Attorney Kang Tae-hoon

Chapter 37

Lawyer Kang Tae-hoon Episode 037

He had been very skinny without seeing him.

“Good.”

Taehyung nodded his head.

Baekho Lee approached him and handed him a cigarette and lighted it.

“I just heard the story.”

“Han Seong-ho, did that friend teach you?”

Taehyung answered with a nod of his head without saying a word.

Handle it on your own line. I knew what it meant to be fired.

“I want to go home and go down to open a small law firm. It’s all causal retribution.”

He showed consideration for Tae-hoon in what he said while not seeing him.

And he lamented himself.

He lit his cigarette and took a deep breath and spit it out.

“My mother raised me alone. I didn’t like that house. Poverty didn’t want to die. So I studied like crazy and entered Seoul National University. It felt like I had everything.”

He looked at Taehyung with a small smile.

“And when he joined the Korean law firm, he even screamed. I was so happy. I drive an expensive foreign car, buy a good officetel, and buy a house for my mother.”

I listened to what he said as if it was his past.

“But, recently, Han Seong-ho’s friend did something like that, and that’s what I thought.”

His sighs were deep and deep.

“Why did I look forward like this? He used to say he wanted to be a lawyer for others… … All of a sudden, I became a monster that no one could stop. He was obsessed with money.”

Taehyung silently nodded his head.

“And you know what made me resent the most?”

Taehoon answered silently.

“It was that there were lawyers like you in the world. A lawyer who pursues the truth, not money, like me. I was very pathetic.”

He rubbed the burnt cigarette into the ashtray and put it out.

“At first glance, he heard that you were in charge of the Inseong semiconductor lawsuit. You know that the Korean law firm has already invaded.”

Baekho Lee smiled bitterly.

“It won’t be easy. Inseong Enterprise is the most important customer of Korean law firm. If there’s a single lawsuit, five or eight elite lawyers gather the data, look for precedents, and find loopholes. In particular, lawyer Han Seong-ho took charge of this case.”

He shook his head groaningly.

“It’s going to be a tough fight to win.”

Taehoon smiled and looked back at his words.

“You are saying that there is still a possibility. Others just say you can’t win.”

“Well, it is.”

Baekho smirked as he scratched his face with his finger.

“Actually, I was the person in charge of the Inseong Enterprise.”

“… … Is that so?”

Taehyung looked at him. Baekho was smiling brightly.

“You know. Under the current law, Sungsung Enterprises must publicize the hazardous substances used by workers. But the funny thing is that the contract of Inseong Enterprise says so.”

Taehoon couldn’t miss a single word from him.

“‘We do not disclose the chemicals used to maintain corporate confidentiality.’ In fact, it doesn’t make sense. According to the current law, it should be known, but they are not teaching them based on the maintenance of corporate confidentiality, and the courts are naturally silent on the name of the company. You have to attack this part. We need to raise our voices about confidentiality that is not disclosed.”

“i See. However… … .”“Why are you teaching me that?”

When Taehoon blurted out the end of his speech, Baekho Lee picked it up and smiled.

He put his hand in his pocket, took a few steps forward, and looked around the office of Hanmaeum Law Firm.

“This place smells like people. But Korea Law Firm is not like that. I’m human too, so I want to eat a bite before going down. I want to see those bastards chewing shit. I went to pack my things, but they didn’t even give me a glance. Lawyer Lee Baek-ho and the guys who trembled while acting as lawyers.”

Taehoon’s face began to glow with a little energy.

he helps He was also in charge of leukemia litigation at Inseong Corporation.

“Aren’t you going to give me a cup of coffee?”

“Come in.”

Taehoon guided him.

When I opened the door and entered together, my eyes naturally fell on Lee Baek-ho.

“Hey, how are you doing this?”

“Attorney Lee Baek-ho.”

Park Moon-soo stood up and had a puzzled expression. The other lawyers frowned at him.

The Hanmaeum law firm generally hated Lee Baek-ho.

In particular, it could be said that lawyer Kang Min-hoo hated the most, and CEO Park Moon-soo was also not happy with his visit.

“Oh, I’m not here to fight, I’m here to help. to help.”

