Chapter 2152 – [I Want to Hit the President]

The spark that started with the island slavery incident spread throughout Korea. Meanwhile, a perception began to spread.

[If you witness a crime, report it first. If you stand by and watch it explode, you will bleed.]

The reason the island residents did not report the island slavery incident was partly because government officials were part of the same group, but it was also because they would lose out by reporting in such a closed society.

On the other hand, the Korean judicial system before me was lenient in its punishment. If the people involved had been properly punished during the salt farm slave incident in the past, would it have really exploded like it did now? I don’t think so.

But now I was faced with another option, the worst and lesser evil. The worst is, of course, being caught and put to death through hard labor, or spending at least several decades in prison and ruining your life. The lesser evil is reporting the person and getting a harsh look from your neighbors. If you don’t like it, you can move.

“From now on, reports are coming in more often, and it seems like things will get better than before, but I’m going to try to focus on something else for now.”

“Which one?”

“Didn’t they abuse the resuscitation insurance this time? So I’m thinking of checking to see if there are any similar cases or anything like that.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Abuse of resuscitation insurance. This incident of island slavery was an issue that had to be dealt with firmly because it showed that even death would not provide rest if done incorrectly. If this spreads, the problem will become serious.

Similar to island slavery, even if a debtor commits suicide, if the debtor dies accidentally, he becomes a target for resuscitation, is brought back to life, and then has to repay the debt until he dies. Suicide is a bad thing, but it was a terrible thing when a person even lost the freedom to die.

“And if the police and public officials work together, there is a possibility that if the cause of death is changed from murder or accident to suicide, it could kill someone who could be saved. I plan to investigate that as well.”

“Eve, you’ve had a hard time.”

“This is my divinity, so I have to do it even if I don’t like it.”

Oh, Eve is having a hard time.

Anyway, thanks to this, ‘Let’s Eat One Meal Show’ was canceled after only two episodes were broadcast. It’s not completely over, but there’s a lot to do, and it’s confusing, so I’ll start again when I get the chance.

And a short break. In the meantime, I spent my time taking care of Jihee. As time has passed, Jihee’s belly has grown to the point where anyone can see that she is pregnant. Every time I see her, she touches her belly and smiles as if she is happy.

“I hope you are born healthy.”

“I hope so too. You said he was your son, right?”

[ㅇㅇ, male.]

“Hey, what is male to a human child? Male. Anyway, if it’s a boy, I’ll have to prepare a boy’s name. Hmm… How about Choi Do-won?”

“Ah!!!! Dad chose a better and more ordinary name than I expected!!!! Where’s the Choi family’s naming sense!!!!!!”

“In the past, this is the name I would have used if you were a boy when you were born. Mureungdowon, Dowonhyang, that’s where I got it from.”

“But since I am Hanon, I tried to take the name from Paradise. Is that okay? Even though we are family, Jihee is not Hanon, so I guess we don’t have a choice.”

“Uh… Is that so?”

“Huh? I think it’s a good name. And it actually makes me feel more like family.”

“Jihee, there’s no need to worry. It’s my baby, but it’s also yours, so I’ll follow your opinion on the name.”

“No, I think it’s a perfect name. Besides, Wea and Lina use Aunt Cheonma’s last name, so even, the names of the children’s sisters are Eden and Eve, so using similar names makes them feel more like family.”

“Hmm… So? You may change your mind, so you can always tell me later. You only have to decide before registering the birth.”

“Okay!!!”

It’s not that I don’t understand Jihee’s opinion. Because the sense of homogeneity that comes from the word family will be different.

I don’t know if it would be a problem if it was a unique name, but it’s a relatively ordinary name. Isn’t the name Dowon in the Choi family name more common than you think?

“Oh, now that I think about it, it’s time for President Choi In-seok to step down.”

“Oh my, that guy…”

“I worked hard, but in the end, there is nothing I can do about the issue of reappointment, unless I’m on the verge of failure like you.”

The President must amend the Constitution for a second term. That’s why I postponed and postponed as much as possible before amending the Constitution.

For a president who normally follows and complies with the Constitution of the Republic of Korea, reappointment is difficult. Considering how many dictators there were in this country to begin with, that must be really hard. Me? Fuck, I want to slap the president. So, I said I would play this term.

In any case, President Choi In-seok is nearing the end of his term. It is time to let go of the power that wielded the press.

