It was too late for lunch and a bit early for dinner.
In front of a traditional Korean restaurant, a black sedan came to a stop.
With a clunking sound, the car door opened.
The person who got out of the car where the driver opened the door was Kyung-hee.
Kyung-hee stepped on the stepping stones placed among the lush grass and headed towards the restaurant.
As she entered, an employee approached and greeted her, guiding Kyung-hee smoothly even though she hadn’t mentioned a reservation. Finally reaching a certain room, Kyung-hee stepped inside as the door silently opened.
Inside the room, a middle-aged man was waiting for her.
“Hello, madam.”
Seeing the man stand up and greet her courteously as soon as she entered, Kyung-hee’s mouth stretched long.
“Yes. Hello, Congressman.”
The man was Congressman Choi Hee-beom, a current member of the National Assembly. Kyung-hee had some acquaintance with him through Sang-heon, and knowing that he was more inclined towards connections, money, and power than capability, she used her influence to arrange this meeting.
“I was surprised when I heard it from my secretary.”
Kyung-hee smiled faintly and picked up the glass in front of her.
The atmosphere was strangely tense.
Until she came here, Congressman Choi Hee-beom had many expectations, but he calmly changed his facial expression, continuing the conversation.
“Why did Taeyil Group’s madam want to see me?”
Kyung-hee, having taken a sip of water, put down the glass she was holding.
Despite the fact that the purpose of her visit was not for a meal, she handed over a USB, even though no food had been served.
Congressman Choi Hee-beom’s gaze became scrutinizing as he looked at the small USB.
“What’s this?”
Kyung-hee’s mouth stretched softly.
Fixing her gaze on the USB, she spoke in a mysterious tone.
“I heard you’ve enjoyed many meals.”
With that single remark, the atmosphere in the room sank.
Congressman Choi Hee-beom, who had been somewhat relaxed, forcefully raised the corners of his mouth while staring at Kyung-hee.
“Why are you saying this as if it has something to do with the madam?”
Hearing the awkward tone, Kyung-hee remained calm.
“How can the country run smoothly if a congressman receives so many bribes?”
“…”
“So, I thought I’d try something good.”
If a clean person made such a statement, it would have been a serious matter. However, the woman sitting in front of him did not have a spotless background.
In fact, her purse, which could be seen as belonging to a similar class as him, was not so clean. Seeing that, Congressman Choi Hee-beom pursed his dry lips and spoke.
“If that’s the case, shouldn’t you report it directly to the prosecution instead of bringing it to me?”
“…”
“What do you want?”
The words she wanted to hear came out.
Kyung-hee took out a business card from her bag and placed it in the center of the table.
「Manager Han Jae-oh」
Congressman Choi Hee-beom’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Jae-oh’s business card.
“What is this…”
As if asking what it meant, he looked at Kyung-hee, and her lips moved.
“News will soon come out that Manager Han lobbied you. Of course, we’ll also provide the data to the prosecution.”
At the nonsensical words, Congressman Choi let out a frustrated breath.
“Data? I don’t have any connection with Manager Han Jae-oh. How do you expect me to have data…”
“Don’t worry about that.”
His expression already showed that he was confident in being prepared.
Whatever it is, it’s likely manipulated data, but why would he believe such things?
Congressman Choi, unable to understand Kyung-hee’s reaction, stared at her without saying more.
Kyung-hee finally revealed her clear purpose for coming here.
“What I want is for the media to make a fuss about this, and for you to stay silent, Congressman.”
What Kyung-hee wanted was an ‘issue.’ Specifically, a frame of bribery that could be pinned on Jae-oh, so minuscule that not even a speck of dust could be captured.
To frame him, all that was needed was a single suspicion. In that regard, Congressman Choi Hee-beom, who had faced allegations of bribery several times, was an ideal target.
If it was someone other than Congressman Choi associated with it, the prosecution, despite having missed evidence several times, would pay attention.
Of course, it would soon be revealed that the data she handed over to the prosecution was manipulated, but that time would come after the shareholders’ meeting.
Until then, or rather, even afterward, the minds of those who encountered this issue would only be left with the provocative phrase, ‘Manager Han Jae-oh of Taeyil Group lobbied Congressman Choi Hee-beom.’ Kyung-hee was confident that she could say with assurance to Jung-woong that there was a corner she could trust.
[Don’t even dream of doing something that would disgrace yourself to that bastard.]Thinking of her husband, who she didn’t want to be overshadowed by Jae-oh and wanted to maintain his dignity, Kyung-hee glanced at Congressman Choi Hee-beom with a slightly twitched eye and stared at him.

Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