He smiled skillfully, but his vigilant eyes were still unresolved.

Taehyung nodded his head.

‘I’m really here to help.’

It was then that some attention was drawn.

Lee Baek-ho took a sip of the coffee that Tae-hoon had brewed.

“I should tell you this quickly and disappear. It’s brutal.”

He laughed playfully.

Naturally, the one-minded law firm focused their ears on Lee Baek-ho’s voice.

“According to the results of a 2002 survey by the Ministry of Environment, a total of 97 chemical substances are used by Korean semiconductor companies, and 20 are toxic substances. And one of the double noteworthy ones is this. This information is nowhere to be found.”

Lee Baek-ho’s eyes twinkled.

Taehyung looked at him without even blinking.

“Hi-neck semiconductor companies know this well. There is a river that flows downstream from a high-neck semiconductor company.”

He wet his dry mouth again with a sip of coffee.

“There are a lot of crucian carp in the Bok River. But the Bok River is considered to be one of the most severe germ cell disturbances in the country. What do you think this means?”

“Keep trade secrets. I say no, but in the end, chemicals have a direct impact… … .”

Taehyung nodded his head and muttered.

“Yeah, but nobody knows about it. Hi-neck is definitely different from Inseong. However, it cannot be said that they make the same semiconductor and use completely different chemicals. Leukemia patients are also appearing in Hi-Neck. This fact has not been revealed by the power of large corporations.”

It was like a golden egg.

It was the moment when the light that we could win with Tae-Hoon began to appear.

“And you ask the Occupational Safety and Health Institute for research data. You must have already had unreasonable evidence of our semiconductor manufacturing process last year.”

“i See.”

Taehyung nodded his head.

Baek-ho Lee, who was about to drink a cup of coffee again to catch his breath, smiled awkwardly when he saw the one-maeum law firms gathered around him.

“This is really frustrating, so I have to leave soon.”

He looked around him and sighed.

“No, keep going. You really are here to help us.”

CEO Park Moon-soo said about the materials he presented unexpectedly.

“I just realized at this late age that there are things more important than material things.”

Baekho picked it up and smiled.

“I wonder why these facts were not known. Obviously a lot of people fought for this.”

Taehyung certainly nodded at his words.

Many people fought. However, no one really came up with this.

In addition, they must not have fought with a lawyer.

“Actually, most of the semiconductor companies’ production lines are powerless people. No matter how good the welfare is, in the end they are classified as ‘factory workers’, so they come just because they give them a lot of money.”

It certainly makes sense.

“Even if they try to hire a lawyer, the lawyers will refuse to hire one. Who wants to fight Sungsung Enterprise? Also, even if the wicked lawyers are appointed to receive their salary, they end up fighting each other. There was a case like this once.”

He raised one of his fingers.

“There was one person who was honest and passionate about this case. It’s something I’ve been working on… … I also had a hard time digging for him so much. Do you know how he handled it?”

Everyone held their breath and waited for him to speak. He spread his three fingers.

“I bought it for 3 million. Compared to the price of a name that a large corporation has lost, it’s a chewing gum price. I bought the lawyer myself with the money. In the end, we lost again. Destroy all information you had. If the lawyer hadn’t been blinded by money, he might have won the first case.”

“It’s garbage… … .”

Kang Min-hoo, a lawyer, muttered without knowing it, and then closed his mouth.

“Hmm? That’s why I’m here to help now, isn’t it? It’s a thing of the past. anyway.”

Baekho looked at him bluntly.

It was his old shame.

“Actually, I want revenge, but I also have high expectations for you. I gave first-class information, but the other party is a Sung-In company, along with lawyer Han Seong-ho. He is incomparable to someone like me.”

He pulled out a heavy file book from the briefcase he had brought and handed it to him.

“And this is a bonanza.”

Taehoon opened the file album and scrambled through it. Phone numbers, home addresses, and gender were listed.

“Fortunately, I didn’t throw it away and kept it at home. those who filed the lawsuit. And the families who have left the sick. Or the victims.”

What Baek-ho Lee gave was a very useful thing to Tae-hoon. Tae-hoon, who was handed it over, seemed to have gained a lot.

he got up

“I’ll just go.”

