Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Frustrated, Ding Qing lit a cigarette and took a few deep drags.

After finishing his cigarette, Ding Qing grabbed Li Zicheng and pulled him up, staring into his eyes and saying, "Listen to me, you little bastard!"
I don't care if you're a policeman or not, I've always considered you my brother! Now you have two choices: first, get out of here, and I'll send you to another country and never let you come back to South Korea!
Second, forgetting your police officer status, you're still my brother!

Li Zicheng suddenly looked up at Ding Qing, his face full of confusion.

Ding Qing patted him on the shoulder and said seriously, "You choose!"

"I..." Li Zicheng couldn't speak for a long time.

Ding Qing didn't say anything more, but patted Li Zicheng on the shoulder and turned to leave.

"Tsk tsk, what brotherhood!"

Outside the chemical plant, Chen Jiajun and his men stood in the rain, watching Ding Qing turn and leave.

His men only carried two gasoline drums, which means that Ding Qing did not kill Li Zicheng.

Sure enough, a moment later, Li Zicheng walked out of the factory looking disheveled and got into his car in a daze.

Chen Jiajun said to his intelligence officers, "Keep an eye on this kid. If he dares to get involved with the South Korean police again, find a way to take him out!"

Although Ding Qing had an inseparable brotherly bond with Li Zicheng, Chen Jiajun did not want anyone to ruin his plans.

If Li Zicheng can't think straight, then Chen Jiajun will have no choice but to do this for Ding Qing.

……

At this moment, inside the detention cell.

Section Chief Jiang is waiting for Li Zhongjiu.

Li Zhongjiu said to Section Chief Jiang with displeasure, "What are you doing in the middle of the night? You won't let me sleep! This is a violation of human rights!"

Section Chief Jiang sneered, "I've brought you news that will wake you up."

Li Zhongjiu retorted immediately: "Bullshit, wake up!"

Section Chief Jiang didn't seem to mind and continued, "The Kinmen Council meeting is about to begin! It's at 5 PM the day after tomorrow! Since you're not here, I estimate Ding Qing will be elected as the president!"

Lee Joong-gu crossed his arms on the table, sat up straight, and asked, "So? Are you mocking me?"

"Yes, I'm mocking you, you idiot!" Section Chief Jiang said bluntly.

"What? You son of a bitch..." Li Zhongjiu immediately exploded and started cursing.

But before he could finish his rant, Section Chief Jiang continued, "Look how stupid you are, losing your position like this! Since when did Kinmen become theirs? Wasn't Kinmen originally part of your Tiger Faction? Weren't you the chief?"

Section Chief Jiang ignored Li Zhongjiu's murderous gaze and calmly provoked him.

Li Zhongjiu was amused and annoyed: "I really didn't know our Section Chief Jiang was so concerned about me! Who's to blame for things turning out like this? If you hadn't treated me like this back then, none of this would have happened."

Section Chief Jiang said helplessly, "I said... we are police officers. When we receive a report, we have to investigate. If we have enough evidence, we throw them in jail. That's our job!"

Then Section Chief Jiang raised an eyebrow at Li Zhongjiu and said, "And who do you think reported it?"

After saying that, Section Chief Jiang took out the photos from the folder and threw them in front of Li Zhongjiu.

He then got up, patted Li Zhongjiu on the shoulder, and left.

Looking at the photo given to him by Section Chief Jiang, Li Zhongjiu could no longer suppress his anger.

Because the photo was taken when Ding Qing met him at the stadium that day.

With just a little trickery, Section Chief Jiang could obscure the timeline and pin the blame for reporting Li Zhongjiu firmly on Ding Qing's head.

Moreover, Ding Qing had no way of explaining it, which was the most powerful tactic.

The police are also very adept at using others to commit murder.

As soon as he stepped out of the interrogation room, Section Chief Jiang heard Li Zhongjiu slamming his fist on the table and roaring furiously.

"Ding Qing, you little bastard, you're really despicable!"

"So what do you want me to do? Perform a blade dance? Fuck you!"

"I am Lee Jung-gu, the one and only Lee Jung-gu!"

"Xiba!!!"

After venting his anger, Li Zhongjiu summoned his underlings early the next morning.

In front of his underlings, Li Zhongjiu threw the photos that Section Chief Jiang had given him onto the table one by one.

