Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 291 Explosion
"President Nim," the secretary stepped into the room again, his steps light and respectful, with a hint of barely perceptible nervousness in his voice. He came in and respectfully announced, "The person is here and is waiting outside the door."

"Let the little girl reunite with Mr. Zhao first," Li You nodded gently, his eyes swept over the secretary gently, then turned to Zhao Yugui and waved, "We can talk about business later."

Zhao Yugui looked at the door nervously, his heart beating wildly as his daughter's footsteps approached. He rubbed his hands nervously, his eyes fixed on the door. When Zhao Huaying's little face, which was somewhat confused and full of expectation, appeared in his sight, the gloom on his face was instantly dispelled by a warm smile.

"Huaying," Zhao Yugui called softly, his voice full of tenderness and doting. He opened his arms to his daughter and said to her, "Come to Daddy."

"Dad!" A bright smile bloomed on Zhao Huaying's little face. She trotted into Zhao Yugui's arms. The father and daughter were happily reunited.

After a few minutes, Zhao Yugui smiled and coaxed his daughter, "Go out and wait for daddy first, okay? Daddy will take you out to play in a while."

Zhao Huaying nodded obediently and left the room reluctantly.

After coaxing his daughter out, Zhao Yugui let out a long sigh, a trace of apology flashed across his face, "President Nim, I lost my temper."

"It's okay," Li You said calmly, "My daughter has seen it too. Yu Guixi can take out the documents and have a look now."

Zhao Yugui quickly calmed down, quickly opened the briefcase he carried with him, carefully took out a stack of documents, handed them to Li You with both hands, and even put out his seal afterwards.

"President Nim, please take a look at the document and see if there is anything inconsistent. We can change it now."

Li You looked through the document. It was a standard alliance contract, similar to the ones signed by other people in the alliance.

But Li You of Qianming Group doesn’t want these. For Kinmen Group, Qianming needs much more than just superficial cooperation.

Of course, Zhao Yugui brought this contract just to fool Jin Yongzhu.

"Sign this," Li You pushed another document on the desk to Zhao Yugui with an unquestionable firmness in his tone. Zhao Yugui said nothing, turned to the place that needed to be signed, wrote his name and stamped it without any delay.

"President Nim," Zhao Yugui smiled flatteringly and handed the signed documents back to Li You, "It has been signed according to your requirements."

Li You raised his eyebrows and took the document back. "Yuguixi, don't you want to take a look at the specific contents? Aren't you afraid that you will get nothing?"

Zhao Yugui was actually panicking inside, but he couldn't show it. On the surface, he remained calm and just patted his chest, "I believe in President Nim."

Li You glanced at him twice, with a hint of approval in his eyes. He smiled and shook his head, "The terms are still very good."

"From now on, Qianming Group can be renamed Qianming Industry, and it will be considered a subsidiary of Kinmen Group."

Li You handed him another document and said, "This is the letter of appointment appointing you as the president of Qianming Industry. You still have a share of the shares."

"President Nim," Zhao Yugui raised his head with some concern, "What about the shares held by other people?"

"I haven't achieved absolute control yet. I still have to bring it back for them to vote. If it doesn't work out, the contract will not take effect."

He hesitated to speak, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Zhao Yugui previously owned about 30% of the shares, but most of the dividends had to be handed over to Kim Yong-soo.

Although he is the chairman of the company, the one who truly controls Qianming is still Jin Rongzhu, who holds absolute control. The people under him firmly control a large number of shares.

He was well aware of Kim Yong-soo's influence in the company, and those shareholders who were loyal to him would probably not easily turn against him.

He was a little worried. "Most of them are loyal lackeys of Kim Yong-soo. It is impossible for them to turn against him at this time."

"Why not?" Li You seemed to see through his thoughts and smiled faintly, "If Jin Rongzhu fell at this time, wouldn't they be obedient?"

"Kim Yi Yongsu fell down?" Zhao Yugui was a little confused. "How can we make him fall down? He is a relative of the president."

"Jang Myeong-jun and Kim Cheol-soo are from the north," Lee Woo looked at Cho Woo-gyu and turned his eyes away, "Kim Yong-soo colluded with them to sell drugs on a large scale to the north."

