I Became a Scoundrel of a Chaebol Family

Chapter 43



Journalist Yoon Hayeong couldn’t regain her senses.

First, she was struck by the unexpected encounter, taking a hard mental blow. Then, she found herself dragged to an unknown part of the mansion, surrounded by women who were tearing at her clothes in real-time.

“Ahh! Let go! Let me go!!”

She still had some fight left. She managed to push the women away, gathering the tattered fabric with her hands to cover her exposed skin.

But it was only temporary.

Soon enough, she was held down by her arms and legs, lying on the floor, helpless as her clothes were shredded all around her.

“Aagh! Nooo!!”

The fear was overwhelming. The ripping of the fabric felt as if it were her flesh and intestines being torn apart.

It was like a scene from a zombie movie, as if she were being devoured alive by zombies.

“Ah... ah...”

Tears welled up, streaming down her cheeks, leaving her bare body marked with red streaks.

“Let’s wash her up.” “Yes, Prosecutor.”

The women hauled her to a nearby bath and threw her in. Each time Yoon Hayeong tried to surface for air, they would press her head back under the water.

Blub blub blub.

They scrubbed her vigorously, roughly handling her chest, armpits, and between her legs, letting her up for air only when she was on the verge of passing out.

“Ugh! Please, let me go...!”

But the cycle continued, forcing her under again.

After a few rounds of this, her will was completely broken.

Splash.

Gasping for breath, she finally emerged from the bath, sobbing. Lee Na-eun crouched down beside her, tilting her head.

“Hmmm~. You shouldn’t be like this already. I didn’t think you were this weak. I thought you could endure much more?”

“Why... Why are you doing this...?”

“?”

“Prosecutor... You’re supposed to be a beacon of justice... You said you wanted to make the world a better place!”

Her voice, thick with sorrow, echoed around the bath.

“Yes, I did.”

“Then why!!”

Lee Na-eun tilted her head, puzzled.

“Why are you doing this? Deceiving me... using people... lying!!”

“What are you talking about? I’ve never lied to you or deceived you.”

“What...?”

“I am, as I’ve always been, working tirelessly for justice. I’m striving for a better world.”

“What...!”

Yoon Hayeong’s face flushed with anger. Even now, she was still acting.

How could she—

“You see, my idea of justice—”

Lee Na-eun leaned in close.

“—is a world where the powerful can crush and dominate the powerless without restraint.”

“What...?”

So that’s... justice?

“And a world where I’m one of the powerful ones. Isn’t it beautiful? A world where I can control lives at will.”

She pressed Yoon Hayeong’s cheek with the Terminator.

“And I kept my promise, didn’t I? I told you I’d bring you to him, without fail.”

“!!”

“So why should I be accused of lying or deceiving? I’ve only ever told you the truth, with sincerity.”

“Twisted logic...”

“Of course.”

Lee Na-eun smiled, her face a mask of pure evil.

“The very word justice is twisted logic.”

While Yoon Hayeong was being submerged under the pretense of a bath, another scene was unfolding in a different corner of the mansion.

In a waiting room as large as an office, beautiful women filled the space. All of them were familiar faces in Korean media, so-called 'stars.'

Though there weren’t the absolute top celebrities, they were recognizable enough that most people could recall their names at a glance or remember their faces when mentioned.

Actresses, idols, divas, models, announcers—they all watched each other, wary, as they changed into new outfits in the vast room.

“Wow... So many people here...”

Jung Ga-in, an actress of six years, clicked her tongue as she slipped into a dress she had brought. Though her image was typically innocent and pure, the dress was skin-tight, accentuating every curve and barely covering her thighs.

“Well, it’s only natural. With agencies going bust everywhere, and the Go Group’s young master holding auditions, of course people would flock here...”

Although this was a new agency only two months old, it didn’t matter. This was the Go Group, and the direct descendent of the chairman was running the company himself.

The fact that the young master, Mooyeol, was infamous for his depravity in the entertainment world didn’t matter. There were few in this industry who didn’t end up offering themselves one way or another, and in this case, they only had to appeal to one man’s tastes rather than selling themselves all around.

Click.

A woman entered the waiting room. She was strikingly beautiful, with long hair tied in a ponytail and a smile like that of a flight attendant.

After waiting for everyone’s attention, she spoke.

“It looks like everyone is ready. Please, follow me.”

“...”

They swallowed nervously as they followed her. The woman, leading them, continued.

“From now on, whatever you see, hear, or experience, you’re free to talk about it.”

“...Excuse me?”

They hadn’t expected that. Usually, they’d be sworn to secrecy.

“Because anything you say won’t be believed anyway.”

“...”

As expected. It was a thinly veiled threat.

“In this audition, you must demonstrate absolute obedience to the young master. No matter what happens, no matter what you go through, ‘absolute obedience’ is required.”

Sounds of swallowing could be heard all around.

“Once you pass and become part of Go Entertainment, the same rules apply. Always remember that.”

She stopped in front of a large door, turning to face them.

