Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 567: A sign of unrest, killing the chicken to scare the monkey

It was drizzling in Busan that night.

Since being warned by Li You, Zhang Daozhi has restrained himself a lot. He dared not disobey orders and take the initiative to stir up trouble to make money.

These days, he has been staying in his nightclub base.

In the nightclub, beams of light were flying everywhere, cutting through the turbid air, and the electronic drum beats were making the turned-off chandeliers above tremble.

Cui Yixian, wearing a suit, entered from the back door and was moving along the wall tiles. When the neon purple light swept over him, it illuminated his gray temples.

Li You handed over the Hilton Hotel in Busan to him, and his performance was only average, not outstanding.

He was unable to suppress the two out-and-out gangsters under his command, one was Zhang Daozhi who had worked his way up from the bottom, and the other was Song Rina who had killed her own brother.

Cui Yixian was a civil official who was good at maintaining the balance of local forces, but not a general who could expand the territory in Busan.

Cui Yixian raised his hand to block the fluorescent sticks that hit him. His crocodile leather shoes were always stepping on the dry marble joints at the edge of the dance floor. This man in his fifties had already started to have gray hair.

The electronic subwoofer also made his ears feel a little uncomfortable. If Li You hadn't given the order tonight, he would never have come to Zhang Daozhi's nightclub.

It was a winter day in November and there was a drizzle outside, but the dance floor was steaming hot. There were many brave and playful long-distance girlfriends who only wore a small vest and allowed strangers to touch them.

But the temperature difference between the cold outside and the hot inside was a bit unbearable for Cui Yixian's old bones. He walked to the stairs, his knuckles holding the stair handrail turned blue and white, and beads of sweat oozing from his temples flowed along his wrinkles.

After reaching the box area, the velvet curtains in the box area fell, reducing most of the noise, and he felt a little more comfortable.

As we were walking in the corridor, the frosted glass door of a private room suddenly cracked open, revealing a scarlet glow, revealing half of a woman's face stuck to the door.

Choi Ik-hyun walked on as if he didn't see anything until he reached Jang Do-sik's private area at the back.

When he heard the knock on the door, Zhang Daozhi moved his body in the crocodile leather sofa, and the gold chain around his neck fell into his open collar. He grabbed the sherry next to the ashtray and took a sip, knowing that the old man Cui Yixian was here.

"Come in."

When Cui Yixian walked in, neon spots of light kept moving on the mirrored walls in this huge private room, and the turbid air mixed with tobacco and alcohol was shattered by the heavy bass.

He frowned and looked at Zhang Daozhi.

On the glass coffee table in front of Zhang Daozhi, there was a woman wearing a red suspender dress.

She was very pretty, and at that moment her right knee was kneeling on the cold glass coffee table, with her left leg still in a half-raised arc.

The laser light cut fragments on the ceiling of the private room, illuminating the deep purple carpet with a deep brilliance.

Even though Choi Ik-hyun came in, Jang Do-sik didn't feel the slightest bit ashamed. Instead, he acted carefree and didn't hide anything.

The woman kept moving forward, her knees hitting the sharp corner of the glass coffee table.

When the wine glasses touched each other, the cold wine spilled out, slid down her calves, and mixed with the blood oozing from her knees, dripping onto the cigarette butt on the ground.

Cui Yixian just watched the scene indifferently, waiting for Zhang Daozhi to stop.

For a woman, of course she would be nervous and scared.

The other glasses on the table trembled, and the field of vision shook violently with the movement.

"Pay more attention." Zhang Daozhi said coldly.

She stared at her belt, and with her hands on the ground, she felt for the spilled wine and the half-melted ice cubes.

Zhang Daozhi, who was leaning on the sofa, looked up at Cui Yixian. He wiped the oil off his forehead and said, "Mr. Cui, please sit down."

He also patted the seat next to him.

Cui Yixian was silent for a while. Compared with Zhang Daozhi, Li Youzhen was a saint in the underworld.

When Cui Yixian sat down, the sofa groaned.

Zhang Daozhi calmly took out a Cuban cigar, and the cigar cutter made a crisp clicking sound.

Taking the cigar from Zhang Daozhi, Cui Yixian glanced between his thighs and said, "The president has sent a message. Do you want her to listen here?"

"Mr. Cui is joking," Zhang Daozhi put away his unruly expression.

He reached out and grabbed the woman in the red dress who was curled up on the carpet, and pushed her away.

He pushed her away and said, "You can go now."

The high heels staggered across the ground, making a series of shrill sounds.

The woman still staggered to the ground, her knees pressing on the half-melted ice, trembling slightly in the deafening sound waves of the subwoofer.

Watching her leave, Cui Yixian calmly advised, "President Nim doesn't like this kind of thing."

"I didn't force you to do that," Zhang Daozhi sneered, "The president just doesn't like forcing good girls into prostitution."

"This woman is an artist from a small entertainment company. The boss of that company is from Busan. She was sent over to greet me. I didn't ask for her on my own initiative."

Cui Yixian frowned even more tightly and began to think.

