Episode 322. Family Tree

Cho Hak-ju’s actions suddenly stopped.

There were just wide-open eyes, and the pupils inside them were slowly tilting.

Cho Hak-ju did not understand the current situation.

My mind became foggy, as if I had lost my cognitive abilities.

After a short while, Jo Hak-ju let out a blank voice.

“… … Where are you spouting that nonsense from?!”

But at the same time, Jinwoo’s low laughter flowed from the other end of the phone.

And then the laughter stopped and Jinwoo’s voice continued.

– Nonsense? You know better than anyone that this isn’t nonsense, this is the truth, right?

“… … !”

-Say thank you. I will correct that dog-like genealogy that cannot call its son “son” and cannot call its father “father.”

With those words, the call ended.

But Jo Hak-ju couldn’t take his cell phone off his ear.

All he did was stare into space with bloodshot eyes.

‘How did Lee Jin-woo… … .’

There are not many people who know about the relationship between Jo Hak-ju and Baek Yun-seong.

That’s all for Jo Hak-ju, Jin Woo-ryeong, and Baek Yoon-seong.

It is something that no one else can know and should not know.

Even Baek Cheol-yeong and Baek Seo-yeon did not know that Baek Yoon-seong was Jo Hak-ju’s son.

But Jinwoo knows that.

But it doesn’t matter how Jinwoo found out now.

What matters is how we deal with the present situation.

Cho Hak-joo is a presidential candidate.

But before that, he was known as Baek Dong-ha’s right-hand man.

However, when it becomes known to the world that Jo Hak-ju hit Baek Dong-ha on the back of the head and slept with Jin Woo-ryeong, Jo Hak-ju’s life turns into tragedy.

It means that you will not be able to achieve your life goal of becoming president.

Cho Hak-ju paced around the office with a miserable expression on his face, deep in thought.

***

At that time, Ella’s office in Yeouido.

Ella, Oh Myung-hoon, and Jin-woo, who had returned to Korea, were sitting there.

However, Oh Myung-hoon and Ella’s expressions were unusual.

He was looking at Jinwoo with shocked and astonished eyes.

and.

“Is that true?”

Oh Myung-hoon asked a question. Jin-woo, who knew what it was without having to hear an explanation, answered lightly.

“yes.”

“So, Baek Yoon-seong was Jo Hak-ju’s son?”

“That’s what I said.”

Oh Myeong-hun shook his head and let out a hollow laugh.

This is because the kind of absurdity that we only see in dramas is happening in real life.

The life of Baek Dong-ha, who held the world in his hands, felt pitiful for no reason.

“This is crazy, this is crazy… … .”

It was when Oh Myeong-hun was muttering.

Ella looked at Jinwoo and asked.

“But, since when did Sergeant Lee Jin-woo know about this?”

“How many years has it been?”

Oh Myeong-hun’s gaze suddenly turned towards Jin-woo.

“How many years?”

“yes.”

“You’ve known that for so long?”

“yes.”

“Then, you should have blown it up earlier. You could have focused people’s attention and brought down Jin Woo-ryeong and Jo Hak-ju.”

Jinwoo smiled faintly and shook his head.

“If I had blown it up then, would it have been successful?”

“… … ?”

“You know, right? If it were the usual Jin Baek, he would have the power to turn this kind of incident into a crude flyer.”

“… … !”

“But now it’s different. Jin Woo-ryeong was arrested on charges of murdering Baek Dong-ha, and public sentiment has turned against him. That’s why people don’t think of what’s happening now as mere rumors. They think Jin Woo-ryeong could do such immoral things.”

Jinwoo continued speaking with a quiet smile.

“Please wait. Following Jin Woo-ryeong, Jo Hak-ju’s life will also end.”

***

Back to Cho Hak-ju’s office.

Cho Hak-ju, who had been pacing around the office with a miserable expression, stopped walking.

‘wait for a sec…….’

A little while ago, Baek Cheol-young and Baek Seo-yeon held a press conference and said this.

