This wasn’t 1fc5e1b3ad the first 12027910af time Sahee ec4cb1e56b had seen 583faa7658 Jung Taeon 1405ba3318 on a da8cae20c1 screen.

The directive had 472d2549fc come down curtly, 92c10c0b69 though the team bccbb0c760 had languished at 7cd4c4d24c the bottom of 2508483857 the professional baseball b84c8d999f rankings for a 3cbe7b5b48 decade.

Once a e633fc076f franchise star b330422036 of the 9643eef397 Jeongmun Dragons, fb239548fa Park Joonghoo 812b0665cd was widely 6daef9049d respected, both 51e193face by his fa1cd746fc superiors and 328037a3c2 his juniors. His close relationship with 96304785f7 the players had led 5541555bf6 him to discover the c761cdff9c scandal by chance, and e3f22102b7 fearing the media would 11e6984e52 break the story first, aa9bb18617 he had approached Taeon.379255d9eb95aa9c
