The reason given by the prosecution is that Ahn Jong-beom had demanded a bribe of 600 million won from the Daelim Group on behalf of the Mir consortium when he was the former chief secretary of the economy, and that Daelim Group became the construction company for the Seoul-Sejong Expressway project after donating 600 million won to him.

Li Junyi has more than 10 years of working experience in Daelim Group, and after Daelim Group donated 600 million yuan to the Mir Foundation, Li Junyi was appointed as the new chairman of the Mir Foundation.

Although Ahn Jong-beom, who was arrested, repeatedly denied that he had no connection with Choi Soon-sil, prosecutors found out from the bank records of the Mir consortium that at least 10 billion won of the Mir consortium's funds had flowed into an account opened by a South Korean in Germany, and it just so happened that the country Choi Soon-sil frequented was Germany.

The prosecutor continued to follow up the investigation with this clue, and in the face of pressure from the media and the prosecutor, Choi Soon-sil, who couldn't sit still, secretly flew back to South Korea from Germany on October 1 to discuss countermeasures with Woo Shanwoo and others.

Mapo-gu, Seoul

Early in the morning, after returning to South Korea, Choi Shuyuan took a car to her three-star apartment in Hangang in Mapo District to rest, and she planned to rest for half a day before going to the Blue House to meet with Woo and others.

As a former national representative, Gao Yongtai has the habit of running in the morning every day in order to maintain his figure, and the morning jog with him is his new girlfriend who met at the gym a few days ago.

After running around the periphery of the community twice, Gao Yongtai and his girlfriend walked hand in hand towards the gate of the community.

"Gao Yongtai."

Suddenly, Gao Yongtai heard someone shouting his name, and the voice sounded very familiar.

Gao Yongtai fixed his eyes and saw that the person standing at the gate of the community was actually Cui Shuyuan, and he hurriedly trotted forward and said with a smile, "You are back."

"Ah, the rumors out there are so bad, are you still in the mood to come out for a run?"

Saying that, Cui Shuyuan found that the woman standing next to Gao Yongtai was not the person she had seen before, and she was already in a bad mood, and she instantly became angry and said, "Where did you find a *** to serve you?" Do you only think about women every day?"

18 Gao Yongtai was like a child who had made a mistake in front of 15 Cui Shuyuan, even if he heard Cui Shuyuan scolding his little girlfriend for being ***, Gao Yongtai still dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, he could only bow and apologize honestly and say, "I'm sorry."

Unexpectedly, Cui Shuyuan didn't stop there, she walked straight to Gao Yongtai's little girlfriend, her eyes glared at each other, she reached out and slapped her little girlfriend's face and scolded, "Dog, you get out of me immediately."

The little girlfriend glanced at the indifferent Gao Yongtai, she walked over and yelled at him, "Ah, are you still a man?"

"West ......" Gao Yongtai poured his anger on his girlfriend, "You get out of here."

"Xiba, you're such a wreck."

The little girlfriend turned around and ran to the side of the road to stop a taxi, and Gao Yongtai had to watch him go away in the car.

"Come in with me."

Cui Shuyuan walked in front, and Gao Yongtai forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and followed behind her.

"Keep up."

Entering the community, Cui Shuyuan found that Gao Yongtai did not follow, she stopped and turned around and yelled at him.

"Yes."

Gao Yongtai hurriedly trotted up and walked side by side with Cui Shuyuan. ….

"Things are getting more and more troublesome now, you and Enze are also involved in the affairs of the Mir Consortium, wait until I go to discuss with Chief Yu and them today, and see if I will let you and Enze go abroad to hide for a while."

When Cui Shuyuan spoke, Gao Yongtai listened absentmindedly, and he nodded perfunctorily and said, "Yes, I will listen to your orders."

"I'll go home and rest for a while, and you'll have less dealings with those indiscriminate women in the future, you know?"

"Yes, I see."

Sending Choi Soon-sil back to his home, Gao Yong-tae took the elevator upstairs and returned to his home, he sat on the sofa and thought about it alone for a while, just now Choi Soon-sil asked him and Cha Eun-taek to go abroad to hide.

"Hey, Brother Enze."

Gao Yongtai called Che Enze.

"Well, what's wrong?"

"Brother Enze, Ms. Cui came back just now."

"I know, what?"

"She just said that if the Mir Consortium involved the two of us, she wanted us to hide abroad for a while."

"Really? Are you going abroad?"

"Yes, if the prosecution is going to investigate us, going abroad might be a good option, right?"

