Choi Woo-shik arrived at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office leading the legal team leader and his team of lawyers.
A large number of reporters were waiting in front of the Central District Prosecutors' Office to take pictures of him.
As soon as the vehicle carrying Choi Woo-shik stopped at the entrance to the Central District Prosecutors' Office, reporters rushed in.
Bodyguards formed a human barricade to block reporters' access.
Only after the confusion had died down and the scene was under control did Choi Woo-shik get out of the car.
Investigators from the Central District Prosecutors' Office began to push reporters out of the photo line.
"Hey! Are you pushing a reporter right now?! What are you doing!"
"Hey, take a picture! Take at least one more picture!!"
The reporters protested violently as they were pushed by the investigators, but the investigators just silently pushed them back.
Eventually, the reporters were pushed out of the photo line by investigators from the Central District Prosecutors' Office and the bodyguards brought by Choi Woo-shik.
But these reporters were not the ones to give up. They shouted at Choi Woo-shik from afar.
"Chairman Choi Woo-shik. Do you admit to the embezzlement charges?"
"Chairman Choi Woo-shik. What do you think about the suspicion that the prosecution is conducting a lenient investigation?"
"Mr. Chairman! Please tell me how you feel!"
Choi Woo-shik passed the photo line with his mouth tightly shut and his face frozen stiffly as he entered the Central District Prosecutors' Office.
"Welcome, Chairman Choi Woo-shik."
Oh Hyun-woo greeted him at the entrance.
"Oh, Sword. It's been a while."
Choi Woo-shik, who entered the Central District Prosecutors' Office, held out his hand to Oh Hyun-woo with a broad smile as if his stiff face from just a moment ago was a lie.
Oh Hyun-woo looked at the hand for a moment, then turned around and said.
"Chairman, today's schedule is a bit tight. Today will be the last summons for questioning. I ask for your cooperation."
Choi Woo-shik awkwardly took back the hand he had extended and laughed awkwardly.
"Thank goodness today is the last day. Ask me anything. I've prepared diligently."
However, Oh Hyun-woo and Choi Woo-shik had different ending thoughts.
Oh Hyun-woo was planning to end his arrest today, and Choi Woo-shik was planning to end the tiresome summons investigation.
"Legal Team Leader."
"Yes, Chairman."
"Are you all clear on your schedule today?"
"Yes. I emptied it."
"Once the investigation is over today, the head of the legal team should take care of the people who have worked hard until now."
Choi Woo-shik gave instructions to the head of the legal team without even thinking about lowering his voice, as if telling them to listen.
He told me to take care of the inspectors. Oh Hyun-woo laughed inwardly while waiting for the elevator.

'This is the prosecution office, do you think it's the KS Group headquarters? Ha, this is annoying.'
Oh Hyun-woo hid his feelings by managing his facial expressions in a familiar way.
When the elevator door opened, I got on with Choi Woo-shik.
"Oh, right. You said you were a college classmate of President Kim Moo-hyuk?"
When he heard the name Kim Mu-hyeok, Oh Hyeon-woo, who had been staring straight ahead in silence, turned his head.
"Why are you suddenly asking that?"
"No, I don't know President Kim Moo-hyuk's personality at all. What was he like when he was in college?"
"hmm······."
Oh Hyun-woo thought back to Kim Mu-hyeok from his college days.
But was what he knew really everything about Kim Mu-hyuk? It certainly wasn't.
He could be sure that he himself did not know everything about Kim Moo-hyuk.
If there's anyone who knows that, wouldn't it be Myeongsu and Hyeonseong, who have known each other since childhood?
"Well, a friend who gives and takes is the correct one."
"Is it correct to give and take?"
"Yes. I don't know if it's because he's a businessman or if it's just how he is, but he always returns good intentions with good intentions and evil intentions with evil intentions. President Kim Moo-hyuk is that kind of guy."
"Hmm······. I see. Thank you."
While we were talking, the elevator arrived at the floor where the interrogation room was.
Oh Hyun-woo, who had guided us to the interrogation room, went outside for a moment.
After a while, the head of the Central District Prosecutors' Office came to the interrogation room in person.
Even Choi Woo-shik, who is a strong candidate for the next Prosecutor General, could not bring himself to approach the Chief Prosecutor of the Central District Prosecutors' Office and got up first.
"Chief Prosecutor of the Central District Prosecutors' Office. It's been a while."
"Isn't it a good thing that we see each other so often? I gave instructions to make sure that you don't feel any inconvenience today, so don't worry too much."
"Thank you for your consideration. I will greet you separately next time."
"Yes. I would like to have a cup of tea, but I have a lunch appointment with the prosecutor general, so I have to go now. I hope you are comfortable with the investigation and go back."
After finishing his speech, the chief prosecutor of the central district prosecutor glanced at his junior, the head of the legal team.
The head of the legal team, who had been receiving attention, bowed and greeted me.
"Hello, senior."
"Tsk. If he had grown up well in the prosecution, he would have become a big shot. What does that guy's money say······."
However, the Central District Prosecutor did not accept the greeting from the head of the legal team.
Instead, he looked down at him with a look of contempt and then left the interrogation room.
"I guess you don't have a good relationship with the Chief Prosecutor of the Central District Prosecutors' Office."
"Oh, no. We drank together a few days ago."
"Really? But the reaction is so······."
A small feeling of anxiety sprouted in Choi Woo-shik's heart.
It was because of the appearance of the Central District Prosecutor's Office chief who did not hide his contemptuous gaze towards the head of the legal team even in front of him.

