Chapter 342: Where Are They?
YG Entertainment, Chairman’s Office.
Bang!
The sound of a vase shattering could be heard clearly even outside the office.
The staff working outside the door all played ostrich, each one afraid that Yang Hyun-suk, in his rage, would vent his anger on them.
They had all seen the news online; they never expected that the mastermind behind the widely discussed Slave Room incident was related to their company.
It’s terrifying!
If this is true, they wouldn’t become accomplices, would they?
Many people were already secretly wondering if they should resign quickly.
Yang Hyun-suk didn’t know that many people below him were already thinking of running away; at this moment, his mind was filled with thoughts of who was plotting against him.
Yang Hyun-suk leaned against his desk, his eyes bloodshot, breathing heavily.
Anger had clouded his mind, and his thoughts were starting to become unclear.
He couldn’t understand why Du Mingxiu would say he was the one who instigated it? Even if he wanted to drag someone down with him, why would he target their YG?
As for the online speculations…
Although he really didn’t want to admit it, setting aside the identity of the person involved, if it were him, he would also think it was YG.
All this information points to him; he himself was starting to wonder if he did it.
No!
He knew it wasn’t him, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t YG!
Yang Hyun-suk felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He realized something he had overlooked.
He and YG were not synonymous; no company could operate like DM Entertainment, where Jiang Shu's word was law.
He, Yang Hyun-suk, certainly didn’t do this, but he couldn’t guarantee that other people at YG hadn’t.
Damn it!
The anger that Yang Hyun-suk had just suppressed flared up again.
Could it be that there really was a ghost within?
If there really was a ghost within…
A cold expression appeared in Yang Hyun-suk’s eyes.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
The shrill ringing of the desk phone startled Yang Hyun-suk; already in a bad mood, he was startled by this, slammed his hand on the desk, and reached for the phone.
“What is it!” Yang Hyun-suk’s chilling voice rang out.
“Chairman! There are a few prosecutors who claim to be from the District Prosecutor’s Office and want to see you!”
Listening to the voice on the phone, Yang Hyun-suk’s pupils suddenly contracted.
…
The news of Chief Prosecutor Choi Minxiu summoning the heads of the four major companies quietly spread. The difference was that the heads of the other three companies were called to the District Prosecutor’s Office for questioning, while only Yang Hyun-suk, the head of YG, was met by Chief Prosecutor Choi Minxiu and his team, who personally went to YG for the discussion.
This unusual attitude couldn’t help but raise greater suspicion.
YG was already highly suspicious, and now it seemed to confirm that point even more.
On the sixth day after the Slave Room case was made public, which was the day after Chief Prosecutor Choi Minxiu met with the four heads, Chief Prosecutor Choi Minxiu stated in a media interview that there had been a very optimistic breakthrough in the case. The suspect, Du Mingxiu, had reached his limit in speaking, and they were working hard. Once the identity of the mastermind was known, they would immediately begin collecting evidence and making arrests.
The public was excited to hear this news, filled with curiosity about the mastermind’s identity.
But a part of the public also felt that something was not quite right.
Publicizing case proceedings was not unheard of, but it usually lagged behind the actual progress. For a case like this to have its progress announced in real-time… wasn’t this giving the mastermind time to clean up loose ends?
But before those with discerning minds could think too deeply, an explosive piece of news completely shattered everything that existed.
On the seventh day after the Slave Room case was made public, the suspect “Professor” Du Mingxiu died suddenly at the Seoul First Detention Center!
Dead?
The Professor died in the detention center?
The moment this news broke, all of Korea exploded.
First, IZONE was embroiled in public controversy, then the fan Slave Room incident was exposed, and later, through the Professor, one of the four major entertainment companies was implicated.
The investigation grew larger and larger, and the public attention became higher and higher, to the point where it almost had the attention of the entire nation.
And then what?
You’re telling me the main culprit, the only one who knew the mastermind’s identity, died in the detention center?
Who did it?
YG!
Let alone the public, even the members of the special investigation team’s first reaction was that it was this company.
Immediately, everyone inside the detention center was brought under control. In addition, all high-ranking officials of YG were also brought under control. The Prosecutor General attached great importance to this case and arranged a large number of personnel to investigate the matter.
They were determined to get to the bottom of it!
Meanwhile, as the outside world was in turmoil, at Jiang Shu's home.
Su Xueyun looked at Jiang Shu, who was sitting opposite her, with a complex expression. He was eating snacks as if nothing had happened, watching the related media reports with great interest.
As one of the executors who had personally experienced the complete plan, Su Xueyun was too clear about how the incident had step by step led to the current situation.
“Is it really necessary to go to such lengths?”
“What are you referring to?” Jiang Shu asked without lifting his head.
“Business competition, why does it have to escalate to the level of human life?”
“Are you suspecting me?” Jiang Shu chuckled, then looked up at Su Xueyun and asked.
“I went through the entire plan; whether it’s you or not, I know very well,” Su Xueyun said, staring intently at Jiang Shu.
The man in front of her made her feel extremely unfamiliar.
So ruthless…
That was a living human life.
Just gone?
“Doesn’t his crime deserve death?” Jiang Shu said with a chuckle.
“He deserves to die, but he shouldn’t have died by your hand.”
“I didn’t kill him,” Jiang Shu said, shaking his head. “The murderer is still being investigated; you’re so certain it was me, but that’s slander.”
Su Xueyun looked at Jiang Shu, who remained impenetrable even when it was just the two of them, and for a moment, she felt a sense of daze.
It turned out that she, his cousin, was never trusted by him either.
No, perhaps he had never trusted anyone from the beginning to the end.
“I want to go back to my country,” Su Xueyun said after a long silence.
She was afraid that if she stayed in Korea any longer, her nominal cousin would sell her for a good price.
“Of course.” Jiang Shu smiled, seemingly seeing through Su Xueyun’s thoughts. “Once this matter settles, I will personally send you and your brother-in-law back to your country.”
Su Xueyun nodded silently.
To expose him?
Not to mention that she was merely dissatisfied with Jiang Shu’s methods, far from wanting to sacrifice family for justice. Simply put, if she spoke out, who would believe her?
Moreover, to be able to kill someone in a detention center, the person who did it must be an insider.
Under such circumstances, she would report Jiang Shu?
Is she looking for death?
“Do I need to stay at home?” Su Xueyun asked proactively.
Lowering all her defenses, showing harmlessness.
“No need.” Jiang Shu glanced at her. “I still need you to take over YG’s inheritance.”
Su Xueyun was startled, and then her whole body trembled.
She understood!
She finally understood!
Everything Jiang Shu did, even sacrificing IZONE, his goal all along was YG! It was YG, one of the Big Four!
After acquiring the second largest shareholder of S.M., Jiang Shu was still not satisfied; he wanted more!!!
So that’s it…
That’s how it is!
