Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 100 Turmoil
The butler next to him was shocked. Ever since Shi Dongchu started to practice Qigong, he had no idea how long it had been since he had seen the president swear.

"President," he walked forward with a wooden face, "Representative Zhong Jiu is already waiting for you in the living room."

"Let him come up."

"Brother," Li Zhongjiu was pacing anxiously in the living room. After receiving the notification from the housekeeper, he hurried up and said, "Are you just going to watch Jiangnan Industrial do this?"

Shi Dongchu sighed, "What else? Are we really going to go to war with Jiangnan Industry? You know what our goal is."

Li Zhongjiu was choked. He sat down at the tea table in the study and said, "But."

Thinking of their agreement to create Kinmen, Li Zhongjiu sighed gloomily.

Shi Dongchu sat down opposite Li Zhongjiu, slowly rinsed the teapot with hot water in the kettle, and then made tea step by step.

The tea leaves roll in the pot, hot steam rises, and the tea fragrance spreads.

Although Li Zhongjiu was impatient, he gradually calmed down as Shi Dongchu moved slowly.

He has always regarded Shi Dongchu as his most trusted elder, and he also understands that he is not very smart. Although he was able to climb up with Shi Dongchu by relying on his courage and fighting, the premise is that it was Shi Dongchu who asked him to fight.

"Have you calmed down?" Shi Dong came out with a smile and pushed a cup of tea to the right front of Li Zhongjiu, "Drink a cup of tea and calm down."

Li Zhongjiu picked up the tea and took a sip, then quickly put it down. He frowned, then picked up the tea again and drank it all in one gulp.

“It’s a bit bitter.”

"I've been drinking tea for so long but it still tastes bitter," Shi Dongchu chuckled.

"Brother, can you talk now?"

"I just talked to Li You on the phone," Shi Dongchu hesitated for a moment, "I can't stop him."

He pressed down with his right hand, stopping what Li Zhongjiu wanted to say, "I know you are resentful because you feel you have lost face."

Of course, Li Zhongjiu would not get angry just because an employee died. He got angry only because he felt very painful when Li You slapped him in the face.

"Didn't you notice?" Shi Dongchu sighed, "There was such a big commotion during the day, but no one, whether police or prosecutors, came out. Why do you think that is?"

Li Zhongjiu sat there and shook his head dejectedly.

"If it was a security company harassing the whole city, the people above would not have watched him mess around in Seoul, but what about now?"

"Li You did it very cleverly," Shi Dongchu took a sip of tea. "Seoul is so big that Jiangnan Industrial's manpower simply cannot search the entire city. He just sent people to our territory and turned this into a fight."

"Of course the higher-ups won't care about this kind of thing. It's normal that no one cares as long as the people within the prosecutor's office cooperate with him."

"It's just a provocation to us." Li Zhongjiu finally managed to utter a few words.

"No," Shi Dongchu shook his head, "He is trying to establish his authority."

"There aren't many people in Jiangnan Industry right now, except for a lot of bad boys who work hard," Shi Dongchu said with a gleam in his eyes. "Jiangnan Industry has been quiet for too long, and those bad boys at the bottom lack the opportunity to climb up."

"If people at the bottom want to move up, get more money and enjoy more things, they have to fight their way up," Li Zhongjiu said, the taste of tea lingering in his mouth, "just like me at that time."

At that time, Li Zhongjiu was chosen by Shi Dongchu because of his courage and ruthlessness.

"We finally have the chance. What do you think those people under Jiangnan Industry will do?" Shi Dongchu put down the teacup. "Blocking someone's financial path is like killing their parents."

"Li You just assigned the work to them, but it was his team leaders who were angry because they were afraid of being squeezed out and losing their current positions."

Li Zhongjiu sighed, "And the worst ones are the rotten ones at the bottom. They only have one life, right?"

"We in Tiger Clan are very similar to Jiangnan Industry some time ago, Zhongjiu." Shi Dongchu was somewhat helpless, "But we have been at ease for a longer time. There are too many people in the company who just want to eat and wait for death. They have long lost their ruthlessness."

