Chapter 172: Impeachment, Truth, Action
Lin Wei has not yet been able to wait for Shi Dong to come out of the scenes, and the real murderer behind the scenes will be revealed.
Another big event broke out earlier than he imagined.
In his speech on the anniversary of the general reunification at the end of February, Lu Xuanwu once again brought into play his unique 'amateur nature' and said a controversial remark in front of the television station and in front of the entire people.
"I want all the people to vote for the ruling party as much as possible."
As soon as this remark came out, it attracted major media reports.
This may seem like no problem, but when you consider the upcoming parliamentary elections in April, which involve the contest for congressional seats, Lu's straightforward declaration immediately drew public protests from conservative opposition parties and their supporters.
As a president, how can you keep saying in front of a large public that you want the people to give you all the votes?
The Central Election Management Committee immediately ruled that Lu Xuanwu's words violated the election law, believing that his actions were unfair interference in the election.
Public opinion has just been hyped up, and another big melon suddenly popped up on the newspaper.
"Lu Xuanwu's brother is suspected of accepting illegal bribes from Daewoo Construction, and has been investigated by the prosecutor."
As soon as this news came out, at first glance, it seemed to be going to Lu Xuanwu's comments, but in fact, this was the first knife to Lu Xuanwu's illegal donation - first stirring up heat through big news such as bribery, and then pressing step by step at Lu Xuanwu's own illegal donation problem, layer upon layer, setting off the heat, Lin Wei is naturally familiar with this kind of operation.
However, this is not the end - when the media and reporters began to vaguely mention to Lu Xuanwu issues such as illegal donations, Lu Xuanwu was even more serious and said it confidently.
"This is a problem with the system of the South Korean Peninsula! All presidents will have the problem of illegal contributions, and if they don't, they won't be able to participate in the election, and if I collect one-tenth of the money Lee Minglang, I'll resign myself! β
Lu Xuanwu's words made Lin Wei not hold back, and he was happy when he looked at the newspaper, and this way of speaking and attitude even made him a little dazed for a while - in the next ten or twenty years, there will also be a politician with a similar style to him, and he will also be the future president of the United States.
His words also tore off the fig leaf that had always been on the South Korean Peninsula and exposed the corruption of the South Korean Peninsula election without concealment, but I have to say that his remarks have achieved miraculous results in the newspapers.
Conservatives and prosecutors only felt that Lu Xuanwu had a problem with his brain, and said such things, which made them overjoyed, thinking that it would make Lu Xuanwu's personal prestige lower to a higher level.
But in fact, Lin Wei got a rather interesting result through the newspaper's internal polls.
Despite the wavering of some neutral voters, for Lu's die-hard supporters, Mr. Lu's remarks strengthened their conviction that Mr. Lu was the man who could change the peninsula.
The reason is very simple - you all pretend that there is no such thing as illegal donations, only Lu Xuanwu will tell the public the truth of the facts, they are all adults, who doesn't know how many dirty places there are in this world?
How to elect without illegal donations! Since everyone is wrong, why should Lu Xuanwu be blamed?
If they really want to use this matter to attack Lu Xuanwu, then they will use this matter to attack Li Minglang!
Li Minglang, who has withdrawn from the election and has become an outcast and backstabber of the opposition party, is innocently lying on the gun - he has already borne all the responsibility for the election loss, and he has begun to retire, but he never thought that he would have a day when he would be on the hot spot in the newspapers.
Mr. Lu's supporters began petitioning to investigate Mr. Li's illegal donations, while Mr. Lu's opponents were interested in what prosecutors said in the newspaper that Mr. Lu's brother had taken bribes.
And after that, Lu Xuanwu was even more annoyed and bluntly said to the media: "Daewoo Construction's money has never reached my hands, and I have never taken Daewoo Construction's money, I don't know if they offer bribes, but if this is the case, I will personally order the problem to be dealt with in strict accordance with the law!"
No matter who is doing such a thing, as long as I find out who it is, I will make him pay! β
There was nothing wrong with that.
