Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 185: Tentacles Reaching Out to the Gray Industry

It was raining heavily outside the window, and the rain was pouring down like silver threads, shrouding the city in a haze.

Li You stood in front of the window, looking deeply at the Kinmen Group Building in the distance.

An Sang-jiu respectfully handed a shareholding contract to Li You. Kim Tae-won's name was clearly printed on the paper, like a clear footnote, announcing that Kim Tae-won would soon be completely controlled.

"President Nim, the equity contract has been signed and we just need to go to the notarization tomorrow." An Shangjiu's voice was soft, but with unquestionable certainty.

"Kim Tae-won is still waiting in the lobby."

"Send the contract to Taowu Delivery," Li You signed his name with sharp strokes, as if putting a firm end to Kim Tae-won's fate, "Leave the rest to Chen Daojun or Yin Xuanyou."

"What about Kim Tae-won?" An Sang-jiu asked, with a hint of worry in his tone.

"Just let him go home and wait patiently," Li You said calmly, with unquestionable authority in his tone, "Kinmen Real Estate has taken care of his affairs for him."

An Shangjiu nodded in understanding.

"Yes," An Sang-gu responded, "The people we bribed Li Zhongjiu have been dealt with by people under Minister Zheng Zaizhong."

Li You narrowed his eyes and nodded. Li Zhongjiu's arrogant face appeared in his mind, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"understood."

Kim Tae-won, the president of a logistics company who hired a killer to kill someone in "The Yellow Sea", will soon have his logistics company fall into the hands of Lee You and become an important piece of the puzzle in Lee You's expansion of his territory.

Another bank manager, Jin Dongxue, who hired a killer, and the middleman were also firmly in Li You's hands.

Just wait for Quan Zaijun to go to Jialifengdong to deal with Mian Zhenghe, and Huang Hai’s mission will be completed.

Li You was soon the only one left in the office. He was still staring at the Kinmen Group building a few streets away with a deep gaze.

Shi Dongchu will definitely try his best to get Li Zhongjiu out, but it doesn't matter. He can't get him out because the evidence provided by the informant is too much and the crime is not a minor one.

The person that An Shangjiu just mentioned bribed Li Zhongjiu
In other words, the person who reported Li Zhongjiu was bribed by An Shangjiu. As for now, he probably is diving at the bottom of the Han River somewhere unknown.

Because Li You had enough evidence to send Li Zhongjiu to prison, he simply sent Li Zhongjiu to jail for a period of time.

The turmoil in the Kinmen Group was planned by Li You. He took the opportunity to help Li Zicheng solve the undercover file to send Li Zhongjiu to prison and completely control Kinmen Entertainment and Li Zhongjiu's gray industry.

Li You knew that Li Zhongjiu's imprisonment for a period of time would have a certain impact on the reputation of the Kinmen Group.

But he didn't care, because fame could be earned again, and what Li You gained was far more important than fame.

When Kinmen was merged, the gray industries under Jiangnan Industry were also transferred to Li Zhongjiu.

But that was only temporary. Kinmen was stable now and there would be no turmoil just because someone was in prison, so Li You sent Li Zhongjiu directly in.

Let's take the industry back first. He wants to see whether Shi Dongchu will spare the time to compete with him for the gray industry, or focus on Li Zhongjiu.

This time, he wanted to completely crush Li Zhongjiu's delusion and make him completely lose hope of turning things around.

By the time Li Zhongjiu comes out of prison, the task will be almost done and his life or death will be at our fingertips.

The phone rang, and Li Zicheng's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Section Chief Jiang wants me to sideline Lao Ding, and then seize Kinmen Entertainment, and use the power of Kinmen Entertainment and Kinmen Trade to become your opponent."

"Really?" Li You laughed sarcastically, his tone full of disdain, "That's a good idea, but it's just something I can only think about."

"Have you been to Qian Xinyu's place?"

The reason for asking this is that Li You asked Li Zicheng to deliver the next piece of evidence, which also belongs to Li Zhongjiu.

Li Zicheng had just stopped the car when the wind and rain raged and Seoul was shrouded in darkness.

Pedestrians on the street were hurrying to take shelter from the rain. Occasionally, a few people would stop in the shelter, observing the dark sky and the heavy rain.

"Not yet," Li Zicheng replied while sitting in the car, "We are downstairs at the chess academy. I will report to you after meeting Qian Xinyu."

"I have arranged for Quan Zaijun to take action after nightfall. You can let Shi Wu go there earlier." Li You's voice became cold and hard.

"It's better to prevent this kid from finding out. It would be bad if he runs away."

"Okay," Li Zicheng replied, his tone as concise and straightforward as ever.

He stuffed the hung up phone into his pocket and glanced out the window. The city was shrouded in darkness.

Li Zicheng silently picked up the umbrella on the passenger seat, closed his eyes, opened the car door, and walked towards the chess academy in the wind and rain.

His steps were steady, and each step made a dull sound on the wet street.

The wind carried the raindrops, which hit the umbrella mercilessly, making a rapid rhythm.

The chess academy was silent, with only the wind and rain lingering in front of the door, but Li Zicheng did not linger or hesitate.

Li You sat upright in a large office chair, his eyes sharp as a torch, his fingers tapping lightly on the documents in his hands.

In the document, he carefully examined Li Zhongjiu's industrial distribution map, and every stroke reflected the interweaving of power and money.

Those stores divided by gangs were once a symbol of Li Zhongjiu's power. Now Li You is thinking about how to arrange these store industries.

