Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 372 Early Morning Visitor
The night is like a thick piece of black velvet, completely covering the stars above the coastal city of Busan.

Zhang Daozhi and Song Rina appeared at the hotel entrance by car almost at the same time.

After seeing the efficiency of Jeon Jae-jun and Choi Doo-il, they were also a little dumbfounded.

But what comes with it is anxiety.

They hurried into the hotel with quick steps, as if they were not about to step into a bustling hotel, but a minefield with undercurrents.

The door of the Hua Hotel was opened by people from the Golden Gate Group, allowing them to enter.

Zhang Daozhi and Song Rina walked through the red carpet at the entrance of the hall and entered the hotel lobby.

The interior of the hotel was magnificent, and the crystal chandeliers emitted a soft light, which was reflected on the somewhat anxious faces of the two people.

Their shadows lengthened on the gorgeous ground, and as their footsteps moved quickly, the oncoming waiters nodded slightly to them but did not dare to look them in the eye.

Regular waiters are scared to death these days.

Although Li You was very generous and paid them three times their previous salary every day, they were still afraid.

It’s not that they are afraid of the people from Kinmen. Because they found that the people from Kinmen are still very reasonable when facing them.

What they were afraid of was what they would do if Li You was assassinated again.

Zhang Daozhi and Song Ruina in front of them were not ordinary guests. There was already a rumor circulating in Busan that these two would become the leaders of the Busan gangs in the future.
Because they became Li You's hunting dogs.

Zhang Daozhi and Song Ruina walked into the elevator. Zhang Daozhi tugged at the corner of his untidy clothes and looked sideways at Song Ruina, "Song, have you thought about it?"

Song Ruina looked at him coldly and nodded silently. She had no choice.

Zhang Daozhi was a little nervous and muttered to himself in the elevator, "The president must go back to Seoul. Everyone knows that Seoul is the core of Kinmen. We are all from Busan under the president, so we must help each other."

After taking the elevator directly to the top floor, they walked through the corridor, each step making a dull echo in the silence.

The murals on both sides of the corridor, which are usually elegant works of art, seemed quite funny to Zhang Daozhi.

They arrived at Li You's suite, and the number on the door glowed in the light.

The two Kinmen security guards stood upright in front of the door and ignored them, allowing Song Reina to knock on the door gently, and the sound echoed in the relatively empty corridor.

Zhang Daozhi stood behind her with his hands in his windbreaker pockets, clenching his fists before taking them out.

The door slowly opened, and brighter light leaked out from the room, illuminating Zhang Daozhi's thick double chin and Song Rina's dry lips.

They didn't say anything extra, just looked at each other briefly and walked into the suite together.

As soon as they opened the door and walked through the porch, they saw Li You sitting on the sofa next to the coffee table.

The two of them bowed in unison to greet each other, and Li You nodded slightly to express his welcome to their arrival.

He waved his hand, "Sit down."

Zhang Daozhi and Song Ruina bowed respectfully before sitting down opposite Li You and began to explain the spheres of influence they currently controlled.

Their words were succinct and unreserved.

Li You listened to them talking, tapping the armrests lightly with his fingers, each tapping rhythmically.

The night outside the window grew darker, and the two finally finished their story.

"Chairman," Zhang Daozhi took a breath, "I have discussed this with Representative Song."

"It's all up to the president. You can just reconfirm it."

What he said was certain, so naturally they would be divided into new spheres of influence.

But Li You was too lazy to care about those things. "I will sign an agreement with you later. After the signing, you will also get a share of the alliance's dividends."

"Of course, you still have to pay the corresponding price."

Most of the people summoned by the Golden Gate Group this time were from the previous alliance, and they all worked very hard.

"As for the territory they conquered, you two can divide it up and serve as my agents in Busan from now on."

"Then they" Zhang Daozhi was really thinking about Li You, and was afraid that Li You would be misunderstood as not getting an equal share of the spoils.

"They will get bonuses." Li You knew what he was thinking at a glance, "We support them on a daily basis. This is what they should do."

This time the two nodded in gratitude. They didn't expect that not only did their territory not decrease, but it was expanding.

Li You's generosity is well-known in the underground of the Korean Peninsula. He is truly honest and sincere.

"Cui Yixian will be here on my behalf from now on. Will you three collude with each other?"

Li You asked this question, and Zhang Daozhi shuddered, "President, I don't have it."

"I know you didn't," Li You smiled, "Just develop well in Busan. I have already told Dou Ri, and he will be responsible for telling you about the past alliance."

When the two stood up and prepared to leave, Li You seemed to have just remembered something. He took out a small box from the coffee table and threw it to Song Ruina, who hadn't said much.

Seeing Song Ruina's confused look, Li You said calmly, "Representative Song has returned the video to you."

Song Ruina lowered her eyes, nodded after a while, and left the office.

After they found Cui Dou Ri outside, Cui Dou Ri was responsible for telling them some specific obligations and responsibilities of the past alliance.

During the story, Zhang Daozhi listened attentively, but Song Ruina was a little distracted.

She put her hands behind her back, her left hand touching her right wrist, on which there were faintly visible scars, marks of the past.

The black sedan was speeding on the quiet roads in Busan. Since the series of accidents some time ago, the traffic flow on the roads has been affected. Many people now dare not go out at night.

