Breaking the silence, K spoke.

“Oh, smart.”

“Is it good?”

The atmosphere quickly turned around. Director Hong nodded in a positive manner, and Moon Sung-hoon also responded seriously, jotting something down.

“It’s a pretty good idea.”

“Not bad. I’m in favor!”

K said.

“If that happens… It might be difficult to link the video to Tae-seok’s crime. It lowers its value. Wow, the more I think about it, the better it gets, right?”

Continuing to admire, K winked at Summer. The mood became a bit chaotic for a moment as Tae-seok seemed to be glaring at Summer.

Tae-seok, too, was surprised by Summer’s wit. He was confident that it was the best judgment he could make in this situation.

“Well done, Choi Yeoreum.”

“I’ll handle the video editing. Spreading it virally is not a big deal for me. I’ll play around with the video first to make it amusing.”

While K delivered a speech about how he would cook up the video, Tae-seok was lost in thought.

He hadn’t shown it, but he had considered the worst-case scenario. Eventually, if things didn’t get better despite his efforts, it would be time to retire. Instead of engaging in messy investigations, disappearing might be the better option.

Retirement wasn’t an easy decision, but it wasn’t so regrettable. The only worry was that this decision would make things difficult for Summer, knowing that it might.

It was a good idea to confide in the stubborn rabbit. With her cute head, she came up with quite a good idea.

The compressed praise would be given later in bed…

As Tae-seok got lost in his thoughts, staring as if he would grab Summer’s nape, Lawyer Moon Sung-hoon returned to the original topic and spoke again.

“Oh, but still, the penalty for extortion seems too light. Let’s revisit that discussion.”

“Yes.”

“I really like the idea of repaying exactly what you’ve received. Since we reported Seo Tae-seok for tax evasion, let’s also report Ji Hyeon-jeong for tax evasion. I drew an interesting picture. Oh, amazing. What is it?”

K asked as if all these events were just becoming an interesting game. Moon Sung-hoon smiled briefly, as if he couldn’t stop himself.

“Corporate entities have limited areas where they can reduce taxes. Unlike individual business owners, cost management is not easy. However, HJ doesn’t pay a lot of taxes compared to its revenue. Of course, that’s not necessarily wrong, but still, I find it a bit suspicious.”

Tapping the keyboard, he found information.

“I dug into the cost management, and some suspicious activities were detected in the group insurance.”

“Group insurance?”

Moon Sung-hoon displayed the data on the screen. Of course, most people chose to look at him instead of the screen since they wouldn’t understand even if they looked at the data.
The number of HJ Planning employees is 216. All employees are enrolled in A Life Insurance’s group insurance. Many employees participate in it for their welfare. The group insurance itself is a good system. However, to handle the cost of group insurance, several conditions must align. Firstly, the beneficiary must be an employee, and secondly, it must be non-reimbursable and perishable.

Several people nodded. Director Hong had a bewildered expression, unable to comprehend the attack of incomprehensible words.

However, the group insurance that HJ Planning joined has a corporate beneficiary, not an employee. In other words, it’s made for HJ Planning, and there is a maturity refund. Dumping such a contract as cost management is clearly tax evasion.

Uh, difficult.

While looking at Director Hong, who had lost his mind to the attack of incomprehensible words, Summer hesitated about whether to lose her mind along with him. Seeing that expression, Moon Sung-hoon laughed loudly and neatly summarized.

“Each employee is insured for 20 million won every month, and they don’t pay that much in taxes. When the insurance matures, they get it back as a refund. If employees get it back, it’s still okay, but this insurance has a corporate beneficiary. In other words, HJ gets it all.”

“Interesting. Why did they do such a thing?”

Tae-seok asked, hitting the nail on the head.

“Well, they might have thought of it as tax reduction. But it’s a risky method.”

Tae-seok thought deeply with a profound gaze.

“But something decisive is missing. To have a tax audit, turn the company upside down, and get featured on the front page of the newspaper, we need something more provocative.”

Looking at Tae-seok, Moon Sung-hoon spoke.

“If Mr. Seo Tae-seok helps a bit, there’s another interesting picture. Want to hear it?”

Everyone’s ears perked up. K couldn’t hold back and shouted.

“Hurry, hurry! I’m dying. Lawyer, what is it? What is it?”

The lawyer spoke with a meaningful expression.

“Corporate embezzlement.”

Only K immediately understood and clapped his knees.

“Oh! Our team is really full of geniuses.”

“How does it sound after hearing it?”

Tae-seok asked, putting a grape in Summer’s mouth.
