Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 188 Li Wei takes over
The air in the conference room seemed to freeze, and heavy silence enveloped every inch of space.

The Jiangnan Security team members moved quickly and steadily. Their fingers quickly tied knots on the bag, and every pull seemed to cut through the tranquility around them.

The bag of items, which had lost its life weight, was silently moved out of the meeting room.

Li You's face remained calm, as if the order he had just given, which involved lives, was just a part of his daily work.

Li You's voice suddenly sounded in the silence, and his words revealed an unquestionable determination.

He looked around at Li Zhongjiu's men, his eyes as sharp as a knife: "The previous rules were set by Li Zhongjiu, but now they are all invalid. From now on, I will follow my rules."

Li You looked at Li Zhongjiu's men expressionlessly, "In view of what happened just now, you will be small leaders from now on, and the new leader will be re-appointed by the Kinmen Group."

Those former capable men of Li Zhongjiu could only accept the new titles and become small leaders. Those who refused to obey would be put into the bag and lie down.

It was clear that they were going to seize power. Director Cui, who was the person Lee Jong-gu trusted the most, could not hold back. Wasn't this like inviting a wolf into the house?
He stood in the spacious conference room, his heart beating as if it was about to jump out of his chest, his fingers unconsciously clenched into fists. Director Cui felt that he was a well-known figure in the Kinmen Group after all, so it shouldn't be a problem if he spoke out?
Director Cui, who was undecided, was called by Li You, "Director Cui, if you have something to say, just say it."

Li You's voice was calm, but it made the atmosphere in the entire conference room even more tense.

Director Cui forced a smile, but that smile was uglier than crying.

"President Nim," Director Cui said with a wry smile, "Isn't this a bit too..."

After all, as long as Shi Dong is there, Li Zhongjiu will always have a place in the Kinmen Group.

If he doesn't say it now, Li Zhongjiu won't be able to deal with Li You, but he will definitely skin him alive, right?

"Do you have any objections?" Li You looked over there, with a barely perceptible hint of teasing in his eyes.

Seeing the Jiangnan security guards all looking at him, Director Cui felt a chill run down his spine. The thoughts surging in his mind were suppressed at once. He lowered his head quietly and said, "No problem, President Nim."

"I think you have a problem, Director Choi."

Director Cui felt suffocated and realized that he had misunderstood. He waved his hands hastily, trying to ease the atmosphere: "No, no, President Nim, that's not what I meant."

Li You stared at him and suddenly laughed, then waved his hand, "Let Director Cui blow the wind."

It was still Cui Douri who took action. He led his men forward, held down the thin Director Cui, and dragged him to the window.

It was windy and rainy, with heavy rain pouring down. The raindrops hit the windows, making a dense sound, like countless beads bouncing.

After opening the window, the howling wind sounded, mixed with the heavy rain hitting Director Choi’s face, “Chairman nim, Chairman nim”

Director Cui's cries sounded weak and powerless, his fingers tightly grasped the window sill, his fingertips turned white, and his hands were shaking.

Several people lifted him up and pushed half of his body out of the window.

Director Cui's body was mercilessly pushed out of the window. His face was as pale as paper, and the fear in his eyes seemed to be dripping with water. He was so scared that his body kept shaking. "President nim, I know I was wrong, President nim!"

In just a dozen seconds, Director Cui's clothes were soaked by the rain. His thin body swayed in the wind, and he could be swept away by the merciless wind and rain at any time.

Outside, Li Zhongjiu's men squeezed back into the van. They heard the sound and looked around and found Director Cui at the edge of the window.

The building was not too tall. A man covered his eyebrows with his hands and tried hard to see who was half showing his body from the window.

"Is that Director Cui?"

"It should be," the person next to him wiped the water off his head, "It seems like he was pushed out from inside."

"I've heard of President Li before, but I didn't expect his work style to be just like the rumors say."

"You know shit," a fat man in the back seat looked at the window with admiration, "We are lucky to be able to work for Chairman Li. Do you know how well he treats us?"

"."

After letting Director Cui enjoy the fresh air for a while, the atmosphere in the conference room became so tense that the air almost froze. Suddenly, an inharmonious sound of rain broke the silence.

There was a rustling sound, and a strange smell filled the conference room.

Liquid flowed out of Director Cui's trouser legs and hung between his legs in the room. The liquids merged together to make the smell even stronger. It was obvious that he was frightened to pee.

Li You then waved his hand, and Choi Doo-il ruthlessly pulled Director Choi's upper body back from the open window and threw him onto the wet evidence without mercy.

A trace of fear flashed in Director Cui's eyes. He wanted to stand up, but his legs felt weak due to excessive fear.

He made a whimpering sound in his throat, and really cried. Rain, tears and snot mixed together on his face and flowed down his cheeks. His butt touched the warm and smelly ground, and the humiliation and fear in his heart reached its peak.

The entire conference room fell into deathly silence, with only the sound of Director Cui crying and the sound of wind and rain outside.

"Of course, what Director Cui said makes sense," Li You looked at them with a smile, and his tone became gentle, "It's indeed a bit too much. I also know that you are very unhappy about being removed from your positions."

"I just don't dare to say it. If it were me, I would do the same." He leaned on the sofa, "I will give you a chance. If you work hard, you will have the priority to be promoted to the leader. After all, you have seniority."