But if
Someone died because of it?
On March 11, the Seoul Daily immediately issued a shocking piece of news.
"Daewoo Construction's General Manager Nam Kook-sang committed suicide! The contents of the suicide note are exposed! γ
At 3 a.m. on March 11, Nam Kuo-sang, then general manager of Daewoo Construction and a key figure in the bribery case of President Lu's brother, committed suicide by jumping off a building, leaving only one sentence of apology for his wife and children in his suicide note.
There is no doubt that this sentence has pushed Lu Xuanwu to the forefront of public opinion again.
Many people are accusing that it was because of his words in the media that it led to the suicide of the minister of Nam Kook.
And what has left the South Korean Peninsula in turmoil is that in mid-March, Congress officially passed a presidential impeachment bill introduced by conservatives.
This is the first time in South Korea's history that an impeachment bill has been passed for a president, and Roh Hyun-moo has been suspended from his post while the current prime minister of the peninsula has been appointed interim president
"President Lin, what now?" Zhao Haixiong's voice was urgent.
"What to do?" Lin Wei said unhurriedly.
Zhao Haixiong lowered his voice: "They seem to be really going to be, did we choose the wrong one?" β
Lin Wei smiled faintly: "Regret it?" β
"How so!" Zhao Haixiong said wrongly.
Before the impeachment incident, Lin Wei told Zhao Haixiong that if you want to run for president, don't speak out in this incident.
Zhao Haixiong hesitated for a while, and finally chose to obey Lin Wei's orders and did not express his views on this impeachment incident.
But seeing that the bill has been passed, Lu Xuanwu has been kicked off the altar, and it is about to be the critical time for the change of Congress, Zhao Haixiong is very worried that he will not even be able to keep his position in the Congress.
"It's okay, remember, the opposition parties can't win this parliamentary election, and after the parliamentary election, President Lu will be reinstated.
I am afraid that half of the opposition parties that have been united this time will be dissolved and reorganized. β
Lin Wei's words were amazing, but Zhao Haixiong actually felt relieved.
Who is Lin Wei? Can he tell lies?
He called to ask for peace of mind and to ask what to do next.
"In that case, I'll keep a low profile for the time being. The look of those puppies and villains is really good, but they didn't contribute this time, and Councilor Park won't have an opinion, right? β
Zhao Haixiong asked.
Lin Wei laughed: "What opinion can she have?" When did the media not follow her actions and publish news? Didn't the Seoul Ilbo publicize the death of the minister of Nam Kook, could the impeachment bill be implemented so quickly?
Rest assured, there will be no change in the affairs of your Congressman, and it is precisely because you keep your mouth shut that your position as a Congressman will be secure this time.
I'll find someone on President Lu's side to implement it, and you won't have many negative votes. β
"That's good!" Zhao Haixiong perked up: "What about after that?" Is there anything you need me to do? β
"Of course, I found a way to get out," Lin Wei said lightly.
"Huh!?" Zhao Haixiong was stunned and stunned on the spot.
"What, no faith?" Lin Wei laughed.
Zhao Haixiong was a little speechless, and said nervously: "Get out!?" I? I'm just a small person in the opposition now, so I don't have any qualifications."
"Do you really think that the people care about candidates who have only two or three percent of the vote?
To put it bluntly, who we want to be president, and who we want the people to understand, isn't it all up to us?
There's only one thing you have to deal with, and that's to make Congressman Park think you're the best candidate. β
Lin Wei's words were calm.
And Zhao Haixiong couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "But compared to me"
"Are you trying to say that Zhang Bizhou and Li Biming are better choices?" Lin Wei chuckled twice.
Cho Hae-woong snorted β he had only recently arrived in Seoul from Busan, and as a newcomer to the power center players, he was not the best candidate for prestige or connections.
Choosing him as the object of support is probably not a wise choice.
It's not that he is unhappy, with Lin Wei's support, which parliamentarian wouldn't be ecstatic? It's just that Zhao Haixiong is worried that there will be some big trouble.
