Absolute Advantage Chapter 58.2

When Director Choi returned back, Li Yu-yen sighed deeply. Li Yu-yen muttered, rubbing his convulsed face with one hand.

“He's really crossed an irreversible river.”

“What?”

“I can't believe in human beings like you to bring them abroad.”

“You're talking too much, young man.”

Adam's eyebrows curled in a smile. He shrugged his shoulders to correct Li Yu-yen's words.

“It's not because of me, it's because of Chairman Seo. The fear of Chairman Seo has clouded his judgment.”

“You're the one who instigated it.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

Adam grinned.

Li Yu-yen kicked his tongue. He didn't feel good because he felt like he used Director Choi. But at this time, Adam had an advantage only when he disappeared.

By the time Director Choi returns to Korea, there will be no help. Only the ruins with nothing are waiting for him.

It was also if he came back alive. Adam didn't promise Director Choi's safety.

“Ellie was arrested?”

Blood stood out under Chairman Seo's forehead skin.

As Li Yu-yen expected, the Seohwa group is on alert. When Director Choi, the head of the owner-risk team, disappeared, the subordinates underneath were confused.

It was impossible to even grasp the proper situation at the headquarters. In particular, Chairman Seo delegated all of Ellie's problems to Director Choi. She was paying dearly for her neglect only today.

“Where is Director Choi?”

“Well, he has been out of touch since early this morning.”

“What?”

When Chairman Seo shot back sharply, the lawyer bowed his head.

“What is the rest of the owner-risk team doing? Why aren't there any proper reports yet!”

“I'm sorry. They've got a lot of phone calls here and there, so I'm afraid they're delayed in dealing with it.”

“Do you call that an excuse?”

“I-I'll send someone to check immediately.”

“You're not worth your money.….”

Chairman Seo gritted her teeth.

“Headquarters consultants, call them in. Now!”

Lawyer Kim rushed out of the room due to Chairman Seo's disapproval. Chairman Seo slammed the desk. The wooden executive desk shook.

“Hoo.”

Chairman Seo took a slow breath and called somewhere.

“It's me. I'll see you today.”

A sitting room in a fancy Japanese restaurant. There were two people sitting opposite each other.

Bluefin tuna sashimi on a luxurious ceramic plate was placed on the table, but it remained in its original state as if it were an edible ornament.

“Let's have a drink first.”

“Oh, yes, Madam.”

When Chairman Seo held out the bottle, the man bowed his head politely and raised the glass.

It was Mr. Heo, a senior prosecutor. The two were alumni of the university and were seniors and juniors.

“So, what the police are after is an opposition lawmaker?”

“Yes, that's right.”

“If that's the case, then it looks bad. He paid the broadcasting company to ask about her corruption and the sending out the drunk driver of the actor from the agency, Seohwa.

“Oh, by the way. It's already been more than half a year. He's very vicious. It's just that she's running around here and there just wanting to live alone.”

Mr. Heo helped Chairman Seo with his tongue clenched. Then he gently turned his head and drank a glass of alcohol.

He put down his glass and looked at the chairman.

“I'm ashamed of the youngest lady.”

Mr. Heo made an expression of resentment.

“Then what can we do? There's a lot of fuss from the higher-ups right now that we have to weave him together with his family and send them away.”

There was nothing like a family issue to end a politician's life.

“Let's see. His wife plagiarised papers, his father-in-law speculates on real estate, and his family manipulates stock prices.”

Mr Heo folded his fingers one by one, spread his palm wide, and lightly hit the table.

“He has only one son left. So this guy's a gambling addict? We've been waiting for months, and we've just got solid evidence and we've raided.”

It was Adam who gave the report. Naturally, Chairman Seo and Mr. Heo would not have known that.

“If I knew there would be the youngest daughter of Seohwa Group involved, I wouldn't have broken the door and let her go. I really didn't know you had your youngest daughter.”

The chairman looked so frustrated that she was going to die. She didn't ask him to meet her to hear this complaint.

“So, is there no other way?”

“It's hard to separate only the youngest daughter because there's a lot of surveillance eyes here and there. Please cut me some slack, Sunbae. It's not as easy as picking fish out of a bucket.….”

Mr. Heo sighed deeply.

“Enough.”

Chairman Seo jumped up.

“Gosh! I'll try to prevent media exposure as much as I can.”

Mr. Heo knelt down and begged obsequiously. Chairman Seo looked down at him with her eyes wide open.

“You'll have to do better than that congressman. Make sure the media doesn't show the Seo-hwa Group.”

Chairman Seo grit her teeth.
