Chapter 561: Investigating the Truth (1)
As the end of September drew to a close, Girls' Generation returned to South Korea.
After returning to South Korea, Taeyeon went to her brother Jin Woo, borrowed a lawyer from him, and asked Jin Woo to go to a place with her.
Because the next thing to be investigated cannot be seen in public, and the place where she is going cannot be entered at will with her identity, if she enters rashly, it is likely to be spread by the outside world, and it is not known what kind of public opinion will be aroused at that time, so Taeyeon has to use the help of Chen Yu to disguise herself as someone who is traveling with Chen Yu to go to that place together.
And there, maybe Taeyeon can know something that would convince her of something.
When Shin Jung-hwan, who came to the communication room in prison uniform and with a haggard look in handcuffs and shackles, appeared in front of Taeyeon, Taeyeon couldn't believe that the person in front of him who was so sloppy that he didn't have the image of an MC that he had in the past turned out to be Shin Jung-hwan.
More than four months in prison has turned this uncle, who was once very popular in various variety shows, into a thin and haggard appearance who has suffered from vicissitudes of life, and Taeyeon can't help but feel a little unbearable when she sees him.
"You are ......" Shin Jung-hwan was still a little confused when he saw the three people who had come to visit him in prison, he didn't know the three people in front of him, and he wondered why they came here to look for him.
Chen Yu turned his head slightly and gestured to the lawyer, and then the lawyer walked over to the prison guard, stuffed a letter into his hand, and the prison guard weighed the weight and coughed: "The prison visit time is thirty minutes, grasp the time." β
Then the guards closed the door and left the communication room.
After the prison guards left, Taeyeon took off her glasses and hat and said to Shin Jung-hwan, "Jeong-hwan oppa, do you still recognize me?"
"Are you...... Taeyeon?" I haven't seen Taeyeon for more than two years, since the gambling was exposed in 05, Shin Jung-hwan's popularity has plummeted, and almost no variety shows are willing to look for him again, and Shin Jung-hwan is also deeply hit, rarely watching variety shows anymore, for fear that he will be sad and regretful when he sees these variety shows that he used to participate in, so when he sees Taeyeon at this time, he can't recognize her for a while.
"It's me, oppa, are you okay in there?" Taeyeon admits her identity and asks about Shin Jung-hwan's current condition.
Shen Zhenghuan smiled bitterly and sat down, shook his head and said, "How bad can it be? You can also see it, I can't talk about anything good or bad now." β
Indeed, at the beginning, the famous MC, actor and funny artist in China have now become prisoners of the order, and I am afraid that only Shin Zhenghuan himself can understand the contrast between the front and back.
"Sister, let's get down to business first. β
"Got it. Taeyeon silently responded.
This time, Chen Yu was entrusted by Taeyeon to help him take her to prison to visit Shin Jung-hwan, and he also knew some of the reasons from Taeyeon, plus he didn't have any good feelings for Lee Seung-gi, who had smashed his storefront, and if it weren't for his uncle's reliance on someone above him, he would have suppressed the matter and compensated Chen Yu 50 million won, Chen Yu might have dispatched all the elite lawyers of the FAW Group to bring down Lee Seung-gi, and even let Lee Seung-gi spend the rest of his life in prison for the rest of his lifeγ
So when Taeyeon came to ask him for help, Chen Yu agreed without hesitation, and immediately transferred an exclusive lawyer from FAW Group, in order for him to help confirm whether Lee Seung-gi could be convicted of a felony after Taeyeon investigated the clues in the future.
Lee Seung-gi told the truth, which has made Taeyeon feel that as long as he continues to be in the entertainment industry, maybe more people will be victimized because of him, and the former Yoona almost lost her innocence because of him, and later if Taeyeon hadn't let him go, maybe it was not Shin Jung-hwan but Lee Seung-gi who was eating in prison now.
Taeyeon knew that she couldn't be soft-hearted anymore, and she let him go with a soft heart at the beginning, thinking that he would repent, but she didn't expect this person to have an unchangeable temperament, and after that incident, he also mixed with a group of fox friends and dog friends, and almost let Shirley have an accident because of his group of fox friends at the celebration party after F(x)'s debut.
The past has told Taeyeon that she must not be soft-hearted, and she must not let this scumbag continue to harm others, so now she has come to the prison to visit Shin Jung-hwan, the purpose is to confirm from Shin Jung-hwan whether he was involved in gambling overseas and Lee Seung-gi at the beginning.
"Oppa, I'm here to ask you something, and I hope you can tell me everything you know, and if possible, maybe you can get out of prison soon. β
If Shin Jung-hwan was really framed by Lee Seung-gi before going to prison, then Taeyeon is sure that Shin Jung-hwan can get out of prison.
Because once it is found out that Shin Jung-hwan's imprisonment is really inseparable from Lee Seung-gi, as long as all this evidence is made public and a lawsuit is filed, then Shin Jung-hwan's charges will be washed away and he can be acquitted, so Taeyeon said this to Shin Jung-hwan.
