Chapter 562: Investigating the Truth (2)
Jiang Hudong oppa him...... Because he was exposed to tax evasion, he has now gotten off from various variety shows, and I have just returned to China and haven't seen him yet, but I heard that his current situation is not very good, and it seems that he has to accept the summons of the court to accept the trial......"
Jiang Hudong's encounter Taeyeon has learned a lot from various channels when he returned to China, the most common theory is that his barbecue restaurant has brought a booming business with his popularity, but he often evades taxes and evades, with an amount of up to 100 million won, after being exposed to tax evasion, the barbecue restaurant was seized by the court for the first time, Jiang Hudong's career has been seriously affected, all kinds of products he endorsed have been terminated, and the variety shows he participated in and hosted were also terminated after discussion.
Just as after Shin Jung-hwan's first gambling was exposed, Kang Ho-dong suddenly fell from a popular national MC to a villain who was criticized by everyone.
"Hudong...... How could such a thing happen?" Hearing Kang Ho-dong's recent situation from Taeyeon's mouth, Shin Jung-hwan was stunned, muttered a few times in a daze, and then raised his head and asked Taeyeon: "Taeyeon, is Hudong's matter also related to Lee Seung-gi?"
"Maybe, I don't know if Lee Seung Gi was involved in this matter, but now the strong heart co-hosted by Hudong oppa and Lee Seung Gi is left to host Lee Seung Gi alone, so I think this possibility is not impossible, which is also one of the reasons why I want to go to Hudong oppa next, I want to learn about the situation from him. ”
"I ...... I'm really worried about whether Hudong will survive this difficult time. Taeyeon ......" said Shin Jung-hwan looked at Taeyeon again, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly stood up and bowed to Taeyeon, "I brought my gambling on my own, even if I can't go out, it doesn't matter, but Ho-dong is different, if he goes to prison again after something like this, his life will be ruined, so I beg you, please help him, please." ”
The friendship between Shin Jung-hwan and Jiang Hudong has been maintained for more than ten years, and although the two often fight each other in the show, they are iron buddies who have a good relationship in private.
Suddenly, he learned that something had happened to his good brother, and Shin Jung-hwan wanted to help, but he was in prison, and he had more than enough strength, so he begged Taeyeon and wanted Taeyeon to help Kang Ho-dong.
And Taeyeon was shocked by Shin Jung-hwan's sudden action, and hurriedly helped him up, and at the same time gave him a positive answer: "Jeong-hwan oppa, don't be like this, I can't afford it." You can rest assured, Hudong OPPA has often taken care of me in the years since my debut, and I will definitely not sit idly by if I can help him. ”
"Please. Receiving Taeyeon's reply, Shin Jung-hwan bowed to Taeyeon again.
…………
After leaving the prison, Taeyeon first contacted Jiang Hudong through the company's information and learned that he was currently staying in the barbecue restaurant, so she drove to Jiang Hudong's barbecue restaurant with Chen Yu.
When he arrives at the barbecue restaurant, Taeyeon sees that the barbecue restaurant he used to visit several times is no longer glorious, and the entrance is sealed by the Seoul District Court prohibiting people from entering, and when he looks through the glass window, he can only see that the inside of the restaurant is in ruins.
At the beginning, the thriving barbecue restaurant had to make a reservation in advance if you wanted to come here to eat at its busiest, but now it has become such a scene, and Taeyeon can't help but feel a sigh.
This shop used to be a place where she and her sisters often came when they were free, not only because the barbecue was delicious, but also because Jiang Hudong often took care of them when they came here, and invited them to eat here for free many times.
But now, time has passed, and the past is unbearable.
Taeyeon silently looked at the scene in front of her, couldn't bear it, and after talking to Chen Yu, she came to the back door of the barbecue restaurant.
After knocking on the door, I soon heard the footsteps coming over, and when the door opened, and when I saw that it was Taeyeon, a smile appeared on Jiang Hudong's old face that had been worried for days, "Taeyeon is here, come in and sit." ”
It seems that because of a good relationship, even if the recent blows have made Jiang Hudong deeply troubled, when Taeyeon comes to see him, Jiang Hudong can still call her as affectionately as usual, which is enough to make Taeyeon feel how kind this chubby uncle is.
"Just now, the economic company called me and asked me where I was, saying that Taeyeon was coming to see me, and I thought that someone in the company was joking with me, but I didn't expect it to be true. Come in and sit, the place is a little messy, don't be surprised. The...... It's your boyfriend, right?" is the same as the nagging uncle in Taeyeon's previous impression, Jiang Hudong has been chattering since she entered the door.
But......
