Gender Reversal Politics - Chapter 62



62. The hilt

If Seoyeong Yuk’s plan had succeeded, what would have happened?

It was a question that naturally came to mind when Yuk Seo-young stared blankly at this side while holding the round knotted rope.

If that was true, it would have had a huge headwind against me.

『”In the end, even people died while being crazy about cider.” Creation of self-reliant public opinion

Articles like this should have popped up.

“We have to stop this crazy exorcism, Congressman Suho Lee! How many people have to die to be satisfied? To be honest, I felt that something was going wrong from the moment I put up the bounty, but at that time I was afraid of the frenzy of the manacoin crisis, so I couldn’t bear to open my mouth. The incumbent Constitutional Court judge died because of your ruthless knife intoxicated with popularity… !”

There must have been people talking nonsense like this. Clearly.

Perhaps someone would come out to dispute the 24 billion won, which had not been a problem until now, and the proceeds from the short sale that were recently incorporated into my property. It is on this floor that even the weak points that have already been resolved are excavated once again.

Just imagining it wasn’t terrible. How did you manage to fix it?

But it must have been quite embarrassing. As a result, I would have become a politician with thoroughly divided likes and dislikes.

Yuk Seo-young, who was almost used as the material, was still holding on to the rope. She stared at me with her eyes wide open in disbelief.

“Judge Seo-Young Yuk.”

“When… !”

“I started noticing yesterday when I got down on my knees and asked for leniency. No… To be honest, I had doubts from the first time we asked for an interview. It is because the path that the cornered elite can take has been decided.”

“… ….”

“There are always people who mistakenly think that it is a more honorable path to finish on their own than to helplessly watch the monumental tower built over 20 or 30 years collapse. He must have seen that it was better than living to suffer shame.”

“That.”

Yuk Seo-young tries to answer something, but ends up giving up. Water formed around her eyes, and her legs on her mountaineering rucksack were wobbly.

Although he looked openly pitiful, he couldn’t feel any sympathy.

Because the upheaval I’ve been through was too much for me to sympathize with the people who tried to escape from this world by themselves after being a nuisance to me.

‘I’ll have to let go of that rope first.’

I was thinking of giving up voluntarily by just shaking my mouth without using force. Of course, I had no intention of comforting her with nice words.

“Judge Seo-Young Yuk. What are you going to do now? I failed.”

“Lee Soo-ho, Congressman. I am an incumbent Constitutional Court judge… Attach people and do it this way.”

“Are you talking about having someone watch your house and follow you? It could be a misdemeanor. But if I was afraid of that kind of thing, I couldn’t even go to the Philippines in the first place. Even when Kwon Ye-Sol, who put a total of more than 8 billion won into him, was arrested, the current law was violated a lot.”

“… ….”

“Even Kwon Ye-sol and his left arm were taken down by me with a golf club. Kwon Ye-sol said it was a tooth fracture and mandibular joint injury, and Kim Bang-hee said it was an orbital fracture due to a depression in the temporal region. According to the law, I should be in Namsa-dong, Seoul Detention Center.”

“Isn’t the lawmaker oblivious to public opinion wars… !”

“It will be the same this time. He probably slipped out of embarrassment, too, but I didn’t expect her to point out that she was tailing.”

Yuk Seo-young stutters at these words, unable to open her mouth for a while.

By now, your head must be unspeakably complicated. She made a strong decision at best and tried to carry it alone, but even that failed miserably.

She might ask what she’s afraid of if she’s already made up her mind… Humans are not such strong animals. Anyway, now it is difficult to expect the desired effect even if we do something big.

If you press a little more here, it will collapse. She took a step closer to Yuk Seo-young.

“Okay. If you insist on sticking to the end, there is no way I can stop you.”

“What else… ?”

“I just want to ask you one last thing. If I continue like this, I will have to deal with the aftermath. Apparently, you’ve done all the work to put it all on me, right? I just want you to withdraw that.”

“Huh.”

“I will not get involved after that.”

A notice that you will not meddle as long as you solve the annoyance that will cause (or have already caused) me.

Her request is legitimate from my point of view, but Yuk Seo-young must have a different feeling. Even now, she is struggling to get down from her mountaineering rucksack, which she used as a stepping stone.

“Please. Judge Yuk Seo-young.”

Yuk Seo-young looked at me sobbing.

When I didn’t budge, the team leader and CEO looked at me, but… Anyway, that side wasn’t Bibil Hill either. They say they got money from me and got their lives back, but they still hate Kwon Ye-sol and his gang.

After some silence.

“… Ah.”

In the end, Yuk Seo-young shabbyly let her arms hang down, then got down from her stool and sat down. She then covered her face as she mumbled something.

