Chapter 10.1
"You."
"What are you talking about so abruptly? Barging in like this."
It was Kim Han-se who had burst through the door of the prosecutor's office. Woojin, who had been discussing work with the chief, turned towards him as he approached grumbling. In Kim Han-se's hand was a report on the investigation into the corruption of Chief Prosecutor Park Hyung-soo, who had recently received a prestigious alumni award.
"Why does this end up flowing to me? Who else but you could do something like this?"
Kim Han-se growled fiercely. Woojin snorted in disdain.
"I'm not the one, but shouldn't whoever it is be thankful? You wouldn't have been able to shake him off even if you came back from the dead."
"An investigation that ignores illegal surveillance, procedures, internal rules, and approvals is not an investigation."
"Then just pretend you don’t know."
"What?"
Kim Han-se bristled, seeming about to grab Woojin by the collar any moment. Unable to hold back his anger, his eyes seemed to flare red. The elderly Chief Hwang cautiously got up and approached to mediate between them.
"Prosecutor, our prosecutor knows nothing. He's been so busy with trace investigations lately. He hasn't slept properly for days."
Woojin nudged Chief Hwang, who had come between him and Kim Han-se, trying to stop the argument, signaling him to step away. Chief Hwang stepped back awkwardly.
