: I am very angry now!

Ring ring ring ~

Lee Se-hyun’s phone suddenly rang; an unknown number was calling.

He wondered who was calling.

“Who is this?”

“Hello, Prosecutor Li! I am the Deputy Secretary-General of Future Group.”

“My surname is Cui, you can call me Secretary Cui.”

Someone from Future Group?

This was the Chairman Wu whom Minister Han had asked him to investigate a while ago. Chairman Wu was the chairman of Future Group,

and also the biggest financial backer behind Councilor Zhang.

“Is there something you need?”

Lee Se-hyun’s indifferent attitude stunned Secretary Cui, who couldn't help but wonder if he hadn't made himself clear.

Secretary Cui smiled warmly and said, “Prosecutor Li, you might not have heard me clearly just now.”

“Let me introduce you, the General Manager of Capital City Future Real Estate Group, who is also Chairman Wu’s younger brother.”

“He would like to invite you to a casual dinner tonight, Prosecutor Li, are you available?”

Secretary Cui, fearing that Prosecutor Li Shixian might not understand the situation, specifically emphasized the identity of Chairman Wu’s younger brother.

Who was Chairman Wu?

To be able to become the financial backer behind a presidential candidate, he could be said to be among those standing at the pinnacle on The Peninsula.

If Councilor Zhang successfully became the President, Chairman Wu would have the merit of supporting the new emperor, and would at least be a minister.

He would most likely be the head of the Ministry of Finance, controlling the economic lifeline of The Peninsula.

Such a figure, even Minister Han, would be wary of him.

“Chairman Wu wants to invite me to dinner?” Lee Se-hyun feigned surprise, “I must accept Chairman Wu’s invitation!”

“To be honest, I have admired Chairman Wu for a long time…”

Lee Se-hyun rattled off a long string of flattery, and Secretary Cui quickly interrupted, “Prosecutor Li! It’s not Chairman Wu who is inviting you to dinner.”

“What? Not Chairman Wu?”

Secretary Cui corrected, “It’s Chairman Wu’s younger brother, the General Manager of Future Group.”

The General Manager of Future Group was named Wu Tai, a second-generation connected person, a stubborn scion.

Wu Tai, relying on his older brother being the chairman of Future Group, had committed many misdeeds.

Lee Se-hyun had heard of his great name.

He hadn’t expected Wu Tai to seek him out, and even invite him to a meal.

Lee Se-hyun said unpleasantly, “Are you toying with a Prosecutor of the South Korea?!”

Upon hearing this, Secretary Cui’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat, and he explained, “Prosecutor Li, how would I dare to toy with you?!”

“Then is Chairman Wu inviting me to dinner or not?!”

【Secretary Cui's emotional value + 5】

Secretary Cui was dumbfounded. Lee Se-hyun was clearly playing with him!

It could be said that Lee Se-hyun might have misheard earlier, but he had explained it again. Could he mishear a second time?

Isn’t this bullying an honest person?!!

“Prosecutor Li, it’s Chairman Wu’s younger brother, General Manager Wu Tai, who wants to invite you to a casual dinner, not Chairman Wu.”

“It’s Chairman Wu’s younger brother,” Secretary Cui emphasized again.

“Oh ~” Lee Se-hyun immediately changed his expression, disdainfully saying, “Chairman Wu’s younger brother, you say?”

“I have to work overtime today.”

“Sorry, I’m busy!”

Lee Se-hyun initially really thought Chairman Wu was inviting him to dinner, although he didn’t know the purpose.

After all, he was the man behind Councilor Zhang, so he had to give face for a meal.

Chairman Wu’s younger brother?

What could a second-generation like Song Baekho want with him?

The two were also in opposing camps.

Nothing good could come of it!

“Busy?” Secretary Cui suspected he was hallucinating. Hadn’t he just admired Chairman Wu’s heroic demeanor?

After hearing clearly that it was Chairman Wu’s younger brother inviting him to dinner, he immediately changed his tune, right?

Lee Se-hyun understood how to change faces. Having stayed by Han Kang-sik’s side for a long time, he had mastered the essence of Sichuan opera face-changing.

These Prosecutors of the South Korea were parasites!

Secretary Cui said again, “General Manager Wu Tai also greatly admires Prosecutor Li’s distinguished bearing.”

“It’s just that a while ago, General Manager Wu’s distant relative offended you.”

“So Chairman Wu wants to host a dinner to apologize to you.”

“I hope Prosecutor Li, you can give us this face.”

“For the sake of the General Manager being Chairman Wu’s younger brother.”

