, but she couldn’t provide specific suggestions to Song Kang. She looked apologetic.
“Unfortunately, the choice is yours.”
She felt uneasy about apologizing, as it felt like she was adding to the burden on his already heavy shoulders.
Song Kang nodded his head without sorting out his thoughts.
“If you do well in this summons, you might be able to gain a lot.”
“What do you mean…”
Song Kang was curious about Line’s strategy.
“Listen through Prosecutor Yoon Nansul. Find out what was in the written materials submitted by Taesung Law Firm. To do that, you need to actively appeal the content of our previous conversation. If you do that, the justification for changing players will become somewhat clear.”
Song Kang nodded. After hearing this explanation, he felt that his thoughts, which had been complicated, were now organized.
“Don’t worry too much, and go on your way first.”
Song Kang looked at her with gratitude when he heard the warm words from Line’s mouth. She seemed to avoid his gaze after speaking such a flexible expression.
“I’ll pass on the additional materials to Attorney Cha Haein.”
When he returned to the office, Song Kang reviewed the materials Line had given him and the notes he had taken in preparation for the summons.
He felt a sense of responsibility not to become a flaw in Prosecutor Jin Line’s history, who had never lost a case, alongside his determination to defend himself.
On the day of the summons, Song Kang left the company ahead of schedule. Then he went to Line’s office.
Today, for some reason, Line heard the sound of him entering the password. She was looking at the door. However, she didn’t stand up or make any excessive gestures. She looked at her wristwatch and then turned her gaze back to him.
“You’ll have to leave soon, won’t you?”
He nodded, and Line moved to where she was. She got up from her seat, but there were no excessive movements like standing up or long speeches. Line had a hint of frustration on her face. She worried that she might have placed too much burden on him.
She wasn’t in a position to make statements directly from the prosecution, and she was only there to play the role of a voice recorder during the investigation. Rather than go alone, it might be even more lonely for her…
“Did you check the materials I gave you?”
“I didn’t know well enough whether you were an effort type. Of course, I’ve read everything.”
He responded calmly by nodding his head, and Line approached him. It was slightly closer than usual.
“Then, there shouldn’t be any problems. I’ve never thought that my defense couldn’t stop their claims.”
With her confident attitude, Song Kang’s uneasy feelings vanished. Indeed, it was a good decision to meet Line before the summons.
His face finally broke into a smile. At that moment, as if she were offering a handshake, she extended her hand.
For some reason, the hand he was reaching out to hold, aware that she was not the type to offer a warm handshake, carried a significant meaning. He took her hand.
“Now it’s the beginning, why worry so much? Do well and come back.”
Line casually threw a heartfelt word as if she didn’t care, and she tried to release her hand from his grasp. However, Song Kang’s grip on her hand became even firmer.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
