Hello.
Could you give me a ride?
(Episode 25)
How about this?
The owner of the biggest resort on the island is my friend.
I will tell him about you, so when you get there...
Well.
I appreciate your kindness, but I'm good.
You don't give me a chance to help you.
Then...
could you help me?
Help you? How?
There's a very important...
party I must attend.
Everyone should bring a partner, but I haven't found a partner yet.
Just two hours.
Can you stay beside me for just two hours?
Let me ask you something.
Okay.
That night,
how did you get in an accident?
On your own, in a remote place like that.
It was really... I was about to go crazy.
My car broke down,
and my cell phone battery even ran out.
I was looking for a place to make a phone call,
and a car suddenly came towards me at a crazy speed.
There was no way I could avoid it.
On the news,
I heard there was a big incident near that area.
Maybe it was a car that was related to that incident.
Good luck and bad luck are like two sides of a coin.
Thankfully,
I was able to meet you.
This time,
I will bring you good luck.
If it's an important party,
I guess it will be for important figures as well.
What kind of people will be coming?
He's here.
It's nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
- Hello. - Hello.
Thank you for coming all this way.
I am...
Daniel Kim of DK Investment.
Hello. I'm Lee Jae Hun of Un Am Foundation.
And this is...
Chairwoman Yoon Hee Ju?
It's nice to meet you.
I've heard a lot about you.
I heard you were coming.
We're old friends from school.
That's why you asked about Un Am Foundation.
How is the Paju campus construction work going?
The largest international campus in Asia.
I'm really looking forward to it.
Yes, thank you.
I'm heading the construction.
Oh, really?
Yes.
(CEO Seo Min Kyu)
You made some quick changes.
Were you waiting for your brother-in-law to die?
What do you want?
- Where is he? - What do you mean?
You like riddles, don't you?
"Where is the money?"
Mr. Kang.
Leon.
You knew Leon would turn up that night.
And you knew all the targets including me would die.
That's why you escaped alone. Am I wrong?
You're free to imagine what you want,
but it won't change anything.
Leon died that night.
No.
He's alive until I see him dead with my own two eyes.
Tell me everything you know now.
Why do you keep trying to dwell in the past?
The situation has changed.
Then we must change our way of living.
Stop acting smart and just answer my question.
Leon is dead.
So, what kind of business...
do you have on your mind to have come to Korea?
I invest and receive investments.
I'll do the same thing I've always done in New York.
I heard you are the person who built Un Am Foundation...
to its current state.
I look forward to your support.
A famous company...
and a mysterious owner.
I didn't expect to meet you like this.
If you're from the Ivy League, which university did you graduate?
Oh, right. You have many friends over there.
They might even know each other.
I dropped out of school...
and started working on Wall Street.
I'm a man that's more fit for the field.
Right.
It's not like a college degree guarantees you money.
You and I are quite similar.
How's business lately?
Let's have a drink.
A startup company that was sold for 600 million dollars.
A cobalt mine discovered in Eastern Europe.
A profit of eight million dollars...
due to the plummet of the New York Stock Exchange.
Their conversation sounds so easy as if they're picking...
tofu and eggs at a grocery store.
If Ms. Jang's ledger was full of losses,
this is their very own league.
A perfect world full of profits.
How did you and Daniel Kim meet?
Why do you ask?
Are you implying that he's way out of my league?
That's not what I meant.
Put in a good word...
for me.
I'm telling you this because you don't seem to know.
Daniel Kim is like a walking gold mine.
If we can build a great rapport with him this time...
He's more thorough than I thought.
He brought you here because he obviously...
vetted me and found out that we're friends.
Right. He's a self-made investor who made it in New York,
so I shouldn't underestimate him.
We met by coincidence.
Seo Yeon.
Those people outside don't believe in coincidence.
And they never do anything useless or act without a reason.
Every word and hand gesture means money to them.
Have you not called In Pyo yet?
Instead of wasting your time roaming here,
you should beg him to give you at least a little bit of that money.
I have a more realistic plan.
I'll forget about the money I stole.
Instead, I'll just earn it myself.
The entire 9.9 million dollars.
Give me a break.
Do you actually think that's possible?
Why not?