Seeing that they were talking about nightmares, they seemed to want this to be a dream, but unfortunately it was all reality. Yuk Seo-yeong’s escape attempt failed, and she was due to be arrested sooner or later. Just like the humans who preceded her and redeemed her.

However, before she went to the detention center, she had a role Seoyoung Yook would play.

*

“Rep. Suho Lee. What would you like to do now?”

A question asked by team leader Na after collecting evidence.

“Okay.”

There was absolutely no reason to let Yuk Seo-yeong go like this.

It looks shabby just looking at Koraji sitting hesitantly, but now Seoyoung Yuk was the most important card that could shake her political situation.

Seoyeong Yuk itself wasn’t that important, it was because of her presence that she was behind this human being.

I also didn’t want to hit the job if possible, the pinnacle of power, the president.

Since she touched me first on the other side, I couldn’t just ignore it and move on. Because she never knew when she would do something like this again.

For her counterattack, Yuk Seo-young was thinking of using humans sparingly.

It may seem a little strange to snipe the big house for a subject belonging to the ruling party, but the current political scene in Korea is not in a position to calmly argue between the opposition parties. It’s best to let go of the person threatening me and then think about it.

The key is how to send it.

“Judge Seo-Young Yuk. I know you have a VIP behind you anyway.”

“… Could it be that I communicated directly with him?”

“Of course, it wasn’t something that was decided through direct discussion with the nobleman. But I know there’s something in common. It’s all over now, so please confess meekly. That will benefit Judge Yuk Seo-young as well.”

“… ….”

Maybe it’s because my heart has already been broken. Or is it because of the warm tea that team leader Na gave me at the right time?

Yuk Seo-yeong became her blank face and began to explain her ‘communion’ with the big house.

“… She met the head of the Blue House affiliated office a few times because she was her older sister and younger sister. He was a friend who worked as an assistant to President Han since he was a member of the National Assembly, so it was like talking to the president himself. Of course, it would have gone directly to the president.”

“There is a promise from that friend. I decided to create a situation so that the prosecution could completely close the investigation and look after me so that my family would not be harmed…. If I go alone, it will be more comfortable for me.”

In addition to this, I decided to help her daughter’s organ transplant. It wasn’t that I had a bad heart for nothing.

‘Auxiliary director.’

A person who works closest to the president, and an aide among aides who has been aiding the president ever since he was a first-time lawmaker.

You should probably see him as an aide who knows more about the president than the president himself. He’s the president. He’d like to do tail-cutting, but he wouldn’t even afford to try it. I was the one holding the hilt anyway.

That’s when I started working on a detailed plan while thinking that it would be very noisy.

Yuk Seo-young, who was in a daze, looked up at me as she suddenly exclaimed.

“Suho Lee, Congressman?”

“What?”

“… There are things I did without knowing that things would turn out like this.”

Yuk Seo-young said that she had sent her e-mails to the Judicial Research and Training Institute classmates and the media’s legal team heads just about 50 minutes ago.

An e-mail that replaced a will, in fact, to snip me. When she demanded to be shown the contents, she was the one who hesitantly revealed.

[It’s not that I don’t want to quietly pay the penalty, but the person holding the hilt didn’t allow it. There is no hope for me anymore.]

She

She said she spread this kind of mail to dozens of people. It’s still dawn, but someone will be awake. Even if it’s not that, it will be noisy when the day is bright. I could imagine what would have happened if I hadn’t restrained myself.

‘Probably, as soon as morning came, the missing person was reported, and from then on, all the media in Korea would have dealt only with Yuk Seo-young. By evening, even the CCTV footage of Seo-Young Yuk kneeling down on her and begging for her mercy would have been widely released.’

As expected, this was the plan. Had it come true, the blow would have been quite significant.

However, since I knew the inside story, it was a rather favorable situation for me. Because it means that she thinks that Seoyoung Yuk has already done it. Then she could use it in reverse.

“A person holding a sword hilt. In the end she seems to have been pushed to extremes because of this person. Is that correct?”

“Mr. ?”

“Judge Seo-Young Yuk seems to be a person who will benefit politically if he hugs everyone and disappears… I can guess who it is, but it is also true that I am cautious about mentioning it with my mouth. If possible, I would like Judge Yuk Seo-young to speak directly.”

“Ah.”

“Who are you? The person holding the hilt.”

Yuk Seo-yeong’s face was filled with tension at the openly asked inductive question.

He didn’t honestly answer, “Rep. Suho Lee,” As if he still had the minimum amount of thinking ability. He must be calculating whose name would give him the slightest advantage.

After a while, the answer I expected came back.

“The person I pointed out in the mail is the President. Of course.”

This was enough. Come to think of it, it wasn’t even a lie.

I immediately contacted Hyeri noona and Ha Yeonju. It was because those two had to lay the groundwork for me. And very quickly.
