The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

According to the experts' analysis...

The value of gold is sure to surge in the next two years!

There may be some fluctuations during this period...

However, as time goes on, the overall market trend will definitely be very good.

It is estimated that the value of gold will increase by 50% to 70% from its current level, which should be no problem at all!

The same principle applies to those antiques.

The worse the economic environment, the less valuable antiques become!

in other words...

If Ding Xin were to sell these items now, he could probably only get around 800 billion Korean won at most...

But if we just wait two years...

If we make another move, we might be able to double our money!

so...

Since he wasn't short of money at the moment, Ding Xin wasn't in a hurry to cash out.

...

Finally, there's the most fruitful result of this entire scheme...

Babel Group!

Two months later, Babel Group's market value has plummeted to less than 40% of its original value.

That is to say...

From a macro perspective, the Babel Group, once valued at 2.3 trillion won, is now worth less than 900 billion won...

We've arrived here...

Actually, there's not much room for it to fall further!

after all...

The valuation of a group involves two aspects...

Hardware and software!

The Babel Group's software value has now been negatively impacted by a series of setbacks...

It's practically nothing!

But the value of the hardware is unlikely to drop much further.

in other words...

The time is almost right for the acquisition!

It started a few days ago...

Under Ding Xin's instructions, Huang Chunzhi, representing DX Venture Capital, began tentatively contacting the shareholders who still held shares in the Babel Group...

certainly...

It's only at the initial contact stage; a real acquisition will have to wait some more...

after all...

so far...

The central district prosecutor's office still has all of Babel Group's accounts sealed.

They are also working with the tax authorities to settle the outstanding taxes owed by the Babel Group and determine what penalties should be imposed.

in other words...

A formal acquisition plan can only be implemented after Yoon Byung-wook's case has been completely resolved!

but...

This time is not far off!

Ding Xin received information that the trial date for the prosecution of Yin Bingxu had been set...

......

Chapter 496 Court Trial Scene

December seventeenth.

Today is the day that Yoon Byung-wook, the former head prosecutor of the Financial and Tax Division 2 of the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office, is on trial.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Seoul District Court.

Inside the solemn and dignified courtroom, everyone held their breath.

The judge sat high on the bench, overlooking the entire courtroom.

"Court is now in session!"

The judge struck the gavel, his face serious, and said in a deep, powerful voice, "Prosecutor, please read the indictment!"

The voice just fell.

Prosecutor Zhu Yang, dressed in a judge's robe, immediately stood up.

He first nodded slightly to the judge, then solemnly adjusted the indictment in his hand and loudly read: "Defendant Yin Bingxu, male, thirty-seven years old..."

He was arrested on suspicion of bribery, rape, instigating murder, job-related crimes, harboring a criminal, and human trafficking...

Upon review..."

The courtyard was very quiet.

Only Zhu Yang's recitation echoed throughout the courtroom.

In the audience...

Ding Xin also accompanied Wu Xiuyan to the court hearing.

The two sat quietly...

While listening to Zhu Yang's reading, he turned his gaze to Yin Bingxu in the defendant's dock.

At this moment, he...

His face was haggard, his eyes were blank, and he looked like a walking corpse. He was no longer the powerful minister and prosecutor he once was.

The defense lawyer sitting next to him appeared quite calm.

after all...

For a case that had already been settled, he, as a lawyer, was merely going through the motions.

"In conclusion, the defendant Yin Bingxu's actions seriously violated the law and morality, posing a great threat to society, and should be severely punished according to law!"

The words fell.

Zhu Yang bowed his head to the judge again.

next second...

The judge looked at the defendant, Yoon Byung-wook, sitting below the table and asked, "Defendant Yoon Byung-wook, do you have any objections to the criminal facts alleged in the indictment?"

Yin Bingxu kept his head down and remained silent.

The defense attorney standing nearby quickly answered on his behalf: "Our client has no objection to the criminal facts alleged in the indictment!"

The judge nodded.

The process continued, and several witnesses, including Choi Moo-jin and Jang Han-seo, were summoned.

This is to secure evidence.

After the witness testimonies concluded, the judge asked again, "Defendant Yoon Byung-wook, do you have any objections to the witness testimonies?"

What objections could there be?

Yoon Byung-wook never raised his head from beginning to end.

at this time...

When questioned again by the judge, he still did not react, as if he didn't care about anything.

However...

His appearance made the defense lawyer standing next to him anxious!

Damn it, didn't we already agree to plead guilty?

All the connections have been taken care of!

With this attitude, do you still want a lenient sentence?

Without thinking twice, he nudged him hard with his elbow and whispered, "Minister Yin, that person went to a lot of trouble for your sake..."
