After 12 Hours

Spider Hunting (6)

I listened to the phone. If reporter Kang Ju-hyuk talks about something here, you can catch the real darkness on top. Reporter Kang Juhyuk said in a trembling voice.

“No, it's... it's... it's Ms. Grant."

Maybe it's the fear. I think I'm losing my mind. I said as calmly as I could.

“Yes, go ahead. ”

“I... I'd like to see it for myself. ”

“In person?”

“Yes.”

“That's great. I was going to serve you a meal...”

“Where... is this crowded place... You said you live in Gangnam? ”

“Yes, it's near Gangnam Station. ”

He continued to speak in a trembling voice.

“Oh, I see. Right. Gangnam Station has a lot of people. Excellent... Excellent. I'll get back to you. I'll talk to you in person. ”

“... Of course. ”

After the call, I looked at my phone for a moment.

‘You're afraid of the devil being dragged to hell, too. ’

But as long as it's me, there's no way I can help him. The odds have already been lifted, and the emergency construction plan is for our company and investors from all over the country to run with knives and forks. Emergency construction will only cause the stock price to decline after the lower limit for a while. Not only that.

The Jinyang development where they placed their downward bets almost caused the ants to rush in, smelling sweet as well as institutional investors and foreign investors. Ants are scarier in times like these. because they are literally irrational and they stock up until they burst into a bubble.

"Loss is certain. This is already spilled water. There's no way I can help him.

Of course, if I take my savvy and conserve the other side's losses, you may find it. But, of course, that's ridiculous. If I had that money, I'd rather support children starving to death on the other side of the planet. Even if he grabs my crotch and stretches, there's no turning back. He will know that, too. If you're in your right mind.

‘Now that I hear your voice, I feel like I'm out of my mind, and you're calling me... it doesn't mean anything. The only way he could survive was to turn himself in and go to jail. ’

Maybe that's better. If you go to prison, you will be able to save at least your life.

‘In the American drama, prisons die from other inmates... but not in my country. The next time we meet... we'll have to convince her that way. Confess to the police and confess to manipulating stock prices in the past. Find out who the money owners are and pay the price. Then at least they won't be buried in the wilderness or killed. ’

If so, Yi Ah-young's parents will be able to regain their honor. Maybe she can get away from the depression caused by her parents, too.

"The news is better for her than any flower..."

I put down my phone thinking so.

“Mayor Seong-won stated to himself that there was a misconduct in the business selection process. ”

I lay on the couch, tucked my chin, and watched the news. In the end, the news of the business selection was on the 9 o'clock news. Seeing that he was a political giant, the focus was more on the bribed Joo Seong-won market than the emergency construction and Jeong Ki-woong president. He was actually a subordinate of the Jooseongwon market. In the news,

“In the wilderness, I vomited strongly the responsibility of Jooseongwon Market. ”

Politicians' reactions.

“Mayor Seong-won Joo, who is the head of Seoul City, has to take responsibility for this situation and leave by himself...”

“Citizens are having some disagreements about this case. ”

The reaction of the general public was reported.

“I think the mayor has a responsibility, too. ”

“There are a few government officials in Seoul, but you can't know everyone else. I feel like I can trust you to reveal yourself. ”

I looked at it and I thought,

‘That's what happens. ’

It seems that Seongwon Market's behavior that came out first was not bad. I nodded and looked for the remote. I've seen the news. But...

“Here's what's next. There was a revelation that the Stock Construction Emergency in the Urban Re-Development Management Bureau was involved. I'm a national reporter.”

News like that came out.

‘... What? ’

I watched it. In the news, there are voices of people who have been voice-modified.

“It... will be an emergency construction anyway. Half a year ago, we'd be trapped in a haystack and then we'd be left to the ants."

The journalist's voice alternates.

“You knew that half a year ago? ”

“Yes. Yes. Half a year ago. ”

However, I am familiar with the voice modulated.

“An anonymous reporter revealed the exact schedules and methods of the operation. ”

“It was a... it was a... it was a high-stop. I'm done talking to the government officials. Preliminary Selection... I'm afraid of my competitors, so I'll make them my best man. Then we choose to build an emergency. So let's double the stock price and get out. That's it.”

‘... this person... reporter Kang Ju-hyuk? ’

The reporter Kang Ju-hyuk, who spoke earlier, will be overlapped even though he has changed his voice.

“He said the operation had also been foamed as the incident unfolded. ”

“The upper limit... I was supposed to go to the upper limit today, but I went to the lower limit and died. Who's in charge? Who are you…”

I think he's the one who's stammering and repeating the same thing twice.

