In the depths of night under a waning crescent moon. A man stepped out of his car. After glancing around he pressed the doorbell beside the hanok's main gate. Shortly after a middle-aged woman in an elegant hanbok opened the door. "Welcome. You must be Secretary General Lee Myeong-su?" She greeted Lee Myeong-su with a practiced smile. "Yes I have an appointment here. Perhaps..." "Indeed. They're already waiting for you. I'll escort you personally. Please follow me." The middle-aged woman took the…-

The sun had already set when Koizumi who was working at the residence jumped at the sound of gunfire nearby. "W-what's going on?"

But before he could finish dialing the office door burst open and his secretary rushed in. "Prime Minister! Emergency! Attackers have assaulted the residence!" "W-what did you say?"

We'll have to subdue them, you know. It's rare for Manager Ma's phone and mine to ring simultaneously. I had an uneasy feeling. I reached for my phone first. "Manager, please step out and take your call in private." I told Manager Ma after checking the name on my screen. "Yes, Boss." Manager Ma left the study and I slumped back onto the sofa. "Hey, Myeong-su." "Hey, hey!" Myeong-su's urgent voice called out before I could even greet him properly. "What's wrong? Did something happen?" "Turn on…

You must listen to this request. As people age they find it harder to apologize, especially politicians. They know each action carries weight so they rarely apologize unless absolutely necessary. Kim Hak-gwon was that kind of person. "I misjudged you. I made many mistakes during my term regarding you. I hope you can understand." Yet Kim Hak-gwon offered a sincere apology. Well he should apologize. He tried to put a leash on me and even had me watched. But he'd paid a sufficient price and now no…

Zhang Zidong arrived at Incheon Airport with his staff members. "So this is Korea." Zhang Zidong muttered softly, his face reflecting deep amazement as he looked around Incheon Airport. Such a well-maintained airport was rare anywhere in the world. After exiting customs he spotted a sign with his name. Zhang Zidong walked toward it with his staff. "Hello, I'm Zhang Zidong." "Ah welcome! We're delighted to have you in Korea. I'm Gong Jinju from HS Ventures and I'll be your guide Vice…

I headed to Il-seong Hospital to visit Seo Jae-hoon. "Has there been any news yet?" In response to my question, Manager Ma, seated in the passenger seat, turned to face me. "No, there hasn't been anything yet." If Manager Ma couldn't find anything quickly, it seemed like he had definitely received cash in full. After all, if there was a balance in the bankbook, it would have been discovered by now. Who could possibly give someone such a huge amount of cash to buy a luxury car outright? "Is the guard…

Several days passed since my return to Korea. Due to the extended China schedule I spent my time at Pyeongchang-dong handling the backlog of work. Manager Ma knocked and entered with coffee in hand. I looked up from reviewing documents. Finally a break. I smiled as I stretched. "Ah finally I can take a breather. Strange how coming home made me even busier." After a quick stretch I asked Manager Ma. "Since you brought the coffee yourself Manager Ma I assume you have something to report?" Usually the…

"Honey, what's wrong?" Gu Kailai stirred beside Bo Xilai, rubbing her eyes. She asked as Bo Xilai rose from bed. "Ah, Zhou Yongkang is coming. Go back to sleep. I'll meet with him." "The Minister of Public Security? At this hour? How rude." "Seems urgent. Sorry for waking you. Get some more rest." "No, I should get up too." Bo Xilai reluctantly nodded. "Then please prepare some drinks for us." Watching Gu Kailai head out, he stepped into the dressing room. As he changed from his pajamas into…

I returned to Beijing to meet Zhou Yongkang. Since it wasn't an official meeting, we agreed to meet at a VIP bar owned by Hao Xun. It was a secret meeting place for high-ranking Communist Party officials. "I didn't know Beijing had places like this. Reminds me of those secret entertainment houses back home." The bar I entered under the staff's guidance gave off exactly that vibe. "Your companion will wait here." Manager Ma gave me a slight bow. When I nodded, he followed another staff member. I went…

So this is what the power players in China look like when they all come crawling out. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping made a comeback. While I let out a hollow laugh at the absurdity of it all, Hao Xun looked utterly bewildered. "But why is the Wanda Group involved..." "They're reportedly making a foray into the entertainment industry, aiming to cast top stars in movies and dramas. That's what I've heard." Gao Jun'er replied in a hesitant whisper. Eventually, Hao…
