I Got Divorced and Found a Thousand Bitcoins Episode 153

[Gangnam Police Station will investigate this case without a shadow of doubt.]

[Please refrain from raising baseless and reckless suspicions.]

Cold sweat was streaming down the Police Chief’s forehead on the TV screen like rain.

Ha-ryul glared at the screen and clicked his tongue as if finding it absurd.

“Is that pathetic excuse what the Police Chief calls a briefing?”

“Running away without even taking questions from reporters.”

Kang Hyeon leaned deep into the sofa and let out a cold, hollow laugh.

“Such petty excuses can’t silence the foreign media.”

“Rather, it’s like properly pouring oil on a burning house.”

As Kang Hyeon said, the overseas media’s wave of attacks became even more fierce.

[NYT: Korean Police’s Clumsy Farce to Cover Up Gangnam Cartel.]

[BBC: The Worst Drug Scandal Fallout Born from Corrupt Public Authority.]

The forces behind controlling domestic media were powerless against foreign press.

Eventually, the situation snowballed uncontrollably into something massive.

Recognizing the severity of the situation, the Blue House directly stepped up to the microphone.

[The President views this situation very seriously.]

[Police leadership must stake their positions and thoroughly investigate the truth.]

As the Blue House Spokesperson spoke before the cameras, Ha-ryul said.

“The Office of the Senior Secretary for Civil Affairs directly called the National Police Commissioner. They seem greatly angered, even using the phrase ‘national disgrace.'”

When the Blue House’s stern order came down, the police leadership was turned upside down.

“The Gangnam Police Chief finally raised the white flag and stood at the briefing room again.”

Along with Ha-ryul’s report, the screen quickly switched to live news.

[We will tear down all sanctuaries and investigate thoroughly without a shadow of doubt!]

The Gangnam Police Chief bowed 90 degrees toward the camera in apology.

Though it was a reluctant promise, spilled water couldn’t be gathered back up.

When the police’s forced investigation began, a massive Pandora’s box opened.

“The first investigation target list has just been released to the media.”

The tablet screen Ha-ryul handed over was filled with familiar names.

“Not only famous celebrities but also major corporation owner families are included.”

“Names of minister-level high-ranking officials’ children also frequently catch the eye.”

A cold and chilling smile spread across Kang Hyeon’s lips as he scanned the list.

“Overseas study abroad graduates properly led this dirty game.”

“Yes. Most of those with overseas residence history got involved with drugs.”

“They created secret clubs among themselves to distribute drugs.”

As Kang Hyeon expected, public opinion was literally colored with shock and rage.

[Shocking! National Idol Celebrity D, Urgently Charged with Leading Drug Party.]

[High-ranking Officials’ Children’s Secret Debauchery. South Korea is Seriously Ill.]

As the investigation gradually expanded, additional shocking facts surfaced.

“The drug distribution route has been clearly identified as coming from Cambodia.”

“A large-scale Mafia Smuggling Organization from Cambodia is directly involved.”

At Ha-ryul’s report, Kang Hyeon rested his chin on his interlocked hands and narrowed his eyes.

“It’s gone beyond a simple drug use incident to massive international smuggling crime.”

“Yes. Headquarters urgently formed a special investigation team and deployed them to the field.”

“All the aces from the narcotics investigation unit have been mobilized for the investigation.”

As investigation authority transferred to headquarters, the scope of inquiry expanded uncontrollably.

The media’s tone also blazed toward a completely different direction than before.

[Historic Drug Gate. This special investigation won’t end easily.]

[Simple Tail-cutting Impossible. Thoroughly Investigating Even the Smuggling Organizations Behind.]

Kang Hyeon took his eyes off the monitor and looked down at the brilliant urban area outside the window.

“Now a massive hunting ground completely beyond our hands has opened.”

At Ha-ryul’s words, Kang Hyeon smiled leisurely and nodded lightly.

“The special investigation will continue boringly for a very long time ahead.”

“Those bastards will now taste hell while tearing at each other’s throats.”

According to his thorough plan, all public attention turned toward the massive drug scandal.

The actress rumor that was initially an issue was already of no concern.

‘With this, the trivial rumors related to Kim Eun-hye have completely evaporated.’

