Episode 313. What is trust?
Ella opened her mouth, holding the teacup in her hand.
“You can go now.”
At those words, Park Jong-gil looked at Ella with a dumbfounded expression and asked.
“You can go? When you just drag me here without permission, you can go now?”
A little while ago, 1:00 PM Korean time.
It was when Park Jong-gil was leaving the casino after handing over the money from Baek Dong-ha’s secret account.
Park Jong-gil was kidnapped by unknown assailants and brought to this hotel.
And it was at this hotel that I encountered Ella.
“… …Why did you bring me here?”
Park Jong-gil asked Ella with a nervous look in his eyes.
But Ella didn’t answer.
He just put his phone down on the table and motioned for me to answer the call.
Park Jong-gil reached out and put the cell phone to his ear with a suspicious expression.
Then Jinwoo’s voice was heard from the other end of the phone.
-I’ve brought you here to ask you a favor.
“Who are you? You kidnap people like this and ask for favors? Isn’t that blackmail?”
-If the process of receiving the invitation was rough, I apologize.
“The apology is fine. I have to go to Korea now. If I don’t get to Korea on time, there will be a big problem. So, get rid of these people. If you do as I say, even now… … .”
But Park Jong-gil’s voice could not continue.
Jinwoo cut him off and opened his mouth.
-I hope you can tell the world the truth about the President.
“… … !”
-I want you to inform the public about the process of money laundering.
Park Jong-gil’s face hardened.
But a cold smile gradually appeared on Park Jong-gil’s hardened expression.
Park Jong-gil was confident.
All of this is happening now, and it is the work of the president’s opponents.
It is clearly a show to seize power by nitpicking the president’s corruption.
So Park Jong-gil said firmly.
“I won’t betray the President even if a knife is put to my throat. Just kill me, you punk.”
Park Jong-gil’s voice was so full of the will to die that it was almost as if he was ready to die.
It is impossible to persuade a person like this.
But Jinwoo didn’t seem to think that way.
Park Jong-gil had to hear Jin-woo’s laughter flowing from the other end of the phone.
And as the laughter ended, Jinwoo opened his mouth.
“Oh my~ That’s incredible loyalty. But, aren’t you curious? Will the president believe in CEO Park Jong-gil’s incredible loyalty until the end?”
“… … !”
“Just watch for 24 hours and you will see how strong the President’s trust in CEO Park Jong-gil is.”
“… … !”
“After that time passes, President Park Jong-gil will be able to leave the hotel.”
With those words, the call ended.
Park Jong-gil snickered as he looked at the blackened screen of his cell phone.
‘faith?’
Park Jong-gil thought.
What these kidnappers want is for Park Jong-gil and the president to distrust each other and to attack each other.
But that won’t happen.
Park Jong-gil and the president have known each other for over ten years.
Because the trust built over that time is not easily broken.
That’s what I thought, but everything happened before the 24 hours Jinwoo had said had passed.
The president’s corruption became known to the world, and the president immediately suspected Park Jong-gil.
Even Park Jong-gil’s family was put in a dangerous situation.
‘shit…….’
It was when Park Jong-gil frowned.
Ella sat up and opened her mouth.
“If you don’t want to leave here, you can stay.”
“… … !”
“You know, it’s safe here.”
Jinbaek will search every hotel in America and try to find a place booked under Park Jong-gil’s name.
But this place is reserved in Golden’s name.
Even if it’s genuine, it’ll be difficult to find.
But Park Jong-gil couldn’t relax.
Because perfect safety is not guaranteed.
In an instant, news of the death of an entire family could be known to the world.
Park Jong-gil slowly raised his gaze and looked at Ella.
“What do you want from me?!”
Park Jong-gil’s voice was rough.
It seemed like he was venting his anger towards Ella.
But this time Ella didn’t answer at all.
Just like when I first met Jong-gil Park, I took my cell phone out of my arms and handed it to him.
Park Jong-gil roughly grabbed Ella’s cell phone and put it to his ear.
Then Jinwoo’s voice was heard from the other end of the phone.
-Have you made up your mind?
“Speak.”
-I heard that CEO Park Jong-gil was the greatest contributor to the current president being elected. So, it is no exaggeration to say that the CEO created the president.
“So?”
-The boss cleans up the trash he makes.
***
At that time, it was Jinwoo’s studio.
Jinwoo put down his cell phone and stood up from the desk.
The great bond of trust between Park Jong-gil and the president was torn to shreds like wet tissue paper in just a few hours.
Park Jong-gil, who had said that he would not betray the president even if a knife was put to his neck, was trying to stab the president with the knife.
Jinwoo smiled coolly and walked towards the window.
I could see the sun rising in the distance.
It’s already dawn.
When the rooster crows at dawn, the president will also crow.
And the president will surely hold Jin Woo-ryeong back to save his life.
***
“Is it true that you tried to launder money using Chairman Baek Dong-ha’s secret account?!”
That afternoon.
The area surrounding the Chief of Staff to the President was filled with reporters.
It was as if dark clouds were gathering, rushing towards the Chief Secretary.
The reporters kept asking questions without stopping.
“How did you get Chairman Baek Dong-ha’s secret account?!”
“Did Jinbaek know that Chairman Baek Dong-ha had a secret account in the President’s name?!”
“Is Jinbaekdo involved?!”
“Please say something!”
At that moment, the chief secretary suddenly stopped walking.