“Absolute obedience.”

Yoon Hayeong, exhausted and broken, was dragged forward, not even caring to cover her exposed body. Now that the physical torment had ceased, she began to think again.

Where did this catastrophe begin?

  • Ah, no, I’m truly fine. I actually wanted to meet with you today for a reason.
  • Someone as righteous and sometimes reckless as you, I’m willing to make time to meet. You make me hopeful for the future.
  • I always thought you’d bring me a case like this. Like a trap, perhaps.

‘A trap...’

Lee Na-eun had anticipated she would bring her ‘a case like this.’ A case that connected to the highest echelons of society, a place beyond normal reach.

‘She played the good image, and then used me... She used the dangerous case I brought as an opportunity to connect to the upper ranks...’

If her team leader had been taken because of her, then perhaps he too had been involved in this, forming a connection to Mooyeol through sponsorship.

‘I really was just bait...’

She had served her purpose well, both for that man and for Lee Na-eun.

‘After that... was every move of mine being monitored and manipulated?’

She had joined the special investigation team. She had worked hard, gathering evidence of sexual bribes involving countless agencies. The prosecutors and investigation teams swung down with all their might.

Yet, nothing crucial faced charges.

‘Come to think of it, there was Go Entertainment... Go... Prestige...’

  • About what I mentioned before, can we arrange it for today?
  • Leaking the no-charge list. Then I’ll capture it and post the article.

‘Rainbow Miracle acquitted... Go Entertainment... acquitted... And my team leader... Go Prestige...’

“Ha... Haha,”

She laughed.

  • Yes, sir, you’re right. This is our responsibility. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to find out who’s behind this.
  • It’s not much, but it’ll be worth posting. Let her in.

‘That police officer is here too... Haha... What am I? Am I just being controlled here? Why are all the people around me appearing here...?’

Tears streamed down her face. In just a few days, her mind, already fragile, was now shattered.

She instinctively knew.

‘Please... stop... I can’t take any more... I’m begging you, stop...’

She didn’t want to see anything shocking anymore. She wanted to go back. Please, let her return.

She didn’t want to see beyond that door.

“You’re here.”

The woman, who had comforted her just the night before, now spoke with a cold face. She was the police officer who had soothed her, offered her warmth.

“Prosecutor, shouldn’t you get properly dressed too?”

“Oh~. Yes, I should.”

Lee Na-eun took off her jacket and undid the buttons on her blouse, revealing her large chest. Removing her bra, she left her breasts completely exposed.

The police officer nodded and opened the door.

Creak.

‘No... please... no...’

The door opening felt as if someone were prying her legs apart.

Squelch, squelch,

“Ah... Ahh!”

Moans filtered through the open doorway.

The vast room, capable of holding a hundred people, was packed with women, but the center was open.

“Ahn! Ah!”

At the far end, a man sat with his legs spread, while a naked woman straddled him, bouncing up and down.

“What is... this?”@@novelbin@@

Her blood ran cold. Her senses heightened, her mind detached from reality, this feeling of extreme strangeness—rejecting the understanding of what lay before her—washed over her again.

"How... could this...?"

It wasn’t the man receiving the sexual service with a smug look on his face. It wasn’t the woman grinding her hips on top of him. Nor was it the team leader, standing upright and naked behind them, his body entirely exposed.

No, it was just that the scene before her, the sight within this room, was simply beyond comprehension.

‘Jung Ga-in, Hong Yuna, Bae Yoonjung, Lim Hyejung...? Park Hyunseo and Jung Nayeon... even Moon Rahee...?’

Over a hundred women, all of them recognizable faces. Actresses, idols, divas, models, announcers... No matter where she looked, she could see people she had seen on TV at least once or twice, and even some leading actresses from currently airing dramas.

It was as if every famous female celebrity in the country had been gathered here.

Thud.

Lee Na-eun pushed her from behind.

"Let’s go. It’s time to pay respects to the master."

"No... I don’t want to..."

"Come on."

Lee Na-eun grabbed Yoon Hayeong’s wrist and started walking, her bare chest swaying as she went.

"Noooo!!!"

Yoon Hayeong struggled, but then another woman, Im Sua, joined in to help drag her forward.

"Eek!!"

As they pulled her forward, the man who had been idly receiving sexual services spoke.

"What are you waiting for? Welcome her."

At that, the women who had been watching in amusement began to clap in unison.

Clap clap clap clap clap!

The deafening applause swallowed every other sound.

"Ah... ugh..."

Yoon Hayeong fell into total panic.

Betrayals and shocks had already shattered her psyche. The applause echoed all around her.

Now, she began hearing and seeing things that weren’t there. It felt like everyone in the room was surrounding her, clapping and laughing.

he was beginning to see and hear things that weren’t there. It was as if everyone around her was laughing and clapping, surrounding her as they celebrated her misery.

'Please... stop... please, make it stop... stop stop stop.....

Thud.

"Urgh."

Before she realized it, she had been dragged right up to the man.