He sat calmly in his chair, but the Kinmen Group was not calm. Chaos was about to spread, especially among the industries under Li Zhongjiu. The relationships between the stores that were still divided according to the gang leaders were also becoming subtle.

Especially when the informant disappeared, Li Zhongjiu's men didn't know how many police officers were among them.

They don't know who the police undercover is, and they don't know if they will be the next to disappear.

The scene of their panic was exactly what Li You wanted to see.

The hunter standing on the wind's edge only needs to wait for the storm to fully form so that he can capture his prey in one fell swoop.

At the headquarters of the Kinmen Group, in the chairman's office on the top floor, the floor was covered with thick gold-thread carpets, and the air was filled with a faint smell of cigars. Shi Dongchu, who always took good care of his health, kept smoking a cigar.

The three ordinary directors under Li Zhongjiu gathered around Shi Dongchu's desk. Their three worried faces were frowned and they were complaining to Shi Dongchu, their words revealing deep worry.

"President Nim, some of my brothers have begun to doubt each other."

"We just watched Executive Li like this."

“We can’t just sit there and wait for death.”

The three people chattered non-stop, one after another, and it gave Shi Dongchu a headache.

His face was gloomy as he looked at the three people who slowly began to blame each other and quarrel.

"Shut up."

Shi Dongchu stared at them coldly, "So among the three of you, none of you can suppress those troublemakers after Zhong Jiu temporarily leaves his post?"

"We don't have the right," a short and plump director explained, "Manager Li is usually very diligent."

He paused for a moment, carefully choosing his words, trying not to sound like he was shirking responsibility, "We are just assisting in the work. After Li Changzhang was arrested, we have lost our core and are leaderless."

The people under Li Zhongjiu are extremely complex and their structure is also special. After all, they do not belong to a formal company.

Shi Dongchu was stunned for a moment, his cheeks trembling, and he tried his best to suppress his anger: "So you want me to take over and calm these people down?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the air in the room seemed to freeze. He remained silent, waiting for Shi Dongchu's next move. The other two also felt Shi Dongchu's anger.

"It's not necessary for the president to come in person, but someone of sufficient rank has to come," the thin director in the middle hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "If the president doesn't come in person, Vice President Li and Director Ding also have the ability to do so."

His voice echoed in the room, seeming somewhat empty.

His words caused a moment of silence among those present. Li Zhongjiu's absence cast a shadow on Kinmen's stability, and Ding Qing's investigation undoubtedly made the situation more tense.

"But now Director Ding has also been taken away for investigation, and Executive Li's relationship with the Vice President is too bad. I'm afraid the Vice President won't be willing to lend a hand."

"Vice President...will he help?" The director in the middle couldn't help but speak again, a hint of anxiety in his voice.

"The vice president's abilities are obvious to all, but..." Another voice sounded, but stopped abruptly in mid-air.

The director at the edge seemed to be weighing something, but in the end he just sighed and said nothing more.

When the thin director in the middle said this, Shi Dongchu suddenly came to his senses. Why was everything so coincidental?
He was startled and felt a chill rising up his spine. The seeds of doubt quickly took root and sprouted in his heart, but doubt was doubt. The problem still had to be solved.

Judging from the current situation, it is still unknown how long Ding Qing and Li Zhongjiu will have to stay in prison. Shi Dongchu made many phone calls and was told that the evidence was conclusive and there was no way to bail them out secretly.

Ding Qing was lucky enough to have trained Li Zicheng, who was able to stabilize the situation temporarily. However, Li Zhongjiu, who was competitive and proud, usually held all the power and had no intention of supporting helpers.

As the chairman of the association, Shi Dongchu cannot get involved in these dirty businesses, even though the profits and power represented by these industries are considerable.

Li You wants these industries?

Shi Dongchu frowned, he couldn't understand why. Li You's clean business was growing bigger and bigger, so he shouldn't want these shady businesses.
After thinking for a long time without figuring it out, Shi Dongchu opened his mobile phone. Li You's name flashed on the screen. He took a deep breath and pressed the call button.

Li You was still processing documents in the office. He put down his pen, glanced at his ringing cell phone, and a smile appeared on his face.

He picked up the phone, "President nim."

"Are you conducting an internal investigation?" Shi Dongchu sighed, "Is it not disturbing you?"

"No," Li You shook his head, "How is President Nim doing?"

Shi Dongchu's face froze, and he glanced at the three people in front of him who dared not say a word. "It's not going well. It's okay inside the Kinmen Group. I sent a lot of inspectors, but..."

Li You smiled calmly, but did not laugh out loud, "Is it something that happened to Li Zhongjiu?"

"Yes, it seems you have guessed it. The industries under his control are in a mess now," Shi Dongchu supported the table with his hands with a headache.

"Due to Zhongjiu's usual style of doing things and the high pressure within the industry, coupled with the emergence of a traitor, these industries are now leaderless and their people are panicking. Chaos has already begun."

“If someone with ulterior motives stirs up trouble again, Kinmen may be forced to lose these industries that can provide a large amount of cash flow.”

After Shi Dong finished speaking, Li You tapped the table with his fingers, counting the time. After a moment of silence, he spoke, "So it's inconvenient for President Nim to come in person, so I have to come. Is that right?"

"Yes," Shi Dongchu pursed his lips, his doubts slightly reduced, because Li You's tone did not sound very happy.

"President Nim, have you ever thought that although I am not afraid of someone reporting me, if this kind of business gets out, it will also ruin my reputation?"
