He lost consciousness due to a blow to the back of his head along with the voice of Namgoong Hyeok, who was trying to hold his feet as sacrifices to his subordinates earlier.
〈But where did you get the gourd? To think of something like this… … .〉
While Namgoonghyeok was talking as if he was shocked and was turning the unconscious man around, Eunyul approached Hajun Kang.
The blood flowing from his arm dripped from his fingertips. And I knew I had said something pointless when I saw that he never looked okay. Eun-yul grabbed Kang Ha-jun’s uninjured arm.
〈Let’s go to the hospital together.〉
Kang Ha-jun carefully removed the arm grabbed by Eun-yul. And then he caressed Eunyul’s worried face.
〈I have somewhere to go.〉
〈You can go after treatment.〉
Eun-yul shook her head and wanted treatment first, but Kang Ha-jun answered with a faint smile.
〈I’ll be back soon.〉
What should be more of a priority than his body right now? Eunyul resisted the urge to stop him and nodded.
〈Come quickly.〉
Kang Ha-jun stroked Eun-yul’s cheek one last time and then turned around. The blood dripping from Kang Ha-jun’s hand left a trace where he passed. Even after seeing that, Eunyul couldn’t follow him.
Meanwhile, Namgoonghyuk approached and grabbed Eunyul’s shoulder. Looking behind him, I saw the police and Park Joo-hwan, who I don’t know when showed up, sorting out the situation.
〈Kang Ha-jun, I will follow you and give you first aid, so don’t worry, go to Je-ha.〉
In response to Eun-yul’s greeting, Namgoong-hyuk ruffled his hair and followed Kang Ha-jun.
After that, Eun-yul came to Hyun Je-ha and Soon-i’s restaurant. Hyun Je-ha’s father, Hyeon Seong-hun, also came and told me what I had experienced. After that, he was protected by the police to avoid any possible threats. The good news was that Lim Bong-soon was not in the restaurant.
Thanks to Hyun Je-ha continuing to stay with Haneul, Eun-yul could only think about Kang Ha-jun.
How many times have I sighed and suppressed countless negative thoughts? At the sound of the door opening and ringing, Eunyul froze in her head-down position.
The sound of someone’s footsteps coming inside. The sound of each step hitting the floor is deliberate. I don’t rush, but I don’t hesitate either. The exact moment when the sound coming towards you disappeared.
“I’m back.”
Warmth reached Eunyul’s body.
Upon hearing Kang Ha-jun’s voice, which she had been waiting for so long, Eun-yul raised her head and looked at his face, then got up from the chair and touched his body.
“Where are you hurt?”
“are you okay. “It’s late because I had to get proper treatment.”
Hajun Kang showed his arm. Only after looking at the carefully wrapped bandages and confirming that there were no other injuries, did Eunyul let go of the fragments of tension that had been planted throughout his body.
“I was worried a lot.”
Eun-yul didn’t have the strength to speak, so she nodded, and Kang Ha-jun hugged her.
“Nothing dangerous happened. “It just took time because there was a lot to prepare.”
If so, that was fortunate. As I was held in Kang Ha-jun’s arms and smelled his pheromones, my shrunken heart began to return to its original state little by little.
“It’s all over now, right?”
So I asked if there was anything more dangerous. This wasn’t something that only Kang Ha-jun could say. He heard from Hyeon Je Ha that the man was targeting Haneul. Whether it was Kang Ha-jun or Ha-neul, if there was no more danger, he did.
“hmm… … .”
Ha-Jun Kang thought about it while crying and nodded. His eyes scanned the interior of the restaurant for a moment and then turned to Eun-yul.
“I guess we don’t have to worry about it anymore.”
His voice was as light as if it were flying. So Eunyul closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. It felt like I could rest all my sighs for the next year today.
“Then that’s it.”
As long as everyone was safe, nothing else mattered.
Eun-yul hugged Kang Ha-jun’s waist tightly.
* * *
“It’s all about Rep. Kang.”
“What on earth is going on?”
“The list of people receiving entertainment was also uploaded this morning. Have you seen it?”
“Explain everything!”
Most of the primary candidates who appeared at the national convention criticized Kang I-heum.
It felt as if it was a place to explain Kang I-heum’s corruption.
Kang Iheum glared at the congressman who pointed his finger at me without hesitation.
At the meeting where the party leader had to be chosen, everyone was casting critical glances at me. Now we can no longer expect party member votes.
‘damn.’
All kinds of media outlets talked about the kickbacks I received, and the people turned their backs on me.
It was the moment when the political life of Kang I-heum, who had been greedy for the presidency using the position of party leader as a stepping stone, was shaken the most.