Jiangnan Industry's silence for just a short period of time will indeed stimulate the desires and fighting spirit of the grassroots gang members.

But it is different for the Tiger faction. They are in the pain period of transformation. They have been silent for too long and as a result, the people at the bottom have long lost their enterprising spirit.

It would be fine to let them fight and create some minor friction, but if they were to go head to head with Jiangnan Industrial, the consequences would be clear.

The employee was stabbed ten times by the people from Jiangnan Industrial. None of the people from the Tiger Faction around him dared to fight back. They all came back in shame to complain to Li Zhongjiu.

"I" Li Zhongjiu was not quite convinced.

Shi Dongchu snorted, "I know your direct lineage is very good, but you want to use your direct lineage to fight against other people's rotten children? Are you stupid?"

When he tried to exchange his medium-quality horse for a mule, others offered a mule that was not even as good as a low-quality horse. Li Zhongjiu knew that this deal was not worth it.

"Look at the reality, Zhongjiu." Shi Dongchu said in a deep voice, "If it is an all-out war, I can indeed use my connections and forces from other places to suppress him, but we in the Tiger Sect will also suffer heavy losses."

"But our goal would be ruined."

Li Zhongjiu scratched his head. "Even we in the Tiger Clan gave way to them. What about other companies?"

"Some people who don't care about their lives will go up to stop us, and then they will be crushed by Jiangnan Industry."

Shi Dongchu stood up and looked out the window. "I myself feel a little hesitant, but...what can I do?"

There is nothing wrong with Shi Dongchu's analysis. Li You indeed had Jiangnan Industrial taking action with this purpose in mind.

He also privately told the team leaders not to disturb others and only go to the territories of the security companies.

As for the person you are looking for?

Li You sat quietly in the car, looking at the Zhou Hospital in front of him.

Even if the time and place of the plot have all changed, the nature of this serial killer will not change, and he will keep his eyes on Zhang Dongxiu, whom he did not kill.

Zheng Taixi got out of the car next to him, knocked on the window, and sat in the passenger seat.

"President Li, thank you for your assistance." He twisted his body to thank Li You, "Our Cheonan Police Department is checking this person's information."

He looked around the hospital, a little confused, "Will this murderer really follow Zhang Dongxiu?"

"He obviously suffered a great loss at the hands of Zhang Dongxiu."

"He will follow." Li You looked at his watch. "Do you think a serial killer like this will let his prey go?"

"It's Detective Zheng," Li You looked at him with amusement, "You've been following me, a small company president? You think I'm a bad guy. You want to investigate me?" "President Li, you're joking," Zheng Taixi waved his hand, "Although I'm not a corrupt policeman who takes bribes, I'm not a clean guy either. We are partners after all."

"Then we have a deal. Whoever catches it first gets to deal with it."

"No problem," Zheng Taixi coughed, "If President Li or President Zhang try not to kill him directly, just make him seriously injured and on the verge of death. At least let me use it to gain merit first."

"Detective Zheng is really..."

"I am aboveboard." Zheng Taixi smiled. "I think I am a good policeman, but I don't want to be an ordinary good policeman for the rest of my life."

"I can't guarantee that."

"That's fine," Zheng Taixi scratched his head, "but it's harder to explain the death of the prisoner."

Li You's phone rang. Zheng Taixi took a look and silently opened the car door and got out.

"what happened?"

"We found the car, President." The person who called was Choi Doo-il. "It was Dixin's people who took the initiative to lead us to it."

"Take the initiative?" Li You had a smile on his face.

"Yes, they seemed to have heard that after the Tiger Faction gave way, they searched the territory first."

"That doesn't give us a reason to go in," Li You nodded, "Where's the car? What did you find?"

"There are traces of a collision on the front of the car," Choi Do-il crouched beside the white car and looked at it. "There is also some blood inside, but the ID in the car doesn't seem to belong to the person in the portrait."

