Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 48: Transactions Must Be Paid
At the end of April, seven or eight stores in Seocho District started to renovate this month. Long Da was in charge of all matters there and was very busy.

On the contrary, Li You has been much more free during this period. Every day he would watch TV programs attacking the outgoing president in the office, or read the newspapers that were sent to him.

He would ask for specific reports and lists of monthly income, and then hire professionals to count them.

Life was quite leisurely. There was no news from Han Jiangzhi, and Li You would not rush over.

But there was a rather surprising piece of news in the newspaper today. I guess Han Jiangzhi is currently busy with this matter.

A prosecutor died. He was found buried in a field the night before yesterday by a farmer who was digging wild vegetables. The report said that the prosecutor had several knife wounds on his body, but his wallet and all his belongings were still there. The Procuratorate determined that it was a revenge killing.

Park Tae-soo called and Li You pressed the answer button.

"Deputy Li!" His voice was a little hurried. "Do you know that there is a force called Huangshui in Seoul?"

"Yellow water?" Li You thought for a moment, "I've never heard of it. What's the matter?"

Park Tae-soo was also having a headache. "The Criminal Division is currently investigating a murder case, and the prosecutor who was murdered was investigating them before his death."

"The entire Criminal Division is now fully investigating, but no evidence has been found. Minister Han was supposed to go to the Central District Prosecutor's Office next month to take up the post of deputy director, but now he is tied up in this case."

"Minister Han told me," Park Tae-soo stuttered, "that we really couldn't find any evidence, so we would like to trouble Representative Lee to help us 'find' some evidence."

He emphasized the word "assistance" and Li You understood what he meant. "What kind of force is Huangshui?"

"The victim is a prosecutor from the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office. Logically, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office should be responsible, but the body was found in Songpa District, so it was handed over to us. I will send the specific information to the bar where we met last time in Seocho District." Park Tae-soo briefly introduced, "It should be run by Gangnam Industrial now, right?"

Songpa-gu is located to the east of Gangnam-gu, and Seocho-gu is located to the west of Gangnam-gu.

Lee Woo tapped his fingers. “I can help, Prosecutor Park.”

"But first of all, what about the reward?"

Park Tae-soo was choked. "Representative Li, this is Minister Han——"

"Minister Han?" Li You laughed twice. "Minister Han, you don't think you can get others to work hard for you without paying anything, right?"

"This kind of thing requires employees to work hard, we can't let them work for nothing, right?"

"Li You," Han Jiangzhi, who answered the phone, said in a deep voice, "We are all well aware of the current situation. Gangnam Industrial's industries have basically occupied Gangnam District and Seocho District."

"Songpo District is currently carrying out demolition work, and a portion of the area has been handed over to a local small real estate company, which then handed the work over to the Huangshui Gang."

"The victim was a prosecutor, and he was investigating them before he died."

"But he was killed and has been dead for some time. This is a disgrace to the entire prosecutor's office."

"I'll guarantee you," Han Jiangzhi said expressionlessly, "If you help me solve this matter, no prosecutor from the Southern District Prosecutor's Office will investigate Jiangnan Industry, even if your influence will spread across the three districts."

The promise given by Han Jiangzhi is indeed very attractive. Now that the number of people in Jiangnan Industrial is increasing and its influence is growing, what they are afraid of is that the prosecutor will find fault.

No matter how honest a company is, it is still a company and there will always be loopholes.

"I feel relieved with Minister Han's words," Li You put the phone close to him, "Just ask Prosecutor Park to deliver the information to the bar."

In less than an hour, Cui Douri rushed over and handed over a file bag with both hands, "President."

Li You opened the document and took a look. Choi Doo-il asked hesitantly, "President, there may be some problems in Seocho District." "Seocho District?" Li You closed the bag, "What happened?"

"I haven't told Longda and the others yet," Choi Doo-il gritted his teeth, "It should be someone from Mokpo. I saw two employees I've seen on the street today who are from Mokpo."

He looked at Li You who had no reaction and took the initiative to ask, "President, do you want to kill them?"

Li You raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "You don't seem to have a sense of belonging to Mokpo."

"Sense of belonging?" Cui Dou Ri laughed twice, "Who would have a sense of belonging? I'm not talking about Jiangnan."

"It's okay, this is normal." Li You thought about it and suddenly said, "The wild dog is serving Han Jiangzhi, right?"

Cui Dou Ri was silent for a long time, and Li You waited for him quietly.

"Yes, I must have known it when you asked me." Cui Douri said everything, "There is a company that sends a large sum of money to Han Jiangzhi every month so that he can make friends with all kinds of dignitaries."

"Can you be more specific?" Li You naturally knew all this. After all, he was very familiar with this part of the plot. He just wanted to see Cui Dou Ri's determination.

"All these things were done by the previous president himself. Even if I was the second in command, I couldn't interfere. Han Jiangzhi attaches great importance to confidentiality." Cui Douri thought for a while, "But the money should have been transferred to Han Jiangzhi through Hankou Bank."

"Hankou Bank?" Li You tapped the table rhythmically. "Have you met anyone from Hankou Bank?"

"There were so many people meeting the president that I didn't know which one was from Hankou Bank."

"Douri, by saying all this, has he decided to follow Jiangnan Industrial all the way to the end?"

"If Han Jiangzhi knew you said this, he might ask your former president to kill you tomorrow."

"It doesn't matter," Cui Dou Ri took out a cigarette and looked at Li You.

"Come on."

He lit up a cigarette and took a deep breath. "After doing this for so long, I've already seen clearly that these powerful people are just using us like dogs."

"Gangnam Industry." Choi Doo-il recalled what Park Tae-soo had been telling him these days, "At least Gangnam Industry has a future. It won't be slaughtered like a stray dog."

Li You admires Choi Doo-il very much. Whether in the movies of his previous life or in reality now, he is a very loyal guy.

"President," Choi Doo-il exhaled smoke and looked at Lee Woo sincerely, "Support Tae-soo!"

"Just like those presidents supported by the chaebols!"

"Are you so confident?" Li You also took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Cui Dou Ri hurried over to light it.

"To be honest," Choi Doo-il said with a wry smile, "I don't have much confidence, but Tae-soo has confidence in Gangnam Industrial and I believe in him."

"He is indeed a man of integrity," Li You said, holding a cigarette in his mouth. "It's too early to say these things now. Both Prosecutor Park and our Jiangnan Industry are still just small shrimps."

"Let the future take care of the future." He took only one puff and put the cigarette in the ashtray. "Take care of the present first."

"After you finish your work with Seochao, pay more attention to Hankou Bank. If you need help, you can find Long Da."
