I Got Divorced and Found a Thousand Bitcoins Episode 139

After hanging up the phone, President Wei Zhun stared down at his smartphone for a long time.

‘Assassination?’

The caller had been Chairman Choi Kang-hyeon from South Korea.

Not long ago, he had met him face-to-face and sent a request to enter Taiwan’s new logistics distribution industry.

It was a choice made thinking he was the most suitable candidate to fill Dashi’s vacant position.

‘He wasn’t particularly trustworthy, but since he became the company replacing Dashi in South Korea.’

He thought he would be able to do at least that much.

Above all, the fact that he was close to India’s Prime Minister Lao Xing was also one reason.

‘I thought that maintaining friendship with him would allow me to get closer to Prime Minister Lao Xing as well. But.’

But suddenly he contacted me and said that China was going to assassinate me.

Along with that, he added that China’s invasion of Taiwan was imminent.

‘I already knew that. Our intelligence department had also detected that war materials were rapidly moving to China.’

If Taiwan’s intelligence department had grasped it, then the US CIA and intelligence departments worldwide should have obtained related information.

This kind of information was virtually not a secret.

Among the heads of big tech companies or global corporations, some with fast information networks would have heard related information.

He didn’t think Choi Kang-hyeon was at that level, but giving him the benefit of the doubt, he thought he might be able to obtain information.

However.

‘He obtained information that they would assassinate me to end the war quickly?’

Where could he have obtained information about how China would conduct the war?

The fact that an individual knew information that even Taiwan’s intelligence department, the party involved, couldn’t obtain was unbelievable.

But it was also troubling to just dismiss it.

‘I should at least inform the security team. According to him, there’s a high possibility that Chinese agents are already in Taipei City.’

There was nothing wrong with being careful.

He immediately picked up the phone and contacted Taiwan’s intelligence department and the Presidential Office security service.

After informing President Wei Zhun of that fact, Kang Hyeon received one piece of news.

“Chairman, a report regarding Ms. Kim Eun-hye has come up from KH Entertainment.”

“Yes, I’ll check it right away.”

The report Kim Ha-ryul handed over contained the progress of Kim Eun-hye’s case.

‘This situation is also taking a strange turn.’

Kim Eun-hye was currently not affiliated with KH Entertainment.

Therefore, KH Entertainment was unable to take active measures regarding this false information dissemination.

So they demanded a strong response from BD Agency, her agency, but the agency was ignoring that demand.

‘The reason for treating Kim Eun-hye, such a cash cow, so poorly is because of past conflicts with the agency president?’

Could they really neglect an actress who brings in money for such a trivial reason?

It was incomprehensible, but he let it pass, thinking that various types of people exist in the world.

The problem was that the agency’s passive response was gradually escalating Kim Eun-hye’s case.

‘So KH Entertainment wants to step in.’

KH Entertainment stepping in wouldn’t just be at the level of actively responding to the media.

The report stated that they also wanted to take care of the actress.

This was strictly infringing on another company’s rights.

It was a matter that even a company president couldn’t decide arbitrarily.

‘That’s why they made the request to me.’

Supporting Kim Eun-hye would mean expanding KH Entertainment’s role.

And they could face media bombardment.

Articles about corporate tyranny could follow.

But he had no intention of just leaving it alone.

‘Should I try it here too?’

Kang Hyeon concentrated his mind while looking at the documents.

He had intentionally used his ability to confirm China’s invasion of Taiwan.

This time too, he tried to activate his ability to see if it would work.

As he concentrated, soon a part of the report began to glow red.

[Taking the lead in supporting Kim Eun-hye….]

The sentence about supporting Kim Eun-hye.

That part glowed red.

This meant one thing.

‘Supporting Kim Eun-hye would also benefit KH Entertainment.’

After confirming that.

He immediately released his concentration.

Then, as if it had been waiting, he felt hot liquid flowing down his chin.

When he raised his hand to urgently cover his chin, red blood came off on it.

“Blood flows even from such a short time?”

Still, the amount of bleeding was less than before.

It seemed that the amount of bleeding was determined by the concentration time.

“Damn, if I use this frequently, I’ll die from excessive bleeding.”

Kang Hyeon grumbled while hastily wiping it with tissue.

After receiving an answer from Kang Hyeon, Kim Jin-su immediately went to find Kim Eun-hye.

‘A person can change this much.’

Just one month.

Kim Eun-hye, who had been bright and healthy, was now haggard.

Her previous appearance was nowhere to be found.

Her thin appearance, as if she might collapse at any moment, showed how much mental anguish she had suffered.

“Ms. Eun-hye.”

“Yes, President.”

“I have something to discuss with you regarding this matter.”

“…I’m sorry, but could we not talk about that matter?”

Her emotional wounds seemed deep.

It was inevitable.

Her deepest secret with her past lover had been revealed to the entire world.

Even though the video didn’t exist, the wounds she suffered were indescribable.

Yet the public was sticking their fingers into those wounds and pulling out knives to tear them open.

The wounds grew larger and larger, and she, feeling the pain, became exhausted.

Eventually, she had reached a stage where she disconnected her consciousness to no longer feel the pain.