This kind of thing.
"Don't worry about her, she's just an artist," Zhang Daozhi waved his hand, tied his belt, and brought new wine and two new cups. No matter how unhappy he was about Choi Ik-hyun riding on their heads, he still had to obey since it was appointed by Li You. "What did President Nim say?"

"President Nim is about to take action," Cui Yixian gave him a cold look, "You'd better stop your messy business."

Li You's men are spread all over the Korean Peninsula.

Under the influence of the terms, these surrendered gangsters are loyal, but they are all people with their own consciousness, not brainwashed robots.

This led to.
All kinds of things that Li You did not explicitly prohibit were still used by them to make profits, and various internal struggles also occurred among them.

"Those are all good businesses that can make money." Zhang Daozhi opened his mouth and then closed it again, "I understand."

This is the first time I see Cui Yixian being so tough.

This old guy, with the president's authorization, dares to show off like this.

"The second thing," Choi Ik-hyun lowered his eyes and did not touch the wine on the coffee table, "the chairman may come to Busan for inspection."

"Inspection?" Zhang Daozhi almost jumped up. "When did it happen?"

"Not sure." Cui Yixian glanced at him, "It should be to test the deployment of the hotel plan."

Today, Hilton Hotels in major cities are almost completed and put into use.

This is what Li You has repeatedly stressed. If a hotel is to be tasked with managing a city's underground world, mistakes are inevitable if it does not go to the local area in person.

Zhang Daozhi coughed twice due to the wine, and his previous carefree look was long gone.

"What should we do?" Zhang Daozhi was shocked. "The president..."

“I don’t know,” Cui Yixian shook his head. “According to the president’s plan, the hotel is an institution that adjudicates, operates, conveys orders, handles events, and reports major incidents in the local underworld.”

“It’s the equivalent of the city hall and courts of the underworld, but obviously, Busan didn’t do that.”

Zhang Daozhi licked his lips and felt a little worried.

"so what should I do now?"

Cui Yixian shook his head. "It's too late. It's useless for you to ask so many times. Wait for the president to come and admit your mistakes."

He has a way, but he doesn't want to help.

"Follow the instructions of the president, get ready. We will be needed for many things to come."

Looking at Choi Ik-hyun who couldn't wait to leave, and then looking at the untouched drink on the coffee table, Zhang Daozhi's face was gloomy, and he pressed the phone, "Call that woman named Zhang back to me."

Cui Yixian took a breath after walking out of the private room. He didn't want to smell the strong scent of heather inside. While going downstairs, he saw the woman in the red dress walking up with a handbag. After the two passed each other, Cui Yixian frowned and thought.

Should I stab Jang Do-sik? The next morning, Lee Woo came to the living room.

Cui Yixian, who was waiting outside the villa, was allowed in to warm up.

This old man in his fifties rushed to Seoul overnight. After a short rest, he waited outside early in the morning, his legs shaking with cold.

But there are too many women in the villa, and outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission.

When Cui Yixian saw Li You, Li You was wearing a bathrobe, leaning on the sofa in the living room, watching the morning news with a calm expression.

"I just asked Jaejun to pass on a message to you yesterday. Why did you rush over here so early in the morning? Is there trouble in Busan again?"

Cui Yixian hesitated for a moment, but decided to start with small things.

So the first thing that was brought up was the matter of the artists from that small entertainment company.

In fact, Li You doesn't care about this matter. He is just a local official of the underworld group and an artist.

But the incident involving this artist brought to light all of Zhang Daozhi's messy private businesses that were not included in Kinmen Industrial's accounts.

After Cui Yixian returned last night, he immediately sent someone to investigate the entertainment company and discovered that the boss of this small entertainment company was not seriously pursuing a career in the entertainment industry.

This small boss is called Kim Seung-hoon. He made some money from his business before. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the development of the entertainment industry on the Korean Peninsula, he opened an entertainment company in name only. In fact, this company was a cage used to please the powerful and engage in sexual activities.

Kim Seung-hoon, who is good at calculating, uses all kinds of deceptive means to make many beautiful women who want to become stars sign an unfair contract.

The contract stipulates that they must unconditionally obey the company's arrangements. If they violate the contract, they will have to pay a penalty of up to 1 billion won. This clause has become a powerful weapon to control them.

The reason why Kim Seung-hoon sent the female artist named Zhang to Jang Do-sik was because Kim Seung-hoon wanted to get involved in Jang Do-sik's private business.

Zhang Daozhi used the name of Kinmen Group to do these shady private businesses.

These private businesses are not included in Kinmen Industrial’s accounts.

Today's Kinmen Industry has too many gray industries and too many specific industries.

Li You decentralized the management rights of local industries to the hotel manager who was responsible for managing the local underworld and was also responsible for collecting money and turning it over on time.

Because of Li You's entry, loyalty is guaranteed. Zhang Daozhi does not covet the money that is handed over, but he will privately make money in the name of Kinmen Group.

In fact, it is difficult to say whether Kim Seung-hoon wants to take advantage of Jang Do-sik's personal business or wants to rely on the Kinmen Group.

Listening to Cui Yixian's words, Li You frowned, "Tell me, what kind of messed up business is he doing under the name of Kinmen?"