"Hehe" Unexpectedly, Che Enze on the other end of the phone sneered and said, "You go, I won't go."

"Why? Why don't you go?"

"Ah, are you an idiot? Who will ensure our personal safety when we go abroad? Especially in Southeast Asia, I don't know how many people die every day."

Although Cha Eun-taek snatched it from Gao Yongtai's hands, Choi Soon-sil, the relationship between the two of them is still the same as before.

"Brother, are you saying that if we go abroad, will she be bad for us?"

"I didn't say that, I was just worried that it wouldn't be safe to be abroad."

"That's right."

"If you don't have anything else to do, I'll hang up first."

"Yes, goodbye, brother."

"Okay."

Gao Yongtai, who hung up the phone, was nervous, and he prayed in his heart that the prosecution would not find out about him.

On October 5, Chosun Ilbo reported on an interview with Lee Sung-han, former secretary general of the Mir Foundation, in which he said, "In addition to Choi Su-won, the Mir Foundation has two important figures who have a close relationship with Choi Shu-won, namely Ko Yong-tae, who won the fencing championship at the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok, and former CF director Cha Eun-taek, who has multiple identities such as a member of the Cultural Prosperity Council directly under the president, the head of the Creative Economy Promotion Group, and the head of the Cultural Creation and Integration Headquarters."

The Chosun Ilbo concluded by saying, "For reference, Ko Yong-tae and Choi Shu-won met at an entertainment venue in Gangnam-gu, and they met in the middle of 2000, after which in 2014 Ko Yong-tae introduced Cha Eun-taek to Choi Shu-won, and Lee Sung-han entered the Mir consortium through Cha Eun-taek's relationship."

"Xiba, this Li Chenghan is really a madman."

After reading the report on the website, Gao Yongtai was so angry that he walked back and forth in the room.

"Hey."

Gao Yongtai decided to call Li Chenghan and ask why the other party broke the news about him and Cha Eunze.

"Hey."

"Ah, how can you say that in the report." ….

Gao Yongtai asked angrily.

"President Gao, I can't do this either."

"Has anyone threatened you?"

"That's right."

"Who dares to threaten you?"

"It's Cui Shuyuan himself."

"She? How could she threaten you?"

Gao Yongtai failed to understand what the other party meant.

"President Gao, Cui Shuyuan kicked me out of the Mir consortium, of course I have to explain to the prosecution truthfully for my own safety, otherwise I don't know what Cui Shuyuan will do to me."

"She's the one in power now, and you're only going to anger her by doing that."

"President Gao, we reported Choi Shuwon's incident to Chosun Ilbo together, do you think she doesn't know? Let me tell you this, although Cui Shuyuan holds power, as long as we can get the protection of the opposition party, she has no way to take us."

"Have you negotiated terms with the opposition parties?"

"No, I mean it's impossible for the opposition parties not to protect me, an important witness."

Gao Yongtai didn't know what to say for a while, and Li Chenghan on the other end of the phone seized the opportunity and said, "President Gao, our last action was already known to Cui Shuyuan, and the reason why she didn't make a fuss about you was completely because she didn't make such a big deal like today at that time, and President Gao, you and Brother Enze must have different statuses for Cui Shuyuan, right?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Gao Yongtai has long accepted the fact that Cha Eun-taek has replaced his position in Cui Shuyuan's heart, but he is unwilling to admit it to outsiders.

"When I first broke the news about Cui Shuyuan, she wanted to trick me into going abroad, did she tell President Gao that?"

Abroad?

Remembering what Cui Shuyuan had said to him before, Gao Yongtai suddenly felt a chill in his back, and he denied it, "No."

"I wouldn't be stupid enough to sneak away from a foreign country without the best."

"Okay, Secretary Li, that's it, I'll hang up."

"Okay, President Gao, take care of yourself."

"I know."

At night, Gao Yongtai tossed and turned and had no intention of sleeping, and all he was thinking about was how to protect himself.

It is not uncommon to gain the protection of the opposition party like Lee Sung-han, but how do you get in touch with the opposition party?

After a night of careful consideration, Ko Yong-tae decided to go to Kim Yiqian, a reporter for North Korean TV, who had a relationship with him before.

The next day, Ko Yong-tae learned through some investigation that Kim Yi-kyun had been promoted to head of the political and social affairs editorial department of Chosun Ilbo a few days ago because of his meritorious work in covering the news of the Mir Consortium and the KSor Foundation, and Lee Sung-han's follow-up reports also had a great relationship with Kim Yiqian.

"Hey."

Guo Dahai, who was in the Congress, suddenly received a call from Jin Yiqian.

