HE RETURNED AS A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL (PART ll)

Chapter 250: Fall (2)

The news of Kim Han-Gyo in danger of being expelled from his party really hit home, especially to Ra-Eun. It shocked her even more than his crushing defeat in the general election.

Expulsion was nothing less than massively impactful, considering Han-Gyo’s position and influence in his party. He had been in the party ever since he was newly elected, climbing the ranks up to the representative position that he held now. He had been an indispensable pillar to his party, but had now become a nuisance that only held the other congresspersons of his party back.

“I’ve heard that this is being discussed by the newly-elected congresspersons. As for the details, like I had just mentioned, it involves expelling Congressman Kim from the party, and then bringing every single injustice that he had committed to light. One of the congresspersons has even suggested they take measures so that the money that Congressman Kim had extorted is returned to the national treasury,” Congresswoman Hong Oh-Yeon said.

“The congressman must really have gotten on their bad sides.”

“Yes, I can’t really blame them.”

The entire party’s approval rating had fallen by thirty percent just because Congressman Kim Han-Gyo was a member. This could not only cause the members to lose in future general elections, but even affect a future presidential election. Taking the future into account, it was likely the better choice to expel Han-Gyo from the party; no, it was definitely better. The party members had made the right choice.

“They’ll likely put out an official statement in the near future. Once they do, the party won’t be able to just ignore it.”

It was not the case for newly-elected congresspersons, but the senior congresspersons would be extremely conscious of Han-Gyo. Just then, a fantastic idea popped up in Ra-Eun’s head.

‘How about I just ruin the senior congresspersons one by one?’

If the tower refused to crumble by itself, she just needed to destroy its pillars one by one.

“Thank you very much for the information, Congresswoman.”

Ra-Eun had only planned on simply congratulating Oh-Yeon and having a meal with her, but she had ended up earning an unexpected profit.

Ra-Eun had acquired a list of senior congresspersons that Han-Gyo was close to, without needing to go out of her way to find out herself. It was all already inside her head.

‘Especially among them, Kim Han-Gyo’s right and left hands were Congressman Jo Su-Hwang and Jin Pil-Oh.’

The two of them had been recruited to the party by Han-Gyo himself. Due to that, their loyalty toward Han-Gyo was undoubtedly high. Ra-Eun decided to make those two her targets during the lull that came after the election.

Ra-Eun summoned Ma Yeong-Jun to her office since background checks were his specialty.

“I need information, mister. Could you investigate these two people?”

Yeong-Jun unintentionally clicked his tongue the moment that he saw the names of his targets.

“They’re both bigshot congresspersons.”

“Yeah. They’re Kim Han-Gyo’s closest subordinates.”

Ra-Eun was planning on helping the newly-elected congresspersons so that their influence would spread further throughout the party.

“Even the tiniest things are fine, so just dig up everything you can on them. If they have weaknesses, then all the better,” Ra-Eun remarked.

“Got it.”
