I Became the Loan Shark Queen’s Grandson!
Chapter 27
Seoul, Yeongdeungpo.
The lawyer’s office.
A thick case file lay on the conference table.
A laptop, case-law books, and pens had been neatly arranged beside it.
The lawyer calmly pushed documents toward me.
“Client, the opening of the inheritance has been officially notified.”
A death certificate and court notice lay together on top.
I held the papers down and took a breath.
Then nodded.
“So now the real fight begins.”
My chest felt heavy.
But my determination didn’t waver.
Uncle Kim Dong-su asked in surprise,
“You mean the formal inheritance procedure has begun?”
“Yes. Now we need to proceed with a lawsuit for the reserved share of inheritance.”
My voice was calm.
But firm.
I immediately looked at the lawyer.
“This isn’t my personal matter. I’m pursuing this on behalf of debtor Han Mi-suk and her husband. We need to protect their rights.”
The provisional seizure had bought us time.
But in the end, we still needed a judgment to protect the assets.
I spoke to the lawyer again.
“Submit the full list of inherited assets. Farmland, buildings, cash, deposits. Nothing can be missing. We also need to find whatever the eldest son has hidden.”
The lawyer nodded.
“Yes. In particular, we’ll preserve the recent attempted transfers by the eldest son as evidence.”
“Also file for disclosure of property. If the court orders the eldest son to provide a complete list of his assets, any false statement becomes a serious problem.”
The lawyer continued taking notes.
“We’ll proceed with asset disclosure, document-production orders, and requests for factual inquiry. We’ll also obtain bank-account information and real estate records.”
I nodded.
“Send factual inquiry requests to the financial institutions and judicial scrivener offices too. If possible, obtain even the records of visits from the last month. Small traces can become evidence.”
Kim Dong-su carefully spoke.
“Taesan, this won’t be easy. The other side is the eldest son. He may have been preparing for this for a long time.”
I smiled softly.
“Uncle, don’t worry. In court, evidence eventually becomes everything. As long as we don’t make mistakes, we can win.”
Kim Dong-su still looked concerned.
“But the eldest son has held power in the family for years. He’s probably gathered plenty of people around him.”
“That’ll make him even more impatient. We only need to respond with facts. There’s no reason to become emotional.”
The lawyer continued.
“Their legal team is large, and they’ll likely use financial-sector connections. But we have our own strategy. We’ll move first and block them.”
“Then notify the prosecution too. Hiding inherited assets can become a criminal matter. We should prepare a criminal complaint as well.”
The lawyer immediately answered.
“Yes. I’ll prepare a draft complaint too.”
The conference room fell quiet for a moment.
I calmly turned through the papers.
The battle had already started.
I looked at Kim Dong-su.
“Uncle, instead of appearing in court, write down everything you personally witnessed. Organize exactly how the eldest son tried to take control of the assets.”
Kim Dong-su nodded.
“Yes. I’ll record everything I saw. I can’t just ignore what they did against the deceased’s rights.”
I answered briefly.
“That alone will be a great help.”
The lawyer took out another document.
“Client, we also applied to inspect the real estate registry. We’ll soon know whether any assets recently disappeared.”
I closed the file.
“Good. Even if the other side moves first, they eventually won’t withstand the evidence. Let’s prepare step by step.”
There was unwavering confidence in my voice.
This was a fight we couldn’t avoid.
And one we had to win.
The meeting continued for more than an hour.
The lawyer explained each strategy in detail.
Kim Dong-su wrote down every fact he could remember.
Then he asked again,
“Taesan, what happens if the eldest son hides documents or delays submitting them?”
“That can happen.”
I answered calmly.
“That’s exactly why we move first. Track bank accounts, secure tax-office records, and obtain real estate-transfer histories. Once we gather evidence they can’t hide, they won’t be able to endure.”
The lawyer nodded.
“Yes. We’ll prepare financial records, tax filings, and real estate-transfer records. Once submitted to court, they can be used as evidence.”
I spoke one final time.
“Don’t waver. Prepare to the end. No matter what pressure comes, respond only with facts.”
The building housing the Yeongdeungpo private lending office.
Kim Dong-su and I climbed the stairs and stopped in front of the international marriage brokerage office.
Across the corridor was Jo Sun-ja’s lending office.
On the opposite side, a brand-new sign had just been installed.
[International Marriage Brokerage]
The old hallway made the new sign look especially bright.
When I opened the door, the smell of fresh paint remained inside.
There were only two desks, a telephone, and a few filing cabinets.
It was a small office.
Inside, Vietnamese woman Lin stood and bowed.
“Welcome.”
Her Korean pronunciation was clear.
But there was nervousness in her voice.
I smiled and stood beside Kim Dong-su.
“Ms. Lin, starting today, Uncle is the president of this office. Just think of me as someone from next door who stops by often.”
Kim Dong-su looked at me in shock.
“Me? I’m the president?”
“Yes. You’re the president. I’m just someone helping from the side.”
Lin looked at Kim Dong-su.
Then quickly bowed.
“Understood. President, I look forward to working with you.”