On the one hand, it was like a private loan or credit card debt. There is a lot of corruption in Korea that has not yet been dealt with, and the time has come to pay the price for being hostile to them.

I went over to the Gate district and met with soon-to-be-retired President Choi In-seok. He leisurely drinks tea and chats about his treatment.

“It is time for the long presidential term to come to an end. Well, it is something I was prepared to do.”

“If necessary, we will prepare asylum for you.”

“No, I started this. If you confine yourself and then avoid the punishment by moving to another country, you are not setting an example at all. So even if I have to die, I will die in Korea.”

Haha…”

“Why are you doing that? Is there something wrong?”

“No, I just wonder how good it would have been if among the politicians I’ve seen, there was one who demonstrated half the spirit of sacrifice as the President.”

A politician who sacrifices himself for the country and does not avoid responsibility. In the first place, the politicians who do not evade responsibility are really the top 10%, but this is enough.

We need politicians like this to rule the country. It was just a shame that Korea couldn’t get a second term.

“Just let me say one thing about him. I would like to take his side, not as president, but as a person.”

“As I just said, the story of exile…”

“Oh, don’t worry. What I say will be said to the other person.”

And as Korea’s presidential election season approaches and President Choi In-seok is about to leave office, there is a discussion about punishment for his crimes.

He was the one who walked around getting himself stuffed. Thanks to his privilege as president, he has been safe so far, but when it comes time to leave office, he doesn’t know how to punish him.

Those in the legal community who have been harmed by President Choi In-seok, as well as those in the business community, are pouring money into their hopes for him to be severely punished. There is no rationality to it, only emotion.

“They say they won’t seek asylum, so what are you going to do?”

“I hate to see someone who is no better than a whistle-blower have their life ruined due to severe punishment… Ah, what kind of speaking skills do I have over there?”

“It is quite high. There is no one who can ignore the president who has already divided China.”

“Then just say one word.”

“I understand.”

They want to be punished themselves, but I can’t say anything to prevent that. President Choi In-seok had to be punished to take responsibility for what he did.

However, it was possible to reduce the level of punishment. This is not a punishment stained with resentment like now, but a punishment for a truly committed crime.

I separately gathered reporters from the Gate district and held a press conference. Perhaps because they had previously engaged in a sword dance regarding island slavery, the reporters in the Gate district, who were prone to gossip, exercised restraint and kept their mouths shut.

“I have a lot of regrets regarding the retirement of President Choi In-seok. In order to make the Republic of Korea more righteous, there should be more presidents like him.”

“Mr. President Choi, are you now supporting President Choi In-seok’s reappointment?”

“A reappointment of a president of that caliber should be welcomed. Of course, it is a bit unfortunate that this country, the Republic of Korea, cannot do so because the Constitution has not been amended. However, I have one thing to say…”

Punishment is good. President Choi In-seok also committed a crime and is willing to be punished for it. When you first decided to become a stuffed animal, it was no different from embroidery.

But it’s not a good idea to impose severe punishment. It may be that he only surrendered when he was being beaten or beaten, but he surrendered long before that and acted with the intention of being punished, so unless his sentence is commuted, it won’t work. Even if it’s a serious crime, if you turn yourself in before you’re caught, they’ll give you some credit.

Even this time, if he killed one of the bastards who had been enslaved on the island and turned himself in because of a prick of conscience, at least that person would be sentenced to death. Otherwise, wouldn’t they impose a ban on reincarnation?

“We in Korea have a strong perception that those who deserve to be punished should be punished strictly. However, Gate Korea still advocates correctionalism and commutes sentences for those who reflect.”

“By saying that, it seems like you are asking for a reduction in the sentence of President Choi In-seok, who was imprisoned for the crime, isn’t it?”

“I’m not specifically asking for a reduced sentence. I’m just curious about one thing.”

“If you’re curious…”

“Indeed, a person who has revealed his crimes and acted in the position of president can go into exile, but he voluntarily appears, is investigated, and seeks to receive appropriate punishment… How much will the sentence be?” 〈 Br〉

“That’s what it deserves…”

Yes, it is reasonable. I also don’t think President Choi In-seok will go unpunished. So he should be punished only as much as he deserves.

“The punishment that President Choi In-seok will receive will become a precedent in the future. As I just said, he can reveal his crimes and seek asylum, but what will happen if a person who reflects enough to actively respond to the investigation is punished excessively? Is that okay?”