-My siblings and I have confirmed that CEO Baek Yoon-seong is not the son of Chairman Baek Dong-ha, our father.

Come to think of it, they didn’t mention Cho Hak-ju’s name at the press conference.

It must be Jinwoo’s plan to slowly kill Jo Hak-ju.

But a smile began to appear on Jo Hak-ju’s lips.

‘Lee Jin-woo… … You shouldn’t have given me time.’

Cho Hak-ju has both money and power.

Given time, it means we have the power to turn this situation around.

And crisis is opportunity.

In Cho Hak-ju’s head, a plan was being formed to trample on this incident and boldly open the door to the presidential office.

After finishing his thoughts, Jo Hak-ju’s gaze shifted to one side.

I saw an aide standing there.

Cho Hak-ju opened his mouth to his aide.

“Cancel all schedules after today.”

“……yes?”

“And contact Director Jin Baek to see you briefly.”

After a while, at a Korean restaurant.

There, Cho Hak-ju and the director of Jinbaek Hospital were sitting across from each other.

“I have a favor to ask.”

The hospital director nodded quickly at Cho Hak-ju’s words.

“Say it. I will do anything.”

The hospital director’s eyes were sparkling.

Cho Hak-joo is the person closest to the president.

If you accept Jo Hak-ju’s request, you may be able to get a position later.

And the hospital director’s expectations became reality.

“If you do well, I promise you the position of Minister of Health and Welfare.”

The hospital director’s eyes widened at Cho Hak-ju’s words.

“Okay, Minister?!”

“If you are the hospital director, I think you are the right person for the position.”

That’s when the hospital director’s eyes turn to greed.

Cho Hak-ju’s voice continued.

“You know. Promising me a ministerial position means that this request is by no means light.”

The hospital director nodded.

“Please speak.”

The director’s eyes showed his determination to solve any request.

Jo Hak-ju, who had been staring blankly into those eyes, put down his teacup and opened his mouth again.

“Before I ask you a favor, let me tell you one more thing. If what I’m saying now gets out to anyone else, I can’t guarantee the safety of the hospital director and his family.”

“… … !”

“This is not a simple threat. It is a matter of such importance that the safety of the hospital director is even mentioned.”

“… … !”

“Since it’s something of that magnitude, I’m promising you the position of minister.”

The hospital director smiled greedily.

“Sir, don’t worry and speak. My mouth is really heavy.”

But Jo Hak-ju didn’t answer right away.

I looked into the director’s eyes a little more to see if he was someone I could trust.

And Jo Hak-ju took out his cell phone and placed it on the table.

The hospital director’s gaze naturally turned to the cell phone.

“… … This is?”

What appeared on the phone screen was the title of the article.

[CEO Baek Cheol-yeong, CEO Baek Seo-yeon, and CEO Baek Yoon-seong have different fathers]

[The secret of being born into a wealthy family. Who is CEO Baek Yoon-seong’s father?]

The hospital director tilted his head and looked at Cho Hak-ju.

The hospital director looked like he couldn’t understand why Cho Hak-ju was suddenly showing him this article.

At that time, the words that flowed from Jo Hak-ju’s mouth.

“Baek Yoon-seong’s father is coming.”

The expression on the face of a person who has been greatly shocked is the same.

No other thoughts entered my blank mind.

He just stared blankly at Jo Hak-ju’s face with his mouth open and his eyes wide open.

For a moment, the hospital director thought back to what Cho Hak-ju had just said.

What he meant was that if this leaked out, he could not guarantee the safety of the hospital director and his family, and that it was not a simple threat.

It will not be a lie, but the truth.

You can tell by looking at Jo Hak-ju’s snake-like eyes.

If this becomes known to the world through the hospital director’s mouth, Cho Hak-ju will kill the hospital director and his family by any means necessary.

The hospital director held the glass of water with trembling hands.

The hospital director realized that he was caught up in a case he couldn’t get out of.

But the moment I realized it, it was too late.

Now, I have to somehow grant Jo Hak-ju’s request.

“What should I do?”

