A little scoundrel

Chapter 245 Splitting the Spoils Fifty-Fifty

“Don’t kill me!”

“President, save us!”

The Korean parliamentarians pleaded and wept profusely.

Han Jae-in glanced at them and said respectfully to Bai Ye, “Mr. Bai, you don’t need to lift a finger against these councilors. I can settle them myself.”

“What you care about and are interested in should be matters of friendly cooperation with our country, which is also something we are focusing on and have made our top priority.”

“Of course, if you’re not in a hurry, you can wait for us to eliminate the chaebols who are causing trouble from behind the scenes. This will also be beneficial for our cooperation!”

Han Jae-in spoke very politely. The councilors, seeing that Han Jae-in spoke for them despite their past transgressions, were all grateful. They vowed to wholeheartedly assist in eliminating the chaebols and promoting good relations between Korea and Bai Ye!

However, Han Soo-hye, standing beside them, her young face filled with anxiety, said urgently, “Bai Ye oppa, to eradicate chaebols like Samsung, we need your help!”

In Korea today, Samsung and other chaebols are not just controlling the economy; their influence is deeply rooted in politics and the military, intertwined with complex networks! They might even possess private armed forces!

Eliminating these major chaebols is no simple matter, especially in Korea. If a special existence like Bai Ye were to intervene, the results might be even better. Han Soo-hye understood this clearly.

Han Jae-in also understood, but out of politeness as this was his first meeting with Bai Ye and a cooperative relationship was being established, he found it difficult to ask him for help. When Han Soo-hye spoke, he remained silent, implicitly agreeing.

“Oh? What do you want me to do?” Bai Ye was interested in intervening. Although the missile barrage hadn't caused him any damage and had even added to his program’s entertainment value, he wouldn't let this slide. He felt he owed something to those who had ordered it from behind the scenes.

Han Soo-hye replied joyfully, “Help us capture all their core personnel!”

“Capture them?” Bai Ye frowned. “That’s too troublesome? Isn’t it easier to just kill them all?”

The eyes of the councilors twitched, and they secretly trembled. This guy was truly a devil who killed without batting an eye! They then looked gratefully at President Han Jae-in.

Han Soo-hye’s face also stiffened. Although Bai Ye said it so casually, she knew it was no joke!

“No, no!” Han Soo-hye explained, “If you, Bai Ye oppa, are willing to help, the power of these chaebols will be insignificant. However, we need to reclaim their assets.”

“Therefore, as long as these chaebols are leaderless, we can fully carry out investigations and defeat them, confiscating their assets.”

Their assets? It was said they accounted for half of Korea’s GDP? Hearing her speak, Bai Ye became a little interested in these chaebols.

After working hard in Country R and securing it as a backyard farm, now that something like this had happened in Korea, wouldn't it be somewhat unfair to Country R if they only got the live broadcast rights?

With high-ranking officials like Han Soo-hye and Han Jae-in actively supporting him, it felt like it would be going against his principles to secretly control things like they did in Country R. But he wasn't someone who would just let things go if he felt wronged!

So, it could only be these chaebols he dealt with…

Han Soo-hye looked at Bai Ye. Seeing him lost in thought and silent for a moment, she understood. Her big eyes lit up, and she asked with a smile, “Bai Ye oppa~ Are you also interested in these chaebols?”

“How about this, after we’ve eliminated their control, we’ll split their assets fifty-fifty between Korea and you, Bai Ye oppa?”

Han Jae-in understood his daughter’s intention and his expression shifted slightly. They were already planning to cooperate with Bai Ye, and this cooperation, to put it bluntly, was somewhat seeking Bai Ye’s protection. In such negotiations, Korea would have to sacrifice something.

However, if Bai Ye was interested in these chaebols, and treated it as a favor to gain Bai Ye’s goodwill and promote cooperation, while also eliminating the toxic tumors that had been lodged in Korea’s heart for years, it would be a perfect double coup!

“In that case, I’ll make the decision!” Han Jae-in said with a smile. “If you, Mr. Bai, are also interested in these unforgivable chaebols, as a gesture of our country’s sincerity, we will split the assets sixty-forty, with us taking forty percent and you taking sixty percent!”

Han Soo-hye looked at her father, Han Jae-in, with surprise and approval. She was very happy that her father understood her.

The councilors behind them were stunned when they heard the proposal from the Han father and daughter. They felt a pang of reluctance in their hearts. Sixty percent of Korean chaebol assets, at the very least, would mean taking away 30% of Korea’s annual GDP!

How much wealth was that?

If it were any other time, they would have objected a few times. But with Bai Ye, this devil who was prone to killing without hesitation, present, they could only remain silent.

Bai Ye showed a faint smile. The Han father and daughter were indeed political elites of Korea. This proactive move of extending an olive branch was very clever.