Bringing up the fact that she was hurt again to such a person was like reopening her wounds.

But Kim Jin-su was in a position where he had no choice but to bring up the topic.

He carefully opened his mouth.

“Certainly, if I bring up that story again, you’ll feel pain again. It will be painful enough to cause a mental breakdown. Even if I say I understand, I probably won’t be able to gauge the level of that wound.”

Kim Eun-hye looked at Kim Jin-su with lifeless eyes.

And she moved her parched lips.

“That’s right. My pain can be understood intellectually, but unless you’ve felt it the same way, you can’t know it. So won’t you just leave me alone?”

Her lips, as if she hadn’t properly consumed even water, cracked and blood flowed down.

But Eun-hye didn’t even wipe it away.

She had disconnected her consciousness from reality to the point where even this level didn’t register as pain.

Kim Jin-su took out a handkerchief and handed it to her while saying.

“Certainly, disconnecting from the world to heal wounds is one method. But if you do that, Ms. Kim Eun-hye, you’ll miss the opportunity that has come to your life.”

He spoke with sincerity.

“They say that in life, opportunities come to us several times. But people sometimes fail to recognize that these are opportunities. Only after much time has passed can they finally realize that it was an opportunity.”

Kim Eun-hye’s gaze, which had been directed toward the floor, turned back to Kim Jin-su.

“People regret opportunities they realize too late. But don’t you know well that this moment right now is an opportunity for you, Kim Eun-hye?”

He was right.

The opportunity that came this time allowed actress Kim Eun-hye to make herself known to the world.

And the opportunities continued.

She would be able to make her name known to the world and show her acting to the world.

“If you miss that opportunity due to other people’s envy and jealousy, won’t you regret it later?”

Kim Jin-su’s words didn’t sound like a sermon.

It seemed like he was telling her about something he had experienced firsthand.

So Kim Eun-hye asked.

“Have you ever missed an opportunity, CEO?”

At her question, Kim Jin-su wore a bitter smile.

“This might sound like an old man’s rambling, but when you reach my age, there’s no such thing as a life without regrets.”

“Was there something you regretted most among them?”

“Do you want to hear it? It would be a cliché and uninteresting story.”

“I want to hear it.”

For some reason, she wanted to hear that story.

Was it a sense of kinship?

Or did she want to be comforted?

She wanted to know that this kind of pain didn’t come only to her.

It could be called selfish.

It could also be called being a bad person.

But when cornered, anyone had no choice but to become selfish.

Kim Eun-hye thought this way and asked Kim Jin-su.

And Kim Jin-su opened his mouth as if he understood this.

“It was probably the day before I was about to debut as a director.”

Kim Jin-su slowly unfolded a cliché and predictable story.

While Kim Jin-su was meeting with Kim Eun-hye.

Kang Hyeon wanted to solve this problem definitively.

“Chairman, this is the material summarizing the police’s current position regarding Kim Eun-hye’s case.”

Kang Hyeon frowned after checking the material Kim Ha-ryul brought.

“Is this really true? Did the police really say they couldn’t catch them because they used a VPN to bypass?”

“Yes. That’s currently their position. They say it’s difficult to catch them because they bypassed through several places using not an ordinary VPN, but a special VPN.”

“To reveal their incompetence like this. I think it’s ridiculous.”

The police’s attitude was clearly wrong.

But the police showing this kind of attitude wasn’t a matter of just a day or two.

‘In ordinary cases, I would just let it pass, but I can’t just watch this one.’

Kang Hyeon picked up the phone.

He didn’t like using power, but this time was different.

‘I can’t just stand by and watch unfair treatment. Above all, she’s also the protagonist of a drama that will become our cash cow.’

Her departure could be bad news for The Founding of the Great Korean Empire.

Therefore, he needed to take care of her somehow.

Soon the dial tone ended and the other party answered the phone.

-Chairman Choi! What brings you to call me first?

“Minister Park, it’s been a while.”

The person who answered the phone was Minister Park Do-kyeong.

He contacted him because he was the highest-ranking person among the government officials he knew.

“Actually, I’m calling because I have a favor to ask.”

-Haha! If it’s a request from Chairman Choi, I should grant anything. Please speak comfortably.

Since Minister Park had received help several times, he readily accepted even though Kang Hyeon had mentioned the word “favor.”

“Actually…”

Kang Hyeon told Minister Park Do-kyeong about Kim Eun-hye’s case.

After hearing the entire story, Park Do-kyeong’s voice became serious.

-If it’s that case, I know it well since the media covers it frequently. But I don’t understand the police’s position on this.

Befitting the Minister of Science and ICT, he seemed not to understand the police’s response this time.

-The Police Chief and I have some friendship, so I’ll meet with him separately to discuss this.

“Thank you, Minister.”

-Haha! Not at all. I’ve received much help from Chairman Choi, so I should naturally do this much. I’ll contact you soon with good news.

“Yes, I’ll be waiting.”

After hanging up, Kang Hyeon sighed.

“Phew… Having connections with the government side is convenient at times like this.”

As long as the story reached the Police Chief, there was no possibility this matter would be buried like this.

‘Whoever the culprit is, just wait and see.’

It was time to show them that life is real combat.
