"Li Ha-run has a record of seeing everyone, except for going to cheerleading, she basically hasn't seen anyone else."

"Cheerleading is Representative Kim's territory, and if Guo Dahai sends someone to meet with Li Harun, Representative Kim will definitely find out."

Li Yuanzhong listened to Ahn Jong-beom's words, he nodded and said, "Did Lee Ha-yun agree to attend the hearing?"

"Yesterday, Representative Kim had another conversation with Li Ha-run, and she agreed to attend the hearing to testify against Guo Dahai, but the precondition was that we had to pay her 200 million yuan and 100 million before the hearing."

"200 million? She really has a lot of appetite," Li Yuanzhong said with a smile, "This money is for Kim Dongwon to find a way to give her."

"Okay."

Gangnam-gu, Seoul

Yoon couldn't understand why Guo Dae asked him to take him to Dosan Park in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, after lunch to visit the memorial hall of independence activist Ahn Chang-ho, and he parked his car in the parking lot at the entrance of the park, and then the two got out of the car.

Guo Dahai first took a photo with the bronze statue of An Changhao, and then after entering the memorial hall, he asked Yin Shuhao to take a few photos of him visiting the An Changhao Memorial Hall.

Walking out of the memorial hall, Guo Dahai found a corner in the park and sat down, and he took out his mobile phone to call Cheng Min.

"Hey, Secretary Cheng, I sent you a few photos, and you tweeted through IG with the content 'Truth must be done, justice must be upheld, this is a quote from Mr. An Changhao, okay, that's all."

Leaving Daoshan Park, Guo Dahai stood on the side of the street and looked at the Sulwhasoo Jiangnan branch across the street, and after more than ten seconds, he slowly took out his mobile phone.

"Hey, Minzhenxi, I'm at the entrance to Shimayama Park, okay, then I'll wait for you there, okay, I'll see you later."

Guo Dahai came to An Changhao Memorial Hall on the one hand to express his depressed mood during this time, and on the other hand, to go to Xu Minzhen's appointment.

Walking eastward along Daoshan Park, about 300 meters away, Guo Dahai and Yin Shuhao entered a shop that mainly sells bread and coffee.

After ordering a cup of coffee and sitting down in the private room, after waiting for about 10 minutes, Xu Minzhen, who was wearing a professional attire, pushed open the door of the private room and walked in.

"Hello Councillor Kwok."

"Hello Minjungxi, what kind of coffee do you drink?"

"I'll just drink Americano."

Guo Dahai said to Yin Shuhao, "Secretary Yin, go and order a cup of American coffee for Minzhenxi."

"Yes."

Yin Shuhao got up and went out, and Xu Minzhen sat down opposite Guo Dahai.

"Do you want anything other than coffee?"

"No need."

Xu Minzhen said with a smile.

Soon, Yin Shuhao brought the coffee in, and then he took his coffee and waited outside.

"Minzhenxi, what do you want to talk about when you ask me out today?"

After being polite, Guo Dahai asked about business.

"Councillor Kwok, I deeply sympathize with what happened to you recently, but I believe you must not have done anything to be sorry for Yeon-so, right?"

"Did Yeon-su ask you to come to see me?"

Guo Dahai thought that it was inconvenient for Gu Yanxiu to come out, and Xu Minzhen was entrusted by her to see him.

"No, I'm coming to see you myself." ….

"Yourself? Excuse me, Minzhenxi, what are you asking me out for?"

"Councillor Kwok, I know that you are in a very difficult situation right now, but I believe that you can give you a way to get through this difficult time, even so, it will definitely not be good to fight alone, so if you need our help, we are willing to help you."

After talking to Xu Minzhen, Guo Dahai could feel that the depth of the other party's language was not comparable to Gu Yanxiu.

"Min-jeongxi, I said something unpleasant, even Yeon-so's father hasn't said anything to me at the moment, why did you suddenly offer to help me?"

"Councilor Guo, I have said twice from the beginning that I believe in you, and we are willing to help you at this time, so naturally we are optimistic that you can get out of this incident, is this reason okay?"

"Yes" Guo Dahai understood what the other party meant, Xu Minzhen was betting in advance, he smiled and said, "Minzhen Xi, I don't know what you want from me in the future?"

"Let's talk about the future, Councilor Kwok, can we become Parner?"

"Parner?"

"That's right, Parner."

