God of Money-Chapter 166 - Richest of them all

Woosung had huge followings, so the number of article views increased as well as the relevant comments.

“Is this all Daeyang’s doing?”

“So FTC was pushed by Daeyang to do this investigation?”

“We need to find out the truth!”

“If this article is true, this is serious stuff.”

“Can’t trust our government.”

“I support KND moving its headquarter.”

Many were still skeptical of the article, but most supported Woosung.

The article was about how Daeyang was behind all the unfair investigations on KND.

When the public began to protest, the producers and the broadcasting station of 60 Minutes finally admitted the truth.

“It’s true.”

“The episode on KND was created due to the pressure from the top.”

“The broadcasting station and the producers were promised incentives and ad opportunities from Daeyang.”

Daeyang quickly released an official follow-up statement denying everything.

“We have never done such a thing. We are unaware of this ‘deal’ with the producers and the station.”

“We will be filing a lawsuit for defamation of character.”

“Legal actions are underway.”

“Truth will be revealed.”

Daeyang hired the best law firm in the country, Josun, to sue the broadcasting station and the producers. Woosung announced quickly following this news.

“KND will pay for the lawyers to defend those from the broadcasting station.”

Things were going according to Woosung’s plan.

Good vs. evil.

The public now saw Daeyang as the evil against Woosung, who was the heroic good.

While the lawsuit was taking place, a report consisting of 20 pages was released.

“Corruption in Daeyang.”

It was a detailed list of bribery Daeyang gave to different agencies, government officials, and the media. The list went on and on.

It was sensational news that shook the country.

This gave courage for those who were suppressed by Daeyang to surface.

“Daeyang frequently abuses small companies. Late payments for the materials and pressuring to lower unit prices.”

“Daeyang interfered with the labor union formation.”

Choi Taemin screamed.

“Who the hell released this information?”

“We believe Chun Gisu and Jang Hyunho did it.”

“Bastards!”

Choi Taemin felt dizzy from anger. He sat down.

His secretary continued, “They are nowhere to be found. We have our security department searching for them right now.”

Choi Taemin gritted his teeth.

He yelled, “Find them! Use everything we have to find them! Get the police and the NIS involved if necessary!”

“Y… yes, sir.”

“You don’t even have to bring them alive. Kill them. Make it look like a suicide. Understand?”

“Y… yes.” The secretary answered nervously.

A private room in a Seoul restaurant.

Woosung asked Chun Gisu and Jang Hyunho, “Are you guys ready?”

Both hesitated.

Woosung continued, “I will have the best bodyguards to protect you. You will also be provided with the best lawyers in the country. I am ready to spend unlimited funds to protect you. What you do for me will be worth it.”

“A… are you sure we will be safe?”

Woosung nodded and replied, “Yes, and I always keep my promises.”

“…”

“I know what Choi Taemin is like. I know how he treated you and what he is capable of, yet are you still loyal to him?”

“…”

“What do you think would have happened in two years if you haven’t left Daeyang? I thought you left because you knew. Daeyang was about to dissolve anyway. If you remained in that company and something happened to Daeyang, who do you think Choi Taemin would blame? You two would have ended up in jail instead of him.”

This seemed to convince them.

Jang Hyunho sighed deeply and asked, “What about our families?”

“My security team is on it already. Nothing will happen to you or your families. If you want, I will arrange for new secret houses your family can use. I can move your families to America too. Your children will be sent to the best schools there.”

Jang Hyunho nodded. “Alright. Let’s do this.”

Woosung turned to Chun Gisu. “What do you think?”

Chun Gisu bit his lips. He was confused. He didn’t know what to do.

Woosung asked, “Do you really think Chairman Choi Gunwon’s stroke was by a natural cause?”

Chun Gisu gulped down cold water. He knew that it was Choi Taemin’s doing. His own father…

Woosung continued, “If he could do that to his father, do you think it will be hard for him to do it to you guys?”

Chun Gisu finally answered, “I’m ready.”

Woosung smiled. The staffs started to prepare the room. A camera was placed within the room as well.

“Hello. My name is Chun Gisu, and I used to work as a high ranking official in Daeyang. I worked for this company for many years, but I could no longer allow myself to be involved in such atrocious activities.” Chun Gisu took a sip of water and continued, “The documents recently released are all true. These corrupt actions were directly ordered by the previous Chairman and the current Vice president. I felt guilty and horrible.”

He paused for a breath.

“So I decided to give myself up. I wanted the truth to come out. I will provide further details to the prosecutors.”

The next video released revealed Jang Hyunho, which had similar content.

“Hello. My name is Jang Hyunho, and I used to work at Daeyang for many years. While I worked there, I have learned some horrible things about this company. Any time there was a problem, Daeyang always used money to make it go away. I was always in fear of my life. I finally decided that enough was enough, and that is why I am standing in front of you now.”

Jang Hyunho’s video went on for a few more minutes.

The number of views of these two videos went up quickly.
