Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 182 Li Zhongjiu was arrested

At dawn in the early morning, on the road outside Lishui city, Jin Jiunan's hands and feet, this hateful and pathetic man, were roughly tied up and ruthlessly stuffed into the trunk of a car like a stray dog.

Jin Jiunan was unable to escape from the clutches of Yanbian F4. After all, as a killer from Yanbian, Jin Jiunan was still very inexperienced.

The truck was abandoned alone on the deserted roadside. Its fuel tank had long been dried up and now only an empty shell remained.

The oil barrels in Lao Mao and his men's hands were heavy, with gasoline swaying in them, making hushing sounds.

This was the gasoline they had prepared to bring with them so that they could quickly and easily destroy some of the things on the truck.

The three men approached the white truck, opened the oil barrel, and gasoline poured out, dripping.

Wang Wu took a match and rubbed it lightly on the matchbox. Sparks flew with a hissing sound. After Lao Mao and his men retreated, he threw the match onto the gasoline and ignited the gasoline that had been prepared for burning.

The flames began to quickly devour the white truck, and the dancing flames illuminated the cold faces of Lao Mao and the others.

The metal shell of the truck expanded and twisted under the high temperature, making a creaking sound.

Thick smoke billowed, a pungent smell spread everywhere, crackling sounds rang out in the night sky, and gasoline was reveling in the fire.

The skinny guy stood a little further away. He joked softly, "Actually, lighters are more stylish."

Wang Wu slapped him on the back of the head, "Why are you so troublesome!"

He got in the back seat and said, "I'll be driving tonight, you choose one person to drive back."

Quan Zaijun was a little late. When Wang Wu and his men drove to the smuggling dock they were responsible for cleaning up, the melee had just ended.

The car lights illuminated the dock clearly. Quan Zaijun was standing in front of the car, looking at the subordinates he brought with him. They were finishing off those who were stabbed one by one.

"Minister Nim," after cleaning up the scene, an employee strode over to report, "It is confirmed that there are no survivors of this group of people."

Quan Zaijun glanced at his watch and looked OK. "I finally got a chance. Have those new guys made up for it?"

"It has been made up," the employee lowered his head, "and all the new recruits have been executed personally."

Jeon Jae-jun is very strict with the new recruits. This strictness is not in terms of physical requirements, but psychologically. They have to see blood at least a few times before they can get rid of the label of fledglings.

"Very good," Quan Jae-jun waved his hand, motioning him to go down, and he took out his phone to report to Li You.

Li You's voice came out, "Is it resolved?"

"Yes, President-nim," Jeon Jae-jun answered the question, "I also got the number, but I didn't keep any of the people. Is that okay?"

"It's okay." Li You walked to the sofa in his living room in his pajamas, ready to finish his work before going to bed. The cream-colored wall light was projected on him.

Li You did not show much surprise that Quan Jae-jun killed the entire smuggling group in such a short time. Park Do-hyun was originally a group of ordinary people who gained some fame by spending many years at the dock.

"Go back and rest after you finish your work."

Li You answered Wang Wu's call after answering Quan Zaijun's call. After learning that they had done the job, he casually ordered Jin Jiunan to be locked up first.

After hanging up the phone with Quan Zaijun, Li You thought for a moment and dialed Ding Qing again.

It was obvious that Ding Qing had not slept all night either. He answered the phone quickly, his voice hoarse and anxious from staying up late: "Brother, is there any result?"

"I've already caught him," Li You said slowly with a barely perceptible smile on his face, "But Lao Ding, don't tell Jin Taiyuan from the logistics company yet. I have to use him as bait."

Ding Qing on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, "What bait?"

Ding Qing thought about it carefully, "Now that the person has been caught and there is no risk of him being exposed, you can do whatever you want to him."

"Tell him that we didn't catch him but we found out his background. He's a stowaway," Li You narrowed his eyes slightly. "He's a subordinate of Yanbian Mian Zhenghe."

There was a hint of indifference in Li You's eyes, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if he was thinking about his next move.

Mian Zhenghe's reach is so long that he controls almost all the secret passages leading to the Korean Peninsula, but if he can take over these smuggling points from the Korean Peninsula, it will undoubtedly be a huge increase.

Ding Qing thought for a moment and asked, "Are you trying to cause trouble for this Mian Zhenghe?"

Li You nodded. "He controls almost all the smuggling ports from Yanbian to the Korean Peninsula. What do you think? If we take down those smuggling points, will it be useful?"

Ding Qing frowned on the other end of the phone. "We can't rush to Yanbian in person, but will he come to Seoul in person?"

"We can't go to Yanbian ourselves, but we can try to make Mian Zhenghe suffer the consequences of his own actions."

"He will. I've checked his personality," Li You said calmly, "You can trick President Jin Taiyuan into finding someone to kill Mian Zhenghe. Then Mian Zhenghe will come to you on his own."

"Also," Li You said with a smile, "I destroyed a smuggling dock in Lishui. I'll have someone send you the location later. Even the smallest mosquito is still meat."

"I don't want it," Ding Qing refused on the other end of the phone. "I already owe you a favor, so I naturally can't ask you for more benefits. Just take over Mian Zhenghe and Lishui."

Ding Qing thought for a moment and said, "But don't do it yourself."

"I understand," Li You laughed, "Then wait until Mian Zhenghe dies. I won't kill Jin Jiunan yet. Remember to get more benefits from Jin Taiyuan."

