Chapter 570:
The next day, Yoo-hyun chose to go to work at Hansung Tower.
It was not just because he was curious that he had moved up the meeting time.
The article that came out at dawn was more decisive.
Unfortunately, the same thing was happening as in the past.
Since he didn’t have much time left, Yoo-hyun decided to hurry.
Of course, he didn’t show any signs of impatience on the surface.
The first one to reveal his anxiety was Director Lee Jun-il, whom he met at the VIP conference room on the 14th floor.
As soon as he saw Yoo-hyun, he asked him bluntly.
“What did you talk about with Vice President Joo Jaeho?”“Let’s sit down. What’s the rush?”
“What?”
“Don’t you think we should ask each other how we are doing? It’s been a long time since we saw each other. I came here with a happy heart, but you ruined my mood.”
Yoo-hyun straightened his clothes and frowned, and Director Lee Jun-il took a deep breath.
He was annoyed by his somewhat arrogant attitude, but his priority was to hear the information.
“Let’s sort things out first and then catch up.”
“Then ask me again slowly. I couldn’t understand you because you spoke too fast.”
“You went to the Future Products Research Center in Gwacheon a while ago, right?”
“Yes. So?”
“You met Vice President Joo Jaeho there.”
Director Lee Jun-il asked him one by one, as if he was interrogating him.
He either knew a lot about Yoo-hyun, or he had done a more thorough investigation on Vice President Joo Jaeho.
Otherwise, there was no reason to beat around the bush like this.
Was he anxious because of theck of information?
He pretended to be calm, but his legs were shaking slightly under the table.
“Since he was there, I greeted him.”
“Yeah. But you two went outside for a moment. There’s a witness, so don’t lie.”
“I have no intention of lying. But why are you telling me this?”
“It’s important what you talked about. Tell me.”
He was digging for data, which was not much different from Director Lee Jun-il’s previous behavior.
What changed was his eyes, which shed even as he threw short questions.
His breathing was uneasy, and his speech was so fast that his pronunciation was distorted.
It was clear that theck of data made him impatient.
He showed his weakness to his opponent, and Yoo-hyun matched his pace.
“Um, Vice President Joo did tell me something shocking.”
“What was it?”
“I promised not to tell, so it’s hard to say.”
“What? Don’t you know who’s behind me?”
Why was he bragging about his backer here, like a child?
Yoo-hyun hid hisughter and countered his words.
“I know, but Director Shin is not rted to me, is he?”
“What?”
“And if you’re curious, you can ask Vice President Joo yourself. Why did you bother to call me?”
“You’ve changed a lot. You’ve be arrogant.”
Yoo-hyun remained calm under Director Lee Jun-il’s sharp gaze.
“You’ve changed too. You’re too impatient.”
“Huh! Have you lost your judgment because you’ve been away for a while?”
“Your judgment is the one that’s blurred. Don’t you get it yet?”
As Yoo-hyun’s words hit him, Director Lee Jun-il’s eyes darted around.
He was buffering for the answer that should havee out with a bang.
This was not like Director Lee Jun-il at all.
“…”
“Tell me. I’m curious if you can guess this time.”
Yoo-hyun chuckled and held out his palm, and Director Lee Jun-il’s mouth twisted.
“It was you. You were the one who helped Shin Kyung-wook behind the scenes.”
“No.”
“Don’t lie. It all makes sense if you teamed up with Shin Kyung-wook. Am I wrong?”
He was not bad at deducing, even though he was a bit narrow-minded.
But the facts had to be urate, so Yoo-hyun corrected him.
“Yes. You’re wrong. I’m not behind him, I’m with him. Because we’re colleagues.”
“Are you ying with words?”
“Well, I guess you’ll never understand, since you treat your employees like parts.”
Yoo-hyun answered casually and shrugged his shoulders.
Squeak.
Suddenly, one corner of Director Lee Jun-il’s mouth rose sharply.
His eyes shed over his cold and indifferent expression.
“You’ve crossed the line.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You shouldn’t have provoked me if you had any ns. If you wanted to keep working in thispany.”
Director Lee Jun-il had spoken in a cold voice like this in the past.
-Director Han, the moment you cross that line, your career is over. I hope you understand your situation.
Yoo-hyun had felt a chilly fear at his unexpected appearance.
He had seen his cruel actions from the side.
But why did he look so pathetic now?
Yoo-hyun burst intoughter.
“Ha ha! Don’t you realize the situation yet?”
“What?”
“You can only say that confidently when you can watch everything from behind. But you don’t have that weapon anymore, do you?”
“…”
Yoo-hyun’s words, which came out of nowhere, shook Director Lee Jun-il’s pupils.
He showed his anxiety by fiddling with his nails.
The reason for his anxiety?
It was because the data center, his solid sword and shield, could no longer protect him.
Director Lee Jun-il swung his old wooden sword to hide the fact that he was naked.
“Do you have any idea how much I have? If I give one order, …”
Yoo-hyun was not fooled by such a flimsy attack.
He stopped his thought process with one more word.
“What’s the use of all that when the data center is broken?”
“Huh.”
I know everything about you!
The fact that Yoo-hyun knew everything was a shock to Director Lee Jun-il.
