Chapter 213 Tell me, was the door secured?
It's not just officials who have been exposed for corruption and bribery; many rulers have also led the way in corruption.
This is the presidential residence in South Korea.
President Kim Jae-hoon paced anxiously back and forth in his study.
His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and the screen of his phone kept flashing. News about him and his wife's embezzlement and bribery had spread like wildfire on social media!
Outside the mansion, the roars of protesters penetrated the thick walls, making his eardrums ache.
"Resign! Resign! Kim Jae-hoon, get out of the presidential palace!"
The sounds grew louder and louder, as if trying to drown him out; he could even hear the protesters banging on the iron gate!
Kim Jae-hoon knew that if things continued like this, the protesters would eventually break through the iron gate, and then the security team in the mansion wouldn't be able to protect him.
His wife, also huddled in her chair in fear, anxiously asked.
"What should we do?! Aren't you the president?! Quickly order the army to arrest them all!"
Upon hearing his wife's words, Kim Jae-hoon's eyes lit up.
Yes! Why didn't I call the army over?
This isn't the first time there have been riots and protests in China. Having lived for decades, he's seen countless protests, but they've all been suppressed in the end.
Even the riot in Gwangseong was quelled by the president's air force.
If the former Kim could do it, there's no reason why I, the new president, can't.
As if he had found a savior, Kim Jae-hoon's fingers trembled with excitement as he quickly dialed the number of the air transport unit with its glorious history.
"Airborne troops! Send people to stop them immediately! They're no longer ordinary civilians; we must strike hard!"
The person on the other end of the phone remained silent for several seconds without responding to the president's words.
Seeing no response, Kim Jae-hoon shouted angrily, "What's going on?! I'm the president! Are you going to disobey orders?!"
This time, the other side finally didn't ignore him and quickly replied.
"Yes! We'll set off immediately, Loyalty!"
Time ticked by, but the airlift troops that Kim Jae-hoon had been waiting for never arrived, while the number of protesters gathering outside the gate grew larger and larger, and many reporters and opposition party leaders also arrived.
Kim Jae-hoon, who has been exposed for corruption, is likely to be removed from office. At that time, the opposition party members will have a great chance to become the new president, so almost everyone who came here has come.
A rapid running sound came from the doorway, and Lee Min, the leader of the largest opposition party, finally arrived at the entrance of the mansion.
He was holding a phone with a live stream from Douyin (TikTok) on, and he was running and shouting.
"Fellow citizens, today I, Lee Jae-min, will act on behalf of Heaven to bring this corrupt president to justice! Please witness this moment!"
Many of the protesters gathered at the entrance recognized Li Min. With the help of his assistant, Li Min quickly approached the gate of the mansion.
Just as Li Min was about to approach the gate, the belated air transport unit finally arrived at the scene.
Kim Jae-hoon, who had been watching the area near the gate, immediately broke into a ecstatic smile.
"Haha! Damn it, they're finally here! They took so long, I'm going to dock your pay after this is over!"
Many of the protesters at the mansion gates showed fear upon seeing the arrival of the army.
Most of them are law-abiding citizens, and they feel fear involuntarily when they see the army.
Especially when they saw the famous Air Force patch on the soldiers' arms, they couldn't help but think of the Gwangju Games.
The protesters in Guangcheng were repeatedly beaten and forced to retreat by the air force troops.
Just when they thought the troops were about to attack them, the soldiers jumped off the troop carriers one by one in an orderly fashion and slowly formed a protective net in front of the gate, keeping the protesters who were storming the mansion gates out.
Some daring protesters, unafraid of the military batons, continued to attempt to storm the mansion's gates.
But they acted as if they didn't see it, and simply formed a human wall to keep them outside.
Other than that, they did nothing.
The smile on Kim Jae-hoon's face froze as he looked through the window. Enraged, he immediately dialed the phone and roared at his superior in the air transport unit.
"Damn it! What are your soldiers doing! Damn it! Why aren't they driving away those rioters?!"
"Mr. President, didn't you previously order them to stop the protesters from entering through the main gate? Is there a problem?"
Upon hearing this, Kim Jae-hoon's eyes went black, and he angrily questioned, "I'm asking why they didn't use weapons to drive away that mob! Believe me, I'll fire you!"
The officer opposite him showed no fear in the face of the president's threat, but instead responded coldly.
“Mr. President, they have already gone out. The messenger just fainted due to low blood sugar. I cannot give them new orders in a short time. Please wait for him. I will have him relay the new orders as soon as he wakes up.”
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone, leaving Kim Jae-hoon alone in anger.
Kim Jae-hoon slammed his phone to the ground. What low blood sugar?! He was being sarcastic about why he had cut back on the army's food allowance!
In order to rise to power, he promised several large domestic conglomerates a lot of benefits. In return, after he came to power, he cut a portion of the army's food allowance for them.
So what if they cut some soldiers' food allowance? They won't starve, so what if the food is a little worse?!
Kim Jae-hoon didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did. His seniors had all done the same thing, so why did it become so heinous when it came to him?
Just then, the study door was suddenly pushed open, and his secretary rushed in, her face as pale as paper.
"Mr. President, something terrible has happened! Protesters have stormed in!"
"What?!" Kim Jae-hoon's eyes widened, unable to believe his ears. "Weren't the air transport troops supposed to be watching at the entrance?! How did they get in?!"
"They...they just stood at the door, they didn't actually stop the protesters! And...and opposition leader Li Min has already climbed over the wall! He...he even went live, saying he'd personally drag you out!"
Kim Jae-hoon's face turned ashen instantly, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms.
He knew that Lee Min, as the leader of the largest opposition party, had always coveted his position, and this time he had clearly seized the opportunity to bring him down in one fell swoop!
"Damn it! These traitors!" Kim Jae-hoon roared, shoving his secretary aside and striding toward the window.
Through the gaps in the heavy curtains, he saw the scene outside the mansion—thousands of protesters gathered at the mansion gate, holding up signs and angrily waving their fists.
At the mansion's gate, the soldiers stood mechanically in a row, showing no sign of raising their shields or batons.
What alarmed him even more was that Li Min had already appeared in the courtyard of the mansion. He was holding up his phone, shouting into it as he sprinted toward the mansion.
At the mansion's gate, several soldiers stood by, coldly watching the protesters who kept scaling the wall to enter the mansion.
One of the soldiers whispered to his superior, "Sir, should we stop them?"
The officer glanced at him.
What is our mission?
"Watch the gate and prevent the protesters from entering through it?"
"Did they go in through the main gate again?"
"Um... I don't think so."
"That settles it, doesn't it? Our job is simply to guard the main gate and prevent protesters from getting in. As for those who climb over the wall... what does that have to do with us?"