Lin Wei just said lightly: "Zhang Bizhou already has supporters, I'm not interested in getting involved in doing a small role, and I don't like what Li Biming does, even if he has a chance to become president, I will ruin him." β
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Haixiong was shocked, and then, Lin Wei's words made him feel even colder.
"Coincidentally, now I also need you to do something - find out who Li Biming's friend is, build a good relationship with his friend, and whether you can successfully become a dark horse in the election at that time depends on how much of his inheritance you can absorb this time."
After Lin Wei finished speaking, Zhao Haixiong said in disbelief: "He is. What has been done to you? β
"Don't ask, do your thing."
Lin Wei's words were a little indifferent and arrogant, but Zhao Haixiong also took it for granted, he sighed, and then said in high spirits: "No problem, I am quite familiar with the people around Councilor Li Biming, and I know who he comes into contact with, if he loses power, I just need to hint that I have your support for those guys, and I don't have to worry that they don't take the initiative to get closer." β
Lin Wei hummed, said a few words, and hung up the phone.
Why did he take the initiative to abandon the candidate recommended for him by Councilor Park?
There are two reasons for this.
First, because Li Biming is an outsider in the end.
Second, it is because Li Biming may have something to do with Shi Dongchu's death.
After nearly a month of investigation, the once confusing clues finally have a complete context in the piecework step by step.
The real culprit behind this incident is, to be precise, not one person, or even the same lineup.
First of all, when it comes to Cheng Daojun's attack, we must talk about why he attacked Shi Dongchu in a near-suicidal way.
Because he had to die β and the reason he had to die was because of an illegal donation of 130 million.
130 million is a big number for ordinary people, but for Lin Wei or the word illegal donation, it is a little thin.
But why did this become the last straw that crushed Cheng Daojun?
It is precisely because of the final flow of this 130 million that it is the money that Lu Xuanwu's brother took bribes!
In other words, the money that Cheng Daojun washed away was not for Lu Xuanwu, but for Lu Xuanwu's brother.
And the reason why he was stopped from investigating because of this money was because the funders behind the money sensed that something was wrong and found out that the prosecution was investigating illegal donations and wanted the strong man to break his wrist.
And who is behind this money?
It was a decision made jointly by the senior management of several real estate companies - they had no level to involve the presidential election, so they couldn't help but use their crooked brains, trying to find a breakthrough from Lu Xuanwu's relatives, and bribing Lu Xuanwu's brother to try to use Lu Xuanwu's presidential status for their own interests.
But that's where the problem arises.
They want to kill their mouths, since this is the case, then Cheng Daojun only needs to commit suicide, why would he drive Shi Dongchu to kill him accurately?
That's the crux of the matter.
In the investigation, Lin Wei found that the top executives of the construction company were supporters of Congressman Li Biming, who is relatively popular among conservatives today.
His first reaction was that Li Biming and Shi Dongchu had some conflicts, and he would do what he planned and simply solved Shi Dongchu with an outcast.
And after the investigation, the answer turned out to be true.
Shi Dongchu and Li Biming do have contradictions and conflicts.
Li Biming comes from the top management of Sanxing and has served as a key member of the management of several chaebol groups, but he was originally a lawyer.
And he is a barrister who has a long-standing grudge with Shi Dongchu - before Shi Dongchu established Kinmen, he launched a lawsuit against Shi Dongchu, who was then the leader of the Tiger faction, causing Shi Dongchu to briefly eat three years in prison.
After Shi Dongchu took office in Kinmen, he has always been very close to the Future Group, and the relationship with the Capital Daily is not simple, and the Capital Daily and the Future Group are the backers of Li Biming's biggest competitor Zhang Bizhou.
