“This is the time separator.”
“Why is that?”
“So we can move on to the next topic.”
Songkang knew that the progress Line was talking about wasn’t that kind of progress. Line lifted her beer can without saying a word. Songkang, led by her provocation, drank some beer.
“Why are you so curious?”
At Songkang’s urging, Line struggled to speak.
“Taesung’s family.”
Whether reading documents or listening to testimonies… life outside the case seemed like a luxury, but the conclusion returned to the case.
“Well, if that’s the case, you could have told me without getting drunk.”
It was a story that could even wake up the drunkenness he had.
“Isn’t it because it’s necessary for the case?”
“Yes, but it’s still impolite. Asking about family matters… I didn’t like it.”
Songkang could understand what she meant by her words. The feeling of indifference and dislike, he had felt it a lot. But how did Line know that feeling?
“Do you know that Mrs. Geum Moran is not my real mother? You might have a rough idea of what kind of relationship it is. Then, go ahead and ask.”
“Who is Geum Moran?”
In response to Line’s question, Songkang couldn’t give a light answer. He knew that it was a question he couldn’t comfortably accept, but it still seemed difficult.
“She’s someone who will do anything to satisfy her desires.”
Line hadn’t actually seen Geum Moran, but when she saw her in the media, the word “greed” seemed to fit her. From her eyes to her expression, there was not a single genuine corner.
“What kind of person is Na Song Rim?”
Line continued with a firm voice.
“Na Song Rim, Na Song Woon… They’re just naive kids. Some of them grew up crooked under Geum Moran’s ambition. They look impressive on the outside, but they didn’t even receive proper family education. They pretend to be scared of me… They’re… they can’t hide the fact that they’re unprincipled.”
He couldn’t even make a fundamentally deceitful statement.
Line wanted to hear more details. She thought there might be a clue inside the Taesung family.
“But those rumors about securities guru Jirashi… Na Song Rim, Na Song Woon causing accidents and covering them up with money… are they all true?”
“I don’t know how far the rumors have spread, but I know that’s what they say.”
Songkang made a complicated expression. He didn’t want to be accused like this, but it still looked difficult.
“But why are you suddenly curious about that? It’s not like you’re going to bring up the case now, is it?”
Songkang asked Line why she suddenly asked such a question. Was she trying to accuse them now…
“That money… where did it all come from?”
Geum Moran would have taken Taesung’s money. She would have used all sorts of tricks in the process…
“Na Song Rim, Na Song Woon… they’re just naive kids. They must have pushed money in with their heads… So they bought high-ranking government officials in the cultural and sports field, right?”
Line pointed out Na Song Rim and Na Song Woon as clear culprits even though they were presumed innocent.
How could she reveal their hideousness as if she had lived in the Taesung family? Songkang’s face suddenly paled.
“Still… I didn’t think you knew all this. Did you know and didn’t testify?”
“It’s possible for Taesung… to get hurt, right?”
“Then, what about you, Director? Are you okay with receiving a prison sentence?”
Line’s voice had a bit more strength. Songkang couldn’t respond for a moment and thought deeply.
As he struggled with his thoughts, Line felt that she might fail to control her emotions. An overwhelming wave of emotion surged through her chest for reasons she couldn’t quite understand.
“Director, the company needs me.”
Line organized her many emotions and spoke the one crucial word to Songkang.
“I don’t want to fight and lose. It’s a story I can’t miss in this case’s argument. I understand your concerns, Director, and I’m not ignorant, but it doesn’t seem like the path to benefit Taesung.”
Her originally cold temperament showed through in her words. Songkang looked at her while trying to calm his scattered thoughts.
“So, what would be in Taesung’s best interest? Smart Prosecutor Jina Line, please tell me.”
“If a prison sentence is handed down, you have to take your hands off everything in management during that period. You understand that, don’t you? During that time, those inexperienced younger siblings will take over Taesung’s positions and ruin the company.”
“I understand.”
“The person who knows that…”
Line’s voice almost raised, but she abruptly stopped speaking. How must the person who knew but couldn’t avoid it have felt?
Songkang’s thoughts weren’t much different. So it hurt even more.
Then, was it necessary to choose a way to live by exposing Taesung’s clear family matters, as Line had suggested? He still wasn’t sure.
“I may sound painful, but…”