We must not be dragged along like this. Kang Iheum hit the table to silence everyone.
“It’s all a sham.”
Kang Yi-heum made eye contact with each person and gave strength to his voice.
“I never did that. Do I look like a person who deserves entertainment and such?”
Kang I-heum denied all suspicions related to him as if they were ridiculous.
“I am rather suspicious of this situation. “Who didn’t open this fabricated ledger as if they had been waiting for it?”
Kang I-heum made eye contact with the only person among the primary candidates who kept his mouth shut.
Cheolseung Han.
Seeing him as if he were a lonely crane, I couldn’t miss him so much.
‘Are you going to drag me out?’
You may be thinking that if you fall, he will rise up.
‘I can’t leave it like that.’
Kang Yi-heum opened his mouth without turning his gaze on Han Cheol-seung.
“Why did you do that?”
“What do you mean?”
In response to Han Cheol-seung’s calm and weak reply, Kang I-heum took out an envelope of documents from his pocket. You wouldn’t have known I had prepared this.
“here!”
Kang Iheum held up an envelope of documents as if for everyone to see.
“There are pictures of two people trying to pressure me.”
Because of this, he attended the national convention today. Because he was convinced that with this photo he could turn the situation in my favor.
The nearest lawmaker put his hand on the document envelope out of curiosity. When he put his hand inside the envelope, what he caught were several photos.
The congressman, who was looking at the photos one by one, looked at Han Cheol-seung with an expression that did not know what to say.
Han Cheol-seung didn’t even turn his head as if he wasn’t curious about what was being filmed.
“This is evidence that two people conspired to drive me out. “Look.”
Kang I-heum’s voice grew louder.
In a situation where it was obvious that he would be attacked at the national convention, he was accidentally caught while looking for a way to divert attention.
This was something I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t bribed Han Cheol-seung’s driver and heard from him the story of meeting Kang Ha-jun.
I can’t forget the joy that went up my spine the moment I saw the two captured in the black box.
‘Do you think you can dare to touch me and get away with it?’
It was an opportunity to send Han Cheol-seung and Kang Ha-jun to the abyss all at once.
“Is it true?”
In response to Rep. Han’s question, Han Cheol-seung looked at Kang Yi-heum and nodded.
“It is true that I met Executive Director Kang Ha-jun.”
When Han Cheol-seung acknowledged, Kang I-heum clenched his fist. He knew it would be like that. Because I know that this person’s personality is such that he would never lie, I deliberately revealed that the two of them had met separately before.
“Please explain it to me. Why is that like that? “Why did you frame me?”
Kang Yi-heum could not hide his excitement at the turn of events and pushed Han Cheol-seung as if he had made up all the suspicions against him.
Han Cheol-seung let out a heavy sigh.
“I wasn’t going to bring it up here.”
He acted as if he was sorry that this situation had come about. His eyes sparkled with the expression on his face.
If Han Cheol-seung is kicked out, the party leader will be mine.
“This is what I received from Executive Director Kang Ha-jun, whom I met at the time.”
Han Cheol-seung held the envelope of documents he received from his aide.
“The contents inside are not Rep. Kang’s ledger. So I decided it wasn’t a story to bring up here, but I had no choice.”
As Han Cheol-seung held the document envelope, another lawmaker took it again and took out what was inside. And as soon as I turned over a few pages of documents, I stopped.
“This, this… … .”
Kang I-heum frowned at the reaction of the lawmaker who was too embarrassed to speak properly.
The situation I induced should not have changed. However, the congressman’s expression was unusual.
What on earth is it about? … .
While he was not willing to extend his hand and ask for it, Han Cheol-seung opened his mouth very heavily.
“This is about the late Eunjung Lee.”
When he heard his ex-wife’s name, Kang I-heum’s eyes turned bloodthirsty.
“What now… … .”
Kang Yi-heum, who could no longer bear it, stood up and directly snatched what was in the lawmaker’s hand. I wondered why there were so many rumors about something that was already over… … .
“This, this!”
These were materials that refuted everything that was dismissed as not guilty at the time.
It wasn’t prepared in a short time.
“Rep. Kang I-heum.”
A new group appeared in front of Kang Yi-heum, who was reading the text frantically.
“We are arresting you on charges of murder, the late Eunjung Lee.”
It was the prosecutors and police who came with an arrest warrant. And Kang Yi-heum soon found Hyun Seong-hun standing behind them.
“Let’s go together.”
I thought we could definitely overcome this crisis. I thought it was an opportunity to get Han Cheol-seung’s photo, but why… … .
“When I handed over the black box, I thought it was done, but it turned out to be a shame.”