"Sex trade, drug business, human trafficking in Southeast Asian countries, fraud."

Listening to Cui Yixian's words, Li You's eyes showed a hint of danger.

Li You treated those local governors well. Each of them was a billionaire, and he did not object to them making money in the name of the Kinmen Group.

But if you want to make money in the name of Kinmen Group, these things cannot be done.

If one person does this and doesn't strangle him to death, there will be a second and a third.
If more people do these things, sooner or later there will be an explosion.

What Li You needs is the underground world to serve him and the business of Kinmen Group, not the Kinmen Group to constantly clean up the mess for the underground world.

If you want to do it, you can.

But he cannot do it in the name of the Kinmen Group. If something goes wrong, it will be easy for Li You to kick him to death.

simply put.
Either use the name of Kinmen Group and do some serious business. Some partners want to get together. Li You will not stop his people from making money in this way, nor will he take a commission. Or don't use the name of Kinmen Group to do these things. After the news breaks, it will be convenient for Li You to kick him out.

"So you knew all these things," Li You lowered his eyes, not even looking at Cui Yixian in front of him, "but you turned a blind eye to them and kept them secret for so long?"

Cui Yixian knelt on the ground in an instant. The old man was nearly sixty years old. He looked quite decent, but he knelt down quickly and decisively.

"President Nim!" Cui Yixian knocked his head to the ground, "I know I was wrong!"

He knew that Li You didn't like to explain, so he didn't explain and just knelt down.

Li You ignored him. Li Xuexi, who had dyed her hair white, was carefully preparing breakfast in front of Li You.

Li Xuexi is Li You's appointed maid in the villa, dedicated to serving Li You.

Li You looked at her twice. He didn't expect that this obedient Japanese girl would get her hair dyed just because of a casual mention that day.

The hair was not dyed pure white, but a slightly bright silver-white. The girl knelt down beside Li You and saluted, with her hair draped over her back falling to her waist.

Her hair was simply wrapped with a scarlet silk ribbon, shining with a silver hue in the sunlight. A few strands of hair on the left side were pinned behind her ear with a pearl hairpin, swaying gently as she placed the porcelain plates.

After studying it carefully, in order to cater to Li You's preferences, Li Xuexi specially wore matching colored contact lenses. Her light golden pupils were glowing, and her sword-like eyebrows slanted into her temples, making her look like a heroine in a comic book.

Li You admired it for a while and his anger subsided a little, but he still ignored Cui Yixian.

It was not until after dinner that the aroma of freshly ground coffee began to waft through the living room.

When Li Xuexi tucked her hair behind her ears, the silver bell earrings made a clear sound.

Li You patted her lower back. Li Xuexi turned around and lifted up the fine chiffon of her skirt. She subconsciously protected the English tea set that had just been arranged with her left hand, and held the coffee pot in her right hand, and stood beside Li You.

"Pour the coffee," Li You just raised his chin.

"Since you've come at this time, it means you have a plan," Li You calmly listened to the sound of coffee pouring, "Tell me your follow-up."

"Otherwise, go and join Jang Do-sik."

Cui Yixian, who had been kneeling on the ground and dared not raise his head all this time, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His answer was simple and clear, "Use that entertainment company as a trigger to expose the matter proactively and point out Jang Do-sik's fault in the news."

"This is used to warn other princes."

"You are just a tiny piece of land, and you are still a prince." Li You sneered, "Usually I would call you the local leaders in a more elegant way, but now you dare to do this behind my back?"

"We are loyal to you!" Cui Yixian was trembling, not sure whether he was scared or tired from kneeling.

Li You glanced at Cui Yixian coldly, and gradually suppressed the anger brought by the bad news early in the morning. He said calmly, "It's okay to be a dog, and it's okay to snatch food from outside, but you shouldn't take things in the yard out to exchange for food."

"I'll send someone to follow you, and bring back Zhang Daozhi's body when we do it."

"After the matter is done, if any trouble occurs among Zhang Daozhi's subordinates, they will also bring you back."

"Yes!"

Cui Yixian, dressed in a suit and tie, got Li You's permission and then walked out cautiously.

Li You took a sip of coffee and watched the insignificant news program on TV.

After a while, he called Quan Jae-jun, who was standing outside, in.

"Take your people to Busan," Li You said, smelling the aroma of coffee, "and see how Choi Ik-hyun does it."

"If things go well, I will bring back Jang Do-sik's body. If not, I will get rid of all the main people involved and take over the underground in Busan on the spot."

"Does Zhang Daozhi have any children?" Li You asked calmly, "If he does, give him some money to send them abroad."

"Jang Do-sik's funeral will be held in Seoul. Call all the hounds on the Korean Peninsula here," Li You put down the cup of coffee, which was almost empty. "We can use this funeral to train the hounds."

"You don't have to come anymore. I don't dare to use a dog that has no friendship in its heart."

Quan Jae-jun lowered his head, saluted respectfully, then backed away.

"Zhang Daozhi" Li You half-closed his eyes.

For what Zhang Daozhi did, he could be sentenced to death or not, but he happened to be the chicken used as a warning to the monkeys, so he needed to die.