At that moment, the door opened and Oh Hyun-woo came in. The prosecutors who followed him put several heavy boxes on the floor and left.
"Okay. Let's begin now."
Oh Hyun-woo looked at the boxes once and checked his watch again.
"Let's briefly review the case until lunchtime."
When Oh Hyun-woo smiled kindly, Choi Woo-shik put aside his anxiety that had been building up for a moment and cooperated with the investigation.
Most of the charges had already been sufficiently clarified, and the prosecution had also promised to take that into consideration.
Time passed quickly and the lunch hour that Oh Hyun-woo had mentioned was fast approaching.
"It's already this late. What would you like for lunch? Should I order you some galbitang?"
"No. I decided to buy lunch from outside."
"Okay. Then, enjoy your lunch and I hope you'll continue to cooperate in this way in the afternoon."
After Oh Hyun-woo left, the secretaries who had been waiting outside laid out the lunch boxes they had brought on the table.
It was a fancy meal, including sushi from a fancy restaurant that you wouldn't think you could eat in an interrogation room.
Choi Woo-shik asked the head of the legal team while picking up sushi with chopsticks.
"What's your schedule for the afternoon?"
"Once all the investigations are over as promised, you can go out for dinner."
"Really? Then tell them to make a restaurant reservation in advance. So that we can eat and go home right away."
"Are you talking about your little lady?"
"Then I should eat with that bitch? Hey! What are you doing that's ruining my appetite!"
When Choi Woo-shik raised his voice, the head of the legal team quickly bowed his head and apologized.
"Tsk. How's her movement?"
"I don't see any special movements."
"Are you sure you're watching him properly? It's more suspicious when he's quiet. And, did you find that old man?"
Looking at Choi Woo-shik, who was shoving sushi into his mouth until it burst, the head of the legal team answered cautiously.
"That······. We confirmed its whereabouts up to Incheon Airport, but it did not leave the country. Whether it rose into the sky or fell to the ground, we have no idea what it has been up to since."
"Really? I feel uneasy for some reason."
"and······."
The head of the legal team glanced at the magic mirror, then approached Choi Woo-shik and whispered in his ear.
"All real estate that is in the hands of Chairman Cho will be transferred to Dream High Korea······."
"What? What do you mean!"
Choi Woo-shik interrupted the legal team leader's words, shouted, and broke the wooden chopsticks he was holding in his hand.
The head of the legal team sighed as his efforts to keep information from leaking out went down the drain and continued speaking.
"All of Chairman Cho's future real estate has just been transferred to Dream High Korea."
"What the hell! What the hell have you done!"
Choi Woo-shik jumped up from his seat and slapped the head of the legal team in the face.
"Yes, Chairman."