If you follow this line to think, piece together, and speculate, then the final answer is
The supporters behind Li Biming found out that the prosecutor was investigating illegal donationsβ began to try to destroy the traces to avoid bribing Lu Xuanwu's brother, and the East Window incident β asked Cheng Daojun to commit suicide to extinguish his mouthβ Li Biming noticed that the matter was pushed down the river, understanding the old grievances and hitting the depth of the competitor's lineup.
Lin Wei and the Future Group and the Capital Daily are not the same pants, he and the Capital Daily can even be said to be incompatible by nature, and it is a situation where the two tigers are competing.
With him taking over Kinmen, it means that Zhang Bizhou will lose a big boost.
Moreover, because Cheng Daojun is in the company of An Shangjiu, the black glove under Li Jiangxi, the editor-in-chief of the Capital Daily, in a sense, he is a member of An Shangjiu's gang, and it is very likely that Lin Wei thinks that he is Li Jiangxi's hand, so he sow discord between the two parties.
The two people with the highest voices in the conservatives are Zhang Bizhou and Li Biming, without the option of Zhang Bizhou, Lin Wei will naturally take the initiative to contact Li Biming, and at that time, Li Biming will have Lin Wei as a general without much effort, and at that time, Lin Wei will not only be the president of Seoul, but also the president of Kinmen.
But is that really the case?
After Lin Wei analyzed and guessed through intelligence, he thought that although Li Biming, the real culprit behind the scenes, was a major suspect, it was impossible for one person not to know about it.
That person was Li Jiangxi of the Capital Daily.
Although there was no real hammer and no clear information about the intelligence, Lin Wei pieced together some clues by himself and made bold guesses.
Cheng Daojun is the general manager of Innovation Construction, that is, a member of the black glove An Shangjiu under Li Jiangxi.
As one of the ways of money laundering for An Shangjiu, his subordinates must be firmly controlled by An Shangjiu, the gang leader, and even if there is a problem, I am afraid that the clues will be found.
Lin Wei believes that it was An Shangjiu who noticed the problem of his subordinates in time, or simply Cheng Daojun took the initiative to confess and beg him for help, and after he reported the matter to Li Jiangxi, it finally led to Shi Dongchu's death.
Why did Lee Kang-hee do this?
First of all, Cheng Daojun had to die, since he was a mortal person, with Li Jiangxi's character, of course, it was best to use this dead man to play some unexpected effects.
So what good will Shi Dongchu's death do to Li Jiangxi?
At first glance, it seems that there is no benefit, and it may even help Lin Wei to master the Golden Gate Group faster, wish him a good momentum, and let himself lose a good friend.
You must know that Shi Dongchu has always had a good relationship with Capital Daily and Future Group.
However, this must be based on one thing - that is, Shi Dongchu will not abdicate.
If Shi Dongchu abdicates and makes way for Xian, with Lin Wei as the chairman, then it is very likely that the Golden Gate Group will turn from an ally to a competitor!
If Lin Wei successfully integrated the Golden Gate, coupled with the power he possessed. Li Jiangxi will inevitably find it very tricky.
And once Shi Dongchu dies, the process that might have been done step by step is very likely to have twists and turns.
The first was the riots within the Golden Gate.
Li Zhongjiu has disappeared in a low-key manner for a long time now, Lin Wei doesn't think that he is admitting defeat, and must be preparing to launch a desperate counterattack against him.
In Li Jiangxi's view, the fight between gangsters, who lives and who dies depends on the right time, place and people, even Lin Wei, it is impossible to say a word of victory.
Even if Lin Wei wins, once the bloodshed is too big, he can logically buckle Lin Wei's hat and dig deep into the background of Kinmen to expose the darkness of Kinmen.
The most important thing is - it is impossible for Li Jiangxi not to know who is behind Cheng Daojun.
Li Biming.
As long as Lin Wei continues to investigate, he will inevitably find that Li Biming is suspected of not escaping in this incident.
In the absence of a stone hammer, can Lin Wei still choose to cooperate with Li Biming, who may have killed Shi Dongchu?
Lin Wei thinks that if he can't, he will be very unhappy in his heart, and the people below will also question him for being immoral.