I just need to figure out how money can make money.
Then I can even make 99 million, let alone 9.9 million dollars.
Just like you and everyone else outside.
Why don't you just date a rich guy?
To me, that is more of a "realistic plan".
In a year from now,
I'll host a party like this.
I hope to see you there.
I was so bored the whole evening. Thanks for making me laugh.
I'll wait for the invitation.
Come save me.
Everyone is interrogating me about who you are.
I told them you're my fiancee, but no one believes me.
He's just joking.
He's like my mentor. He's currently teaching me how to invest.
So did you work in the financial management industry?
Yes.
It's a small business, but I've been preparing things step by step.
- Thank you. - I'll see you soon.
- Mr. Lee. - Yes.
- Nice meeting you. - See you again.
Yes, see you.
Shall we?
[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E25 'Woman of 9.9 Billion' "Leon's Plan" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
You knew that Hee Ju and I went to school together,
didn't you?
Bringing her friend here was pretty much the only option I had...
for a foreigner like me to win her trust.
Did it offend you?
It won't be as effective as you thought it'd be.
Are you and Ms. Yoon not that close?
Right.
I was thinking about how much I should pay you...
for saving me.
Will you pay me a lot?
One million dollars in cash?
- That's a lot of money. - But I don't think...
that's enough to satisfy your greed.
How about that times 10?
10 million dollars.
Would you be able to manage the money if I entrusted you with it?
If there's any profit,
we'll split it 50-50.
What do you say?
So you'll either pay me a million dollars...
or trust me to manage the operating funds of 10 million.
I must choose one, right?
Why are you...
so generous to me?
Because you saved my life...
so that I can be generous to others.
(Newly Opened, Paradise Bar)
What do you mean?
She's hospitalized at the moment.
I heard something's wrong with her lungs.
Surgery won't do.
I think her medications alone are very expensive.
Frankly, I'm impressed that she has held out for this long.
That being said,
I told her I'd help her collect her money.
Seo Yeon is going out of her way to help her.
Watching her really breaks my heart.
You need to stop chasing that dead man.
Come to your senses already.
I told you that Leon is not dead. How many times must I tell you?
Fine. Let's say that he's alive.
Will you ruin your own life because of some guy...
who may never turn up?
Why don't you just look after the woman in front of you instead?
"Let's put the past behind and leave together."
Just do it.
It's already too late.
What? How did you know we'd be here?
She's got a boyfriend now.
And he's filthy rich.
By the way, what's with you two? Eating and drinking together.
This is good.
You don't need me anymore,
but hopefully you will need this...
one day.
Gosh.
I did forgive you for shooting me.
But I never keep the person who saw my face alive.
You fool!
You startled me.
Are you out on a stroll?
To see if the old woman has croaked?
I came because I heard that...
you'd gotten sick.
I'm sorry, but you're a bit too late.
Seo Yeon visited long ago.
I'm here to see you.
Fine. Let's say you are.
Open the door.
Are you all right?
My son Yeong Nam...
was no trouble at all.
Whenever I was out,
he cooked and ate on his own.
He did his homework on his own.
He even went to bed on his own.
It was after I lost him...
that I mourned and missed him for real.
The spirits should've taken money-crazed me,
not my sweet, innocent son.
My brother was the same.
If you counted reasons to live,
he had hundreds and thousands more than me.
Life is...
such a treacherous thing.
It's tough.
That Spanish fool.
He's dead, isn't he?
No.
I'm still looking for him.
Tae Woo.
Stop acting like a blind fool.
Yeong Nam and your brother both...
will say you did more than enough.
It's not over yet.
Then what about Seo Yeon?
Will you just watch as she wastes...
her poor, cursed life?
Where are we?
Oh, this is my office.
And my residence.
Where are your staff?
They have a separate office. But I prefer it here.
Sit over there.
Picking you up put me an hour behind schedule.
Did you bring an investment proposal?
Yes.
It's me. Pass on a message.
"Fox hunt".
You grew taller.
Don't tease me.
Where's the boss?
He sent a message.
"Fox hunt".
I like how it stands out.
What do you think?
What?
Well... Hee Ju.
The investment project that DK Investment proposed.
Everyone at the party agreed to invest.