Song Ruina's figure in the car fell into darkness. Her eyes were cold and her face would occasionally appear under the dim street lights outside, appearing particularly indifferent in the interweaving of light and shadow.

The wheels rolled through the lonely street and finally stopped in front of a secluded villa.

This villa located on the edge of Busan city has tight security at the door, which gives Song Rina some sense of security.

The key turned and the heavy door opened. The villa was dim, and Song Ruina walked straight to the audio-visual equipment, inserted the video tape with her fingertips, and pressed the play button.

After a burst of noise and silence, the image finally appeared on the screen, and the dim light it emitted illuminated Song Ruina's face.

The first scene on the video was two figures in a damp cabin, desperately fighting over a knife on the ground.

(Chapter 160)
Even before they got the knife, the two men had a brutal fight, which is what the video is playing now.

The woman on the screen struggled desperately, fighting against the relatively strong man, and gouged out the man's eyes during the struggle.

In the end, the thin woman on the screen grabbed the knife.

Song Ruina looked at her former self with a cold gaze.

She held the knife in her hand, the tip of the knife flashing with cold light, and every time she swung it, she was determined to kill without hesitation.

His good-for-nothing half brother was just waving his fists at first.

Too bad he wasn't that tough.

The fight did not last long. On the screen, the thin Song Ruina stabbed the man in the throat with the last knife. The man fell down and the blood quickly dyed the ground red.

The man's body was covered with knife holes. Song Ruina on the screen struggled to stand up, looked at the camera, and also looked at the current Song Ruina.

The former Song Reina struggled and moved to the corner, instead of lying in his body and pool of blood.

The sound of a door opening was heard again, and the screen shook and then went black.

The videotape ended and the female boss stood in front of the screen, staring at the black screen expressionlessly.

As if staring at a pool of blood, her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the screen and reach the source of the blood.

The memory of that struggle made her mind now unfathomable, just like that brutal fight, cruel and ruthless.

She took out the videotape, threw it into the trash can, and fumbled out a lighter to light a cigarette for herself.

Surrounded by smoke, Song Runa's eyes were blurred and deep. She took a deep puff of smoke, exhaled smoke rings slowly, and released the depression in her heart.

After a long time, she threw away the cigarette, turned on the lighter, threw the lighter with the burning flame in, turned around and walked slowly towards the bedroom deep in the villa.

Song Ruina's figure appeared lonely and steady, but there was still a slight tremor, revealing her fatigue.

The trash can was clean. Apart from cigarettes and lighters, there was only the burning videotape, which was disappearing bit by bit.

Tonight, she extracted fragments of memory from the videotape and let them drift away in the wind, in order to completely abandon the past that she did not want to look back on.

The so-called revenge for killing my father doesn’t matter.

Li You took off his watch and placed it on the coffee table. He then took the cigarette that Yoon Ji-woo lit and asked, "Kim Young-wei hasn't responded yet?"

“Not yet,” Jeon Jae-joon nodded.

Li You narrowed his eyes, "His family?"

"We are still monitoring him," Jeon Jae-jun frowned, "but we heard from Seoul that he hasn't been out for a few days and hasn't gone to school."

"We're still planning on hiding," Li You shook his head and waved them out, "Let's do this for now and see what happens later."

"clear."

After they left, Li You called Yin Jijun again. The two talked for a long time. Finally, Yin Jijun patted his chest and assured that Jin Yingwei would definitely give in.

If it were during the military government period, Li You, the chairman of the Kinmen Group, would have been beaten and punished for doing such a thing.

But after two terms of President Kim's rule, the largest organization in the military was dismantled from the inside out in the early 1990s.

The military power has long been in decline.

The early morning sky is like a canvas, with twinkling stars.

The hotel's neon sign stood out in the silence.

A black car drove slowly and stopped at the entrance of the hotel.

The car door slowly opened, and Jin Yingwei, wearing an oversized sweatshirt, stepped out of the car. He had a hood on his head, and his steps were hesitant and slow, trying to reduce his presence.

The two night security guards leaning against the hotel's glass door watched him walk in, their eyes revealing a hint of vigilance.

"Who?" There was no respect in his voice.

Jin Yingwei looked around and said, "I'm here to see Chairman Li."

"Identity?" The security guard frowned. He had no right to let anyone in to see the president.

"." Jin Yingwei said stealthily, "Why don't you talk to your superiors?"

After a moment, the guard retreated back to the hotel, looked at him warily, and notified Jeon Jae-joon via the radio.

Jin Yingwei stood there, looked around and sighed.

He is a brigadier general, but now even the security guards can block him outside the door.

The occasional sound of passing wind and the chirping of insects in the distance seemed a bit noisy to Jin Yingwei's ears.

Jin Yingwei paced back and forth at the entrance of the hotel in a chaotic rhythm.

Jin Yingwei suddenly looked up and saw Quan Jaejun walking out of the hotel.

Although he didn't know him, Quan Zaijun realized something. He pointed in the direction of the First Naval Base and said, "Over there?"

Seeing Jin Yingwei nod, Quan Zaijun knew what was going on. He nodded slightly to Jin Yingwei, and his attitude became more subtle. "Come in and wait in the hall. The president is still sleeping."

Jin Yingwei opened his mouth but remained calm.
