I Became a Scoundrel of a Chaebol Family-Chapter 172

Soo-ah fell silent for a moment.

Why was Kim Sun-ah suddenly bringing this up?

She had a vague idea but also wondered—would someone who had already found a partner and gotten engaged really go that far?

“I was doing both jobs until recently. My position eventually shifted entirely to the secretary role.”

“...So the rumors were true. I heard they formed an entire team just to guard a certain Young Master.”

“That’s me.”

“Wow... As expected of the Go family’s Young Master. That’s really incredible....”

Kim Sun-ah even gave a small round of applause, though her reaction seemed exaggerated.

“I’ve seen cases where one or two officers were placed in promising departments, but relocating an entire team? That’s a first for me...!”

“You seem very interested.”

“Oh... It’s just that it’s such an unusual situation... Haha.”

“....”

Soo-ah narrowed her eyes slightly.

Kim Sun-ah looked flustered, licking her lips to moisten them as she tried to smile.

“So... how’s the job? I heard Prestige is ridiculously demanding....”

“It’s tough, but the rewards make it worth it.”

“Really? That’s good to hear. I mean, as your senior—ah, does it feel weird if I call myself that?”

“Hah... Why are you acting so humble? It’s suffocating. Just be yourself. We’re not strangers.”

“Come on~. Things are different now. You’re not my subordinate anymore.”

“....”

“Anyway, I’m glad you’re doing well. Honestly, I was worried when you suddenly left. You were one of my favorites, after all.”

“You don’t need to worry. I’m doing more than fine.”

“Uh, uh-huh. That’s good to hear.”

The conversation stalled.

It was clear Kim Sun-ah wanted something but was hesitating to say it.

She hadn’t been like this before.

Back then, she had been bolder—someone who wore a gentle smile but always pushed through to get her way.

Now, though, she was practically groveling.

‘Looks like I was right.’

If she hadn’t changed as a person, then there was a reason she was forcing herself into this submissive role.

Maybe she wanted to become Go Muyeol’s secretary.

Being a high-ranking police officer couldn’t compare to the power and wealth that came with being Muyeol’s personal aide.

But if she had made up her mind, she should’ve just said so outright instead of dragging it out like this.

“Deputy Chief Kim Sun-ah?”

“Y-yes?”

Hearing her name, Kim Sun-ah stiffened immediately.

When Soo-ah was still a rookie, Kim Sun-ah had been her team leader.

Now, she had climbed the ranks to become a deputy chief at the provincial level.

“Do you want to become the Young Master’s secretary?”

“...!”

Kim Sun-ah swallowed hard before answering.

“Yes! I... I’d like to become the Young Master’s secretary. But, um... I’d also like to stay involved as a police officer....”

“Why?”

“Well, I think I could be useful to the Young Master not just as a secretary but also as a high-ranking police official.”

“No, that’s not what I meant. Why do you want to become his secretary?”

“Ah... That’s...”

The answer was obvious.

Money and power.

Becoming the gatekeeper to Asia’s largest royal family would bring unimaginable wealth and influence.

Being a mere police officer couldn’t compare to what she could gain as Muyeol’s secretary.

And Soo-ah couldn’t really judge her for it—she had joined Muyeol’s side for similar reasons.

Muyeol wasn’t the type to criticize people for wanting power.

As long as they didn’t misuse his name for shady dealings, he was surprisingly lenient toward his people.

Why else would he have forgiven Soo-ah so easily when she was practically a spy?

At the time, she’d felt like she’d been dragged through hell, but Muyeol had chosen to trust her.

And now, he treated her like nothing had ever happened.

‘The Young Master has bigger priorities....’

“You don’t need to answer. I already know.”

“....”

“But ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) you will need to answer this—Deputy Chief Kim Sun-ah, are you a virgin?”

“....”

Kim Sun-ah’s eyes widened momentarily before she shut her mouth and lowered her head.

She didn’t even bother asking why Soo-ah would pose such a question.

She already knew the reason.

After all, it was Kim Sun-ah herself who had explained the importance of virginity to Soo-ah when she was still a rookie.

She had said that a beautiful woman who was also a virgin was untouchable—that her value would skyrocket.

She’d warned Soo-ah never to waste it carelessly and to preserve it for the sake of her future.

Yet now, here she was...

“Becoming the Young Master’s secretary means becoming his property. Virginity is obviously an important factor—appearance too.”

“....”