At the hospital director’s words, Cho Hak-ju opened his mouth with a cold smile.

“My name has not come up in their interviews yet. But it’s only a matter of time. They will soon bring up my name. Then, the opposing candidates will come at me like wild dogs and bite me. The public will be in an uproar, demanding that I undergo a genetic test.”

“… … !”

“I will accept genetic testing without hesitation.”

Cho Hak-ju took out a cigarette and lit it.

And after lighting it, he exhaled smoke and spoke in a deep voice.

“The results of the genetic test will obviously show that Baek Yoon-seong and I have no relationship.”

The hospital director swallowed dry saliva.

What Cho Hak-ju is saying now is to manipulate genetic testing.

He is ordering that the relationship between Jo Hak-ju and Baek Yun-seong be made to appear as if there is no relationship.

Cho Hak-ju continued speaking, dropping cigarette ash into a glass of water.

“Can you do it?”

The hospital director wiped his face.

This has to be done.

That’s the only way to protect your family.

The hospital director nodded with a serious expression and opened his mouth.

“You can do it.”

“Can you keep our conversation a secret until I die?”

“yes.”

A smile appeared on Cho Hak-ju’s lips.

“Good.”

***

A few days later, Jo Hak-ju’s prediction came true.

As rumors started to circulate that Baek Yoon-seong’s father was Jo Hak-ju, Baek Cheol-yeong and Baek Seo-yeon appeared at a press conference again.

And the two people revealed that Baek Yoon-seong’s father was Jo Hak-ju.

-Baek Yoon-seong’s father is not Chairman Baek Dong-ha, but candidate Cho Hak-ju.

It seemed to add fuel to the fire that had been brewing for days.

It was only natural that the world was turned upside down by the fact that Jo Hak-joo, who was Baek Dong-ha’s right-hand man in the presidential election, was his lover, and many countries around the world also focused on this incident as a huge scandal.

And the office of Cho Hak-ju.

As Cho Hak-ju came out of the building, the reporters who had been waiting swarmed in like dark clouds.

“Candidate! Is it true that you are CEO Baek Yoon-seong’s father?!”

“Are you admitting the truth?!”

But Jo Hak-ju was relaxed.

“Will you believe me if I say I don’t admit it?”

“So, you’re saying it’s not true?”

Cho Hak-ju smiled broadly at the reporters.

And then he opened his mouth with infinite calmness.

“You know, Jinbaek’s chairmanship has been vacant for a long time. That’s because each brother fought to take that seat.”

“… … !”

“But, CEO Baek Yoon-seong was arrested, and CEOs Baek Cheol-yeong and Baek Seo-yeon must have thought that now is the time to completely get rid of CEO Baek Yoon-seong.”

“… … !”

“I just got involved in that dirty fight.”

After Cho Hak-ju paused for a moment, he slowly looked at the faces of the reporters who had gathered.

Then he opened his mouth again leisurely.

“If Representative Baek Yoon-seong permits, I will undergo a genetic test right now. And I will tell the world the truth. I have never done anything immoral… … .”

But then, it was then.

A reporter’s stammering voice rang in Jo Hak-ju’s ears.

“… … I heard that CEO Baek Yoon-seong held a press conference in prison?”

At those words, everyone’s eyes turned to the reporter.

Then the reporter continued speaking.

“A video call with the lawyer’s cell phone. I heard you can watch it on the internet, so check it out.”

The smile on Jo Hak-ju’s lips grew deeper.

“CEO Baek Yoon-seong must also feel wronged. He would never have dreamed that his blood-related brother would harm him in this way.”

Cho Hak-ju thought.

Baek Yoon-seong is helping Jo Hak-ju.

Because only when Cho Hak-joo becomes president can Baek Yoon-seong come out into the world.

But that thought was wrong.

This is when reporters accessed the site where Baek Yoon-seong’s press conference in prison was being streamed.

Baek Yoon-seong’s voice pierced Jo Hak-ju’s ears.

-Candidate Cho Hak-ju is my father.