It was the first time he felt fear after being pushed by the information.
His anxiety and nervousness were clearly revealed in his actions.
He was trembling in his legs, and his teeth were ttering. Yoo-hyun showed him the gap of information.
“Do you really think it was a coincidence?”
“H-how did you…”
“You must be curious, but what can you do? You won’t know anything unless I tell you.”
Yoo-hyun smirked, but Director Lee Joon-il could not resist.
He had clearly imprinted who was wearing the armor.
Was that why?
At the point where he should have pretended not to know, he asked a question that easily admitted his defeat.
“What the hell did you do?”
Yoo-hyun did not miss it.
He confirmed that the data center was his property, and he pressured Director Lee Joon-il to overturn everything.
“Don’t you think there is no guarantee that you can monopolize the data? There might be someone above you who is looking down on you.”
“That’s nonsense.”
“You can’t judge whether it makes sense or not, when you don’t know anything. Are you really confident that you know everything?”
“…”
Not only did his secret data center copse, but the person who knew about it was right in front of him.
Wouldn’t everything he had believed so far seem like a lie?
Maybe everything he had done was being denied.
Yoo-hyun paused for a moment and delivered a decisive blow that would crush the shaken Director Lee Joon-il.
“If you are not sure, at least make a good judgment. You don’t know what will happen if the data center’s deeds are exposed, do you?”
“Are you saying…”
“Yes. You are right. You will be buried by society.”
Yoo-hyun had no evidence.
Even if he did, it would not be easy to prove Director Lee Joon-il’s illegality.
But that was the story of someone who knew the information.
The pressure felt by someone who did not know how much was leaked was beyond imagination.
Director Lee Joon-il seemed to have assumed the worst, as his face turned pale.
He sped his head and shook his whole body.
“That can’t be.”
Yoo-hyunughed at the sight of him copsing with just a few words.
‘Was he such a weak person?’
If he was the smart Director Lee Joon-il he used to be, he would have somehow endured and sought a reversal.
But was it because of Yoo-hyun’s strong pressure?
The person who once looked so high as if he was in the sky had self-destructed so vainly.
He could have ended it here, but that did not suit Director Lee Joon-il’s finale.
-Anyone can corner and crush their opponent. If you want to finish it properly, you have to use their fear. That way, they will self-destruct.
Yoo-hyun decided to finish him off in his usual style, instead of ending it ndly.
He needed to tie him up first so that he could not think of anything else.
“You don’t have to worry too much. I’m not aiming for you.”
“…”
“After all, we are both aides. The neck of the opponent’s aide is not important in this fight.”
Director Lee Joon-il understood Yoo-hyun’s words at once, thinking that they were in the same situation.
He was telling him to help Vice President Shin Kyung-wook be the chairman.
But Director Lee Joon-il, who knew the fear of Shin Kyung-soo, looked very embarrassed.
“Shin Kyung-wook won’t work either. If Director Shin Kyung-sooes…”
“You will be in trouble if Director Shin Kyung-sooes.”
“What do you mean?”
“Do you think I don’t know the rtionship between SG Bio’s Michael and Director Shin Kyung-soo?”
“…”
He easily extracted information from Director Lee Joon-il’s gestures, who had lost his spirit.
Yoo-hyun confirmed his spection as a fact and developed his logic.
“As soon as he enters Korea, it will be revealed that Director Shin Kyung-soo is the owner of SG Bio.”
“That’s…”
“Yes. It will be your mistake. You worked hard in the US to make the deal, but the aide you trusted and entrusted was leaking information.”
It was a half-threat that Director Lee Joon-il’s neck would fly off as soon as he called Shin Kyung-soo.
Gulp.
He swallowed his saliva with a tense expression, and it was clear that he had been hooked.
Shall we raise the level a little?
Yoo-hyun whipped Director Lee Joon-il, who could not do anything.
“But you can’t just sit still either.”
“…”
“You know, right? Vice President Joo Jae-oh has a bomb.”
As soon as the Russian case was mentioned after SG Bio, Director Lee Joon-il’s face was drained.
He barely held on to hisst sanity.
He had copsed, but he still had some pride left.
“Vice President Joo Jae-oh can’t blow it up. Even if I don’t step in, thedy won’t sit still.”
“It would be fine if this corruption was only rted to the Royal Family. But what if it affects Congressman Heo Jeong-ro, too?”
The core of the Russian cluster corruption was the capitalundering of the Royal Family.
The one who supported it was Congressman Heo Jeong-ro, who was the Russian embassy at the time.
This meant that this scandal could affect the next presidential election.
Director Lee Joon-il, who understood the content, opened his mouth wide.
“Gasp.”
“The chairman will finish it.”
“Th-the chairman?”
Director Lee Joon-il could never cross-check the information.
With that confidence, Yoo-hyun pushed him.
“Yes. Vice President Shin Kyung-wook will confront him with all the information.”
“The chairman won’t ept it. He doesn’t get involved in the prince’s fight.”
“I told you. It’s a matter rted to the next presidential candidate. It’s a situation where the group could fly away. Do you think he will sit still?”
“…”
Director Lee Joon-il was not a stupid person.