"No problem," Ding Qing smiled, "I won't forget it when the time comes." After a while, Li You thought about who under his command could take over these smuggling points, and finally thought of a suitable candidate: Xu Zhonglie.

A few days ago, he expressed to Li You that he was not quite used to the job at Kinmen Real Estate and wanted to go to Jiangnan Security.

It was a bit difficult for Xu Zhonglie, who came from a humble background and only graduated from junior high school, to work in Kinmen Real Estate, but he was very suitable to lead his subordinates to manage some gray industries.

Li You called, and as he expected, Xu Zhonglie responded happily.

Except for Mian Zhenghe, everyone else was either caught or killed. Li You made all the arrangements and then threw his phone on the sofa.

It was just getting light in the sky and the curtains in the bedroom were drawn. After Li You lay back on the bed, Mou Xianmin squinted her eyes, silently shrank into Li You's arms, and found a comfortable position to curl up.

It would take some time for the "Yellow Sea" task to be completed after Mian Zhenghe arrived, but a week later, something happened to the Kinmen Group.

Inside the Kinmen Real Estate Building, documents were piled up on Li You’s office desk, and the sound of the pen scratching on the paper suddenly stopped.

Li You's eyes were like lightning, as if he wanted to penetrate An Sangjiu, "Li Zhongjiu was arrested?"

"Yes," An Shangjiu reported with his head down, "Just now, the police sent someone with a search warrant to take Li Zhongjiu away from his home, and a prosecutor came to Kinmen Group to search his office."

Li You tapped the table lightly with his fingers. The arrest of Li Zhongjiu would be like a drop of water falling into a calm lake, causing ripples, which would undoubtedly sound the alarm for many people in Kinmen.

Li You narrowed his eyes. He was actually a little surprised because this was the result of his discussion with Li Zicheng, but the target should have been Ding Qing.

He met with Ding Qing and Li Zicheng a few days ago and decided to pass some false information that looked real to Section Chief Jiang and the prosecutor behind him through Li Zicheng, Shi Wu and Qian Xinyu.

The purpose is to speed up the progress of the prosecution and the police, allowing them to take action in advance, and then follow the clues to dig out all the people in this line.

Most of the information they provided was false information about Kinmen trade, so even if Ding Qing was imprisoned, nothing would happen to him.

However, they did not expect that their first target was not Ding Qing, but Li Zhongjiu.

An Shangjiu's voice sounded again, breaking the silence, "President Nim, should we make any preparations?"

He immediately put down the pen in his hand, dropped the work in his hands, and went to the headquarters of Kinmen Group. An Shangjiu followed closely behind him, his steps quick and heavy. Their footsteps echoed on the marble floor of the Kinmen Group headquarters.

There was already a tense atmosphere in the Kinmen Group building. Anyone would panic if their group's executive director was taken away.

At this time, Ding Qing also dropped his work, brought Li Zicheng here, and got on the same elevator with Li You.

"This situation is not good." The elevator door slowly closed. Ding Qing's face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed. "Could it be that Li Zhongjiu and the prosecutor above Shi Wu have teamed up?"

Li You was silent for a moment, his eyes deep as he pieced together the complicated situation before him.

"We cannot rule out the possibility that Li Zhongjiu and the prosecutor above Shi Wu have indeed joined forces." Li You nodded, "We still have to see what Chairman Shi says."

Of course they had to test Shi Dongchu first. After all, solving the undercover issue was inseparable from the chairman of the Kinmen Group.

Ding Qing snorted lightly, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "He's an old fox, let's see what he says."

Li You and Ding Qing stepped into Shi Dongchu's office. The atmosphere was as heavy as the frozen dark night.

Shi Dongchu's face was like the dark clouds in late autumn, depressed and gloomy. He held the mobile phone in his hand, and every word he said seemed to carry weight, with a hint of anger mixed in with his politeness.

The person on the other end of the phone might have sounded a little soothing, but to Shi Dongchu it sounded more like harsh sarcasm.

"Well, thank you, Vice Minister Park," Shi Dongchu nodded, "Okay"

His brows were furrowed, but there was a forced smile on the corners of his mouth. Until the phone was hung up, the disguised politeness immediately collapsed.

After finishing the call, he ignored Li You and Ding Qing in front of him and threw the phone away fiercely. The phone drew a short and sharp arc in the air and fell heavily on the hard floor, making a sharp cracking sound.

"Xiba!"

Shi Dongchu panted heavily, and after calming down a little, he looked at the two people, "This is a joint action by the prosecutors and the police, and it has become a big deal. We can't release him through private procedures."

After a moment, Shi Dongchu calmed down his breath, withdrew his gaze from the gray sky outside the window, and fell on Li You and Ding Qing, revealing a hint of complex emotions in his eyes.

“We have to meet their challenges openly.”

Li You and Ding Qing looked at each other. They could feel the urgency in Shi Dongchu's words and the huge pressure behind his words.

"What's going on?" Ding Qing sat on the sofa and looked at Shi Dongchu.

"There is a traitor," Shi Dongchu said gloomily, "his men must have been undercover agents lurking in the police a long time ago."

He shook his head anxiously. "Zhong Jiu was provoked by some of my words a few days ago, and secretly expanded his gray business too much. But just as he expanded the scale, he was taken away."

"There are many charges, including organizing a violent society, illegal business operations, tax evasion, and violence."

"But we can't just see this." Shi Dongchu shook his head.

"Since there is an undercover agent, it is impossible that he is the only one who has one." Li You glanced at Ding Qing, "I suspect that the entire Kinmen has been infiltrated."
