The entrance to the Seoul Eastern Prosecutor's Office building.
More than fifty reporters rushed to the scene after hearing the news. Before Li Shanhao arrived, they all asked their colleagues: "How did you get the news?"
Some reporters said they received an anonymous text message, and some reporters said they received an anonymous phone call.
In short, the information they heard was that the Seoul Eastern Prosecutor's Office urgently summoned CJ CheilJedang Minister Lee Sun-ho to the prosecutor's office to assist in the investigation.
It is worth noting that an emergency summons was used, but reporters also saw important information in the news that Prosecutor Kwon Hyuk of the Criminal Division personally led a team to Lee Sun-ho's home to invite someone.
This is not just a summons, it can even be understood as an emergency arrest.
10:35
Two MPVs and a black car drove into the Eastern Prosecutor's Office.
Three cars stopped at the gate. A man in a suit and leather shoes with a prosecutor's nameplate got out of the passenger seat of the first MPV. He opened the back seat door and Li Shanhao appeared in front of reporters.
The flash lights converged into a dazzling white light in the dark night.
The accompanying police officers, investigators and others maintained order and opened the way. Quan He took Li Shanhao's arm and whispered: "Let's go."
The reporter was not willing to let go of the opportunity for an interview and asked several important questions.
Kwon Hyuk, who had already reached the door, stopped and faced the reporters and said: "Please be patient, the specific details of the case will be explained to everyone through the report meeting. What I can say at the moment is that the reason why Minister Lee Sun Ho was summoned
Assisting in the investigation is related to a narcotics case, above."
The dazzling nightlife has just begun.
No matter what content is being played on the TV screens in major restaurants, a piece of latest news is scrolling at the bottom of the program at the same time. CJ CheilJedang Minister Lee Sun-ho was urgently returned to the Eastern Prosecutor's Office to cooperate with the investigation.
Hannam-dong Villa
Lee Jae-hyun just finished calling Minister Kim of the Ministry of Justice and asked him to immediately take someone to the Eastern Prosecutor's Office to understand the situation.
Then he opened the small book he kept in the safe and made two phone calls. Unfortunately, the results of these two calls were not what he wanted.
The wife heard the angry scolding in the study and pushed the door in.
Before he could speak, Li Zaixian was heard roaring: "Who is behind the scenes? How could those photos fall into the hands of the prosecutors?"
What Li Zaixian suspected was several major shareholders of the company. They had all received photos of Li Shanhao smoking powder before. Li Shanhao was taken to the prosecutor's office tonight because of this matter. Someone reported that he smoked powder in the club.
The key evidence is the anonymous letters they have received before, which contain exactly the same photos.
"President Nim, please don't worry. Shanhao will be fine."
"It's okay? Do you know what Sun Kyung-sik said? The prosecutor who took Sun-ho away is your son Li Cheng-ho's person."
"Cheng Hao?"
"The good son you raised has good things to do and doesn't want to worry about the family business, and now he lets his men arrest his brother."
"President Nim, there must be some misunderstanding here."
Li Zaixian couldn't listen at all. He felt upset when he looked at the woman in front of him. After scolding her, he sat on the office chair in a daze.
He is old, but he is not the kind of person who believes whatever he hears.
Why did Son Kyung-sik know that Lee Sun-ho was taken away by the prosecutor before the news came out? It can only mean that he and Lee Sun-ho were together at the time.
And the person who took away Li Shanhao, Sun Kyung-sik, also knew that he was from Li Chenghao. Why did Li Chenghao's people suddenly take away Li Shanhao?
Even if they were competing for the position of president, they would not be able to publicize negative information that would affect the group in front of outsiders.
The most likely possibility is that Li Shanhao did something to anger Li Chenghao, or threatened Li Chenghao, so Li Chenghao fought back against him.
After much hesitation, Li Zaixian finally dialed Li Chenghao's number.
Seongbukdong Villa
After returning home, Li Chenghao stayed in the study.
He also saw the news about Lee Sun-ho being taken away through the news. Several people called Lee Seong-ho, including Im Jong-seok, the chief secretary of the Blue House, and Lee Jae-myung, the governor of Gyeonggi Province.
But the call Li Chenghao wanted to answer was not from them, but from Li Zaixian.
After waiting for almost twenty minutes, Li Zaixian finally called.
"President nim"
Li Zaixian scolded him head-on: "Li Chenghao, how could you do this to your brother?"
"I don't understand what President Nim is talking about."
"Are you still pretending to be confused in front of me? Sun Jingzhi has already told me that the prosecutor who took away Shanhao is yours."
Li Chenghao was silent for a moment and then said: "President Nim, I will take time to go home and explain the reason to you another day."
Hearing what Li Chenghao said, Li Zaixian was more certain of his suspicion, but he hoped that Li Chenghao would let his people release Li Shanhao first, but Li Chenghao told him that Li Shanhao could not come out.
In an instant, Li Zaixian lost the majesty of the chairman and said tremblingly into the mobile phone: "Shanhao and you are both my sons. What do you do to the family's face?"
"President Nim, this is not a matter of face. I have other things to deal with. I will go home and explain the reason another day."
end call
Li Chenghao has already determined that the people who are lining up with the national power and preparing to deal with him are Son Kyung-sik and Lee Sun-ho. Chairman Lee Jae-hyun does not know these things at all.
"Dong dong dong"
Gently pushing open the study door, Iu came to Li Chenghao with a cup of hot milk.
He wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it. He watched Li Chenghao drink the hot milk and only said: "If you need anything, call me anytime. I'll be outside."
"You go to sleep, I'll take care of some things and then go back to the bedroom to rest."
"It doesn't matter. I'm waiting for you. Don't feel pressure. I've seen the news. No matter what others say, I will believe you and support you."
iu left the study room
Li Chenghao opened the computer page, and other subsequent news kept refreshing the hot search topics. Reporters speculated that the topic of the inheritance battle was the most popular among them, and it also triggered cautious discussions among many people.
He was about to read other related news, but when he clicked in, he found that the news had been removed from the shelves. Li Chenghao knew that it was Li Zaixian who took action. His purpose was simple, to save the face of the Li family of CJ Group.
Interrogation Room of the Criminal Division of the Eastern Prosecutor's Office.
Li Shanhao looked at Kwon Hyuk with a serious face and mocked: "I didn't expect you to be so loyal, but I'm curious, can you withstand the consequences if you fail to frame me this time?"
"Li Shanhao, I summoned you today to ask you to cooperate with the anesthetic case. I am not here to listen to your nonsense."
"Papa pa pa"
After applauding, Li Shanhao said indifferently: "Prosecutor Quan, everything must be based on evidence. Where is the evidence? What kind of narcotics case did I participate in?"
"Don't worry, I don't dare to invite you here in the middle of the night without evidence. Now we will start a formal trial on the case of reporting that a club in Jiangnan smoked powder and illegally brought marijuana into the country."
"You have the right to remain silent and you have the right to hire a lawyer, but everything you say may become evidence in court later."