He was slightly silent on CEO Park Moon-soo.

He nodded his head slightly.

“Carefully. The opponent is a humane company. People who can do anything with money. But I know from experience. Money can’t stand on people. Remember that too.”

Lee Baek-ho smiled and turned around.

Then it stopped.

“I’m sorry last time.”

He bowed his head slightly to lawyer Kang Min-hoo. Considering that he is much older, it can be seen that the human Baekho Lee has changed quite a lot.

‘It’s not something you can’t win.’

The only things Baekho Lee gave him were quite large ones.

He got a lot by chance.

* * *

Tae-hoon urged the Occupational Safety and Health Institute to investigate the data, as Baek-ho Lee advised. Tae-hoon, reviewing the material they handed over, nodded his head.

“It was true.”He smiled bitterly. I was thinking that Lee Baek-ho may have been ordered by a Korean law firm.

As he said, Han Seong-ho was also a lawyer who would do anything to win.

However, in the answer, the results of the investigation on the three large companies with semiconductor companies were found.

-In the semiconductor process, benzene, formaldehyde, ionizing radiation, etc., which can clearly cause various diseases such as leukemia, stroke, and cancer, are generated as by-products, and in the case of arsenic, it exceeds 4 times the standard.

The next thing I checked was related to Bokhacheon, which Taehoon had investigated separately.

It wasn’t difficult to find out.

Bok River was definitely considered to have the most serious germ cell disturbance.

searched the internet.

Most of the knights could not float to the surface due to the high neck pressure.

However, there were a few blogs, etc.

The blog posted by Lee, who was a newspaper reporter in the past, is not a confirmed word, but rather, ‘Disruption of guppy germ cells in the Bok River.

It may be due to the high-neck semiconductor company.”

It was not difficult to find out the phone number and I was able to meet him.

He said it was a case of being fired from a newspaper while trying to dig into this article.

He was a 35-year-old male who is now helping his parents with work.

“I was also chasing these guys from Sungsung Enterprises. I wrote ‘suspicious’ on my blog, but it is certain. The reason the germ cells are disturbed by these Bok River crucians is because of the high-neck semiconductor company. Otherwise, there is no common sense reason for the crucian carp in this Bok River to cause reproductive disturbance. It was precisely in 2002 that Hi-Neck semiconductor companies entered this place.

This place, which used to be first-class water, has been transformed into the worst river in the country in just two years. Look at me.”

He pounded his chest.

“I was unfairly fired while trying to figure out this one case. I still really do think about that time.”

He clenched his fists in anger.

Taehyung nodded his head.

“Then, could you stand as a witness?”

“Oh, yes!”

He seemed to believe only in himself.

“Those who kill. with a human life.”

He has a very grumpy expression on his face. Taehyung smiled bitterly.

* * *

Then Taehoon moved to meet the victims. Most of the victims were those who had lost or are still fighting with protests and gatherings.

Tae-hoon could see that the contacts Lee Baek-ho summarized were those who did not give up on the fight.

The data that Baek-ho Lee handed over for this fight was more than I expected.

And every time Taehoon met the victims, he had no choice but to hear the heartbreaking complaints.

He is 22 years old. Lim Hye-yeon. died of leukemia. She was the only precious daughter of her parents.

Interpretation that she is thirty-eight years old. She died of a stroke. She had a wife and had her first son and her second daughter died a week after her wife gave birth to her.

she is twenty-five. Jiyoon Kim. died of lung cancer. She was the head of a boy and a girl who led her grandmother and her younger brother, and she was known as a filial piety. Died half a year after her diagnosis of lung cancer.

Every time I heard their complaints, Taehoon’s heart sank.

This is because he knew the sorrow of losing his family more than anyone, especially the pain caused by the tyranny of a large corporation.

Tae-hoon stood in front of the restaurant to meet Um Ki-tae, who lost his daughter at the age of a flower with a drink set box every day.

“after!”

He took a deep breath and entered the dining room.

“Yes. I just went into the restaurant to meet Ki-tae Um.”

The window of a black car parked not far after he entered went down.