"Hey, Councilor Guo, you are really like a god, Gao Yongtai has contacted me today."

Let Li Chenghan come out and break the news that the matter of Gao Yongtai and Cha Eunze was actually Guo Dahai's idea, Jin Yiqian said with a little excitement.

"Really? That's good, it's up to you, Minister Kim."

"Don't worry, Councilor Guo, I know how to talk to him."

"Then I'll wait for your good news, Minister Kim." ….

When the media was overwhelmingly reporting on the incident of Cui Shuyuan and Zheng Youla's mother and daughter, Guo Dahai did not intervene in it on the surface except for his normal work in the Congress, and the last hearing was just his own job.

When he is not at work, Guo Dahai occasionally visits Park Duohui, who has made rapid progress in Chinese under Zhang Yuan's teaching.

Dobong-gu, Seoul

Kim Yiqian set the meeting place for Ko Yongtai at a Korean beef bone soup shop in Dobong-gu, Seoul's northernmost district, so that they could avoid detection, and because it was under the jurisdiction of the Seoul Northern District Prosecutor's Office, which was also relatively close to Kwak's constituency.

On the table in the private room are side dishes and a pot of Hanbeef bone broth where steaming hot Hanbeef bones, beef, offal and other vegetables are boiled.

Kim Yiqian and Ko Yongtai sat opposite each other, and this was the second time they had met.

"President Gao, long time no see."

"Yes, Minister Kim hasn't seen you for a long time."

"How are you doing?"

The smile on Kim Yiqian's face made Gao Yongtai suspect that the other party was laughing at him, and he smiled awkwardly and said, "Minister Kim, the latest news has been reported by your Chosun Ilbo, you should know my situation better than anyone else, right?"

"Yes, then President Gao, did you ask me to meet today to report on what was said?"

"Yes, it's really related to the report, but I'm more concerned about the prosecution's actions than the report, Minister Kim, do you know the situation on the prosecution's side?"

"President Gao, the news of the progress of the prosecution's case is announced through broadcasting companies such as KBS and MBC, and we have basically no contact with the prosecution."

The beef bone broth in the pot was boiling, and Kim Yiqian took a slice of beef and said, "President Gao, try the Korean beef here, it's delicious."

"Yes."

Gao Yongtai followed and picked up a slice of beef and ate it, and after eating two slices of beef, Jin Yiqian picked up a spoon and put the beef bone broth into the bowl.

The other party only cared about drinking soup and eating meat, Gao Yongtai said a little uncontrollably, "Minister Jin, Li Chenghan Ken came out to testify whether it is

Because there is some kind of agreement with you?"

"President Gao, what are you talking about, Li Chenghan voluntarily provided us with the news, besides, didn't you also come to us before this and said that you wanted to break the news about Cui Shuyuan, did we have any agreement with you at that time?"

Jin Yiqian's words made Gao Yongtai a little embarrassed, and he couldn't find an entry point to negotiate with the other party for the time being.

Seeing that the other party looked worried, Jin Yiqian put down his fast words and said, "President Gao, I know that you have been very troubled by the events reported by our club recently, but if I were you, I would definitely not sit still and wait for the prosecution to come to the door."

"Minister Kim, can you tell me what to do?"

"President Gao, isn't Lee Sung-han a living example?"

Gao Yongtai frowned and said, "Minister Jin, I don't quite understand what you mean, can you explain it in more detail?"

"President Gao, Lee Sung-han is the former secretary general of the Mir Foundation, and he must have been involved in asking for bribes from major companies, right? Now that he is willing to stand up and testify against Cui Shuyuan, even if the prosecution finds out about his crime in the future, he may also get a reduced sentence because of the identity of the tainted witness, and even if his crime is not serious, the possibility of him being given a suspended sentence is not impossible, President Gao, you say yes?"

After saying that, Jin Yiqian picked up the kuaizi again, he took a piece of beef bone from the pot into the bowl, and then he put on gloves and prepared to gnaw on the beef bone and suck the bone marrow in the cow bone.

When Kim Yiqian was gnawing on the cow bones, Gao Yongtai was still thinking about whether to turn into a tainted witness like Lee Sung-han.

"Minister Kim, if I become a tainted witness like Lee Sung-han, I am afraid that I will be retaliated against by Choi Shu-won, and it is not impossible to even lose my life."

"Our Republic of Korea is a democratic country, no one can do what they want, and there are opposition parties in addition to the ruling party, President Ko, do you think the opposition party will let Choi Su-won mess around?"
