Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 205 Undercurrent
After Chen Dongji left, Chen Daojun said quietly, "As soon as they leave, Vice President Chen Rongji will go crazy."

"The real way to provoke a war is not to stand on someone's side," Li You clapped his hands gently, "but to make these people who are unwilling to submit to each other become evenly matched in strength."

"The more these people who are unwilling to unite as one, the longer the war will last."

In the classical and quiet study of Chen Jiazhengxinzhai, Chen Yangzhe's wife Li Biyu, wearing traditional Korean clothes, was sitting comfortably in the position where Chen Yangzhe used to sit, feeling the taste of power.

This was one of the few times in decades that she experienced this feeling, and she couldn't stop.

"Mom," Chen Rongji walked in here. This was his second time here tonight. Just a few hours ago, they had just discussed a shocking incident here that was spread out.

Now he came for the second time. Seeing Li Biyu sitting in Chen Yangzhe's seat and refusing to move, Chen Rongji was not without opinions in his heart, but he could do nothing about it. After all, at this moment, he still needed the help of Li Biyu.

"Dongji and Huarong met with Daojun." Chen Rongji sighed, "Daojun even brought Li You from the Kinmen Group."

"Li You?" Li Biyu frowned slightly and picked a more unfamiliar name first, "Is he the one who repeatedly provoked Xingjun?"

She snorted coldly, with disdain flashing in her eyes, "He is just a whitewashed vice president of the Kinmen, and he took the initiative to get involved in these things. He doesn't know how to die. You don't have to care about him."

Suddenly, Li Biyu thought of something else, "Didn't he join the Jeonju Li Clan a few days ago? I'll call Chairman Li Zeyi of the Lihua Club and ask him to give this Li You a lesson."

Chen Rongji knew very well about the grudge between Chen Xingjun and Li You. After all, it was always his own child who started the trouble first. Although he wanted to correct Li Biyu about Chen Xingjun, he still didn't say a word.

He knew that Chen Xingjun was spoiled like this partly because of Li Biyu.

Chen Rongji felt in his heart that if Chen Xingjun could have half of Li You's ability, the matter of inheriting Shunyang would not have encountered so many twists and turns.

He thinks he has good abilities, and Chen Yangzhe used to feel guilty about him. The reason why Chen Yangzhe hesitated is his poor health. In addition, there is the disappointing Chen Xingjun.

But at this moment, Chen Rongji could only nod silently, then gathered his thoughts and asked his mother what she thought of Chen Dongji and the other two. "Mom, what do you think of Dongji and the other two?"

When Chen Rongji asked this question, Li Biyu, who always kept his thoughts very secret, was stunned for a moment, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face.

Li Biyu was not born into a high-class family. Although she was now listed as a member of the Jeonju Li family, she was originally just a peasant woman. Her past life as a peasant woman made her desire for power particularly deep.

She had been a docile wife beside Chen Yangzhe for decades. In the study room which was the center of power, whenever something big happened, Chen Yangzhe never let Li Biyu in to listen.

Over the years, Li Bi Yu has not learned any skills in managing a group, but his acting skills and scheming have been honed.

She could have endured it all the time, and it wouldn't have mattered even if Chen Yangzhe welcomed back the illegitimate child's family.

Li Bi Yu just wanted to wait until the day when she could become famous as a mother because of her son. She wanted to be the mother of the chairman of Shunyang Group.

But Chen Yangzhe didn't even give her this opportunity and actually wanted to pass the group to his illegitimate son. Naturally, she was unwilling to do that.

But the question asked by Chen Rongji now made her feel a little embarrassed, because Chen Dongji and Chen Huarong were also her children, and it seemed that it didn't matter to her who would inherit Shunyang.

Li Biyu wanted to be vague, but she hesitated. Chen Rongji saw it from her face. He quietly changed the subject and asked tentatively, "Or you can see how Daojun should deal with it?"

She couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart, thinking that her eldest son had good vision.

"You said before that this illegitimate son will go to the press conference with your father?" Li Biyu's face was cold and vicious. "Is the news true?"

Chen Rongji nodded, "It's true."

He did not hesitate and directly revealed the source of the news, "It was Director Li who passed the news to me."

Li Biyu nodded with satisfaction, "My efforts were not wasted. After all, I am considered an elder of the Li family in Quanzhou."

Chen Rongji bent down and said, "What about the two of them?"

He wanted Li Bi Yu to make up his mind, anyway, these words couldn't come out of his mouth.

"Then do it more decisively," Li Biyu was not wary of his eldest son, who had always been the most obedient one, "You stay here first."

Li Bi Yu went out of the study and came back quickly, holding a framed painting in his hands, and he looked like he was having a hard time holding it.

"This painting came from Mou Xianmin's gallery. It is a circulating hard currency and can be used as cash."