"And according to people who saw the car, it seems that it has not moved since it was parked here yesterday."

“They must have known that this car was unsafe.”

"Okay," Li You said firmly, "Since the Emperor's Heart Sect has surrendered, let's change places."

"Don't stop, sweep all the security forces in Seoul, and kill anyone who gets in your way."

"Yes, President."

He opened the window, and Zheng Taixi, who was standing outside the car, came over and asked, "How is it? Any new clues?"

"We found the car," Li You waved his hand, "but it seems the owner has been victimized. Do you want to go over?"

Zheng Taixi glanced at the hospital hesitantly, but nodded. "Since there is a victim, I'll leave this to President Li."

He started his car and drove to the address Li You gave him.

As night falls, the white walls of the hospital look particularly desolate under the light, and a few dim lights shine through the windows of the duty room.

In front of the hospital, most of the row of parking spaces were empty, with only Li You's car left.

Just at this moment, the whistling sound of the wind began to accelerate, and the fallen leaves were chased and swirled in the wind.

A sudden muffled thunder came from afar. The sound was low and powerful, waking up Yin Xuanyou who was a little sleepy.

"President," Yoon Hyunwoo looked at the energetic Li You, "Why don't you take a rest for a while and I'll just keep an eye on it."

Li You waved his hand. He was here to get the reward for the task, otherwise he could just leave.

A flash of lightning like a silver snake streaked across the sky, followed by a roar of thunder that seemed to make people's hearts jump out.

Then the first drop of rain fell, and then thousands and thousands of drops came pouring down.

"This rainy night is perfect for killing people."

Yin Xuanyou was stunned, not knowing how to respond to Li You's words. Speaking of killing, he really couldn't think of anything.

In the ward upstairs, Zhang Dongxiu closed the curtains and waved his hands in annoyance, "Shit, it's raining again."

"President, you take a rest first." Minzhe lowered his head, "We will deploy personnel around to prevent that madman from coming."

Zhang Dongxiu raised his arm and pulled the wound on his chest. He quickly put it down without saying anything cruel. He glanced at the drip and said, "How many more fights like this do I have to have?"

"President," Minzhe said helplessly, "The wound to your stomach wasn't serious, but the wound to your chest almost hit your heart, and you lost too much blood that night."

"I've asked the doctor, and these medicines and nutrient solutions will need to be infused for at least three days."

"Will there be more later?" Zhang Dongxiu lay on the bed and touched the other side of his chest muscle with his hand.

"There should be two more bottles of medicine," Minzhe thought for a moment, "I'll go urge the nurse."

"Okay, get out."

In the car, rain poured down from the sky and hit the windshield. The sound of rain echoed in the car, noisy and rhythmic. The rain flowed down the glass, forming clear traces, but was quickly covered by new raindrops, blurring the vision.

Yoon Hyun-woo turned on the heater. The rain in November was getting colder and colder. The faint warmth in the car contrasted with the cold rain outside.

The hospital not far away was looming in the rain, with occasional flashes of lightning followed by rumbling thunder.

Li You's eyesight is much better than that of the nearsighted Yoon Hyun-woo, and he saw the figure through the heavy rain.

The man walked quickly, wrapped in a raincoat, splashing water with every step. He lingered by the window and finally decided on one.

"Xuanyou, look at where the eleventh window is."

Yoon Hyunwoo looked at the thumbnail of the hospital in his hand and raised his head. "It should be the warehouse where the nurses keep the common medicines."

"Is the monitoring room arranged?" Li You slowly put on black leather gloves.

"I've arranged it, President."

If it happened in other places, there would be no need to be on guard against surveillance, but the owner of this hospital is indeed rigorous enough.

Yin Xuan got off the car first, held up a black umbrella, and handed it to Li You who got off the car.

After getting out of the car, Li You smoothed the wrinkles of his coat, took the umbrella and strode towards the hospital entrance.
