HE RETURNED AS A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL (PART ll)

Chapter 249: Fall (1)

There were several candidates guaranteed to be elected before the votes were fully tallied. This year’s general election had stirred the entire nation, especially the battle of Jongno where Kim Han-Gyo, the candidate who had unintentionally grabbed the attention of the public in a bad way, had run for office.

Several news media outlets quickly reported the candidate that the people had chosen. Like Kang Ra-Eun had expected, Hong Oh-Yeon had won by an overwhelming margin. The TV showed Oh-Yeon standing before the reporters with a bouquet of flowers in hand that her campaign personnel, who had done their absolute best to help her, had prepared for her.

[Congratulations on your election! Could we hear your thoughts about having beaten Candidate Kim Han-Gyo?]

Congresswoman Hong nodded with a smile devoid of worries.

[As for right now, I feel like I’m on cloud nine. I’d actually been extremely uneasy when I had announced my candidacy, but now that I’ve heard the news that the people have chosen me, I feel a sense of joy as well as the heavy responsibility that I bear to do my best.]

Her overflowing emotions could be felt from her slightly trembling voice. She took a short moment of rest and continued while staring right at the camera. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

[Thank you very much. I will make a promise right here with every citizen of Korea that I will become a congressperson that you won’t regret having chosen. Also...]

There was something else that Oh-Yeon wanted to say.

[I’d also like to commend Congressman Kim Han-Gyo for being such a great competitor.]

Kim Han-Gyo threw the remote control, cracking the right-side display of the TV. He fumed vigorously.

“Cheeky bitch...!”

Han-Gyo despised Oh-Yeon for beating him and taking the title of congressperson away from him. He was most definitely partly to blame for his own failure, but those mistakes had not been anywhere near as detrimental to his career as the allegations that Oh-Yeon had brought forward against him.

‘I should’ve killed that masked bitch when I had the chance!’

Slam, slam, slam—!

His rage was not quelled even after striking the armrest of his chair multiple times. Han-Gyo already knew that doing this would not turn back time, but the fact that he knew this enraged him even more.

“Haa...”

Han-Gyo’s sigh contained a myriad of emotions. He hung his head down and wiped his face with his hands several times. He had planned to use the momentum gained from this general election to plan his presidential campaign, but that had all gone down the drain. No, it might have been better if it had only gone down the drain.

“Congressman,” his chief secretary cautiously opened the door to his office and said, “The Public Prosecutor’s Office... has issued you an order for attendance...”

“...”

The countless allegations brought up by Oh-Yeon needed to be investigated to confirm their legitimacy. Han-Gyo had not said it himself during the election, but over ninety percent of them were the truth. He wanted nothing more than to bury them using any means necessary, but he could no longer do that since Oh-Yeon and her team had already given the prosecutor’s office all the materials that they possessed. All that was waiting for Han-Gyo now was... to be brought to justice.

Ra-Eun had mixed emotions as soon as she heard news that Han-Gyo had failed to be elected.

‘It’s not over yet.’