"Minzhenxi, why do I always feel a little uneasy in my heart?"

"Why be upset? Are you worried that I'll sell you like that Kim representative?"

The other party's smiling appearance caused Guo Dahai to laugh along, "Min Zhenxi, we can cooperate, but we have to say the conditions first."

"What you want to say, Councilor Guo, is, 'Let's talk about it first and then don't mess up, right?'"

"Oh? Minzhenxi, you actually know this?"

"Councillor Guo, I am also learning Chinese Chinese, and if nothing else, I will go to Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business in China to study for a period of time next year."

"Really?" Guo Dahai's face showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time, "I believe that knowing more about Hua Guo will be helpful to Minzhen Xi for your future career."

"That's what I thought, too."

With the emergence of common topics, the conversation between Guo Dahai and Xu Minzhen became a lot easier.

"Minzhenxi, let's go back to negotiating conditions."

"Okay, Councillor Kwok, our Amorepacific Group's products are all over the world, but the sales channel of our products in China has been blocked recently due to SD reasons, so I hope you will pay more attention to this aspect in the future, and we will talk about other aspects that require your help in the future?"

Xu Minzhen's conditions were not excessive, Guo Dahai nodded and said, "Yes."

"Is it okay for us at Amorepacific Group to pay for all your expenses for next year's local elections?"

Seo Min-jung wants to take care of all of Kwak's expenses in next year's local elections, which means that Kwak and Amorepacific Group will become the real Parner.

"I haven't gotten through the current hurdles, so how can I talk about next year's local elections."

"Councilor Guo, have you thought of any strategies to deal with this incident? Please feel free to ask us what you need from us."

"I haven't figured out the strategy yet, but I really need your help with one thing right now."

Now that a preliminary agreement has been reached with the other party, Guo Dahai no longer pretends to be polite.

"Yes, Councilor Guo, please speak." ….

"From what I've learned, it seems that this hearing will not be held in public, so I hope that Min Jung Xi will help you use public pressure to force the Special Ethics Committee to hold the hearing in a live format."

Judging from Guo Dahai's proposal, Xu Minzhen expected that the other party must have a countermeasure, otherwise he would not have made such an inconsequential request.

"Is that all?"

"Yes, during the public opinion campaign, Min Jung, you can organize a demonstration of my supporters*** to put pressure on the Blue House."

"I see what you mean."

"There are two live media, one is KBS and the other is AA."

KBS is live TV, while aa is live webcast, and the reason why Guo Dahai chose aa is because it has the reputation of being an independent media for citizens who are not swayed by power and capital.

"Okay."

In the end, Guo Dae gave Xu Minzhen the personal information of Kim Sun-young and Ewha Girl Lee So-young, "Kim Sun-young, Min-jung, you can send someone to find her directly, and Lee So-young needs the help of Secretary Zhuo in our office."

"Don't worry, Councilor Guo, I know what to do."

Xu Minzhen stood up, she took the initiative to stretch out her hand, Guo Dahai hesitated for two seconds and then reached out to shake the other party's hand.

……

As the time for the hearing approached, the Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) knew that the matter was at stake, and the supporters of Kwak Dae, led by Park Won-soon, demanded that the party leader Moon win convene a special party meeting in order to reach a consensus within the party.

Since the authenticity of the Guo Dahai incident could not be determined, after deliberations between Party leader Wen and Li Luoyuan, Yu Xianghu, and Ding Shijun, they decided to hold a party meeting after the hearing to discuss whether to support Guo Dahai to remain in the National Assembly.

Seo Min-jung supported Kim Sun-young behind the scenes by providing funds to organize Guo Dae's supporters to take to the streets***, and their slogan was "refuse **** and demand that the hearing be open and transparent".

On the other side, students from Ewha Women's University, including Seoul National University, Yonsei University, Korea University, and some high school students in the Seoul area, also participated, demanding that the hearings be conducted under the supervision of the media and the public.

After deliberation and decision by the Congressional Special Committee on Ethics, they announced that the hearing would be broadcast live on KBS, MBea, and other media.

The day before the hearing, Guo Dahai and Min Gengxu consulted each other about witnesses attending the hearing.

