Chapter 257 – Father and Daughter – 257
Episode 257.
If I explode, we all die together.
Unless you’re an idiot, there’s no way you can abandon me.
The belief that there is no way to throw him into a pit of fire as he is holding the bomb of illegal political funds as politicians have a greater desire to preserve their positions than anyone else.
It was the rope that allowed Lee Seok-hoon to maintain his final composure even in the worst situation.
But before he could throw it, the bomb exploded. It was even more powerful than the one he was carrying.
-Arrest 51 members of the OX party!
– The OX party, in fact, has reached a political party paralysis!
A weak murmur escaped Lee Seok-hoon’s mouth.
“Hey, how did this happen…”
Every day the situation changes and gets worse.
I wanted to leave the prison right away and find out how things were going.
Now he can’t even get out of the detention order.
All official property that could be paid for bail was confiscated, and those who were to be released in exchange were imprisoned in such prisons.
A month passed like that.
Soon, Lee Seok-hoon was forgotten. Even in the media, his name was no longer up and down.
Originally, it was a good thing and something to be happy about.
Instead of relief, Lee Seok-hun felt a terrible sense of anxiety.
The problem was that no one was looking for him.
In the past month, he has not been able to visit even once.
It’s just that it hasn’t become an issue in the media, but the investigation and trial are still going on.
If there is no one to help him from the outside, he will never escape imprisonment.
However, no contact.
‘If I get a prison sentence, it’s over.’
The honor as a member of the National Assembly and the comfortable future promised by the party will disappear like bubbles.
He was a neat man, but he had developed a habit of biting his nails.
As if standing on a fire, his restless body could not be controlled.
He has lived a life where he can perfectly control himself and his surroundings all his life, but at this moment, there was nothing Lee Seok-hoon could control.
‘…Daughter. My daughter If it’s a daughter, if it’s Eunseo…!’
He came up with the only person he could have complete control over.
Although the last contact was when he poured out his anger due to unexpected trouble not long before the incident, the daughter will never reject his contact.
However, Lee Seok-hoon realized.
That he doesn’t know his daughter’s phone number.
As he was detained in prison, there was no way he could touch his smartphone.
“Damn… Damn..! Abby is imprisoned and doesn’t come to visit?”
I understand that his concubines, who had changed into summer shorts, do not come to visit.
But if it’s a daughter, shouldn’t she come to visit her?
Lee Seok-hoon did not know.
Few ordinary people know that a suspect under arrest is imprisoned in prison.
Also forgot
He said the last thing he said to his daughter before he was taken into custody was, “Don’t appear in front of me again.”
The anger that boiled like lava became a cold boulder after another month and began to oppress his heart.
The prison guards who occasionally delivered outside news and news articles began to ignore him not too long ago.
It was a judgment that there would be no congo water to fall after hard work, and it was proof that Lee Seok-hoon had become a perfectly off-leash kite.
With no one looking for it, without even a promise of being able to get out.
It was all Lee Seok-hoon could do, just lying around like a doll abandoned in a trash can.
‘I didn’t live hard to meet this end.’
Born in a very poor family, he ran away from home and moved to Seoul, thinking only of success.
After three years in Seoul, he was able to cross the threshold of Seoeol University, the best university in Korea, using the money he saved by polishing the shoes of janitors and rubbing the shoulders of prostitutes as tuition.
I don’t want to live like a dog that’s been eaten. I want to achieve greater success than anyone else and rise to a higher place than anyone else.
With that kind of determination, he kept his senior position while shaving his body, and even after graduation, he was able to become a self-made man by taking an elite course.
‘I had to be satisfied there.’
If we compare his financial success to a staircase, he climbed only 12 steps.
A self-made man who was born without a spoon, realized that he could not climb the stairs of dozens and hundreds of steps above, and devoted himself to politics.
A self-made elite in Gaecheon!
Successful people led by the icon of success!
The OX Party, which liked the wrapping paper he spun while living, reached out.
17 years since joining the party like that. He was able to climb stairs that he could not climb alone.
‘I had to be satisfied when I climbed enough.’
He did not give up his ambition even though he felt limited again.
He had a desire to climb the stairs once again as a link between the yin and yang.
As a result, everything ended.