Everyone but us.
We said we're done talking about that.
This is an opportunity.
Daniel's offering everyone a gift because he came back.
It would be a pity to lose out.
Are you...
keeping an eye on the construction of the Paju campus?
It's my father's lifelong dream.
Don't mess it up.
Fine.
The dormitory that your father wants us to expand.
The funds for construction.
Where will you get that from?
Daewon Bank hasn't even considered a loan.
I'll meet with the bank president.
Why should we grovel and beg to a bank?
Spend a fortune on DK Investment...
and its profit will solve our problems.
Hee Ju. Darling.
Trust me this once.
I'll prove myself to you and your father.
Stop talking about DK Investment.
I don't like that guy.
I don't know what he's up to.
Are you not just peeved because of Seo Yeon?
It's a relief if you're not.
Will you curse me out if I stop here?
You'll nag that I do nothing properly, won't you?
I'm sorry.
But Tae Hyeon.
There's someone else I must look after.
I just can't turn away from her.
Thank you for calling DK Investment.
I'm Un Am Foundation's Lee Jae Hun.
Put me through to your CEO.
I'm sorry. Calls I wasn't instructed to connect...
Listen.
Your CEO told me to call when I needed to.
Then when can I speak with him?
How interesting.
You have the eyes of a true novice.
Information that you can find on the internet...
is already dead.
They won't profit...
or they're old ideas.
But there still are items with potential.
Do you think I'll entrust you with my 10 million dollars on that?
Excuse me.
Hello?
Where are you?
Oh, I'm out right now.
Why did you call?
I have something to tell you. I'll go pick you up.
No. Why don't we...
just meet at Ms. Jang's place?
Okay.
(Episode 26 will air shortly.)
Sorry.
Your boyfriend?
Your advice was to the point,
but I'd like you to honor our promise.
10 million dollars.
You said you'd let me invest it freely.
If I were to ask permission each time,
that's just running errands.
I will...
decide where to invest and make the investments myself.
Okay.
Let's talk over lunch.
I have to go.
I'll do more research on the insufficient topics.
Jung Seo Yeon.
If you want to succeed, set a clear goal.
Go for either money or men.
You can't have both.
I know.
That night,
I chose one of those,
which is why you're alive.
(Business Investment Proposal)
What is the matter?
It won't take long.
I'm not good with words, so I'll just put it simply.
I thought enough to make my head explode.
The reason you're reluctant to leave...
could be because you're afraid to leave alone.
I bought two plane tickets.
One for myself.
So if you ever asked me to come with you,
I could pretend to come reluctantly.
But I know you're not the person to ask such favors,
so...
So...
I'll ask instead.
Let's go to the island together.
You and me.
When we're there,
there will be much more I can do for you than here.
I'll do everything.
If your tire blows out, I'll change it for you.
Tae Woo.
You said that...
you want to be happy.
I clung to the past...
and ended up like this.
With you as an excuse,
now I'd like to dream of tomorrow and happiness.
To have hope.
Let's go together.
Thank you.
I mean it.
Don't thank me. Just say one word.
"Yes."
That's all I need.
I want to go.
But...
I can't.
Why not?
Why can't you go? Why not?
He said...
your name.
What?
Tae Woo.
Your brother.
At the last moment,
he said your name.
What did you just say?
Did you see Tae Hyeon while he was alive?
Why...
You should've called an ambulance.
Why did you just watch him? Why?
Why?
For the money?
Was it really for the money?
I'm so sorry.
I'm very sorry.
Tae Woo, I...
- I'll... - Stop.
I don't need an excuse. Stop.
A human being...
A normal human being...
wouldn't have done that.
Tae Woo.
(This multimillionaire has shocked the investment market.)
Even if you fool the whole world,
you can't fool me.
I will take back...
my money, and my wife...
and bury you in that pit.
Gosh.
If you continue to collect money like this,
you'll gather quite a large sum.
Is there a business idea you have in mind?
- Sorry? - Come on.
This is your workplace. Why are you so distracted?
Sorry.
Mr. Oh. Did you meet Tae Woo today?
No, I haven't seen him since yesterday.
Why? Did you two...
have a nice and romantic talk or something?