“You’re certainly attractive, Deputy Chief, but I doubt someone who’s already engaged is still a virgin. Am I wrong?”

“...You’re right.”

“...You’ll have to break off your engagement. Marriage won’t be an option.”

“...I figured as much....”

“....”

It was hard to watch my former superior hang her head so helplessly.

After all, it might have been thanks to her that I ended up where I am today.

Maybe I should throw her a little glimmer of hope(?).

“...That doesn’t mean there’s absolutely no way.”

“!”

Soo-ah stepped closer and whispered.

“If it’s for the broader cockhouse... you don’t necessarily have to be a virgin. But, of course, you’d still have to break off the engagement.”

“B-broader... cockhouse?”

Kim Sun-ah flinched at the crude term.

“People like me are called ‘cockhouses.’ And those who are casually kept around and pulled out whenever needed are referred to as being in the ‘broader cockhouse.’”

“....”

It was a term she had never heard before.

She’d at least heard the word ‘cockhouse’ before, but ‘broader cockhouse’?

Where did such vulgar terminology even come from?

“Even that would be better than just remaining a police officer. The Young Master—no, our Master—is a very peculiar person. He might even end up owning this entire country someday. If you can earn his favor...”

“This entire country...?”

“Yes. All of it.”

It was a kind of instinct.

An instinct honed through years of detective work.

There was no logical explanation, but Muyeol had that kind of aura.

Especially when he pulled off things that seemed completely absurd—like making massive profits by betting everything on Real Production, a company infamous for trash games. Or casually discovering something unheard of, like the Burning Rose. Or creating gems so beautiful they left you breathless.

He definitely had an aura.

“I believe in him. That’s why I’ve decided to serve him for the rest of my life—as far as I can.”

Kim Sun-ah saw the unwavering conviction in Soo-ah’s eyes.

Her own confidence wavered.

She couldn’t muster that kind of look.

“I....”

“As you can see, we have plenty of excellent personnel here. If someone as exceptional as you were to guide and mentor them, they would grow to use their skills for the safety and order of our citizens, maximizing public benefit. It would be a truly noble cause.”

The Namdong District Police Chief spoke with a graceful smile on her pretty face.

Her makeup was heavier than what’s trendy these days, but it only accentuated her mature allure.

You could say she had that classic MILF vibe—sensual and alluring.

“Hmm. You certainly do have many talented people.”

“Hoho. Don’t we?”

While I sat across from her, she handed me a device and I started flipping through personnel files.

But these so-called personnel files were practically all about female officers and female staff, with a heavy emphasis on their appearance.

Most of the photos looked more like modeling portfolios.

In other words, this was a catalog for sexual favors.

The chief had carefully selected the prettiest and sexiest women under her command, compiled this list, and handed it over for me to pick from.

Naturally, the women on the list wouldn’t have a say in the matter.

‘Wow. This place is thoroughly corrupt.’

I’d expected some form of sexual bribery, but I hadn’t anticipated it would be this professional(?).

‘Soo-ah managed to survive in a place like this. How the hell did she do it?’

Even when I checked her stats, Soo-ah was still a virgin.

Honestly, it was a mystery.

I put the device down with a tap.

“Chief.”

“Yes?”

“There’s something I’d like to confirm.”

“Go ahead.”

“I’m curious about what exactly is going through your mind.”

“My mind...? What do you mean by that?”

“You summoned me over the assault on the district chief, but all you’ve done is show me around. Why’s that?”

The chief waved her hands dismissively.

“Oh, Young Master. Naturally, we’ll close the case without any charges. How could we possibly investigate someone like you? I just thought, since you went through the trouble of coming here, you might as well have a little tour....”

“But it was broadcast live. Can you really get away with that?”

“Now that you’ve shown up here, the public will be satisfied. Once interest dies down, we’ll quietly wrap it up.”

“Is that so? Well, I suppose the expert knows best.”

I stood up.

She quickly followed suit, but I gestured for her to sit back down.

“Now let’s figure out what our chief really has in mind.”

“...Excuse me?”

I stepped closer.

Still seated on the sofa, she fidgeted nervously as I approached.

It was clear she felt uncomfortable sitting in front of me.

‘If it were a male chief, I’d use force or authority to establish dominance. But with a female chief?’

Especially one this pretty—there was only one thing to do.

Ziiip.

I unzipped right in front of her.

Her eyes grew wide.

“I couldn’t stop thinking about your mouth earlier, Chief.”