"Think about the recent situation," Li You narrowed his eyes, his eyes flickering, "Will President Kim protect him at this time?"

He sneered, "There's no need to hide it from you. President Jin also has his own intentions in taking action against you."

"I see," Zhao Yugui took a breath, "Zhang Mingjun and Jin Zhexiu are from the north."

He knew that Zhang Mingjun was an international drug lord, but he didn't know he was from the north.
Zhao Yugui raised his head suddenly, "President Nim, what did Jin Zhexiu say he was the director of?"

"Drug Research Institute," Li You smiled. "The Nobel Peace Prize will be awarded soon. How could President Kim ruin the reputation he has built up over the years because of this incident?"

"Kim Yong-soo is dead. No one can save him."

"So that's how it is." Zhao Yugui nodded heavily, "Then what do you think I should do?"

"Just stay in Seoul for two days," Li You smiled, "I'll take you to Pacheon City in two days to sort out Qianming's industry."

"You stay in Seoul for the next two days, so that Kim Yong-soo won't be desperate."

Li You looked at him meaningfully, "When these things are over, you go back to take over Qianming Industry and do things according to Kinmen's rules. I won't interfere too much."

"Yes, President Nim," Zhao Yugui suddenly felt hopeful again. This was what he was pursuing.

In the evening, Pocheon City Hospital.

The hospital seemed particularly quiet in the evening. The afterglow shone through the windows and onto the walls of the beds, casting a faint golden color.

Brother Zhang Mingjun on the hospital bed groaned and woke up.

My brother's face was pale, and it was obvious that he had not fully recovered from the anesthesia.

His fingers moved slightly, as if testing his own freedom.

After adapting, he struggled to sit up and looked around, but did not notice the camera opposite.

The young man in the ward kept looking around, and the time inside seemed to have stopped. Every second of waiting was full of tension.

The younger brother's breathing became rapid and his eyes began to become gradually erratic, obviously a reflection of his inner struggle.

Although he didn't know why he was here, he finally made a decision and tried to slide down from the bed quietly, moving towards the door with weak steps.

Jack and his two companions, along with Quan Zaijun, stayed in the hospital's monitoring room, observing Zhang Mingjun's younger brother who had woken up.

The four people in the monitoring room were watching the younger brother's every move through the camera. The breathing of the four people was almost covered by the silent atmosphere in the room. Only the picture on the monitoring screen was constantly updated, showing every move of Zhang Mingjun's younger brother.

"I don't have many people with me," Quan Zaijun looked at his younger brother on the surveillance camera, "Because of the geographical problems in Pacheon City, there are too many abandoned factories. Even if we have the vehicle information, it is too difficult to find their drug manufacturing factory."

"Then keep an eye on him," Jack stared at the surveillance screen, "If he wakes up and finds that he is not handcuffed, he will definitely run away."

"Isn't it that he might temporarily lose some of his memories of the past few days?" Jiang Zhentai scratched his head. "What's the big deal? It's just a few days of memory," Quan Zaijun said, "They have been in Seoul for more than a few days. After waking up in this hospital in a daze, the first thing they must do is to return to their nest."

Jiang Zhentai frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

Jack's eyes were sharp, and his gaze was fixed on the surveillance screen, as if he could see through the other person's mind through the electronic screen, "Keep an eye on him, don't let him escape our sight."

"Drive and keep an eye on him," Quan Zaijun recruited a Kinmen security guard and asked him to inform us after finding the place.

"Yes, Minister-nim."

When I left the hospital, the evening glow of Pachon City had begun to fade away and night fell. However, Pachon City did not have as many neon lights as Seoul. Except for a few street lights, it was dark everywhere.

Wearing a hospital gown, he quietly left the hospital and blended into the night.

The younger brother hid from people's sight in the streets and alleys to avoid his hospital gown being too conspicuous. He stole a car parked on the side of the road and successfully started it. The roar of the engine echoed in the empty streets, like his heartbeat, rapid and nervous.

His hands were already tightly grasping the steering wheel, but now he was confused. Which one was the trap?
I do remember the trap plan. Three days ago, Zhang Mingjun filled two of the three factories with explosives.