Mr. Oh. Instead of a general investment,
if I wanted to aim for larger profits,
what kind of business would you recommend?
What?
You want to take that risk before you have the money?
Let's say I have a large amount of funds that I can operate.
Let's see. The most concrete type of investment is...
making money by lending money.
Even companies that seem fine suddenly need money at times.
As long as the collateral is guaranteed,
those types of businesses are the most profitable ones.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Cheers.
Gosh, this is...
It's very nice. It has a soft and deep aroma.
I've never tasted anything like this.
You have a great taste for wine as well.
Just like I expected.
What do you mean?
Well, everyone thinks the leader of Un Am Foundation...
is Chairwoman Yoon Hee Ju,
but...
I'm focusing more on you.
The thing is, a family business has clear pros and cons.
An heir that needs to manage the assets and liabilities...
of the previous chairman. There's a limit to what she can do.
At times like that, a talented man like you can become a solution.
Stop flattering me.
To be honest,
if I'm given a chance,
I'm confident too.
But my wife and father-in-law are both so picky.
Anyhow, I really want to be a part of...
your investment proposal, sir. I really mean it.
You don't have to call me like that.
Don't you think it's a bit too stiff?
Will it be okay if I call you...
my brother?
Of course.
I mean... Of course it's okay. Why not?
Then taking this opportunity,
can I call you my big brother as well?
There's still a lot of time left for you to invest.
I'll provide you with my full support.
Daniel, I feel as if I've gained the best partner of my life.
Thank you, Daniel.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Thank you so much.
Gosh, the aroma is amazing.
(Hee Ju)
Excuse me a second.
Yes.
What?
The prosecution is about to summon Yoon Ho Sung,
the former chairman of Un Am Foundation...
on charges of corruption and bribery...
regarding Un Am University's Paju campus construction work.
The prosecution has informed that on next Tuesday at the earliest,
they will summon Mr. Yoon for violating the laws...
regarding acts of corruption and bribery.
Mr. Yoon is being suspected of giving out bribes in 2017...
worth 800,000 dollars to government officials of Paju...
in order to receive approval for commencement...
of Un Am University's construction work.
What is going on?
Are you okay?
What about your father?
[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E26 'Woman of 9.9 Billion' "Seo Yeon's Honesty" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(Dad)
Mr. Yoon has announced he will receive investigation truthfully,
and he sincerely apologized...
to all his employees and students for being involved...
in such an unfortunate incident.
(Hee Ju)
The prosecution will begin their investigation...
on Un Am Foundation soon.
There will be a search and seizure, and Yoon Ho Sung,
and maybe even Yoon Hee Ju might be indicted.
A fox hunt.
Yoon Hee Ju.
In order to bring out that suspicious fox,
I have no choice but to smoke her out of her hole.
What did I tell you three years ago?
I said if you collected information on Yoon Ho Sung's corruption,
it'll be useful one day.
They'll receive pressure soon...
regarding the funding for the Paju campus construction.
This is only the beginning.
I'll show them what happens...
if they try to make me an enemy.
Then what about Jung Seo Yeon?
In one blow!
Once Yoon Hee Ju loses to a friend...
whom she once looked down on,
she'll lose control and crumble for good.
This dinner...
is for you.
You put up with working for Kim Do Hak,
and pretended to be bought off by Yoon Hee Ju.
You held out firmly.
I just followed the scenario you came up with.
Thank you.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
This was in front of the door.
(10 million dollars, come alone)
10 million dollars, come alone.

(10 million dollars, come alone)
Do not sing the song of glory...
until you're victorious in the end.
The prosecution...
has changed many of their members.
Congressman Park isn't answering his phone...
due to overseas business.
After the investigation,
you will...
be arrested.
There's no way to stop it,
and I don't even want to stop it.
There's no need to tell me something obvious.
Announce an official apology,
together with a proposal to reform the foundation.
You must get rid of me in order to save the foundation.
Why did you do it?
This has been your life-long dream.
Because back then...
what I did was right.
If you only follow your conscience,
your desire will fall behind.
If I was going to regret it anyway,
it was right for me to pursue my dream.
Is that why you were involved...
in the investment scam three years ago?
Just because...
of your ambition?