Secretary Cui’s words, both explicit and implicit, were all reminding Lee Se-hyun of Wu Tai’s identity as Chairman Wu’s biological younger brother.

Wu Tai was indeed a difficult person to describe. As his personal secretary, Secretary Cui was the person in the world who understood Wu Tai the most.

He knew in his heart that no one would refuse to give face, relying on the identity of Chairman Wu’s younger brother from Future Group.

“Relative? Offended me?” Lee Se-hyun asked, confused.

When did Chairman Wu’s relative offend me?

Why don’t I know?!

Lee Se-hyun pondered, guessing it wasn’t some important relative, but a distant one, like an eighteenth-generation removed.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be Wu Tai, this scion, stepping forward, but Chairman Wu himself coming to trouble him.

A banquet of ill intent!

How was this inviting Lee Se-hyun to dinner and apologizing? It was probably Wu Tai coming to stand up for his relative.

Seeing that Lee Se-hyun on the other end was slow to respond, Secretary Cui said again, “If Prosecutor Li genuinely doesn’t have time to come.”

“I will inform General Manager Wu Tai.”

“If Prosecutor Li can make time, that would be even better.”

Secretary Cui was also in a difficult position; Wu Tai had given a strict order to “invite” Lee Se-hyun over.

He was also speechless inside. He couldn’t possibly just package Lee Se-hyun up and bring him over, could he?

Lee Se-hyun was not an ordinary citizen, some worthless person.

He was a Prosecutor of the South Korea!

You, Wu Tai, are Chairman Wu’s younger brother and fear no one, but he is just a butler-secretary. How would he dare to kidnap a Prosecutor?

Secretary Cui sighed, saying that Wu Tai was truly becoming more and more unreasonable! How would he explain to Chairman Wu then?

Lee Se-hyun sat in his office chair, his fingertips tapping the table incessantly, and said in a deep voice, “Location.”

Secretary Cui brightened upon hearing this and immediately reported the time and place: “Rose Hotel, 8 PM tonight.”

“Prosecutor Li, when you arrive, please give me a call, and I will have someone personally come to pick you up.”

“I didn’t say I’m definitely going, why are you in such a hurry?”

Uh...【Secretary Cui's emotional value + 10】

“This…” Secretary Cui said awkwardly, “Prosecutor Li is right. If you have time, you must come!”

“And also, you must be on time! You must arrive before 8 PM!”

Secretary Cui admonished, “Young Master Wu Tai doesn’t like people being late.”

Doesn’t like people being late?

Lee Se-hyun tutted twice, thinking, ‘He really has airs, meaning he wants me, a Prosecutor, to arrive punctually.’

‘Then you, Wu Tai, will be late, right?’

Lee Se-hyun sneered, ‘Punctual, huh? I’ll make sure to be at least half an hour late. If you’re not there, I’ll never arrive early.’

Although he was about to be transferred from Minister Han’s command to the Eastern Prosecutor's Office.

The plan to investigate Councilor Zhang and Chairman Wu, of course, had to be shelved and abandoned.

But Lee Se-hyun and Chairman Wu’s group were not on the same page. Just from Wu Tai’s behavior, one could infer something.

These guys, Chairman Wu and his associates, were not decent people.

Since I’m going, I’ll make the best of it.

He wanted to see what this banquet of ill intent was all about.

At this moment, in a secluded room in a certain hotel, Secretary Cui stood by nervously.

“Young… Young Master Wu.”

“Hmm?” Wu Tai opened his eyes with displeasure and glared at Secretary Cui, clearly annoyed.

Couldn’t he see he was busy?

If Secretary Cui didn’t give a reasonable explanation, he would definitely treat Secretary Cui to an ashtray meal.

Secretary Cui stood discreetly, not letting his eyes wander, and cautiously said, “Young Master Wu, Prosecutor Li has agreed to tonight’s dinner.”

“Prosecutor Li? Who’s that?” Wu Tai asked lightly.

Secretary Cui watched Wu Tai inhaling something, looking ecstatic, and swallowed hard.

It wasn’t that he was craving it and wanted to try it, but rather a physiological fear of that stuff.

Once you got hooked on that, you could never quit it for life.

Seeing that Wu Tai was already incoherent from inhaling, he had clearly forgotten the instructions he had given earlier.

Secretary Cui explained, “It’s the one who arrested the cousin of your uncle’s son’s father’s brother and put him in jail.”

“I understand, I understand.” Wu Tai’s eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of sobriety, and he pretended to understand, “It’s… that Prosecutor, right?”

“A Prosecutor, huh?” Wu Tai stood up and mumbled, “A Prosecutor is good!”

“My Wu family’s relatives, they just arrest them as they please. He’s even more impressive than the President of The Peninsula!”