The pebble thrown through Black Bird had created a massive tsunami.

As the essence of the incident was perfectly shifted, the situation ended very cleanly.

“Contact Kim Eun-hye’s side and tell them to proceed with the scheduled activities as planned.”

“Yes. I’ll proceed with the prepared global photo shoot first without any disruption.”

Kang Hyeon took a sip of his remaining coffee and enjoyed the afterglow of perfect victory.

The price for daring to touch his person was harsh.

Kang Hyeon’s private jet landed at Taoyuan International Airport in Taiwan once again.

It was right after perfectly cleaning up the dirty scandal that occurred in South Korea.

Without rest, he headed straight to the logistics hub on the outskirts of Taipei.

Excavators and dump trucks moved ceaselessly over the large state-owned land.

“Initial foundation work is proceeding smoothly according to schedule.”

Ha-ryul handed over a hard hat while giving a brief and clear report on the site situation.

Kang Hyeon stared intensely at the logistics warehouse where massive steel frames were being erected.

“Are there any problems with material supply or site manpower mobilization?”

“Thanks to Wei Zhun President’s full administrative support, everything is under perfect control.”

“This will be Taiwan’s core logistics network. There must be no margin of error.”

At Kang Hyeon’s cold instruction, the Site Manager wiped his sweat and bowed his head.

However, rough discord could be heard beyond the seemingly perfect construction site.

“What are those people gathered at the entrance protesting so fiercely?”

At the end of Kang Hyeon’s gaze, dozens of people wearing red bands could be seen.

They were holding megaphones, shouting slogans, and attempting to enter the construction site.

“They’re small merchants belonging to the Taiwan Small and Medium Enterprises Association.”

“They’re fiercely opposing, claiming that giant logistics companies are killing neighborhood commerce.”

At Ha-ryul’s answer, Kang Hyeon narrowed his eyes and observed the menacing protesters.

Then, Wei Zhun President’s urgent contact came through Kang Hyeon’s secure smartphone.

[You don’t need to worry about the commotion at the site at all, Chairman.]

[It’s just simple whining. The government will forcibly suppress it immediately.]

The President didn’t think much of it, but Kang Hyeon’s judgment was completely different.

Kang Hyeon quietly opened his ability over the rough protesters and construction site.

‘A cold and terrible blue light is rippling over the protesters.’

An ominous light symbolizing decline and danger was covering the massive site.

‘If left alone, it will become uncontrollable massive riot flames.’

It was a very fatal crisis where a small spark could devour the entire Taiwan business.

“Mr. President. Forced suppression using force is absolutely not acceptable. Our KH side will directly step forward and solve this problem cleanly.”

Kang Hyeon firmly hung up the phone and immediately gave instructions to Ha-ryul.

A special response team was urgently formed in the temporary office.

Core logistics staff members sat around the meeting table with stern expressions.

“We need a win-win model that can instantly quell the fierce opposition from local merchants.”

At Kang Hyeon’s words, very heavy silence flowed through the meeting room.

“Simply handing over compensation money and covering it up has too clear limitations.”

“But we can’t give up on building the core Hyper delivery network either.”

The staff poured out various alternatives, but there was no sharp solution.

Win-win was close to contradiction in a structure that cruelly gnawed at each other’s pie.

An executive presented a passive alternative to delay entry into the alley commercial districts.

“Delaying market entry is just an excuse. Present a fundamental solution.”

When Kang Hyeon coldly reprimanded them, the meeting room atmosphere became even more suffocating.

At that moment, a young employee sitting in the corner of the meeting room suddenly raised his hand.

“How about applying the model from India here?”

It was Seo Ji-hun, a deputy from the overseas planning team of KH Logistics, young blood.

The executives’ sharp gazes instantly focused on the bold Seo Ji-hun.

Kang Hyeon rested his chin on his hand, met his gaze, and asked in a very dry tone.

“The India case. Specifically, what method are you suggesting we adopt?”

Seo Ji-hun displayed his prepared tablet screen on the main display without showing any signs of nervousness.

“We use the small mom-and-pop shops in the urban alley commercial districts as our delivery hubs. We actively utilize the spare corner spaces in the stores as our micro warehouses.”

