Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 246 Targeting
But before Chen Rongji could speak, the assistant outside said, "You can't."

The assistant stopped talking abruptly and looked at Chen Rongji with a horrified expression.

"I'm Park Tae-soo, the prosecutor of the Southern District Prosecutor's Office of Seoul." Park Tae-soo was doing such a big thing for the first time, and he felt a little happy for some reason. "Vice President Chen, please come with us."

He waved his hand, and the prosecutors behind him showed their IDs and search warrants, "Some of our colleagues have gone to Longfeng Real Estate to invite President Xian to the prosecutor's office."

"Longfeng?" Chen Rongji's pupils shrank. "What do you mean?"

"Vice President Chen should know what I mean," Park Tae-soo smiled. "According to the anti-corruption regulations, you are suspected of bribing President Ham of Longfeng Real Estate and illegally competing for a real estate project in Seoul."

"We have received concrete evidence. Please come with us to the Procuratorate for a cup of tea."

Chen Rongji frowned, "I need to make a call."

"No," Park Tae-soo said with an unchanged expression, "Because you are suspected of bribery, you are not allowed to contact the outside world during the investigation. If you need a lawyer, we will contact you later."

Chen Rongji stared at him and nodded slowly.

As the car was driving, Chen Rongji casually said, "Prosecutor Park, can I ask about the specific situation?"

"When you get to the procuratorate, you'll know everything."

The stone lions at the entrance of the Southern District Procuratorate appear particularly solemn.

The black car slowly stopped at the door, the door opened, and Chen Rongji walked down heavily, his face tense and his eyes lowered.

The reporters at the door swarmed over like sharks smelling blood, and the microphones almost poked Chen Rongji's face.

Their voices were noisy, bringing with them a storm of questions, "Vice President Nim, what is your response to the recent corruption allegations?"

“Are you worried about being sued?”

“Are you also engaging in shady dealings with other businessmen or politicians?”

Chen Rongji was almost pushed into the Procuratorate. His steps seemed a little staggering, but his hands were clenched into fists, and his shadow was stretched out in front of the stone lions.

The door of the prosecutor's office slowly closed behind him, making a dull sound that was particularly clear in the noisy environment.

Before Chen Rongji started to fight back, Li You took the initiative to send him to the prosecutor's office. With Park Tae-soo in charge of the case, Chen Rongji could not contact the outside world during the investigation period, and even other prosecutors could not.
In fact, the prosecutors from Chen Rongji's faction were also not available because Li You contacted Chen Dongji. The prosecutors under the two brothers were now fighting each other, and neither side could do anything to the other.

Longfeng Real Estate and its projects were inspected for various reasons, some that needed to be investigated were investigated, some that needed to be prosecuted were prosecuted, and many ongoing projects were suspended.

Kinmen Real Estate did not care whether these projects were high-quality projects or not, and directly launched a commercial sniping attack and began to compete for these real estate projects.

Anyway, housing prices in Seoul have been rising recently, so no matter whether the property is good or not, it will still bring profits.

From the city council to the National Assembly, all the councillors who have connections with Shun Yeung Chan Wing-kee's faction have had a tough time recently.

Originally, choosing between Chen Rongji and Chen Dongji was a very offensive thing. Now that Chen Rongji is under investigation, of course they want to help, otherwise they will offend Chen Rongji as well.

But Chen Dongji also has some members of parliament on his side, and they are also under the same constraints and cannot free their hands.

In the office of the chairman of Kinmen Group, Li You and Chen Dongji were sitting face to face and chatting.

As they were talking, another person came to the door. Chen Dongji looked inquiring, and Li You smiled, "Hyunmin."

Chen Dongji suddenly realized.

"Ms. Mou," Chen Dongji greeted Mou Xianmin who walked in.

"Representative Chen," Mou Xianmin politely returned the greeting and sat down next to Li You, "Xiancheng Daily will publish the evidence of Longfeng Real Estate's second-in-command accepting bribes later."

“Push public opinion a little further.”

Chen Dongji grinned at the two of them, "I am really lucky to have allies like President Li and Miss Mou."

Li You raised his eyebrows, "It's quite lucky."

Chen Dongji still felt a little emotional, "I really don't know how Chen Rongji offended you to make you so angry."

"You've never used those tactics before."

"What means?" Li You smiled, "I am a serious businessman."

Li You added, "As a newcomer in the business world, I am still a rule-abiding person, but since someone wants to cause trouble, I don't have any so-called rules." "That's right," Chen Dongji said, "Anyway, it's enough to know that Chen Rongji deserves it. I am the one who benefits, and I don't have the mood to know about his bad deeds."

