Chapter: 122
"Damn it!"
On the rooftop of Taeyul's building, Divisional Manager Lee Hojung, who was smoking and watching the stream, cursed.
In the end, Black Dragon had managed to escape the fortress with the heirloom.
"That bastard knew everything..."
Lee Hojung recalled the mont he faced death.
Black Dragon who had provoked him with ssages.
Blinded by the offer of information about other hidden skills, he had moved.
He had no idea it was all a ga to Black Dragon.
"You're really dead, you bastard."
Despite being given several chances, the guy hadn't fulfilled his promise.
So the consequences were his to bear.
Swish-
Lee Hojung took out a dical certificate from the bag he had brought and examined it.
Although he had to go to the police station himself, it would only be a matter of ti before the news spread once Black Dragon's na was ntioned. He'd heard that reporters practically lived in police stations.
"You don't know how scary public opinion is. Even celebrities tremble before it."
Muttering to himself, Lee Hojung finished preparing and was about to go down the stairs.
Bzzt-
His smartphone vibrated suddenly.
"What is it?"
Lee Hojong opened the case cover.
"...Jongro Police Station?"
The caller ID that appeared above the number.
It wasn't fake, it was really the official registered number.
Feeling a sense of unease, Lee Hojung cleared his throat and answered the call.
"Hello?"
(“Hello, this is Detective Sun Woo-jin from the Jongro Police Station. Is this Mr. Lee Hojung?”)
"Yes, this is Lee Hojung. What's the matter?"
(“I'm calling to confirm a few things regarding the assault, threats, and extortion cases. Are you available for a call?”)
"...Threats?"
At the sound of that word, a predictable situation ca to mind.
Black Dragon had struck first before being sued.
But without any evidence, there was no way he could win against him.
"I think you are being deceived, Officer. I was the one who was assaulted."
(“The victim has already submitted strong evidence such as text ssages and call recordings. Despite that, are you still denying all the cris?”)
"Those are not my cris, I'm the victim! Do you understand? Those kids who haven't even grown up are lying!"
Lee Hojung spouted false claims, venting out his anger.
However, the detective interrupted him.
(“Please refrain from insulting the victim. Anyway, I understand that you deny all the cris and claim to be the victim yourself. So let's proceed with the investigation at the station.”)
"I'm not just claiming, I sm the victim! I'm going to the police station with my dical certificate right now..."
"Hey! Lee Hojung!"
At that mont, a loud voice ca from outside the phone.
The CEO, who had co up from below the stairs.
His face was flushed red.
"Sir?"
"What are you doing? What kind of bullshit have you done?"
"Yes? What are you..."
"Go down and see for yourself!"
With the sudden interrogation, the CEO went back down the stairs.
"I'll call you back later."
Flustered, Lee Hojung ended the call with the police and followed him.
A feeling of unease made his legs heavy.
"You can't touch the docunts. Please step back and wait."
"Don't touch those files!"
Voices from inside the office.
Lee Hojung went inside and froze.
"...What?"
Several people in suits were packing docunts into boxes marked with the prosecutor's office logo.
The place they were working on was his desk.
At that mont, a man wearing glasses approached and asked, "Are you Divisional Manager Lee Hojung of the RP departnt?"
When Lee Hojung nodded belatedly, he showed his ID and said, "Prosecutor Choi Yoon-seok from the Western District Prosecutors' Office. Based on a tip-off regarding embezzlent and tax evasion by Mr. Lee Hojung, we conducted an internal investigation and confird connections to illegal funds, including the aforentioned cris. We are currently investigating this matter and will be seizing and searching for necessary evidence such as Mr. Lee Hojung's work records and accounting docunts. Please confirm the contents of the warrant here."
"What?"
Lee Hojung, his eyes wide, hurriedly examined the contents of the warrant.
However, he found it difficult to understand from beginning to end.
"Embezzlent? What are you talking about! What have I done? Besides, I've never touched anything like illegal funds!"
"Jeong Baek Corporation. The company established by your brother-in-law, Kim Jae-hyeok? There have been quite a few transactions between the two."
"What does that have to do with anything? There's no law that says you can't do business with relatives, is there?"
"False expense claims, false outsourced labor costs, rebates through various gift certificates, manipulated purchase prices, forgery of official docunts with forged employee signatures... Does nothing co to mind?"
"..."
Lee Hojung's eyes widened at the list of charges.
The ticulous work his law school educated brother-in-law had done. He was certain he would never get caught, but sothing unexpected had happened.
"Based on the tip-off, we found that Jeong Baek Corporation was also operating several illegal gambling sites and making profits. There were also two sites registered in Mr. Lee Hojung's na."
"This is a trap! Who is the informant?!"
"For security reasons, I cannot tell you. Further investigations into your personal financial records will be necessary, so please cooperate with the investigation. First, we will prioritize securing internal data."