"That bastard Ding Qing!" Li Zhongjiu's henchman cursed aloud after seeing it.

Li Zhongjiu coldly replied, "These are like rat poison; they're poison if you eat them! But I have no choice but to eat them!"

Li Zhongjiu wasn't stupid; he quickly realized that this was a scheme by Section Chief Jiang, something orchestrated by the police.

But given the current situation, if Ding Qing comes to power, he will definitely eliminate me.

That's why Li Zhongjiu said he had no choice but to take the poison.

Li Zhongjiu sighed and smiled sickly, "I can't just die unjustly by myself, can I?"

His words implied that he intended to enter the Latin dance scene.

Whether Ding Qing did it or not is no longer important.

Then Li Zhongjiu said to his underlings with a self-deprecating laugh, "Who knows? Maybe this poison will turn into a blood-activating agent! Fine, I'll ask the police to lend me my knife to kill someone! I'll be the knife!"

……

At this moment, at Li Zicheng's home.

Li Zicheng didn't sleep all night and smoked all night.

The ashtray was practically overflowing with cigarette butts.

Seeing that it was Section Chief Jiang calling him again, Li Zicheng did not answer the call this time.

He had thought about yesterday's events for a long time, comparing them to how his older brother, Ding Qing, trusted him and entrusted him with important responsibilities when he was a gangster. He also recalled the torment and distrust he had endured during his years as an undercover agent.

And then there's my boss, who repeatedly forces me to do things I don't want to do.

Lee Ja-sung realized that being an undercover police officer in South Korea was worse than being a dog.

They use it when it's useful, but don't care about it at all when it's not.

Adding to this, Ding Qing's concerned words last night became the final straw that broke Li Zicheng's back.

So Li Zicheng stubbed out the last cigarette with his foot, then grabbed his incessantly ringing phone and smashed it on the ground before striding out of the house.

Ding Qing also didn't sleep all night, waiting for Li Zicheng to come to work.

He even repeatedly asked the underlings standing guard outside to see if Li Zicheng had come over.

After being asked several times, Ding Qing slumped into a chair, staring blankly out the door.

Just then, footsteps sounded, and Ding Qing looked up to find that it really was Li Zicheng.

His previously unpleasant face now broke into a smile: "Damn it, you little bastard, coming to work so late! I've been waiting for you!"

Ding Qing didn't mention yesterday's events, which meant the matter was over.

Then, in front of Lee Ja-sung, he burned Lee Ja-sung's documents to ashes.

Li Zicheng had already decided to go all the way, and said calmly, "Section Chief Jiang just contacted me, so the police have obviously made some new moves!"

Ding Qing said nonchalantly, "What tricks can they possibly pull..."

“No, Li Zhongjiu is in their hands now. If it were me, I would instigate Li Zhongjiu to attack you! Once you're gone, this farce can come to an end!” Li Zicheng said with a serious expression. “Therefore, your bodyguards need to be upgraded!”

Seeing Li Zicheng's expression, Ding Qing was genuinely happy.

"You're just like me!" Ding Qing said with a smile. "I've already met with Section Chief Jiang, who's been stirring up trouble, and I know he's not going to let this go! So I was prepared all along!"

Li Zicheng looked at Ding Qing with some surprise and said, "How did you know about this?"

"Your boss is incredibly smart, isn't that enough?" Ding Qing said with a smug look on his face.

This sight reminded Li Zicheng of the times he and Ding Qing used to hang out on the streets more than a decade ago. He rolled his eyes as usual and said, "You're almost bald!"

"Hey, you brat!" Ding Qing said with a laugh, "Alright, alright, didn't I tell you I have helpers too?"

"A helper?" Li Zicheng said, somewhat surprised.

Ding Qing kept everyone in suspense, saying, "I won't tell you now. Anyway, we'll probably have to deal with him again later, so you'll find out then. But I can give you a little hint: this guy is a very important figure!"

Li Zicheng became even more curious: "Very powerful? Very powerful?"

Ding Qing thought for a moment and said, "Let me put it this way! If he wanted to, he could completely destroy South Korea without the United States interfering!"

As the Guojun Group expands its territory, Chen Jiajun's strength has been studied by many people and intelligence agencies.

This is a consensus reached after repeated research by many institutions, not something Ding Qing made up on the spot.