Wu Tai took another puff and, lost in thought, said, “If my brother hadn’t stopped me back then, I would have been a Prosecutor too!”

Secretary Cui complimented, “Yes, yes.”

He scoffed internally, ‘With you, Wu Tai, looking neither human nor ghost, if you really became a Prosecutor, the South Korea would not be far from ruin.’

Wu Tai seemed to recall some bad memory, and his face suddenly turned sinister, saying, “Sibal!”

Secretary Cui jumped in fright as Wu Tai suddenly rushed over maniacally, grabbing his tie.

Wu Tai roared, “Are you mocking me?!”

“No…”

With a slap, Wu Tai violently struck Secretary Cui across the face.

Secretary Cui screamed, “Ah!”

He clutched his cheek, which was scratched by some sharp object, oozing faint traces of blood, and he dared not cry out in pain.

Looking at Secretary Cui, who was like a stray dog on the floor, Wu Tai smiled cheerfully, his smile very eerie.

Like a demon from the abyss.

Secretary Cui couldn’t help but feel his hair stand on end. He had diligently worked for Future Group for over a decade.

Chairman Wu, seeing him clever and loyal, had assigned him to be Wu Tai’s assistant.

Rather than an assistant, he was more like a butler.

A role similar to a chief eunuch beside an ancient emperor.

Initially, he was very excited, wanting to showcase his ambitions and repay Chairman Wu’s kindness.

Only when he truly came into contact with Wu Tai, he was dumbfounded.

Were Chairman Wu and Wu Tai born from the same embryo?

As he gradually understood Wu Tai’s true nature: arrogant, domineering, and addicted to drugs.

He was simply the epitome of a top-tier spoiled rich kid.

Secretary Cui couldn’t help but feel disheartened. Was Chairman Wu truly appreciating him, or was he tormenting him?

Before Secretary Cui could wallow in his emotions, Wu Tai shouted, “Stop pretending to be dead!”

Wu Tai pulled at his pants, indicating, “I’m incredibly agitated right now!”

Secretary Cui immediately stood up and went out to make a call.

He knew Wu Tai’s temperament well. At this moment, if there weren’t a few celebrities, this agitation wouldn’t subside.

Wu Tai also had a fetish! He loved to play with Idol celebrities, and the more popular the female star, the more he liked her.

Secretary Cui, relying on the Wu family’s influence, had procured many female celebrities for Wu Tai for this purpose!

Most entertainment companies would give face to the Wu family.

After the call connected.

“Hello!” Secretary Cui ignored the blood seeping from his face and said with a grim expression.

The President of a certain entertainment company on the other end said fawningly, “Is that Secretary Cui? What are Young Master Wu’s orders?”

Evidently, this executive of the entertainment company was not surprised by Secretary Cui’s call; they were already familiar with each other.

“Quickly find a few people and send them over.”

“This…” The executive hesitated, “Now? Time is a bit tight.”

“It might be difficult to arrange something on such short notice. If we do arrange something, I fear Young Master Wu might not be satisfied.”

The executive had a headache. It was always so sudden; where was he supposed to arrange them from?

Wu Tai was also very picky. The more he played, the more discerning his taste became.

Now, just arranging a few people would probably not satisfy this scion’s appetite.

“Less talk.” Secretary Cui directly threatened, “Young Master Wu is very agitated right now.”

“You’d best not be as perfunctory as last time.”

“When Young Master Wu gets angry, you know the consequences,” Secretary Cui said sinisterly.

Secretary Cui thought, ‘That dog-spawn tried to pass off inferior goods as good quality last time, causing me to be severely scolded by Wu Tai.’

‘If this executive tries to fool him again, he shouldn’t blame me for taking out Young Master Wu’s anger on him!’

The executive said somewhat fearfully, “I guarantee the quality this time!”

“I also hope Secretary Cui can put in a good word for me in front of Young Master Wu.”

“Things aren’t like before now. The internet is developed, and things are being strictly monitored here, so I don’t have many options.”

“After all, this MS Entertainment isn’t just mine alone; my capabilities are limited.”

Secretary Cui said impatiently, “Got it! Young Master Wu won’t forget your favors!”

“I want to see the goods before 8 PM tonight!”

He knew this executive was asking for favors, currying favor with Wu Tai simply because his brother was Chairman Wu of Future Group.

This executive was also desperate for advancement, and he was pinning his hopes on Wu Tai.

Secretary Cui shook his head, thinking, ‘You’re probably currying favor with the wrong person.’

Wu Tai?

Didn’t he understand him?

To still want to advance was simply wishful thinking!