"No, wait..."
The prosecutor began to collect docunts with the investigators once again.
Lee Hojung stood there with his hand outstretched, frozen.
At that mont, the CEO approached with a flushed face.
"Hey, did you forge my signature too?"
"Sir, no, sir. That's not..."
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm going to hire a lawyer too, so don't even think about getting away."
"Sir... wait a minute! Sir!"
"Let go!"
The CEO pushed Lee Hojung's hand away and left.
Left alone, he staggered towards the ergency exit stairs outside the office.
Leaning against the wall, Lee Hojung called his brother-in-law with trembling hands.
(“The call cannot be connected right now…”)
Even after several attempts, the call was not answered.
He slumped down and rubbed his face.
‘It must be that bastard.’
Various thoughts flooded Lee Hojung's mind.
Black Dragon and Roper who always followed him.
The informant must be those guys.
Kim Jaeha, who had been taking care of his business, must have kept all the evidence behind.
‘I can't die alone.’
His eyes wild, he pulled out the dical certificate from his bag.
Taking a picture of it with his smartphone cara, Lee Hojung logged into the RPG community.
‘You trashy bastards. You'll suffer too.’
With slow fingers, he began typing.
It didn't matter if it was fabricated or not.
All he wanted was to tear down Black Dragon.
I am Lee Hojung, Divisional Manager of Taeyul Corporation.
I am writing this to denounce the violence and verbal abuse of the RP strear Black Dragon.
The attached dical certificate is evidence...
After several revisions, Lee Hojung pressed the complete button.
Once he had planted the na Black Dragon, the reaction would co imdiately.
Beep-
After a mont of blankly staring, he heard an alarm sound.
There was a 3 mark on the comnts posted on his post.
"That's right, tear each other apart."
Lee Hojung cursed and opened his post.
However…
-Is this guy crazy? lol
There was a completely unexpected reaction.
"What..."
Confused, Lee Hojung looked at the following comnts.
-Didn't you watch the news?
-Uncle, you're too late.
-They’d be screwed if they didn't have a body cam. lol
-Black Dragon, I support you.
-Even trash like this is getting involved;
-Jaeha, what kind of company life...
"What?"
Sharp criticism of himself.
anwhile, the support for Black Dragon and Kim Jaeha continued to grow.
Lee Hojung, unable to comprehend the situation, quickly checked the list of popular posts.
There, he found an article quoting a news report.
He hurriedly clicked on the title and read the contents.
Strear Black Dragon Threatened and Blackmailed...
According to reports, strear Black Dragon recently received threats and blackmail from a company employee, A.
DD Studio, Black Dragon's managent agency, stated that they have been preparing legal action to protect their strear.
DD Studio provided the police with various threatening ssages, recorded calls, and recorded videos. The contents were shocking, as they included violence and verbal abuse inflicted by A on his subordinates.
According to the bodycam footage obtained exclusively...
The article had been posted just before Lee Hojung wrote his exposé.
He didn't care about the rest of the content.
The problem was the bodycam footage provided by Black Dragon's company.
Panicked, Lee Hojung quickly played the attached bodycam footage.
"Are you doing this to your wife and child too? Act with so sha, huh? If you're incompetent, just do as you're told."
"..."
A familiar voice was heard in the video.
Although his face was mosaiced, it was clearly his voice.
"Who are you?"
"Wow, this guy totally didn't get a proper upbringing. Who talks to an elder like that...Ouch!"
The nas of Black Dragon's group mbers were also displayed on the video.
The image of him grabbing his arm and the subsequent scream.
Although it looked like an assault, the context was clear: Black Dragon was blocking him from hitting Kim Jaeha.
"Damn it, these bastards..."
Lee Hojung in the video cursed and lunged at Roper.
As soon as he swung his fist, Black Dragon pulled Roper.
"Ugh!"
He lost his balance with his fist swinging in the air.
He closed his eyes, unable to bear the sight of himself falling.
"I've had enough of you, don't ever co back."
The video ended with Kim Jaeha's last words.
Lee Hojung's gaze slid down to the comnts below.
-A perfect example of a trashy boss.
-Look at the way he talks.
-Did he try to fra it as an assault just because he was grabbed?
└He might have claid a 4-week injury just for being grabbed.
└He actually hit Jaeha himself;
-Go Black Dragon.
-Jaehaㅠㅠ
-Why is the attacker's face blurred?
└They say we should protect criminals first.
-The bodycam saved the day.
└DD Studio did a great job.
└Re-evaluation of Roper ㄷㄷ
"Damn..."
Lee Hojung cursed weakly as he read through the comnts
His plan was to ruin Black Dragon using public opinion. Now it had turned against him.
Thud-
Lee Hojung dropped his smartphone and stared blankly at the ergency exit ceiling.
It was all over. That was all that filled his mind.
He spent a long ti alone.