Did you get a hold of the media expose? ’

Maybe this is wiser. In the last case of food shortages, the government did not protect the citizens either. If this problem were to be publicized, the veil would not be easy to use either.

‘He was a journalist, so maybe this was easier and more comfortable...’

“Including misconduct and stock manipulation. There's constant noise surrounding the emergency construction. This is the entire BKS News team.”

I watched all the news with my eyes wide open. At the end of the news

Weeing.

My phone rang. I'm a secretary. I took it.

“Yes, why? ”

“Ms. Grant, we're in trouble. ”

The secretary shivered slightly.

“Why?”

“On the prosecution's part... my company will also be investigating stock manipulation. ”

“Ah…”

Come to think of it, my company is in on it. My company used to buy and sell emergency construction. It was the exact opposite of a tactical force. I said dumbass.

“Okay. Okay. So when is he coming back? Prosecutors.”

“He's coming tomorrow. ”

“Okay, let's go to work tomorrow. ”

When I speak calmly, my secretary decreases the voice a little.

“... your boss. But... are you sure you're okay with this? ”

“Of course. My company... I almost lost it. ”

Our company is clean. I had already anticipated this scenario. The Emergency Development Shares held were also sold before the spike. Like I didn't know there was gonna be a spike.

“Then... I'll see you tomorrow. ”

“Yes."

A middle-aged man asks me,

“So, Representative Han Sang-hoon ordered a short sale, assuming the construction would not be selected? ”

I can see the way you look at me.

‘You have a great eye for being a prosecutor. ’

I thought about it and said,

“Yes. I saw that there was more power in Jinyang development and light construction than emergency construction. That's why the price of the emergency construction stock rises by 50% with anticipation. This is definitely a bubble. I wanted to make a down bet… I ordered a short sale. ”

He said, looking at the emergency construction stock price, which is still hanging below –30% today.

“I see. You've made a lot today, haven't you? ”

To put it bluntly, we are the final winners.

“Yes, but... it was still a loss until yesterday morning. And then the bad news broke, and I just got lucky. ”

I turned my head and faced the vice president next to me.

“That's why I've been discussing this with Vice President Jang all weekend. What do I do to make this loss bigger? And, right? Vice President?”

Vice President Jang nodded his head.

“We really thought we were going to lose. That's why this is a big deal after the business announcement on the weekend. We talked on the phone with the boss about how to reduce losses. If you look it up, you'll find a call log. That's... you can listen to whatever you want. ”

We definitely exchanged that call over the weekend.

‘What should I do about short selling? Ms. Grant?

"That's okay, you can lose money if you invest. ’

It is hard to believe that the person who lost in the gambling game used the technology. The prosecutor confirmed the point and nodded. A man who appears to be an investigator of the prosecution came with a bunch of documents and said,

“I talked to the short-selling team, and they said they were waiting to buy it back until Monday afternoon. I was going to publish it on Monday and sell it more quietly, but I couldn't get to the bottom of it too soon...”

The middle-aged prosecutor who received the report nodded.

“Yes, I see. You were fortunate to have gained money when the revelation came out...”

That revelation was mine. The process was written so that no one would know. He exposed a huge corruption in the first place, so he won't be looking for protection. The defender is the mayor of Seoul, the next major power player.

“Yes, thank you. ”

This should be clean enough. I watched them leave the company with my arms folded. Then, Vice President Jang chases after them. I watched him for a moment.

What's wrong with him? ’

About 10 minutes later, he came back and said to me,

“I think my company will be fine. The prosecution decided to spend more time tracking down the buyer of the stock than we did. ”

You must have followed the prosecutor and picked up that story.

“Is that so?"

“Yes. It seems the forces that controlled the stock are quite large this time... The prosecutors seem to be interested in that too. ”

Great. Actually, newsmaker Kang Ju-hyuk is only a reporter at the end of the term. Taking out Dong-joon, Lee Won Joon, and Lee Won-Jae should consider this case solved properly. I remembered the three men in prison uniforms. It is quite a contradiction to holding a glass of champagne at Garden Envy.

‘I'll pay for my crimes. ’

It was when I thought about it.

"Weeeeee!"

My phone is ringing again. From what I hear, the person who called is Ilbo Lee Won-Jae, Director of the crew. This is Kaiji.

‘Oh, my God. You're popular.’

I thought about it, and I picked up my phone and went to the boss' room.
