Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 22 Beating
Li You saw Park Junmo again in the office. He was sleeping soundly on the sofa. Next to him was Zheng Qitie sitting on the leopard print sofa. He was also drunk and leaned back on the sofa with hazy eyes.

Xu Zhonglie was smoking quietly by the window. When he saw Li You coming over, he raised his hand and threw him a cigarette box and lighter, and the two of them started puffing smoke.

"I'm not from Jiangnan either." He suddenly said something without a beginning or an end, causing Li You to stop what he was doing. "What do you think?"

"Neither are you, nor Chenghao." Xu Zhonglie said calmly, "There are only three of us. What kind of treatment do you get as team leader Jiangnan?"

He counted the gains of those people, "Park Jae-hoon manages the most popular KTV in Yeoksam-dong, Choi Kwang-ryul is the president of the nightclub at the end of Nonhyeon-dong, Chen Kyu-hyun owns a game hall, and Jin Jin also has a small nightclub and a bar, not to mention the three veterans."

Youyou glanced at Zheng Qitie and said, "And those team leaders, they are in charge of all the massage parlors and hair salons on the street, and they also get a share of the profits."

"What about us?" Although Xu Zhonglie had not been involved in the gang's affairs for a long time, it did not mean that he knew nothing. "We do get the same salary as the team leader, but we don't get any share. We still work the hardest."

"Can your boxing gym make money?" Xu Zhonglie sneered. "Those Busan guys you brought with you are either low-level thugs or have already quit their clubs. This is Gangnam after all."

After finishing his cigarette, he threw away the cigarette butt and said, "The three representatives in Jiangnan Industry have always had their own way of making money. What do you think?" After that, he left the window and walked towards the sofa.

Li You watched in silence as he helped the unconscious Zheng Qitie back to the room, and he grabbed Park Junmo's shoulders, but Park Junmo grabbed his hand in return.

"Li You," a layer of pain climbed up in Park Junmo's eyes, and his pupils were shining, "Shit." He was not drunk this time, or he didn't dare to get drunk, and the pain had been suppressed in his heart.

As Li You knew, his family was like this: his father was a drug addict, and his mother didn't want to even look at them after she remarried. Apart from his mother-in-law and his wife, the only people close to him were Li You and Shi Daoheng. Now his mother-in-law had passed away, and she was the only elder who treated him well.

Park Junmo tried hard to suppress the pain and said, "I tried to ask Zheng Qitie."

“Stop talking for now, Junmo,” Lee Yoo shoved the phone that Park Junmo had dropped on the ground into his hand, “Go call Yijeong.”

"That's right." Park Junmo got up from the sofa, "Yizhen."

Li You watched him stumble toward the rooftop terrace and followed slowly behind him to prevent anyone from seeing him.

The phone call lasted for a long time, and from time to time the sound of Park Junmo crying could be heard. Li You sighed, with an incomprehensible emotion in his eyes.

"Brother," several men put down their sports equipment and waited for Li You to come over. Long Da was already waiting for him in the rest area. Li You motioned Long Da to sit down, "What have you found in the past few days?"

Long Da looked into Li You's eyes, but his dark pupils were still calm. He swallowed and turned his head to make sure no one was around. "There are a lot of gangsters in Yisandong recently. I've never seen them before." Seeing Li You take out a cigarette, he quickly took out his lighter and went forward to light it for Li You. Then he continued, "They don't cause any trouble. They just wander around the street."

There was a hint of inquiry in his eyes, "Brother, has Jiangnan Industry offended anyone recently? Or is it...about to start a war?"

Li You smiled, "What do you think?"

"I think so." Long Da rubbed his hands together, "Does everyone have to go?"

"Don't worry," Li You stood up and took off his coat, revealing exaggerated muscles on his arms, but they were not the kind of thick muscles that a bodybuilder has. His arms were perfectly proportioned with his upper body. "You go and do your work first, and don't tell anyone else about this." After Long Da agreed, he watched Li You go to his own separate training area to exercise. He touched his round belly, shook his head, and walked out slowly.

Li You punched the sandbag in front of him with his fists left and right. Every time he punched, the sandbag would make a dull sound. He was thinking about other things, "What are you waiting for to build another gang?"

He was already impatient to carry out the next plan. He felt unhappy living under someone else's roof for more than one day, and he didn't even have time to go out and relax.

Since returning to Seoul, I have been locked in Gangnam most of the time and have never been to other places. Gangnam District is not yet the Gangnam that will be developed into a wealthy area in the future, otherwise it would not be the turn of Gangnam Industry to settle here.

"How many days do you want to rest?" Zheng Qitie's eyes flickered several times, and he lowered his eyelids and thought for a while, "In a few days, we may have to go out recently."

Li You kept his head down, so Zheng Qitie couldn't see him. His eyes suddenly lit up, "How long will it take? It's really boring to be in Jiangnan recently."

Zheng Qitie looked at Li You meaningfully, "Normally it will take about two days. We can give you a day off when we come back."

"Do you want me and Brother Xu to follow you?" Li You pretended to be curious, "Are you going fishing?"

"You know?" Zheng Qitie's expression remained unchanged. "It seems that you should have heard them talk about it. Fishing is a regular activity for the three of us. It is convenient for us to communicate. Normally, you don't have to go."

He pointed to two photos on the wall behind him. One was a photo of him, Choi Jung-bae and Hong Xicheng holding fishing rods at the seaside, and the other was a photo of the three of them on a boat, but there was no information about the boat in that photo.

"Okay," Li You looked up at the two photos, "I'll wait for you to come back."

"Well," Zheng Qitie added casually, "Do you still remember that man that day? The one who--" He made a shooting gesture.

"Remember, what happened?" Li You's thoughts flowed, "Don't tell me he crawled out of the soil."

"Yeah," Zheng Qitie cursed with a smile, "Nothing, I heard he's a drug dealer."

Li You turned his head and said, "Drug dealer? Isn't that something only low-class people would do?"

Zheng Qitie smiled awkwardly and waved his hand without revealing any emotion. "I'm just letting you know that the person you killed was a criminal. We at Jiangnan Industry never take the initiative to provoke others."

Li You's face sank as he walked out, his eyes were cold and stern. Zheng Qitie was undoubtedly hitting him and reminding himself that he was a criminal.

He turned around and looked at Zheng Qitie in the office. He was now writing and drawing with his head down. According to Li You's observation that day, there seemed to be only that one handwritten document in the entire office.

"Urban development plan?" Li You sneered. He was still thinking about clearing his name and becoming a good man. Do you think you are Shi Dongchu?
Thinking of the force that now dominates almost the entire Seoul, Li You became more and more anxious. There are still a few years before the best time for the security company to transform. As for now, it is too early. The Korean economy has declined too much. He must take control of Jiangnan Industry as soon as possible to have some confidence.

This is the fastest way.