"Hiss!" Upon hearing Ding Qing's words, Li Zicheng couldn't help but gasp, then looked at Ding Qing with surprise: "When did you get to know such an important person?"

Although Ding Qing sometimes seems like a complete idiot and not very reliable.

But he usually doesn't brag about these kinds of things.

Ding Qing smiled and said, "I don't know him! He just came to me and wanted me to do him a favor."

After listening, Li Zicheng didn't say anything more, nodded and said, "You know what you're doing." With that, Li Zicheng prepared to leave to upgrade the security measures around Ding Qing.

But just as he was about to leave, Ding Qing called him back and said, "By the way, brother, weren't you investigating who Section Chief Jiang sent to monitor you?"

Li Zicheng said with a look of surprise, "You know about this too!"

"I told you, that friend of yours is incredibly resourceful; he even knows who's spying on you!" Ding Qing's expression suddenly turned serious. "But you'd better be prepared!"

"What? Who is it?" Li Zicheng asked, puzzled.

Ding Qing hesitated for a moment, then said to Li Zicheng, "Your wife!"

"What?" Li Zicheng's eyes widened in disbelief.

Ding Qing nodded and said, "That's right, it's your wife! But don't misunderstand, your wife isn't a police officer, but it seems that Section Chief Jiang has some kind of leverage over her."

"Damn it! That damned bastard!" Li Zicheng suddenly flew into a rage and slammed his fist on Ding Qing's desk, startling Ding Qing.

Li Zicheng had always suspected that Section Chief Jiang had people around him, but he never expected that Section Chief Jiang, that bastard, would be so despicable.

So at this moment, Li Zicheng was even somewhat relieved, relieved that he had chosen his brother Ding Qing instead of that bunch of bastards like Section Chief Jiang.

In their eyes, Lee Ja-sung was just a pawn, a tool.

It doesn't even have to be Li Zicheng; all you need is this one person.

Ding Qing looked at Li Zicheng with concern: "Brother, you little rascal, are you alright? If you're angry, let's go and kill that bastard Section Chief Jiang!"

Li Zicheng clenched his fist, shook his head at Ding Qing, and said, "No need, I'll handle this!"

"Hey..." Ding Qing frowned, "I can't trust you to do anything if you're like this!"

Li Zicheng composed himself and said calmly to Ding Qing, "Don't worry, I'm very calm right now. Brother... I need you to help me find out what exactly Section Chief Jiang has on my wife!"

"As for his life, I'll take it myself!"

Ding Qing nodded, then said rather angrily, "Damn it, I know, I'll definitely help you investigate. After all, our little nephew is about to be born! But your wife is pregnant right now, so you can't tell her about this!"

Li Zicheng nodded: "I understand, I'll go do my work now!"

"Go ahead!" Ding Qing nodded and said, "Oh, and pick someone up for me later, the bodyguard that important figure sent for me!"

Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, then took the address Ding Qing gave him.

After leaving the house, Li Zicheng ordered that Ding Qing's security be strengthened.

Normally there are three people, but now there are ten, and each of them is armed.

Although South Korea is a country with gun control, there's no way to enforce that now.

After resolving Ding Qing's security issues, Li Zicheng arrived at a hotel according to the address.

As soon as he parked his car, Li Zicheng saw a man with a body as large as a mountain.

This man is indeed Dum, Chen Jiajun's personal bodyguard.

To protect his investment, Chen Jiajun sent Du Mu over to ensure that Ding Qing wouldn't be taken care of.

"Hello, are you... Mr. Du sent by Mr. Chen?" Li Zicheng asked cautiously.

He himself had fought his way up from the streets, and his fighting ability was comparable to Ding Qing's.

But upon seeing Doom, Lee Ja-sung felt a suffocating sense of oppression.

Even if this person had no weapon, Li Zicheng felt that the other party could kill him at any time.

Without saying a word, Doom opened Li Zicheng's car door, got in without a word, and closed his eyes.

On the way, Li Zicheng kept checking on Dum in the back seat of the car through the rearview mirror.

He could tell that the mysterious bodyguard was formidable, but he was even more curious about what kind of person the bodyguard's boss was.

When Ding Qing refused to answer, he became even more curious.

However, Lee Ja-sung wasn't stupid; he didn't insist on asking at this crucial moment.