The methods I persisted turned out to be wrong.
Now,
it's time for you to protect the foundation in your own way.
I'm trusting you, Hee Ju.
Dad.
Hello, sir.
Father.
I know I'm an incompetent son-in-law,
but I promise I'll take care of Hee Ju.
And I'll try my best not to taint the foundation's reputation.
I'll trust you for the first and very last time.
Why did it have to be her?
The person who saw you before your death.
Why did it have to be her?
(Restricted Number)
Leon is alive.
Tonight at 11 p.m., behind GM Center.
I think it's Kang Tae Woo.
It's Kang Tae Woo.
He's just bait. Let's move out.
(Restricted Number)
I told you to come yourself, but you sent your men.
You only sent bait as well.
It's a basic rule to be cautious...
when such a large amount of money is being exchanged.
I want double the amount now.
I'll inform you of the place and time later.
Are you...
a victim of the incident from three years ago?
You must have committed a lot of crimes.
I can repent with money.
That's what I wanted to hear. I'll be in touch.
You fools.
Search through all of Baek Seung Jae's emails...
and social media account messages before his death.
But it's against the law to pry into personal accounts.
The law?
It doesn't matter when you're catching bad people.
- What? - Since he didn't like Leon,
I'm sure he did some investigation on his own.
We must find where he hid it.
Okay.
What's the additional amount that needs to be invested...
- for Paju campus? - It's 13 million dollars,
and 8 million needs to be sent by this week.
But you can only operate a half of that amount currently.
What about the banks?
After Father's arrest,
receiving loans seems impossible.
They're pressuring us to repay our existing loans.
It's rotten milk.
What?
(Jung Seo Yeon)
Do you really mean that?
I know Hee Ju well.
As long as she overcomes this crisis,
she'll protect Un Am Foundation at all costs...
and rebuild it.
You also need Hee Ju as your partner, don't you?
That was before the corruption scandal came to surface.
This could be an opportunity.
If you lend a hand when no one is willing to,
you'll earn trust...
as well as money.
Using a friend's crisis...
as a foothold for investment?
It's a deal that will be mutually helpful.
I'll use the funds I have for Un Am Foundation.
I wonder if Chairwoman Yoon will accept that offer.
I can persuade her.
I know I came at a bad time,
but there's something I must tell you.
Sir!
I found something in Baek Seung Jae's emails.
(Caza del zorro)
"Caza del zorro?"
- What does this mean? - It's Spanish.
"Fox Hunt"?
Anyway, I think I can unlock the document quick.
Okay.
(Investment Contract)
These conditions...
are pretty amazing.
CEO DK must think highly of us.
What did he say when he sent you?
It was my decision.
CEO DK entrusted me with some funds.
I was wondering where to invest it.
I think I can help your foundation.
So you rushed over here with glee.
To show off with someone else's money.
Right now, it's my money.
Take the offer, Hee Ju.
Solve your financial problem first.
Seo Yeon.
Money is so amazing, isn't it?
Look, honey.
The glint in her eyes, the way she talks, and her posture.
She's not who she was when she cleaned houses.
If you're like this with his money,
how amazing would you be with money of your own?
I will...
help you then if you need it.
No. I won't accept your help.
Now or in the future.
Never in my life.
Don't end up regretting...
because of your pride.
I'll sort out the financial issue.
My priority is...
to find out who's using...
my father's past to get to me...
and the foundation.
My gosh.
Poor you.
Honey.
- What? - She's leaving.
Seo Yeon.
I'll see if I can talk to Hee Ju.
What is it now?
Is the chairwoman in?
Yes, she's in.
Is it still valid?
The offer that we find him together.
Your foundation's scandal.
It's an attack from Leon.
(Woman of 9.9 Billion)
Sort it out quick.
You won't accept DK's funds?
Are you out of your mind?
You're letting your pride ruin everything.
The cash was moved to my office.
I'm a ghost now.
The VIP investment club. I want in.
I was mistaken.
Jung Seo Yeon can never give up on the money.
CEO Daniel Kim.
Are you two an item or something?
I'll take full responsibility, sir.
Help me, sir.
Leon's after me.
If it fails, you go down first.
Who are you? That's what I want to know.