“Huh? Aren’t you just taking it?”

“That will become a precedent. That person received a heavy punishment, but what about other people?”

Precedents are like the lowest route. Judges also try not to cross that line by citing existing precedents, but are they setting wrong precedents? Then, the lowest route is engraved again.

Let’s take an example… If President Choi In-seok received about 10 years in prison despite that, what would be the punishment for those who did not surrender later? Moreover, the crimes committed by President Choi In-seok are something that ordinary politicians, business figures, and other vested interests would commit, right?

“A person who surrendered and complied with the investigation received a similar punishment, but I wonder what kind of punishment a person who did not surrender but later committed a similar crime would receive. At the very least, shouldn’t such people be punished more severely than President Choi In-seok? ?”

“Uh…”

“President Choi In-seok gets 10 years in prison? Then, of course, people worse than him should get more than 10 years in prison. Of course, the task force will still be in existence even then, so we will conduct a thorough investigation and reveal the guilty.”

Gate Korea’s vested interests are caught in a give-and-take. Even if you want to take revenge on President Choi In-seok by punishing him excessively, if you do that, it will be a huge problem when you get caught legally in the future.

The same goes for the legal profession. He knew that if he was caught, he would be punished in the same way, but he didn’t know how much punishment he would receive if he punished the person who turned himself in too harshly.

Moreover, President Choi In-seok’s approval rating is high even though he is nearing the end of his term due to the cleansing of deep-rooted corruption. If he does not do it right, he doesn’t know what will happen.

“What are you going to do if you shamelessly hand out excessive punishment and punish each other indiscriminately?”

“The task force team doesn’t exist for nothing. We have to spread all the information related to it. A judge who gets paid? Likewise, if we rob him and spread it out, what can they do?”

“Well, I think it’ll be okay since I’ve already started.”

The task force team that can secure the evidence with [Earth’s Bookshelf] Is invincible. Even the issue of personal trust was resolved thanks to the participation of all task force team members.

If everyone else is fine, and you’re the only one charged with a crime like [Solicitation], You can just dismiss it as a personal deviation and move on. It can be resolved right away, so all we have to do is have them clean up Gate Korea.

Just as Korea’s presidential election and President Choi In-seok’s retirement were just around the corner, Jihee gave birth. The child grew up and was taken to the hospital with a belly as big as Mount Taesan.

“Aaaaa!!!!!”

“When giving birth, you have to catch your breath first!!!! Take a deep breath and exhale! It might be a little difficult because of the baby, but breathe in as much as you can!!!!”

“I knew, but seeing him talk like he has experience makes me feel really strange!!!!!!”

I know because I’ve had a child too. So for now, I just need to give it some strength and give birth.

Although she was physically young, Jihee was a burden because she was a first-time mother. Nonetheless, a few hours later. Jihee was able to give birth to a healthy boy.

Our family gathered around to look at the child. Since the baby had just been born, we couldn’t see it in person yet, so we each chatted as we watched the baby lying sleeping in the neonatal room of the obstetrics and gynecology department.

“Wow, he’s handsome even though he’s a baby.”

“It reminds me of our Eden of old.”

“It looks a little like Your Majesty… But it’s even more handsome than that. It’s a strange feeling.”

Since I didn’t say I was changing my name, the child’s name was Choi Do-won. And even though Dowon was a baby, he was still handsome, and everyone was talking about it.

Jihee, who was finally able to catch her breath after giving birth and hold her child, looked at her handsome child and looked so cute that she could die. Even if your child is cute and pretty, I’m done talking about it.

“Wow… Is this my child? He’s really, really cute…”

“You had a hard time giving birth to a child. I made seaweed soup, so I ate a lot.”

“I’m not mistaken in that it looks like the seaweed soup has been boiled enough to be eaten all month, right?”

“Eden is wrong.”

“Having something over is better than not having enough!!!!!!!”

Anyway, it is a good thing that the child was born healthy and without any problems. As a result, our family was relieved of their worries and rejoiced at the birth of a new family member.

A child writhing in his mother’s arms… I wonder what kind of child he will grow up to be.

“But if you think about it, the age difference between him and his older sister is…”

“Dad, shut up.”

I think I should keep my mouth shut about the dozens of years difference in age between Dowon and Eden.
