Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 177

└ "Damn, I was really looking forward to her upcoming movie. This is f*cking ridiculous."

└ "What the hell, TenTen? Your comeback is literally around the corner!"

└ "Sh*t, without Bang Ja-wook, who's gonna carry the Blue Dragons? There goes our autumn baseball hopes. ㅠ"

└ "What do you mean? It’s f*cked."

└ (Insert meme of something crashing and burning.)

└ "Dude, just Google it. Are your fingers just for decoration?"

└ "It’s basically a VIP gambling den for high-rollers, mostly for overseas gamblers. But now people just use the term for any illegal high-stakes gambling operation."

└ "Yeah, it's always the same—the poor stay poor, the rich keep getting richer."

The second was White Gold and Baekgeum-pa.

└ "Maybe they ran out of money."

└ "Wait, is there some political scandal going on right now?"

└ "Yeah, no randoms in that mix. LOL."

Jo Jin-hwi, keeping an eye on the discussions, commented:

"Everyone’s attention is locked on Baekgeum-pa and the junket rooms."

Su-ho nodded.

"Because everything else has already been exposed. The only mystery left is this. People won’t stop speculating until the prosecution makes an official statement."

"What about Son Baek-geum?"

"He’ll show up when the prosecution calls him in."

That meant he’d have to go to the Suwon District Prosecutor’s Office.

This entire case had originated in Suwon, so it had to be handled there.

That way, Kim Seung-hwan could keep things under control.

Once Son Baek-geum was dragged into the spotlight, it would be the perfect moment to reveal the redevelopment cartel scandal alongside Park Gyu-min’s involvement.

Jo Jin-hwi nodded.

"Should we publish the Park Gyu-min article now?"

Su-ho smirked.

"Let’s do it."

At this point, everything had been sufficiently warmed up.

"It’s moving in the right direction, but it’s still a bit weak."

Su-ho nodded.

"Because all we did was reveal a name. We need to follow up at the right moment with another article."

Exactly.

Right now, people were questioning rather than reacting emotionally.

To drive the nail in, they needed a final push.

And they had just the thing prepared.

After letting the discussion simmer for another two to three hours, Su-ho spoke.

"Alright. Time to drop the next article."

Jo Jin-hwi grinned.

"On it."

└ "Joke’s on you."

└ "Joke’s on all of us."

└ "God, this is so not funny."

└ "Dumbass, you think Baekgeum-pa wastes time on blackmail? If they had leverage on him, they’d just bury him in cement—it’s cheaper."

└ ???: "Bring the saw. Bring the saw. Vice President-nim, why the hell are you doing things we didn’t ask for?"

└ "That’s true. So what’s the deal?"

└ "Yeah, no sh*t, genius. But the real question is—why was he there?"