"Huh...... I thought that no one would remember me when I went to jail, because I brought it all on myself. But I didn't expect that someone would remember me and even want to help me...... Hehe......" Shin Zhenghuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, as if he was laughing at himself and pity his fate.
But from a tear that slipped from the corner of his eye, Taeyeon saw his bitterness.
Suffering such a fate, he had to be sentenced to prison to serve his sentence, and then his relatives and friends drew a line with him, and it would be very painful to think that no matter who he was, he would feel very painful.
"If you want to know anything, ask, and I will tell you what I know. After lamenting his fate, Shin Jung-hwan also saw the reality clearly and decided to cooperate with Taeyeon and tell her everything he knew.
"OPPA, I want to ask, did Lee Seung Gi happen to be with you during the time you were gambling overseas?"
Speaking of Lee Seung Gi, Shin Jung Hwan's expression suddenly became hideous, but then it dimmed again, nodded and responded: "That's right, he was with me at that time, I went there first because of the recording of the show, and the show starring Lee Seung Gi happened to be filmed there the day after the show was recorded there." β
"And what happened later?" Seeing Shin Jung-hwan's expression, Taeyeon knew that Shin Jung-hwan must have known that his arrest and imprisonment were related to Lee Seung-gi.
"Later, after I finished recording there, I planned to return to China with the program team, but Lee Seung Gi's program came to me just after the recording was over, saying that he was going to take me to a very interesting place, and it wasn't until I went to that place that I found out that it was a casino. β
A look of remorse appeared on Shin Jung-hwan's face again, "If I had been able to control myself a little and not listen to Lee Seung-gi's instigation, I don't think I would have ended up like this." β
"Did Lee Seung-gi instigate you?" Hearing this, Taeyeon was taken aback.
If Shin Jung-hwan went to the casino by himself and was exposed by Lee Seung-gi, the responsibility in the middle is shared by the two of them.
But now Shin Zhenghuan said that it was Lee Seung Gi who instigated him to gamble, which shows that Lee Seung Ki was premeditated against Shin Zheng Hwan.
"Isn't he who else?05 years after I gambled I have been forced to quit gambling, even a small poker I saw after I endured to stop looking, that time Lee Shengji took me to the casino after I said that I didn't want to gamble, but Lee Shengji said that a small gambling pleasure big gambling hurt the body, just to play and not to gamble, and also gave me almost 1 million won of chips for me to play. β
Speaking of this, Shen Zhenghuan closed his eyes deeply, and a look of remorse continued to appear on his face, and he said after a long time: "If I could have restrained myself from gambling at that time, maybe I wouldn't have ended up now." But at that time, I was confused, and I saw that Li Shengji gave me gambling money, and the amount was not very large, so I thought about having a little fun. But I didn't expect to play a game, and I just won the lottery and won almost 10 million won in just a few hours. β
"Then oppa, are you ...... after this" Taeyeon didn't continue, because this routine is already obvious, it is a common method in casinos, at the beginning of the fat sheep to take the bait, will deliberately let him win a happy one, and when the time is almost right, he will start to give a thousand, let him spit out all the money he won, and then give some conditions or usury, allowing him to owe and continue to gamble after losing, which is to take advantage of the gambler's psychology of wanting to win back the money after losing money.
In this way, it is almost difficult for Shin Zhenghuan to win, from the beginning of the big win to the end of the more than 8 million gambling debts, until the end of the casino seizure.
"Yes...... It's pretty much the same as you want to say, after I won so many games, I pressed all my money because I wanted to come to the last one, and then I lost all of it, and then I borrowed 8 million won from the casino to change chips and continue gambling, but I lost it all one after another, and then you know what happened next. β
Shin Jung-hwan sighed deeply and said, "I still have a way to solve the debt of 8 million won, but I was just detained by the casino for two days, and my friend had just raised money to redeem me, and the news came out that I was seized for gambling overseas, and then it didn't take long for the country to send someone to extradite me back to China, and then sent me to court for trial." β
"Then oppa, do you know how the news of your gambling overseas came out in China?"
"Later, I heard that it seemed that someone broke the news about my gambling to D Company, and then D Company exposed the matter. β
Shin Jung-hwan said all the causes and consequences, and Taeyeon knew almost everything, and after looking at the lawyer on the side, he asked, "Lawyer Gao, how do you think the investigation should be done next?"
Entrusted by the boss and the eldest lady, lawyer Ko was sorting out and analyzing what Shin Jung-hwan told the whole time, and by the time Taeyeon asked him, he had already analyzed the general situation and already had a plan of action, so he said, "Miss, there are two places to go next." The first is to find out who published the report that exposed Mr. Shin Zhenghuan's gambling in the first place, and the second is to go to Mr. Jiang Hudong and ask him if he knows something. β
"Hudong, what's wrong with Hudong, is he okay?" As soon as Lawyer Gao finished speaking, Shen Zhenghuan was stunned and hurriedly asked.