"Oppa, he's my brother, not my boyfriend. "Misunderstood...... Taeyeon is also quite helpless, although she and her younger brother are just sisters and brothers, but when the two stand together, people who don't know will think that the two of them are a pair, one is almost 1.8 meters tall, and the other is less than 1.6 meters tall, which seems very witty, but it is so right, it is really helpless to be misunderstood.
"It turned out to be your brother, I'm sorry, I look at your brother's appearance, I thought it was your boyfriend, I'm sorry. Sit down, and I'll pour you a cup of tea. Jiang Hudong is also quite able to resolve the embarrassment, and after misunderstanding the relationship between Taeyeon and Chen Yu, he laughed, and hurriedly asked them to sit down and plan to entertain them.
"No oppa, we have something to ask you this time. Taeyeon stopped Kang Ho-dong, who was about to get up and pour water.
Jiang Hudong was stunned for a moment, sat back in his place, looked at Taeyeon puzzled, and asked, "Taeyeon, what do you want to ask me?"
Taeyeon nodded to Lawyer Gao, who was following her and Chen Yu, and then Lawyer Gao came over and sat down and asked Jiang Hudong: "Jiang Hudongxi, I am the lawyer invited by Taeyeonxi, and I want to ask you about some recent things about you, which is related to whether your reputation can be restored, so please tell me the truth." ”
"This ...... I...... I'll tell you what I know. Although he was very puzzled why Taeyeon came here with a lawyer, what he said just now made Kang Ho-dong's heart move, and he quickly agreed to cooperate with Taeyeon.
During this time, he had a very difficult time, and even when he walked on the street, some people recognized him and scolded him behind his back, just for tax evasion.
The store was closed, the reputation was ruined, and he was even afraid to buy something on the street, which was completely different from the situation when he walked on the street and was recognized by someone and called Hudong to cheer up, Jiang Hudong didn't want to restore his reputation and let these foul words be removed from his side.
Therefore, when Lawyer Gao mentioned that his reputation could be restored, Jiang Hudong was so excited, and promised to cooperate with them.
"Then let me ask you a more embarrassing question first, do you really have tax evasion?" Seeing that Jiang Hudong was willing to cooperate, Lawyer Gao also asked his first question.
But the question ......
Jiang Hudong was indeed embarrassed, and after hesitating for a long time, he nodded and replied: "Yes, but the problem of paying taxes is not that I don't want to pay, but that the money earned in the store is all in the hands of my wife, and she doesn't understand the problem of paying taxes, thinking that the money she makes after opening the store is her own." Although I know that I have to pay taxes, after all, I have hosted and starred in many variety shows before this, and I often go for several days, and I am not in the store for a lot of time, so even if I want to pay taxes, I don't have that time to pay, and in most cases, the tax bureau comes to collect taxes......"
"That means that the so-called tax evasion is just delayed because of other things, and it's not that the tax hasn't been paid, right?"
"Yes. Jiang Hudong nodded and replied.
"Then let me ask you a second question, which is more critical. The accounts in your shop are recorded without paying taxes, and is there anyone else who knows about this besides your wife?"
"Hmm......" Jiang Hudong frowned and pondered, and after a while, he said with some uncertainty: "It seems that Shengji also knows about this, he has seen the account book in my store, saying that he is helping me calculate the accounts, I didn't think too much about it at the time, so I showed him the account book." ”
Taeyeon's heart was shocked, and it was really related to Lee Seung Gi.
After asking such a clue, Lawyer Gao continued to ask: "Then do you remember when you showed the ledger to Lee Seung Gi?"
"Well...... It seems to be the beginning of this month, right? We had just finished recording "Strong Heart" together that day, and I saw that it was very late, so I invited him to come to the store for barbecue and supper. It should be the beginning of the month. ”
Kang Ho-dong recalls the situation and tells Taeyeon about them.
And through Kang Ho-dong's narration, Taeyeon can almost be sure that Lee Seung-gi did it behind his back.
Lawyer Ko was about to continue asking when a text message rang on his phone, and after picking it up and looking at it, he handed it to Taeyeon.
Before coming here, Chen Yu asked Lawyer Gao to send his subordinates to D Company, and the two sides acted separately, on the one hand, to ask Jiang Hudong about his tax evasion, and on the other hand, according to Lawyer Gao's previous guess, he went to D Company to find the editor who originally published the report on Shin Zhenghuan's gambling.
And the person who went to the D club at this time obviously had completed the task and sent the news he had learned.
The content of the text message is very simple, only a dozen words, but it is these ten words that make Taeyeon truly sure that the mastermind behind this series is Lee Seung Gi's ironclad evidence.
The text message read: "Three million to buy the accurate situation, Shin Jung-hwan was revealed by D Agency The source is Lee Seung-gi." ”