For the first time in his life, Lee Seok-hoon had a meeting with his life.
He fell into a sense of futility and despair.
It was a feeling for a wrong life that everyone would cherish if everything they had built up was gone.
“Eight charges, including embezzlement and illegal money laundering, have been proven by the defendant, but subsequent investigations have proven the circumstances of coercion by orders and threats from those who are clearly superior in power relations, such as Chung Chung-wook, former OX party representative, extenuating grounds. It is judged that there is a violation, and accordingly, the illegal property is seized and a fine of 240 million won is imposed.”
As if someone had a superpower. Things got better when Lee Seok-hoon gave up everything and became skeptical about his life.
The prison sentence, which he thought could never be avoided, ended to the extent that all his property was blown away.
However, Lee Seok-hun could not feel any inspiration.
Anyway, since he was convicted, his political life ended in a dishonorable ending, and those who should have supported him as a commoner were still imprisoned and investigated.
It means that there will be no big changes in the rest of his life whether he is imprisoned or not.
Disgrace of family (敗家亡身).
He lost all his possessions and was stained with filth.
Literally, Lee Seok-hoon has become a disgrace to his family.
‘Besides… This can’t be the end.’
This disaster, which started with the Southwest Breakwater Gate and spread to a great fire called the OX Gate, drew national attention and anger.
He said that he did not make any effort, but it means that he cannot look at Lee Seok-hoon, who escaped without serving a prison term, even though the charges were proven.
On the way out of the prison after changing into the suit he had been wearing from his prison uniform.
Unsurprisingly, people with angry expressions surrounded the prison gates.
“You bastard!”
“It’s not even 8 years old, and you run a gangster to get money?”
“Corrupt politician, no, rotten food waste Lee Seok-hoon, commit suicide!”
“Let’s live, let’s live!”
“If everything the trash has done is found out, I’ll be fine and get a prison term. Even if you do that, get out like a mudfish!!!”
Abusive language mixed with scolding from the lower class people who thought they would never hear it in their lifetime.
A rotten egg fell at his feet, shattering and giving off a stench.
Lee Seok-hoon closed his eyes without taking any action.
People took it as a kind of signal and started throwing eggs, flour, and rotten tomatoes that they had prepared.
Took! Tuduk! Puck! Dudududuk!
None of the party leaders who promised to repay them for their hard work do not show their faces.
Despite the fact that not all heavyweights are under arrest and investigation.
It means that Lee Seok-hoon now has nothing to see, as all the weaknesses he had in his hands with this gate have become useless.
The aides who said they would come to pick me up in the best car when I was released from detention did not even call me, let alone meet me.
They would have visited other congressional offices with a light butt as much as their flattery.
‘It’s all useless.’
The footprints he left behind and the human relationships he built were all denied.
Everything was gone, as pure white as a field covered with snow that had fallen the night before.
It was when I thought so.
Clumps of filth fell all over his body, the sensation of bumping disappeared, and someone hugged him tightly.
Familiar body scent felt at the tip of the nose. Seokhoon Lee opened his eyes.
The person who never thought of it, his daughter was embracing him and collecting filth instead.
“I’m sorry, Dad.”
Her daughter continued her words as the raw egg hit her face and her head swung.
“You came too late…? The road is blocked.”
He said that it was natural for him to come here, and Lee Seok-hoon began to tremble little by little.
His wife, who seduced and married for success, even gave him the title of a politician who misses his bereaved wife who died prematurely.
The only trace left by such a wife.
It was a marriage without love, and a daughter born without any intention of becoming a father.
To him, if raised well, it was just an existence that could be used in a useful way called an arranged marriage.
To the point that I only remembered it once during my months of imprisonment and even failed to contact him because I did not know his number.
To Lee Seok-hun, daughters were not a very important part of his life.
Such a daughter, Eunseo, appeared in front of him.
It remained as the only monumental Tower that did not collapse even in the fierce snowstorm among the things left behind during his sixty years of life.
Seokhoon Lee asked in a trembling voice.
“Why… Why did you come…?”
“Why?”
She laughed as Eunseo wiped the egg yolk that was staining Lee Seokhun’s hair with her sleeve.
“It’s my dad.”
[Titling. The quest – Dad realized love – has been completed.]
