chapter 20
20. 24 Hours
Only at times like this is it really fast.
Lee Soo-ho’s mother, Lee So-jin, looked at the greeting order given to her with a very confused expression.
[Inspector Lee So-jin’s order to release her post]
… In fact, it was foreseeable from the beginning.
If she hadn’t handed over 30 billion to her son, she would not have been removed from her position, but much worse. Because Lee So-jin was the main character who made the most overwhelming profit among the 7 short sellers. She’s more than the other six people combined.
Of course, the dismissal of her position did not end there. Sooner or later, it will be referred to the Central Disciplinary Committee.
The grounds for disciplinary action are probably violation of the code of conduct related to virtual assets and violation of the duty to maintain dignity.
It was not surprising that he was given a severe punishment because he violated several business guidelines distributed by the Blue House to each ministry. Discipline is not a problem now, but the thought of receiving the first discipline in her life made me feel bitter.
‘At least more than demotion.’
Anyway, if her career was about Lee So-jin’s, it was the same whether she was demoted or dismissed.
In her heart, she wants to resign before being disciplined, but she can’t. It was because if she did, she might be in more danger.
A person who resigned and fell into a relationship that was completely disconnected, a person who has a slim chance of making a comeback even though he has been released from his position.
It was a big difference in terms of personal safety. It was an efficient decision to accept humiliation even in order to guarantee a minimum level of safety.
‘For the time being, it’s okay to live like a rat.’
Although the public’s attention was focused on Kwon Ye-Sol thanks to her son’s political quality, Lee So-Jin was also criticized.
An incumbent police officer who made 30x high-risk investments through virtual asset funds. It wasn’t strange even if she was stoned by a coiner on the way. In the first place, Lee So-jin was a legend in the intern community, so there was no recognition at all.
I’d rather stay at home.
However, it seemed that it would not be easy for her to stay at home.
“Suho Mom.”
Within a day or two, her rapidly emaciated husband appeared.
Right after her son’s blow, her husband seemed to be having a hard time.
Not too long ago, she liked that her son became a member of the National Assembly, but then suddenly fell into abyss. It must have been more difficult for her because she was a soft person.
Even the news of her dismissal had not yet been delivered. I was worried about how to open the door to lessen the shock of that person.
But then, unexpectedly, my husband took the lead.
“I heard you were dismissed from your position.”
“How long has it been since she dropped the personnel order?”
“It would be obvious to say that they are the people I meet on a regular basis. Myung-Hwan Cho… No, my husband, the head of the police department at the Seoul Metropolitan Government, told me via text message. On the surface, he seemed worried, but it’s obvious why he told me. It felt like they were mocking us.”
… Originally, it was normal for police husbands to get along with each other. In each region, there is a friendly meeting called the Executive Husband Association. My husband often took part in it too, making kimchi together and helping the less fortunate.
A miserable situation in which he was rather hurt because of the network he cultivated.
Lee So-jin dropped her head, unable to bear to look at her husband’s face.
“But maybe short selling… Did Suho ask you to do it?”
“What?”
“The timing is too tight for him. If it hadn’t been agreed in advance, you wouldn’t have handed over the money without hesitation, and Suho wouldn’t have been able to handle the large amount of money on his own. It was something Suho asked me to do, really?”
Doubt that the person who asked for the short sale was his son.
It wasn’t out of the blue. Because Suho’s attitude, who is now plastering the news, was overly confident. In a way, he can be said to be the son of a sinner, but he was stirring up public opinion. It was thanks to him cleverly using 30 billion won.
‘According to what he said, am I being packaged as a mother who took risks for my son?’
I wanted to say yes to her husband.
She didn’t want to confess to the fact that she made a risky investment that could be a nuisance to her son in order to spend a prosperous old age.
But… This time, she couldn’t blame her son.
It wasn’t because of remorse. Here, he just felt that if he lied again, he couldn’t fix it. I couldn’t handle the karma accumulated so far, but I couldn’t add more.
It’s hard, but it’s right to be honest now.
“That, honey.”
He paused while opening his mouth.
It was more difficult than I thought to tell the truth without adding or subtracting. She was afraid of what her husband would look at after learning the truth about short selling. Her public life was also in crisis, and she had no confidence to endure her husband’s resentment.
‘I never thought I would fall to this point.’
At this moment, her life was going downhill. It was a sharp decline, reminiscent of Manacoin.

At the same time, the Peace Party’s representative office.
“CEO. Despite the news of her mother’s dismissal, Congressman Lee Su-ho doesn’t seem to be shaken at all. It seemed like he didn’t even care…. Rather.”
“Rather, what?”