"If she doesn't want to be my granddaughter-in-law, don't blame me for doing it."

Li Biyu smiled sinisterly, "I haven't lived in vain all these years. Although the town where I came from is small, there are some organizations that Seoul doesn't have. I'll use this as a deposit."

When Li You returned home from the teahouse, he received a call from Li Zeyi. Li You raised his wrist and took a look. He felt a little strange. At this time, according to Li Zeyi's sleep schedule at this age, he should have gone to bed. "Chairman Nim?"

"Well, Li You," Li Zeyi's voice was a little tired, as if he had just woken up from a dream, "It's so late, I hope I didn't disturb you?"

"No," Li You sat on the sofa and asked with frowned eyebrows, "Chairman Nim, why haven't you rested yet so late?"

"It was Shunyang who called me," Li Zeyi said directly, "Have you offended Shunyang recently?"

"Shun Yang?" Li You raised his eyebrows. "Can you tell me who called you?"

Li Zeyi did not hesitate for long, "Li Biyu is of the same generation as me."

He was afraid that Li You didn't know who this was, so he took the initiative to explain, "Li Biyu is Chen Yangzhe's wife. Not long after Chen Yangzhe became rich, she used her connections to enter the Quanzhou Li family."

Li You understood, "She asked you to hit me?"

"Yes," Li Zeyi sighed slightly and complained to Li You: "The tone is not good, which is completely different from the attitude you used to have when you talked to me."

"An old woman who is respectful at first but arrogant later."

Obviously, Li Zeyi was not only woken up, but also attacked by Li Biyu. He said irritably, "She asked me to beat you up. Don't interfere in Shunyang's affairs, or I'll make things difficult for you."

Li You burst out laughing and said sarcastically: "It seems that she thinks she is the one who calls the shots in Shunyang, but has she forgotten that Chairman Chen Yangzhe is still alive?"

"Chen Yangzhe is going to die?" Li Zeyi suddenly woke up from the sleepiness on the other end of the phone and was shocked by the meaning revealed in Li You's words. "Where did you get the news?"

"I got involved in Shunyang's inheritance because Chen Yangzhe took the initiative to drag me into it," Li You calmly attributed the reason to Chen Yangzhe, "He wanted me to help his grandson Chen Daojun, who is also my friend now."

"If that's the case," Li Zeyi sighed twice, "then don't worry about that old woman, just do it. A peasant woman without a husband really thinks she's so great."

"Chen Yangzhe is not a simple person," Li Zeyi reminded, "Don't be cheated by him. At that time, one of his partners was from our Quanzhou Li Group, and he was severely cheated by him, and he never got back on his feet."

His words were full of admiration and vigilance for Chen Yangzhe, but Li You caught another noteworthy point.

"Partner?" Li You was a little surprised. "Can I ask his name?"

"Should his name be Lee Byung-chul?" Li Zeyi coughed, "He's also a top student. It's said that the concept of Shunyang Group was proposed by him."

"At the time, Chen Yangzhe was his deputy. Unfortunately, he was badly betrayed by Chen Yangzhe. After this incident, he aged very quickly and passed away due to illness more than 20 years ago."

Li You coughed twice and finally understood where this inexplicable sense of familiarity came from.

He sighed at his fate, then nodded, "I'll pay attention, you should get some rest early."

After hanging up the phone, Li You narrowed his eyes slightly.

Li Bi Yu, this old woman is really tired of living.

Thinking that on the day of the press conference, the old woman would most likely hire someone to assassinate Chen Yangzhe and Chen Daojun, Li You called Zheng Zaizhong and asked them to keep an eye on these two people and not let them die prematurely.

If it weren't for the old woman Li Biyu who had stayed in Zhengxinzhai for who knows how many years and never came out, Li You's next call would definitely be to Quan Zaijun, asking him to kill Li Biyu.

Now Li Biyu is hiding inside and won't come out. As the power center of the chaebol Shunyang Chen family, the defense strength there can be imagined.

The current strength is not enough to rush in and kill her openly.

Two days later, on the day of the press conference concerning Shunyang's fate, Chen Yangzhe used a special medicine.

Different from those drugs that stabilize the condition, this special drug is a brain-stimulating drug that will keep Chen Yangzhe awake for quite a long time, but he will have even less time left afterwards.

Chen Yangzhe's hair was dyed back to black by Director Li himself, and after applying oil, the familiar color and luster returned to his head.

He adjusted his clothes in front of the mirror. Every detail of his straight suit was impeccable. Chen Yangzhe seemed to see his healthy self in the past again.

Chen Yangzhe looked in the mirror, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, including determination and reluctance.

He turned around and frowned, his expression no different from before.

"Director Li," he straightened his back and looked at Li Mingyi standing aside, "it's time for us to go."