But he couldn't remember which factory had the explosives.

But, I don’t know what to do.

Finally he started the car and drove quickly to a drug factory in the suburbs.

The factory is hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the city, surrounded by deserted industrial areas, with abandoned factories and chimneys blending into the night.

This was the first factory they had used before, so it wasn't supposed to be a trap.

After his figure disappeared from the hospital surveillance, the people sent by Quan Zaijun followed closely behind him, driving not far from his car.

After approaching the factory, the younger brother looked at the dark factory in front of him and realized that he had taken the wrong path and came to a trap factory.

He glanced at the car that was quietly following him from behind, and drove into the factory with a desperate look in his eyes.

The Kinmen security personnel watched him go in and quickly reported the situation.

"found it?"

"But the situation is a bit strange," Quan Jae-jun frowned and nodded, "It's very likely a trap."

"With his little brother's life?"

"Don't doubt Zhang Mingjun's charm," Lin Zheling said, "He is a very courageous villain."

"Anyway," Jack said, "we need to go out. Whether it's a trap or not, we need to step on the mines."

Jiang Zhentai trembled inwardly, "Do we need to take another risk?"

Lin Zheling patted his shoulder and went out first.

As soon as the young man in the factory entered the factory, his eyes were immediately attracted by the explosives scattered in the small space. On the floor, a thin fuse was like a snake, winding towards the center of the factory. There, a pile of explosives was piled up into a hill as high as a person, and on top of it was an ordinary mobile phone.

He walked closer with trembling steps, and when his fingers touched the cold shell of the phone, he retracted as if he had been electrocuted.

The only number in the address book seemed like a door to another world. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and finally mustered up the courage to dial that number.

"Hello?" Zhang Mingjun's voice came from the other end of the phone, calm and almost indifferent.

"Brother," the younger brother said tremblingly, "it's me."

As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice trembled involuntarily, so he simply announced his identity, as if he was stating an insignificant fact.

"So it was you who went there," Zhang Mingjun said calmly, "The guy who was following us over there asked me why someone drove in and asked me if I wanted to detonate it."

"Now that you've gone there," he said without any emotion, "you'll be the one to set it off."

The younger brother's heart suddenly shrank, and he seemed to be able to hear the sound of his own heartbeat, echoing in the dead silent factory.

He said, "I will pick up your parents and sister from the north, don't worry."

The younger brother breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded heavily, a trace of relief flashing in his eyes, "I understand, big brother."

Zhang Mingjun’s words are trustworthy. All the relatives of the younger brother who had died before were secretly taken to the north by Zhang Mingjun. They received the pension and lived a good life.

When Jack, his two companions and Quan Jae-joon arrived at the factory through intelligence, they found that it was full of explosives as soon as they entered the factory.

The smell of gunpowder and tension in the air mixed together to form a deadly aroma.

The younger brother in hospital gown stood in the middle of the factory, his face still showing an expression of despair and struggle.

Even though I have spoken to Zhang Mingjun on the phone, who can face death calmly?

Seeing several people coming in, the younger brother knew that his end was coming. His fingers trembled, but he finally pressed the fatal button.

"Shit!" Lin Zheling's eyes widened, and he immediately pulled Jiang Zhentai aside and ran back.

Jack and Quan Jae-jun were also quick to react and move quickly.

Behind them, with a deafening bang, the explosives inside the factory exploded like waves, flames shot up into the sky, and a hideous mushroom cloud rose in the night sky.

The younger brother was immediately engulfed in billowing smoke and ruthless flames, becoming the victim of this confrontation.

A raging fire began to engulf the abandoned factory, and every explosion seemed like a mockery of fate.

The Kinmen security guards standing outside stepped back in shock, the firelight illuminating their faces.

"All of you!" the Kinmen security guard yelled, "Shit! Go in and find someone!"

"They're coming out," a sharp-eyed person from Kinmen Security saw several people staggering.

"Shit." Jack cursed, which was rare. "Zhang Mingjun is a lunatic."

"Luckily, this guy detonated the bomb early, which gave us some time," Lin Zheling said. "He detonated the bomb just as we entered the factory, giving us more than ten seconds to run out."