After all, his relationship with Ding Qing is very sensitive right now, and as a smart man, he would never do something so foolish.

Upon arriving at Ding Qing's logistics company, Li Zicheng parked the car and led Dum to Ding Qing's office.

As soon as he entered, Ding Qing greeted him in an unserious manner: "Hey buddy, you're really strong! What's your name?"

Doom's lips twitched. Although he knew about Ding Qing's personality from Chen Jiajun.

But seeing this guy's silly behavior still gave Doom a headache.

Doom could only say to Ding Qing, "Just call me Doom. I'll personally ensure your safety during this time."

"How many people can you take on?" Ding Qing asked, his face beaming with familiarity with the host, Doom's broad shoulders.

However, Ding Qing wasn't tall enough, so when he did this, he looked like a clown, which was quite comical.

Doom calmly extended one finger.

"One?" Ding Qing was taken aback.

"Everything!" Doom said calmly.

Ding Qing was taken aback: "You're that confident?"

Doom simply pursed his lips and said nothing.

There's no need to brag about this; even if he encountered the same superpowered team as last time, Doom wouldn't be afraid at all.

Ding Qing sensed the strong confidence in Doom's words and immediately smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum: "Then my life depends on you!"

Because the group's general election is in two days.

Ding Qing has been extremely busy lately, not only dealing with those useless old people within the group.

After all, these old folks are obsolete, but they still have the right to vote.

If Ding Qing doesn't want to carry out a bloody purge, he has to deal with these old guys.

The rest were Li Zhongjiu's underlings.

This is what gives Ding Qing the biggest headache.

Li Zhongjiu's underlings are acting like they've gone mad; they won't listen to anything he says.

They were constantly causing trouble for Ding Qing, which annoyed him immensely.

However, given the upcoming election, Ding Qing could not bring himself to kill the other party.

This left Ding Qing feeling constrained and unable to solve anything, instead causing him to lose face and embarrassment.

"Damn it! These bastards are insane!" Ding Qing said, clearly annoyed.

Li Zicheng said speechlessly, "It's not that they're crazy, it's that Li Zhongjiu is crazy! Boss, it's time to deal with them!"

Ding Qing frowned and said, "You do it?"

Li Zicheng glanced at the call from Section Chief Jiang on his phone, nodded, and said, "That's right, I'll do it!"

Li Zicheng's face was now filled with murderous intent, and Ding Qing could tell at a glance what he wanted to do.

After hesitating for a long time, Ding Qing sighed and said, "Alright, remember to do it beautifully!"

"Okay!" Li Zicheng nodded and led his men to leave.

But Ding Qing pressed down on his shoulder and solemnly instructed him, "Be careful! If you can't do it, I have other methods!"

"Don't worry!" Li Zicheng nodded and turned to leave.

After Li Zicheng left, the usually taciturn Dumu suddenly spoke to Ding Qing, saying, "Your brother is very likely to never come back!"

Ding Qing suddenly turned to look at Doum: "Why?"

Doom said calmly, "When doing important things, you can't let your emotions control you. He's clearly letting his emotions control him now. If he goes on like this, he'll easily fall into someone's trap!"

"What can we do then!" Ding Qing said helplessly, spreading his hands. "This kid won't listen to anything right now."

Doom said calmly, "What do you think?"

Ding Qing immediately realized what was happening and quickly took out her phone to dial Chen Jiajun's number.

"Mr. Chen, Li Zicheng is my brother. Please, please let Li Zicheng live," Ding Qing pleaded earnestly.

Chen Jiajun found Ding Qing's request somewhat amusing: "Ding Qing, I agreed to let you take the position of the head of the Jinmen Group, but I didn't agree to any other conditions. Don't you think you're being a bit unreasonable?"

“I’m willing to pay any price, as long as I can afford it!” Ding Qing said seriously.

This was a simple matter for Chen Jiajun; all he had to do was save Li Zicheng's life by sending two intelligence agents to follow the kid.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Jiajun said to Ding Qing, "Besides our previous agreement, you owe me a favor!"

"No problem!" Ding Qing agreed without hesitation.

He wasn't unaware of how difficult it was to repay favors.

But he had no other choice now. Compared to Li Zicheng's safety, owing Chen Jiajun a favor was nothing at all.

"Okay, I understand!" Chen Jiajun shook his head and hung up the phone. (End of Chapter)