"You said you only trusted yourself? How important is that!!"
"Lower your voice. If anyone hears you······."
"What if I hear that? What are you going to do? That means she already has enough bullets in her hand!!"
"I guess so. Sorry."
"Contact the press immediately and tell them about this······."
At that moment, the door to the interrogation room opened. Oh Hyun-woo, who was about to enter, paused for a moment after reading the ominous atmosphere.
"······What's wrong?"
"Is lunch time over already?"
"No. I came here because I had something urgent to convey. But······. Why is your face red, senior? Did you get hit?"
"Wh, what are you talking about! It's because it's hot! Because it's hot!"
"······They're saying it's the coldest day of the winter, but you're still hot? Are you sick?"
Oh Hyun-woo spoke in a tone of disbelief, and the head of the legal team's face turned even redder.
Choi Woo-shik didn't make any more excuses and just sat down.
"This is the Central District Prosecutors' Office interrogation room. Violence is absolutely prohibited, Chairman."
"I don't know what you're talking about. So what do you want me to say?"
Oh Hyun-woo raised the corners of his mouth at Choi Woo-shik's arrogant attitude.
"As of now, an emergency arrest warrant has been decided for Chairman Choi Woo-shik. And an arrest warrant will be issued this evening······."
"What?! What the hell are you talking about!!"
Choi Woo-shik suddenly stood up from his seat, cutting off Oh Hyun-woo's words.
"Arrest? Emergency arrest? You said you were arresting me now! Me, Choi Woo-shik?"
"Yes. Pursuant to Article 230 of the Criminal Procedure Act······."
However, Oh Hyun-woo began to recite the criminal procedure law regarding emergency arrest in a calm voice.
"Hey, oh sword."
The head of the legal team stepped forward and called Oh Hyeon-woo.
However, Oh Hyun-woo did not stop talking and finished explaining everything according to procedure.
"What on earth is the reason for making an emergency arrest? Our chairman has been actively cooperating with the prosecution investigation."
"First of all, new criminal charges have been discovered against Chairman Choi Woo-shik."
"What are you talking about? A new criminal charge? Even if there is, doesn't our Chairman have any plans or intentions to flee?"
Oh Hyun-woo opened his mouth, looking straight into the eyes of the legal team leader who was speaking softly.
"As there is concern about the destruction of evidence, an emergency arrest has been decided. A search and seizure warrant has been issued, and a search and seizure of KS Co., Ltd. is in progress."
"Destruction of evidence? And what? Search and seizure? What, what does that mean?"
"The evidence for the crime is already clear. It's a matter related to slush funds. Please finish your meal first. I'll be back in 30 minutes."
"Hey! Oh sword! Oh sword!"
The head of the legal team called desperately, but Oh Hyeon-woo left the interrogation room without looking back.
The sound of the thick interrogation room door closing was particularly loud.

"Muhyeok!"
The old woman opened the door and came in. As soon as she came in, she started nagging me.
"When did you get in? Oh my, you smell like alcohol… How much did you drink for the baby to lose his senses?"
Grandma opened the window of my room. A cold winter wind blew into the room.
I quickly rolled up the blanket and buried myself inside as the cold spread through my body.
"Why didn't you wake up all of a sudden? The sun is high in the sky."
"Just a little more······."
"Eat some rice and go to bed some more. I made some bean sprout soup."
The old woman said as she opened the remaining window without giving up.
I had no choice but to get up. I got out of bed, pushing aside the blanket I had been rolling up.
"Bean sprout soup?"
"Yeah. What kind of alcohol did you drink?"
"It's because I'm drinking with friends after a long time. Let's go out quickly."
I quickly hugged my grandmother and took her out of the room.
"Don't you smell like alcohol? Don't you suddenly disappear?"
My grandmother nagged me and tapped my shoulder, but I laughed instead.
When I went to the kitchen, the meal was already prepared on the table.
"Suddenly, Mura."
The old lady put down her spoon and chopsticks in front of me and sat down at her seat.
I finished a bowl of bean sprout soup in one go and handed it to my grandmother.
"Oh my. Why are you drinking alcohol that you can't even win against!"
While nagging, the old woman brought me more bean sprout soup from a large pot.
This time, I put the free rice into the bean sprout soup.
After eating Halmaepyo Guk, I finally felt a little better.
"I'm going up to Seoul the day after tomorrow."
"You're coming up the day after tomorrow?"
"Yeah. Now that I've had a good rest, I should get to work."
"okay······."
He opened his mouth to appease the old woman, whose expression of regret was obvious.
"I'll come down during the Lunar New Year."
"Okay. Thanks for coming down. Why do you keep coming down when you're so close?"
"Really? Really, don't come down?"
No matter how many times I asked, the old lady didn't answer.
"You're really not coming? Is that okay?"

"You son of a bitch! Don't come here! Don't come here!"
Finally, the old lady lost her temper.
I laughed out loud, and eventually a smile spread across my grandmother's lips.
After finishing the meal, we washed the dishes together and went into the room.
"Sir."
As soon as I entered the room with Director Ma, who was waiting, the smile disappeared from my face.
"Haven't you heard anything?"
"Prosecutor Oh Hyun-woo was contacted. Choi Woo-sik was arrested on an emergency basis, and a search and seizure of the KS Group began at the same time."
"Good. Tell them to publish the article right away. Let's start to gather public opinion about why Chairman Choi Woo-shik was arrested."
It was finally time to blow up Choi Woo-shik.