During the hearing, Kwak Dae Dae and Min Kyung-wook agreed that they would apply for a total of six witnesses to attend the hearing, including Kim Dong-won, vice president of Hanwha Life Corporation, Kim Shin-yeon, representative of Hanwha cheerleaders, Lee Ha-yun, team leader, Kim Yeon-jeong, team leader, Oh Dae-gwan, prosecutor of the Daejeon District Public Prosecutors' Office, and Choi Mi-kyung, president of DSP Entertainment.

Seodaemun-gu, Seoul

Hua Ling Japanese restaurant, Guo Dahai and Jin Yiqian met here to discuss things.

"Councilor Guo, why don't you choose to do Zheng Youla earlier, so that you can share some of the pressure of public opinion."

Jin Yiqian didn't expect that Guo Dahai would ask him out to discuss Zheng Youla's matter at this critical juncture, and the time was still the morning after the hearing. ….

"At this time, the incident of Chung Yo-la is meaningless, it will only make the people feel that our move is a counterattack against the Blue House, on the contrary, after the hearing, as long as I can clear their name of the accusation of framing me, then the incident of Chung Yo-la will have a sensational effect."

"Are you really sure you'll be able to overturn their charges at tomorrow's hearing?"

Judging from the existing evidence, Guo Dahai has little chance of turning the tables.

"I guess I can."

Although Guo Dahai said this on the surface, Jin Yiqian saw a confident smile on his face.

"Councillor Kwok, I went to meet with the party leader yesterday, and judging from his words, he seems to believe that you are framed by the Blue House."

"I hope the party leader can give me enough support."

"Once the outcome of the hearing is favorable to you, Councillor Guo, I am sure that the party leader will definitely give you his full support at that time."

"That's the best, Reporter Kim, please bother more about reporting on Zheng Youla."

"Councilor Guo, you have been forced to do this for the sake of Zheng Youla's matter, and I will naturally spare no effort to report Zheng Youla's affairs to the people."

Guo Dahai picked up his glass and said, "Reporter Jin, I toast you."

"Thank you, tomorrow's hearing, I am waiting for your good news, Councillor Guo."

"Okay."

August 26th

The hearing began at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, before Guo Dahai and the members of the auxiliary left group in his office worked together to sort out the materials for the hearing.

Beginning at 9 o'clock in the morning, from time to time, members of the auxiliary left group of other congressmen's affairs offices came to inquire about Sun Chenghao and others, and everyone waited and saw how Guo Dahai would turn the tables at the hearing.

"Are you all ready?"

At one o'clock in the afternoon, before preparing to go to the National Assembly Political Hall, Guo Dahai asked everyone.

"Yes, it's all set."

Zheng Haican and the others nodded in affirmation.

"Okay, let's go."

Guo Dahai took the lead in walking out, and the group walked on the way to the National Assembly and Political Hall.

The hearing was held in a conference room in the National Assembly's political hall, where KBS and MBeD were already in place, their machines set up at the gate and on both sides of the left and right walls, and there were about a dozen staff members who came to broadcast the live broadcast alone.

The tables and chairs in the conference room are arranged in a rectangular shape, but there are no desks and chairs near the door of the conference room, and there are two desks and chairs in the middle of the conference room, and the business card on the table reads 'Stenographer,'.

When Kwak arrived at the hearing, he found that Baek Jae-hyun, chairman of the Ethics Special Committee, and other members of the Ethics Committee had already been present.

As the chairman of the Special Committee on Ethics, Baek Jae-hyun sat on the chairman's seat, and next to him were National Assembly Speaker Chung Se-kyun, New National Party's representative Chung Jin-suk, Democratic Party's representative Woo Sang-ho, and People's Party's representative Park Ji-won.

The purpose of Ding Se-kyun and others is only to show the fairness of the hearing, and they have no right to interfere with the decision of the special ethics committee headed by Baek Jae-hyun.

"Chairman Bai, can you start?"

Jung Jin-seok asked Baek Jae-hyun.

Baek Jae-hyun looked at Kwak Dae and the others standing at the door, and he said with the microphone, "Please come in and sit down the lawmakers who are attending the hearing today, the hearing is about to begin."

After Guo Dahai entered the conference room, he sat in the middle of the row on the right, Zheng Haican and Sun Chenghao sat on Guo Dahai's left and right, and the rest of the auxiliary left regiment all stood behind them.

Sitting across from Guo Dahai were all members of the Special Ethics Committee and Min Gengxu, who was in charge of questioning Guo Dahai at the hearing.