“I just set up a timer on my social media account. That 24 hour time limit. We only have 13 hours left.”
At the report of Chief Secretary Kim Min-ji, CEO Park Ha-sun’s face was greatly distorted.
The beginning of the school opening was very stressful. She was on edge because of what a bastard named Suho Lee had done.
If everything worked out as planned, Suho Lee and his mother would have been serving as bullet fodder by now. Originally, Park Ha-sun was planning to conceive of the next plan while hiding from the topic. However, due to a twist, this side was rather on the defensive.
Of course, Park Ha-sun wasn’t just dazed.
She
She tried every way she could.
They pressured the police to release Suho Lee’s mother from her position in a very short time, and mobilized a wealth of personal connections to even spread the rumor that “Suho Lee neglected his parents’ short selling despite knowing in advance.” Even now, he was robbing Lee Suho’s surroundings.
… But all that struggle was surprisingly unresponsive.
“CEO. I’m sorry, but no one is interested in short selling right now. Everyone is busy guessing where Kwon Ye-sol is.”
“Huh.”
To think that Choseon would have such an accident, even with a man. I wondered what kind of environment he grew up in.
I wanted to retaliate right away.
But now, people’s attention is focused on Lee Suho. Touching him at this point was a handshake of handshakes. If that happened, it would look like Park Ha-sun herself was protecting Kwon Ye-sol (although that’s true). Eventually he had to find another way out.
And the method was already decided.
“CEO. It would be better to let Kwon Ye-sol return to Korea at this point. They urge them to voluntarily cooperate with the prosecution’s investigation.”
Inducing return home. At first glance, it was self-harm itself. The moment Kwon Ye-sol’s mouth opens, there are not just one or two people who will get hurt.
Park Ha-sun herself, who received more than 15 billion won, and high-ranking officials of the party and government office who received generous hospitality through her introduction.
It was difficult to count the personnel who were indirectly involved in this. There were many juniors whom Park Ha-sun made money envelopes or took care of as donations for splitting.
However, Kwon Ye-sol cannot be stolen forever. It might have been better to bring it to Korea and manage it.
‘Well, Kwon Ye-sol’s stuff can’t escape punishment anyway. I’m sure you know.’
Upon returning to Korea, the prosecution will formally file a case, and they will issue a summons and an arrest warrant as soon as possible. If you didn’t write a warrant with your feet, the judge would also take notice of public opinion and arrest you.
Up until this point, it was a set procedure. After being restrained like that, if she was thoroughly isolated, she could manage to prevent Ye-Sol Kwon from brushing her mouth recklessly.
Of course, the prosecution’s investigation is not something Park Ha-sun can control at will, but… Fortunately, there were quite a few kids who accepted it in the legal profession. It would be enough to drive Kwon Ye-sol to use her poison while coordinating the interests with them in an appropriate line.
“CEO. You have to make a decision.”
“I know. If you procrastinate, things will get worse.”
Good. Let’s return home from here.
Currently, Kwon Ye-sol is in Malaysia.
Her mana Until right before her collapse, she had been staying in Singa Rope and had moved her residence in a hurry. She was now hiding in a pool villa in a secluded resort. Although she lives a very luxurious life for her hiding place.
Park Ha-sun was planning to bring Kwon Ye-sol back to Korea by mobilizing her connections in the local Korean community.
‘It’s only right to put someone who can’t run away first and calm them down over the phone.’
Park Ha-sun gave instructions to the locals, “Run to Kwon Ye-sol right away.”
It won’t be easy to appease Kwon Ye-sol. But she was surprisingly stupid that year too, so if she calmed down well, she might be able to return home. If I calm her down by saying that all legal issues will be cleared after 3-4 years of living, she will turn the happy circuit on her own.
After that, an anxious wait followed for several hours.
The time limit announced by Suho Lee is only 6 hours away. Finally, an executive of the local Korean association following Park Ha-sun’s order called.
“Have you met? Change Kwon Ye-sol right away.”
However, the answer that came back was different from what was expected.
“That… Represent Park Ha-sun? Not here.”
“What?”
“That means Kwon Ye-sol has disappeared. I don’t know exactly when she left. She paid her staff here and asked them to spy on her Kwon Ye-Sol, and she was betrayed. Maybe Kwon Ye-sol bought her role… What do you think of this?”
It disappeared. Apparently, I had a messenger conversation with that thing yesterday as well, but until then, Ye-Sol Kwon vowed to stay in Malaysia as if she were dead… Park Ha-sun, who had muttered until, belatedly realized the reality and drool.
Ye-Sol Kwon.
Perhaps Lee Suho took it out as soon as he started playing around. It was the moment when the already messy situation fell into the worst pit.