Li You's gaze swept across everyone present, penetrating their hearts and seeing their unwilling yet slightly shaken emotions.

The lights in the conference room were bright, and the white light made everyone's face clearer.

The leaders had complicated expressions, a mixture of reluctance and anticipation. After all, they had just been beaten three times, and now Li You had to give them some dates to taste.

On the sofa, the texture of the leather and the faint fragrance added a subtle sense of comfort to the tense atmosphere.

Li You leaned back slightly, this seemingly relaxed posture actually revealed a kind of confidence that he was in control of everything. "What do you think?"

The leaders nodded quickly, and no one had any objections.

"What do you think, Director Cui?"

Director Cui just huddled on the ground and nodded.

Li You nodded with satisfaction. He patted Cui Douri on the shoulder and said, "You stay here and start right away. Report to me after you take over."

"Yes, President Nim."

Li You left the meeting room with steady steps. The Jiangnan security staff who were carrying guns behind him put away their guns and followed him silently, forming an aura that could not be ignored.

Li You and his men walked out of the building's gate leisurely, and they were greeted by a team of prosecutors who were about to step over the threshold.

When they saw someone coming out, the prosecutors' professional instinct made them subconsciously reach for the documents on their chests, but when their eyes fell on Li You's face, their hands stopped unconsciously.

They recognized this Li You, and their eyes met at this moment, and the atmosphere became tense.

Li You stopped in front of them, with a polite yet slightly teasing smile on his face, "What are you doing here today, prosecutors?"

Faced with this sudden question, the prosecutors showed complicated expressions on their faces. Some of them wanted to answer but hesitated for some reason.

The leading prosecutor looked at Li You and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "We received an investigation mission from our superiors, so we came here to ask some of Li Zhongjiu's subordinates to assist in the investigation."

The prosecutor's words were somewhat intriguing. Li You glanced at the agency on the certificate. No wonder it looked familiar. It turned out that they were from the Southern District Procuratorate.

"Why are the Southern District Prosecutors here?" Li You laughed, "I remember that Li Zhongjiu's case was handed over to the Central District Prosecutors, right?"

The prosecutor shook his head: "This is an internal matter, it is not convenient to tell Chairman Li nim."

Li You smiled and waved his hand: "Since it is an internal matter, I won't ask too much, but I must know the reason, right?"

"After all, you want someone under Li Zhongjiu to assist in the investigation," Li You looked at the name on his ID, "Minister Song of the Southern District Prosecutor's Office, but there are no people under Li Zhongjiu here, what should we do?"

"This is Li Zhongjiu's property," Minister Song frowned, "Chairman Li, please don't embarrass us."

"I told you," Li You narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "There are only my industry and my employees here now."

Li You took out his cell phone and called Cho Chang-sik, the current senior prosecutor of the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office, in front of him.

"Chief Prosecutor Zhao, have you, the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors Office, also investigated me?"

"Did they find out about President Li?"

Zhao Changzhi was stunned for a moment, then he touched his head and said, "The prosecutor does not need to apply to me for an investigation. Who is it?"

"Seoul Southern District Prosecutors Office," Lee You read the name on the prosecutor's ID in front of him, "Chief Prosecutor Song Changren of the Criminal Division III."

"It's him." Zhao Changzhi paused for two seconds. "This Song Changren is probably on the list of a high-ranking official in the Central District Procuratorate. He wants to jump to the Central District Procuratorate through this incident."

"President Li, just give him the phone and I'll handle it."

Li You put the phone in the hands of a Jiangnan security employee, who passed it to Song Changren.

As soon as Song Changren answered the call, the phone in his hand began to convey the anger from afar, and Zhao Changzhi's cursing voice reached his ears.

Song Changren put the phone farther away with an expressionless face, his eyes still looking at Li You. He continued listening only after Zhao Changzhi stopped swearing.

After being scolded by Zhao Changzhi, Song Changren put the phone back into the hands of the Gangnam security personnel and watched the phone being returned to Li You.

He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to suck all the unhappiness into his lungs, and then expel them all out of his body with his exhalation.

Song Changren looked at Li You who refused to give in, and after hesitating for a while, he chose to give in, "Sorry to bother you, Chairman Li."

Song Changren bowed slightly, turned around and led his men out of the door and left.

Li You looked at his back with cold eyes. Although he was watching Song Changren leaving, his mind was rapidly calculating.

If I had not chosen to take action today, I am afraid that the leaders of these gray industries would have been taken away, which would have dealt a further blow to the Kinmen Group.

This speed is not right. According to common sense, the Procuratorate would only choose to do this if it had gained something from Li Zhongjiu or if it really couldn't get anything out of him.

But Li Zhongjiu was arrested so recently that the prosecutor probably hasn't even finished the interrogation. It seems that Li Zhongjiu took the initiative to speak.

If Li Zhongjiu joins forces with those who want to control the Kinmen Group, it will be a good move in dealing with Li You's forces.

But at the same time, it is also a bad move, a bad move that will hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt yourself by ten thousand, and will also destroy Li Zhongjiu's own industry.

With Li Zhongjiu's ability, he might indeed be able to notice something.

"Go tell Choi Do-il what's going on here," Li You narrowed his eyes and asked the person next to him to come over, "and tell him to get ready."

"Yes, President Nim."