And then he slowly looked at the reporters and smiled leisurely.
“The spokesperson will make an announcement soon, but before that, I’d like to say something briefly. We don’t even know about the current situation. Even the reporters are having a hard time with this ridiculous fake news. This is a serious matter.”
At those words, a reporter opened his mouth.
“Mr. President, you don’t know anything?”
“Yes, we were also shocked when we saw the article yesterday. The president of a country launders money at a casino? We didn’t think there was any need to explain.”
The chief secretary trusted Jin Woo-ryeong.
There is still no news that Park Jong-gil has been resolved, but the opponent is Jin Woo-ryeong.
You have the power to make the words you speak into reality.
So the chief secretary could speak.
“This is just a crude political conspiracy, it has no meaning whatsoever.”
The chief secretary’s voice was full of confidence.
Even the reporters who were watching thought at that moment, ‘Ah, that’s really true.’
But then, a reporter’s voice from the corner broke their thoughts.
“The whistleblower is holding a press conference in 3 hours?!”
All eyes turned to the reporter.
The reporter continued in an urgent voice.
“Watch the internet broadcast! He’s the one who was instructed to launder the president’s secret bank account!”
At the same time, the chief secretary unconsciously picked up his cell phone and quickly logged onto the internet broadcast.
And then I saw Park Jong-gil’s face appear on the screen.
Park Jong-gil put his face on the thumbnail of an internet broadcast and said he would reveal everything in three hours.
The chief secretary shut his eyes tightly.
A low groan was flowing from his mouth.
At that moment, a reporter’s voice reached the chief secretary’s ears.
“Chief Secretary! Do you know who this person is?!”
The chief secretary opened his eyes and forced a smile at the reporter.
“No. I don’t know him.”
“You don’t know me?!”
“Yes, it’s the first time I’m seeing your face.”
With those words, the chief of staff turned around and walked towards the presidential office.
A little while later, in the Presidential Office.
bang!
An ashtray was thrown at the chief secretary’s face.
As the ashtray full of cigarettes fell out with a thud, the President’s fierce voice flowed out.
“Hey, you crazy kid?! Don’t you have any thoughts?!”
The world is in chaos.
This is because the chief secretary said to Park Jong-gil, “I don’t know you.”
Netizens quickly found photos of Park Jong-gil and the chief of staff and posted them on the Internet, and also found that Park Jong-gil was at the president’s election camp.
“No matter what explanation we give now, the people won’t believe us.”
“… … !”
“Because you are spouting nonsense, even if Jin Woo-ryeong kills Park Jong-gil, conspiracy theories will start to spread as if we killed him.”
“… … !”
“I’ll just shut up and leave… … .”
That was when the president blamed the chief of staff.
The door opened with a bang and the secretaries came in.
“Hey, I found Park Jong-gil!”
The president’s gaze quickly turned to his secretary.
“Found it?!”
“yes!”
We found out where Park Jong-gil was and where he accessed the Internet broadcast.
“where are you?!”
The secretary’s voice followed quickly after the president’s words.
“This is Korea.”
“……korea?!”
The corners of the president’s mouth twisted.
They are sneaking into Korea like rats and causing trouble.
These little rats should be trampled to death.
The President, who was thinking like that, turned his gaze to the Chief of Staff.
And he gave instructions in a fierce voice.
“There are two hours left until the exposure. You go yourself. Meet Park Jong-gil and persuade him or do something to resolve the issue.”
“yes!”
After the chief of staff bowed, he left the presidential office.
The president looked at her back and held a cigarette in his hand.
‘Park Jong-gil… … .’
It has finally been revealed where Park Jong-gil is.
Well, now the game is over.
If the Chief of Staff meets Jong-gil Park and uses persuasion bordering on threats, Jong-gil Park will make a broadcast that is friendly to the President.
And that very moment is the last time Park Jong-gil can breathe in this world.
The president had no intention of keeping Park Jong-gil alive.
A man who has betrayed you once can betray you again at any time.
Letting a guy like that out into the world is like always hugging a bomb.
After thinking like that, the president put the cell phone to his ear.
“I found Park Jong-gil.”
The phone call was directed to Jinwooryeong.
***
In Gapyeong, Gyeonggi-do, a black sedan and several vans were racing down the road like crazy.
The vehicle was headed to the place where Park Jong-gil accessed the internet broadcast.
It was a resort.
After the chief secretary got out of the car, he looked at the building.
But there was no time to admire the building.
The chief secretary went straight inside and got on the elevator.
Ding!
The elevator doors slid open, and the chief secretary and dozens of men walked down the resort’s hallway.
And where they arrived was the room at the very end.
“Open.”
At the chief secretary’s words, a man easily opened the door.
Then the chief secretary opened the door wide and went inside.
And without even taking off his shoes, he walked slowly towards the living room and opened his mouth in a friendly voice.
“President Park Jong-gil, you should have contacted me when you came to Korea. What are you doing hiding here…?”
But the chief secretary suddenly shut his mouth before speaking.
The person sitting on the windowsill was not Park Jong-gil.
It was Jinwoo.
Jinwoo was holding his cell phone and taking a picture of the chief secretary.
It was when the chief secretary frowned at Jinwoo.
Jinwoo opened his mouth in a relaxed voice.
“I’ll take a good picture of you. Don’t frown, just smile. If you frown, you won’t look like a real person.”