Seo Ji-hun’s clear and confident voice definitively filled the meeting room.

“We pay the merchants storage fees, giving them new and stable income. We gain a perfect last-mile network that penetrates deep into the urban arteries.”

It was an excellent strategy that could achieve a perfect win-win without infringing on each other’s interests.

“It also perfectly matches the characteristics of Taiwan’s narrow and complex urban alley commercial districts.”

When Seo Ji-hun’s clear briefing ended, exclamations burst from the mouths of the previously rigid executives.

“But contracting individually with all those urban stores would require massive initial funding.”

The executive in charge of finance pointed out the realistic budget issue and expressed deep concern.

With infrastructure construction plus merchant fees, it would require truly astronomical capital.

But to Kang Hyeon, massive funding was merely a trivial concern.

“Don’t worry about initial funding. KH Capital will provide unlimited immediate support.”

The meeting room fell silent as a tomb at Kang Hyeon’s resolute and overwhelming funding declaration.

He immediately looked at Seo Ji-hun, narrowed his eyes, and quietly activated his ability.

‘Such vivid red light. Seo Ji-hun’s plan will definitely succeed perfectly.’

A deep and relaxed smile spread across Kang Hyeon’s lips as he was certain of future brilliant success.

“Deputy Seo Ji-hun. From now on, take charge as the general task force team manager for this mutual benefit project.”

Seo Ji-hun looked at Kang Hyeon with surprised eyes for a moment, then bowed his head vigorously.

“Thank you! I will immediately begin aggressive negotiations with the Small Business Owners’ Association!”

Kang Hyeon slowly rose from his seat and instructed all the executives in the meeting room.

“Buy time with money, and completely capture Taiwan’s public sentiment through mutual benefit.”

It was the moment of perfectly turning the blue crisis into a platform for massive leap forward.

Immediately after Kang Hyeon’s instruction, Seo Ji-hun rushed straight to the rough protest site.

“Representative of the Association! I’m Seo Ji-hun, general team manager of KH Logistics’ mutual benefit project!”

Seo Ji-hun boldly penetrated through the harsh megaphone sounds into the middle of the protesters.

The gazes of the merchants burning with anger all focused on the bold young team manager.

“You’ve killed us all and now you come talking about some pathetic mutual benefit!”

The association representative raised his voice and shouted angrily, but Seo Ji-hun didn’t back down at all.

He pulled out a tablet from his jacket and thrust forward the groundbreaking contract terms and profit structure.

“We will pay expensive fees to rent the spare empty spaces in your stores! In exchange for storage, we will definitely guarantee stable monthly fixed income to the merchants.”

The noisy protest site suddenly became mysteriously quiet as if cold water had been poured on it.

The merchants read through the groundbreaking mutual benefit contract that Seo Ji-hun presented intently.

It was groundbreaking terms to treat them not as those to be driven out, but as definite partners.

From the merchants’ perspective, it was an excellent proposal that would definitely make them money.

“Is, is this really the content that KH officially guarantees and proposes?”

The venom in the association representative’s voice had instantly melted away like snow.

Seo Ji-hun smiled confidently and nodded his head vigorously in response.

“This is a matter that Chairman Choi Kang-hyeon personally guaranteed all funding for and approved immediately.”

At that moment, the air at the deadly protest site completely and dramatically reversed.

Kang Hyeon, who had been watching that dramatic scene from afar, slowly turned from the window.

‘Now all of Taiwan’s alleys will become blood vessels connected to the heart of logistics.’

It was a perfect masterstroke that transformed fierce opposition into an overwhelming and powerful weapon.

A long message filled with overwhelming gratitude from Wei Zhun President arrived on Kang Hyeon’s phone.

[On behalf of the Taiwanese people, I express infinite gratitude for the Chairman’s excellent decision.]

He had secured both the trust of the political sphere and the enthusiastic support of local merchants.

All that remained was to pour massive logistics and capital over these perfect blood vessels.

Kang Hyeon immediately summoned Kim Ha-ryul and instructed the next phase of the massive business plan.

KH Group’s unstoppable global expansion began to blaze fiercely in Taiwan.