This exchange in the office turned into a short meeting. Chen Dongji chatted with the two for a while, looked at his watch, and then stood up to say goodbye.

"I have to go back too," Chen Dongji laughed. "Once Chen Rongji goes in, the leader will be gone. I have to take advantage of this opportunity to get some benefits."

In the interrogation room, Chen Rongji sat there with his eyes lowered, thinking calmly.

What a good trick. He joined forces with his younger brother Chen Dongji and mobilized so many officials to attack together. Chen Dongji was responsible for restraining his congressman and prosecutors, while Li You's men used the prosecutor's unique power to take him away for investigation.

Outside the glass window, Yang Dongzhe stood next to Park Tae-soo.

"For someone of this level, the maximum sentence for bribery is less than a year in prison," Park Tae-soo looked at Chen Rongji indifferently, "He may even be given a suspended sentence because of his age."

"Then if President-nim does this, won't he just have to stay in there for a few days?"

"A few days will be enough," Park Tae-soo's face was as cold as iron. "The more days he stays in there, the more money he loses outside will be an astronomical figure."

This is not just Li You's own strength, but the explosion of power from various families, now concentrated together to attack Chen Rongji.

During the several days of the investigation, everything was calm and quiet from the Procuratorate to the Police Department to the various members of parliament.

Not only that, Li You also took advantage of this opportunity to attack underground forces in other cities in Gyeonggi Province and erode their territory.

Everyone knows that the Kinmen Group is strong, but no one expected that the underground power of the Kinmen Group is so strong.

Within a few days, the fight between underground forces began. Many subordinate gangs took the initiative to surrender to Kinmen. They helped the Kinmen Group to spread the war from Seoul to Incheon Metropolitan City and then to the entire Gyeonggi Province.

Attacks were launched from all sides, and gun battles even broke out in some counties. Stability was no longer present in any place, and even the peaceful atmosphere that had just been created by the North-South talks had dissipated a little.

During this process, everything was calm from the Procuratorate to the Police Department, and there was still no sound at all.

Even Li Lianchang was shocked by what Li You had done recently, and took the initiative to call Li You: "President Li, these days..."

Li You simply replied to him calmly, "The National Intelligence Service and Chen Rongji have jointly targeted me."

Li Lianchang thought of what happened a few days ago and reacted. He didn't say anything, but just gently advised, "The high and mighty Mr. President may have noticed you. You should be more restrained from now on. If you cause too much trouble, it will be difficult to suppress this matter."

Li You hesitated for a while, "I know my limits."

Li Lianchang was speechless. He didn't think Li You had a sense of propriety. It was just that the people who were in a state of panic right now were those on the president's side. After all, the ruling party attached the most importance to social stability and public opinion.

He called just to remind Li You. He nodded and finally said, "If Secretary-General Quan contacts you later, it should be the president's instruction at this time, not his personal behavior."

"it is good."

As Li You expected, after Secretary-General Quan contacted him, he calmly reminded him, indicating that the call was because President Kim had noticed him.

"Chairman Li," Secretary-General Quan smiled, "This is enough. Director Song of the National Intelligence Service has already understood it. There is no need to stir up trouble again."

They didn't call because of Chen Rongji, but because the current chaos in Gyeonggi Province is not in line with President Kim's policy.

"Chief Song of the National Intelligence Service is still a bit stubborn," Li You said with a somewhat sarcastic tone.

"That's true," Secretary-General Quan wanted to laugh.

Li You glanced outside and asked, "Secretary-General Quan, are you interested in joining forces with me to deal with Chief Song?"

Secretary-General Quan was silent for a while. Li You's interests have now involved too many people. If he gets involved...
As the secretary general of Jin Minzhong, his personal ability is not bad, but his position is secretary general, and he is closely tied to Jin Minzhong. There is no way for him to be promoted. He can only rely on Jin Minzhong's trust in him. Everyone in the officialdom knows this well.

Since Kim Min-jung is a person who likes to smooth things over and Director Song of the National Intelligence Service holds the real power, his situation is indeed becoming increasingly difficult.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth with a bit of anger, "What does President Li want to do?"

Li You smiled, "It's nothing, actually. I just need Secretary-General Quan to tell me something about Chief Song of the National Intelligence Service. I know Secretary-General Quan didn't tell me everything some time ago."

Secretary-General Quan paused and said in a cold voice, "Some things about him cannot be reported."

Li You said calmly, "I'm not stupid enough to be an enemy of President Kim."