No matter how much assets these chaebols possessed, was it more important than Korea’s management rights and territorial integrity? Compared to Country R, in a sense, they were making a great profit!

“I am indeed somewhat interested,” Bai Ye said directly, without beating around the bush. “Let’s do as Miss Han suggested, fifty-fifty!”

“Good! Mr. Bai is a magnanimous person!” Han Jae-in was ecstatic when Bai Ye agreed! He felt this was one of the most correct decisions he had made since taking office!

“Then… where are those chaebol people?” Bai Ye walked off the presidential platform. “Take me there.”

“Alright!” Han Jae-in commanded, “Soo-hye, you take Mr. Bai there.”

“Yes, President!” Han Soo-hye acknowledged, then happily said to Bai Ye, “Bai Ye oppa! Let’s go!”

Bai Ye nodded slightly and left the Korean National Assembly Hall with her.

The moment Bai Ye’s figure disappeared at the doorway, the councilors in the conference room breathed a collective sigh of relief. Many even collapsed onto the ground, wiping sweat profusely.

However, the moment Bai Ye’s terrifying pressure disappeared, Han Jae-in walked onto the presidential platform with a cold expression.

The councilors who had collapsed on the ground quickly got up with ingratiating smiles.

“President!”

“President, we…”

In the parking lot of the National Assembly building, Han Soo-hye had mobilized a group of elite special forces soldiers and several armored vehicles.

“Bai Ye oppa~ How are these soldiers? They’re all yours to command!” Han Soo-hye said with a little smugness. Which boy didn’t have a dream of being a military officer?

However, Bai Ye shook his head. “Not very good.” Your so-called elite soldiers, I can wipe out several regiments of them with a flick of my wrist! Bai Ye thought to himself, but didn't say it out loud.

He didn’t want to make Han Soo-hye, with her delicate face, even more embarrassed. The soldiers in front, upon hearing Bai Ye’s words, frowned, but due to Bai Ye’s mysterious identity and their commander Han Soo-hye’s expression, they dared not question him.

“Too many people is troublesome. Just tell me the address directly.”

“Oh!” Han Soo-hye was taken aback, and said somewhat mechanically, “It’s… it’s in Bundang-gu, Seongnam City, Gyeonggi Province!”

As soon as Han Soo-hye finished speaking, Bai Ye willed it, and the two figures vanished into thin air.

໒(͒⌂͒)७???

The elite soldiers of Korea were all stunned in place, their minds filled with questions. The defiance they had felt instantly vanished, replaced by a sense of fear!

In Bundang-gu, Seongnam City, Gyeonggi Province, Bai Ye and Han Soo-hye appeared on the rooftop of the Samsung Building.

Despite this sudden teleportation not being Han Soo-hye’s first experience, her expression was still somewhat startled.

After switching phones, she showed it to Bai Ye and said, “These are the core members of the Samsung chaebol.”

Bai Ye took it, memorized them, and then expanded his spatial perception to scan the entire Samsung complex. Most of the target members were found, but the main target, the chairman of the Samsung chaebol, could not be located.

“Lee In-hee isn’t here?” Han Soo-hye asked, her face puzzled after hearing Bai Ye’s words. “Let’s go check his several villas.”

Han Soo-hye mentioned a few addresses. Bai Ye took her to search them, but still couldn’t find the person.

Could they have received wind of the plan and fled? Han Soo-hye’s face became solemn. “Let’s take away the other core members first! So they don’t cause trouble when they come out.”

Thus, the core members of the Samsung chaebol, who were diligently holding their positions and working on their respective plans, suddenly disappeared in front of their colleagues or friends and family. The entire Samsung Group was thrown into chaos and unease, as if everyone had seen a ghost.

After capturing a group of bewildered Samsung chaebol core members and taking them to the secret detention room arranged by Han Soo-hye, the two then rushed to the headquarters of LG and Hyundai, and also captured two groups of people.

However, to their surprise, the chairmen of LG and Hyundai also vanished.

“They must have gone into hiding! I’ll send people to search for them. As long as they’re in Korea, I don’t believe they can escape!”

Returning to the National Assembly Building, Han Jae-in immediately mobilized Korea’s security and information departments to fully investigate the information of the three chaebol chairmen.

However, the three seemed to have evaporated into thin air, and no clues were found even by nightfall.

“Mr. Bai, please be patient a little longer.” At a high-profile banquet, Han Jae-in apologized again and again.

Bai Ye smiled, intending to search himself. The entire Seoul wasn't that large, only about 600 square kilometers. With his spatial perception range of one kilometer and his teleportation speed, it wouldn't be a problem to search the entire Seoul.

“Bai Ye oppa~ Although we haven’t found any news of those three, we’ve discovered something strange,” Han Soo-hye said, holding a wine glass. “Tonight, several groups of Western personnel have entered Seoul from abroad successively, and they all went to one place, a small town south of Seoul – Daejeon Town.”