I'm afraid that Li Jiangxi, who knows something about him, also thinks so.
Even if it is difficult to avoid the cooperation between Lin Wei and Li Biming in the end, he will bury a nail for Lin Wei, so that there will always be some unhappiness between the two.
Anyway, for Li Jiangxi, he just made an effort in one sentence - Cheng Daojun is dead both horizontally and vertically, why can't he die more valuable?
That's about it.
Shi Dongchu's death and the two people involved are all difficult guys.
The traces of the other party are handled very cleanly, with the deepening of the prosecution's investigation, Daewoo Construction Nan Guoxiang committed suicide, and the clues of Lu Xuanwu's brother's bribery case were completely interrupted, the prosecutor could not find the person behind Nan Xiangguo, Lu Xuanwu wanted to retaliate, I am afraid he could not find a clear object, and Shi Dongchu's death naturally became the truth that can never be found.
The only ones left were two possible suspects.
But Lin Wei felt it
That's enough.
Why does he have to find the truth before he retaliates?
Why can't he?
Let them all die?
Lin Wei played with the cute little pendant given to him by Liu Yun'er on his mobile phone, and after a while, he threw the phone aside, looked at the time, sat up, and sorted out his clothes in front of the mirror.
A dark black suit hugged his body, and a black tie hung over a muscularly white shirt without wrinkles.
A medium-length hair looks casual, but in fact, it has been carefully managed and cut, and the back of the head is fixed with hair wax, so that he looks both uninhibited and a little sharp, but not too frivolous.
According to Lin Wei's image designer, he is already young, deliberately pretending to be old, but it is not distinctive, and now this appearance, with his already marked and slightly sharp facial lines, will make him look more oppressive, but it looks more in line with his young president's feeling.
Lin Wei didn't know if what the designer said was right, but at least he and Mu Xianmin were quite satisfied, and that was enough.
After taking a closer look at the mirror, there was a knock on the door.
Yin Xuanyou opened the door a little nervously.
"President Nim, it's time to go."
Lin Wei hummed lightly, finally looked at the person in the mirror, and after practicing a gentle and bright smile, he turned his head and went out.
Downstairs of the Jiangnan office building, black cars are almost lined up on the street, and many people are curious to take pictures of this exaggerated scene with their mobile phones, and there are many discussions.
More than a dozen strong men in black suits surrounded Lin Wei and escorted him into the car, and then quickly got into the front and rear vehicles, and the convoy drove towards the office building in Kinmen.
Today is the day of the board meeting.
If nothing else, after a short meeting, Lin Wei will officially become the president of Kinmen.
But. How could it not be unexpected?
Lin Wei took out his mobile phone, looked at the content of the flashing text message on the phone, and sighed for a while.
Yin Xuanyou, who was sitting on one side, had a nervous expression: "Is it Secretary Zhao's news?" β
"Hmm." Lin Wei put down his phone, looked out the window, watched for a long time, and also sent two text messages.
Yin Xuanyou sighed: "Why can't President Li Zhongjiu look away a little?"
"Some people live for glory and wealth, some people live for their families, some people just for their own happiness, and some people. To live is to breathe. β
Lin Wei said softly, his expression was slightly complicated, he sighed, but he also looked at the scenery outside the window with some regret, and said lightly: "Some people are destined to die on the way to the heights - the only one who is the only one will also die of loneliness." β
Yin Xuanyou was silent for a moment, but couldn't help but nod in some agreement, and muttered: "Die of loneliness. That's right. β
What is loneliness?
Those who have attained the Tao have much help, those who have lost the Tao have little help, and those who are lonely. Helpless.
Cha Tae-sik pressed one hand to the earphone in his ear, listened patiently, and then quickly reported the situation.
"Li Zhongjiu has started to act, and it is currently in line with the prediction of Plan A."
"Well, let's do it."
"Yes."
Cha Tae-sik softly agreed and pressed the button on the walkie-talkie.
"Plan A, let's get moving."
